The President is All Right.

Daly Ailer!CA
There seems to be no doubt that
President Cleveland since his vaca-
ton began has been in the hands of
his doctors. There i nothing
strange about this. He has been
working hard and was run down. The
country recognized the fact that he
was not in very good health weeks
ago. Nor is there any reason to
doubt that he underwent an opera
ton" to relieve him. Few men 90
through life without appealing to
the surgeon once in a while.
But there are operations and Oper-
ations, from lancing the baby's gums
to laparotomy and the moxa process.
Between them there is an infnity Of
operations.
The truth about Mr.. Cleveland
seems to be that one or two carious
teeth in the low state of his health,
due to overwork and want OF exercis e
and air, communicated disease TO the
outer covering Of the jaw known to
dentists as the '.alveolar process. ="
1t is this soft, spongy sort of bone
that constitutes the sockets OF the
teeth. Necrosis or decay of this
process i not uncommon nor alarm
ing, provided that it is not commu-
nicated to the true bone of the Jaw
According to the imaginative, but
not too scientifically informed writer
in the Philadelphia Press, from whom
the story proceeded. the president
was operated on for cancer of the
Jaw. Teeth were extracted, he tells
US. and then the upper jaw bone was
removed, and with it the cancerous
growth And all this was done uu-
der the influence of nitrous oxide,
the laughing gas of the dental sur
geOn.
On the face Of it the story is i'm
possible. The anGsthesia OF laugh
ing gas is not sufficiently protractel
for such heroic surgery. The patient
would have .come to- before the
operation was fairly begun.
What is probable is that the writer
confused the Jaw bone with the
alveolar process and in his own in
dependent way diognosticated "steoid
sarcoma where the surgeons found
alveolar carcinoma.
1t was considerate of the president
to conceal his sufferings in order to
prevent further disturbance of the
public mind and to have the opera
ticn performed without publicity
In return the public hopes that the
operation was just what the Daily
America believes it to have been.
one of minor Importance in no way
justifying the tragic melancholy of
the Philadelphia Press man and the
autburst of fine writing with which
ne babe the world contemplate the
unspeakable terrors of laughing gas
and forceps.
Mr.. Cleveland is, moreover, we are
happy to say, much improved in
health and spirits and ready to re-
sumo his official duties. The first of
them should include his signature to
the Wilson repeal bill.

DIR. Wilson has business interests
at stake in this state. The blowing

which they assailed the Scott Medi-

DR.. Wilson's plan has always been
'let our patients talk for us" And

Once, when being heckled during an

the gallery, What is Mr. Merry's opin-

turning to his agent, whom he always

the man probably meant something
about Sunday trains and Sunday travel

When the World Fails to Pieces.

The leading English scientists, Jones.
Hilton, ct al, are figuring on the proba-
bihties of the earth finally coIlapsing as
a result of the modern craze for tapping
natures great gas retorts. They argue
that the earth is a hug. balloon held up.
In part at least, by heat and internal
gases, and that when natures great gas
main Is eventually exhausted the earth's
crust may break in and fall into mil
lions Of fragments. Ugh, The very
thought of such calamity Is startling.
They argue that the steady belching
forth Of millions Of feet of gas every
hour Of the day and night is surely caus-
ing great vacuum somewhere not far
beneath the surface, and that sooner OF
later the thin archway Of earth crust
will give way. Then will occur the
grand climax Of all earthly calamities.-

An Insurance Curiosity.

Ibid you ever stop to consider" asked
Lemuel Hunter, why it is that when a
man is burned out he always overesti-
mates his loss about 200 per cent? This
Is more particularly the case with fires
in frame building towns. where the loss
to the building is generally assessed at
between three and fou- times what it
cost to erect it. raised this question
not long since with man who was
burned out. He said the loss to his build
ing was 5000, but he proposed to re-
build at an expenditure of 81 200 and
have a better building. When oues-
toned the logic Of his calculation, he
promptly corrected me by pointing out
that the real estate on which the build
ing stood was worth fully s, 900. and al
though he didn't pretend 10 argue that
the site had been burned up he seemed
to think himself perfectly justified in in
Guiding the value of the p feet frontage in
his estimate of loss. No one was injured BY
the calculation, and the good man was
perfectly justified in making il if he de-
sired, but if his idea is A general one it is
not surprising that losses generally are
greatly overestimated. "-St.Louis Globe
