The Latest Intelligence From the
White House.

Washington, Aug. 29-6:20 p. M.
DIR. Bliss reports at this hour that the
result Of the evening examination is
highly satisfactory. The febrile rise
did not begin until about quarter past
four this afternoon. and although the
temperature and pulse are little
higher than last night, the former be-
ing above 100 and the latter ITO, is ac-
counted for by the presence of an ac.
cumulation of pus in the gland swelling,
which was removed at the evening dres-
sing. The gland looks better tonight
than at any time since it became q
dangerous feature Of the case. The
wound also is doing well. The condi-
tion is still further improved.
DIR. Baxter is reported to have said
to a friend this afternoon, that if the
presidents stomach holds out, and II
he is properly cared for he Will proba-
bly, recover.

Washington, August 29.-Up to IL
O'Clock the presidents marked improve
ment continues unabated, and the con-
fidence is fairly justified. The only
uneasiness has been on account of the
high temperature tonight. which the
physicians say is due to pain in the
gland. The gland is unusually trouble
some tonight. 1t is an angry-looking
swelling, like carbuncle, and might
be one. Granulation of the original
wound began again this evening, with
very favorable symptoms. There is no
excitement to-day, and hope is as strong
as despair was Friday and Saturday.

. How Many More stationsr

Washington, August 29.-At the
morning dressing of the presidents
wound the parotid swelling was found
to have diminished considerably in size
since yesterday morning. There had
been a plentiful discharge of pus DUR
ing the night from three openings. An
other yellow spot was discovered on the
side of his face this morning, which,
when pricked, permitted free dis
charge of pus from another pus pocket.
The wound in the body was found to
be doing well. 1t still continues to dis
charge freely. The character of the
pus discharged has not changed mate
rally since yesterday. but is thicker
and healthier in character than few
days since. While dressing and cleans
ing the wound this morning, the cleans
ing catheter entered to depth Of fully
twelve inches.
DIR. Boynton, who was in the sick
room the greater part of last night, says
the president passed good night. sleep
ing most of the time. His sleep was
more natural than any night during the
past week. During the intervals Of
wakefulness his mind was perfectly
clear. Once, about two O'Clock in the
morning, when awake, and while TAX
ing some nourishment, he remarked to
DIR. Boynton, evidently referring to his
several relapses. 81 wonder how many
more stations l will have to stop at. ),
DR.. Boynton says the president looks
better and feels better this morning.
The DOCTORS hope is strengthened owing
to the fact that the president held his
own through another day and night.
He will feel content and satisfied with
a continuance Of this stationary period
for few days. After that he hopes
the work Of repair and recuperation
will commence. At this hour the sur.
geons report the condition quite as ia
vorable as at the morning examina-
tion.

Mud cold Mine In georgia.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-The Journal thus
alludes to its Chattanooga special:
Glowing accounts come north of the
discovery of gold in paying quantities
In Georgia. The beds of the Chatta-
hoochee and Chestatie rivers, we are
told, are 80 rich in gold that the very
sands on the shore yield the precious
metal. Gold lies in the greatest guam
titles in the mud beds of the streams,
where it is forced to the decks Of min
ing boats by air pressure easily and
rapidly. It is said, and no doubt cor
rectly,' that d large quantity of mud
can be mined in day. A dredging
boat is in process of construction which
is confidently expected to take s100, 900
worth Of bullion up from the bed Of the
river. The day when the boat gets to
work, the public will hear more about
Georgia's find, whether it is verita-
BILE mud gold mine or not.

Washington, Aug. 20, p. m.-Dr.
Boynton came from the sick room q
short time since and said the president
was improving and all were now hope
full of his ultimate recovery. He was
quickly followed by DIR. Bliss, who said
everything was very promising. The
presidents pulse, said DIR. Bliss, is now
104, and is as soft and natural as could
be desired. He is sleeping quietly.
His skin is moist, and his face looks
bright and pleasant.
You regard his case-as one Of the
most miraculous in the history of surge

A DRAMATIC INCIDENT.
Mrs. Garneld's Firm Faith in Her
Husband's Recovery.

