 Slater Mills Already Up.
 At Jewett City, as far as could be learned. no increase has, been an nounced. In the Slater mill it is un- derstood that an increase is not likely owing to the fact that the employees are receiving highCl wages than in other mills 1t was stated by Super intendent Ballou that when the 10 per cent. cut was made in the other mills three years ago the Slater mills continued the wages of their em- ployes without the cut and they have continued them at that figure ever since, so that their employees are re ceiving, and have been for three years, the same wages which will be secured by other mills if 10 per cent. increase is granted.
 Windham County Mills.
 Announcement of a readjustment of wage scale affecting approximately 1,600 cotton mill operatives in the towns of Killingly and Plainfeld was made Friday night. The advance be- comes effective Monday. April l, but just how much it will be has not been decided, although il will probably be from to 10 per cent. on the present scale. The mills that have posted mo- tices relative to the change are the Quinebaug at DanielsOn, Wauregan at Wauregan and the Attawaugan com pany at Attawaugan BallOuville and Pineville. WhileTptheE cotton mills in Plainneld, Putnam and other Wind ham county towns are not recorded as having granted an advance as yet the feeling is in mill circles that the ad- vance will be general in the mills all along the Quinebaug valley and other notices to this effect are expected within a few days. The operatives ir the mills mentioned are elated at the ' prospect of higher wages.

Prof. Tubbs Present and Led the Band
 -Chowder Served.

-Chowder Served.
 With an attendance of about 45, Mu- sicians' union, local No. 235, enjoyed a delightful smoker on Friday evening in Pythian hall. The programme provided by the committee in charge, consisting of James T. Woods, W. R. Stevens and W. w. Lang, was just what suited the musical fellows, spending the first part of the evening in music by the full band, then reSaling themselves with a delicious MacDougaI oyster chowder, and again taking up their instruments for a programme by the orchestra,
 As on every similar gathering of the musicians for years past, Prof. Charles w. Tubbs (OId Hundred) was an hon ored guest, and the hit of the evening came when the boys put him in his old place as leader of the band. With the music all placed on their racks for the selection to be played, he swung the baton for them to begin, when, by a l prearranged understanding, they broke into the opening strains of ''Old Hun dred," the hymn from which the pro- lessor is nicknamed. It was an over ! whelming surprise but an acceptable i one to the professor. emphasizing to i him the place that he has in the hearts of his fellow musicians of the city.

storming through Virginia. 1t was at
Petersburg. and the play was 'The
Chimney Corner" All through the au-
dience sat in distressing silence. nei-
ther laughing nor shedding a tear. al
though 1.-The Chimney Corner abounds
with humor and pathos. and the COM
pany then producing it was of great
merit for those times. Couldock ap-
pe4ted to pay no attention to the apa-
thy of his audience until just at the
close Of the performance. The con-
cluding lines of the play are somewhat
to this effect: You, John. are happy.
and so are you. Ellen; so am l. and so
are we all. Let us hope that our
friends. the public. share our happi-
ness" But. to the surprise Of every
body. Couldock fell into a towering
passion when he reached these lines.
and in laundering tones he said:

The Cuban Election.


It in but natural that In the midst ct
our own presidential election We should
have taken little note Of that hes6
about the same time In Cuba, but there
are some features of the result with
our island ncighbor that should cause
us qualification. For u thing, It was
the first presidential election held In
Cuba without the presence Of Amerd-
ear troops. That the young republic
should lie able to choose her rulers,
without serious disorders and without
assistance from IL Is a hopeful sign.
For another thing. the new president
elect, Mario Menocal. Immediately aft
err his election sem a note of apprecia-
tion and good will to the American
people that promises we'll for contin-
ued friendly relations between the two
countries.
From our viewpoint Cuba certainly
should bc grateful to US for q part
In freeing her from the Spanish yoke
and for our forbearance in refratning
from Selling her, as almost any other
nation on earth would have done. This
gratitude General Menocal expresses.
1t has been hard for the average
American to understand the i'll will ex-
pressed toward us by certain Of the
Latin American republics. Whether
this is due to mere Jealousy Of our
size or proceeds from an unfOundcd
fear of our intentions. 1t is alike un-
fortunate. Our action in Cuba should
reassure these misguided people. They
likewise owe us n debt of gratitude.
It was under our influence and pro-
lection that they We're enabled to gain
freedom and maintain it. The Monroe
doctrine has been their shelter from
the entire world. The Panama canal
will be as great a blessing to many OF
them as to us. They modelled their
governments after ours, they are learn
ing the laws Of health from us. and in
return for all this we ask but their
friendship. We have no designs ON
their territory. rs we have already
shown in the case of Cuba. Better re-
lations between all the American re-
publics should be a goal sought BY
them and by us.

great satisfaction in knowing that the
gate will he IL m to shut itself and re-
quire no further thought. But there Is
n difficulty which no doubt occurs to
the readers mind. Will not the wind
blow it open and let stock into the
cornfields? Yes. 1t will. And that Is
the point Of this letter.
One of the gates has a woodland to
protect it from such an occurrence.
Only a very severe wind from the east
will affect it in the least. Only since
q strip was cut through for a telephone
line has such a thing occurred at all.
The other one. however, is easily at
fected by a wind from the west. a
body of woodland of very dense
growth DETECTING ven a north wind
against it. But we have solved even
that problem with what we call a
wind latch.
A piece of inch board 6 by II inches
IL trimmed to almost a feather at one
end. A three-eighths inch hole is bored
edgewise near the other end. A seven
inch spike is put through and driven
an inch into the post against which
the gate strikes, near the top of the
post, on the outside, so 1t hangs down
clear Of the barb wires Of which the
fence is made.
A piece of heavy wire three inches
long is driven sidewtse and on the
west side. near the top Of this board.
or "wing," as we call 1t. A ring. or
loop, is turned in the free end. from
which a smaller wire extends down
ward to near the middle Of the gate.
where it connects with the latch
proper.
This is a small rod. the size Of a six
penny nail. and 1t passes through Il
three-eighths inch hole. bored down
grain through a six inch board: The
west. end fs5 Sent sdt1r1s totthee north.
Ggrff..tthee wire fromathe wing iaSsconnect-
ed with it. The eastern end Is bent
directly downward. Now. when the
wind blows hard enough to cause the
gate to open 1T will raise the wing.
and that will throw the eastern end of
this rod so as to catch the gate.
Like nearly all our gates. this n is
swung to a tree. with the upper hinge
nine feet from the ground. The wind
often causes this tree to sway back
and forth. but this latch always
catches the gate in spite Of such.
