Operation for Appendicitis.
From the New York Herald.

FEom the New York Herald
The operation on Mr.. Hartman for recur-
ring appendicitis is one which is usually
performed in the interval of attack 1t
is considered the safest of all the surgical
remedies for that disease and is the one
which is generally preferred when possible
by the leading surgical authorities. In Mr..
Harriman's case the procedure was more
than justified. for the reason that it guard
ed against an acute and dangerous attack
of the malady when the patient might. in
his frequent long trips, be far away from
ready surgical assistance.
1t is generally held that one attack of ap-
pendicius predisposes to another, and that
any subsequent seizure is apt to assume an
unexpected malignancy. Hence the opera-
ton during the .intervar' has become de-
servedly popular with surgeons The NOR
tally is very low and the prognosis is bet
ter by all odds than that of any other
operation of similar Importance Therefore
1t Is safe to say that the patients speedv
recovery is well assured AS vas expected
the offending organ showed a latent dis
e3sed condition which would have heen
liable to declare itself in threatening form
a any time in the near future.

From the Santa Fe New Mexican.
There are today in New Mexico, out of
an estimated population, at a very con-
sentative estimate, of 100000 people, not
over 500 Mormons. men, women and chill
dren. These are scattered and live in small
settlements In San Juan Rio Arriba and
Mckinley counties. They cut no more ice
politically here than does a Tammany poll
tician in the celestial empire The immi-
grafton into New Mexico at this time is not
coming from Utah: 1t is from Iowa, Ne
braska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and
no Mormons have been noticed in the num-
bers that have come into the territory duF
ing the past three years and are coming
now. The senators and representatives
from the state of New Mexico in Congress,
the officials of the new state. the members
of the legislative assembly and the county
officials will contain a large proportion or

evenly divided between this class OF New

Brown-Thrush Lane.

tten for The Evening Star by Chas. Fl. Doin
Along line of meadow,
Deep in rich, luxuriant grass,
Where cheekered fiecks Of shadow
Flicker Ger you as you pass;
By the fence-row, briar- braided,
And laced with trailing vine,
Where sedge-grass, sickle bladed,
With wild flowers intertwine.
Runs with willful course, a by-way.
Over hill and grassy plain,
From a farmstead to the highway.
Known to all as Brown-Thrush Lane.
There. when elder blossoms cluster
Their punches soft and gray,
In fragrant creamy luster,
Along its narrow way,
You can hear the wild birds trilline
Gleeful notes In every tree,
Their tender music filing
The lane with melody.
IT'S then that Mr.. Brown Thrush
Makes the concert ali his own,
Leaves his tree-top, with a down-rush.
Taking all the parts alone.
Piping love notes to his nest-mate,
Banter songs to wren and Jay,
