Rheumatism Is Infectious.

DR.. Jaccond, French authority, be-
lieves that acute rheumatism is infec-
tious, that the pharynx, tonsils and any
tissue showing lesion may allow the
organism to enter. A case is quoted in
which a wound in the foot was blamed
for admitting the disease. A person
suffering from tonsilitis is in great
danger of contracting rheumatism If
exposed. The child of a mother who
had the disease in an acute form, in
12 hours from birth developed pyrexia
with pain and swelling of the joints,
all of which gave way to salicylate of
soda by the end of week. This, the
doctor thinks, shows strongly the in
fectious nature of rheumatism.

CAUSE oF APPENDICITIS.
The Means for Prevention Are very
simple.

Simple.
What does happen in appendicitis Is
the following: The bowels are almost
invariably neglected and improperly
cared for. Fecal matter aceumulates
and causes various disturbances at diff
ferent points. Fecal matter in a liquid
state is absorbed by the tissues, OF
which the appendix forms a part After
getting into the cavity of the appendix
the liquid portions are taken up,
process which might be considered as
similar to evaporation from the out
side of the body, while the solid por-
tion, no longer held in solution, is de-
posted, forming aconeretion. This ma
terial, as you can well understand, has
more of the same constantly added to
it, till finally, as a foreign body, 1t starts
up inflammation, which causes perfora-
tion Of the appendix and all its attend
ing complications and consequences.
When these conditions are TO be
present in your own case you will not
be able to tell, but you can rely on this
that if you have the very bad habits
which belong to the masses Of Ameri-
can people in respect to eating, care of
the body, etc, you are likely to have
the disease at any time. Bathe prop
erly, exercise properly, eat properly
and keep the bowels SO free that you
cannot reabsorb your own excremen',
and the chances are that yon will re-
main quite healthy and you will not be
obliged to call upon any of us to re-
move your appendix for you.

Prejudices, which are from within,
cause more poverty than ralamities,
which are from without. Many q mar
whose life has been disturbed 1y phys
ical disaster has been brought to desti-
tuition by prejudices, which are the
thieves of mental and spiritual treasure,
as procrastination is the thief Of time.
We pity the feeble creature who has
been prejudiced against apples by an
untoothsome crab apple; but those who
are by no means feeble-minded have
been prejudiced against sentiment by
sentimentality, against emotion by
emotionality. And yet, without senti-
ment one would not be susceptible to
noble and tender feeling; without emo

An amusing story is told Of how the
late Lord Fitzgerald discounted a
treasury official who was sent over
from England to complain of the cx-
cessive expenditure for coal in the lord
chief Justices court. He received the
man and listened gravely and formally
while the latter stated his errand and
enlarged upon the Importance of econ
omy in the matter of fuel. At the con-
clusion Of the discourse he rang the
bell, and, when the servant appeared,
said: Tell Mary that the man has come

The ancients, in order to enjoy the
scent of roses at meals, had an abund-
ance of the fragrant petals rained down
upon the guests. Heligobalus, in his
folly, carried the matter so far that the
clouds of blossoms he ordered shaken
down after one of his banquets actually
suffocated some Of his friends. The
Romans, during their meals, reclined
on cushions stuffed with rose leaves or
made couch of the leaves themselves.
The floor, too, was strewn with lovely
blossoms. Cleopatra, at an enormous
expense, procured roses for feast,
which she prepared for Antony; they
were laid two cubits thick on the floor
of the banquet room, and nets were
then spread over the fragrant bed to
give an elastic footing. - Chicago

