A TALK WITH DR.. BLISS.
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT TIE PRESIDENT DII


NOT SUFFER- FROM PYEMIA
irRoM SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRBuHEl
ELBERoN, n. j., Sept 2l.-Whe the crowd was
passing through the Francklyn cottage, the
doctors and other attendants visited the Elberon
Hotel. Attorney General MacVeagh was busy
in the telegraph office sending answers
to the many dispatches that were constantly re-
ceivcd DIR. Hamilton, looking weary and worn
stood with his back against pillar Of the hotel
watching tho crowd rs it passed into the cottage
He wore an ovcrcoat and u light straw hat pulled
over his eyes, and his appearance indicated eX-
treme dcspondcncy. He would not talk about the
case but listened closely to the discussion of others
about the Presidents ease. When spoken to he re-
piled that the official bulletin told all about the case
DIR. Reyburn, Colonel Corbin and other persons who
have been associated with the President in his long
sickness wandered to the hotel during the time that
the body was publicly exposed At one time Doctors
Hamilton Bliss and Reybum met on the veranda
and they stopped to speak. crowd Immediately
surrounded them to listen 10 their conversation but
the doctors very wisely separated.
DR.. Bliss in the Of brief conversation with
correspondent of THE TRIBUNE % the veranda of
the Eberon Hotel this morning, referred to state
ment published iii this mornings Tribune upon the
Authority of a gentleman who was prcSeut at the
autopsy last evening" He said in substance that II
was the unanimous opinion OF the surgeons who
had been officially connected with the case, that
the autopsy proved conelusivelY that there were
pypmIc symptoms i'll the Presidents condition.
Inc whole history of the case was beng officially
prepared and would be made public ~ carly as pos
81 De, and would certainly bear out the assertion
that there was pyamia in the Presidents system.
His reference to the of the bullet en-
bodied III very frank admission that the physic-
ians had all been mistaken IN regard to where 1t
was, but he said that the autopsy justified in every
particular the treatment OF the case.

sorrow and sympathy were maze by
large number of business and other
associations. The most important meet
ing for this purpose was that of the Union

were adopted and speeches were made by
Joseph III. Choate, Justice Noah Davis and

A New Theory About Food.

a German physician has started a
new theory with regard to food He
maintains that both the vegetarians and
the meat eaters are on the wrong track.
Vegetables are not more wholesome
than meat nor meat than vegetables,
and nothing is gained by consuming
compound of both. Whatever nutritive
qualities they may possess, he says, are
destroyed in great measure, and often
by the process of cooking. All food
should be eaten raw. If this practice
were adopted there would be little or
no illness among human beings They
would live their apportioned time and
simply fade away, like animals in wild
state, from old age Let those affected
with govt, rheumatism, and Indigestion,
try for a time the effect of simple,
uncooked diet, such as oysters and
fruit for instance, and they will find all
medicine unnecessary and such a rapid
improvement of their health that they
will forswear all cooked articles of food
at once and forever. Intemperance
would also, it is urged, no longer be the
curse of civilized communities. Tie
yearning for drink is caused i5y the un-
natural abstraction. from what are
termed solids" of the aqueous element
they contain-uncooked beef, for exam
pie, containing from 20 to so per cent,
and some vegetables even a larger pro
portion of water. There would be less
thirst, and consequently less desire to
drink if our food were consumed in its
natural state without first being sub
iected to the action of fire.

man, as such, of an allegation that she has
separate property, at the commencement OF
the action, does not render void judgment
against her in such action.
A declaration which shows valid con-
tract is sufficient, without showing the ex-
istence of a state of things which may be
necessary TO enable the plaintiff to obtain
satisfaction of such contract.
We neither express nor intimate an oPln-
ion on the question, whether married wo-
man, when sued on her contract, can escape
judgment, by showing in defense her
changed condition with respect to her sepa-
rate property, as having none, or only thai
acquired after the making of the contract
sued on, and not the proceeds of what she
had at the time of the contract Whatever
may be true as to that, she must defend on
that ground. The declaration must show
a caus of actione. A valid contract, not per-
formed, is a good cause OF action. If there
is sufficient reason for nonperformAnce, or, If
there has supervened a reason why 1t may
not be enforced, it must be pleaded as a
bar.

