him.
The door was shut. Soon afterward
there was some discomfort expressed in
the hall. A report was brought to DR..
Tanner that one man was insisting on
getting his money back if he could not
see the faster.
"Don't let him 60 out" said DR.. Tan
ner. "Let him come in here and see me-"
Soon there was line of visitors filing
through the ante-room. DR.. Tanners
position on the table was taken for the
sake of getting fresh air but it served
admirably for the purpose .of exhibition.
Resting on the seat and leaning against
the back of the chair by which he had
mounted to the table was large piece
of pasteboard bearing the following
inscription:
PosiTivELY :i.i;'''''''''''':
NO questions answered by DR.. Tan :
: ner or physicians on watch This rule /:
: will be strictly enforced.
Among the visitors of the afternoon
were Gems. Daniel e. Sickles and Franz
Sigel, and e. o. Perrin, Clerk of the
Court of Appeals. In accordance with
the notice placed on the placard the At
tending physicians were silent, leaving
Mr.. Judson Sausse to dlspence scientlfic
information about the faster to such as
had come with pet questions to ask.
AT 81 o'clock carriage drawn by two
handsome bays drew up at the door. DR..
Tanner was off of his table and down
stairs like a shot.
Dr. Tanner returned from his drive at
u O'Clock, and was greeted with cheers
by throng that had assemble on the
steps. He rested few minutes in par
lor on the first floor, and then walked up
stairs TO the ante-room, where he soon
fell asleep on acct. He spent,two hours in
the carriage. The springwater jug was
LETT behind, and so a stop was made at
house on the corner of Riverside Drive
aud 108th street, where bottle was pro-
cured and where young lady presented
him with bouquet. He was frequently
recognized and cheered on the route.
He was inclined to be sleepy during
most of the time, but at times he was
cheerful aud talkative. Soon after his
return, tall, sun-burnt man, with spare
gray hair entered the hall. This was Dr..
Tanners brother-in-law, Monroe M
Gardner, of Litchheld, Medina county,
ONO. 1t is In his house that DR.. Tam
ners father resides. He said he had
come to New York because the mem-
DCIo Vi uio HOu5CuOlu WOI0 N0I muCA
concerned. His wife, he said, was great
ly alarmed for her brothers safety. Dr.,
Tanner was so tired a ter his long ride
that it was not deemed prudent to have
him see Mr.. Gardner then. Soon after
ward Dr. Tanner bounded out Of his cot
in the ante room, and leaving the bevy
of watchers and physicians who follow
ed him in a wedge, he bolted through
the door in the hall, and made three laps
around the hall with vim that made
some of the spectators smile, He car
ried his stout ebony cane half raised in
bis right hand and no spectator ventur-
ed to get In his way. When his brother
in-law saw this display of strength he
waited no longer in the hall, but ran
away to telegraph to Litcbneld what he
had seen.
1t was arranged that he should not see
his brother-in-law until 10 o'clock this
| morning. 1t was feared that If DIR. Tam
| her learned of his presence it would
turn his thoughts toward his home, and
in his nervous state it might prevent
hm getting as much sleep as he other
wise would.
From $50 o'clock he passed an excep-
tonally quiet evening, having but one
or two stOmachic distur Dances. At one
o'clock he was resting quietly.
