York They became instant friends
Both considered themselves free
agents, for the baroness had parted
from her husband two years before,
while the wife of the professor was
dead. She had left him a small for
tune and he had given up his profess
sorship at the university
The romance begun on the train
bore the two to Europe. where for
six years they lived a life of con
tfnuous gayety. Then the baroness
visited her old home in the United
States. On her return to Europe she
was less devoted to Appleby though
she still continued TO live with him
until 1910, when they parted for
good. 1t was before the separation
that the necklace purchase was made
The testimony shows such strong
infatuation on AppIeby's part that
he would have been glad TO marry
the baroness, although the annuity
of $4,000 which his wife had be-
queathed to him was to last only
while he remained single. In order
TO make the way clear for a mar
riage Appleby worked a deal with
his wife's relatives whereby he re-
ceived lump sum of $4,000 cash
in lieu of all future annuity. Out
of this sum he settled on the baron
ess $3.50 year and passed over
to her house at Maidenhead. But
she refused 10 marry him. She is
now meeting his suit for $4,000
with a counterciaim for sl7.500 for
arrears In settlement payments and
for deed 10 the house. His reply
to these claims is that he agreed
to the settlement and tc the gift Of
the house solely 10 hush her threata
to leave him for some lover in China
or another In New York. He now
says there is still another lover. -

HOMEOPATHY

The following article is taken from
a paper by DIR. j. Arthur Billiard of
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and ex-
presses the consensus Of opinion Of all
who have carefully observed the re-
suits Of the various methods Of treat
ment for appendicitis.
II have for many years maintained
that the appendix was not placed in
the human abdomen by chance or az
a leftover and in a paper read by me
to our medical society in 1895, I stat
ed that its probable function was to
secrete and discharge into the intes-
final canal a normal lubricating mu-
Gus at stated times, and that it was
not unlikely that the healthy activity
Of the intesttnes depended at least in
some degree, upon this much abused
organ. :"
This is now the accepted opinion of
many prominent physicians and sur
geons of all accredited schools Of
medicine. Strong pleas are being
made that surgeons cease from per-
forming appendix operations for any
except the most urgent reasons
After treating hundreds Of cases
successfully without the knife, I am
more than ever convinced that Home
opathic prescribing will cure more
than ninety per cent of those afflicted
and without jeopardy"

selton and lodged them in Jail, where
they will await hearing before Justice
Walker Of Casselton.
The Italians claimed that they had
a nice little garden at New Mason and
that O'Brien had a cow that would
break away and get into the garden

states that there Is no truth in the
statement II that he has been hav-
ing trouble with the three men all
summer and that they had intimated
that they would get him some time.
One of the Italians has been working
on O'Brien's gang. the other two men
are brothers Of the New Mason italian

the Italians kept out in front
Of his house and every time he ap-
peared they would pull guns on him

ally a prisoner for some time.
