The many friends of Mrs. Alice Lillian
Stansfield will be panied to learn of her
death, which occurred on Saturday at 80,
at the home of her mother, Mrs. G. f.
Sturtevant, on Flagg street. 1t always
seems peculiarly sad to see one at the age
of Mrs. Stansfield, right in the prime of
Young womsnhood, when life is supposed to
be the brightest, hoping for the best, cheer
full, happy, contented, stricken down as she
has been by that dread disease consump-
ton. 1t seems but year ago that we saw
her surrounded by friends, in the home
where she has died, united in marriage to
Mr.. Charles Stansfeld, and went forth a
happy bride to her new home in Boston.
Surely in the midst of life we are in death.
For the past few months she has been
constant sufferer, but she has been patient
aud exhibited great deal of courage and
fortitude. Everything has been done that
could be done. Loving friends have been
10 attendance by her bedside; have brought
fsvors and delicacies which has smoothed
the pathway to the grave.
AT last the thread has broken-her head was
lowered
| Life dropped the distaf through his hands
serene,
And living nelghbors smoothed her careful
| shroud.
| While death a. last has Closed the scene"
The funeral will take place from her
home on Flagg street on Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock. "a.

"Rab, "the valuable thoroughbred pointer
owned by J. Frank Pierce, died Saturday
night from shot fired by some miscreant.
The dog was shot in the morning near the
Augusta House and Mr.. Pierce thinks he
knows who did it. He will ascertain just
who it was that was guilty of the COW ardly
act. There could not be the slightest ex-
cuse for shooting the dog for he was never
known to be cross. Mr.. Pierce had been
offered $500 for him, but would not have
parted with him for any consideration, as
he was the pet of the family. Almost
everyone in the city knew and liked "Rab,'
and there is much Indignation over the
shooting.

INDIANS AS SLAVES.
DR.. Bernard g Steinor's Historical Pa
per Ay3ut Connecticut.

DR. Bernard C. Steiner, librarian Of
the Enoch Pratt Free library, in Bal
timore, has completed a monograph on
Slavery in Connecticut" which will
be published in the John Hopkins
university studies in historical and
political science.
Among the interesting facts in the
work Is the statement that the first
slaves in Connecticut were not ne
groes, but Indians being of the Pc
quot tribe, which was overthrown by
the settlers in 1888. The first law
against the slave trade, too, was
passed in 1715 against the importation
of the Tuscarora Indians, who had
been captured by the Carolinians in
war. The first idea of slavery in Con-
necticut was then that captives in war
were slaves Sooa after the founda-
ton of the colony negroes were intro
duced, few at time, chiefly from
the West Indies and not from Africa.
They were owned for the most part
as household servants, and the Con-
necticut notion of slavery was the
paIriarchal one, that slaves belonging
to the family of the master differed
from apprentices only In being bound
to service for life.
Slavery was tolerated erywhere in
Connecticut throughout the colonial
period, but with the coming of the
revolution came the idea that it was
unrighteous to hold men in bondage
This feeling le1 to the act of 1874, pro
hibiting the foreign slave trade, and
that of 1884, providing that all there
after born as slaves should be free on
reaching their twenty fifth year.
This age was afterward lessened to
2L Connecticut Is remarkably as be-
ing state which succeeded in gradua!
Emancipation. When slavery was fin
ally abolished there, In 1S4s, fewer
than twenty slaves were in the state,
4one of whom were under Ga years 0f
