UNIVERSAL STORE
 VENTURE SUCCEEDS
|. F. &. C. Grocery Popular and
 Has Thousand Customers

The Universal Cooperative society," Incorporated some three months ago has proved to be a wonderful suc- cess, according to Manager Owen and the board of directors. With large store on East Main street, established for the benefit of the employees of Landers, Frary & Clark, over thou sand employees have been able to buy their household supplies practically at cost.
 Through the cooperation and H1or- al support Of the Landers. Frary & Clark Co.,. the society was able to secure a large store 12O by 45 feet cn East Main street free of rent and the heat and lights at cost The building is unusually adapted for store with it's large front. An office Is located in the center of the store with long counters on each sade On both sides of the office the goods are laid out the same way 50 that a person entering the lower end of the store would not necessarily have to walk to the other end for any article. The shelves are laid out on the plan of factory stock room. the goods being in view for the customers all the time. They are not handled by the customers. All sales are cash sales and there are no deliveries. Since the establishm ent of the store the directors estimate that the volume of business has increased two fold. John Owen, the manager, has full charge of both the buying and selling.
 Joseph O. Elmer Is president of the society, Oscar A. Marsh treasurer and A. G. Anderson secretary The direc- tors besides the officers are F. B. Lan- don, Herbert Webster, John J. Heck lin and Joseph Owsiak
 .. According to the by laws of the society any employe of Landers, Frary & Clark may become a member of the society by paying a mebershipi fee of $10. The membership fee is good at any time for merchandise not over the amount of the fee. Any member may withdraw from membership and is entitled to receive the balance of his membership fees over any indebtness.
 When a member leaves the com pany he ceases to be a member, and he receives his membership fee back above indebtness if there should be any. It was stated by the manager that the store is not run in competi- ton with other merchants but Is run strictly for the employees of the fac tory, so that they may get their household articles as cheap as pos- sible and be caused less trouble by MT. High Cost of Living.

Lawyer c. H. Mitchell Enters Protest
 Against Alleged Nuisance
 The now historic lawsuit of Nit chell vs. the United Electric Light and Water company was again heard in the city court yesterday. Lawyer c. H. Mitchell seeks damages because, it is alleged. the lighting company strung wires across his property on Lincoln street. He previously brought action for an injunction and when that was not granted he sought damages.
 Lawyer Mitchell, assisted by Judge F. B. Hungerford. is fighting his own case, while Judge W. F. Henney, of Hartford, represents the corporation Lawyer Mitchell declared in his ar gument that the lighting company has no more right to invade his property than Germany had to invade Belgium.
 If they are allowed to push me this much off my property they will soon be able to take it all," he pro- tested.
 In conclusion, Lawyer Mitchell de- clared that Eff they can be upheld in the courts, then 8 person should not be blamed if, some day, he goes out and cuts down those wires"

APPRA1sE CITY PROPERTY.
City Hall Building and Tenements
 Valued at Quarter of Million

An appraisal of the buildings owned by the city, comprising the city hall building and the Washington Place tenements, has been completed by John w. Allen of this city and Frank Bliss of Hartford. and shows that the properties are worth upwards of quarter of a million. The city hal, building is appraised at $222,293 and the tenement block at $15,933, mak- ing total of $238,226.
 This amount does not represent the market value, however, as the ap- praisal includes only the insurablt value of the buildings and does not include the value of the land
