wound is so important consideration
now. The president is very weak and is

Aug. 25.-In an interview with a reporter
of the associated press little before two
o'clock this afternoon DR.. Bliss said that
the condition of the president was sub.
stantially unchanged. His pulse at
the noon examination was higher
than at the same hour yesterday,
"but in patient so weak and
debilitated a transient fuctuation of
pulse to the effect Of six or eight beats
has no great significance. Any slight dis
turbance or excitement is sufficient" he
said, "to cause it. have seen his pulse
quickened four or five beats merely by
turning him over in bed. His pulse
was. taken this noon when it was
highest. Just before I came out
of his room 10 minutes ago, it was back
again to 104. That will show you how

THE WOUNDED PREsIDENr.

The Presidents condition is alarming, and
unless there is a change soon-very soon-it is
admitted at the White House he will not sur
vive. He is very weak, and of recent has been
out of his mind great deal, his faculties
wandering wildly. The trouble rises, it is now
admitted, from the swollen gland, and the con-
consequence of the serious complication Of
that gland in addition to not having dimin-
ished its swelling. Pus has accumulated in
half dozen cells of the gland in addition to
the one opened, to such an extent that by
making incisions in them, as much pus would
come forth from either of them as issued from
that already opened. 1t is also evident now
that the accumulation of pus is proceeding
downward in other cells. 1t is feared that t
will also go upward and reach the brain. These
signs indicate, in the most marked degree, that
blood poisoning has full hold on the patient,
ALI is gloom at the White House. The mem
bers of the Cabinet are very apprehensive.
There is nobody who thinks that there is more
than bare chance of recovery.
On THE 26th Secretary Blaine sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to Minister Lowell, London:
Lo,oeH, Minister, Loradon-While the Presi-
dent has made no gain to-day, his loss of
ground has been less, in the judgment of his
physicians, than was feared last night. In this
respect there is slight feeling of encourage
symptoms are still manifest, and one favorable
indication of the swallowing and digesting the
liquid food continues. Two or three times
during the day he has asked for nourishment.
He has spoken intelligently and voluntarily,
and throughout the day his mind has been less
to the parotid swelling from the discharge
through the ear has not been realized The
situation is one of great gravity and danger.

A Wonderful Original Play.

A young Milwaukee person has writ
ten play. The one prominent feature
is its wonderful originality. 1t is not
like anything we ever witnessed on the
stage, but of course we cannot say how
it might be received by the public. The
curtain rises upon a dead man the first
thing with the handle of dagger stick
ing out of his bosom, and the assassin
stands gloating over his victim for few
minutes, when, to the horror of the audi
ence, he seizes the handle of the fatal
weapon, and draws out a bright, gleam-
ing dagger, eleven feet long, and the
murdered man sits up and begins to
argue ON the currency question. The
scene changes, when q beautiful girl,
rugged up as angel with wings, and dress
ed In pink musquito bar and strung on
wires, floats through the air back and
forth half q dozen times, then plumes
her fight and disappears amid the paste
board clouds at the top of the stage. Act
third represents a piewoman selling
dried apple pies, and there is more or
less conversation of irrelevant nature
between her and customers, one man
producing a boot-heel swearing he
found it in the pie. There is no plot.
Plots have become so common in plays
that the public is tired of them. There
is no love, love having become old and
bald-headed and toothless. There is no
deep and terrible hatred, deep and ter
rible hatred being too snide, and what
fighting occurs is done merely to fill in
the time. The great object aimed at by
the author has been to make the play
original in every essential and he has
succeeded to wonderful degree.
