Perityph1itis.

Perityphlitis, the malady from which
King Edward VII. is said to have been
suffering, Is an Inflammation of the It's
sues surrounding that curious physio-
logical rene, the vermiform appendix.
The idea OF the ordinary operation in
appendicitis is to remove this little blind
pocket before the disease has eaten d
mole in it, and infected the peritoneal, or
main abdominal cavity. In perityphlitis
this infection has occurred, but by some
good fortune, instead of going on to
general perltonitis, an extremely serious
and grave complication, it has been cut
oil, or localized, as 1t is technically
called, SO as to form an abscess about
the exterior OF the appendix. 1t is, of
course, a much more serious condition
to operate upon than the ordinary I'M
perforated appendix, but is far less serI-
Gus than case OF perforation resulting
IN general perltonitis. Perityphlitls
may be caused by several pathological
conditions, one OF which is malignant
disease, or cancer. Where it is due to
cancerous growth it is OF the greatest
gravity, even after an apparently sue
cessful operation, as indeed are all can
cerous affections OF the intestinal tract.

Where and How Panama Hats are
Made,
! 6

In the first place they are not made in
Panama, nor is the Alpine shape that is
popular in America seen in Southern
countries. The term Panama was taken
as convenient name from the fact that
most of the hats made in Peru and Ecua-
dor find their way to Guayaquil, whence
they are shipped to Panama, and after
crossing the isthmus, are shipped here
from Colon. Even this is not true of the
hats made in Colombia, many of which
are shipped from Cartagena or Savanilla
and have never touched Panama at all.
We have a parallel case in the term Mar
acaibo coffee. The coffee is grown in the
interior and derives its name simply
from the port from which it is shipped.
The plant from which the hat is made
is not generally understood. We have
seen it variously referred to as ga species
of cane" ga weed, " ga grass" etc. How
very vague is the last term will be APP
preciated when one considers that botan-
lists recognize no less than five thousand
distinct species of grass. 1t is sort
OF palm in appearance and is commonly
called the Panama hat palm, although

a great many OF the horses of the
South American pampas are piebald.
When caught at first they always kick
freely, and it is often difficult to get
saddle and bride on to them. When
properly broken, however, these horses
are curiously docile, and will allow chill
dren to mount them by climbing up their
tails. When the gauchos lasso a wild
horse on the plains, before the captive is
allowed to get on his feet, they cut the
name and tail close, as mark that the
horse has been mounted; this in case he
should get away while being tanned,
which, however, is an accident that does
not often happen.

HUNTING Big GAMB
President Roosevelt Will Spend -Four
Days in wilds of Mississippi.
BLACK BEARS ARE PLENTIFUL

The President Has Had Hard Sum-
mer. and Feels That He Earned a
Few Days Recreation In the Woods,
Whether He Can Get a Bear Or Not.
Memphis. Tenn, Nov. 13.-President
Roosevelt and party reached this city
at $50 O'Clock this morning. Later
he was joined by Stuyvesant Fish and
John McElhenny. of Louisiana. and left
over the Mississippi and Yazoo Railway
for Smedes. Miss. to enjoy four DAYS
bear hunt. The special train will be
held upon a siding at Smedes until next
Wednesday. when the president will
return to Memphis.
The place selected for the hunt is
some miles from the railway and is in
the region which was formerly the
favorite hunting ground of General
Wade Hampton. the famous leader OF
the Confederate Black Horse. General
Hampton at one time owned a planta-
ton in this vicinity and hunted black
bear in the cane brake with horse and
hounds Before the war he is said to
have killed more than so bears in a sin
gle season, some of them with a knife.
Years ago the president and General
Hampton planned hunt in this region.
but il was never made, and when
President Stuyyesant Fish. of the Iii
nois Central. proposed the present trip
the president readily assented.
The president, however. does not an
toipate the pleasure of killing a bear so
much as the pleasure OF a few days
complete recreation in the woods. He
has had hard and trying summer and
fall, and feels that he has earned a
holiday. and that privilege is what he
is after, whether he can get n bear or
not. To one who has hunted grizzlies
in the Rockies black bear are not very
big game. But hunting bear with horse
and hounds will be a new experience
for him. If bear shall not be Sc
cured il will not be the fault OF Mr..
Fish. He has one of the best pack of
hounds in the Mississippi delta at the
camp.

ters yesterday. President Mitchell held
conferences all day with delegations Of
miners. his lawyers and members of the
Workers. The case of the miners, as

the executive heads of the Miners I'm
ion, the attorneys and the expert min
ers who were summoned here especially
for that purpose.
The evidence collected by President
Mitchell in behalf OF the miners is very
voluminous, and covers every possible
point that may be raised when the COM
mission sits. President Mitchell and
his official family viii break up house
today and remove TO Scranton. The
chief officer of the Miners Union has
made his headquarters in Wilkesbarre
since May 10 He will now make his
