Slavery in New England.

A short time ago the Boston Tran
script printed this:
"Slavery in New England began soon
after the settlement of the country. In
1893 Pequot Indians were taken from
Massachusetts and sold in the West In
dies. The vessel returning brought a
cargo of cotton, tobacco and slaves.
Slaves were most numerous in New
England about the middle of the eigh-
tenth century. In 1754 there were
nearly 5000 negro slaves in the state
of Massachusetts. In 1870, in the Dec
laration of Rights, all men were de-
clared to be free and equal. In 1877! a
white man in Massachusetts, was in
dicted for beating and imprisoning a
black man. His defence was that this
was the necessary and lawful correc-
ton for a slave, for a slave could not
be held in subsection unless one could
punish him when ne went away or re-
fused to work. In 1873 the supreme
court of Massachusetts declared that
the defence was invalid. That put an
end to slavery in New England. Slaves
we're mostly household servants, kept
largely by rich people for purposes OF
display"
The contemporary has overlooked one
fact in the history of slavery in New
England that is noteworthy beyond
ANYTHING it has related in the forego-
ing, that is, that Vermont's constitu,
tion adopted in TIT contained the first
constitutional prohibition Of slavery in
the history of America. Messenger.

M@my Yachts Torn From Anchorage
 Shamrock In Danger.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-A terrible northwest wind and electrical storm struck Sandy Hook shortly after 5 Rance and fleet of half dozen fine yachts, including the Erin, c. Oliver isefih's Sunbeam and Herreshof's s Roamer, were in great danger for a time. The yacht Eureka, breaking from her anchorage, was blown vic hentfy against coal scow and carried Che scow before it It seemed for a Shamrock III, which lay almost in the path of the gale, not a hundred yards away.
 Reliance lay in position more out Of danger
 The moorings of Shamrock III. and Reliance held fast, though the wind threw their bows around into the face of the gale violently, and they rugged hard at their cables.
 Sir Thomas Lfpton left the Erin be- fore the storm broke and with Colonel Smith, Colonel Burbank and Colonel Stewart, commandant at Fort Hancock, viewed the havoc in the bay anxiously from the comnaandant.s headquarters on Sandy Hook.
 Lightning flashed from the inky black sky, and the wind came like a cyclanAc blast Weather observers here said 1t reached a velocity of nearly 45 knots. The ssa, calm all day, was boaAng furipusly in less than i've min Ufes after the gale struck.
 Tn half an hour after the storm broke in its fury the clouds cleared away from a sky brilliantly illuEnanated by the setting sun, and the wind died out as rapidly as 1t had comes It left a tnmultnous sea about Sandy Hook.

 OYSTER BAY, N. Y-, Aug. 26-Gen- eral Luke F. Wright of Memphis, Tenn, will succeed Judge Taft as gov ernor general of the Philippines when the latter becomes secretary of war next January in succession to E1ihu Root
 President Roosevelt has authorized the announcement that the post had been offered to General Wright and that he had accepted it.
 General Wright is now a member of the Philippine commission and vice governor of the islands. He Is life long Democrat
 President Roosevelt spoke in terms of high praise of General Wright's ability and fitness for the position of governor general. He entertafns a sin cere regard for him both personally and officially. Both the president and Secretary Root regard General Wright as a man of proved executive ability, his services as member of the Phil ippine commission having been of a distinguished character. During Gov ernor Taft's extended sojorn in this country General Wright was acting governor general, and his conduct of the office was a source of consratula- ton to the administration. General Wright is popular not only with Amer jeans in the Philippines, but also with the Filipinos, who hold him only sec ond in their estimation to Governor Taft
