| QUIET DAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
There We're hardly any callers at the White
House to-day. 1t being the quietest day since
the shooting. Except several members of the
| Cabinet, Rev. DR.. Power. and few Others.
there were no callers. The liberal supply of
bulletins copied for distribution is not now
drawn on very extensively. There is very little
demand for them. The President this after
noon continues in his excellent condition.
He was neither feverish nor restless. He
was in every way like man
getting well from an injury. Dr. Reyburn said:
''His color is coming back and other changes
resultant from the strong food given him are
being noted. The President now weighs about
twenty pounds less than he did on the morning
that he went to the depot. The doctors will
not remove him until there is no possibility of
the removal causing shock or otherwise re-
tarding his progress"
