HEART DISEASE AND WORRY
o~erexertion, Either Physical ss Mental, Endangers Life in Case
 of Cardiac Trouble.

The influence of mental emotion oe the heartbeat needs no special proof in our everyday experiences. When the organ Is healthy the palpitation IA the ordinary response to an extra stimulus and Is necessarily transient in duration. In confirmed cardiac dis ease in which the valves are damaged or the heart walls dilated and weak ened, there Is often great danger to life by overexertion. either physical or mental. It is the degree and con- tinuousness of excitement which thus work so disastrously.
 The young school-teacher of Green point who fell dead at the end of his first days duty is a case in point. says the New York Herald. He was evl- dently overwrought with anxiety. and his crippled heart was unable to bear the constant strain. Unlike mere muscular exertion, the mental excit- ability was beyond control. especially when the new environment was the persistent disturbing element. This happens sometimes in the pulpit, on the lecture platform, and even before the footlights. Numerous examples have been noted from time to time.
 The preventives are in the line of avoiding all overexcitement and ot needing all ominous warnings. This 1s most difficult obviously with mental emotions, as they are not always un- der the control of the will. The man with weak heart who is running for a train is compelled to stop in time TOT want of breath and thus remove tns exciting cause of his palpitation. but continual and profound mental par- turbation is, alas. too often beyond his ken. Alas! there was no one near the poor teacher to tell him

DON'T SNUB THE SPAGHETTI,
The one Way to Create Consterna- tiOn fin a New York Italian
 Restaurant.

When a customer enters an Italian restaurant in New York. he is supposed to have bestowed himself upon that particular establishment for the pur- pose of procuring spaghetti, says the Sun. The experienced patron yields to the requirements of the restaurant and enjoys the spaghetti when he gets it.. though there Is no positive assurance an an Italian restaurant at what point the spaghetti will appear any more than there is when the cheese or salad will be served. It is no unusual thing in an Itai- Ian restaurant for a dinner to be begun with salad, and cheese. grated and served in a saucer, is generally brought in with the soup instead of at the end Of the re- past.
 The unsophisticated patron of an Ital- fan restaurant in New York, high or low. expensive or cheap. celebrated or new. can in one way only cause surprise. bor- Oering on bewilderment, to the conduc- tors, employees and patrons of the es- tablishment alike, and that is by declar- dnx with frmness at the proper mo- ment:
 q don't care for spaghetti. Take it away"
 Such a declaration, seldom made and never repeated in the same restaurant, has the same effect on the business done in 1t that the explosion of boiler has on a locomotive. It brings everything so . full stop. It ends abruptly the pop ularity of the patron there. He pays his score and departs, but not until he has done so is serenity restored.

FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Not Warranted by Number of Kaiser's Subjects at Present Residing in
 South America.

German migration to South America, and especially to some of the southern states of Brazil, is periodically cause of com ment and concern to some who think they see therein a sinister scheme of imperial conquest. For two or three strong reasons, says the New York Tribune, such fears seem to us to be not we'll founded. One such reason is that the number of Germans in Brazil is not, after all, ominous- ly large. The total population Of Brazil, according to the census of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later census returns are available, but careful estimates now place the total at more than 100000, of which number less than 3,OO0,O00 are Indians and negroes, leaving certainly more than 14,0O0,OO0 whites. Of these, in 1901, only 2,7OO,OOO were i'm migrants, and of the latter number only 30O,00O were Germans.
 The latest and highest esti. mate of the number of Germans in Brazil is only 45O,O00, or lit tie over three per cent. of the whole. Really, we cannot regard that as dangerous percentage. Nor does it represent the largest foreign element, by any means. Portuguese immigrants into Bra gil are twice as numerous, and Italians three times as numer. ous, as the Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed ill certain states as to form a ma. jority of their population, as some have imagined. Germans are most numerous in Rio Grande do Sul, where there are 100000 of them, but the whole population of the state is 900, ,0OO, so that the Germans are less than One-fourth. In Santa Catha- rina the Germans are 100000 in a total of 30O,000, or one-third, the largest proportion in any state. In Parana they are 47,0OO in 2S0,O0O, and in Sac Paulo 30,- 900 in ], 1,430,0O0.
 It is pointed out as ominous that these Germans continue to use their own language, to pub fish newspapers in German and to demand the official use of that language in courts and schools. We'll, the same may be said of Germans in New York, and in Milwaukee, and in many other parts of the United States.
 The conquest which Germany hopes for in Brazil is not polit-> ical, but commercial. The profit she looks for in this migration of her subjects is to be found in in. creased commerce. In that Ger. many reckons shrewdly. Every shipload of Germans landed in Brazil creates a demand for many shiploads of German man. ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means a market for German trade. Upon this feature of the case too rnuch rtroSs nannot oa ilu ho loid

