town in tho morning, but 1t was too early for
Tammanys chieftRin, who was still slumber-
Ing Mr.. Gilroy said that he would call again
on Monday
"Iknow nothing about the plans OF the Fas-
sett committee" said Mr.. Gilroy and haven't
an idea when it will be called together for the
purpose OF giving Mr.. Croker chance to tes-
thy. 1t Is pretty certain that nothing definite
will be arranged until the latter half OF next
week"
Mrs. Croker was asked II her husband APP
reared to be much improved In health. She
replied that there was no doubt but that he
WAS stronger and better than when he left

he is still i'll enough TO know that he must place
himself under no great strain. He will remain
quietly in the house to-day"
Mrs. Croker said that she had resolved to go
TO her husband. and would have done 80 II his
sudden resolve to como homo had not pre-
vented her.
Tho reports about his health we're so con-
ficting" she said that could draw no con-
soine inference from them, and was conse-
ouently much pleased when saw him looking
far better than l had dared to hope. The
physicians abroad cured many OF his ills. He

his constitution was sound, and that proper
rest and caro- would soon result in restoring
him TO health. They were dlspleased when
they learned OF his intention to como homo be-
cause Of a fear that the journey would reduce
him again to his former weak condition and
they told him that he ought to remain abroad
some time longer. The terribly warm weather
has weakened him somewhat since his return.

doctors who attend ed him abroad vas the
same as mine made it clear that his exact
physical condition is known to us. and that 1t
Is therefore certain that he can be sagaclously
treated"
How long It will be before he can be sure Of
regaining Lerfect health again it is impossible
to say. As said before. this will depend upon
the care he takes OF himself"
d. you think that II he went before the
Fassett committee and testified it would do
