Thus far cancer has been treated

'osepn Hatfield, proprietor of the
fremont hotel. Marion, Ind, had re-
larkaDie experience recently. Fur
nearly twenty years he has been q suf-
ierer from pain in the right lung and
physicians have given him up AZ a
hopeless consumptive. Recently he
mad had number of hemorrhages tn.
day he had another attack and felt
something dislodge from the spot in
his lung that had given him so much
pain. The foreign substance was torn
loose and coughed up. On examination
1t was found to be tooth that had
been lodged in the lung for nearly 20
years. Mr.. Hatfield says that about
20 years ago he had a number of teeth
extracted and that gas was admins
tered to relieve the pain and that the
tooth must have passed down his
throat while he was unconscIous.-St.

Sick people don't like to be stared
at. They are morbidly sensitive To
look surprised at the change sickness
has wrought is annoying, and, worse
than that, it is disheartening. and
makes invalids imagine their case to
be worse than 1t is. Therefore, don't
stare at sick person, and don't stand
at the back of the bed to make him
turn his eyes round to see you. AL
ways sit by the bedside, for the patient
feels more at rest than if you stand
up tall before him. And don't whisper:
don't talk in low voice; don't follow
the doctor or a caller out into the next
room. The invalid will be absolutely
certain that you are discussing him.
Don't wear garments that rustic or are
made of rough clothing, to come into
contact with hands made tender by
sickness, and don't wear creaking
boots or thick-soled boots.

several, and especially one, where the
American element is So large that the
Mexicans working in the mines under
them are obliged by circumstances to
learn tn speak the English language,
1t being easier for them than 1t Is for
the Americans to learn to speak Span
ish. And then 1t sometimes Is neces-
sary for them to do so in order to OBJ
tain employment.
In various other ways is the Ameri-
can element gradually regulating the
industrial side of Mexico. In Archi-
tectural work, in civil engineering and
in many other directions the Mexican
government appears to be initiating
the North American ideas of civiliza-
ton more than the European. And
with all these advances toward be-
coming Amerlcanized the people of
the country apparently are not aware
of the inevitable future of the country.
They have no special hatred for the
Americans who have invaded their do
mains, nor do they appear to think Of
what will come Of the rapid develop
ment of the American ideas. They are
said to figure only from ii commercial
viewpoint. For example. 1t is thought
that for every dollar taken out Of the
mines by the Americans double that
amount is put into it in the way of i'm
povements in conducting the work. So
1t Is along other lines.

Horace GrecIey's Granddaughter Is q
Prodigy.
There are not many boys of 16 who
can construct electric motors, induc-
ton coils, pocket telegraph and make
apparatus by which the Marconi sys-
tenn of wireless telegraphy can be sep
arated.
Edwin C. Donnell, little New York
lad, who enjoys the distinction of a
grand-nephewship to Horace Greeley,
has mastered all these electrical mys-
teries, and bids fair to be the twentieth
century Edison.
Young Donnell is regarded as an cleo
trical wonder by his family and
friends. He has always been Thoughts
full and studious boy. Three years ago
he picked up weekly publication for
boys and girls and read an article on
electricity. 1t aroused his keenest in
terest. From that day to this he has
devoted his spare time to the study of
electrical laws, and after many months
Of solid effort, his reward has been the
construction Of wireless telegraph
system, based on the ideas of Marconi.
His ambition Is now to telegraph
across the Hudson River, according to
the Marconi system.

COAL OF THE WORLD.

