THE N1TTON'S SICK.

The experience through which the people of
the United States are now passing is unique in
the history of nations AS a rule the assassins
of Kings and Presidents have either failed or
succeeded. Gulteau, at first, did neither
but planted in the body Of his victim seed OF
death which might grow up and OvershadOw
him, or might be crushed down by his native
strength and conquered. For ffty-ive days
the Nation has been watching by the bedside of
the President, Looping and praying that he
might be spared, yet fearing that at almost any
time he might be taken away. History presents
no picture like this.
1t is doubtful also whether history presents
any parallel to this case in the intense popular
interest taken in it, in the intimate popular
knowledge of almost every detail, due to the
wonderful development of the telegraph and
the press, and i'll the Unsuitable popular demand
for information on every point. A good wom-
an, speaking of this universal uifestatiOn
OF feeling said the other day, We all feel as if
there was some one sick in the house." There
are few households where this could not be
said There is no rhetoric in the saying that
the stricken President is the Nations sick. The
details of his condition that, in private life,
would seldom be known beyond the circle of
the physicians and nurses and the immediate
family, have in this case been proclaimed in
thousands of newspapers and telegraphcd over
two continents, and the most fastidious and
refined, instead Of thinking for a moment that
there was anything in this freedom at which to
take offence, were and still are the most eager
to learn all that can be learned, and are always
anxious for more news than they can get. He
is the Nations sick Women think of him al
most us they would of some near one who lay
helpless in the upper chambers of their own
home, and men's souls are raclcd with anxiety,
and the springing up from fear into hope and
the sad falling away from hope to fear again.
This eagerness with which every detail in the
case, spread out, it has been, before the world
with fulncss probably never known before in
the history of medicine has been waited for and
seized upon, is one of the most remarkable
features in this strange history. The emotion
which has been excited, and the anxiety which
has filed the public mind, have recalled at
times the tension and agony of war
One of the first things President Garfield said
after he was shot was, "The heart of the Ma
ton will not let the old soldier die" The heart
of the Nation is sore to-day, with hoping

Laid on stone sleepers. 1t supplied with the
first tIrntable ever used aud with the first eight
eeled cars ever made. The second American
railroad was opened in Nav 1927, from Mauch
Chunk to the Lohigh River. These early roads were
operated by horses or gravity. The first locomotive
actually put1nto use in the United States was i'm
ported from England in the spring Of 1929 and
placed upon track built by the Delaware and Hud-

When platform heavily weighted with ton

church, smashing the choir gallery, damaging
the organ, breaking the pulpit, and nearly
killing two laborers, is anybody responsible for
it q? All this took place yesterday at DR.. Guy

verdict of the City of Churches will be that it
was purely accidental OF course.
