A Washington special says " Thus far
no senator's and but few members from New
England have drawn the increase Of salary.
Some of them are still undetermined what
to do about it. They think that their con-
stituents being called on to pay their share
of the increased tax necessary to pay the in
creased compensation, it would be right and
best to draw the amount and place it in
their districts in some way for the direct
benefit Of their constituents. Mr.. Willard,
of Vermont, has thought of founding a
scholarship in Middlebury for each county
in his district -

for, the wind blowing sharply from thu
northwest, but the sons of the " Greer
Isle, resident in this city and in the neigh

numbers, to celebrate with unusual pomI
and display, the anniversary of the patron
saint of Ireland, who lived to the gooC
old age of 1913. All were in holiday attire
and the shamrock and green ribbon were
worn by all true Irishmen, with hardly
an exception. By nine O'Clock the City
Hall was well filled with the various Irisi
societies and civic organizations which
were to take part in the proceedings Of
the day.

The recent heavy rains West have

it is now briln full and running out
III some low pieces in the bottoms

the bottoms arc very uneasy and
fearful of an overflow. There are
many prophets, as there always are,
predicting evil and disaster and a
general overflow, but few, however,
give their foreknowledgc much Gre
dence, as tho same has been predicted
every year since 1874. Should any
