ENaLAND's EXHIBIT.
Appropriation for st. Louis May Be In
creased.

A dispatch to the New York Sun from
London today says: The proposals for the
expenditure Of money to make a good show
ing in the British section at St Louis next
year are receiving more liberal support
from the government than was originally
promised.
1t was proposed at first that f30,0 900 should
be voted for the British exhibit there. but
already fSO.0 has been appropriated for
that purpose, and there IL reason to believe
that II the present government remains
in power another f76.O0O will be forthcom-
Ing for the same purpose.
The responses to the invitations sent
out by the British commissioners to mer-
chants to exhibit at st. Louis have been
very satisfactory, except in the case of
manufacturers Of machinery and woolens.
The reason given for the refusal to exhibit
by many manufacturers In these lines is
that there Is such q demand for British
manufactured goods that the merchants
already have more orders than they can
execute.

whom was heard the arguments of counsel
for the Canadian Pacific Railway Company
in the matter of the release from custody
on writs of habeas corpus of sixteen China
men who had been denied admission to the
United States, had taken the case under
advisement. The advices said the indica-
tons point to a favorable decision. The
case was brought to test the validity of an
agreement between the United States and
the railway company for the latter to de-
port all Cinnamon who had been refused
entrance to this country.

When the 5OO-yard stage was reached the
men were prepared to battle for first place,
and with a determined look on each of
their faces, they took their places on the
hiring line, feeling more confident than
ever they would win out on this range
Appleby opened up the game with a bull,
but dropped on his next three shots but
when he landed the bull again on his fourth
shot he chung to it and finished his score
with bulls. Wetherald took up his work in
the f1ve-ring from the very first shot and
stuck there until he slipped out on his sew
enth and eighth shots, but got in again and
finished with two more bulls making As
out of a possible 30. Reichelderfer saw the
way his predecessors were plugging at the
inner ring and with very little coaching
started on also with three bulls on his
string. His total score, winding I'D with n
four, was At. Pile did not have such good
luck with the bulls, but pulled out safely
with a AZ to his credit, while Dennison and
Cook, with mighty hard work landed each
OF them 40 at this range. Both men aim

scores they did they passed all of the other
team members in the match at this stage
No possibles were made at this range by
any team. Fink also pulled up in good
shape and came out with AZ.

Major Guilfoyle, who was range officer dur

Of the shooting. A sailing vessel came
within a close distance of the shore and
the sails could be plainly seen in the rear
OF the targets. For fear of injuring some
one on the craft, he ordered firing to cease
until the vessel had passed out Of sight Of
the targets.

OHM PAUL JoNEs.-It has been said

JOHN PAUL JoNEs.-It has been said
that republics are not ungrateful, but
the truth of this statement is open to
serious doubt when we consider the
fact that for over one hundred years
the body of John Paul Jones has been
allowed to remain In a weedgrown and
neglected graveyard in the midst OF
one of the poorest and most wretched
tenement quarters Of Paris.
This shameful neglect of the mem
ory of the man who won our first
great naval victory is a standing re-
proach to our patriotism and national
pride. No name in American history Is
more illustrious than that Of John
Paul Jones, and it is very strange that
the United States has made no efforts
toward having his bones brought to
this country and suitable monument
erected to his memory.
Jones died in 1892 and was buried
In a little Protestant cemetery neal
the Rue de la Grange. then in the su-
burbs of Paris. The cemetery was
closed the following year and the exact

PURSUIT OF THE APPENDIX.
Is tho Surgical Sport to be Interfered
With?


With
DR.. John Henry Carsten's argument
to the State Medical society against
the indiscriminate removal Of the ver-
inform appendix appears to be irregu-
lar and unethical. We have always
been taught to believe that vermiform
appendices were what the lawyers call
ferae naturae-wild things In which
nobody can claim property and which
anybody is free to take. The better
the appendix, the better the operation,
and the more sport in the chase.
At this late day we can not accept
DR.. Carsten's theory that a healthy ap-
pendix ought not to be removed. An
appendix is an appendix, whether
healthy or not, and modern surgery
has definitely ascertained that the
function Of the appendix is to be am
putated. That is its place in the econ
omy of man, and for countless ages
nature has directed her efforts, in the
process Of evolution, to the beneflcent
work of producing vermiform appen-
dix that could be easily separated
from the patient together with $3.50.
She has succeeded, and when DR.. Car
stem advises that the appendix be left
alone to wither and flap like the last
leaf on the tree, it strikes US that he
IS counseling the surgeons to violate
the ordinances Of nature.
II Carsten would content himself
with an imitation Of the fish and game
laws, and advocate closed season for
the appendix, the suggestion might be
worthy of serious consideration. Per-
haps 1t might be better for everybody
II no appendices were taken, say, be-
tween the 1st Of July and the 1st Of
October, and none less than four years
old and not more than twenty-five by
any one surgeon in a season, unless
the taking of the appendix were abso-
lutely necessary for feeding the doc
tors family. This would be a reason
able regulation, and it would tend to
eliminate the mere pot hunter, who
slashes recklessly and has a tendency
to remove more appendices than his
bank account really requires.
However, the details Of the closed
season can be worked out later. We
have no desire to usurp any Of the
medical societys functions: but 1t Is
none too soon to protest against the
pernicious doctrine that a man has a
right to keep his vermiform appendix
merely because it is healthy, or that he
has any property rights whatever In
his appendix. The time has not yet
come to beat the scalpels into plow-
shares and the forceps into pruning
hooks-Detroit Free Press.
