NOT YET OUT OF DANGER.
Manager FricA Of the Homestead
Works Suffering Man.

PITTsBURG, PA.-Chairman H. G
sriek, who was shot four times in his
Office Saturday By Alex. Berkman, a
Homestead sympathizer, is mentally
bright and active, but he has much pain
from the pistol wounds and the cut from
Berkman's knife.
The ball which pass 4 around the neck
almost grazed the spinal cord. That
which passed out Oh the side almost touch
ed the spine. Theupper cut on the right
side should have penetrated the lung but
for the edge of the ninth rib, and half an
inch more deep would have carried the
large lower cut into the abdominal cavity.
1t was regarded as astounding that this
should be true of omany wounds.
Dr. Litchield haslprofound admiration
for the selfcontrol and courage of his
patient. He says aere was scarcely any
result from what the medical men call
"shock," no sudden fall of temperature
or cold sweat. This is what the doctor
said to callers during the afternoon:
'.Mr. Frick is dong we'll. There is
danger from the secondary effect of the
wounds and there kill be for week. He
has SO far digested Ms food we'll and is
doing well and havsstrOng hopes he- will
recover" tf
The order, signed by Mr.. Frick and
posted at the Homettead works this morn
Ing, to the effect tlAt men returning to
work wou d be insured against removal,
and which was given in THE United Press
dispatches of last night, is regarded as
the final peace offering of the firm to the
strikers. In this connection repre-
sentative of the firm makes an important
rtatement. "Evenif Mr.. Frick should
die, he said, "the policy of the manage
ment in the present crisis will be strictly
adhered to. The Statement that Mr..
Carnegie is not in full accord with Mr..
Frick, in the course the latter has pur.
,ued of late, is absolutely and unqual-
ifiedly untrue"

The changes of terrestrial climate have
been many and various. Myrtles and
tree ferns cnce hourished in Greenland;
coral insects built on the shores of Mel
vile Island; nautiluses sailed over what
must then have been the tepid seas about
Spitzbergen. But with the lapse of ages
the scene changed aud worse than arctic
rigors spread into regions now enjoying
temperate climate. possibly not for the
first time. The Perlnian was certainly
an inclement age, according to the Edin-

even to have reached the point Of glacia-

long prevalence of tropical conditions.
