Mrs. Geo. $. Hacket, aged about

noon. She has had abdominal
trouble for the past fifteen years
and becoming so bad it was decided
to bring her to the hospital, Thurs
day night for the operation. AS an
incision was made the blood rushed
out in volume and she expired in
d short time. Previous to the oper-
alton she had been having fainting
spells, and just before the operation
had vomiting spell. The trouble
was what is known as blood tumor
and it is thought that during the last
attack of vomiting an internal break
was caused, this with the quantity
Of blood rushing from the heart pro
duced death. An operation was
last resort in etfecting relief. She
has been in very bad condition the
past three weeks. Deceased lived
about eight miles east of town and
leaves a husband and five children.
Out of forty seven operations at
the hospital this is the first death
that has occurred. -

Though the stand Of trees be thin.
the normal forest, on account of an
abundant and luxuriant underground,
is impenetrable except one cuts his

trees supports climbers, such as the
1e-ie vine, which grows into the crowns
and may lace together with rope-like
stems the various trees of an entire
forest. Then there is the fern growth,
marvellous in its variety and luxuri-
ance. With species which range in
height from few inches to 30 feet,
growing both on trees and on the
ground and running the whole scale OF
shade endurance, the ferns do much to-

When racing began at one Of the

The result was days disaster to tho

OF straight campaigning, OF exactlne
interviews, correspondence, accept
ances, and SO on. I am speaking Of
the personal habits of the men who
are honored by the nominations.
There was thine when it was enough
to be statesman. Now, it seems, the
candidate must prove that he is some
thing of an athlete. It is expected OF
him. People want to know when and
how Judge Parker swims. Also how
long he rides each day. President
Roosevelt has been especially devoted
to tennis since he came home for the
summer vacation. What sort of game
he plays is a matter of grave import
ance, one would suppose. That the
president will ride, fish, and camp is
taken for granted. @
The popular passion for athletics
and physical culture goes further than
to make inquiries about the presiden-
tial candidates. Mr.. Davis, the demo-
cratic candidate for vice president,
hardly had been half an hour in New
York-this was on his way to sec
Judge Parker-when the interviewers
wanted to know what sort Of exer;
else he took. It was not enough that
Mr.. Davis threw out a hint concern
ing his labors on the farm at home.
What sort of work did he do? Did he
ride? Did he think walking a good
exercise? How many hours a day did
he work on the farm?
There was no occasion to question
Senator Fairbanks. No one can be ig-
norant of the fact that he is a very
active man, with hustling walk-a
long stride. He has told the inter-
viewers that his natural activities give
him all the exercise, and by inference.
all the physical culture he wants.
Nevertheless, Mayor Mcclellan has
stopped walking down town from
Washington square to the city hall
every morning. Human endurance
has it's limits. But the mayor has
been pictured in the act of walking
down town and the public mind has
been set at rest as to his exercise, and
he may relapse into any form of idle
ness that pleases him. I believe that
the late William M. Evarts was the
only distinguished New Yorker who
ascribed his long life to consistent
and faithfully maintained habit Of
taking no exercise whatever. Mr..
Evarts belonged to the old school. He
lived at time when physical culture
had not been invented.
