Death Friday evening at 7:30 o.
clock claimed the spirit of Miss Mary
Effie Apple, the young lady passing
away at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Jennie Boyer, at River Park. Miss

Mrach l, 1877. and went to River
Park about two years ago from Val
paraiso.
The deceased had been in failing
health for the past nine months and
recently submitted to an operation
for appendicitis. This left her con-
stitution in weakened condition and
when tuberculosis of the throat set
in the end was only a matter of a
short time.

Canadians Attack Foreigners.

Following riot Saturday evening
in Vancouver, B. c., in which China
town and the Japanese quarters were
raided and damage done approximat-
ing $4,000, a further demonstration
occurred in which Kick Yiro Ishii,
chief of the Bureau of Foreign Com
merce and head of the Japanese con-
sular Saburo Hisamidzu, OF Seattle,
were the central figures and in which
riot a number of people were bruised
and injured by broken bottles and
flying bricks in the hands of fren-
zied mob. Baron Ishii and Consul
Hisamidzu finally made their escape
from the mob and a report of the
affair was Immediately cabled to To-
kio.
Coincident with the riot was the ar
rival of steamship having on board
at least five hundred Japanese. With
a common impulse the mob surged
to the water front and as soon as the
Japanese came down the gangplank
they were met by the rioters. Seven
or eight of the Japanese were uncere-
moniously picked up and thrown into
Burrard inlet.
Still further rioting occurred when
a crowd of four thousand laborers
started on the warpath, but these
were finally quelled by the police af-
ter about twenty arrests had been
made.
Sunday night Chinatown was roped
off and the quarters of the Orientals
were guarded by the police.
Baron Ishii gave out an interview
in which he stated that he had cabled
to Ambassador Kanako at London
apprising him of the stirring events
there
Indemnity from the city to the
amount of $4,000 will be claimed
Mayor Bethune declares the indem-
nifty will not be paid and the affair
will be taken up with the dominion
government.
Saturday nights rioting was the
worst in the history of western Can
ada, and international complications
are looked for
Baron Ishii visited the United
States for the purpose of investigat-
ing the recent ani-Japanese demon
strations in San Francisco. While
this was given out as the specific OBJ
ject of his visit, it was generally un-
derstood that his mission was TO
| make thorough study of the whole
Japanese question in the United
States and to ascertain the cause and
extent of whatever prejudice might
exist against the Japanese. He spent
some time in San Francisco, and, af-
ter travelling through the country,
came to British Columbia, where the
conditions arising from the recent in
flow of Japanese and Hindoos into
| the Northwest has caused serious
| disturbance of labor conditions

Pearl Button Industry in Northern
Indiana.

The Bureau of Fisheries at Wash
ington has ordered that an investiga-
ton be conducted for the purpose of
ascertaining whether the waters in
Lake Maxinkuckee are adapted TO
mussel growing. The rapid decrease
in the muSsel supply in the rivers of
the central West, is seriously affect
ing pearl burton industry and capi-
talists interested in the manufacture
of buttons from mussel Shells have
asked the Government to ascertain
whether. the small interior lakes are
adapted to the production of mus
sells.
If it is found that mussels thrive
in Lake Maxinkuckee, the Bureau of
Fisheries will undertake their propa-
CATION there on large stale. The
officers of the bureau have an inn
pressiou that all the small lakes in
northern Indiana might be utilized
for mussel production purposes. If
their ideas prove to be correct they
say the time may come when the
pearl button industry will thrive IN
the northern Indiana lake region
The lakes of Steuben county, the Off
GERS of the bureau say, are evidently
adapted to the growing of mussels
and they will be experimental with
after the possibilities of Lake Max
inkuckee have been tried out --Indi-

Jewish New Year 566s.

The Jewish New Year 566s, count
ing from the Hebraic account of Gre
alton began Sunday at sunset and
ended Mondoy at sunset. The Re-
formed or Progressive Jews cele,
brate only one day, Monday, while
the orthodox Jews observe two days
The reason for observing two days as
New Years day is given that in the
olden time when there was less ac-
curacy in determining the exact day
the event was ANNOUNCED by the kind
ling of fires on the hill tops. AS rains
sometimes extinguished these bea-
cons it became the custom to cele-
brae two days in order to make sure
and this custom among the orthodox
Jews has continued.

