Mrs. j. S. Clapp.

Mrs. Adelaide c. Gleason, wife OF
Julius S. Clapp of Paris, was suddenly
called away by death Thursday, Oct. p
after a brief illness of less than foui
days. She commenced her earthly
career Sixty-eight years ago in Man,
chester, Conn. In early life she married
and until thirty-two years ago, she with
her husband lived in Windsor, Conn.,,
when they came TO Brunswick, Me-,
where Mr.. Clapp remained five years
engaged in manufacturing. Twenty.
seven years ago she with her family
came to Paris, where she has since re-
sided.
From early life Mrs. Clapp was mem
Der of the Methodist church, and was a
most estimable lady in every respect,
intelligent in her faith, cultivated in her
manner, amiable in her disposition. She
gathered around her, in every place
where she resided, large circle of adj
miring friends. So far as circumstances
would permit she was active in Christian
work. She was faithful and cordial in
all her relation to her family as wife and
mother, and also in her church and
social duties.
She will be greatly missed and mourn
ed, not only in her home and family, but
also by large class of appreciative
friends.
Her last illness was brief. For year
past she has not been in her usual good
health. 1t was seen that her vital force
was not Kept up. She had frequent at
tacks of lesser sickness.
On Monday, last, she was stricken with
pneumonia, and passed peacefully away
at one o'clock on Thursday last. Brief
funeral services were held Saturday
morning in her late residence by her
pastor, Rev. A. w. Pottle, after which
her body was conveyed to her birth
place, accompanied by her stricken
husband, where she was buried in the
family lot. Funeral services were held
at Manchester, Conn, on Sabbath after
noon, conducted by the Methodist pastor
of that place.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Clapp is
survived by four daughters, one OF
whom is Mrs. Charles S. Dudley of Paris
the other three being residents of Con
necticut.

Colby "Frat" Houses.

1t is probable that within a few
years several fraternity chapter houses
will be built at Colby. Several of the
fraternities there have good sized
building funds deposited that represent
the work of a number of years. Some
have even enough to build now if they
could have lots furnished them. Only
one SO far has made q start the
"Dekes" having secured possession of
a house on College avenue part of
which is now used by them.
One Colby man in talking the mat
ter over advanced the idea of having
the college furnish building lots on
the campus. He thought that there
would be room enough for this and
that the tasty buildings would be a
pleasing addition to the college prop
erty. He also thought that the money
secured for the new dormitory might
be used for other purposes if this We're
possible as with the chapter houses in
running order not so many rooms
would be needed for the boys and one
would probably be enough. He was
sure that the chapter houses would
come within a comparatively short
time and after they did not so much
dormitory room would be needed.

FINANCIALLY WEAKER.
The Falling off in Price of English
Consols Is Noticeable.

New York, April 16.-Sir Edgar Vim
cent, one of the ablest financial au-
-thorities in England, has, according to
London dispatch to the Tribune,
written a striking letter to the Times
pointing out the loss in British credit
as evidenced by the fall in consols. In
five years, Sir Edgar writes, consols
have fallen Il per cent, whereas the
largest fall in any foreign government
security is less than per cent. In
1899 the British government could raise
money at 2A per cent, but if war We're
to break out now it would have to pay
considerably over 3 per cent. for any
large amount. There has been no SIM
liar change in the financial ability of
France, Germany or Russia: therefore,
compared with those countries England
is financially weaker than she was.
