"cRRrAINLr VERY CRITICAL. u

I'm. Unofficial Bulletin. Mrs. Edison,
one Of the attendants upon the President,
retired at four O'Clock this morning and did
not leave the Mansion for her home
until noon. Previous to her departure she
said, in reply to the interrogatories
of q newspaper correspondent, that the
Presidents case at this time was certainly
very critical, but that she still had hopes of
his recovery. The trouble with the Presi-
dents stomach, she said, evidently had
nothing to do with the condition Of
the wound, comparatively considered.
She remarked in this connection, 1.-The
wound is nearly healed. This new trouble"
she said, ''is perfectly understood by the
surgeons, and they all have the same idea
about it,
She said further that the President COM
prehends the exact situation; that he has
been told his stomach demanded absolute
rest, and that no attempt will be made for
the present to give him nOurishment In the
regular manner.
The lady, in concluding, expressed the
hope that by tomorrow the patients stom-
ach would be strong enough to retain some
thing. In response to an inquiry, she said
that the President looks better to-day than
he did yesterday.
DR.. Hamilton is expected to arrive In
Washington about 10 o'clock tonight.

HouEe, was asked II he considered the 12;3O

WASHINGTON, August 16.-Dr. Hamilton
arrived at 1920 p. m, and was met at the
depot by DR.. Bliss, who stated to him the
condition Of the President at that time, and
gave an outline history Of the case since the
last visit Of the New York surgeon. After
hearing this Dr. Hamilton decided to go
directly to the residence of Attorney Gen
eral MacVeagh and not to disturb the Presi-
dent tonight. DIR. Bliss returned to the
Executive Mansion and subsequently stated
that he regarded the condition OF the Presi-
dent as more hopeful than when the last
bulletin was issued. The anemata had
given strength, and was apparently doing
the President good. His pulse had
receded to ia, with respiration and tempera-
ture normal. He said that at the evening
dressing there wasfound an area Of granu-
lstion of the wound that in view Of the
weak condition Of the patient was astonish-
ing.
The President rests comfortably and is
being given broken ice at intervals Of sleep,
which his stomach receives kindly and re-
tains. There has been no vomiting since
the afternoon, and DR.. Bliss expects that
the stomach will be in condition to re-
ceive food in the morning, and expresses 3
confidence that the morning bulletin will be
of such nature as to revive the hopes Of
the community. He says the crisis has been
bridged over, and the case is much more
hopeful at this hour.
THE SYMPTOMS LESS URGENT.
$50 A. M. Official Bulletin. THE Presi-
dent was somewhat restless, and vomited
several times during the early part of the
night. Since three o'clock this morning he
has not vomited, and slept TRANQUILITY most
of the time. Nutritious enemata are sue
cessfully employed to sustain him. Alto
gether the symptoms appear less urgent
than yesterday afternoon. At present his
pulse is 100, temperature 6, respiration
Is.

considered the most critical period, those
who have been here have shown the most
intense anxiety, and, If not by their conver-
sation, have by their actions, manifested
that in their respective opinions the case
had reached an extremely critical period.
This opinion has not been
confined to few persons,
but may be said to have been almost uni
Versal throughout the city. The physl-
clans have avoided conversing as much as
possible, especially with the numbers pres
eut. The greatest difficulty has been expe-
rienced in supplying thu demands of the
public for the exact condition of affairs at
intervals throughout the day.
An intimation was dropped during the
afternoon that the Cabinet had been called
together, and It was thought that some off,
cial act was about to be promulgated, but
this proved to be erroneous. The object of
the meeting, which took place between
and 6 p. m, was simply to hear In body
the report of the physicians on the situa-
tion with view Of ascertaining the exact
state of affairs. DIR. Bliss was
information. He talked for some time, and
while he stated very explicitly the gravity
of the situation, he was hopeful, and main
tanned that the President had, at least, an
even chance for recovery. His explanation
was sufficiently clear to re-establish to a
considerable extent the confidence OF the
Cabinet officers, and they express
ed themselves as feeling more
hopeful after the conference. After the
Cabinet officers left, and it became known
what had transpired, 3 decidedly better
feeling prevailed throughout the Mansion,
and, although the assurances of recovery
were far from satisfactory, they were ac-
cepted with much qualification, and
soon changed the decided sadness
which had prevailed the house
all the afternoon, into general feeling Of
hopefulness. The most sanguine were
forced to yield to the unfavorable indica-
tions during the early afternoon, but pre-
vious to the issuance OF the z o'clock
bulletin the expressions of::pr. Bliss had be-
come well known, and their effect was very
noticeable. Shortly before the bulletin was
issued Private Secretary Brown'sroo CON-