WhmN NSANAu Sukcy Lost
"In plain United States language
can tell you, Rufus, how il comes to
pass that Miss Sukey Sellers (Savin
Suckey as the boys now call her) lost
the best and l reckon the onlyest
chance she ever had to mate OF with
man person and fulfill the Scrip
lures. Like all the rest of the female
creation, no doubts Miss Sukey is
good and sweet and great comfort to
the old folks, but from general Op-
pearments it would seem like when the
good Lord was rainin down beauty and
brains on the human race she was un-
der the cowshed or ridin in a covered
wagon.
"But when Jerry lost his first wife
he was left with nine children to fetch
up and four cows to milk, and marry
woman on the place. Well, the next
thing we knowed Jerry he was courtin
Miss Sukey to beat six bits and oncst
more the settlement was threatened
with fiddlin and dancin and another
weddin match. Nobody couldn't blame
Jerry, and i was raley glad TO hear the
news, so fur as Miss Sukey was con-
cerned. ! was punchin up the chunks
as best could and loolIin for the com
mittee to report every day when, dad
blame it, Miss Sukey took and throwed
all the fat in the fire.
"0ncst upon time-way back there
in his young days-Jerry Diggers had
got into the courts about somethin or
other in regards to another mans
watch. Somehow it would seem like
the watch had kinder took up with
Jerry. The other man swore that
Jerry stole the watch, but heap Of
people didn't believe It, and when the
trial come off jerry was cleared and
turned loose. But 1t hurt him mighty
bad, and forever after that ne never did
love to talk about that watch, or any
other watch, or anything which would
put him in mind of watch. Thought
everybody in the country had heard all
about Jerry's trouble with the watch.
But as it turned out Miss Sukey was the
onlyest person which hadn't heard the
news and didn't know that Jerry was
techy on the subject of watches. And
one day after they had made all their
arrangements to come on across as man
and wife Jerry rid by the Sellers place
on his way to town. Miss Suhey caught
sight of him, and she was so restless
for fear he wouldn't stop in passin till
she had to switch out on the front
porch and hail him.
"'Oh, Jerryl' says she, what time of
day is it by your watch?'
Right there, Rufus, she broke all
the eggs in one pile. Then Jerry rid
on down the road. lie didn't respond
back to say blame thing, and so fur
as he is concerned Miss Sulkey don't
know till yet what time Of day II was.

WHERE IS PINGREE?
The Governor of Michigan Lost,
Strayed or Stolen.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept 27.-Some of
Gov. Pingree's friends are becoming
uneasy as the time goes by and his
whereabouts is not located. The gov
ernor left Detroit two weeks ago, sup
rosedly for trip down East, accom-
panied by Gen. Arthur L. Bresler and
Col Eli B. Sutton. Gen. Bresler has
now returned to the city saying he
has been in New York city for the
past two weeks and knows nothing of
the governor The only clue to his
whereabouts is found in a dispatch
from Curacao, West Indies, saying the
governor and Col. Sutton are figuring
on securing railroad concession from
the Venezuelan government. j. B.
Howarth, one of Mr.. Pingree's partners
in the shoe business, says he does net
know what the governor is doing in
South America, and many of his init
mate friends think that, if he has gone
south at all, it is on a pleasure trip,
seeking a rest. Careful inquiry as TO
his whereabouts at the governors res
idence fails to elicit any information,
but no positive alarm has yet been
expressed by his family.

HELD BY BaNDITTI.
Ransom Demanded for Two,
Americans in Europe.

TOLEDO, o., Sept. 27-Harry Toll
lerton, aged twenty, son of Attorney
E. W. Tollerton, and Prof. J. Holmes,
of Meadeville, Pa, college, have been
travelling in Southern Europe since
June 1, but now no one knows where
they are, and circumstances indicate
that both are held by Swiss banditti,
who are demanding a ransom for their.
release. They were last heard from
on Sept. 8 at Martigny, Switzerland.
A few days previous to that they ha6
received sufficient funds through Ge-
neva to provide them with money for
the rest of their trip to Berlin, where
both were to enter the university this
month. Mr.. Tollerton received a cable
gram from Prof. Holmes, dated Lu-
cerne, requesting an immediate remit
tance of 1000 by cable to Cologne. He
cabled the United States consul at Luz
cerne for information as to the where
abouts of the young men, and whether
any trouble had befallen them, and
also cabled to Holmes for particulars.
The reply from the consul was indeh-
mite and unsatisfactory and that pur-
porting to be from Holmes was ever
more So A second demand for 81 900
was made on the 23d of this month,
asking that the money be cabled TO
Lucerne. Last Saturday a third de-
mand was made for an immediate ca
BILE of $500 to Lucerne. and the re-
naming $500 by mail Today a mes
sage was received from Assistant Sec
retary Day, at Washington, to the ef-
feet that the minister at Berne and
the consul at Horgen had been cabled

