 LAST LISTS TODAY. Automobile, Motorcycle and Motorboat Owners Are Among Delinquents.

 Not all the auto owners or mOtOrCy- c1e owners have put in their machines yet, and there is a lengthy list of mo- torboat owners who have made no ap- pearance to put in their boats as they are required to do. One of the as sessors remarked Friday that there had been quite a list of motorboat owners who had signed a protest against let ting A. C.. Smiths boats land at the dock in the Shetucket river, and that while MT. Smith pays taxes on seV- eral thousand dollars for his boats, none of these motorboat owners that he could recall had put in a list. Most of them own boats that are anchored in the ShetuCket river.

SPIRITUAL UNION
 IN THRIVING CONDITION
Willard J. Hull Giving Addresses-Re-
 cent Legacy of $1,0o0 Received.

Since the First Spiritual union re- opened it's academy on Park street this fall on Sunday, October End, Willard J. Hull of Chicago, ILL, has given the addresses each Sunday and notwith- standing the stormy weather excellent audiences have been in attendance.
 MT. Hull is one of the most eloquent speakers upon the Spiritualist platform and one of it's leading exponents both as speaker and writer, having been editor of the Light of Truth for ten years.
 Owing to Rev. Albert P Blinn's weakness of voice he will not be able to speak for some time longer and MT. Hull has been retained as speaker for next Sunday. and also Nov. 18th.
 Mrs. May Pepper Vanderbilt, whose marvellous psychic powers have made her fame worldwide, has been secured as speaker and test medium for Sun day, Nov. 9th, and services will be held morning and evening.
 It is expected that Mrs. c. s. Brad ley, one of the well known mediums of the Pacific coast, will occupy the platform Nov. 23rd and if able, MT. Blinn will speak on the last Sunday of the month.
 The Helping Hands are well in the swing of their social affairs. The weekly sewing circles are held each Tuesday afternoon at the homes of different members in preparation for the fall sale.
 The first supper of the season was held October 18th with a large pat ronage and the suppers will be con- tinued at the regular intervals twice 8 month until spring
 Two whists have been given under the auspices of the entertainment com- mittee and will be a fortnightly fea- ture of the social life of the Helping Hands through the winter
 While the expense of carpeting the lecture room and renovating the acad- emy the past summer, was quite large, the union is in splendid financial con ditlon, all bills being paid and no out standing debts. In August it received a legacy of $1,000 which was deposited in the bank to be known as the Gay fund, it being a bequest from the es- tate of the late pr. Gay. This, with the Boardman and the Chapman funds gives the Spiritual union a substan- tial annual income without touching the principal.
