HoNoRs TO MAYOR CLAPP.

Whereas, it has pleased God in his mysterious wisdom to remove from our midst HON STILMAN s. CLAPP, late Mayor of the City of Bridgeport; and
 Whereas, it is becoming and prop CT that the citizens of this city, of which he was the Chief Executive Magistrate, should have an opportun- ity of testifying their respect for his memory. and their high appreciation of his character as a man and a Christian; I, therefore, respectfully recommend that all places of busi- ness throughout the city be CLOSED ON FRIDAY, the 18th instant, from the hours of 2:3O o'clock to p. m., and that the bells of the various churches be toIled from to half-past three o'clock, and that those who shall have flags shall display them at ha1f-mast during the day.
 Given under my hand, at Bridge port. the 14th day of March, 1866.

tFWho is back of Villa in your opin- ion in the carrying out of this border warfare ?'' Manuel Ca1ero, former Mex tcan ambassador to the United States and former Mexican minister of fore ign affairs, was asked. He replied: ''I doubt if he has any backing of any kind beyond his own savage desire for what he considers the treatment ac-
 orded him by the government that un- til few months ago he considered his friend. It is aH,- my opinion, the rage of a sdesperado;1 a madman if you wish. You must remember that until about six months ago Villa considered himself the pet of the us. A. And then all of a sudden Villa was kicked out of his high place and once more found hinselfawhat he really is, just a. murderous bandit, who ought to be destroyed.' f\

TRAINING CAMP AT. GEORGIA TO
 OPEN APRIL 3
Prominent Men Will Drill And Exercise at Southern
 Military School.

New York, March 13-The names
 of some 200 men, many of them
 prominent in various walks of life,
 who have enrolled for the first South
 ern military training camp at Fort l Oglethorpe, Ga., next month, were given out today at Governors Island, the headquarters of the Department of the East. The encampment at Fort | Oglethorpe will be along the lines of the one held at PIattsburg, N. Y., last summer, which proved so successful 1 as to have apparently become an an- nual fixture. The Southern camp will open on April 8, and from then on till the 3Oth of June there will be three camps, each continuing for a month. A junior division will N1so encamp at Fort Oglethorpe from July 5 to August 8.
 Major-GeneraI Leonard Wood, com
 manding the Department of the East,
 will be present for a week or more at
 the opening of the camp, and will
 give it his personal attention through
 out. The commander will be Lieut.
 Col. Henry T. Allen, of the Eleventh
 United States Cavalry, who was re-
 gently on duty with the General Staff at Washington. The Iieutenant-co1onel
 was formerly military attache in Ber- lin and Petrograd; he was organizer of the Philippine Constabulary with
 
 was one of. the leaders of the first ex- petition to locate Mount Mckinley in Alaska. He is we'll known a polo player, a race rider, and hunter.
 !. Fort Oglethorpe is just across the border from Chattanooga, Tenn, and the site of the camp for the civilians will be on the famous battlefield of Chichamauga, not far from Lookout Mountain.
 Fort OgIethorpe is now garrisoned by the Eleventh United States Cav airy, and since the terrain is peculiarly suited for the purpose, special empha- sis will be placed on work in field ar tillery and cavalry. Men who are fa- miliar with horses will be permitted to enter directly into a special course in cavalry training throughout the period of camp. This fact has appealed strongly to southerners.
 The partial roster that was issued yesterday at Governors Island will be supplemented later possibly by other lists, but no attempt will be made to publish the entire enrolment, as it is anticipated it will be nearly as large as the camp at Plattsburg, last year. This first list includes: Connecticut Gibney, Robert A., Bridgeport; Far rand, Max, New Haven.

DEATH OF MAYOR CLAPP.

We regret to be obliged to announce the of Hon. S.. c. Clapp, Mayor of this city.s He expired at o'clock this morning. Hiss illness had been long and at times very severe;l and although, his condition, for a. number of days, has been. alarming, yet hopes were entertained until yester- day that he might rally and safely pass the critical period in his dis ease. But the hope proved delusive.

