Her Physician Issues an Official Bulletin
Correcting Rumors.
WAsmIxcroN, May 2i.--In view Of the
many conflicting and in some instances
alarming reports which have recently
appeared In the public press concerning
the condition Of NJ rs. Harrison's health.
DIR. +. A. Gardner her physician, has
made the following statements of the
facts in the case: Mrs. Harrison is suf-
fering from complete nervous exhaus-
ton, the result OF three years of atten-
ton to the severe and exacting So
cial duties of the white house. Late III
February of this year Mrs. Harrison had
an attack Of the grip. II was particu-
larly severe and tenacious and from it
developed bronchitis. while IN this con-
dition she caught cold and thus brought
on bronchial pneumonia. Other sever
and trying complications followed.
Fever set in and II was several days be-
fore its weakening and wastening forces
could be broken and hardly had she
begun to mend before an attack OF
rheumatism added its exhausting and
enervating influence to what
had proceeded it. Mrs. Harrison's
strength has been seriously overtaxed
by her conscientious attention TO the
constitutional breaking duties which, as
the wife OF the president, were lncum.
bent upon her, and the result OF it all
is complete nervous prostration. While
her condition Is notin any sense alarm
ing, it will be many weeks before she
has fully recovered. She now needs
perfect quiet AID rest. and With these
she will gradually regain her strength
and ultimately her usual good health" :"
Mrs. Harrison IS reported to be rest
ing comfortably this morning.

CAPTAIN EGAN'S MYSTERY.
His Son Cannot Throw ANY Light on
His Absence.

CHICAGO, May 2l.-Another feature
has been added to the Egan mystery,
young j. w. Egan, the son, bringing tn
light an important point which has not
been discovered BY the detective talent
working on the case. According to
the DESCRIPTION furnished to ana cor
roborated by the police the missing
man when last seen by his friends
wore Inus.ache and short
whiskers. Young Egan learned for
the hrst time today after
that when Captain Egan called
at the Branigau House ON the after
noon of the 10th inst. The day he
disappeared he had neither mustache
nor wniskers, but was smoothly shaven.
This fact lends additional color to the
theory that the missing shipping mas
ter disappeared of his own vohtiOn.
The son does not take this view of the
case. Said he tonight: 81 am firmly
convinced that he has either been done
away with, or is being kept away from
his friends for some purpose l cannot
