A New AppendIoItIs Theory.

Dr. H. c. Howard of Champaign, Ills, explains the increase in the number of cases of appendicitis to the changes in the methods in milling flour. Up to 1875 cases of this trouble were exceedingly rare, and he asserts that the modern pro- cess of milling very white fine flour, which takes from the grain nearly all the phosphates and leaves only starch and gluten Is chiefly responsible for the disease. He asserts that wherever a com munity has abandoned the old-fashioned coarse Hours appendicitis has very soon made its appearance. the latest illustra- ton being among the negroes of the south. who. while their bread was salely corn flour, did not know what the dis ease was. As the use of fine white flour

DEMOCRATS. ArTENrloNI

From the Jasper Mountain Eagle.
 The success of the republican party would be looked upon as a repudiation of the new constitution. as their speak CTS are attacking 1t every day. Then to entrench themselves they would restore the ballot to the negro and the condi- tlons of reconstruction days would be again to go over. Let every democrat go to the polls and vote next Tuesday.

Three persons in one family in Cam den, N. J., are reported seriously il from the effect of mosquito bites. John Van Devender has typhoid fever and blood poisoning His one-year-old son has a severe abscess on his thigh and the child's aunt is afflicted in similar man. ner.

Soft Coal Trust.

The consolidation of the two great coal companies of the Pittsburg dis trict, the Pittsburg Coal Company and the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company, brings into action a gigantic concern, having a capitalization of $110, 100000. And yet great as this company is it's output will be but 30,0O0,000 tons a year, or about one-eighth of the total output of soft coal in this country. It is plain that one-eighth cannot dominate seventh-eighths, although it may by concentration be very potential in spots.
 The new trust will own productive mines and large property in Walker county in this district, and it may conclude to supply it's lower Missis- sipp trade with coal from those mnes. Much depends upon the cost of pro duction and transportation to the cus- toner If the Walker county mines can outstrip in this respect the Mo nongahela mines, the former will no doubt be developed to meet the Mis- sissippi trade of the trust. At any rate the trust is here, and here nc doubt it will stay, and the survival oi the Attest will find here new exempli fication.

New York Clubs.

"A well known club in Fifth avenue, New York, and organization of the foremost rank, has the names of more than eight hundred candidates for mem bership on its waiting list" said a New Yorker at the Hillman.
 This is one of many evidences of the astonishing development of club life in New York. To a multitude of unmarried men the facinations of well managed clubs are almost irresistible, and 1t has often been suspected that they are dis couragers of matrimony.
 ''Bacheors and widowers of fair in- incomes get so much enjoyment in the spacious and well appointed homes of these associations that it is believed an increasing number of them are disin- content themselves with the tranquil atmosphere of family life and the duties and diversions of the domestic hearth.
 "In the competition between the al lurements of the most prosperous sodal- ities, fraternities and like bodies of good fellows, whose tastes, sentiments and aims are largely in accord, and the mild and benignant sway of houseno1d Lares and Penates, the clubs too often pre- vail, especially in the evenings The clubs of New York are constantly be- coming more important ana more nu- merous and they are rapidly gaining in membership, in wealth and in attractive ness.
 There are more notable and successful organization of this kind than ever before in this metropolis, and some of them can hardly be excelled in distinction, in admirable management and in opportuni- ties for comfort and pleasure even in London, the one capital famed above others for centuries as the chief city of clubs With their libraries and reading rooms, their parlors, restaurants and cafes, their apartments for the reception of guests, and for easy, unaffected meet ings aid talk of men of kindred minds; their billiard rooms, cardrooms and Tur- kish baths, and their department for every sort of rational recreation which men can enjoy within doors, New York clubs are not tagging behind those which are most f1ourishing elsewhere

OVER IN GEORGIA.

From the Savannah News.
 The convict lease system Is perniciously wrong Our penal system should include penitentiary and chain gang under the direct supervision and control of respon- sible public officials; and the gangs should be employed in road building and other works of a public character. As long as convicts are hired out to private concerns and individuals. there will fol- low injustices and scandals. The matter is now before the legislature.

Tuberculosis Treatment in cermanv.

OoO'OOO inhabitants. namely 140o0,0OO are bound to contribute out of their earnines to the workmens insurance fund. Much opposition was raised to this compulsory insurance; but the state is utilizing it as powerful prophylactic remedy against disease for the benefit of the needy DOT tion of the people. So far the state has accumulated from this source a. capital of one mil1lard marks S250.OOO 0oO If Is obvious that great saving in regard to allowances and pensions for the sick can be effected If suitable measures he taken at an early stage, and before if is too late for them to be of real avail in combating the progress of the disease Tn accordance with section IS of the Invalid. en Gesetz," the state is authorized to send cases to sanatoria, with a view to nip the disease in the bud. This is done at cost of 300 marks ($70 per month for three months. There will soon be nor. than one hundred such sanatoria through out the empire, and their number Is con. tinuously increasing, and some 3OOOO pa. tients are being treated for yung diseases. In all cases the open-air treatment is edopted. The sanatoria now in existence have all been created within the space of the last six years. In the spring of thr. year flfty-eight sanatorias were open, twenty-three of which receive contribu- 4Aar e.
