 The Excelsior woolen mills of Wales were closed Monday, owing to difficulty between the employees and management over payment of wages. These mills are controled by the Bakers of Springfield and Stafford Springs, and have been run ming we'll for some time. Not long ago, in accordance with the requirements of the law, the Berkeley mills, under the management of H. A. Shaw, began mak- Ing weekly payments. The Excelsior mills were ordered to do so at the same time, but did not comply. The opera tives allege that they have received no wages for the months of April and May, and Monday morning waited upon the superintendent to demand their wages. Being met with refusal, and also with the statement that he could not tell def initely when they would receive their pay, the operatives struck and the mill was closed. The employees are firm and say they will not return to work until they are paid. Treasurer I. G. Baker, said Wednesday afternoon that the strike was surprise to him, and most certainly an ill-advised act, for Tuesday arrangements had been made to pay the help, but that the result of the move had been to com plicate the financial affairs of the concern. The company had not failed, and it is hoped 1t will soon make satisfactorily ad- justments and resume operations. It is a noticeable fact that through long period of hard times for woolen manufact- urers the Excelsior company has run without interruption, much of the time employing night force.

The following from the Meriden Jour nal of April 27th questions the truth oi the reports sent out in regard to MT. Hicks divorce, and says that MT. Hicks side has not been given to the public. Ii Is rumored that Lynde Harrison's fee 1T the Hicks divorce case was the largest fee ever paid in any divorce proceedings in Connecticut; while the alimony really paid to the plaintiff was not $40, ,000, but a much smaller sum. It would seem MT Hicks found it cheaper to settle than te fight, while his friends claim he haG abundant evidence to disprove of every charge:
 Many man has tried to get the best oi Radcliffe Hicks, but found it an unproflt- able task. See what slick job the sweet western widow made of it By the way, in forming opinions about this case, it is we'll to remember that MT. Hicks side has not yet been given to the public. From the beginning he has maintained absolute silence, and said not a word against the woman or in defense of him. self Perhaps it was because he had nothing to offer in justification, and again perhaps there are better reasons why he remained quiet. Of course, on the face of 1t, he Is all wrong and the woman is all right-with clear decree and big ali mony in her favor. This m-ch we in Meriden know of MT. Hicks-he was nev- CT a drinking man here, and the last per son in the world who would be suspected of striking a woman. He may have changed with the years, but many friends in town find it hard to believe it.

The Willimantic linen company Is to be sold to a syndicate, and the citizens of Willimantic are discussing at present whether it will be better or worse for that city. The company at present employs about 1 300 hands. The general feeling Is that no syndicate, however much mon ey it had, would bury nearly $3,5O0, 900 simply to get rival concern out of the way, as that is practically what the price paid for the stock and the debt assumed aggregate. There is probably no better plant for the manufacture of thread in the country. The works are new and have been kept in thorough repair. The price to be paid is said to be $31.25 per share. Par value of stock is $25.

Hartford Courant: It is known that the syndicate which is negotiating for the purchase of the Willimantic Linen Com pan, 2 stock is also making overtures for the purchase of the Gardiner Hall Con- pany thread works at South Wilmington, which also includes the B. HI. Hall plant at North Windham. The National Thread Company's mills at Mansfield Hollow are also on the slate for purchase. Repre- sentative w. H. Hall, of Wilmington, was seen by The Courant reporter Monday, and said that an effort was being made to purchase the plant, but as they felt now about the matter they should not sell. He said they had good plant and could make thread as cheaply as any other con cern, and they had no fear but they could sell their product in competition with goods of any other concern. Regarding the National Thread Company, from the best information obtainable, there is probability that the syndicate will be able to effect purchase. This is small concern, but very prosperous, and its stock cannot be had at much less than $1OO, par $25.
