DOWN ON JOHN SHERMAN.
Pullman Company Has No Use for the
Ohio Statesman,

Chicago, Dec. 29-If Senator Sherman
was cadidate for reelection he could
be assured he would not receive the
moral support and good will of the
Pullman Palace Car company. The
representatives Of the company have
read his proposed amendments to the
railway pooling bill and they do not like
them. They would rather Eugene V.
DebS be elected mayor of Chicago than
sleeping car companies should be class
ed as common carriers amendable to
the interstate commerce law and "a
maximum rate of half a cent a mile
for lower berths and one-third of a cent
a mile for upper berths be established
by law. ]. S. Runnells, general
counsel for the company, said last
night:
Il do not think it desirable or in the
interest of the public that sleeping car
companies should for any reason what
soever be made amendable to the inter-
state commerce law. AS to sleeping
car companies being classed as COM
mon carriers the courts have already
decided in several states that the Pull
man company is not q common carrier"
IF such law is passed would you
regard it as unconstitutional"
Il have no conjectural opinion to
give upon that subject That question
ed more than once in the courts OF last
resort"
What about the amendment fixing
maximum rate per mile for sleeping
car service?"
IF the rates proposed in Senator
Sherman's amendment were to prevail
no sleeping car company could posi-
bly, do business. Senator Sherman in
an interview last summer said the
sleeping car rates of today are fixed
on the scale OF prices adopted during
war times. The answer to that is that
no sleeping cars Were in service during
the war that at all compared with the
cars in use today. The Pullman com
pany runs second-ciass or tourist cars
now on many roads where the railroads
and the public demand IL that are bet
ter than the sleeping cars used during
the war. The rats are even now less
on these cars than those named by the
Sherman amendment These proposed
rates are OF course not so burdensome
on the long as on the short haul, but
the absurdity of attempting TO fix a
sleeping car rate on mileage basis
ought TO be apparent to any intelligent
mind There are certain elements en-
tering into the cost OF sleeping car ser
vice that makes IL just as expensive
for berth to be occupied for a dis
lance OF twenty miles as for 80 miles
Il costs as much to make a bed and
wash the linen If the berth e. occpis-i
one hour as IL would IL occupied all
night"
VIII the Pullman company fight this
proposed legislation %
That is something that every one is
licensed to take for granted

Of course. an abundance of money to
recommend her.
1t is said of Mrs. Astor that she cares
not at all for the society of men, pre-
ferring to shine now by the graceS of
her daughters and, particularly, by
the new society appearance of Mrs.
Coleman Drayton, whom Mrs. Astor Is
introducing" again after long abb
scnce from her mothers home. But it
is a fact that very many men admire
Mrs Astor greatly, and should she
ever care to rc-cnter the field of matri-
mony, she would find suitors as many
as She could count. Her wealth is very
great-too great for cstimate--proba-
DlY the income is $500 or $500 per day.
Her period of mourning is just past.
Another of the widows, well along
in years though still very attractive,
is Mrs Hicks Lord. This remarkable
woman is in poor health now, no doubt
from the many and varied scenes Of
her life. But those who visit her on
Washington square in her palace home
say she will recover and yet grace So
ciety at homo and abroad as of yore.
Mrs. Hicks Lord rejoices in the full
name of Annette Wilhelmina Schenck
Wilkens Hicks-Lord. She is twice n
widow, having been married long ago
to Mr.. Hicks, who left her with an
annual income of $4,000, which she
increased to Sl50,0Oc upon the death of
her second husband Mr.. Lord, who
was over 80 years old when she mar
ried him.
Among the startling events OF this
great woman's career was her CONVEX
sion to the Roman Catholic church,
when she was baptised in Rome by
Mgr. Capel; another was the way she
entertained in Paris; and again the
manner in which she excited inter-
national wonder by givingup her home
abroad to the German empress when
the latter wished to visit London.
This unselfshness from a petted belle
brought old Mr.. Lord PROSTATE at her
feet.
Mrs. Hicks Lord S most famous jewel,
in q collection Ct the finest private
Jewels in the world, is a stomacher
which cost just u quarter OF a million.