ACTION OF COUNCIL ON DEATH.

A special meeting of the common council was held this evening, in re- spect to the death of the late Mayor s. S. CIapp. Upon the Council be- ing called to order, Alderman flaw ley addressed the council as follows:
 "Gentlemen of the Counci1-It be- comes my painful duty to announce to you the death of our late most worthy Mayor, Hon. s. s. C1app. He died at o'clock this morning. It was my privilege to form his acquain- tance soon after he came to reside among us in 1859. I always found Eaim a perfect gentleman in his man aers. liberal in his feelings, benevolent Sn his actions and in every way a most excellent citizen. His loss will be severely felt, not only by his fam fly, and by the church of which he was an exemplary member, but by this body over which he so recently presided, and by the whole commun- tty. His funeral will take place Fri day afternoon. Whatever measures it may be proper for this Council to take, I trust will be readily adopted

TRAIN AND HORSE COLLIDE.

The flying express from New York that goes through this city at II o'clock hit and fatally injured a horse belonging to Thomas Reilly of Helen street. MT. Reilly, with other truckmen, were carting snow and dumping it into the harbor at the steamboat dock. He had just emptied his wagon and was putting in the ta1I- board when the express came along. The horse became frightened at the sound of the approaching train and he walked out onto the tracks. Be- fore he could be stopped he was struck by the locomotive. It is said that the animal will die in a day or two. MT. Reilly feels his loss keen 1y. He has no means to replace the horse,

THAT BET AGAIN. Editor of the Farmer:

In regard to the betting controver- sy, Messrs. Kenny and Graether de- sire Col. T. J. Murphy to state wheth- CT or not he or John Rei1ley would have taken their money if Peter Ma her had won. We have no doubt Murphy would have taken it, as it was his money that was up, and not John Rei1ley's, although the Morning Union excused Murphy and placed techni- calities underneath him to prevent him from getting hurt by his fall.
 We feel Justified in saying that in regard to honor and principle in sporting matters, with Messrs. Reilley and Murphy there is no choice.

LAWYERS BANQUET.

The Bridgeport Bar association held their 17th annual digest at the Atlantic hotel last evening, which if you do not ttcateh on,'' means the 17th annual banquet. They had a good bill of fare and a witty toast card. As reporters were invited to stay away, it is possible that the ora tory was not expected to be worth reporting. About fifty of the local attorneys took part. The new officers elected were: President, Rob ert B. DeForest; vice president, A. P. Beers; treasurer, J. w. Thompson; secretary, w. H. Kelsey; committee for next annual banquet, John w. Banks, F. W. Tracy, George B. Hill, A. M. Wooster and J. B. Klein.

SALOON KEEPERS SCORED.

At the early mass in Sacred Heart church yesterday, Father O'Brien, the pastor, paid his respects to all that class of saloon keepers who are con tinual1y defying the law by keeping their places open on Sundays. He said such men, who were always talk ing of their Catholic principles were in reality the worst foes of the church, and did the religion more harm than any other influence he knew. There was no mistaking the meaning of Father O'Brien's remarks and it brooded no good to the persons re- ferred to.

HEALTH NOTES.

This big city is dotted with piles Oh
stable refuse that will breed flies, I'M
less they are promptly removed. Back
wards are Uttered with the refuse OF
the home. Vacant lots are covered
with tin cans and cast off material or
every kind that have been tossed there
by thoughtless citizens during the long
winter months. In short, to be frank
about it, unsightliness strikes the eye
everywhere. Let US have a clean up
from Evanston on the North to the
Indiana state line on the south. Let
us make Chicago clean and let US keep
it clean. Let this coming summer be
a lyless summer: let it be a sum-
mer during which babies will live ana
thrive. rather than sicken and die.
This will mean work for all OF us;
not the few, but the many. Now Is tine

