Reducing the Temperature.


WASHINGTON, July 6.--The physi-
clans of the President determined
yesterday to resort to artificial means
for reducing the temperature of the
Presidents bedroom, and keeping
it's air as pure as possible. They
thought of half dozen methods, all
on very nearly the same principle,
i. e., the evaporation of iced water.
They determined at first to send for
some apparatus calculated to effect
their purpose, to Boston and Now
York. They thought of combining
with the eyaporatlng apparatus a
system of great fans similar to Indi-
an punkahs. This morning, howey-
Ell. was so hot, and the temperature
of the sick-room was So high, that
they determined to improyise some
simple apparatus by which inc
end desired could be accom>
pllshed. They decided upon
very simple machinery. They
directed that four galvanized IRON
shallow troughs be manufactured,
and that wires he stretched across
the ceiling Of the room from wall to
wall in front Of the windows, Under
these wires they propose to place the
troughs and upon the wires they
proposed to suspend linen sheets so
that their lower ends would depend
in the troughs. In the latter they
proposed placing iced water tine
tured with ammonia. They conided
the execution Of their plan to the
efficient private secretary, j. Stanley
Brown. His task was simple. but
delicate. He executed it with per-
feet success. Throughout the day
he was constantly engaged on a high
step ladder, noiselessly placing IN
position the wires upon which the alb
sorbing linen was to be hung. This
had to be done without annoying the
President. It was so done. The Presi-
dent took o decided interest in the
operations, complimentlng his faith,
ful Secretary for his deftness. But
he was not excited by it. In the
morning, Brown had looked up a
galvanized iron works and explained
to the manufacturer what he wanted.
The manufacturer set his most skill
ful workmen at work and had the
shallow and narrow little troughs
ready as soon as Brown was ready
for them. About this evening all
the wires were up and the linen sus-
pended on them. On the floor of the
private secretary's room lay the un-
painted but neatly constructed
troughs. Brown carried them him
self into the Presidents room and
| laiI +h~- t.rAao- Sno depending nuo,
sheets. Then the iced water and
ammonia were poured in. The Ca
| pillary tubes in the linen licked it up
and the soft breeze stealing languidly
through the long windows, strucl
full upon it and passed through it
The temperature of the room fell q
once perceptibly several degrees. 4
grateful look, a murmured thanks
from the President and Mrs. GARFIELD
almost simultaneously, more than re
warded the hard worked privat'
| secretary.

The Unsuccessful Attack on President
Jackson.

Omltting any account Of the assassi-
nation of President Lincoln, it may be
stated that the only other murderous at
tack upon an American President preyi-
Gus to the tragic event of July 2nd, was
the unsuccessful assault upon President
jackson. This occurred January Both
1888. The President was attending at
the Capital the funeral of the Hon. War
ren Il Davis, a late Representative in
Congress from Sodth Carolina. While
stepping out upon the portico, holding
the arm Of Mr.. Woodbury., the Secrcti-
ry Of the Navy, he was confronted by a
stranger, who, at the distance of eight
feet, deliberately levcled a pistol at him
and pulled the trigger The weapon
missed fire. He dropped it and instant
y drew another, which also missed fire.
