He COULD FORGIVE HER.
For In His Opinion Mrs. siddons Did Not
Marry an Actor.

For In His Opinion Mrs. Siddons Did Not
Marry an Actor.
Mrs. Siddons, the actress, was born
in 1865 at the Shoulder of Mutton inn,
Brecon. South Wales, of parents con-
neoted with the theater, her father,
Roger Kemble, being a strolling man
ager. The child Sarah, was reared in a
theatrical atmosphere, and at 10 she
was playing Ariel.
AS she grew up she became very
beautiful and had many admirers,
among whom was Henry Siddons, a
young actor in her fathers company,
who had little difficulty in winning the
girls heart Mr.. and Mrs Kemble had
made up their minds that Sarah should
not marry in the profession. in conse.
quence of which they strenuously op.
posed the marriage, and young Siddons,
in a fit of retaliatory humor, composed
a song detailing their opposition and
his trials, which brought about his
speedy dismissal from the company.
Sarah left the company, too, and hired
out as lady IS maid in Warwickshire for
two years.
During this time the lovers carried on
lively correspondence and finally,
gaining the reluctant consent of the
Kembles, were married at Trinity
church, Coventry, in 1878, when Sarah
was 49,
It is said that Mr.. Kemble told her il
she ever married an actor it would
make him discard her forever. After
her marriage he said, Il may forgive
you without breaking my word. for you
have certainly not married an actor,
whatever the gentleman himself may
think is his vocation" This is on au.

Defining Appendicitis.

A teachers examination was held at
Seneca, Kan, at which one Of the ques-
tions in physiology was as follows:
"What is appendicitis. and what are its
causes and cures?" Below are given a
few of the answers as reported in the
Seneca Tribune:
sit is a disease of the appendix,
which is located somewhere between
the liver and the heart, the organ of the
affections. .
"Cosifioation of the marrow of the
longitudinal shaft bone I"
Appendicitis is sunstroke or over
heating, caused by a great heat. The
cure is to get the patient into a cool
place, bathe the face and hand with
water.
''Is the disease of appendice, caused
by want of exercise, improper food,
clothing and ventilation !"
Appendicitis is condition caused
by food substances lodging and causing
blockade in the digestive apparatus.
1t is cured by surgical operation, in
which the obstruction is cut away. A
theory is given that the appendix was
at one time tail ON man and is not yet
evolved off. II is cut away by the sur

DOCTORS AND SUICIDE.
Statistics Show a Peculiar Bond of Sym
pathy Between the Two.

Statistics Show a Peculiar Bond of Sym
pathy Between the Two.
During the last three years, says The
Medical and Surgical Reporter of Phil
adelphia, nearly one-iftieth Of all
deaths among physicians have been by
suicide. This is a conservative estimate,
as many instances of death are attribut-
ed to accidental overdosing, as the tend
ency is always to hush up suicide
whenever possible. But without includ-
ing such cases, the fact remains that
the medical profession is more prone to
suicide than any other. These statistics
may be explained by the development
of morbid fancies in the mind of doc
tor on account of his constant associa-
tion with the sick and dying. or of an
actual Indifference to death, or because
he has the requisite knowledge of how
to die conveniently and painlessly.
Poisoning is a favorite method, but
it does not appear from statistics that
the cyanides or morphine have the pref
erence which would exist if epicurean
philosophy were carried into the choice
of drugs. At the same time, physicians
usually put their knowledge of drugs to
a practical execution in selecting a poi
son for suicide But if the mere knowl-
edge of the painlessness of death by GER
tain means is not determining factor
in leading SO many physicians to sui
eide, probably the accessibility of poi
sons is.
Suicide is largely a matter of insane
impulse, and srch an impulse can often
be ascertained even in the case of those
who have long been indifferent to life
and have contemplated sd ide. If a
man must put on his hat ana vercoat,
walk to drug store and tax Ia inge-
nuity for lie with which to explain his
desire for poison, he may postpone the
fatal act from mere inertia. or he may
meet a friend or have his interest in life
aroused by one of multitude of every
day occurrences or physical exercise may
bring him to his senses. If, as is the
case with almost every doctor, he has
simply to feel III his pocket or walk
across his Office to get deadly poison,
the impulse may be carried into execu-
tion before anything can happen to sup
plant it in the brain.

DECREASE IN IMMIGRATION.

at the Lowest Point Since the Gov
ernment Assumed Jurisdiction.
Washington, Aug. L. - The tide of
immigration is at the lowest point since
the general government assumed juris-
diction of the subject in 1882. The num-
ber Of arrivals from all countries ac-
cording to the treasury statistics dur
ing the last fiscal year was 2S0, 1872, a
decrease as compared with the previous
year Of 112, 435. The lightest immigra-
tion of any previous year was in 1895,
when the number from all countries
was 279,94S. The year of heaviest i'm
migration was the first of the period
beginning with 1882, when arrivals
numbered 7S8,992. During the entire
period of federal supervision 7,432.016
have entered the United States
The arrival of Russian Jews for the
past year numbered 22,750, as against
45, ,137 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1896
Italy furnished the greatest number
of immigrants, 54,431, a decrease of
8.629 from last year. The cause of the
heavy Italian immigration of 1896 was
assigned to the war of Italy with Abys-
sinia, but the figures for the last year
are not abnormal, having been ex-
3ceeded by several years of the period.
Since 1882 there has been a large and
steady decrease in German immigra-
ton. In 1882 ESQ., $50 entered the United
States from that country, while in 1895
only 22.533 arrived. 1t will be seen that
the number of German immigrants
during the first year of government
supervision exceeded the immigration
from all countries during the last year.
immigration from Austria Hungary de-
creased from 55.103 in 1896 to 33,0S1 in
1897. The decrease from other coun-
tries is as follows England, 1892 in
1896 to 1874 in 1897; Sweden, 21.137 to
1914; Norway, S,15S to 5.642; ireland,
40,262 to 2S.4 421.

To flash in light or turn his shaft and

Obe6iient to his iightest touch of hand,

Hands clasped In mine to benefit the race
Each rushing at high-pressure modern

To light lamp or haul city bus,
To whisper mildly Ger the telephone,
To press feather. lift up building stone.

Who hold the reins and make me wear

What matter little tasks daily do
