RESTING EASY.
r.. Woodvord.s ExpInnation.

DIR. WOOdward's Explanation.
DIR. Woodward, in speaking of this phase
of the case, said "The patient is very
sick man. He is injured in the liver, ana
| is by no means out of danger yet. Under
| such conditions considerable fever must be
expected and for fever patient surely q
pulsation of 10S is not remarkable. Inc
normal respiration of the patient is perhaps
| 1S. The excess at present is only in nc.
cordancc with the increased pulsation, and
| the tcmperature is scarcely more marked.
A fluctuation of three degrees in such pa
ticnt's temperature from morning until
night is not unusual. The patient has been
doing so well that these fluctuations cause
natural but unnecessary alarm. The situa-
ton last night caused anxiety to the physi-
clans, chiefly on account of the effect it
would have on the public"
Miss MoIIie Garheld's Nerve.
Judge Swain, in conversation with a re-
porter last evening, said he wanted no bet
ter evidence of the theory of hereditary
transmission than the exhibition of nerve
made by Miss Mollic Garfield on the day of
the shooting. When she arrived with her
mother she had every reason to believe,
| from what she had heard, that her father
would not live an hour. Yet she met him
with wonderful composure, took his hand,
addressed him naturally, patted his head
and acted MS a second edition of her mother
as long as she was in the room. such an
exhibition of nerve" said Gen. Swain,
Speaks well for the stock, sure rs you
live"
Correcting II misrepresentation.
| A gentleman who arrived in this city
from New York yesterday says that there is
an impression among persons in that city
that the bulletins issued regarding the
Presidents condition arc more or less col
ored, for the purpose of allaying public APP
prehcnsion. He also says that many per.
sons incline to the opinion that the original
| kilograms sent from time to time to Drs.
Agnew and Hamilton, the consulting physi-
Clans regarding the Presidents condition,
are not given out for publication, and that
the kilograms purporting to be copies OF
those sent to the consulting physicians arc
prepared for the purpose of allying any
undue excitement and, consequently, do
not give the condition of the President
as il really appears These theories, if they
do exist, are entirely erroneous, inasmuch as
the "ofiical bulletins issued are written by
the physicians in charge, and describe the
Presidents true condition at the time of
their issuance. The same plan is adopted
with regard to the information which is
dispatched to the consulting physicians In
| both instances the contents are invariably
telegraphed to the press from the original
copies. 1t is not the intention of the attend
ing physicians to express any oInnion IN
the bulletins issued. but merely to convey
to the public the patients true condition
from time to time. DIR. Bliss says that this
method was agreed upon as the most adj
visilble, as it offers an opportunity to those
interested to confer with their respective
medical advisers and form their own opinion
as to the probable result of the Presidents
injuries.
Recovery Only u Question OF Time.
Marshal Henry and Prof. Hinsdale, of
Hiram College, left for Ohio last evening,
satisfied that the Presidents recovery was
only u question of time. Marshal Henry
will visit the Presidents mother and
younger children at Mentor, and give them
an account of the Presidents condition.
Only One Cooling Apparatus In Use.
| Jennings apparatus is now the only one
in use mt the Executive Mansion. 1t is
giving so much satisfaction that all the
other inventors on hand, including Professor
Dorsey, have boen notified to discontinue
their experiments and remove their ma
chinery and other apparatus. This will clear
the eastern yard of an immense amount of
machinery, including boilers, derricks and
other appliances. Mr.. Jennings apparatus
was built for use in the process of refining
lard, and has been in use about eighteen