Civil War in Morocco.

The two sultans are sons of the
same father. They are daily issuing
passionate appeals to the patriotism
and religious enthusiasm of the ma
ton, each denouncing his rival as
worse than an inhdel and traitor to
Islam. Meanwhile the powers have
not decided whether to recognize
Mulai Hahz as sultan of the south,
seemingly awaiting the result of the
appeal to the arbitrament of civil
war

May Have Gary Girls Slayer.

Jacob Setver, so years old a tramp,
under arrest at Crown Point, Ind, is
believed by Sheriff F. c. Carter to
be the long sought murderer of 10
year old Lizzie Schroeder, who was
found dying from a brutal assault in
woods near her home in Garv a few
weeks ago.
Setver was captured after an excit-
ing chase by posse of Gary citizens,
led by James Hillman in an automo-
bile, following N insult to Mrs.
James Frank of Gary while she was
picking blackberries. He wore blue
overalls and slouch hat like the man
Ella Schroeder. sister of the murder
er girl, saw near the scene of the
crime. His shoes were studded with
hobnails, such as marked the out
stretched hand of the dead girl.
A force of deputy sheriffs is guard
ing the jail at Crown Point to pre-
vent the possibility of a lynching.
Mrs Frank was picking berries two
miles south of Gary when Setver
stepped from the bushes and came
upon her unawares. He made an in
sulting remark and Mrs. Frank struck
him in the face with her fist. The
strong woman's defense of herself
frightened the man and he ran.
Mrs. Frank hurried to neighbor-
ing farm house, where the excitement
of her adventure caused her collapse.
James Hillman and "Gib" Bullock of
Gary, who were driving by, started
in pursuit. While following the trail
of the fugitive they met a party of
Chicago autoists, who volunteered
to take Hillman to- Gary to arouse
the citizens
Hillman spread the alarm through
Gary, and posse of several hundred
excited men was soon formed. Hill
man, with Marshall Rose and Police
man Williams, in his automobile led
the man hunt out into the sand dunes
and sorub timber.
In the meantime Bullock, who was
doggedly pursuing the chase alone,
ran upon Setver in an unfrequented
woodland lane He recognized him
at once from Mrs Franks descrip-
ton. He asked Setver if he did not
want to ride. He declined the invi-
tation. Bullock thereupon sprang to
the ground, threw a revolver into
the tramp's face, and ordered him to
climb into the buggy.
After driving several miles with his
prisoner, he fell in with Hillman's
posse and surrendered Sewer to Mar
shall Rose There were. cries of
Lynch him" from the crowd, but no
violence was offered. The situation
looked so threatening after the NEWS
of the arrest had been bruited
through Gary that the prisoner was
hustled to Crown Point.
"Setver answers the description of
the Schroeder murderer" said Sher-
iff Carter "He admits he was in Gary
the day the crime was committed,
but is unable to give a clear account
of himself / believe have the right
man at last"

Opportunity Rather Than Salary.

That opportunity should be rated
higher than salary by the young man
entering business life is the opinion
of John A. Rowland in a recent arti-
Gle. Rather an opportunity to rise
than an extra dollar or two in the
pay envelope. Among mechanics the
piece-work system that prevails in
many large factories is a detriment
to progress. The young man without
experience may sit down at an auto
matte machine and in a few days be-
come expert enough to earn a con-
siderable wage. Immediately all pos
sibility of his ever becoming an ap-
prentice to the trade of machinist is
blasted out. Unless a young man
may have trained for a profession or
specialized occupation, too little
thought is given to the postgraduate
training that should come to every
one by association with an establish
ed business where the imprint of
practical business methods is plainly
visible. In seeking a position for
this training, avoid a one-man es-
tablishment where the head of the
house is supreme authority and the
subordinates have no direct respon-
sibilities, for it is by assuming re-
sponsibilties that the ambitious man
progresses.
An example of this sort of young
man is the general manager of one
of the vast mail order establishments
of Chicago, who is only twenty-seven
now and entered the employ of the
same firm when he was seventeen
1t requires sometimes more lib
erality in an employer TO give oppor-
tunity to young man than it does
to endow a church or a hospital Op-
portunity and generous compensa-
ton combined at first thought appear
to be an ideal arrangement, but it is
possible that such condition would
tend to lower the effort to attain
greater things.-South Bend Times.

famous old American man of war
the 65 year old sloop Saratoga The
venerable Saratoga which made a
name for itself in the suppression of
the slave traffic and in the Mexican
war, and which had among its COM
mandants such famous sailors

Latest Theory of Appendicitis.

