 occurred the death of Mrs. Nancy Col lins Fields, aged nearly 70 years. She had been an invalid since her twentieth year, but had always born her affiiction braveIy and patiently. Death is as- cribed to complication of diseases. Mrs. Fields was an everyday Christian. The beautifying influences of pure re- ligion were spread over life and char acter as sp0tless and charming as was ever possessed by any of the noble women who have lived and died during the ages that are gone. As such a life was blessing and benefaction to is the death of such 8 one public mis fortune, as well as an irreparable loss to the home circle made desolate by her de- parture. Mrs. Fields was a member of the Methodist church. Besides the hus- band, George w. Fields, the survivors are: Mrs. Samantha Oles, of Afford, Mass, a sister, and Allen NJ. Collins. of PittsfieId, Mass, a brother. The funeral

 While she had been sick for some time. the death of Mrs. Margaret Kane Dempsey, Monday morning, came sud denly and as great shock to her many friends. Deceased was forty-nine years of age and had resided in Canaan for thirty years. She was devout member of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church. Her death was due to a nervous break down.
 The funeral was held at ten o'clock Wednesday morning, with a requiem high mass at St. Joseph's Church. At the close of the services a long proces- sion followed the funeral car to the Ro. maR Catholic cemetery. At the open grave we say farewell. May Gods purest angels guard her slumbers.
 Besides the husband Frank Dempsey, Sr., Mrs. Dempsey leaves three sons, Frank, Jr., William and Matthew, one daughter. Miss Mabel, all of Canaan and four brothers, John and Micheal Kane, of Canaan, Thomas, of Hartford and Patrick, of Great Burlington, Mass, and two sisters. Mrs. Mary Banks, and Mrs Bridget Clarity, of Ireland.
 We can only remind these mourners that she is not dead, only aslsep-rest- ing after long and well spent life here; she cannot, and would not if she could return; they can, if they will go to her. Behind the storm clouds always turks the rainbow and when the storm is past it sweeps upon the flowers of the land and the pearls of the sea. Darkness precedes the dawning and out of the blackness of night comes the sunshine and joy of the day. And so from the beauty of her life take an inspiration and go forth to live as she lived, so that when the summons comes you may say as did she, "All is we'll"
 Railroad Depots Burglarized
 During Tuesday night the passenger stations of the N. Y, N. H. & H. rail- road at Sheffield and Ashley Falls, Mass, were entered, presumably by tramps, who secured small amounts of money and broke open some express packages, taking a very valuable coat from one of the bundles. It is thought that there were two men. At Sheffield prying up an office window. Once in- side, they pilfered the gum slot ma chimes. securing about SS cents in small change. They tore open an express package and took therefrom a suit of clothes belonging to Professor Calender, of Yole collage, who has a summer home ill Sheffield. The clothes were of black broadcloth and were valued at $S5. It take the clothes on foreign trip he is about to make. At Ashley Falls the de- pot was also entered bya window in the office. Here the gum machines were likewise knocked open and something like 8l cents was taken. Express bun dles were opened, but the contents evi- dently did not appeal to the robbers aesthetic taste, for nothing was missed by the express agent. The ticket case was opened and the tickets scattered broadcast on the floor, but none was stolen. The railroad people have no clew other than that two strange colored men were seen about Sheffield during the day before the thefts occurred. Canaan Man Weeds
