DEATH OF COMMANDER BAKER.
Tho United States Navy Loses Brave,
Modest and Capable Omcer.


Commander Samuel Houston Baker. u.
5. n, the husband Of the sister of Albert
g. Osborne, deputy clerk of the peace OF
New Castle county, died at Norfolk, Va.
whittier he had gone for his health, on
Monday night, aged "A years. Com
mander Baker was well known to many
citizens OF this city and state He lived
at the Clayton House with his
family for several months year
or two ago. He was then spending
a furlough on account of i'll health. Pre-
yiously he had spent winter at Annap
oils where he taught the cadets in math-
ematics His last cruise was on the war
ship Monongahela in the waters of the
south Pacific and especially on the coast
OF Chilli, in which country he spent sew
eral months The Monongahela was or

equipped but least pretentious men in the
United States Navy. His modesty was
not exceeded W that OF General Grant
himself and il was constantly remarked
by those who knew his attainments. He
left Annapolis at the head Of his class in
mathematics, and at his death, in that re-
spect, was without an equal in the navy.
Every promotion came to him through
merit. He earned every reward and honor
that was bestowed upon him.

that state He was married to Mrs.
Baker absut fifteen years ago and two
children blessed the union. The son named
after the father is now IS years Of age.
