saoPRFsDuReH, Pa, August 5.-Two
weeks ago tomorrow Mr.. Il. O. Frick
was shot twice and stabbed four times,
and to-day he was at his Office attend
ing to business and showing no i'll
effects from the murderous assault
made on him by Anarchist Berkman.
remarkable recovery has surprised not
only his friends, but also his physi-
clans, and the latter say many men
would have been confined to their beds
for weeks after having received such
wounds as inflicted on Mr.. Frick.
"It was his splendid constitution and
wonderful nerve which made his recov-
cry 50 rapid" said one Of his friends to-
day. "He wanted to come to the office
several days ago, and would have done
so had his physicians permitted 1t. He
never had q set back and his recovery
will cause much rejoicing"
About II o'clock this morning car
riage stopped in front Of the building,
the door opened, and Mr.. Frick stepped
out unassisted, stopped, spoke to a
friend on the sidewalk, and then en-
tered the elevator and went to his Of
fee. His coming was q complete sur
prise TO all except one or two. and when
the numerous clerks and assistants saw
him there was great rejoicing. and 1t
took some minutes before congratula-
tions were over.
For some time after he reached his
office he sat near the window and chat
ted with tho various officials, shook
hands with tho clerks and received calls
from many OF his friends. One Of the
first things he did was to dictate cable
to Mr.. Carnegie, announcing tho TACT
that ho was in his office.
He did not come to the Office to alone
receive congratulations, and in te%
minutes after he was busy at work die
tattng messages and reading letters and
any one who saw him would not have
imagined that less than two wooks ago
he was the victim OF a murderous as
sault.
AS soon as it became known he was
in his Office he was besieged by scores
of persons who desired to congratulate
him, and he was compelled to deny
many OF them admission. A represen-
tative OF the press was among the first
to see him and greeted him with:
~ do not wish to annoy you, Mr..
Frick, but merely to congratulate you
on being here"
ooh, that is all right" answered Mr..
Frick. II am glad to see you and
thank you for your kind feeling. ! was
too busy TO stay away any longer from
the Office and am glad to be here. am
already at work, you sec, and expect to
put in good days work. ] will stay
here till late this afternoon"
"What have you to say about the
situation since you have been away
from the otFce2"
~ am entirely satisfied. / could not
ask any better management Of this
trouble than that OF my assistants, and
the results SO FAR are all that l could
ask. There have been many grave sit
uations and complications, and all OF
them have been successfully met, and
the outlook Is all l could ask.
az am feeling in excellent shape and
will 20 right along rom now attending
to my affairs. Fortunately there is
nothing behind, for in my absence the
work has been most satisfactorily done
by the various officials and clerks"