TAGGART PLEASED.
Considers Outlook in West as Promising
and Satisfied with New York.

Chicago, Sept. 2O.-Thomas
Faggart, chairman of the demo
cratic National committee, arrived
in Chicago today. This is the first
visit of the National chairman to
Chicago since he took his seat as
the party manager, and marks the
beginning of the democratic cam
paign in Illinois Democratic lead
ers from all parts of the State are
here to meet him and number of
abdemocrats greeted him at the
railway station. Chairman Taggart
spent the day in conference with
democratic leaders at the Sherman
house. In response to questions he
said:
If the heartiness of democrats
manifested since my arrival here IS
any indication of the political con
ditions, I would say that the demo-
cratic outlook is excellent. I have
Just spent three days in Indiana
and find democratic affairs in that
State in fine shape. I am also able
to say that in New York, New
Jersey. Connecticut and West Vir-
GINA and the East generally the
prospect is such as to cheer the
democratic heart. "
Replying to question as to the
truthfulness of a report that he
had been practically supplanted as
chairman, Mr.. Taggart entered an
emphatic denial saying that the
National party leaders are working
in the utmost harmony. He de-
clined to make an announcement
as to campaign plans in the West
until his return to New York.
I will consult with the leaders
here he said, and give careful
attention to what they say and will
arrive at a conclusion by the time
reach headquarters in New
York.
1t is learned. however, that Mr..
Taggart' 5 present inclinations are
unfavorable to a branch headquar-
tiers at any point in the West, his
opinion being that the work can
best be done from New York
through State committees.
The situation in New York IS
all that we could want, " said Chair
man Taggart. Indiana is in the
best condition for democratic vic
tory that I have seen since 1892.

Grand Opera House

Lighthouse by the Sea-" the new sensational melidrama dealing with people employed at, and living near government lighthouse on the Jew England coast, will be given it's first presentation in this city tonight at the Grand opera house when the engage ment will last for three nights and Wednesday matinee.
 While the villainy is said to be un- usually aggressive, and virtue uncom- monly hard pressed, melodramatic con- yentionalities are avoided to a large extent, and the story is sympathetic in its ability to touch the hearts of men, women and children. There is a, gener- ous sprinkling of good comedy scat tered throughout the action, which is relevant to the working out of the plat, and brightens up the more serious por- tions os the drama.
 Vance and Sullivan are said to have spared no expense in mounting the piece; the scenic and mechanical effects being elaborate and ingenious. It is claimed that there has never been a more striking example of the scene dils HUI CnCcll1e play of ingenious mechanical devices than shown in the great storm scene off Devils Rick" lighthouse, when a young girl at the peril of her life, re- stores the light and averts a shipwreck planned by the villains, to accomplish their fiendish purpose. The several characters in the play are interpreted by people especially suited to the roles.
 Many new and novel features have been introduced in the new melodrama Her First False Step," which will be seen at the Grand opera house Thurs day, Friday and Saturday, this week. The play is one that appeals to the masses, and is well worth seeing. The rural quartette, a novel creation of his own, affords not only much amusement, but renders many. selections worthy to please all lover of good music. Re- ceiving many compliments from the press and public wherever '9er First False Step" has been performed. Matinee Saturday.
