Seeding was pretty generally interrupted on
Wednesday by a high wind accompanied by
frequent spurts Of snow, rendering outdoor
work very disagrecable. Thursday morning ap-
preached nearer to real downright blizzard
than anything we had during the winter, but
fortunately it lasted but short time, the sun
in the afternoon breaking through the clouds,
and though the wind continued high, the
weather was more endurable. This morning
is cloudy, but milder, and work has again COM
menced. 1t will tako week or ten days yet
to complete seeding.

 The Willimantic Linen Company. for the first time in it's history, has an issue with employees concerning wages. Some months ago the company voluntarily re- duced its working hours from II to 10 hours per day with no change of wages. Later, business growing dull, it reduced it's force of winders, and cut the wages of those retained ten per cent. Since it has put on full working force of winders. The girls, taking this as an indication of better times and profit, asked for restoration Of the ten per cent. The company say that business is not good, and that they can't afford the increase, and have shut down the finishing department for few days for inventory. Whether the girls will be ready to resume when their work is ready for them again is problem, but there seems to be an impression that they will not, and that other departments will join them in strike. These girls are now earning $6 and 87 per week.

Daniel webster's Fees.
worcester Mass. } spy.l


In view of the protrscted trial in our
Superior Court last week it is Of interest TO
note the fees which Daniel Webster received
for his services. For many years he kept q
regular account of his professional receipts,
and for two OF those years the accounts have
been published. In the first of the two.
when he was about thirty seven years of age,
his receipts, emitting several small affairs, y
amounted to $50, Isl. The number of items,
mostly against different clients, was 100.
The largest charge WIS $1,000. There
were twenty-tour retainers in the year,
amounting in the aggregate to 81 $40. The
largest was retainer in patent cases" of
$50; but the most of the retainers were Of
Sl00 and $50. The second published account
covered the years 1882 SO, when Webster
was nifty years old. The amount of receipts
for this year was IS, 2l2 but out of this is to
be deducted 1902 as Congressional pay"
This leaves for his professional receipts
s., 220. The largest fee this year Was $500
there were only forty-four items, and of
these eighteen were retainers, amounting to
81 $50. One Of them was for 500 for "Dr
Motifs patent causes" "A very poor years
work" SAYS Webster. Qualification kept
me out of the Supreme Court all the last
