OBITU.4RY NOTES.
,eath of Eibee J. Treat of Orange.

l The many friends in this city of El- and surprised to hear of his death, which occurred yesterday morning. Up to within ten days ago he was in his usual good health. Suddenly, however, without any preliminary symptoms he was taken ill. Dr. Barnett of West Ha- ven was called and declared him to be suffering from appendicitis. All that could be done to relieve him was done. but hts condition rapidly grew worse until his demise yesterday morning. In his death Orange undergoes loss which is deeply felt by all the residents of the peaceful community. For years he has been one of the most respected citizens and well to do farmers, and was very successful in the cattle busi- ness. In the same house In which he was born he died, after sixty-seven years of active useful life. He was also a prominent member of the Congfega- tional church in Orange. To mourn him he leaves his second wife, whose maid en name was Crofut, daughter of the late David K. Crofut, Derby. and four cHtluTen Dy HIS ll1Sl Wllt, w Hp ulSN SOllic years ago. These are the sons. Freder- ick and Clifford, who have always as- sisted him on the farm, and two daugh- ters, Mrs Cora Hine Of Orange and Mrs. Sarah Tomlinson of Stratford. His sister, Mrs. Elias Bradley resides in Milford. The funeral will take place from his late residence Wednesday at ? p. m.
 WAS MIR. MOSELEY'S AUNT.
 w H. Moseley of the New Haven house received 8 telegram yesterday announcing the death of his aunt, Mrs. Cook. wife of Captain Frank A. Cook, commander of the United States cruis- CT Brooklyn. Mrs. Cook died of heart disease at Annapolis, Md. During the war Mrs. Cook spent most of the time in New Haven with MT Moseley, and made many friends who will be pained to learn of her death.
 Mrs Cook was native of San Fran cisco She was a brave, earnest and patriotic woman of vital spirit and in- telligence, although delicate in health. She was a devoted wife and mother, most dearly beloved. She cheerfully, though anxiously, gave her entire fam lily, husband and two sons, all off, cers of the navy to the chances of the Spanish war, and doubtless, the strain of the summers campaign, in which all three bore prominent parts, was factcr in the cause of her death.
 Captain Cook, who has been cruising in the Caribbean sea- has been granted leave of absence, and was expected to arrive in New York yesterday morning.
 Surgeon F. c. Cook, his son. is on the gunboat Wilmington, far up the Anna zon river on an exploration cruise. Mid shipman Cadet Harold Earle Cook, the other, son, was with his mother at the +i,,,a of ber death

The following explanation of the
word zero which has been of SO much
interest to every one, has been floating
around in the press and is well worth
reading: "Fahrenheit, who lived in
Amsterdam about two hundred years
ago, and in the first half of the eigh-
teenth century, introduced the heat
measuring system now in vogue in this
country, kept his processes very much
to himself. He fixed zero at 81 degrees
below freezing: but why he did so is
little more than guess. Some think
that was the degree of cold which he was
able to produce by mixing salt and
snow, and others think that he so fix
ed it because that was the greatest
cold he. observed in Iceland. Appar-
emily he was trying to get down to the
point of absolute cold. In the Cen
tigrade and Reaumur system, zero is
fixed at the freezing point"

Elsewhere appears the announce
ment of Mr.. A. A. McAlpin as candi-
date for Senator for Copiah county. Mr..
McAlpin is a teacher by profession,
being now engaged at Auburn, in
Lincoln, and is endorsed by Supt.
Green of that county, as moral, temper
ate, well educated and energetic" Be-
fore going to Auburn, he was a teacher
in Gallman High School, and we are
told by observing personsthat he proved
himself an excellent teacher, and evil
denced scholarly mind. Others, in
this county, who have known him
long and we'll, say he is a ready de,
batter, young man of fine attainments,
and would make splendid Senator.
We therefore commend him to the
good people of Copiah.-Hazlehurst

A Business Matter.

The Armory Argus thus points out the
demand and necessity for good officials:
As we have said before, it is a bust
ness matter to be looked at in bust
ness way, as to who should be placed
in office. AS general rule, those who
are not successful in their private
affairs could hardly be expected to
make successful or satisfactory public
servants. If good and we'll administered
government is wanted, and it is, proper
officials must be placed in charge. 1t
is inconsistent to complain of high
vote for one who is friend rather
than for the man who is best calcu-
lated to peform the functions of the
office

Bob TayIOr's Picture of the Candidate.
Every honest man who runs for of
flee is candidate for trouble, for fruits
of political victory turn to ashes ON the
lips. To me there is nothing in this
world so pathetic as a candidate. He
is like mariner without a compass,
drifting on the tempest-tossedw waves of
uncertainty between the smiling cliffs
of hope and the frowning crags of
fear. He is walking petition and a
living prayer: he is the hackhorse of
public sentiment; he is the dromedary
of politics. And if he reaches the goal
of his ambition he will soon feel the
beak of the vulture in his heart and
the fang of the serpent in his soul.
l am no longer candidate.

ADMIRAL WATSON I'LL.
Heart Trouble Results as the Erect
of witnessing an Accident to
His Steam Launch.

Washington. Aug. 2s.--The Army and
Navy Register says: Recent letters
from Manila mention the illness of Ad-
miral Watson as the source of great an
xiety to his officers. The illness is the
effect of an accident which occurred
to his launch while he was on board on
the 18th of July. The Baltimore, his
flagship, has been for some time at Ca
vite, leaving Manila SO as to escape the
full force of the typhoons. Requiring
to make trip up the river, the adj
miral started in his launch. A strong
wind was blowing and, as the launch,
the Undine, went under the bridge over
the river, known as the bridge of Spain,
the strong current aided by the wind
set against the little boat and she was
taken out of her course and thrown
against hawser from sailing vessel.
This rope carried away the awning and,
striking the smokestack, took that also.
Admiral Watson, sitting in the forward
part of the launch, and witnessing the
full danger of the accident, showed no
conscious appearance of having been
startled excessively by the occurrence,
or in any way of having suffered by it.
Later, however, in fact before his re-
turn to the flagship. serious heart
trouble developed, and in consequence
he was regarded as extremely i'll up
to the date of the letters Of the 18th
No one but his physician is allowed
access to him, and all business of the
fleet is forbidden. 1t is hoped, how.
ever, that the enforced quiet may re.
store him to his previous health.