That there has been an increase in
in the last generation or less seems
fully established Some Investigators
have thought that the increase was
not in the disease itself. but in the
accuracy of the diagnosis. Such in
vestigations as that of DR.. Fenwick
into the post-mortem examinations
of the London Hospital are, however,
not compatible with this interpreta-
ton. DR.. Fenwick found in forty
years prior to 1884 only nineteen
cases of trouble in the appendix
shown in the hospitals records.
The latest theory as to the reason
for the increase in the disease has
been advanced by Dr. W. H. Battle,
surgeon to ST. Thomas Hospital in
London. 1t is, in short, that when
the ROLLER process for making wheat
flour was introduced particles of iron
began to be common in flour, and
that these particles, finding their way
into the appendix, would form the
neucleus for concretions that make
the trouble. Such concretions were
once commonly described as grape or
apple seeds, but are now recognized
in the great majority of cases to be
of entirely different character, being
formed inside the appendix around
some minue neucleus and not carried
in from without
The surgeon does not claim that
all appendicitis is due to the pres
ence of such connections, nor that
iron particles are the nuclei in all
cases where concretions do occur,
but only that the great increase of
appendicitis is very probably due to
the prevalence of iron particles in
rolled -four.
The remedy is not, as some flip
pant persons may think, the aband-
onment of the use of wheat flour, but
instead the compulsory publication
of flour from iron particles. This
can be accomplished by the use of
magnets as the -four passes from the
rollers to the bags.

A Hint From Bulgaria.

Bulgaria is so young as an inde-
pendent nation and so far remote
from what we are pleased to call the
centers of progress that we common
ly think of what we can teach her
and not of what we can learn from
her. At recent international con-
gress of school hygiene, however, one
of the speakers, an English woman,
described the manner of medical in
spection of school children univer-
sally used in Bulgaria and recon-
mended that its good features be
adopted in England, a recommends
ton which received much approval
from her hearers.
Twenty-Five years ago only 10 or
IL per cent of the recruits in the Bull
garian army could write Today 81
per cent. can both read and write,
and the remaining per cent is COM
posed of nationalities other than Bull
garian. The thoroughness of this
achievement in education is now be-
ing paralleled by the thoroughness
of the work of medical inspection,
which was commenced four years
ago.
In each secondary school medi-
cal practitioner is in attendance as
many hours each day as is necessary.
In girls schools this attendant is a
woman. There is consulting room
in each school building fully equip
ped. The child on HIS first admission
to the school is given thorough
physical and medical examination. A
complete record of the various tests
is made, together with facts about
the parents health and previous dis
eases. Even the teeth are examined
Such an examination .s repeated four
times year in the lower grades and
twice a year in the upper grades. Any
defects are reported to the parents
for treatment by the family physi-
clan. The medical Inspector visits
each classroom every day and
watches the children. On signs OF
sickness child is sent home, and if
necessary made to stay there till well.
A special list of pupils suffering from
serious disorders, such as heart dis
ease is made, and special watchful-
ness toward them is maintained. In
he girls schools at Sophia it is said
that not single case of infectious
disease among the day scholars in
three years has got past the consult
ing-room and that here has been no
case among the boarders. All child
rem with tubercu'o osis or even predis-
posed to it are excluded from the
schools and sent either to sanatori-
ums or to- the open-air life aad tonic
treatment of the Colonies Scolaires,
provided for their benefit The medi-
cal Inspector ir addition gives in
struction in physiology, watches the
gymnasium work and gives special
courses to teachers Very poor child
rem are, provided with free medical
attendanc and proper food The rec
ord of each child is kept in a separ-
ate book, and at the end of its school
work its complete history from this
point of view is on file.