SPRING FASHIONS.

The new spring tweed for suits arr
all-wool, fine, soft, with an almost i'm
perceptible rib, and forty-six inche:
wide. They come in olive gray, brown
invisible green, and wine mixtures. al
from 81 to 81 % per yard, the cloth
stripes and minute checks being only
81, and very suitable for spring ulsters
as well as suits. Five yards make a
Scarborough ulster with double collar
or hood, as preferred, and no trimming
IS required except a quarter of a yard
of plain silk or satin as lining for the
hood, and buttons, which should be of
dark, smoked pearl. If the collar is
used instead of the hood, the edges
should be faced with silk and finished
with several rows of stitching.
The tweed suits are very simply made
in three different styles. One is the
Jersey princess dress, and is very suit
able and pretty for young girls The
lining for Jersey basque is heightened
into complete dress, and upon it is
mounted the outside of the basque
shape and deep-kilting which is head
ed by a wide sash laid in folds and
knotted at the side or finished with
straps. If the sash is silk or satin it
should be gathered into round knot
upon the ends and completed with
tassels, but if it is made of tweed the
straps are more suitable.
Another style consists of a skirt, polo
naise, draped away from the front and
arrarg ed in double plat at the back
and cape, with hood or without. The
skirt is arranged with three killings in
front and one at the back. 1t may be
mounted upon lining.
A third style consists of plain cuirass
basqe and trimmed skirt, the latter ar
ranged very much as the one with the
polonaise, except that the back is drap-
ed, not full, however, and low down.
With this and the Jersey dress a jacket
is usually made to complete the suit, |
and this may have collar of satin of
the darkest shade to match, or hood |
lined with satin.
The bonnet may be little capote of
satin trimmed with feathers, or dark |
mixed straw (Cabriolet) with a pretty
bunch of dark shaded leaves and field |
berries upon the side, and tapestry silk |
ribbon for bows and strings.
A great deal of robins egg and gems
darme blue will be worn by young girls,
these shades being particularly attrac-
tive in fine wool and in silk plush,
which is used for mounting rather than
for trimming, as it is usually confined
to collar and cuffs, although it some
times reappears upon the skirt.
Satin is also uesd by those who have
grown tired of plush during the winter,
and is preferred to brocade or figured
fabrics.
The new blue green or bird blue is not
yet to be found in any but rich materi-
satin de Lyon and the like
and the most expensive spring suits
are made of it and are trimmed with
bands of beaded feathers which match
exactly the different effects of color and
have wonderful effect.

Mrs. Stewart purchased land with her
ehildren's money, taking the deed in her
bwn name. In 1868 she sold it to Mrs Key
and gave a title bond, one-half the purchase
money being paid cash, and the balance to
be paid in twelve months. In 1870, after
maturity Of the deferred sum, Mrs. Key
hied, leaving the debt unpaid There has
been no administration upon her estate.
In 1874 Mrs. Stewart made a deed con-
Eeying the land to one Bullen in trust for
Der children.
In 1876 BulIen filed bill against the
heirs Of Mrs Key to subject the property
n the payment of the purchase money due
thereon.
To this bill demurrer was interposed,
Biting up the statute of limitations and a
#ant of equity. The demurrer was sus-
aimed and the bill dismissed. No appeal

The children Of Mrs. Stewart then filed
bis bill, setting forth the above facts and
Reking substantially the same relief as was
ought by the former bill.
The defendants demurred upon the ground
bat the debt was barred by the statute of

as concluded by the former adjudication.
The demurrer was sustained and the bill
dismissed. CompIainants appealed.