A wAsp IN ms SLIPPER.

Says the Dallas (Texas) Herald"
There are times in the life of the small
boy when he feels very sad from the use
of slipper or switch upon him. II
anything happens to the person who has
thus afflicted him, his JOY is great, as
will be seen from the following incident;
gentleman returned home from his
daily toll, and had pulled of his boots,
and was going 10 put on his slippers
when howl of intense agony resounded
through the hall. The sfrighted family
rushed to the door, and beheld their pa
pa heaving the shadows with wild gestic-
ulstions and frantic gyrations.
"Take it OFF, he shouted, and made a
grab at his foot, but missing it, went on
with the war-dance.
"WaiterP he shrieked, and started up
stairs, three steps at jump, and turning
came back in single stride. "Oh, 1 m
s.abbedl' he cried, and sank to the floor
and held his right leg high above his
head; then he arose to his feet with q
bound, aud screaming for the boot-jack,
he held his foot out toward his terrified
family.
''Oh, bring me the arnica!" he yelled,
and with one desparing effort he reached
his slipper and got it off, and with q
groan as deep as we'll, and as hollow as
drum, sank into chair and clasped
his foot with both hands.
"Look out for tho scorpion. he whis.
pered, hoarsely; I'm dead man."
The small boy was by this time out in
the woodshed, rolling in the kindling in
an ecstacy of glee, and pausing from
time to time to explain to the son of o
neighbor, who had dropped in to see il
there was any innocent sport going on
in which be could share
"Oh, Bill Bill" he said, "you would
not believe; some time to-day, somehow
or other, big blue wasp got into the
old mans slipper, and when he came
home and put them on--oh, Bill, you
don't know what fun I've had"

1 ACKNOWLEDGE THE CORN.

This is the origin of the phrase II ae-
knowledge the com:" In 1928, Mr. Stew.
art. a member of Congress, said iu a
speech that Ohio. Kentucky aud Indiana
sent their haystacks, cornfelds and fod-
der to New York and Philadelphia for
sale.
Mr.. Wickliffe, of Kentucky, called him
to order, declaring that those states did
not send haystacks or cornhelds to New
York for sale.
swell, what do you send, asked Stew
art
"Why, horses, mules, cattle and hogs. "
"Well, what makes your horses, mules,
cattle and hogsf You feed one hundred
dollars worth Of hay to horse. You
jus animate aud get up on top of your
haystacks aud ride of to market. How
is it with your cattle1 You make one of
them carry fifty dollars worth Of hay or
grass to the Eastern market. How much
corn does it take, at thirty-three cents a
bushel, to fatten hog2'
'Wby, thirty bushels"
"Then you put thirty bushels into the
shape of hog and make it walk to the
Eastern market"
Then Mr.. wicklife Jumped up and
said: "Mr speaker, acknowledge the
eorn."

ONE HONEST MAN.

The other day six men sat around q
stove in Detroit tobacco store. There
had been long period of silence when
one of them rubbed his leg and remark
ed:
'That old wound feels as If II was 60
ing to open again. I shall always re-
member the battle of Rich Mountain"
There was slight stir around the
stove and q second man put his hand to
his shoulder and observed.
'And l shall not soon forget Brandy
Station. Feels to-day as If the lead was
going to work out"
The interest was now considerably In.
creased, and the third man knocked the
ashes off his cigar and said:
"Yes, those were two hard fights, but
you ought TO have been with Nelson at
Franklin. Bnt wasn't 1 excited that day.
When these two fingers went with
grape-shot never felt the pain"
The fourth man growlsd out something
about Second Bull Run. and n saber cut

The other ive looked at him and waited
for him to speak, but it was long time

A STORY or STEEL PENS.

