U. 8. FINISHING PREFERRED.
No Company More capabiy Managed from Executive to Manufacturing.

The American Wool and Cotton Re- porter of New York has the following interesting item regarding the pre- ferred stock of the United States Fin lshing company:
 There was as sale of s6 shares of United States Finishing preferred at the auction last week, which seems to be the first public sale in many months. Par was paid, an advance of eight dollars a share, and the pur- chaser secured as good an inves tment as could be desired, as the securities of the United States Finishing company are of the very highest character, all though not especially we'll known to the general investor, because so few shares come into the market Even during the panic year the company made an excellent showing, and since that depressing period has passed earnings have been even better than standard, as the efficiency of the United States Finishing plant Is in- creasing and enlargements will soon give 1t greater capacity.
 There is no textile finishing concern in the world that Is more capably managed, from executive to rnanufac- turing, and the men responsible for the success of this large enterprise, from president to resident agents at the sev- eral mills, are men of affairs, as well as finishing experts. The preferred shares of this enterprise we look upon as a safe investment, something to put away for the future even to pass down to un- born generations. as the property is a growing one and every new brick laid is with an intelligent purpose of in- creasing earnings.

 F. J. Murtha and President FIanlon of the Taftville division also addressed the meeting.
 Instead of organizing a division in Fitchville, 1t was decided that it would be better for those interested to join one of the local divisions for the pres ent. as the expense would be less than maintaining Q division there.

FORMER NORWICH WOMAN
As a Trial Wife Widow Falls Heir to
 Large Estate.
New York despatch says:

A New York despatch says:
 By a decision of Surrogate Cohalan, Mrs. Elizabeth c. 'Blackman, formerly Mrs. Albert Bussey of Norwich, Conn., is held to be the lawful widow of Hen " Blackman the wood pulp manu- facturer. with whom she entered into a trial marriage, after both were di- vorced Mrs. Blackman thereby falls heir to a large part of Blackman's es- tate, valued at about S1,000.000.
 When Blackman died, his trial wife applied for administration papers on the ground that she was his lawful widow. After she was appointed, Blackman's sisters and brother brought an action to have her re- moved. They challenged her to pro- duce her marriage certificate or tell the name of the clergyman who per- formed the ceremony.
 She could do neither, but main- tained that her relations with Black man before his death constituted a legal marriage. She produced letters from Blackman's two sisters in which they acknowledged her as his wife and adduced the testimony of persons to whom she had been introduced by Blackman as his wife.

INJURED BY ELECTRIC,
 DOE HAD TO BE KILLED.
Carcass Will Be Sent to County Home Farmers Complain of Too Many Deer

On Saturday afternoon 1t Is believed that a Norwich and Westerly electric car struck and crushed both of the hind legs of a doe, on the East Side. The doe was seen trying to get about on the stumps on the Jencks farm, and word was sent to Humane Agent George IT: Stanton. He communicat- ed with County Game Warden G. H. Bradford of Montville, who instructed him to kill the animal and have the carcass sent to the county home. About the middle of tFe afternoon Mir Stanton drove to the Jencl1s farm, and found the doe had been placed in a box stall. Walter Holden was taken along, and the doe was found so bad ly injured thot it was necessary to butcher 1t there, which was done, the carcass being brought to the local market to be dressed, and wall be sent to the county home. It weighed be- tween 50 and 75 pounds
 Farmers in Montville state that the deer are too numerous on the farm land for the good of the crops, and have in several instances been seen with the cattle in the lots, and have already done some damage to early planted gardens. Along the highway especially in Mohegan deer are ire Quently seen, and recently of a herd of four one failed to be frightened by a passing car and watched it out of sight.
 In Salem the farmers are also re- porting big losses from the deer, who get into their fields and destroy their early vegetables, and later will do much more damage. They consider the law protecting them had been on too long already.
 One morning last week a young doe ran through North Thames street, where it attracted much attention un- til it disappeared, going north up the railroad track

Givernaud Brothers are increasing the capacity of their silk mill on Me chanic street on the West Side by putting in fifteen more looms, all the latest Gem silk looms. Eight have already been received and the others are on the way. All will be installed on the main floor and will call for about dozen additional help, making the total number employed 140. about equally divided, men and women.
 In the last two years, while W. L.
