Charcoal and XOiks OF Eggs.

On last SaturI .y morning the Presi-
dent was at m worst, and nearly all
hope of recover 4 expired. DIR. Frank
Hamilton ling = after the mornir q
dressing of thu ound and made an ex-
aminaaon of cxereta- He was ap-
palled by the covery of evidence that
the yolks of eg 8, which had formed q
part of the enel hata administered to the
President for several days previously,
had not been assimilating thoroughly, if
at all, and there was a probability that
they had remained a corrupt mass in the
intestines Without waiting to make
known his discovery, or to consult with
any of his associates, he seized his hat
and rushed out to drug store, where he
purchased q supply of powdered char
coal. He returned as quickly and imme-
diately administered an enemsta con-
tanning large proportion of the char
coal. The effect was apparent al
most Immediately, and the incident
marked the turning point in the Presi-
dents condition. 1t is possible thai the
presence of this undigcsted and iudi
gestible mass of corruption was the cause
of the glandular affection which came
80 near terminating the life of the Presi
dent THIS explains DIR. Hsmilton's
hopefulness, and it is easy to gather
from it the reason for his unwillingness
to enter into details when asked for the
grounds of his belief. There have been
rumors of this ever since DIR. Hamilton
left Washington, but no one person, ex-
cept, possibly, DR.. Hamilton's associates,
seemed to have all the facts. 1t was only
known that some development had been
made which gave most excellent reason
for believing that the most threatening
feature of the Pre- ident's illness mad
been successfully removed. The qucs-
ton doubtless will be asked how it hap
pened that such a thing as yolk of an
egg was administered by enemata with
the expectation that it might be assimi-
lated. This seems to be the companion
piece to the onions and vinegar.

of several days which General Arthur
made in Washington immediately fol-
lowing the shooting of the President,
the most friendly and agreeable relations
were established between him and them,

The country need not be surprised, if Mr..
Arthur becomes President and his wishes
are respected, that Mr.. Blaine should re-

the present members, notwithstanding SO
many seemed to be convinced that he
would walk out of the State Department
