Condition at Midnight-The Retrigerat-
ing Apparatus.
Executive MANSION, MIDNIGHT The
President has passed most comfurta.
BILE day. and his condition tonight ls IN
every way AS satisfactory as could be
expected. He has taken more nourlsh'
ment during the past eighteen hours
than at any time since he Was
wounded. and the TODD has all been
retained and perfectly asslmlla-
ted. In order to relieve him
as lar as possible from the opprrs-
sion caused by the intense heat, the at
tending physicians this evening put into
operation simple relrigerating apparat-
us which, it is thought, will render the
atmosphere OF his room tomorrow much
more comfortable than it has been to-
day. II consists OF number OF
troughs OF galvanized iron abOnt ten
inches in width and fourteen feet in
length, placed on the floor along the
walls and filled with water and broken
| ice. Over these Iroughs, and CORE
spending with them in length, are sus-
pended sheets OF flannel, the lower
edges of which are immersed in the ice
water, which fills the trough. The
water is absorbed and carried upward
! by the capillary attraction in the flannel,
| h., IL. ..f 4 hn
| sheets are saturated. This cold water,
| both by direct contact with the air and
bv the rapid evaporation which takes
! place over the extent OF the surface OF
| the saturated tiannels, lowers the tenn
perature OF the room. Although only a
| few hours have elapsed since this ap-
| paratus was put into operation, 1t has
| made very perceptcle change, and
It is thought that its utility
will be still more clearly demonstrated
tomorrow. The day has been 4 COM
paratively quiet one at the Executive
| Mansion, for the reason that the iavora-
bic bulletins have to great extent re-
lieved the public anxiety and decreased
the number OF callers. At this hour,
midnight, the President is resting quiet
