ONE of the safeguards of steamboat
travel has been let down by JUST e
Stanley Matthews of the supreme court.
The law provides that certificates per-
hitting the transportation of kerosene
oil OF steamers shall never be issued
save when the steamboat route is the
only practicable one to the point of des-
tination, and Judge Matthews rules that
the water route is the only practicable
one when. as compared Win the rates
by vessel, the railroad rate is prohibit
tory. Under this decision it is antici-
pated that the treasury department
will rule that local inspectors are to de-
eide whether the fluid can be carried
on steamers, leaving anyone who gets
blown up or burnt up, or thinks he Is
likely to be thus afflicted, the right to
collect damages if the courts will give
them to him.

THE PRESIDENT.

On Saturday, july %, dispatches
came from the national capital that
the president had suffered severe re-
lapse, and that the consulting phy-
sicians, Hamilton, of New York, and
Agnew, of Philadelphia, had been sum
moned to his bedside with all possible
speed On their arrival consul tation
was held over the patient, who during
the day had suffered from what the
doctors termed a rigor, accompanied
By severe chills. The cause of this
they claimed was due to a stoppage
of the flow of pus from the wound.
After due elaboration Il was decided
to perform an operation Ind open the
abscess which had formed about three
inches below the opening of the wound
and two inches from the surface. DR..
Agnew, of Philadelphia, was chosen to
handle the knife, which he did very
skillfully, striking the exact spot and
giving almost instant relief to the pa
tent by the discharge of a good amount
of pus. Since that time the president
has steadily gained as fast as could be
expected.
