4 Johnny Bull VIII Soon Own Cuba,

Sir William Van Horn of Canada,
has been here talking with Secre-
tary Root on the subject of his
railroads in Cuba. He has no
charter or franchise Of any sort,
but has bought up nearly all of the
existing railways in the island, and
is extending them, taking the
chances of trouble in the future.
Some of these railways have fran
chises which permit them to ex-
tend their tracks, and Others have
none, but it makes no difference to
Sir William. He is buying his
right of way for cash just as he
would buy any other property, and
is laying steel rails upon it just as
he would build house or sugar
mill or fence on farm. In this
enterprise he is showing the same
energy and ability which charac-
terized his construction of the
Canadian Pacific. He has pur-
chased large areas of forest, graz
ing and agricultural land, which
he expects to develop on the
American plan by establishing
colonies, introducing saw-mills,
manufactures and other industries
that will give employment to the
people and utilize the timber, the
minerals and the natural products
of the soil. A syndicate of i'm
mense wealth stands behind him,
which has already subscribed
$25, 900, 900 to carry out the enter
prise and will furnish as much
more as may be necessary.

STEWART NJ. BRICE SENT TO JAIL.
Son of the Late Senator, New York
Councilman, Punished for Con-
tempt of Court.

New YORK, April 21 1.-Justice
Scott in the supreme court today
handed down a decision adjudging
Councilman Stewart M. Brice, son
of the late ex-senator Brice, guilty
of contempt of court and sentenc-
ing him to ten days in the county
jail and to pay fine of $473.
The decision is the outcome of
the contempt proceedings brought
against Brice and several city Of
ficials in the trouble over the new
hall of records. Nearly two years
ago, as the result of the mandamus
proceedings, the supreme court
issued an order directing the COM
mon council to pass upon certain
amount of bonds in connection
with the erection of the hall of re-
cords. Some of the councilmen
refused to obey the order. Subse-
quently the matter was settled and
the officials purged themselves of
their contempt by passing the bond
issue.
Mr.. Brice fought the matter in
the supreme court and contempt
proceedings in his case have been
pending ever since.

"Dread Appendicitis"

On March 11th of this year, DR..
A. j. Davis, Of Mansfield, wrote
the following letter to the Enquirer
on the subject of Appendicitis. 1t
is red-hot. He said, in part:
81 read with unusual interest your
article in to-day's paper headed
"Dread Appendicitis. 2" The cap
tion was wrong. 1t should have
been, "Dread Appendicitis Sur
geons." :" There is an epitaph in a
Missouri cemetery which reads as
follows:
"He has left us. He's now among the blest; !;
He got appendicitis and the doct ors did the
rest.n
From the record of deaths that
have followed the operation for ap-
pendicitis, it ought to be made a
crime for surgeon to perform it.
There is not case on record where
it can be positively shown that ap-
pendicitis, without an operation,
ever caused death. Autopsies
have shown diseased appendix, it
is true. But I defy the fraternity
to show an instance where the in
flammation or suppuration of an
appendix disclosed by an autopsy
is creditably recorded as the cause
of the death.
Every death on record directly
accredited to appendicitis is where
an operation was performed, and
so per cent of those operated on
die. In every recorded case where
death followed the operation the
patient is reported to have had ap-
pendicitis. What an appalling re-
cord of murderous fad confronts
us when we look up it's history
The vermiform appendix has been
known to anatomists for centuries.
Its use in the organism was not and
is not now known. No attempt
has ever been made to attribute to
it a theoretical use, either in anat-
omy or physiology. 1t was re-
garded among anatomists as a SUI
pernumerary, if it was an organ
Not until Darwin announced the
theory of evolution was any at
tempt made to account for it's
presence among the abdominal
viscera.
1t has only been within the last
25 or 30 years that the world ever
heard of appendicitis. Then all
at once it was discovered that grape
seeds was the cause of it. Then
the butchers commenced to sharpen
their knives. Some man or woman
of sedentary life would neglect
their bowels. A fullness and
pain would appear in the abdominal
region A quart of warm water,
little soap and a syringe would
have cured it in 10 minutes. But
they call the surgeon and then the
undertaken. 1t would have been
more humane to have cut his
throat.
Legislatures will never do their
duty until they stop the murderous
practice by making it a felony pun
ishable by Imprisonment in the
penitentiary The fad will 60 as
it came, and within twenty years a
surgeon who will go to ripping
open a human being with a meat
ak to take out a little senseless
remnant of fast disappearing gut
will be dealt with summarily.
Open the columns of the Enquirer
for the opinions Of the public, pro-
fessional and otherwise, who have
had experience with appendicitis
surgeons, and it will be revelation
to your readers

At least neither better or worse than

as on the stage was great coquette.
Who has not lived through like

I was what is generally called a

thousand follies I had committed for
her, the pretty comedienne declared
that she would never see me or hear
my name again.

A paragraph in an American paper
the other day estimated the number of
British troops in South Africa at 29O,-
900. A London newspaper just at hand
furnishes material to correct these fig
ures. for, making careful summary
OF all available forces, it finds that,
with the re-enforcements sent out a
month ago and the new Australian
contingent, the total British armed
strength in South Africa is 400, 900.
The forces under Generals De Wet and
Botha being estimated at from 1000 to
1000 men, it appears that the British
are able to surround each fighting
burgher with from 100 to 200 men. a
disparity of strength probably without
precedent in the history of warfare.

We reap as We have sown.

Hay lozenges are the popular confec

Hay lozenges are the popular confec-
rionery among army horses in the
Philippines and South Africa. The
food, or rather the form of it, is a
Yankee invention called into existence
by the circumstances of war in a coun-
try lacking good roads. Hay put up in
the ordinary bale cannot be trans
ported on horseback because Of its
weight and bulk. 1t is therefore com
pressed by powerful machinery into
diameter and two inches thick. The
disks are packed in rolls like the
lozenges the train-boys sell, and hung
in slings from the horses back, one
on each side. A single lozenge, when
broken up and opened out, makes a
meal for horse or mule, and will cure
him Of that hungry feeling as quickly
as mangerful Of fresh hay. The
compactness Of the new bale also
means a great saving in freight.
