THE LAST OF A FIGHTING LINE.

Captain Allyn Capron. First U. S. Ar
tillery, died at his home, near Fort Myer,
Va, on Sunday last, of typhoid fever. He
was graduate of the United States Mil
itary Academy of the class of '67 and was
at once assigned as second lieutenant to
the regiment with which he continuously
served for the remainder of his career.
Born in Florida, he came of fight
ing stock. His father, Allyn Capron and
Captain of the First Artillery in Mexi-
co, fell mortally wounded at Cherubusco
in 1847, and his son, Captain Allyn K.
Capron of the Rough Riders, was killed
in the first days battle before Santiago,
on July /.
So that three of the name, and three of
successive generations, have given up
their lives for their country, and the sad
end of the subject of this notice termi-
mates the brilliant career of family of
distinguished fighters by removing the
last of the family itself.
Captain Capron's fatal disease was con-
tracted in camp on his return from Cuba,
where his gallant action in the Santiago
series of assaults had won him renown.
He led the advance of Lawton's charge,
firing the first shot of the fight and after
wards turning his guns upon the city.
The precision and rapidity of his practice
made possible, with Grimes timely aid,
the decisive infantry onslaught that Gull
minated in the crowning victory of our
forces and the surrender of the army Of
Spain under Toral. The name of Capron
will be held in lasting veneration by all
men who esteem soldierly self-sacrifce,
courage and devotion.

ACTING GOVERNOR VOORHEES,, the Re
publican nominee for Governor, has
announced that he will resign as Senator
from Union county, the same to take
effect when the Senate convenes in JAN
uary. He will then, as President of the
Senate and Acting Governor, issue a
writ for a special election to fill the
vacancy, to be held on the same day as
the gubernatorial election That is evil
IDENTIFY the proper course to pursue and
would in no sense contravene any pro-
vision of the Constitution with reference
to filling official vacancies. Doubtless,
the same Democrats who vainly at
tempted to steal the Senate by insisting
that ten Senators were majority of
twenty-one, will object, but as before,
their objections will not count as against
the expressed will Of the people.

SOCIETY oF TAE ARMY Of sANTlAec

The organization of the Army of San
tiago has been completed at Camp WIKI
off, and it is expected that the society
will soon become influential and one of
the leading American patriotic organiza-
tons. Active participation in the San
tiago land campaign is necessary to Sc
cure membership, which is necessarily
limited to officers and men who formed
part of the Fifth Army Corps between
June IA, when it left Tampa, and July
II, when it entered the city of Santiago.
The enlisted men are expected to join
and be the main strength of the society,
although the organization has been per-
fected entirely by officers. The first
meeting was an impromptu affair, held
in the Governors Palace at Santiago on
July 81. The next meeting, week
later, unanimously elected General
Shafter president, General Wheeler first
vice president and Major Sharp secretary.
There will be no initiation fee, and the
yearly dues will be merely nominal
probably about so cents. The badge is
still under consideration.

GAS.

The Peoples Gas Company of Trenton.
the new gas corporation of that city, is
making matters decidedly lively for the
old moss back concern which has sup
piled the gas used at the capital city, out
side of that furnished by the members of
the Legislature, for many years for So
per 1000 feet. while the quality was at
times very inferior. The Peoples Gas
Co. announce in double column adver-
tisement that it "will furnish gas to
their consumers at the rate of 80 cents
per 1000 cubic feet" and if the old COM
pany get down the new concern pledge
to sgo' cents 1000 feet better.
In addition gas ranges are furnished
free. A significant fact is that the Peo-
PIES Company say that Illuminating gas
of the best quality can be furnished for
81 per 1000 cubic feet, and handsome
profit realized for the producers.

ABOUT THAT PLATFORM.

Senator Blodgett, who gave to his
aforetime fellow Democratic associates
the cognomen Of 1.-THE old gang" is out
in an interview which, coming from him.
is mighty interesting reading, inasmuch
as he said he was called upon to speak
because he was afraid some Of the Demo
cratic leaders would s'slop over, where
upon he rose SO to speak and remarked:
81 think that the Democrats of New
Jersey ought to appreciate the conditions
that exist in this State and discern that
it would be foolish policy to attempt to
force issues that would irritate the voters
of the party rather than unite them. 1t
will not be wise to attempt to put up an
amplifed platform, because that cannot be
done without party controversy, and it is
not the year to have any lengthy argu-
ment on in material things. A simple

THERE has been a remarkable epidemic
of crime in this part of the land during
the two past months, murders in mystic
rious and original ways being the char
acteristic and women being dispropor-
tionately the victims. If there be in psy-
Geological or other logical law an occult
cause for the periodic revival of regime
of horrible deprayity and crime, as some
contend, then it would seem that there
should follow a corresponding increase in
the aptitude for ferreting out the guilty
and in the processes for their swift pun
ishment.

THE NEW BATTLEsHlPs.

