EX-PRESIDENT ARTHUR
His Whole Trouble Consists of Worn-Out
Digestion.
A Washington gentleman who spent an
afternoon with ex-Presideut Arthur at the
latter's home in New York last week re-
ports that his condition has been greatly
misrepresented and his illness exaggerat-
cd. The trouble" said Gen. Arthur's
friend 'is that the ex-President is NOR
bidly sensitive about the comments of

a horror of having his ailments advertis-
ed and therefore the reporters are pro
hibited from seeing him and She people
are deceived as to his actual condition.

New York have not been able to relieve.
His summer at New London was bene-

take in returning too soon. He thought
he was strong enough to resume his du-

ground railroad, to the promotion of

do something again. The weather in
New York has been unreasonable since
his return, and he has not been able to
take sufficient exercise, and regrets that
