to THE STAR representative to-day that while
President was still very sick man. and the
public must not yet build hope up to absolute
confidence.
At intervals during the day and night the
President had coughing spells, but the doctors
say it is not caused by any trouble with the
lungs. Mrs. Edison, who went to New York this
morning. said: II don't like that cough" DR..
BOyntOn said: 81, too, feel worried about it,
Last night the temperature here was delight

THE REPORTED CHANGE OF LOCATION OF THE
BALL.
A report afloat, which is denied. is that the
removal of the President here changed the posi-
ton of the ball, and it is now near the lilac art
cry. which, if disturbed in any way by it, NAV
produce an internal hemorrhase which cannot
be reached.
The inquiry on everybOdys mind is ''Will there
be a new complication, and, if SO, what will it
be!"
MRS. EDISON SAYS THE PRESIDENT HAS NO
APPETITE.
Riding with Mrs. Edison from Ocean Grove to
ElberOn last night, she said to THE STAR repre-
sentative:
'The President is very sick man. His cheeks
are sunken and there is but little flesh on his
face His fingers are bony, with the tight
skin drawn over them. If he can only get an
appetite where he now is l think he will live.
but he must get an appetite. The President is
an intelligent patient and eats because it is ne
cessary he should eat; but he does not relish his
food. We often indulge him in dishes he asks
for, and when they are prepared he will say, Il
guess don't want anything"
THE DIsCONTINUANCE OF THE ENEMA
has started rumor that the continuance threat
ened to break down the patients bowels This
DR.. Bliss denies.
THE REPORTS FROM THE DOCTORS ALL SATIsFAC
At Elberon all the reports which come from
the doctors continue to be satisfactory The
fever has been abated, and what now is needed
to restore the patient is an appetite and
strength. This, it is thought, will come soon.

bers call twice each day to inquire how the

| While the pulse has risen six beats since noon