THE APPENDICITIS FAD.
Popular Errors ABOUT Grape Seeds Ex

Popular Errors ABOUT Grape Seeds Ex-
pioded by "a Prominent Surgeon.
A prominent doctor who had per-
formed score OF successful operations
for the removal OF that troublesome
and inexplicable part OF human anato-
my, the vermiform appendix, says
that the general impression that APP
pendicitis is caused by the presence in
the appendix OF u cherry stone or q
currant seed or seed of any kind, il
entirely erroneous. / have not found
a seed in the appendix of a single one
OF my cases. he said.
"A small bit Of digested matter gets
into the little sac, II the neck OF It IL
open far enough to receive it. 1t may
remain there for years and cause no
trouble, and then again it may bring
on appendicitis almost Immediately.
Where the patients health is in good
condition, in four cases out of five tao
operation of removing the appendix IL
successful. There is u great differen 70
in the length OF time taken by surgeons
to perform this, or in fact, any delica,o
operation. There is one surgeon N
the city who has performed the opera
ton in eighteen minutes, which in
cluded the time from the moment the
patient was brought in on the operat-
ing table until he was ready to no
taken out. This is half the time that
it, takes the majority of skillful s:r-
geons to do it. OF course speed Is not
everything
1.-The appendices fad, as the era
among rich people to have their
vermiform appendicitis removed is
called, still continues undated, and
there are few surgeons of prominence
now who are not familiar with tho
performance of the operation. A storJ
is told OF doctor who is CONSTANT
ordering tho removal of the vermiforl
appendix for patients. He was Gallo
to see II gentleman one evening who
had been seriously injured. Tho
gentleman when he recognized tho
doctor, said.
"Oh, is it you; then must have az
pendicitis!"
doctors who have allowed the az
pendicitis fad to carry them away
have performed the operation upon ~
great many people whose vermiform
appendices were in good condition,
and in some cases patients having weak
constitutions have died because OF tao
slit in their abdomens. | am very glad
to explode that story OF the graDo
seeds and other seeds. People
who have heard about appen-
dicitis have given up the luxury OF
small fruit for fear of appendicitis, AMI
some OF the extremely sensitive ones
have even been constantly worried
lest some seed that they had swallowed
in the past might give them this
discase-which is among the rarcst
| diseases, anyhow"

Suspended on High.

An accident, which might have ter
minated fatally, happened to C. +.
Wait, balloonist, at Capac, recently.
In making an ascension, and height
of ZOO to 1900 feet, he seized the
parachute for the descent, and in some
way the small cord which held the
parachute to the bar of the balloon
(only cord one eighth of an inch in
diameter) became entangled around
the bar of the balloon. He claims he
united the string before he attempted
to drop. Any way, it resulted in the
inverting of the parachute, leaving
him suspended in the air with only
the small cord to hold him. He re-
manned quiet, not daring to make an
effort to raise himself by the cord to
get hold of the bar above him. After
IA little further ascent the balloon be-
gan to descend, landing him with con-
siderable force, but not enough to hurt
him seriously. He was afterward so
completely Frustrated from the shock
that physician was summoned.

and innocence. In the second. he is
found putting into practice all the

period is that when he is making his
soul and preparing for another world;
That is the period Of dotage."

A JUDO M EMIT.

which Changed the Omciai Language of
the French Courts.
The young duke of Brissac, son of
the viscountess de Tredern by her
first husband, has just become en-
gagged to Mile. de Crussol, daughter OF
the well-known duchess Dues and
sister of that Duke Jacques who per-
ished couple of years ago in Africa.
The duke OF Brissac is very popular
young officer Of the Twenty-ffth dra-
goons and bids fair to develop later on
in life as much flesh as that ancestor
of his who used to be known as ..le
gros Brissac."
1t is to this fat duke of Brissac, by
the by, that the French nation is in
debted for having the pleading in law
courts as well as the judgments and
decisions delivered in French instead
of in Latin, as had been the case until
his time. 1t seems that the duke rode
all the way from Paris to Rouen just
in time to hear the judges there deliv-
ering judgment against him with
the Latin words "Debotat dictum."
At any rate these were the only words
he heard, says Paris letter.
Furiously he returned to Paris, and
on arriving there complained to the
king of the impertinence of the judges.
"Why, what have they done to you,
my poor Brissac!' exclaimed the king.
They've condemned me to lose my
boots"
Your boots?" inquired the king in
establishment.
Eyes, sir; they used the expression
.debot at dictum, and should like to
know what else they can mean"
There was shout of laughter on the
part OF his majesty and OF those pres
ent, and it was with difficulty that the
real meaning of the expression was
made clear to the irate duke.
"But why couldn't they tell me that
my demand had been rejected in plain
French, instead of their accused Lat
in?" he growled.
you're right, Brissac," reioincd
the king, ''henceforth if you are to BIO
subject to a 'debot at it shall be in
French" And from that time forth
all judgments have been delivered in
the vernacular.
