The slight Improvement noted In Mrs. Harrsons con
dltion the last two days more may be attributed
10 part TO the more bracing atmosphere which has
prevailed and which has acted tonic TO her weak
system. Such weather rs now prevails gives the In
valid much more restf days than those Of last week,
when she was greatly depressed by the unfavorable
weather.
Dr. Gardner STAYED at the White House only about
twenty minutes tonight when he made his last call
for the day. When he was going he said that Mrs
Harrison was resting comfortably. He evidently
expected that all would be well during the night and
did not anticipate another call.
The Cabinet officers, kindly solictous about the
condition Of Mrs. Harrison all sent messages Of In

the same encouraging message 70 them, The wife OF
Attorney General Miller did not go to chicago, as
she desires to have Mrs. Newcomer to be With her

The constant watching ut the bedside OF Mrs 1iar-

the outcome Of her illness Is making itself apparent in
the faces OF the Presidents household especially those
who pass much time I'm the sick room. Mrs. Mckee
looks bad, and Mrs. Dlmmick completely worn
out that she has been compelled 10 leave the White
House for q day two TO secure muchnccdcd rest.

friends 10 accompany her there. Last week, how
ever, the p.ecaOus condition Of the invalid caused
her 10 change her plans and so both she and her
husband will remain this week at the White House.
