CHURCH, this city, has written letter regard,
Ing the Presidents character as Christian,
In which he says he has never hesitated, when
necessary, to testify to his faith. He has lee
tured publicly in a Christian church within
two years on the evidences of Christian re-
ligion, and has for years been devout and
constant worshiper and communicant, taking
into estimate all the temptations attendant on
such career, the general looseness OF WASH
ington and political life especially.
DR.. Hamilton arrived in the city at l0:3O
tonight, and DR.. Agnew expects to leave for
Philadelphia tomorrow.
Private Secretary Brown said this evening
Prof. Bell has succeeded in perfecting the in
induction balance by which he maintains he
can locate precisely the ball in the Presidents
BODY. 1t has not heen determined by the ex-
pertinent, however.
The members of the cabinet were at the
mansion until quite late hour tonight.
BLOOD POISONING.
Late this evening DIR. Boynton said were it
not for the advent of septicema in the Presi-
dents system he would ROW be convalescent.
The stomach trouble of two weeks ago,
the glandular complication, the stupor and de-
lirium, the rapid pulse, loss of strength, etc.,
were all due to this cause. The wonderful
vitality of the President enabled him to over
come all dangers and complications attending
the wound prior to the occurrence OF blood
poisoning. In his case septica had undermined
the very foundations of life, producing
condition much resembling typhoid fever,
attended with stupor, delerium and
great prostration. The process of digestion
and assimilation had been pretty much arrest
ed; that although he partook of sufficient
amount of food he became greatly emaciated
and exhausted. The blood, besides
being vitiated by the absorption of
septic matter, became more and more
depraved on account of the inability OF the
system to assimilate and transform it into
blood He's been laboring under this blood
poisoning some time, and during the past
week it became evident, unless favorable
change occurred, his vital powers
would give way. The problem
was now to sustain his strength until
NATURE COULD ELIMINATE THE POISON.
If the blood poison continues to be elimi-
mated ,and no more septic matters be absorbed,
he will slowly out surely regain his strength.
In his present condition it is not
impossible there may be further absorption
of septic matter bringing with it serious CON-
plications, but it is confidently hoped such
will not be the case. No irreparable mischief
has occurred to any vital organs and recovery
is more than probable.

sufferer died, and others of the family
were taken with this dreaded disease

there being six in the family is now
lying at the point of death. DR.. Goddard,
who has been attending the children,

A Sound Platform Enunciated Upon
Which 10 Go TO the People.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-The Tammauy COM
mittee on organization met to-day and passed
resolutions cenouncing the encroacbment of
cooperative monopolies, declaring the Demo-
cratic party would not only earnestly enunciate
the principles and platforms, but embody them
in laws which, while recognizing the rights
of capitalists would also protect the public
interests; that laws Furnishing the use OF
money in elections and bribery of legislators,
should be so amended that the chances of de-
tectlon be increased, and that our canals
should be made free and improved, So they
may meet the increased competition, to which
they are now exposed.

Holding His Oicn.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The Presidents
condition tonight, as compared with LAST
night, is practically unchanged. If there is
anv change it has been for the better, but The
change is not sufficiently great to say the i'm
provement, If any, is marked. The whole mat
ter would perhaps be better explained by saying
that he is holding his own. In view of the
fact that he is not expected to gain strength
for some days, the mere matter of holding his
own is, all other circumstances being taken
into consideration, and evidence that
relatively he has improved since yesterday
The discharge of matter from the gland has
caused relief. His pulse and temperature,
when last taken tonight, about 1880, is about
the same as last night. There has been dur
ing the day slight fuctuation in pulse, but
it was caused by new opening which was
made in another cell of the gland and
the disturbance of the patient connected there
with hindered by the squeezing necessary TO
exude the matter from the other openings.
THE SHIFTING OF THE BALL
noted last night slightly downward, has not
been noticed to-day. The ball apparently re-
tains the position to which it had dropped
when the change of its locality was first no.
ted It is thought by many the change of
place of lodging of the ball was the cause of
the present strong rally of the President. 1t
is not among the impossibilties the ball may
work itself into the abdominal cavity and pass
off through the rectum. All have been more
hopeful about the White house and city to-
day and hope in strong form again prevails.
ANIMAL MAGNETISM.
Capt Blanchard, of Brooklyn, has been in
the city making an offer to cure the President
He has been a sea captain. His method OF
cure is by animal magnetism. He is a large
man and says that he had cured many cases
simply by handling the body and imparting to
it an animal magnetism. He only wanted to
see the President an hour day and promised
after a week or ten days operation
to put him out of danger. There have been a
number of offers of somewhat similar char
acter made and all of them rejected, with
thanks.
THE SWOLLEN GLAND.
The President complained some this after
noon of the sensitiveness of the swollen side
of his face. That the swelling is diminishing
is evident. The incisions made in
the face are washed out with
permangarese of potash The connection
mace by means of probe under the flesh. OF
course flow of permanganese of potash
through it clears the connected cavities. DR..
Boynton added that while there has been nat
urally gain Of strength, there may have been
aslight Improvement. DR.. Boynton said no
change is expected at once. All we can ex-
poet is that he holds his own for a few days.
If he makes even slight improvement it will
be perfectly satisfactory. He said he had net
noticed any indications of another crisis, and
the interview concluded by the doctor remark
ing the prospects for final recovery are very
fair, but in case of this kind no one can say
positively he will recover. Therefore he
could not make definite prediction ON tina,
point.

