SINCE we are now in the very hey
day OF watermelons, the Baltimore
Amsriean has issued a bulletin touch.
ing its preparation for the stomach
and scientific procedure in case u re-
belliOn ensues The hotel plan of
cutting a watermelon like a tulip, and
putting a lump Of ice in it, is con.
demned, because ice should never
touch the pulp; but a burial of the
uncut melon in ice for two days is
wise. Then cut lengthwise and eat
between meals. People deal I'M.
justly with this fruit sometimes by
eating a hearty dinner first, and then
topping off with "a melon, and then if
a moral earthquake sets up in the
interior they charge it to the melon.
The watermelon was intended as an
episOde-an interlude-a romance
without wOrds-a ~nOcturne in green
and red-nOt to be mingled with bacon
and greens. Its indulgence leaves a
certain ~epigastral expansion, but this
is painless and evanescent. The re-
medy is to loosen the waist.band, and
take another slice"

II PRESIDENT.

1t is not to he concealed that tho
confidence hitherto felt in the final
recovery of President Garfield is
giving way to the most gloomy anti
c%ipations. His long prOstratiOn and
sufferings have reduced him to so low
a point that we infer from all the facts
we are able to gain, his life hangs
upon SO brittle a thread that with Il
little more tension it will snap. and
send into deep mourning the millions
who have eagerly and hopefully
watched every bulletin from the pa
TENTS chamber for these long weeks
of agonizing fears.
The following is the official bulle-
tin, issued from the executive a
sion at s o'clock, evening, August
9th:
shortly after the noon bulletin was issued
an incision was made into the swelling On the
right side Of the Presidents face for tho pur-
pore of relieving the tension of the swollen
pirutid gland, ana ~ giving vent Ia the pus,
u small quantity ~ which was evacuated.
lie has taken a larger quantity of liquid food,

IL the death of George w. Riggs,
which occurred in Washington city
Aug. n, that city has lost one of its
wealthiest and most widely known
business men. Having been for 40
Yeas engaged in the banking bust
ness, beginning in 1895 with w. w.
Corcoran, the firm Of Corcoran &
Riggs has been TO this country in the
magnitude of its transactions, what
the house. of the Rothschild's has
been To the continent of Europe.
When the Mexican war found our
government in want of funds, this firm
aided them TO the extent of $5,000,.
900, and after that 10 the extent of
its needs. Mr.. Riggs was a public
spirited man, largely interested in
city affairs and improvements. He
dies i'm the Goth year of his age leav-
ing an example of application to
business worthy of imitation and
a reputation without a stain.

In answer to the question, "what

In answer to the question, "what
is this kOumiss" with which the
doctors are feeding the President
the Minneapolis Tribune furnishes this
explanation Koumiss is an acid and
slightly intoxicating beverage, first
introduced by the Kalmucks, and pre-.
pared by them from the soured and
fermented milk Of mares or camels.
1t is claimed that the wild tribes that
use it are free from pulmonary con-
sumption. and this has led to the use,
in Europe and America. Of an arti-
fetal kOumiss prepared from the milk
of cows. In the presidents case it
is given because Of its acidulOus and
very nutritive qualities, together
with the fact that his stomach toler-
ates it more readily than most other
substances. 1t is easily assimilated
even by persons greatly debilitated,
and hence is coming into wide use in
the sick room. The particular merit
of kOumiss consists in the fact that
1t contains nearly twice the proper.
ton Of milk-sugar that Is contained
in cows milk, the ratio being as 7S
to 48.

A LATE decision Of Judge Law.
renee, first comptroller of the treas
ury, maintains that if a contract with
the government is sold by the con-
tracing party, the contract itself is
annulled, and that any person or
party selling such a contract runs a
risk of obtaining no pay. The Opin.
ion is based on the ground that the
original contractor in each event does
not perform the service, and the
purchaser of the contract violates the
existing law. We have no govern.
ment contract on our hands, but wish
we had, for most of them pay better
than the small contracts that fall in
our way near home.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

We publish to-day in the FREE
PRESS the official notice of the Re.
publican State Committee calling Il
state Convention to be held in the
city of st. Paul on WEDNESDAY, SEP
TENDER IS. The large number of
State officers to be nominated and
elected this fall and the measurably
short period of time between the hold
ing of the State Convention and the
general election, call for the most
prompt, efficient and prudent action
Of every earnest Republican from this
time to the close of the polls in No.
vember.
TO maintain intact the Republican
ascendancy in "a young and growing
state, is a duty which devOlves upon
the humblest voter in the State, no
matter il he is not himself a candi-
date, his duty is nevertheless plain to
act, to give his advice a. to the best
men, to attend the primary caucuses
and see that u full and fair expression
is there obtained, and then harmony,
unity of action and the triumph of
Republican principles is sure to fol
low.
~InattentiOn, carelessness, leaving to
others the labor and responsibility of
doing that which equally devOlves as
a duty upon all, is reprehensible, and
should no longer mark the career OF
the party or endanger its harmony
and success.
With proper beginnings, marked
by energy and that unselfish devotion
whose inspiration is " everything for
the cause and nothing for men," when
we come to clear the decks for action,
with all our nominations, State and
county fairly and prudently made,
success is sure to reward our Ell
deavors. Then, with the assurance
Of our whole duty discharged, there
comes to every one this reflection: l
have done my whole duty and have
helped to place my native State or
the State of my adoption upon that
proud eminence which defies assault
and challenges admiration.
