LOCKED IN THE MONUMENT.
Two Sightseers at the Top of East Rock
 Yesterday

Two Sightseers al the Top of East Rock
 Yesterday.
 Two men who refused to disclose their identity were locked in East Rock monument yesterday afternoon. and they remained there for about two hours. They stuck their heads out of one of the windows at the top of the monument and after yelling their voices almost out they were heard by some body at the foot of the Rock, who got word to the Grand avenue police sta ton.
 The men were rescued from their pe- culiar place of imprisonment by Assist ant Superintendent of the Park Me- Grath. It seems that the time for clos ing the doors of the monument is 5:30, and Assistant Superintendent McGratb is the man who sees that the monu- ment Is closed at that time. Yesterday afternoon as usual he went his rounds, and, thinking there was no one in the place, closed the doors and went his way. When the two men went to leave they were surprised to find themselves shut in. There was no way of ge9tng out, so the best thing to do was to make themselves heard. This they did successfully Darkness had nearly set in before they were rescued.

OBITUARY NOTES.
Denth of Ex.PoIice Commissioner John
 Clancey.

John Clancey, one of the best knowr
 citizens of this city, died yesterday
 morning at 2:15 of cirrhosis of the liver
 from which he has been suffering for
 a year past During his illness he was
 attended by Dr. Bissell, who was a
 captain in the same regiment with Mr.
 Clancy during the civil war. The news of MT. Clancey's death will be re-
 ceived with sadness by his large circle
 of friends.
 The funeral will be held from the
 Church of the Sacred Heart, Thursday
 morning at 9:30 o'clock, when requiem high mass will be celebrated.
 John Clancey was born in County
 Tipperary Ireland, in 1S45. When six months old, his mother came with her little family to join her husband in this city, Her husband came short time before.
 1 He received his schooling in the Eaton and Hamilton schools. When but fif- teen years old he went to work to earn l his own living, with H. H. Olds, the baker. When but eighteen years old he enlisted in the First Connecticut caval- ry and served with that body until August 2, 1865, when he was discharged at Washington at the close of the war. In June, 1866, he went to Canada on the Fenian raid. 'On his return he went to work for his old employer driving a baker wagon.
 Two years later he. went to work for Mrs. Everett, in the soda business. In 1870 he bought out Captain McCarten and went into the soda business, which he has continued in up to his death.
 MT. Clancey has always been an &C., tive democrat and was recognized as one of the leaders and also as one of the hardest fighters in the party. He represented the Fourth ward in the board of aldermen in 1882 and 1883 and in 1887 and 1888. He was member of the board of police commissioners from 1887 to 1889, and was reelected in 1892. Since his retirement he had been quietly a power in politics all though he would not take office him self.
 MT. Clancy was captain of the old Emmet guard, a military organization of local fame and many pleasant oc- currences marked the career of the company during his term of office As a business man he was successful and by his generosity and honesty made and kept many friends. In addition to many narrow escapes from death in the war and in Canada he had one ex- perience that would have laid a less athletic man low twenty years ago.
 It was on Sunday excursion from this city to New York that at the lat ter city on the return trip a party of New York toughs got aboard. MT Clancy was selling soda water and other soft drinks on the upper deck of the steamer and taking in considerable money When off Stamford the gang of toughs surrounded him and pitched him overheard so that they could get the money in the cash drawer Nobody on the boat except the gang knew of the occurrence and he was not missed un- til the boat reached this city. MT. | Clancy swan for six hours until Providence boat picked him up and took him to that city. The attempt at the time created considerable of stir and |

 An elephant keeper of note. who seems to possess no other name than that of Badger, is certain that the elephant IS an arrant coward so long as his anger Is nQt aroused.

And anger, which are always indicated In plen- ty of time by the appearance of damp spots above the eyes.

Badger knows the meaning of this and his careless indifference Is super seded by the greatest precaution He be- comes alert and cautious for be it known that nine out of every ten elephentine fatal ities have been accomplished through the treachery of the beast, the death blow com ing at moment when least expected.

 He leaves a widow and two children, James J. Clancey and Mrs. Margaret Lefebre, besides two step children.
 He was one of the founders of the old Monticello club and was a member of Admiral Foote post, Knight of St. Patrick and the Catholic club. This latter organization met last night at 8 o'clock and took action regarding his death and funeral.

Mortal Maladies.

The census of 1900 affords some in
teresting statistics on the subject of
mortal diseases. Pneumonia now leads
the list; in 1890 it was consumption,
which now stands second. The third in
the line of danger is heart disease; then
follow twelve other principal causes OF
death: Diarrhoeal diseases. kidney dis
ease, apoplexy, cancer, old age. bron-
chltis, cholera infantum, debility, in
fiammation Of brain and meningitis.
diphtheria. typhoid, premature birth
Consumption shows a decrease of
"a 80 per 101 900 deaths since 1890, and
1t is probable that this is due to the
stubborn and versatile fight which
physicians and health authorities have
made against it. The increasing habit
of out of door exercise among women
has also in all probability something to
do with this, and perhaps the decrease
may be taken as sign that the Amer
lean people, as a whole, are growing
physically stronger as time goes on,
since this is disease which is more or
less due to lack of vitality and general
strength.
1t is gratifying to see that smallpox
is not on the list at all, as 1t most as
suredly would have been seventy-five
years ago. Vaccination, strict quaran-
tine, and carefulness in the care of this
disease have removed it from the list OF
ordinary perils. and there is good hope
that in time consumption may also be a
danger of the past. In the last fifty
years there has not been such a yellow
fever eridemic in the South as swept
over il in antebellum days. 1t really
begins to look as if disease were less a
visitation Of providence and more ca
lamity due to mans ignorance and
carelessness than any old-time theclo-
gian would have believed.
Science has made such progress that
the physician who attends a case Of
contagious disease today is less in dan
ger of contracting it than the man in
the street was in past generations. The
greatest need at present is an aroused
conscience on the part of the people
what might be called a sanitary con-
science. They need to take enlightened
care OF themselves so as to avoid the
weak and debilitated condition Of mind
and body which invites disease. A sane
mind in a sound body can throw off dis
ease where a weaker one must sue
cumb A great gain has been made in
