Slaves in Connecticut.

The number of slaves in Connecticut
when the first census was taken were
2,64S, worth on an average d little
over $112 each. Some have estimated
this price was considerable too low. or
averaging about $3.50 to 5000 each.
From the time the above figures were
taken. Connecticut had something over
two-thirds as many as We're in New
England, for Maine, Vermont and Mas
sachusetts had none. In 1890 there
were only nine weekly newspapers
printed in Connecticut. The same year
Connecticuts number of males per
thousand was 495. and strange to say
so years after. the same number. and
also in 1900 500 to the 1000 persons.

insurance.

building was such th2T it burned
ffercely and soon the fl l,was COM

which was also destroyed. This build
ing was filed with finished stock all
excepting a small portion of which was

Judge Carl Foster, presiding in this
city court last week, announced himself
as heartily in favor of sending boys to
the George Junior Republic home for
boys when he postponed sentence on
Louis Dombrousky and gave the young
lad. who was arrested for stealing milk
from Samuel FACETS store on Steuben
street, an opportunity to go to the
home.
Judge Foster stated after court that
he believed that the home would be g.
good place for the boy and that Dom
brousky was just the lad that the
home was looking for. In the mean
while he continued the case and the
boy will probably be sent to the home

SAMPLE BALLOTS
To Be Furnished Voters Who Are
Timid About Australian Innovation.


Those voters of the town of Killing
~ who have been worrying about their
ability to readily understand the use
of the new Australian ballot may queli
their fears S sample ballots are to be
supplied to any of the voters who want
them before election time in October
They will get them in ample time to
acquire a knowledge of their proper
use and will probably find them as sat
isfactory. if not more SO, than the old
style ballots.
There is still some question, however,
as to whether the license vote shall be
taken under the old or new method
At present the opinion here seems to be
that the old method will be used,
which means that the votes on this
question will be enclosed in the little
yellow envelopes and deposited in a
separate box.
The uss of the new ballot will re-
quire of the voter that he know how
to fold it correctly-in such way
that the number on the coupon (Which
is attached to the ballot) may be read
lily seen by the box tender. If the
ballot is not properly folded the voter
will be sent back to fold it properly
before he can deposit it in the box.
The value of these numbered coupons
aside from the printed information
marking the ballot is that they will
allow Of quick accounting of the num-
Der of ballots cast.
The ballots that are to be furnished
as samples for study are pink, while
those that will be used at election time
are to be white.
Caucuses to Be Held.
Killingly, Plainfeld, Brooklyn, Pom
fret, Eastford and Thompson are the

will be held today Thursday and Fri

lican gatherings. Eastford republicans
will meet Saturday and those of Pom

this method has eliminated any posi-

six candidates, only five of whom can
be elected there should be a lively
struggle for place. The board of Sc
