This Village was startled on Saturday when
the news was circulated that George Cook died
about one o'clock from heart failure. Al
though he had been sick more than week
only few of his friends realized the serious
nature of his illness and his friends generally
entertained hopes of his speedy recovery. The
funeral was held on Tuesday at 2 o'clock at
his late residence and was attended by the
entire village, with many friends from the
city and surrounding country. The six re-
manning elders of Hanover church were hon
orary bearers. while the body was carried by
six of his cousins. Rev. I. A. White con-
Quoted the services and his burial was in the
family plot in the Hanover cemetery. Mr..
Cook had very large circle of friends among
whom he was highly honored and respected.
In politics he was staunch Republican and
had served in the town committee and other
positions of trust. On November ID, 1881, he
was ordained an elder of Hanover church and
has always been very active in all church work
in the parish. Mr.. Cook was in the Sind year
of his age and leaves an aged mother, wife
and two daughters to whom the entire COM
munity extend their deepest sympathy in this
hour of their affiiction. His life was noble
Christian one and will be long remembered by
those who knew him.

bathed for the kitchen. II is true that
the baby is al last taken up, after it is
quite undressed but the struggles it has
to go through to reach its mother are
quite pathetic If, indeed, they are not
very comic al the same time. Where the
plague comes in in these serio-comic af-
fairs is that a Marjadi is, besides being
self-controlled mother and a self-re-
specting wife, a wasteful user of water
during all the time she is engaged in
preparing meals. Every two or three
minutes a Marjadi male or female will
wash his or her hands; on the least provo
cation will he or she take their bath;
altogether they use water so plentifully
that damp is an almost lnvariable con-
comitant of a Marjadi household. Add
to this that native houses are in many
cases very ill-ventila ted places, and we
get an idea how the plague must find
very favorable conditions in dwellings
from which dryness and ventilation and
cleanliness have been to great enough
extent excluded
With the jams it is just the contrary
Followers as they are of creed that en-
joins on them abstention from killing
even the meanest living things, many
of them are very naturally abnormally
unclean in their personal habits. For as
almost all water contains some infusoria
or at least Sc germs, the Jains, as a
rule, abstain as much as possible from
the use of water for personal purposes.
They bathe very infrequently, and are
extremely economical of the use of water,
except where they cannot help it. It
would seem, therefore, that the Bhattias
and the jams, those by their prodigality
and these by their parsimony in the use
of water, create conditions where ex-
tremes meet. Damp in the one case and
filthy habits In the other supply a favor
able environment to the propagation of
the plague. And hence the high mortal
ity among these two communities 1t
would be a good thing If efforts could be
made to spread among these people the
knowledge that personal cleanliness, and
dryness, and ventilation are very great
projections against the plague. Perhaps
even the Bhattias and the jams may
then, for once, give their adhesion to SCI
ence. At least we may very profitably
follow In the footsteps of the merry Brit
ish tar, who unconsciously treading on
the bedding of a Marjadi lady on board a
steamer, and being tod by her that she
was a Marjadi, wonderingly eyed her, and
finding her quite plump and in good
health, asked her Tum kayeko mar jati?
Jack interpreted Marjadi as two words
and naturally wanted to know why any
one so young and pretty should be will

the frank-hearted sailor ask the Mar

His illness was edifying throughout,

He came to the hospital with the ex-

New York, Oct. IA Washington dis
patch TO the Herald says: Officers re-
turning from duty with the vessels sta.
toned in Southern cuban waters tells an
interesting story of the discovery of a
treasure chest on board the sunken Span
ish cruiser Almirante Oquendo.
For the purpose of recovering as many
valuables from the cruisers as possible
wreckers have been inspecting the sunken
Spanish ships and divers had been sent
below decks to save any article of value
that might be found. One of the divers
who had been working below deck on the
Almirante Oquendo, suddenly disappeared,
and, 1t is said, was arrested in Santiago
de Cuba charged with drunkenness. The
man had great many gold pesetas In his
pockets, and when questioned admitted
that he had found the gold In a chest on
board the Oauendo
The information was furnished to Capt
C. f. Goodrich commanding the Newark,
who at once communicated 1t to Lieut.

ship He directed a diver to enter the
forepeak of the Oquendo where the chest
was lying, according TO the deserter's
story, but for four days the search appar-
entity went unrewarded. The chest was
finally brought to the surface, but it was
evident that some of its contents were
missing. The government secured, how
ever, $48, $50 in gold pestas, and a large
quantity of notes of the bank of Spain,
which have been sold In New York and

THE PLAGUE IN INDIA.
Some of the Native Customs which
Assist In Its Spread.
From the Times of India.

ASHAst III It's
From the Times of India.
During the plague epidemics in Bombay
one of the most striking things about the
mortality statistics was the extraordinary
high death rate among the Bhattias and
the Jains. This mortality has remained a
problem. Why should it be that precisely
the two communities that are the richest
in our presidency should have furnished
proportionately the very greatest contri-
button towards deaths by plague? We
generally associate with wealth a sense
of comfortable living and tolerably clean
surroundings. What, then, could have
made the members of the rich Bhattia
community, and of the richer Jain com
munity, furnish a larger number of vic
Tins of the plague than have done even
among the Hindoos? May 1t not be that
in the ways of living of these two COM
munities, diametrically opposed as they
are in one respect, we find a solution that
meets the case perfectly? There are
among the Bhattias two sharply divided
religious sections-the ordinary people
and the Marjadis. These Marjadis are
an extremely peculiar race. "Marjad"
originally in Sanskrit means a limitation;
and the Marjadis are probably people who
voluntarily set a well-defined limit TO
their intercourse with the profane outside
world, and are thus peole bearing a linn
itation that, in their own belief, confers
on them a superiority.
Marjadi wife, after she has taken her
bath for the purpose of cooking the family
meals, is, until everybody else and then
herself have taken their meals, polluted
by the touch even of her husband or her
brother, or her own baby--of all, in fact.
except that of a brother or sister Mar
jadi similarly bathed. We are not IT ali
eXaggerating. 1t is one of the commonest
occurrences for a Bhattia husband, squat
ting or sitting on low wooden stool on
the floor, to be served by mis- wife with
his dinner in a way and with a distance
and stiffness that would be considered
by most other communities a deadly in
suit to martial rights. But the Bhattia
husband-particularly the husband of
Marjadi wife--iS as near as possible TO
the Shakespearean ideal of patience sitting
on a monument. But though the Bhattia
husband does not rebel. the Bhattla baby
does; and nowhere else can one see a baby
crying its very heart out with such tre-
mendous energy as in a Bhattia house
hold where The young Marjadi wife has
