The Bicycle and Appendicitis.

New York Letter.
The friends of Rev. DIR. Wilton Merle
Smith are cOngratulating him that his little
daughter has escaped the peril of appendi-
citS because of the successful operation
performed a few days ago. Whether her
affection was due to the use of the bicycle
or not of course, cannot be affirmed but
physicians say that, since spring opened
the number of cases of appendicitis. espe-
cially of girls from ten to fifteen years Of
age. has increased more than so per cent.
One of the ablest authorities at the Belle
vue Medical College said this morning that
he had been compelled to change his view
which al one time was that the use of the
wheel did not and could not cause this
dread disease. The records of the hospital
shows that the number of cases has in
creased 80 per cent. since the use of the BIZ
cycle became general, and in a majority of
cases the patient was a devotee of the
wheel.
1t is, however, the abuse of the wheel and
not its use which. in his opinion, is the
cause of the trouble. but he believes thar
children, and especially girls of from ten
to fifteen years of age, would be better of
and would escape much of the danger Of
appendicitis IL they were not permitted eto
use wheels.

PATHS HUSBAND DYING.
Tenderly Cared for at Her Castle by
the Great SOngstress.

LONDON, July 5.-There seems little
doubt that NicOlini is dying. He is suffer-
ing from Bright's disease and a complica-
ton of other disorders, and although he
may live for months he may die at any
time. From a friend of Madame Patti, who
has just returned from a visit to her at
Craig-y-Nos, it is learned that Nicolini is
greatly emaciated and spends most of his
time in bed He gets up occasionally, but
is scarcely able to tOtter across the room
without help. Both Nicolini and Madame
Patti are aware of the serious character of
his illness, and it is touching to see the
absolute devotion of the two. Nicolini can
not bear to have her out of his sight for a
moment. She sits by him nearly all the
time He does not like to be read to or
sung to or talked to, but simply lies list
lessly with his eyes following Madame
Patti around the room. Nicolni is an ex-
pert fisherman, and it was pathetic to see
him the other day lingering a book of
fishes, and saying, regretfully: Just think
of those fish,
Within the past few months eleven doc
tors have been at the castle of Craig-y-Nos
consulting in regard to the case Madame
Patti had made great preparations for en-
tertaining this summer, but all guests in
GLIDING the Princess of Monaco, have been
put off. NicOlini had another hemorrhage
engagement to sing at Albert Hall on Tues
pose, but returned Immediately after the
concert
