BECAME EXILE FOR WOMAN.
Romance Entered Late Into Life OF
Henry L. Clapp.

NEW YORK, May 13.-Henry l.. Clapp,
former New York city business man, whose
death at his home on the Island or Malta
was announced Saturday, reversed the
usual conditions Of life.
His youth and early manhood were pro-
sale, but in his old age his life was roman
tic. He disappeared mysteriously from
America, married wealthy and handsome
woman he had met under romantic condi-
tons and spent the last twenty years of his
life on the island in the Mediterranean. The
last two years of his life were devoted to
planning a hospital he intended to build at
Malta, to be run on American principles.
For twenty years prior to 1854 MI. Clapp
had been a prominent figure in New York
CITY, He was a member of clubs, director
of the United States Life Insurance Com
pany and manager of the New YORK city
offices of the Fairbanks Scale Company
One day during that year he suddenly dis
appeared. -
Gov. Fairbanks of Vermont, who was his
brother-in-law, came to New YORK to search
for him. No trace was found until cable
message was received from Mr.. Clapp at
Hamburg. He announced that he had gone
away for his health. Six weeks later he
returned, cashed large check at his bank
and once more left America. He went to
Malta, and for seventeen years nothing
more was heard from him.
When the American friends OF Mr.. Clapp
again heard from him he was married for
the second time. His wife was the widow

RICHEST INDIAN ON WARPATH.
Enraged by Failure to Get "Fire-
water" He Stirs Up Things.

TULSA, Ind. Ter, May 13.-Disappointed
over his failure to buy :firewater'' and en-
ragged because his monthly income had not
increased in proportion to the advance in
the price of crude oil, former chief of the
Osages. Push me-ta-ha, tore up and scat
tered to the winds more than 81 600 in new
bank notes the other day on the streets
of this city.
This Croesus of the Usage tribe, who is
rated at 100000 In his own right, is be-
leved to be the richest Indian in the world
today. His monthly income from Oil and
gas royalties alone exceeds $50, COO He
handles the estate of his entire family,
children, whose combined wealth, at the
present price of crude Oil, is said to be at
least S10,0OO,0O0
The old chief lives in a miserable log hut,
about eighteen miles from here, in the
rock-ribbed hills Of the Usage nation, and
his house resembles a barn rather than
place of human habitation.
He rarely visits white settlement and
when "bootleggers' cannot be found he
becomes enraged and threatens dire VEN
gence against the white. race. His threats,
however, mean nothing for he is too lazy
to make an effort toward white persons.
His own sons declare him harmless, and
say that since oil and gas have been dis
covered on their lands and great riches
have come to the family the chief Is
growing cross, except when whisky Is at
hand
Every member of the Usage tribe, con-
sisting of about 1000, is worth $4,000.
Those who were fortunate in selecting
their lands along the ninety-sixth meridian,
In the midcontinent oilfeld, are immensely
wealthy.

New York UNDERGROUND.

NEW YORK, May Backward Johnson,
president of the Peoples Trust Company,
Isl Montague street, Brooklyn, died on a
southbound subway express train just be-
fore it reached the Brooklyn bridge sta
ton shortly after o'clock last night. Mr.

after the train pulled out of the 42d street
station. The train was rushed at top
speed to the bridge station and two ply
scians worked over him on the way He
died after the train had passed 14th street.
MIR. Johnson left his home, sos Carroll

where he might go. The next they heard
was telephone message telling of his
sudden death.
DIR. F. E. Caldwell of 119 Henry street,
Brooklyn, boarded the express train at the
I'D street station. Soon after the train
left the Grand Central he noticed a COM
motion in the car ahead, the second car of
the train, and word was passed back that
a man was very i'll. The physician had to
fight his way into the Car, as many of the
passengers were crowding to the rear car
through the narrow door.
DR.. Caldwell found an elderly woman,
who said she was a physician, working
over a large man. who was stretched out on
one of the side seats. The man had been
sitting in side seat when he had collapsed
and fallen over against two women sitting
next to him. The women were frightened
and had rushed to the rear car Dr. Cald-
well did all he could to revive the suf-
ferer. Conductor Bundstein ordered Motor
man Lyons to put on full speed and the
train reached the bridge in record time.
When the bridge station was reached the
woman who said she was a physician went
away without leaving her name.
The police at the Brooklyn bridge booth
were notified and Policemen Dorsey and
Mallahan hurried down with a stretcher
The body was carried to the emergency
hospital on the bridge. DR.. Stewart of
Hudson Street Hospital was called Both
he and DR.. Caldwell said apoplexy was the
probable cause of death. search of the
dead mans pockets disclosed many papers

HOME RULE FOR CHICAGO.
Passes New and Up-to-
Date Charter for City.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 13.-After a
four months session the Illinois legislature
spent all Saturday night in finally passing
a new charter for Chicago and adjourned at
daybreak until next Wednesday, when Gov
Deneen's deep waterway bills will be taken
up; but the work Of the forty-flfth general
assembly virtually ceased with Sunday
mornings adjournment.
The last and probably most important
work OF the assembly was to grant a met
ropolitan charter to Chicago, to replace the
old one that has been patched up from time
to time in an effort to make the village
grant fit city of some 100000 inhab-
itants. The new charter gives Chicago al
most unlimited home rule. The new city
council will consist of fifty members, one
to be elected from each ward to serve four
years There are now thirty-five wards
and each ward has two aldermen, one
elected every other year. Aldermen will
receive 50, 500 a year instead of 81 500, as
now.
The Chicago park system, now under con-
troll of three commissioners appointed by
the governor will be under one commission
Of nine members appointed by the mayor.
The borrowing power of the city is in
of taxable property. In brief, the new char
ter will place Chicago in the position of
state under the suzeraincy of Illinois.
Chicago drew another prize from the state
assembly In the passage of series OF
measures embracing an elaborate extension
of the Chicago park and boulevard system,
by which nearly the whole lake front OF