Mrs. Garneld's Firm Faith in Her
Husbands Recovery.
Washington, Aug. 29.-As hope re-
turns. more is learned in detail Of the
terrible anxiety Of last Saturday. 1t
appears that the surgeons, after the
alarming symptoms of the morning, de-
cieded it was useless longer to continue
the struggle, and two of their number
were selected to wait upon Mrs. Garfield
and inform her that medical science
could do no more, and that she must
prepare for the worst. The interview
which occurred between these surgeons
and Mrs. Garfield, will be regarded as
one of the most dramatic incidents in
this extraordinary case.
Capt. Henry, marshal of the district,
and a friend of the president and his
family, says, Mrs. Garfield heard the
news, and smothering her emotion,
arose and said:
Gentlemen, you shall not give him
up; he is not going to die; he is going
to live; i feel it, I know it. Go to your
post and leave it not until every rem
edy is exhausted; until death itself has
set its seal upon him, for will not be-
lieve he is dying. Go back and do
what you can, you cannot do more; but
don't give him up. am his wife. and
l say we will not give him up until the
end itself is upon us.n
Mrs. Garfield has never surrendered
more than moment or two at time
to her grief, and then she has retired
to her room, and, after a brief absence,
returned to her post of duty at the
president's bedside.
The late gain in the presidents con-
dition is apparent in four important
symptoms: the pulse lower and stronger,
the stomach works better, the in
famed gland throwing off its disturb
ing contents, and the original wound
is again resuming its healing processes.
In word the president has successfully
passed another crisis:

ContradIctInx False Runors.

Washington, August 29.-Executive
Mansion. 1915, p.m.-Rumors are
afioat this morning that an examina-
tion has been made of the presidents
lungs, and unmistakable evidence in
shape Of pus accumulation was dis
covered Of secondary or py@mic stage
Of blood poisoning. At noon DIR. Rey-
burn said: ''Since the presidents con-
diton became so low, we have examined
his lungs carefully every day and have
always found them healthy, and the re-
port that pus cavities have formed there
is entirely unfounded.
DR.. Boynton said: 81 made an exam
ination Of the presidents lungs myself
last night, and found them all right.
There are no new complications what
ever in the presidents case, and no IN
favorable features which arc not al
ready known. He continues to do we'll.
New York, August 29.-From the
Graphic: DR.. Hamilton arrived this
morning and said to a reporter:

you the president is going to get well.
There is no doubt Of it in your mind,

None whatever. now. 1 have no
time now to dwell on the subject. and
beg of you to excuse me; the worst has
passed away.
Is there any indication that an alb
scess has formed on. the presidents
lungs, and has been discovered in one
of the joints of his limbs, as indicated
in the morning papers?
Neither report is true, replied the
doctor, and furthermore there is not
the slightest indication of either.

August 20, $50 p. m.-The daily rise
of the presidents temperature began
later this afternoon than yesterday, but

taken willingly the liquid food pre-
scribed during the day, and besides,
during the morning, a small piece Of

Effect of Food Oh Eggs.

1t does not require much of an ex-
ira understanding on the part Of any
one to readily see how the flesh of II
fowl fed on wholesome food and water
should be better to the taste than
those fed at random, and upon all
manner of unwholesome food. This
applies equally to eggs also. Any one
can test this if he so wishes quite cas-
ily by feeding slop food, of an unclean
kind, such as swiil and decaying garb-
age. The flesh of such fowls will
quickly faint, and eggs will taste I'M
savory, at least to any one with an
ordinary palate. Fresh air has also
much to do with this matter. No
flesh is fit for the table which is not
allowed an unlimited quantity of
fresh air. If any person of ordinary
discernment would consider the con-
dition of highly stall-fed animals at
Christmas and other similar times Of
rejoicing, he would be quite easily
satified, although to look at the STALL
fed animal, which always lacks pure
air, is the fattest, yet its flesh does not
agree with the stomach as does that OF
the healthy, ordinary-fed animal.
Some may say that the extra fat does
this. l say not, for l have quite often
kept account, and though l do not
touch morsel of fat, l was troubled
afterward with disurdered stomach,
which never happened when l par
took heartily of ordinary fine beef,
both fat and lean.-Cdnddd Furmer.
