at once. All we can reasonably expect, he
says, is that the patient will hold his own
a few days. II he makes a slight i'm
provement it will be perfectly satisfactory.
The doctor says he has not noticed any
symptoms Of another crisis. The pros
poets for his final recovery are very fair,
but in a case OF this kind no one can say
positively that the patient will recover.
Therefore, he could not make any definite
prediction on that point.
Rev. F. D. Powers, pastor of the ver-
mont Avenue Christian Church of this
city, has written a letter concerning the
Presidents character as a Christian man,
in which he says he never hesitated when
it was necessary to testify to his faith. He
has lectured publicly in the Christian
Church within two years on the evidences
of the Christian religion, and has for the
past six years been a devout and constant
worshiper and i-communicant, taking into
estimate the temptations attendant upon
such a career, the general looseness of
Washington life and political life, the esv
pecially marked unfaithfulness of Chris
tian men when they attain such promi-
nence in official position, and the extreme
poverty and obscurity of his brethren in
Washington, together with their poor
house of worship, I esteem him as an I'M
usual Christian man, faithful when nine
out of ten woald have failed.
Last Saturday morning the President
was at his worst. Nearly all hope Of his
recovery had gone. DR.. Hamilton fingered
after the morning dressing Of the wound,
and made the discovery that the yolk of
eggs. which had formed a part of the enc
ma for several days, had not been assimil-
ating thoroughly, if at all, and were pois-
oning the system. Without waiting to
| make known his discovery, or to consult
with his associates, he rushed TO a drug
store and purchased a supply Of powdered
charcoal. He Immediately administered
an injection containing a large proportion
Of charcoal. The effect was apparent al
most Immediately, and the incident marked
the turning point in the Presidents condi-
ton. There is scarcely any doubt that the
presence of this undigested mass was the
cause of the %glandular affection which
came SO near terminating the life Of the
President.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Aug. 31-2:30A. NJ.

The wires broke down east Of Omaha
