NEED NO OPERATION.
Dr.. Page, Leading Boston Surgeon, Calls
It Criminal to Operate for
Appendicitis.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 4.-"An opera
ton for appendicitis should be called a
criminal operation, and as such should
be prohibited by law" So declares DR..
Charles E. Page, one of Boston's best
known physicians.
II have been following the records Of
appendicitis operations ever since the
craze for appendicectomy started" says
Dr. Page, ''and I confidently believe that
the day is coming when the people will
finally recognize that appendicectomy--
cutting of the appendicitis criminal
operation.
LAS for the widely proclaimed. bene-
fits and saving of life by operations to
cut the appendix, it seems hardly nee
essary to cite the long list of deaths
following the operation. Only recently
we have striking instances of Clyde
Fitch, the great playwright, and Gov.
Johnson of Minnesota.
1.-THE surgeons cut off Gov. Johnson s
appendix a year or SO ago; they operated
on him a second time, and on the third
he fell a victim to mistaken modern the
cries. I have kept track of the appendi-
cectomy deaths for twenty years and the
list is appalling"

Mrs Saville walked to her special
armchair, and, taking Prince into her
lap, stroked him mechanically, as was
her wont when she was thinking.

she mused Il ought to have suspect
ed 1t, but / did not, or I should have
sent him about his business. It Is nat
ural enough that the father and moth
or should be annoyed; but she Is too
good for him-a great deal too good.
But she Is silly, too, with her high
flown notions. We cannot defy the
Judgment and prejudices Of the world
we live in; obscurity and insignlfi-
canoe are abhorrent to most sane peo-
pie. Yet it Is impossible to doubt her
sincerity; and she is common-sensical
enough. Can 1t be that she is wise
and I am unwise?" Here Mrs. Sa-
vile put her little favorite on the car
pet and again rang the bell. This time
she desired that Hiss Desmond should
be sent to her.

peared. 81 do not walk enough.

At all events, she shall not trouble
me any more. I think we have had
enough of Paris. Richard is coming
over next week AS soon as he leaves,
shall go away to quaint little place
on the coast of Normandy, and recruit.
It will be very dull; but you are used
to that"
II rarely feel dull" returned Hope,
who secretly wondered why Mrs. Sa-
vile had quarreled with her sister-in-
law She was too decided, too peremp-
tory woman to be quarrelsome.
Could 1t be for any reason connected
with herself? Lumley said he had
communicated his intention to propose
for her (Hope) to his father. This, no
doubt, would have enraged his fam
lily; but she could not ask any ques-
tions. Indeed, she was thankful to
"let sleeping dogs lie" She had many
anxieties pressing on her young heart.
A very cloudy and uncertain future
lay before her "It is hard" she
thought, that, however good and trua
and loving a woman may be, if not
rich she Is thought unworthy to be the
helpmate of wealthy, Well-placed
man; any poor, struggling nobody is
good enough for her Yet it is among
the struggling nobodies that the finest
fellows are often found; so things
equalize themselves.

Herbert Parsons Says Speakership Was
Retained by Deal in Tammany
Votes

NEW YORK, Oct 4.-Herbert Par
sons, chairman of the Republican coun-
ty committee, charges that as result of
a deal between Republicans and Demo
Gratis bills to bring about honest elections
in New York were defeated in the Legis-
lature in return for the Democratic sup
port of Speaker Cannon in the House of
Representatives.
Mr.. Parsons, who is a member of the
House of Representatives, asserts that it
was upstate Republicans" who entered
into the deal which brought about Speak
er Cannon's triumph over the Republican
insurgents" in Congress and made pos
sible the continuance of Mr. Cannon as
speaker and the present rules of proceed
ure in the House.
William S. Bennett, who is also a
member of Congress and is now manag-
ing the mayoralty campaign of Otto T.
Barnard, said that he also was aware OF
such a deal, but he had no evidence that
would convict anyone before a judge and
jury. He declined to go into details
about the affair. The bills that were
sacrificed to make possible Cannon's tri-
umph over the insurgents" were known
as the Agnew-Ward bills, and they were
blocked in committee by the aid of Re-
publican votes.

GIRL IS LOCKED IN A TRUNK.
Reason for Hannibal, Mo-, Mans Strange
Action Is Puzzle

HANNIBAL, No., Oct. 4.-Sunday
afternoon while the Salvation Army peo
pie were holding a street meeting a man
entered their headquarters where Miss
Milling Stocking, aged 16, was left in
charge of a baby. Threatening her life
if she made an outcry, he cut down a
clothesline, bound it around her neck,
tightly tied her arms and feet, chucked
her in a 31ax2 foot trunk, shut down
the lid and left the premises. When the
army people returned the girl was nearly
dead from suffocation and suspension of
blood circulation, but was soon resusci-
tated. The reason for the mans strange
actions are puzzle. Miss Stockings

their recent trip through the western
states than on the influence of the Chris

CHICAGO. Ill, Oct. 4.-Chicago's
100000 German citizens Sunday COM
memorated the 216th anniversary of the
landing of the German pilgrim Fa-
TIERS and the founding of the first Ger
man colony in America-Ge
Pa.-with the biggest, most jubilant and
most successful celebration ever held
by the Teutonic race in this city. APP
proximately $4,000 persons took active
part in the demonstration. Thousands
of others witnessed it. Every element
of German society in Chicago, except the
purely church organizations, in some
way lent it their assistance, and the
latter remained passive, but not because
they in any way opposed it or deprecat-
ed the spirit in which it was undertaken
but because it was held on the Sabbath,
and they felt that their places of wor-
ship offered them more suitable oppor-
tunity of expression.

To Hope Mrs. Saville made no sign,
and she remained in complete ignor-
ance that her acute patroness had
been a hearer of Lumley's avowal.
There was something increasingly
kind and confidential, however, in her
tone and manner Hope was greatly
relieved by having thus disposed of
her admirer. That worry was at an
end; another, however, still remained.
Miss Dacre's feelings and magma
ton were greatly exercised by the
sudden disappearance of George Lum-
ley from the scene, and she grew quite
rayenous for Hopes society, that she
might wonder and conjecture and
maunder about his mysterious con-
duct, and 'cross-examine Hope as to
what she thought might, could, would,
or should have caused him thus sud