Few persons who use steel pens on
which is stamped "Gillot, have any idea
of the story Of suffering, of iudomitsble
pluck and persistence, which belong to
the placing of that name on that article.
long depression in trade in England
threw thousands of Sheffield mechanics
out of work, among them Joseph Gillot,
then twenty-one years of age,
He left the city with but shilling in
his pocket. Reaching Birmingham, he
went to an old inn and sat down upon q
wooden settle in the tap-room. His last
penny was spent for roll. He was
weak, hungry and ill. He had not a
friend in Birmingham, and there was lit
tie chance of getting work.
In his dependency he was tempted to
give upand turn beggar or tramp. Then
a sudden fiery energy seized him. He
brought his fist down upon the table, de-
claring 10 himself that he would try and
trust in God, come what would. He got
work that day in making buckles, which
were then fashionable.
As soon as he had made ponnd or so
he hired a garret in Broad street, and he
there carried on work for himself, bring
ing his taste and knowledge Of tools into
constant use, even when working at hand
made goods. This was the secret of Gill
lots success. Other workmen trudged
in the old ruts, He was wide-awake,
eager to improve his work or to shorten
the way of working.
He fell in love with pretty and sensi-
BILE girl, named Mitchell, who. with her
brothers, was making steel pens.
, Each pen was then clipped, punched
and polished by hand, and pens oonse-
quently sold at enormously high prices.
Gillot at once brought his skill in tools
to bear upon the matter, and soon invent
ed machine that turned out the points
by thousands in the time that a man re-
quired to make one.
He married Miss Mitchell, and they
carried on the manufacture together for
years.
On tho morning of their marriage the
industrious workmen made a gross of
pens and sold them for thirty six dollars
to pay the wedding fees.
In his old age, having reaped an i'm
mense fortune by his shrewdness, honesty
and industry, Mr.. Gillot went again to
the old inn bought the settle and had the
square on which he sat that night sawed
out and made into chair, which he left
as an heirloom to his family, to remind
them Of the secret of his success

MUTUALLY DlsAppotNraTs.

When General Lafayette visited this
country he greatly enjoyed meeting The
friends he had known in the revolution,
and with whom he had shared many
hardship. But sometimes he was sorely
disappointed. The changes which time
works in all men were such that, now and
then, he could scarcely recognize his old
associates. 1t is equally amusing. how.
ever, to know that occasionally bis for.
mer friends were equally disappointed IN
him.
He paid visit TO John Adams, nt'
Quincy. The expectations of both par-
ties were high, and they counted on
joyful day. But the changes Of timo
were not allowed for, and the reaction
was therefore great.
Lafayette said to friend as be was
leaving the house.
"What sad change In Mr.. Adams. /
can SCARCELY see trace OF the man whom
used to admire and honor"
"Mr. Adams comment was equally az
striking; II was asking myself continu-
ally, can this be Lafayette9 He is who'll
ly unlike the General whom I loved in
the revolution. It is unpleasant TO miss
the old friend"
Both expected too much, and as usual
both were disappointed.

No woman likes to be called coquets
te, and yet how few can abstain from CO..
quettry when an opportunity presents IL
self. No woman will admit that she ie !
flirt, and yet how few can resign q chance
to fiirt with an agreeable gentleman when
such a filtration becomes an eligible in
diligence. There Is always an excite
ment In the attempt TO capture mans
affections, which is too inspiring, per-
haps to be neglected. But there is m
odium attached to the excitement which
no woman relishes. They love the pur,
suit, but fear the character 1t occasions.
And the same remarks will apply TO men
In this context. as we'll as women; for
male firts are quite as abomirable az ie-
male ones. and the man who loves TO villa
merely for amusement. the affections of
a woman Is no more to be respected ihsa
the woman who Is addicted TO the game
of captivating, for the momentary pleas
ure 1t affords, the hearts Of men.
