Webster's dictionary defines
claustrophobia as the morbid

Today Attorney Joseph z. Con-

"Dillinger is a victim Of this

Somebody recently remarked
 that the leaders of the republican
 party, at the present time. remind
 ed one of q bunch of old ladies sit- ting in a captured city-waiting for
 the atrocities to begin."
 We'll, my Aunt Jane doesn't even wait for them. She goes on out and pulls 'em out of a hat presto change! And here we have another democratic outrage taken
 right out of the air.
 I went to call upon her the other day with hopes of gathering Q lit. tie material for this column, and the minute 1 got inside the door knew 1 had struck 'pay-dirt" To
 an outsider 1t probably would have seemed as if the old lady had con- tracted hydrophobia, minus the
 lock- jaw com plication, for she was
 literally frothing at the mouth and running around in steadily decreas- ing circles, yipping like q mad dog To me these symptoms merely meant that she was thinking about the New Deal. So sat down quietly and waited for the details. They came soon enough.

She had come charging along in her car and had
 expected the worthless "peasants' who were blocking the right of way to scatter right and left, like bee wildered chickens, before the im- perious blast of the horn of the
 lady of the manor. Instead of this,
 and most galling Of all, they paid no attention to her whatsoever. Again ske blew a long, insistent, autocratic demand and, this time, one of the peong strengthened up from his shoveling job and insuIted her.
 What did he say, Auntie?" "Why. the ragnmuffin leered at

 Now Aunt Jane's unshakeable belief in the respect due her as an |arist0crat, a belief by no means un. common among the republican oii- gnrchy of Connecticut, has always |puzzIod mo because it ig based upon so much aH4oK bunk. &V 4Mns ia

 Over WTIC Last Night on Tercentenary Celebration

My voloe is on the air tonight to toll tho people of tho state about the plans which arc being developed to celebrate next year the three. .hundrodth anniversary of tho settlement of tho Connecticut Colony along tho Sound and up the Great River. Five years ago tho General Assembly authorized the governor to appoint q toreon. tennry commission, of which the chairman is Colonel Samuel Fish. CT, formtr rly of New Haven, now of LitchAold. Associated with him 10 q group of representative citizens.
 Three hundred years of prosras. sIve achievement Is q record that can be considered with sincere pride. Tn those three centuries, Connecticut has gone steadily for. ward. AS n colony and as q state, she has taken full share In tho affairs of tho nation. Her citizens have contributed beyond tho aver. age not only to the welfare and advancement of thls country but to tho general progress Of civiliZa- ton, It is tho throo.hundrodth an' nIycrsury of this record Of achieve. ment that is to be celebrated. Just tribute will be paid to the founders and to tho deeds of those who Tn the succeeding years have brought honor and fame to tho state by their meritorious services. It is Q long honor roll.
 Claims Unique Distinction
 Connecticut can claim the dis- tinction of laying the secure foun. dations of seif-governmont in America. With tho adoption of the Fundamental orders in 1889 began that practice of government In the name of the people which was dos. tined to spread throughout the colonies, the states, and tho nation, Mon of Connecticut aided in draft Ing the Declaration of fndepend. ence and in the framing of the fed. erai constitution. Always her rep. resentatives have played important roles in the many branches of the national administration.

no more q true arlstocrat than she
 Is q nanny-goat; although at times
 1 have reen her display certain
 chara cteristics of the latter. Her grandfather was diligent and lucky
 enough to make q moderate for
 tune out of -freezable brass
 monkeys or wooden nutmegs, but
 he was certainly no English coun- try squire in any way. The old man spent his spare time sitting on the front porch in his shirtsleeves, chewing tobacco, with his feet cooked up on the railing; and he was a pretty good guy because he
 was himself. But 1 am sure that
 Aunt Jane has rationalized herself into believing that this must have
 been some other fellow and that her grandsire was out riding to the
 hounds in red coat.
 Now, no true aristocrat ever lacked the common touch" or shirked the responsibilities which accompany the privileges and 1t seems to me that 1t is just in these matters where the republican oli- garchy of Connecticut, based upon wealth alone, has fallen down SO
 badly. The political philosophy of
 most of them is apt to be based
 upon a cursory perusal of a biog-
 raphy of Alexander Hamilton, mixed with jumbled fragments from the lectures of itinerant Eng
 lishmen and seasoned with child
 hood memories from Little Lord
 Fauntleroy." Also they. had be-

 makes tj em rotten losers and the
 result is the vindictive whispering

 Her story this week is, that the

Of all the strange and unusual animals in the mommoth menag- erie of the Ringing Bros and Barnum & Bailey Combined Cir GUS, a group of giant anteaters are most remarkable in appearance.

limbs provided with great curved claws suitable for digging, make this species of anteater one of the l most curious looking creatures in the animal kingdom.
 While rugged and strong and much larger in size than the scaly anteaters which in Asia and Africa are known as pangolins. these strange animals are timid and tn- offensive and are easily overcome by the jaguar and other enemies in their native haunts.

 These exhibits and other activ- ities are scheduled for the summer and early fall of 1885. The cele- bration will conclude with appro-- priate meetings and ceremonies and with impressive and dignified pag. eants and parades.
 Interest in Connecticut's tercen- tenary is already nationwide. Na- tives of Connecticut and their des- cendants have aided in the build ing of every state in the Union. As early as the end of the first cen- tury under the federal constitu- ton, Connecticut had supplied at least one member of Congress for more than three e-fourths of the states. Hundreds of letters have been received from other states and other countries asking for de- tails of the program, and giving or requesting information about fam flies and ancestors and old homes here. The state will be host next year to thousands of Americans who are directly interested in Con. necticut with pride in their Con- necticut ancestry. Much will have to be done to make their visit pleasant and provide ways to give everyone a true picture of the past and the present of Connecticut. The tercentenary commission is small in number, but already more than two hundred persons have enlisted in the work. By next year commit tee membership will probably be trebled, and without doubt there will be part for everyone to play.
 As governor, ask for the state of Connecticut and the tercenten- ary commission the cooperation of all our people that the celebra. ton may be truly representative of the spirit of the state and fitting tribute to the founders and to those men and women whose achievements during three hundred years have made great Connecti- cut.
