THE CERvERA TESTIMONIAL
How the Idea Originated at Sidney in
This state.
From the Uticd Obssrrsr

Your editorial In last Fridays issue IN
which there appeared quotation from
The Sun editorial Of July 81, on the subject
Of the proposed Admiral Cervera testimon-
ial. attracted general interest and apprecia-
ton In the village Of Sidney
The proposition to present the gallant
Cervera with testimonial or loving cuo
had Its inception In this village and was
originally made by Editor Bird Of the
Sidney Record. who promptly interested
our citizens In the organization OF Ger
vera Testimonial Association. for tho
purpose Of starting national movement.
This association includes In its member.
ship the names Of our most prominens
business men, who have at heart the suc-
cess Of this movement.
As result Of Sidney's initiatory step
in this matter the news Of the testimonial
has been spread broadcast throughout
nearly every State in the Union,
The American, ever | pulsive and al
ways generous, has recognized. already
through the most influential newspapers and
letters that pour in by every mail that the
Cervera testimonial in recognition Of his
klnQntsS 10 I1ODsOH Uls brave ltllb
band, as well as his magnaminity and
chivalry. is worthy OF strong national
support.
The object Of this testimonial has been
misunderstood by few leading papers,
notably the Evening Post Of New York
city. In their editorial column they labor
under the misapprehension that this test.
monial is intended as & token Of good will
from the American people to the Spanish.

who would subscribe for a testimonial Of
that kind.
1t would be puerie. II would wound
the feelings OF a nation with whom We
desire to cultivate amity. good VIII and
friendly relations.
The object Of this testimonial is friendly
greeting to the gallant and chivalric Spanish
Admiral who was good to Hobson; the sans
Castilian hero who, at the risk OF censilre
from his superiors, went out Of his way N

The Present Condition OF the Eastern

Egyptian Empire in the Eastern Soudan.
which was overthrown by the Mahdi
and his successor, the Khalifa ABDULAHI.
Not only have peace and order been re-
established throughout the wide region,
but there is already revival of industry
and prosperity.
1t will be remembered that in 1894
England leased the Province Of Bahr-
el-Ghazal to the Congo Free State in
return for the lease Of a strip Of land
between Lake Tanganyika and the Nile
basin, which strip was to form a link
in the route Of the proposed railway
from the Cape to Cairo. Owing TO the
opposition of Germany and France.
this interchange Of leases had to be re-
nounced, but until the other day some
stations In the Bahr-el-Ghazal were still
occupied by Belgian garrisons. 1t was
this anomalous state of things, Belgium
having no legal claim and Egypt having
constructively forfeited its original title
by non-user. that prompted the French
desire to secure the territory, a desire
which led to the Marchand expedition
and the Fashoda incident. In return
for certain concessions made by Lord
SALISBURY in the zone of Central Africa,
which lies south of the Sahara, France
agreed to withdraw the pretensions
that she might have based on the Mar
chand expedition, and to recognize
Egypt's right to the Bahr-el-Ghazal.
The theoretical right has now been
translated into fact, Soudanese force
under Col. SPARKEs having occupied
Meshra-er-Rek, Fort Desaix, Jur Ghattas
and Rumbek, important strategic points
In the province, whence the Belgians,
on their part, have retired The British
have also established post on the right
bank OF the Nile within two hours Of
Lado, and have thus restored oommuni-
cation between Uganda and the Soudan.

and Rumbek and Jur Ghattas were
formerly Egyptian stations on the road
leading westward from the Nile.
It is to be noted that the Bahr-el-
Ghazal province il valuable not only
by reason OF the fact that much of the
land is forest-covered. and contains
abundant iron ore of good quality, but
also because it affords the only land

for Italy the wished-for independence az

The Removal of the Human stomach.

It is more than thirty years since
JOSEPH LISTER, now Lord LISTER,
inaugurated the new antiseptic and
aseptic surgery. During that period
surgical technique has been resolved
almost entirely into the exclusion Of
germs from wounds made in operations,
and operations are now performed with
impunity which, in old times would have
been regarded by surgeons as simply
murderous. No organ that Is not i'm
mediately essential to life escapes the
knife. The general public even, has
become accustomed to reports in the
press of removals of diseased spleens,
kidneys, portions of the liver, intestines,
and, lately, removal Of the stomach.
When the German surgeon, SCHIATTER,
In 1895, reported his case of complete
removal Of the stomach, the patient
surviving for several months, it became
really a question whether this organ,
while certainly great convenience,
was absolutely necessary to fair health
and physical comfort. The results OBJ
tanned by many operators, both here
and abroad, seem to show that a person
may live fairly well without stomach.
In 1898 the entire stomach was taken
from a woman in the Norwegian Hos
pital, Brooklyn, for deno-carcinoma.
The woman had suffered intensely, and
was reduced in weight from one hundred
and forty pounds to ninety. After the
stomach had been removed and the
esophagus joined to the intestine, the
suffering was relieved and improve
ment continued for seventeen months,
when she was lost sight Of. In six
months she had gained thirty pounds
In weight. There are other cases on
record showing similar results.
That many writer's on physiology
have greatly exaggerated the impor-
tanoe Of the stomach in digestion is GER
tain. The stomach serves as Q re-
oeptaole for food. II prepares food for
intestinal digestion, which Is BY far tho
most important part Of tho digestive
process, and passes II slowly out - it y
thoroughly prepared. It has an an
tiseptio action. arresting putrsfactivs

But whom We arc told that the entire
police force Of New York has been
thrown into Q state Of CONSERVATION
and Generalization by the disclosures
Of yesterday, following 30 closely upon
the conviction Of BIssERr, We must
either doubt the statement or deplore
the fact. According to casual observa-
ton, the New York policemen were
performing their routine duties yester-
day with their accustomed fidelity and
intelligence. On the surface, at least,
there was no sign Of wholesale demoral-
ization.
In pursuing the guilty, whoever and
wherever they may be, it ID quite essen
tial to remember that the great majority
Of the officers composing the police OF
this metropolis are, like the great ma
jority Of their fellow citizens, honest
men and Trustworthy persons. Their
continued perception Of the general
confidence of tie public is necessary to
the successfasS performance OF their
functions as guardians Of life and prop
erty and preservers OF peace and order
in New York.
No greater misfortune could happen
to the city than the sudden demoraliza-
ton Of its police force, proceeding from
the consciousness on the part Of its
innocent and respectable members that
they were as a body being hunted and
bounded, and were as individuals the
objects Of unjust suspicious and sweep
ing accusations.