They read the advertisement, and they

value of fruits tending to promote
bodily health and vigor. Among the
many delicious table fruits, there is
none rank higher in dietetic value
perhaps than the orange. At this sea-
son of the year too, oranges are plenti-
full in quantity, good in quality and
reasonable in price. A great many car
.oads of these delicious fruits are
brought into Chicago every day and
consumed by Chicago people.
There are, however, many who do not
realize or understand the value of
fruits, served either raw or cooked, at
the family meals; especially are they
valuable for the morning meal. The
Department of Health wishes to recon-
mend at this time that people be lib
eral in their use of fruits. They have
a distinct health value and should form
place in every family's table bill of

Insect Life.

In a report to the Smithsonian inst-
tuition James auckland says few per
sons realize how enormous is the num-
Der Of insect species or how amazing
Is their power Of multiplication The
number of insect species Is greater by
far than that Of the species Of all 9TH
er living creatures combined. Although
100000 have been described, probably
twice that number remain to be exam
ined. Virtually all living animals, as
well as most plants, supply food for
these incompatible hordes. The fe-
cundity of certain insect forms Is as
founding. Professor Riley once COM
puted that the progeny Of the hop
aphis, which sees thirteen generations
born to it In a single year, would, If
unchecked to the end Of the twelfth
generation, multiply to the inconceiv-
able number Of ten sextillions Of indi-
viduals.

FEDERAL CONTROL URGED FOR
TUBERCULOSIS.
National Body Proposes Division OF
Tuberculosis in United States Public
Health Service.

PARTICIPATION of the Federal Govern
ment through the United States Public
Health Service in the study and control
of tuberculosis is urged by resolu-
ton adopted by The National Assocla-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis made public today.
The National Association proposes
that by act of Congress special d.
vision of tuberculosis be established IN
the United States Public Health Ser
vice with an adequate appropriation
This division should be manned by e1-
perts and should study the tubercu-
losis problem from every point of view
and should, so far as possible, set up
standards for the treatment and pre-
vention of the disease throughout the
country. One of the problems which
it is proposed to study first would be
that of the INDECENT migratory con-
sumptive, particularly in the health re-
sorts of various parts of the United
States, such as California, New Mexico,
Colorado and Texas. Another problem
which it is proposed should be studied
is that relating to the causes of tuber-
culosis. A bill introduced by Congress
man Kent of California in the House
and by Senator Norris of Nebraska IN
the Senate provides for some OF the
things which the National Association
asks for and also for a Federal sub
sidy to hospitals caring for non-resl'
dent consumptives.
Commencing on the resolution, DR..
Charles J. Hatfield, Executive Secre-
tary of The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis, says: "In spite of the fact that
tuberculosis is costing the United
States from $500, 100000 to $1,000,OOO,-
600 every year in lives lost, the amount
of money being spent annually by all
private and public agencies is not much
more than $2O,OOO,OOO; and while a
nationwide crusade to stamp out tu-
berculosis has been organized, we are
still ignorant of many of the factors
that produce it. A few thousand dol
lars wisely spent in scientific research
under Federal supervision will secure
results of incalculable benefit to this
country"

Leadership In a Democracy.

There was a day when the absolute
monarch seemed the ideal of human
greatness. The names Of such are
scattered throughout time. But their
age has vanished. The masses below
have surged to the surface-they viii
not be denied. The age before US Is
the age Of the free and aspiring many.
In such an age the strong man is the
leader Of thought He wins following
by the constraint Of a powerful mind
and a virile character. He appeals to
reason and TO the higher emotions. He
looks far into the future. and his con-
structive Imagination Is a lens through
which the people may see clearly
things as they are and as they are to
be. His qualities must be higher than
those of despot- The freely followed
leader of a free people Is greater far
than emperor or king.-Harry Pratt
