] ANGTRY AND THE PRINCE

A London letter says: People are
talking and chattering and whispering
and nudging each other industri-
ously about the reconciliation that has
laken place during this week. between
Mrs. Langtry and the Prince OF Wales.
At Newmarket the other day the
Prince sent for Lilly" and they met in
the inclosure with every appearance of
pleasure and cordiality on both sides.
The smart sporting folk grouped about
stood paralyZed with astonishment; the
staring masses outside the inclosure
gaped with grati6ed curiosity. Since
that little incident of the lump
of ice and the heir apparent's
oack, no matter how many
years ago, the beautiful Langtry and
the popular prince had not met. No
wonder the people of all classes and
conditions stared and whispered. The
Langtry had won the Cesarewitch and
the priuca had sent for her. Could any
body wish for mort? Evidently Mrs.
Lapgtry did not. For not decade of
years had she looked go radiantly
hansome as when she received the con-
gratulations of Ler future King. She
was exceedingly neatly and smartly
gowned in her favorite dark blue cloth,
with white revers. She carried atight-
ly rolled dark blue umbrella with a
superb repousse silver handle encrust-
ed with turquoise, and the inevitable
black poodle, Satan, think he is call
ed, attached to a silver chain, clung
close to her skirts the eutire time.

Paul, on the petition of Postmaster
Payne, issued temporary injunction

sheriff from interfering with the post
master and his omnibus postoffice,

injunction should not be perpeiuated

NAT URE AND CAUSE OF APPEN-
DTG1TTS

Judging from the reports so frequent
ly made in the daily press, it would ap-
pear that appendicitis is not only on
he increase, but that it seems to have
a special prediction for prominent
persons. Contrary to popular belief,
however, it is no more frequent nor
elective in its occurrence than formerly.
1t is simply new name for the very
old and very common trouble known as
peritonitis, or Inflammation OF the bow
els, which, until lately and before opsr
ative treatment was instituted, always
ended in death.
The trouble having been traced to
tie liberation or rupture Of an inham-
ed appendix, causing the fatal peritoni-
tis, the early removal of the diseased
organs very naturally suggested the
proper line of treatment. 1t is, perhaps,
not generally known by the public that
the various foreign bodies, such as grape
seeds, cherry pits and the concretions
usually found in the appendix, are
merely accidental consequences Of the
infam nation rather than causes Of it.
To such as never eat grape without a
certain misgiving it may be COM
torting to learn that it is very
rare circumstance to find a seed
of the fruit lodged in the appendix. In
fact, it is now proven that aside from
the Intestinal concretions which real
ly form in the organ after the latter
becomes diseased there is scarcely an
average proportion of three per cent in
which foreign bodies, dstinctively SO
called, are discovered. That these ac-
cidental or deposited substances arf
aot absolutely necessary for the pro-
d1clion of the disease is shown by their
entire absence in a goodly number OF
ths most severe cases. Among the lat
rer may be mentioned recent instance
which has claimed much putlic atten-
ion.
The real cause of the disease is associ-
a'ed with the destructive ten ienci.s OF
d peculiar microbe called the colon
bacillus, which always exists in the in.
t. tine, and is absoluttl ly harmless until
an inflammation or injury OF theappen
dix gives it an opportunity for the de,
velopment of malignent qualities. The
microbes then multiply with reat ru-
!idity, penetrate the walls of tie wea :
ened organ, intensity he indAmm ii n,
and finally escape into the abdominal
cavity by liberation or rupture of the
'ube, thus producing Il f.tal or septic
psritonitis.-[ New York Herald.
