Baptist Fund Restored.

The attempt to restore the Baptist convention fund was great under taking. Official announcement at Mys- tic yesterday that the task has been completed will please many people.
 The fund was footed by Treasurer w F. Walker of New Britain. He stole over $50, ,00O from it. Discovery of the embezzlement caused surprise and shock, and it inflicted a hard blow on the Baptist organization of Connecticut. To build up the fund anew was like paying for dead horse. The Baptists of Connecticut are not rich, and the demands on their purses are not few or small
 Recognizing that the only thing for them to do was to buckle to and re- store the fund, they went to work. The business is now finished. The money that has actually been paid in and the pledges that have been made are sufficient to restore the depleted fund to it's former proportions. In or- der to accomplish the task many sac- rificeS have been made and many plans changed. Numerous were the resDonses to the appeal
 The success which has crowned the work is 8 tribute to the character of the Baptists of Connecticut. It re- fleets credit on their charity, their zeal. their perseverance. We suppose that no S5O,OO0 was ever before raised In Connecticut under such circum- stances-and we trust that the occa- sion for such another effort will never arise.
 The lessons which have been taught by the footing and the restoration will not be lost. Business safguards are now thrown around the fund. and the administration of it is conducted on more scientific principles. The expe- rience has, indeed, been costly. but it has not been wasted.-Hartford Times

A PROPER KICK.

The New Britain Herald complains because that city has been left out of the 64 cities noted for their growth since the last census. by Printers Ink trade publication of which the gen. eral public knows little, but of inn portauce because it finds ifs way into most of the 50.00O printing offices in this country and through them may find CO hrmation in the newspapers. This h what it says of it's pushing, en- tcrprising community: The popula- ton of New Britain has increased 2O.O00 in ten years; and reference is made to New Haven with it's increase of 17,6OO and Bridgeport with it's growth of 17,7OO but the publication ls silent on New Britain which though smaller in total population, shows a greater increase in growth than either "ar of the two cities above mentioned 1ir althor Of the article in Printers ink says that growing toWus are the nest fields for advertisers This is true, and is especially so of New Britain noted notwithstanding town where practically all the people are employed in the factories and who rr'st read the EeN spapers to ascertain what is for sale and where is the best place C. buy.
 When the last census vas taken the city's population was given at about 25000 and the town at approx imateiy 2,000. making about 2S000 in all Few people upders, ,ogd the mean inS of these figures and while some thought he population was represent c1 in the former number, there were others who pinned their faith to the laitrF, but no one outside of the city thought Of combining the two. The number of names in the directory has bfn used as basis of computation ever since, and these figures show New Britain to be growing at q re- markable rate"
 Good for New Britain, If she keeps on, in ten years more she will stand ahead of Norwich for population and we shall have to look up to her.

On Removina the Appsndix.

A short time ago Dr. Chase, lead ing physician in the city of Boston. made the statement that in his opinion operations for aTaan Hicit'e should be placed by law in iIla cate gory of criminal acts. He stated that there were many more fatalities than cures resulting from such operations and gave it as his belief that many of the cases resulting fatally when oper- ations were performed might have been successfully treated. His state ments were very positive, and he pre- sented formidable array of figures.
 Now comes the foreign medical jour nals with the statement that the lead ing German doctors and surgeons are advising strongly against the practice of indiscrlminate operations for this disease. They are said to be using their influence to call a halt in this matter. The Teutons state that dur ing the past 10 years most of the op- erations performed were not only un- necessary but that in a very large majority of cases they were distinctly detrimental where they were not in- deed fatal. The statistics they pre- sent are overwhelmingly against the cure by operation.
 One of the earliest cases that re- ceived widespread notice in this coun- try was that of the operation per- formed on Elliott F. Shepard, the owner and editor of the New York Mail and Express. This was one of the fatal cases. But the operation became a fad largely through the prominence of MT. Shepard, who was very wealthy man, a son-in-law of Commodore Vanderbilt. However, no matter how fashionable it has been to have the vermiform appendix ab- breviated. there have been so many fatalities that the opposition of many leading lights in the medical world may result speedily in the disuse of the operation excepting as a last re- sort.-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
