generally understood by the citizens of

the president has slept on his car every
night since leaving Washington. The

latest bulletin concerning Justice Mil

The presidents train left for Wash
ington via the Pennsylvania railroad at

ing or demonstration of any kind while
the train was in this city.

of the nation and of the distinguished service
which he has been able to render to his
