BIG FIRE IN DETROIT.

High Wind ut Time.

A dispatch from Detroit, Mich last
night says: Famed by thirty-hNe-mile-
an-hour wind fire this afternoon swept the
west bank of the Rouge river. in Delray,
suburb to the south of Detroit. for three
auarters of a mile. and destroyed over
$500 900 worth of property.
Following are the losses: Saliotte & Fer
guson, lumber mill, $:0,O0o. covered by In
surance: Brownlee & Co.'S sawmill, Salt
block. and part of their stock Of lumber,
$4,000, insurance, $1,000; the Western

the flames. about s600,0H insurance un-

Fergusons dock. $4,000. insurance un-

The fire originated shortly after o'clock
in the roof of the Saliotte & Ferguson lum-
ber mills. The mill had not been running
for several months and the roof was as
dry as tinder. The building was soon in
ashes and the fire swept across a dock to
where dredge No of the Carkin, Stick
ney & Cram fleet of dredges was tied up.
Despite efforts to save her this craft was
burned to the waters edge. Great embers
were picked up by the wind and dropped
on the roof of Brownlee 4 Co.'S mill and
Salt block, and both these buildings We're
DESTROYED.

APPENDICITIS. A
Argument for and Against the Neces
sity of an Operation.

ArXum 1Of ana AZ inc NcccS-
sity of an Operation.
From the New York Herald.
The announcement that Comte Boni de
Castellane has a mild attack Of appendi-
citis and no operation is required for the
present brings up some very interesting
questions connected with the early and
prompt surgical treatment of this disease
as bearing on his future prospects.
In this country there is strong feeling
among the majority of the medical pro-
fession that operation is the rule rather
than the exception. While 1t cannot be
said that cases do not recover without the
knife, the benefit of doubt is always
given on the side of judicious and active
surgical interference.
A main reason for this assumption is
that the appendix when once affected be-
comes virtually crippled organ which is
liable on the accession of extra infamma-
ton to give serious trouble.
The difficulty in insuring absolute safety
against future seizures rests upon the fact
that there is no telling how soon a fatal
result from peritonitis may be precipitated
by rapidly progressiong ulcerative changes
in the affected organ. Hence among Amer
lean surgeons it Is the common practice
even when patients recover from a prima-
ry attack to take no chances other than
those Of an operatio during what Ia called
an interval of quiescence Of symptoms.
The choice of this period Ia believed to be
an eminently wise one, inasmuch as the
patient Is as free al possible from any
complications of future inflamma tions and
in the most favorable condition for rapid
recovery. From this point of view the
procedure Is rather in the line Of prevent
ing future trouble than in meeting for the