The three new first class battleships. to
be named the Maine, Missouri and Ohio,
are to be the finest in the world, and in
nearly all essentials they will differ from
the splendid fighting machines we have
now, being improvements as to speed, ar
mament and power.
The determination as to some of these
details was reached after severe official
examination and discussion of practical
results in hot action in the recent war;
and these Investigations by experts bring
to light some curious facts that would
probably not otherwise have been afford
ed the public. For example, the 13-inch
gun, of whose tremendous destructive
ness we read so much few months ago,
is to disappear from future ornaments,
experience proving that as a sea gun its
accuracy is not to be depended upon. 1t
is said that in the Cervera battle the 49,
inchers did the least execution, making
fewest approximate hits while expanding
the highest ratio of ammunition.
The 8-inch gun won distinction off the
Santiago coast, and this will be the nor
NAL standard, as now, for cruisers, but
as really heavy guns must compose the
main batteries of our battIeships the fu-
ture limit will be 12-inch calibre, the
8-inch gun cleaning in the secondary
batteries, with promiscuous projections
of 6-inch rapid frers all along the line.
The 12-inch and S-inch projectiles are ar
mor-piercers. The 6-inch is not. 1t was
demonstrated in action, however, that
the 6-inch gun, served at its best, is in
comparably the most effective at medium
or close range. Some Of the very small
calibers now in use will be eliminated in
future, and smokeless powder will here
after be employed in the navy exclusive
ly. It developed that the highest ascer-
tainable record of craftsmanship in the
war was made by the cruiser New Or
leans, purchased by us in England last
March, where she was built for the Bra
zilians and had been provided with excel
lent ordnance and smokeless ammunition.
Her faultless practice under fire before
the Spanise forts, batteries and gunboats,
due largely to unrestricted view of the
points aimed at, settled the matter in
favor of smokeless powder, which is now
being manufactured for the first time in
the United States.

HUNT NOT A CANDIDATE.

Henry G. Hunt, who has been promi-
nently mentioned as probable candi-
date for the Republican Congressional
nomination in the Fourth district, an
nounces in communication to the Sas-
ser Register that 81 am not candidate
and cannot accept the nomination if
offered to me-" he pledges his hearty
support to the nominee of the conven-
ton.
There is small coterie of disgruntled
Republicans in Sussex who might emu
late Mr.. Hunts example as to the hearty
support of the ticket in that county, and
the support could not be too hearty to
discharge the obligations they are under
to the Republicans of our sister county.

The Democratic Congressional Com
mittee met at Newton on Tuesday, and
while they fixed upon the time and place

they determined to withhold the infor-

BUSINESS.

1t is truth to say that in great and
progressive country like ours, leading all
others in the articles and resources of
wealth and with illimitable, diversified
and inestimable productive advantages,
and an intelligent and industrious pop
ulation to develop them, that its business
conditions should under almost any con-
ceivable shock or strain preserve an i'm
perturbable and immovable posture, af
fected in their normal course by no small
matters of obstruction but proceeding re-
sistlessly in the customary channels year
in and year out, the only changes being
for the general betterment.
In other words, the life of all civilized
lands consists in the volume and activity
of its general trade. This is the vital
fluid, just as in the human system the
blood circulation supplies the life of the
body. Now. if men as a rule had to de-
pend continually upon probabilities that
from time to time this circulation must
vary either in force or aliment- that one
who is rudy and robust today might to-
morrow have to undergo such modifica-
lions as depletion and mpoverishment of
blood, the day following, possibly, to suf-
fer some other variation, would it not be
necessary conclusion of the common
sense of the race that the source of human
life was itself at faults The trade situa-
ton of this prodigious nation of indus
trialists. producers and dealers is nor
mally such that nothing in the direction
of results nothing, that is, based on the
living principle of business dare be pre-
dicted for month in advance.
On the other hand, there is never lack
ing the outlook for disaster, that might
be taken to mean that the foundations of
trade are so insecure that the probabili-
ties always favor their being knocked
away. Why is it that a practical bust
ness man. backed by experienced years
and familiar with the supposed laws of
commerce, will not venture upon calcu-
Cdt1ODS ICctluS vi tHOoC laws duQ LOtl ucO
what the results are bound to be? If
man bores for water he will get water,
and he knows the law by which he was
certain to get it. Business is conducted,
not for amusement or accommodation
it is done for profit. Is there, indeed, no
absolute law underlying business where
by it can be known that a positive result
must follow positive business course?
A merchant said to us: 1.-THE war, of
course, was bad for business And now
comes a hot political campaign. And
then comes Congress. A session of Con-
gress always upsets the business of the
country"
Now, if business is a science, having
defined and inexorable laws, and if it is
not just haphazard contest of venture
and chance, then what in the name of the
Cesars has hot campaign or session of
Congress got to do with its results?

Morristown Auxiliary Continues to Send
Supplies to the Soldiers.
Last week the Morristown Auxiliary
shipped to the supply depot box of hos
pital clothing, and will ship another on
Wednesday next. Supplies are needed
also for Santiago and Porto Rico. There
will be sent to Ponce one hundred pipes
and two hundred packages of tobacco in
response to request. Letters of thanks
have been received from Jacksonville
and other camps,
The Executive Committee desires to
express thanks to the managers of the
Summer Shelter for the offer of the Shell
ter and to the Board of Directors Of the
Memorial Hospital for their offer of the
old hospital building for use in caring for
sick and convalescent soldiers.
After due consideration it was decided
that there was no further need in Nor
ristown for that work, and both offers
were declined, believing it best to devote
their work and money to the furnishing
of supplies.

THE plant of the Norris County Jour-
nal was sold last Saturday by the Re
ceiver for $3.50, but on Monday the Chan
cellor refused to confirm the sale because
of bid of $1,000, made in open court.
The plant is still in the hands of the
court, and it is yet to be seen whether
the mortgages who made the bid last
Saturday will double up on their original
hid.