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 27.-
Warmer weather in the past two or
three days has had the effect of in
creasing to some extent the number of
new cases of the prevailing type OF
yellow fever, but it has equally had the
effect of sending down the death rate.
There were twenty-three cases on
Saturday, seventeen yesterday and UP
to half past 6 o'clock today twenty
one. But there were only two deaths
on Saturday, none on Sunday and two
today, Present experience therefore
proves that warm weather adds to the
number of cases, but reduces the NOR
tality, while cold weather diminlshes
the number of cases and enlarges the
death rate Physicians and the au-
thorities tonight generally agree that
the situation is steadily improving.
They believe the chances are growing
more remote every day of an epidemic
and that there is little likelihood that
the disease will assume before cold
weather comes a more virulent form
than at present.
Prof. Metz, who is at the head of the
work of sanitation and who superln-
tends the fumigation of all houses,
said tonight: Some little figuring that
I have done discloses the fact that
there have been up to half past s
O'Clock tonight exactly 15S cases. OF
these nineteen have died, and I am
able to state this evening that thirty
eight have been actually discharged
as entirely recovered. Therefore there
remain only 101 cases, and While I
should not like to undertake a state
ment of the number of those practical
ly on the way to recovery, the death
rate among them with the present con-
ditions will be small. The death rate
tonight is barely above IL per cent"
This is the record at nightfall: New cases

ARE FATALLY INJURED.
Victims OF The First Affack Returned 10 The

and Guns-Yerdicf Rendered
at HazIeTOn.

GIRARDVILLE, Pa, Sept. 27.-At
least nine men received fatal injuries
and possibly two score others were
more or ess seriously wounded in
bloody riot here last night and early
this morning. The battle was the out
come of a quarrel over the Hazleton
trouble Thirty-siX men are known %
have been wounded, and about fifty
more are being secreted by their
friends, who fear that they will be
sent to Jail. Twelve of the ringlead-
ers were brought before Justice Elias
Kissinger and ten before Justice H. 3.
johnson. All were charged with as
sault with intent to kill, house break
ing and rioting, and were held in heavy
bail for court. Many more warrants
have been issued, but have not been
served as yet.
DR.. Charles Schlesman attended
twenty-five of the wounded, nine. of
whom he says will die. Drs. William
Monaghan and James Donahue attend
ed to fourteen others, and how many
the other physicians cared for is not
known Three other men have been
reported dead, but this cannot be ver-
flied yet, on account of the uncommu-
nicative nature Of the participants.
The story of the riot is as follows:
Several hundred Polanders board at
William Culacabbage's hotel on Second
street. Joseph Cavendish is proprietor
of a hotel at the East end of town,
where several hundred more Polanders
make their headquarters. Bad blocd
has existed between them for long
time: and the recent strike troubles at
HazIeton embittered them still more.
Last night matters came to Crisis.
Culacabbage, it is charged, and his
followers to the number Of several
hundred, arming themselves with guns,
revolVers, knives, axes and clubs,
marched to Cavendish'S hotel, where
several hundred Of their enemies were
celebrating pay day. The Cavendish
men ascertained that their foes were
marching on them, and, arming them
selves hurriedly, awaited their arrival.
After a demonstrative march, the Cul-
acabbage contingent arrived and I'M
mediately stormed the saloon. Then
bloody battle ensued. The men fought
like demons, the shooting was fast and
furious-axes, knives, clubs and other
weapons were used with deadly effect.
The battle lasted almost an hour,
