WILLARD BLISS,

WILLARD BLISS,
who is in charge Of this most important
OF cases, was born at Auburn, N. Y, in
1875. He graduated at the Medical Col
lege, Cleveland, in 1916, and after prac
ticing at Iona and Grand Rapids. in
Michigan, he removed to Detroit shortly
before the breaking out of the rebellion.
When hostilities commenced, he was
commissioned Surgeon of the Third
Michigan Volunteers, and was in charge
Of the division field hospital at Bull
Run. Subsequently some of the most
important medical trusts of the cam
paign were handed over to his skill and
patriotism, both of which he evinced in
a marked degree, and sometimes under
the most trying circumstances, having
at times had charge of from $4,000 to
$4,000 patients. On the organization of
the Board of Health of the District of
Columbia, he was appointed one of its
members, and was afterward elected it's
President. Subsequently, the Medical
Society Of the District placed itself in
opposition to him, because, as was al
legged, he was the t,iscoverer and abetter
of the famous cure for cancer, "Cundu-
range" which the society thought prop
er to denOunce as a quack medicine.

with Willie in his arms, pressed closely
to his breast, laughing and crying at the

nearly to death. Mrs. Morrison was not
in the room she had just gone out
with DR.. Johnson, the chambermaid
said.
A thrill Of sensation ran over me at
the moment.

But she could not tell certainly. The
gentleman had said something about

sank within me. Willie caught n

She started and turned, and Morrison
sprang forward with the child in his
arms, but before he could reach her she
had fallen prone upon the pavement.
But she came to quickly, and the greet
ings between husband and wife were 81

turned to the hotel, leaning upon Nor

My fears were unfounded she had re-
fused to marry johnson. even after he
had decoyed her TO the Office of Justice

The Baltimore American tells how to
eat watermelon. The hotel plan of put
ting lump of ice in it, is condemned;
because ice should never touch the pulp,
but q burial of the uncut melon in ice
for two days is wise. Then cut length
wise and eat between meals. People
deal uniustly with this fruit sometimes
by eating a hearty dinner first. and then
top off with a melon, and then if q moral
earthquake sets mp in the interior, they
charge it to the melon. The watermei-
on was intended as an episode--an in
terlude-a romance without words-a
nocturne in green and red-nOt to be
mingled with bacon and greens. It's in

escent. The remedy IS to loosen the
waistband, and-take another slice.

The ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION

Sixteen years ago, when Abraham Lin
coin was slain by an assassins bullet, by
D. eXtraneouS prompting. by 10 impulse
save that Of the heart. the common grief
assumed one common garb; thoughtless
men bowed themselves in tears, while
the devout betook themselves to prayer.
If so be, what verify seemed curse from
Heaven, might pass from us as Nation.
Since that memorable day, SO pregnant of
forebodings of evil, no event has occurred
in our National history that has excited SO
profound q sensation as the attempt upon
the life of President Garfield. on Satur-
day The act is wholly exceptional in it's
wantonness. the isolated wickedness of
j;S perpetrator, is uurelievcd by single
circumstance, that can excite sympathy,
even whiio the hackneyed plea of the
-iGsiuity--is accorded its full
force. Apart from the individual sym
pathy that it excites for President Gar
field, the man, husband, son and father,
evirciug under the very shadow of death
those admirable personal qualities Of
patience, fortitude. heroism and which
have endeared him SO closely to those
who arc honored by his friendship, it has
beside stirred the righteous indignation

Of the American masses that the official
dignjtY which they themselves have con-
ferred, 1T a time Of profound peace, when
plenty smiles at every mans door, to-
wards which the arm of industry beckons
her, and the grim demons Of want or
oppression threaten no man ; house
bold, should be thus wantonly assailed.
Besides, if dignity be properly predicated
Of crime, the criminal Guiteau ranks
far below the slayer of the "martyr"
President. For Booth had at least 4
supposed inspiration for his crime, in a
misguided but no less wicked sentiment
Of patriotism. Treason lay gaSping III
its last tolls. and he was on principle its
champion. But Guiteau, the rogue.
tramp and impostor, offers nothing in his
hfe's record to mitigate his offence
against civilization. which, in our ,iudg-
ment. depravity and not insanity has in
spircd. 1t is relief to know that its
perpetrator stands alone i'll his intamy.
That the shock. unwelcome as it is, has no
merely political significance, which the
enemy of Republican forms of govern
ment can legitimately sieze upon as dem
onstrating their weakness. Although a
week has passed since the nefarious crime
was attempted. there has been no dis
turbance of our political, financial or
commercial status as a Nation. On the
other hand, there is scarcely an Euro
/ pean power in which similar event
| would not cost political revolution.

His iavoritc method was to call ana

! THE AssAssIN's ARRANGEMENTS.
/ That the assassination of Garfield had
! been delibcrated on and carefully planned
! by him is plainly apparent from the ORA
matte manner of its execution and the
! papers prepared beforehand. He had
arranged with the colored driver of hack
! 1876, named Aquilla Barton, to drive him
away from the depot the instant the
! bloody deed was accomplished. The
hachman is a very smart colored man
and says he was approached by Guiteau,
! who was perfect stranger to him, and
asked if lie had Il team that would go
! very fast: he should need one pretty
! soon. The hackman said he had and
asked him where he wanted to go. The
stranger replied that lie wanted to 20 TO
! the cemetery and would give him two
! dollars to drive him there as fast as the
| horses could go. He then gave direc-
! tons for the hack to stand at B street
door and take him up at a given signal
and drive away without stopping to ask
! questions.

IT is repdgnant TO American ideas for
the President Of the Republic TO go about

The detective force recommended for the
White House would watch the PreSi-
dents movements whenever he ventured
