 Salaxy for Christmas.

DOES NOT FAVOR
 WATER RESEARCH
LEAGUE MAKES ANSWER TO COM. MuNIcATloN FROM MEDICAL
 DIRECTOR HALLoCK.
Too Costly and Would Not Prove Anything Further, Probably, Than
 Experience Has Proven in Past.

Medical Director Hallock. who sub mitted to the Business Mems League a proposal for the scientific research to ascertain more about the hot wa. ters of this city, will receive a nega- tive answer.
 The matter was brought before the league at it's. last meeting and was submitted to the executive commit tee for consideration The proposal Is for the League to use it's influence to have the government appropriate q large sum for scientific research into the hot waters.
 The answer goes into length in dealing with the subject but in brief sets forth that the research would cost a lot of money, that it would take long time, and that under the conditions that prevail, probably a like sum expended in improvement of the reservation property here would be absolutely more beneficial to the people
 It is set forth that the hot waters have been practically under scientific investigation for fifty years, and that experience in the use of the hot wa ters is proving the value of the baths for all purposes. The League would not negative the general proposal for a scientific research, but taking into consideration all the conditions, the league would not favor the work being taKen up at this time.
 The answer in complete form has been submitted to Major Hallock to be sent by him to the secretary of the interior at Washington, where it will DIG bably he made public in it's com plete and official form.

CASTLEM EN-.

We greatly regret the sad news OF
the death of Henry Sinclair Castleman,
NJ. d., one Of the most prominent and
respecled physicians Of this city Mt bis
home on West King street, opposite
the postofiice on Friday night last o.
heart disease.
DIR. Castlemar was the son ofthe late
Henry w astlenan aud was born %
years ago at Woodburn, Jefferson
county whenee his father moved from
Clarke county. He was connected by
both parents With the best families of
that section. The DIR. was educated at
Bethel college, Virginia and graduated
in medicine from the 4 aryland Uni.
versity medical college with high
honors. Hessettled here eleven years
ago, at once took position in the
front ranks In his profession and by
his cordiality became very popular AS
citizen.
SiAce he came TO this city his two
aunls, one Of " hom was also his STEP
mother, Mrs. Il. Q. JollifIe ard Mrs.
Mary f. Castlenan, both Of whom
survive together with his brother, Mr..
John i Castieman, OF near Leesburg,
Virginia aAd two sisters, Mrs. Esteiie
Powers, Of Berryyille, and Mrs. Little
page, widow of the late Captain Har-
den Beverly Littlepage, u. S. N.
Last summer the lJr. went to Provi-
dence hospital, Washington, d. e.,
where he was operated upon for gall
stone and came home some time after
apparently well but the improvement
did not last and last week he went to
The hospital ia this city for treatment
and on Friday night he went home
apparently much improved. When
he arrived at home he was greeted by
his aunt and stated that he wasccrtain
~ glad to get home. After some con-
vsrsation his aunt went to her room on
the second floor and not hearing any
thing of the DR. for some little time
she went down stairs again and found
him lying on the fioer before the stove
which be evidently had stopped sver
60 adjust the drafts before going 10
bed when be fell over. Drs. Barnes
and Sencindiver were called at once
bit found that life was extinct.
DR.. Castleman was born gentle
man, courteous and refined to all With
whom he met as highly esteemed by
all. 1t certainly seems sad that he
should be called awsy 50 soon when in
the very midst of a promising life. He
| was from childhood member of the
Episcopal church and took much in
terest in the affairs of his church.
| The funeral took place on Monday
morning when the remains were taken
to Charles Town where they were laid
to rest IN the family lot. Bishop
