MEMBER OF THE FAMILY.
So the Britisher Considers the News
paper of His Choice.

paper of His Choice.
Price Collier writing in the December
Forum, says that the newspaper is a
member of the family in England and
regularly comes to breakfast with the 9TH
err members The London Times is a kind
of oldest son amongst newspapers, and
Punch, the jolly bachelor uncle, who
makes occasional visits. Englishmen take
their newspapers into their confidence,
and have naif way of writing to them
on all sorts of subjects. If an Englishman
rows down the Thames and stops for
luncheon at an inn and is overcharged,
he writes to his newspaper, just as little
boy runs in to complain to his mamma
of the rough treatment OF his playmates;
and later on this first letter is followed
by others, in which the comparative
merits and cost of light luncheons on the
continent, in Seringapatam, in kamschat-
ka, and everywhere else where English
men have eaten and drunk-and where
have they not done these?-is discussed
au fond. If horses stumble and fall in
Rotten Row there are letters on the sub
ject which go into the matter of road
building and modern Workmanship, and
the like, with quotations from Virgil and
anecdotes of accidents that happened half
a century ago. OF late there have been
many letters concerning the lynching of
negroes in our southern states, and here
again John Bull, with his ponderous dis
regard of the fact that he knows moth
ing at first hand, delivers himself naively,
as usual of his superficial
omniscience. Not only the more
serious weekly, but also the daily
newspapers, give one the impression
that they feel themselves to some extent
responsible for the contemporary auditing
of the accounts of the day of Judgment.
on the other hand the better class Of
English newspapers do not indulge in
rash suppositions, hasty congratulations,
uncertain guesses at probable future hap
penings, and the daily exploitation of the
personal affairs of notorious nobodies.
And one may be permitted to say diff
IDENTIFY that perhaps this is preferable.
If Mr.. Balfour. for example, should go
abroad for a holiday, it would be con-
sdered vulgar to chronicle his doings and
dinings, and absolutely brutal and boOrish
to write particulars of the dress and beha-
vior of his sister-or of his wife, II he
had one. The sense of fair play of a
nation of sportsmen does not permit an
editor to torment even his enemy from
behind a womans petticoats.

is that it affords a safe reference for cur

also replete with Christmas and Christ

among the novel ideas for the season is an

FRUIT RATES.

Importers Give Notice That They
Are Altogether Too High.
The Tropical Fruit Importers associa-
Dion, of New Orleans, has given notice
at Denver that the rates for fruits from
the principal entreport of the Gulf are
highly unsatisfactory, says the Denver
News. The association, therefore, has
, taken steps to secure a reduction in
yates. Up to September % last the rate
Sfrom New Orleans to Denver was rs 1-2
cents per 100 pounds. The roads have
taken several bitches at the tropical
fruit business and the rate is now
S1.2615. This rate, the importers say, is
practically prohibitive, and they will be
obliged to abandon the Denver market
If reduction is not granted. The i'm
porters are obliged by custom to guar
sntee the delivery of the fruit if in good
condition. This, they claim, cannot be-
done at existing figures.
New Orleans is the principal port
Through which tropical fruits pass to-
wards tine north. Galveston is doing
an increasing business, the rate from
that point to Denver being $1-111k, a
differential Of Is cents in favor of Cal
weston as compared with New Orleans.

suddenly in Chicago, May Be
Soon Established. However.
Philadelphia, Aug 4.-The claims of
the two men, one Leon Long, of this
city, and the other A. NJ Sampson, of
Tucson, Ar1z., of the body OF the wo-
man who died in Chicago, are possible
Of solution when the circumstances
under which Longs wife left this city
over two years ago are taken into
consideration. 1t is the belief of
Longs daughters, and of his friends
who know Mrs. Long, that it was she
who died in Chicago. And, further, it
is their conviction that she travelled to
Tucson and became the wife of Banker
Sampson, but deserted him and was on
her way back to her husband in this
city when death interviewed. Seeming
ly, she lived happily with her husband
and two daughters, but those who
were very intimate with her knew do
nestle bliss was not real, and she de-
serted him over two years ago, having
taken $1,000 belonging to her husband
The one fact which makes the identity
of the woman at Chicag go possible is
the knowledge of the time when Samp-
son was married to the woman whose
body he believes is buried at Chicago.
If the marriage was performed after
June %, 1892, when Mrs. Long disap-
peared, it is likely both men may be
right in their claims that they had
been married to her, but if the marri-
age was performed before that date
the present mystery is not fully clear
ed up.

THE APPENDICITIS FAD.
Popular Errors About Grape Seeds
Exploded BY a Surgeon.
[From the New York World1

From the New York World!
A prominent doctor who has performed
score Of successful operate for the
removal of that troublesome and inexplic-
able part OF the human anatomy, the YER
inform appendix, says that the general
impression that appendicitis is caused by
the presence in the appendix of cherry
stone or a currant seed or a seed of any
kind is entirely erroneous. ST have not
found seed in the appendix of single
one of my cases." he said ga small bit
OF digested matter gets into little sac,
If the neck of it is far enough open to
receive 1t. 1t may remain there for years
and cause no trouble, and then again it
may bring on appendicitis almost imme-
diately. Where the patient is in good
health, in four cases out of five the ope-
ration for removing the appendix is sue
the length of time taken by surgeons to
perform this, or, in fact, any delicate
operation. There is one surgeon in the
city who has performed the operation in
eighteen minutes, which included the time
from the moment the patient was
brought in on the operating table until
he was ready to be taken out. This is
half the time that it requires the major
ity of skillful surgeons to do it. OF
course, speed is not everything. -
THE appendicitis fad as the craze
among rich people to have their vermi-
form appendices removed is called, still
continues undated, and there are few
surgeons of prominence now who are not
familiar with the performance of the OPP

is constantly ordering the removal of
the vermiform appendix for patients He
was called to see a gentleman one even

jured The gentleman when he recognized
the doctor, said:
ooh. it is you; then I must have appen-
dicitis.''
Doctors who have allowed the appen-
dicitis fad to carry them away have per-
formed the operation upon great many
people whose vermiform appendices were
in good condition, and in some cases pa
