UNDER THE KNIFE.
a Newport Woman Dies I'm a New York
Hotel.


NEW York, Feb. IL. = Mrs. Martin
Smith, of Newport, is the last victim of
the complaint technically known as appen-
dicitis. The case was similar 20 that of
Capt Edward Temple Rose, who was sue
cessfully operated upon several months
ago at Bellevue Hospital. Both opera
tions were performed 10y DIR. William Il.
Bull, and the failure to save Mrs. Smith
was because peritonitis had already been
developed.
The patient was brought to this city
from her home In Newport two weeks
ago and taken directly TO the Grand Ho-
tel. DIR. Bull visited her az o'clock one
afternoon, made all the necessary prepara-
tions in two hours and by the operation
had been performed. few hours later
Mrs. Smith died.
The operation consisted in the cutting
away of the little sac attached TO the
larger intestines, and generally known as
fhe vermifOrm appendix. IL II regarded
as one of the most difficult oper-
atiOns known to surgery
Mrs. Smith was only twenty-five years
old and had suffered from stomach
troubles ever since she was n child. The
physicians gave up all hope last Novem-
her and it, was decided TO perform an oper-
alton The appendix was removed, but
peritOnitS had too strong a hold on the
patient and she died.
In England the physicians still recon-
mend medical treatment only for apDen-
dicitis and their views are supported by
many doctors in this country, although
the many successful operations that have
Ieen performed here recently, have led
many people to try the surgical treatment

GUBERNAT0RIAL POSSIBILITIES.
TIL HON. FREDERICK c. sAYLEs.

Pawtucket has made available and de-
sirable possibilities for the gubernatorial
nomination; desirable because they are
men of ability, good judgment and bust
ness integrity. Among these is the Hon.
Frederick Clark Sayles, who was born in
our sister city, July II, 1895, and has
always resided there.
His father, the late Clark Sayles who
died seven or eight years ago, was one
OF the oldest and most highly respected
citizens OF that place. Mr.. Sayles easily
traces his ancestry back TO the founder of
Providence, John Sayles having married
the daughter of Roger Williams. He is
also a descendant of Gov. Joseph jerks,
sou OF the founder of Pawtucket in 1855.
In youth he was favored with unusual
home advantages, and was ever ambitious

HE BREACHES PEACE.
The Pope Asks French Catholics to
Support the Republic.
AMERICA THEIR BEST MODEL.
Church and State Have Their Own Mis-
sions and should Strive to Keep from
Clashing France Shall Rise to More
than Her Old Power

New YORK, Fep. ia special to the
Herald gives the substance of statement
made by Pope Leo XIII TO NJ. Jadet, the
ex-deputy. which is expected to make a
a deep impression i'm Europe as indicating
the adhesion of the Pope TO the Republic.
my desire and the wish of the church
is that France should be happy. She is a
nation whose pious mind aud generous
character, though they may not always
is best suited To her interests, soon repair
all faults and show her the clear truth.
II pray (and / act in accordance with my
prayer) that despite all resistance, there
may come an end to the dissensions and
the ST Grille quarrels which weaken her
"All her citizens should meet upon the
ground of legality. Each individual may
cherish his own preferences. But when
in the domain of action nothing else ex-
lists but the government which France has
chosen.
"The republic is as legitimate a form of
government as any other.
Il have just received communication
from the president of the committee of
the Chicago Worlds Fair asking the Holy
See to take part in that great American
undertaking. And the United States,
which constitute a republic, grow greater
every day despite the drawbacks inciden-
tai 10 their boundless liberty. There, toe,
the Catholic church develops without
clashing with the State. The two powers
act in perfect harmony, as they should in
all lands when neither infringes upon the
rights of the other
Liberty is indeed the base and the
foundation of relations between the civil
power ana religions conscience.
Thanks TO her strong constitution
France will rise TO her old greatness in
despite Of her foes"

i'm his studies Commencing in the year
1S40 he spent several winters in Savannah
Georgia where his father carried on n
lumber business. While there he attended
the best schools
After a course in the Savannah schools,
in which he received the premium for
good scholarship, he returned TO Rhode
Island and attended the schools of Paw
tucket. the University Grammar school of
Providence, and the Conference seminary
at East Greenwich, graduating with honor
from the last named place IN June, 1893.
In July of the same year he entered the
employ of his brother, William +. Sayles,
in the Mosshassuck Bleachery at Sayles-
vile. now one Of the largest and best
equipped establishments of its kind in the
world. Here he began his career by sweep
ing the Office, invoicing the books, and IN
other ways making himself generally use

On January 1. 1863, ten years after his
first connection with the establishment,
he entered into partnership with his
brother. and the firm has since existed
under the firm name Of w. f. u r. {.
Sayles.
In the year 1885, Pawtucket became n
city. and Mr.. Sayles, who bad hitherto
held no public oihcc Of any kind, was pre-
vailed upon by the representative busi-
ness men Of the town, irrespective Of party
lines, 10 accept the nomination for mayor.
To this Office he WAS elected, and cnt red

A VERY CLEVER SCHEME
The Silver Men Want Boies fol
Good Reasons.
A PLATFORM OF EQUWOCATION,
The Mining Barons Want a President Who
VIII Sign Free Coinage Bin but Not
Alienate support by Letting Outsid-
ers into the Plan Too Soon.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Feb. 17.-From n high
official Of this State, whose relations to
Gov. Boies enables him to speak, comes
the intimation that the Western Democ-
racy has conceived plan to reconcile, for
the purpose of the coming campaign, the
differences within its party on free silver,
and to secure the Presidency and free
coinage.
The plan is intmated by this official in
defence of the governor against the
criticisms which the free silver press Of
his party have freely made against him
because his Denver speech made no allu-
sion TO silver. The official intimates that
the governor was silent on this subject
with the previous knowledge and consent
and even at the suggestion of Colorado's
champions of free silver. The implication
of the officials expression is this.
The mining barons want free coinage
A President who viii sign free coinage
bill is necessary TO this, and consequently
Democratic victory. The Democrats can't
succeed unless their differences respect
ing free coinage are reconciled. They
cannot undertake to determine this issue
at Chicago and keep their party together,
nor can they elect TO the Presidency u
man who has unequivocally committed
himself for or against free coinage.
Therefore, the talk of the friends of silver
Is to secure the nomination of a man who
would sign free coinage bill. and as a
means to his election TO secure platform
that will not offend the East, but will be
susceptible of Interpretation satisfactory
TO the West.
Boes ignored silver at Denver and pro-
claimed the tariff the issue to catch the
support OF the East, whUe the word is TO
be passed around privately in the West
that he is all right on silver. By organi-
Zation the silver men figure they will have
considerable majority in the convention,
which they will exercise in framing a
platform of reconciliation and in nomi-
Mating Boies
