APPENDICITIS.
Some Facts Regarding Its Rapid In
crease.

Some Facts Regarding Its Rapid In
crease.
Appendicitis among Americans is
certainly increasing and while this is
probably due to the excitement and
worry of American business life, it is
more often directly traceable to con-
stipation. Appendicitis is caused by
extraneous matter entering the vermi-
form appendix and not by the swallow
ing of seeds. If the digestive organs
are kept in perfect condition so the
food is duly assimulated and the
bowels move gently, at least once u
day, appendicitis will never develop.
Don't take chances. Regular doses
OF DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin before
meals will strengthen the organs of
digestion, your appetite will be good,
constipation disappears and you feel
better in every way. DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin does not relax the
bowels by irritation, but by curing
indigestion, the cause of constipation.

Is ANXIOUS FOR GRANT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15-Senate COM
mittee on naval affairs yesterday gave
hearing to representatives of the Pacific
Ward, of New York, president of the
company, and William Cook, general
counsel, were present. Mr.. Hale, the
chairman, explained The efforts that pre-
viously had been made to secure legisla-
ton authorizing the construction Of a
cable to the Hawaiian islands. He also i'm
pressed upon the company the Importance
of early action I'm the matter If anything
was hoped to be accomplished.
Speaking for his company, Mr.. Ward
said that for a great many years Mr.. John
w. Mackay has bad great desire TO see
a Pacific cable laid, because of his being
identified largely with the Pacific coast.
The speaker then went over the ground
covered I'm the hearing before the house
committee.
In opposing the proposition that the gov
eminent lay the cable Mr.. Ward asked
If ii was fair or just for the government
TO lay a cable in competition with private
enterprises. and was it good business poll
cy for the United States to spend probably
S150OO.O0O when it could get everything it
desired from a private cable without the
outlay of a dollar.
Senator Perkins remarked that the con-
struction of this cable was a matter Of
national pride with Mr.. Mackay.
Mr.. McCook declared that his company
wanted no subsidy. no grant. All it did
ask was that congress pass no bill at all.

MRS. BARNETT, PRINCIPAL OF
HISTORIC INCIDENT, is DEAD

Mrs. M. A. Barnett died Saturday af-
ternoon at her home, No. Is Pulliam
street, after a protracted illness. She was
81 years of age.
Mrs. Barnett is survived by three chill
dren. They are Stewart NJ. Barnett, Of At
lanta; A +. Barnett. of New Orleans,
and Mrs z. w. Anderson, Of Monroe, La.
Mrs. Barnett was the daughter of DR..
David Cooper. one Of the pioneer citizens
of Atlanta, who was at one time superin-
tendent of the state asylum for the in
sane at Milledgeville
She was the widow of n. c. Barnett,
who was secretary of state during sew
eraI administrations subsequent to 1874.
when he first came into office. Mr.. Bar
nett figured prominently in the history of
the state before and after the war.
The death OF Mrs. Barnett recalls the
fact that she saved the great seal of the
state when Sherman made his famous
march to the sea. The capital was then at
Milledgeville, and by reason of Mr. Bar
netts position in the government the
family was living there at the time. In an
effort to save some of the state papers
Mrs Barnett buried a box of them near
her home In the box was the great seal,
which is now in use at the office Of the
secretary of state at the capitol.
Governor Jenkins was thought to have
saved the great seal by taking ii to Can
ada, but this proves mistake, for it was
the executive seal that he preserved.

about the case, but Mr.. Sage remembers
her. He said so last night, and volunteer
ed the information that when first she
came to his house, seventeen years ago,
he guessed she was good enough look
ing" .
There are no merits in the woman's
case. according to Mr.. Sage. He thought
the matter had been disposed OF when first
she came to him, and he had quite dis
missed the incident from his mind when
Isabella d'Ajuria again sought him last
June and threatened to expose him in the
newspapers unless he acceded to her de-

Isabella d'Ajuria brought an action In
the supreme court against Mr.. Sage as
far back as 1884, in which she demanded
$780, 900 damages. She asserts that Mr..
Sage promised to make her a gift of So
600 in cash or it's equivalent If she would
refrain from continuing her action. She
further declares that after a conference

was entered into by which she would
abandon all future action. he to give her
a house and lot In Mount Vernon valued
at $1,000 and also house in Manhattan
to be used by her as town residence in

name.
Now Isabella d'AJuria comes into court
complaining that she yielded TO Mr.. Sage's
promises and abandoned her suit. She de-
clares he has failed to fulfil HIS part OF the

for judgment I'm $4,000.
Isabella d'Ajuria claims her ability to

between herself and Mr.. Sage in the, orig
inal suit. She has volunteered to produce
letters written her by Mr.. Sage and de-
clares it her belief that the case can be

BRUNSWlCK'S POSTMASTER
REMOVED FROM OFFICE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-Postmaster F.
McC. Brown, of Brunswick, was removed
for alleged grave irregularities in office.
His successor Albert NJ. Smith, Is await
ing confirmation by the senate, his name
having been sent to the senate by the
president on Monday.
The charges against Postmaster Brown,
who has served only 10 months of his
term, grew out of an alleged shortage
said by officials of the postoffice depart
inent to have been found by an inspector
several months ago. The irregularity was
Strengthened out Immediately, 1t is said
but the department records were Inscribed
and the movement for a new postmaster
was started.
Assistant Postmaster Elliott applied for
the place. There is a rule in the depart
ment that an assistant to a postmaster
removed for cause will not be appointed
to the vacancy, so Elliott's application
was turned down.
Smith, the new appointee, was highly
recommended by prominent people OF
Brunswick. Friends of the retiring post
master have wired Congressman Brantley
to use his influence to have the matter re-
opened, but it is believed there will be no
further proceedings, as a removal for
cause is seldom reviewed by officials of the
department.