The coal production and consump-
ton Of the world during the last fif-
teen years are presented in some tables
just prepared by the treasury bureau
of statistics. These show that while
the United Kingdom is still the largest
coal producer of the world, the United
States is a close second, and if the
present rate of gain is continued, will
soon become the leading coal-produc-
ing country of the world, says the
Scientific American. The coal produc-
ton of the United Kingdom in 1897
was 2O2,000,000 tons; that of the
United States, 179,0O0,0O0 tons; Ger
many, 91,000,000; France, 30,000,000
Belgium, 22,OOO,OOO; Austria-Hungary,
12,OOO,OO0; Russia, nearly 1O,00o,OO0;
Australasia, nearly 100000; Japan,
over 100000; British India, 100000;
Canada, nearly 100000, and Spain,
100000, while no other country
reached 100000 tons in production.
AS an exporter of coal the United
States takes low rank in proportion to
Its production, ana starls fourth in
the list of coal-exporting countries. In
1897 the expectations of coal from the
United Kingdom were 100000 tons;
from Germany, 100000 tons; from
Belgium, over 100000 and from the
United States, little less than 4,O0O,-
900, though in 1898 the quantity ex-
ported was slightly above 100000
tons. Australasia comes next to the
United States as coal-exporting
country, her exports amounting to
nearly 100000 tons, while France ex-
ported about 100000, Japan 100000
and Canada about 1,250,000 tons in
1897.
France is the largest coal-importfng
country, her importations in 1897 be-
ing nealy 100000 tons, while Ger
many imported 100000; Austria
Hungary, 100000; Italy, 4,25O,O00;
Canada, nearly 100000; Belgium,
nearly 100000; Russia, 100000;
Sweden, over 100000; the United
States, nearly 100000; Australasia,
100000 tons, while no other country
imported as much as 100000 tons.
Great Britain is the largest con-
sumer of coal in proportion to popu-
lation, her coal consumption in 1897
being 1897 tons per capita that of Bel
GUM 2.70 tons, the United States 2.42,
Germany, 1.5S, Canada, las, France.
OBS, Australasia 0.97, Sweden O.50,
Austria Hungary O.37, Spain 0.19, Italy
O.13, Russia 0.09 and Japan 0.O7 of
ton per capita.

Washington, Sept 22.-At cabinet
meeting today the subject of Chinese
exclusion in the Philippines was dis
cussed at some length. 1t was decided
to ask Otis for definite information as
70 what has been done ard especially in
regard to the particular complaint from
the Chinese minister that one ship load
has been stopped. Otis will be asked to
give the reasons why this action was
taken.
The telegram from Otis relating to the
occupation of churches by United States
troops in the Philippines was read and
discussed. No orders will be sent to
Otis on this topic, as it is regarded as
part of warfare to occupy churches.
The subject of postal matters in Cuba
and Porto Rico was considered and it
was decided to reduce the rate in Porto
Rico from 5 cents to cents, allowing
the same regulations to prevail as in
Cuba.
The navy department today received

BRYAN SPEAKS IN NEBRASKA.
Addresses Audiences at North Bend
and wahoo-Talks of Free Coin


Omaha, Neb.. Sept. 22-specials from
North Bend and Wahoo state that Will
liam Jennings Bryan spoke to large au-
diences there yesterday. The afternoon
meeting at North Bend was particulars
~ noteworthy in that a large number of
farmers attended. Mr.. Bryan directed
his talk largely to the farmers, and be-
gan to discuss the money question
With great earnestness he advocated
the doctrine of free coinage of silver
reiterating the declaration so often
made that the question had not been
settled right and would not down.
Last evening at the Wahoo meeting
the announcement was made that the
republican stae platform adopted at
Omaha declared unequvocally for the
gold standard and few republicans in
the audience had the temerity to ap-
plaud. This was sufficient to direct
Mr. Bryan's argument to the money
question. to which he devoted consider
able time.

Cook County. M. Taxes.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-CoolS eounty's total
assessed valuation of real and personal
as fixed by the board of asses
sors is sS63,59s 442, as against $lI9,1l0.-

the entire county Were completed yes
terday and viii be sent to the board of
review. They show total valuation for
real estate in the county of 1902. sos, ,692
The result will prove a disappointment
to the members of the reviewing body
and TO many people interested in the
success of the new law. That it will
prove so is due largely to the fact that
the public has been led to believe that a
total valuation of at least $500, 900, 900
would be obtained, and upon this basis
it was asserted the tax rate could be
kept within 5 per cent.
The board of review will make an at
tempt TO approximate the high-water
mark, but in order TO so it will be COM
PEELED to find nearly s100, 900, 900 added
values in real estate. The board is
practically through with its review of
personal property values, and has sue
ceeded in adding between 100000, 600 and
$50 100000 to the assessors figures. This
will bring the total up to nearly $780,
