Why they WENT TO CANADA.
Wine and Fear of Judge speer
Made Green and Gaynor Leave.

The fight of Greene and Gaynor,
says the Savannah Press, was not pre-,
meditaeed, according to story from
New York that atisanthentic. Champagne
and fear Of Judge Speer was its in
spiratien.
As is well known Capt. Geene lived
at the Plaza Hotel, while Col. JOHN
T. Gaynor stayed at the Hoffman
House, which for years has been the
headquarters of the Democrats of New
York State Capt. Greene, on the
night he and Col. Gaynor were to
have come South for the purpose OF
standing trial, left his hotel in his
carriage and going over to the Hof-
man there met Col, Gaynor, who was
all ready to leave. When he arrived at
tie hotel a. number of friends were
there to tell them goodbye and to pass
a pleasant quarter Of an hour.
The time passed before any one
realized it, while the popping OF
champagne corks kept up for an hour
or more. Finally, Greene and Gaynor
tore themselves away from their COM
panions and made their way to the
Jersey. City depot. There they found
the last train that would bring them
here in time for court, when their
case would be called, had been gone
for more than an hour.
They were panic-stricken, as they
had wholesome and probably we'll
justified fear of Judge Speer who
they thought would place them in jail
and keep them there until the case was
disposed of, if they should arrive here
late.
Each Of them had all of the cham
payne he could carry and naturally
their Imagination was somewhat bril-
liant. They saw at once the inside OF
the county jail and Capt. Greene said
to Col. Gaynor that Savannah was no
place for them. They talked sbo1t
the matter for half hour and train
being about to leave, they got aboard
Of it and went to Boston.
At Boston they held another con-
sultation and decided that it was then
too late to return and their only safety
was in continued fight. They con-
tinued their Journey and the next
heard Of them they were living in ease
and comfort at the Chateau Frontenac
said to be one Of the finest hotels in
America.
Thastory is absolutely true, accord
ing to the facts as written by Col.
Gasaor TO friend in New York city.
They are said to entertain no ap-
prehension of the ultimate outcome Of
their case.

Boiler MiH FI0ur Causes Appen-
tiieifis.

The notion advanced by the humor-
Gus writers that appendicitis is a
disease invested to confer social dis
tiinction has pretty well died out, but
mere comes an Illinois physician who
declares that appendicitis was rare be-
fore 5he new processes Of rolling wheat
were invented. He says: About the
date mentioned 1870 there began to
be a general change from the old
methods Of grinding grain to the pre-
sent method Of roller mills and exces-
sively fne boiling cloths. T.ais plan
Of milling being first in the large
cities, and appendicitis began to in
crease first there. Later the new pro-
cess crowded ont the small mills in
the country and the people could not
get aeur made by the old process.
Ihey bought products of the large mill
siny establishments, and then the
farmers began TO have appendicitis.
he adds: Experienced millers will
tell you that the hne -four is q less de-
sirable -four than that made by the
old process, but the trade demands it
chiefly on account OF its Whiteness. -
This physician says also in the last
few years.appendieitis has become one
Of the most common of diseases, and
he regards the discovery OF the cause
of its increase as of supreme import

HIS STAND Is DOUBTFUL.


Washington March 1.-The attitude,
Of the civil service commissioners to-

TO Postmaster McMichael and Il, Fran.

letter to Mr. Wood, the substance Of
which also is stated in The letter to the
postmaster Mr. FaulkQ says
1--WE object to certain solicitations for
contributions made by those In author
ity because they are, in effect, coercIng
the political action Of employees; but
would II not also be coercing their po-
llueal action to tell them that they
should not contribute ana that they
must take no part whatever In u cam
paign? For myself, | have In years
past always given a modest contrlbu-
ton for political purposes, and ! shall
not cease to do so In the future because
/ hold office; but | do not intend to
give any more on less on that account
and ! do not want my example to be
construed as an lntlmatlon to any enl-
pl0ye OF this office that he is to glye
on not to give. or that he Is not as free
to give 10 the Democratic fund az he
Is to the Republican fund, or that he
may not as freely give to the faction
opposed to me In my own party as 10
the factions not opposed to me, If he 80
desires.
AS to campaign contributions, It
seems TO me that the purpose Of the
law is TO see that they are really voun-
tary and not actually or implicitly Coz
creed and as TO political action and ao-
tlVlty II seems to me the purpose Of
the law is that man should be free
to do what he likes In Office as well as
out of II, with the limitation that It
must not interfere with his Official du-
ties nor In any other way bring scandal
upon or impair the efficiency Of the
branch of the service 10 which he be-
longs,
I'm the latter particular any attack
made upon that service on upon the adj
ministration OF which It would be a
part, would necessarily be in deroga-
ton Of sound discipline. We are strong
believers that the merit system should
not take 80 extreme view that II
