GOT IF IN DRINKING WATER.
Doctors Thought It Was Appendicitis,

Doctors Thought It Was Appendicitis,
 But It Was Five Inch Frog.
 New York, April 9.-A large frog was removed from womans stomach ill St Catherine's hospital in Williams burg the other day. The woman is Mrs Charles Burtis of Hopewell Junc- tion, near Matteawan, N. f.
 She had been suffering from q trouble which baffled her physicians for some time. It was finally decided that an operation for appendicitis would be advisable and she was taken to the Williamsburg hospital.
 A Fishkill, x. Y, doctor performed the operation, which revealed that she was not suffering from appendicitis. But the doctors did discover and re- move from her stomach a live frog, said to have been five inches long. It is supposed that she swallowed the frog when it was very small while she was drinking water.
 It was said at the hospital last night that Mrs Burtis had already returned to her home and had recovered entirely from the ill effects of her unpleasant experience.

WANT NO INTERFERENCE.
Woolen Mill Strikers Refuse To Deal With Civic Federation.

They Think They Are Able to Settle
 Their Own Everything Pos
 sible Has Been Done Says Chair
 man McDermott-Civic Federation-
 ists Have Issued Reply.
 Providence, +. l.. April 9.-The strikers from tine American Woolen company's mills at Olneyville have refused to deal with q representative Of the civic federation's arbitration committee.
 Marcus Marks head of the Clothing Cutters and member of the com lnittee of 36'' of the civic federation made the offer of intervention for tue adjournment of the strike. Chairman McDermott of the strikers committee replied that everything possible had been done by the weavers to secure an amicable settlement.
 MT Marks then suggested that he lave conference with treasurer Wood to bring about an understanding The strike leaders informed MT Marks that the strikers do not car etc have inter- yention of the kind indicated.
 With the rejection of the friendly offices the civic federation the strikers have issued statement ill reply to that made by Treasurer Wood, of the company yesterday. The declaration of Mir Wood regarding the number of looms in operation i'll Olneyville it says, reads like page of Jules Verne and in order to show that the double loom system is given promin- ence that 2,700 weavers are on strike against it. .'The weayerS in mills where the two loom system, is not ill practice know it will soon be brought to them if they do not resist and they are resisting
 Mir Woods statement that some of the strikers are now at work in other mills on double looms, is characterized as absurd and the treasurer is ac- cused of Ignorance on the subject . The statement closes with the expres- sion of determination ito be firm ill this strike against the double loom work, which ruins our eyes, impairs our health and shortens the period ill which we can follow OUT trade''

LOTUS CUB NET GOODS.
Lawyer Holohan Trying to Pre-
 vent Their Confiscation.

Judge Peasley Thought They Were
 Contraband Goods However And
 Ordered the Liquors Condemned
 The Club Took an Appeal And Will
 Make d Determined Fight To Pre-
 vent the SpilIing of the Fluid That
 Inebriates.
 The Lotus club appeared through it's counsel attorneys Holohan and Bauby, in the city court to-day before Judge peasley to show canse why the liquor seized i'll the clubs quarters a week ago should not be condemned and de stroped. In cases where liquors have been seized as the liquors i'll this case were, usually there is no contest over their final distraction, therefore it was with some surprise that the court loungers and attaches heard there was to be fight
 Sergeant Rlakely testified as he had i'll the previous cases of finding large quantity of assorted liquors and bever- ages in the clubs rooms and also the necessary outfit for drinking. The proceedings were instituted against Moses Harris but only in the com plaint was his name mentioned Ser geant Blakely was asked as to the rep utation of the place regarding the sale of liquor, but Attorney Holohan ob- Jected to this question:. He said he would admit that liquors were sold there, which he said was of more ac- count than to try to give the place q reputation.
 The Lotus club. said AIr Holohan, has an interest in the liquors. It's charter would show that it was q legal " established club and would show that the liquors belonged to it. not to Harris. William Conway, the steward of the club, was sworn and he testified that he bought the liquors for the club with the clubs funds This item of business he entered on q book. He was asked to procure the book. He salu ne did not know if the club had check book. whereupon Attorney Itolohan asked Mir Pierce what kind of check book be meant Mr Pierce ap- Deared greatly surprised and said he never knew of more than one kind of check book, the ordinary bank check book. MT Holohan did not enlighten MT Pierce on the matter of check books but looked as though he could. It also seemed to surprise MT Pierce that the liquors had been paid for by the witness. In his testimony Conway 1 said lie sold to customers, and each sale was noted i'll q book.
 Upon this point the drift of the ar- guments was centered. NIr Pierce seemed to. consider it of great yalue to his case, saying that it meant that the witness sold liquors to other than members of the club.
 Mr Holohan upon the other hand seemed to consider it small. if any inn portance. Said he, turning to Mi. l Pierce::
 Who are the clubs customers hut It's members. When you buy drjnl, at the Waterbury club are you not ifs customer? Certainly you are. There IS no evidence that any liquor was sold 10 any one but members of the club. There is no reputation established. and do not see how the petition can he granted
 However, the court differed from Mir Holohan, and granted an order con demning the liquors. Notice of annea was given, and q bond of $50 ordered
 Edward Stack charged with intoxi. cation was fined S5 and costs. or tal,o the alternative of working it out in Brookside home.

 cuss Mission

cusS Mission
 Chicago, April 9.-The Tribune's New Orleans correspondent says there has been an exchange of notes between Colonel E. H. Crowder, assigned to in vestigate charges made by Boer rep resentatives that England is violating the neutrality laws, and Captain Fen ner, ranking member of the squad of English army officers, directing the shipment of horses and mules to South Africa.
 As result the two will mex to-day and Colonel Crowder will state the ob- ject of his visit here, the correspondent continues. If the British authorities offer to make full statement of their methods, then the way will be paved towards an early official entertainment of actual conditions. General Samuel Pearson, the Boer representative, is ex- pected to arrive from Washington next Saturday. He, too. will be called on for proof of his charges.
 Colonel Crowder refuses absolutely to discuss his mission. It is under stood, however that his orders from Adjutant-Genera1 Corbin are broad to a degree, leaving him full sway as to the methods to be pursued in gathering facts and fulfilling the scope of the in quiry.
