sT AM GOING TO DIE"
That Is What Maurice Adler Said to Hia
Doctor Today.

After seventy-eight days OF continuous suf-
ferins and helplessness Maurice Adler has
come to Q realization of his condition. From
the time he was shot by Frank Ward mp to
this morning he never even minated that
death was present possibility SO far as he
was concerned, although relatives and doc
tors had agreed Q long time ago that
there could be no recovery. At about o'clock
this morning Adler awoke after about two hours
Of troubled slumber. He was much calmer
than usual and there were none Of the appear
ances Of the delirium which has heretofore
marked the majority of his waking moments.
For nearly an hour he was silent and then he
asked the nurse to
SEND FOR DR.. WAGNER.
The doctor was sleeping in q room on the
floor above, and in q couple Of minutes he was
at the bedside of the patient.
"Oh, doctor" said Adler, in plaintive tones,
u feel very bad; so sick, so sick. Doctor, I'm
going to die"
The doctor did all in his power to persuade
Adler that he was getting along nicely, and
was unconvinced and he several times repeated
the words of his surrender: I'm going to die,
I'm going to die" The brave heart had given
up the unequal strife.
GROWING WEAKER.
Although there has been no change in Adlers
appearance since this morning the attendants
know that their patient is much weaker now
than he was twenty-fours ago. At noon his
pulse was throbbing away at 1874. a rise
OF Is since yesterday evening, but the tempera-
ture-l02 degrees-was about the same. Last
night was an extremely unsatisfactory one.
Adler would sleep for couple of hours
and then would fret and talk nonsense
for an hour or more before he could
again fall asleep. But one small dose of
morphine was given him; the necessity for
larger and more frequent injections vanished
with the pain. Between and o'clock he
suffered from slight chill, but there has been
no recurrence of that trouble.
ADLER's MENTAL CONDITION
is unimproved. Ordinarily when awake he
chatters away in a most ridiculous fashion
wants to be put to bed or insists upon being
taken away on the cars. He asks for every
thing he can think Of, and when his unreason-
able requests are not honored he-since
this neutrality-suspicious.: "You might just as
well give me all want; I'm going to die any
how" His delirious spells can all be broken
in upon by persistent questioning and he will
give rational answers for awhile. The lucid
interval Of early this morning is the only
voluntary one noticed for q couple of weeks
past.
A greater willingness to take the nourish-
ment offered him has marked the last two or
three days and now heis assimilating as much
milk as ia oood for him
