of her death, the daughter of Ma
thaniel Gilman, who made $5,000,O00
in mercantile pursuits.
When her father died in 1858, there
was a contest over the property by
the children Of his first and second
marriages, which was finally COM
promised by the heirs of the second
marriage getting $4,000. During
this fight Miss Gilman, with $1,000

lutte peer of melodrama, and enjoyed

gree seldom obtained on. the American

ment from curtain to curtain; dia-
1ogue that is breezy and "up-to-the-

INTERNATIONAL
Eco CONTEST

The excellent performance of the
birds in the laying contest at Storrs
seems to be prima facie evidence that
in each succeeding year the hens are
better selected and better groomed
for the race. In the second week of
the contest there was a total yield of
1248 eggs as compared with Oil eggs
in the first week and 1870 in the, corr
responding week year ago. Further
more at the end Of the first fortnight
two years ago there were FL pens
that had laid no eggs Last year at
the same time there were Is pens that
had not got started. In the present
competition there are only IL pens in
this class.
The White Leghorns are maintain
ing the lead they took in the first lap.
The same three Connecticut pens that
led in the first week were likewise
leaders in the second week but in a
little different order. Hilltop Poultry
Yards birds from Sufield were first
with A eggA. Hillside Farms pen
from West Wellington won second
place with yield of 40 eggs and Cliff
ford l. Stoddard's pen from Wood
bridge were third with a production
OF SO eggs. The nearest approach
to these three leaders was H. W. Col
Hngwood's pen OF White Leghorns
from WoodcNffe Lake, N. j., that laid
80 eggs during the week. Hens that
can lay an egg every day in the week
at this season of the year are few and
far between, yet there are two pullets,
Buff Rock No. 1875 and White Orping-
ton No. 536 that lair seven eggs each
In the second week of the competi-
ton. tt7
The same simplifed feeds that gave
such excellent results last year will
be continued in the present contest.
The mash and grain formulas are as

Anna Held i'm ssFoIlow Me-

Anna Held has returned to musical
comedy and has made a great success
in Follow Me-" which will be pre-
scented at the Shubert theatre, New
Haven, Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, Nov. 23-24-25. Miss Held made
her first appearance in this musical
piece fortnight ago and literally
"came back
Follow me" is an adaptation from
a delightful operetta by Felix Dor
man with music by Leo Ascher. The
music Of the reconstructed piece is by
Sfgmund Ronberg and lyrics by r. B.
Smith. Added numbers are the work
of Mr.. Alfred Bryan and Miss Held,
Mr.. Harry Tierney and Miss Helen
Trk. Just as Miss Held's artistic mind
is seen in the general construction Of
the piece with it's dainty and rollick-
ing numbers, the star has caused her
songs to be prepared at her own sug-
gestions thus giving assurance of
numbers that fit her talents perfectly.
In support of Mis- Held will appear
Roy. Atwell, Florence Moore, w. P.
Carleton, Lefty Yorks, James Watts,
Sisters, George Egan, Robert Capron
and others.
The chorus members, thirty girls
including ten of the most beautiful to
be found in New York, and who will
make up the Anna Held girls, are
destined to take rank in popularity
and general feminine charm with
those sets of girls which have been
distinct features of other Anna Held
productions.
These are three acts and the scenes
all laid in Paris. One reveals q
charity bazaar for wounded soldiers
in the garden of q villa; another is
the scene Of go. locus green room
of a theatre and the third is an Ella
borate cafe scene.
