similar institutions in Russia" he

CURE OF APPENDICITIS
Theories Of European Surgeons Re
gardins Its Origin and Remedy.

Consul General Guenther reports,
from statements contained in Ger
man papers, that appendicitis, or In.
Illumination Of the yermiform appen-
dix, has assumed the disagreeable
character OF becoming more and more
fashionable disease. Surgery has
achieved great triumphs in this
sphere and has cured innumerable
cases of the disease. The French
surgeon Roux, however, has asked the
question: is appendicitis over II one
carries his appendix in ones pocket?"
and his answer was not entirely af.
firmative. From the statements of
DR.. Frederick Trever. one of the
foremost authorities, and physician
of King Edward, similar doubts an.
pear.
According to the experiments of
this great expert, failures may occur
which he treats in two groups. On
the one hand the operation may re-
suit IN relief or an incomplete cure;
on the other hand, complications are
to be feared which do not depend up.
on the surgical intervention. onl:
the surgeon is concerned to study the
details Of the deductions of Doctor
Trever in order to more fully learn of
the eventual dangers which may fol.
low an operation. For the patients.
1t must be stated that an operation
remains the most pre-eminent rene.
dy, II not the only one, of which a
complete cure is to be expected.
Doctor Pond, of Liverpool, has ad.
vanced new theory with reference
to the origin of appendicitis and 9TH
er disturbances of the digestive organ
in the Lancet. He calls attention to
1t that such ailments can often be at.
tributed TO antimonial poisoning, and
the source of the anthony taken up
by the man is said to be the rubber
rings which are frequently used to
close all sorts of bottles. Doctor Pond
has established the fact that such

weight of anthony. The anthony
is not only dissolved by the mineral
waters containing alkalis and organic
acids. but these rubber rings, as daily
observation shows. soon. became
brittle and some of the compound
falls into the contents Of the vessels.
Doctor Pond claims to have found
that frequently repeated introduc.
ton Of anthony can become the
source of series of disturbances of
the nutritive and digestive system,
respectfully through continued weaken.
.'ng of the muscles of the stomach and
intestines. In case that his state.
ments as to the contents of anthony
in rubber rings is correct, his deduc-
tions seem plausible, but with refer.
ence to appendicitis a confirmation
CT such connection must be awaited.

presents a race difficulty. A report
of horrible atrocities by aborigines
against the settlers comes from West
ern Australia. The residents in Fitz.
DRY, w. A., have appealed very strong
ly for State protection against the ma
tiyes; their petition explains itself:
"As practical bushmen, having wide
experience of natives, we cannot help
saying we consider that DR.. Roth is
entirely ignorant of natives and their
customs. The State is now facing the
native difficulty which all other States
are said to have settled with the bull.
let. DR.. Roths report has undone all
the good previously done, and we urge
as the best to both black and white
that the old system be reverted to.
We treat with scorn DIR. Roth's ref
erence to the police. Natives are
killing cattle and robbing camps at
an alarming rate. We pray you will
consider the earnestness and Justice
of our petition, and give more atten-
ton to persons of experience rather
than those south, who roar SO much
but have never seen black fellow"
The Theosophists are the only think
ers who seem satisfactorily to ex.
plain racial antagonisrn, and to sug.
gest the reasons underlying the ex-
tinction OF savage races in front of the
more civilized. However little one
may agree with their theories, they
are certainly interesting.
According to one of their chief ex-
ponents, reincarnation is the key to
the whole racial struggle. The abo.
rhymes of Australia and all the other
so.called lower races of mankind are
simply man in an earlier stage of de-
velopment. AS we go from stage to
stage, always climbing, we inhabit
variety of bodies. until, going from
better to best, we finally leave this
old earth altogether, and become be-
ings celestial. 1t is an old, old be.

colonizing done by Germans in other
parts of the world, it is very strange
that they should be unsuccessful in

President Roosevelt Accepts ChaI-
lenge of the South and Names
Negro Collector in N. Y.

Charles W. Anderson, the most
prominent Negro Republican in New
York State, is to be appointed by
President Roosevelt to succeed Chas
H. Treat as Collector of Internal Kew
enue at New York at a salary of
$500 year.
The appointment is to be person
al one Of the Presidents, and was op-
posed by the New York County Re
publican organization to the extent
that the organization favored Mr..
Treat for re-appointment. When
they left here Friday night for Wash
ington they still we're determined in
their fight for Mr.. Treat, though real
izing that the President would un-
doubtedIy have his way.
Evidently the matter was settled
before the New York delegation
reached Washington, for it was stated
in Washington Friday night that Mr..
Treat is to he promoted to the posi-
tion of Treasurer of the United States
to succeed Ellis H Roberts, and not
TO be put out to make way for Chas.
W. Anderson.
Chairman Odel and Senators De
pew and Platt have consented to the
appointment of Anderson. They were
not originally favorable to the APP
pointment, but all OF them like An
derson, and when the President in
formed them that he wished to ap-
point the we'll known Negro politician
all OF them acquiesced. Chairman
Odell was informed Of the matter be-
fore he left for Europe and made no
objection to the plan. Anderson has
been one of his most valuable lieuten-
ants, and his selection by the Presi-
dent was in no respect distasteful to
the State Chairman.
The appointment OF Anderson is
recognized as being made for the pur.
pose OF off-settlng the appointment Of
William D. Crum, Negro, as CoIlec-
tor of the Port Of Charleston. 1t has

Ing the day the chief justice handed
down the opinion of the court in the

In the present case complainants

Contrary to the Sherman Act.
And it is clear enough that the de-
livery to complainant of majority Of

a ratable distribution OF the remain

itself inequitable but would directly
contravene the object of the Sherman

Carbondale, ILL.,, April A report
from Zeigler H., sseeen miles from

and eighteen Injured by a gas explo-
sion in the Joseph Letter coal mine
there. The entire opening of the mine
at the surfaceis wrecked. ~
Although the explosion is attributed
to gas suspicion exists that there may
have been another cause. Only non
union men are employed in the mine
since the strike for increased wages
some months ago, resulting in riots
and the presence of militia and armed
guards. The last of the troops were
recently withdrawn, although reports
were current that there had been at
tempts to bribe officials to permit out
siders to gain entrance to the mine,
the supposed object being to make
the mine unavoidable. State Mine In

examination Of the shaft that $50
men were employed in two shifts.