Is Capt. Cutter working tho Miracles

Capt. Amml Cutter, the famous magnetic
healer of this city, is IN Washington for the
purpose of laying hands on the President.
Capt. Cutter is an old friend and ac-
quaintance of Secretary Blaine, and through
this source he my have obtained
access to the sick chamber and given his skill
a test. Ash he gives no internal remedy the
physicians in charge would certainly run no
risks in allowing him to manipulate the suf-
ferer. While no announcement is made in
the papers or by telegraph, it is noticeable
that the Presidents improvement began about
the time Capt. Cutter arrived. Can it be
possible that the captain has practically su-
perceded the eminent physicians in charge?

ADJUSTMENTS.
Birds Of a Feather.

The second performance of Egbert jamie
sons new comedy, "Birds of Feather" was
vastly superior to the first. The company
had been thoroughly rehearsed, and some ol
the imperfe ctions that had marred the origin
al text had been eliminated and original and
humorous passages substituted in their stead
All the scenes were visibly improved, and the
salient features of the comedy were rendered
more apparent than on Monday night. The
first act passed off smoothly, and the spark
ling dialogue and comic situations kept the
audience in jovial mood from first to last
The second act has been, like the theater, al
tered and improved, and was in the main un-
exceptional, though there is room for slight
trimming still. It proved eminently sat
isfactory to the audince, however, and there
is no doubt but that by this evening whatever
defects exist will be remedied. The third act
showed marked improvement, and though
it is not yet acted with the life and activity
that should character ize it, the betterment
gives promise OF something rich, rare and
racy. On the whole, the play was by long
odds superior to its first production, and was
in every way worthy of the liberal applause it
received.
As to the actors, Mr.. Jacques Kruger was
in good form, and gave correct and exceed
ingly comical Interpretation to his role. John
Dillon had more to do than on the previous
evening, and did his work in characteristic
cally happy manner. Miss Marie Bockell acted
her part without a flaw, and sang her song,
"Poor, Wandering one," and the Tyrolean
song with much animation. She received
encores to both, to which she graciously
responded. Mrs. Farren made an admirable
Mrs. Meadows, while Mr.. Sutton was incom-
parable in the character of Judge Pickering.
The play has been bereft of much of the rub
bish with which the gems it at first contained
was obscured, and gives promise OF being one
In view of the fact that the company has
been overworked since its arrival in this city,
it has been decided to dispense with the mat
inee advertised for this afternoon. A per-
formancs will be given in the evening, when
we may safely look for great improvement,
even upon the performance of last night.

Events in Which They Will Appear at the
Great Exposition Weights in the All
Ages Handicap.
While the great four mile heat race for a
purse Of $4,000, will be the turf event at the
Northwestern Exposition next week, the fact
should not be lost sight of that Col. King has
provided several other running races which
cannot prove otherwise than interesting and
exciting, and would in themselves be sufa
cient, under ordinary circumstances, Tor a
good racing meeting. For the first running
day, Thursday, Sept. 8. the inaugural event
will be free for all dash of a mile, for purse
of S, 900, for which twenty-one horses have
been named. Of these, the indications are
that at least fifteen will face the starter. max
ing the largest field of horses started in a
race this season. Among the entries
are several well known flyers, capable of putting
in their miles very close to the fastest record,
and when the flag falls for start there will
be such a Gathering OF horses feet, such
changes of positions, and such a fitting OF
