CONTRACT FOR LIGHT and POWER.
Uncas Power Co. will Furnish Willmantc and Stat
ford St. Railway Co. for Use in Wiimantic, Stafford

The Uncas Power company of this
city put through an important deal
last week when it secured a contract
with the Willimantic and Stafford
Street Railway company to furnish
electricity to them from the Scotland
power station for a period of five years.
The electricity with be distributed be-
tween Willimantic, Stafford and Rock
vile, so that the company which is
now furnishing Norwich with it's elec-
tricity will be the source Of the cur
rent for large section Of eastern Con-
necticut. This electricity win not be
for the operation of the trolley lines.
but will simply be for light and power.
privilege to furnish such in the towns
through which 1t goes.
The Uncas Power company by this
contract will be turning into money
that which is going to waste at the
present time. 1t will in no way affect
the contract with the city of Norwich.
which has first call upon all the cleo
tricity the plant can produce. The con-
tract just made is so drawn that IL is
subordinate to the city of Norwich, so
that If the city at any time wants all
the current II can have 1t regardless
of the other contract. 1t Is figured,
however, that It will be some time be-
fore the city VIII increase It's demands
so that the surplus which the company
will hold will be fully drawn upon. In
asmuch as the current will not be fur
nished for operating the electric lines,
all will be harmonious at the plant. as
the current will be steady and that
which they have just contracted for Is
now going to waste.
There is no option for a renewal at
the end Of five years, and the Uncas
company will not endeavor to make
any further contracts for current. The

Dickson Leavens Tells Of Its Work and
Possibilities-Wil Go There in Fall.

At the Young Peoples Union meet

China where he Will be a teacher IN
the Yale Mission college, addressed
the meeting on the wonderful work
that college is destined TO do in the
upbuflding OF China He said that
there was a time when China spurned
education, but now the people arc
eager for II and are sending their
young men to other countries to get
fit. There were LOO In japan last
year and 400 are In this country. There
is no doubt about their getting edu-
cation. but the idea is to give them
education not only to make them in
tellectually better, but at the same
time 10 build up their character. Mis-
sionaries have had hard time In
China, but now Is an opportunity for
them and 1t lies in education.
Three Yale seniors in 1900 concelv-
ed the idea Of 4orking together in the
mission field and selected Chan Sha
stragetic point, where the school
now Is being conducted and the Chi
nese are eager TO attend.
The work at the college is increas-
ing, higher branches are being taken
up and each year a new teacher is
being added to the force and in all
departments It is growing and doing a
grand work.

railway company expects to be able to
take the current by the first of July,
but by the contract they agree to take
1t and pay for 1t after the first of Octo-
Der whether the line is completed or
not. The power company figures that
it will have a reserve of about one
third it's capacity, with both the city
and the railway company carrying
their loads, the amount taken by each
being approximately the same.
The new contract differs from the
one made with the city of Norwich in
asmuch as the railway company takes
the electricity from the power station
and stands the loss in transmission,
while in the local case the power COM
pany built its own pole line and de-
livers the current at the local electric
plant and thereby stands the loss In
transmission.
An examination of the power plant
was made for the purpose of determin-
ing the capacity of the contracting
company. and those who made it were
fully satisfied that the power company
has plenty of current to carry out the
contract, although it is fully realized
that the contract is subject TO the prior
rights and PRIVILEGES of the city Of
Norwich at all times and that they
have no claim upon it If the city wants
it ALL
The contracting company is at work
getting the right Of way for its pole
line from the Uncas Power company's
dam to Stafford, going through Will

and Stafford, and at that place there
viii be a connection with Rockville,
so that electricity will be furnished to
all those towns, the one company hav-
ing the right to sell the electricity for

important change for Windham and

FEE OF $4,000.
Considered One of the Largest Paid
in This State-ReceiVed by Late F..
T. Brown.

A gentleman from New London
county, who is connected with a state
department, was in conversation with
a few friends in the capitol the other
day, says the Hartford Times, when
the conversation turned on the ques-
ton of the size Of fees paid to law
yers. The gentleman said that 1t was
the opinion among the lawyers of New
London county that the late Frank T.
Brown Of Norwich, whose death was a
loss to the state received the largest
fee ever paid to a lawyer in that
county. The fee amounted to $4,000.
He told the circumstances of the pay
ment of the fee. Mr.. Brown was re-
tanned by a man to recover a claim
amounting to 100000. The recovery
of it was a forlorn hope, and the man.
who lives in another state, did not
think it would be recovered. Mr..
Brown obtained judgment for the full
amount. The client, in his gratitude,
sent Mr.. Brown a check for $4,000.
Mr.. Brown returned the check and
suggested that he had made a mistake,
as his fee was not nearly so large as
that The client sent it back to Mr..
Brown and said, in his letter, that if
Mr.. Brown was satisfied with the
