The work is to be an addendum to
the study I made last year in the CHI
mate of Yucatan, where I found ev1-
dences of actual change in climate,
which has been described for the past
1900 years in my unpublished book
,overing the trip Professor Hunt
icgtonis route to the scene of his work
will be New Orleans, BARRON and
Guatemala.

Latest of Four Cases of Smallpox in
State Reported.

Hartford, March Andrew P
ConIin of this city, a mail clerk run
ming on through trains of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road, and recently between New Ha-
ven and New York, was taken to the
pest house at the city hall Sunday
evening, suffering with smallpox in a
well developed and pronounced form.
Serious consequences are feared by
the health authorities as a result of
this second case to be reported in this
city within the past six weeks. Con-
lin had worked regularly until the day
he was taken i'll, and during the. time
when the smallpox had actually brok-
en- out on his body he had probably
handled tens of thousands of letters
and other pieces of mail matter, there
by rendering every article he handled
liable to spread the infection.
South Manchester, March ed
ward v. Harrington is ill at his home
in Oakland in the town of Manchester
of what has been diagnosed as small
pox. The house has been quarantined-

UNIFORM DEALER WANTS
POLICE DEPT. CONTRACT

Keen rivalry over the supplying of
new uniforms, both for the old MEM
bers of the regular force as well as
special officers and the men to be
newly appointed is predicted by the
active interest which is already being
taken both by local as well as out
side firms. Uniform-makers who
have never been attracted to Bridge
port are calling at the Local station
in person, displaying modern uniforms
as adopted by the various cities and
solicitous of submitting estimates and
bids for the department work.
1t is not yet fully known whether
a new uniform is likely to be adopted
here, although recent changes in the
New York clothing, after which the
local force is patterned are known to
have been accepted.
1t is believed that an effort may be
made by large manufacturers this
year to have the work contracted by
lowest bidder. Heretofore policemen
have been permitted to purchase from
any reputable dealer who could fur
nish standard style and grade.
