from a tooth. He endured it like a
hero.
He concealed his suffering from his
family, and it is probable that no one.
excepting Secretary Lamont, knew
that he had physical torture as well as
mental anxiety to contend with. The
pain did not yield to local and usual
treatment. When the first careful ex-
animation was made, or when the
suspicion was created that this trouble
was due to no exposure Of dental
nerve or to any usual disease of the
teeth, my informants do not know /;
they do know that there was time,
shortly before the President issued his
call for the extraordinary session of
Congress, when it was determined
that an operation was inevitable. how
grave or extensive could not at first be
determined.
1t is probable that the decision to
perform the operation while the Presi-
dent was upon Mr.. Benedict's Yacht
was due to several reasons-one, per-
haps, that the family, being in ignor-
ance, might not be overwhelmed by
anxiety and suspense another, that
if the operation was performed with
surgical success the country might not
be alarmed.
Mr.. Cleveland. with Mr.. Lamont,
left Washington quite suddenly upon
the day when the call for an extra
session was issued.
SUBMITTED CALMLY TO THE KNIFE.
Arrangements were made in this
city with celerity, and Mr.. Cleveland
was met when he arrived here by DR..
Bryant and another physician, and
DR.. Hasbrouck, all of whom boarded
the yacht with him.
Mr.. Cleveland, almost as soon as
he boarded the yacht, retired to the
stateroom and fell into a heavy slum-
ber. The intimation was made to
me that he might have received by
podermic injection certainly 1t was
deemed desirable that he should en-
joy prolonged sleep before he yielded
himself to the surgeon, and he did
sleep until we'll into the next day.
When the time came the President
Of the United States submitted him
self to the surgeon as calmly, as gent
ly, and as willingly as though he were
merely lying down for brief slumber
Yet he knew that possibly from that
operation he might not recover, and
that it might be before many honrs
had passed that the people Of the
United States would be overwhelmed
by sudden sorrow, which is, perhaps,
the most grievous Of any excepting
war that the country has hitherto been
compelled to endure,
He knew that wife, beloved of all
the people, was waiting in eager ex-
pectancy for his coming, but he did
not know nor did the surgeons what
might be the revelation Of the next
few moments for her. Those who have
seen Mr.. Cleveland in trying emergen-
cies have recalled
HOW PERFECTLY THE MASTER OFHIMsELF
and Of his emotions he is. His phy-
sicians have thus seen him before, but
they were amazed by the tender con
tidence and the resignation to what
ever might happen with which he
composed himself for their admins
tratons.
1t was deemed advisable to use gas
as an anesthetic rather than ether,
because the operation was to be such
as would entail severe hemorrhages,
which might possibly lead to the flow
of blood into the windpipe. By using
gas recovery would be almost instan.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND SUBMITS

AN OPERATION PERFORMED UPON HIM
BY WHICH PART OF HIS JAW
WAS REMOVED.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29'-Wide
spread interest has been excited b,
the Press publication this morning
Of story from its reliable New York
correspondent concerning President
Cleveland's mysterious illness. Heart
felt sympathy for the sufferer from a
disease the fearful nature of which is
only hinted at has been expressed on
all sides and everywhere is heard the
wish that the outcome may be more
favorable than can be hoped for from
the tenor Of his story.
The correspondent says:
1t is useless longer to conceal the
fact that Mr. Cleveland is a sick man.
perhaps very sick man, and that the
physicians have fear that mortal dis
ease is lurking in his system, notwith-
standing the heroic efforts of surgery
to remove 1t during the Summer. Sec
retary Lamont, who was here last
week and whose anxiety was impress
sive and pitiful for his friends to see,
said with something of the tone OF
sadness in his voice that there would
be and could be no attempt on the
part of the administration to make
any interference in the local politics
of New York, and when asked why
this was SO, Lamont replied, saying ii

is sick man, how sick we cannot
tell"
The news which is here reported
for the first time has been received
from those whose sources of informa-
non are so accurate as to justify, even
TO compel, its publication.
FROM TRUSTWORTHY SOURCES.
1t comes from men, some of whom
saw and had part in what is described.
For the sake Of the hope which the
entire country will entertain that the
worst is over, it may be best not to
report with absolute fidelity what the
physicians saw and what they feared
It may be enough to say that at the
present time there is hope that the
narvels Of surgery have been sufficient
20 meet and master the trouble, what
-ver it may be.
When Mr.. Cleveland again became
President last March he seemed to be
the best of health, although it was
1lain to him that he had less vigor. a
diminished power of maintaining sus-
aimed efforts and hearing with pro
onged fatigue than was the case when
'e first, in the prime of his manhood

itates.
He seemed to bear the strain, how.

earned how best to meet and fend of
hose early embarrassments and pres
ure which await newly inaugurated
resident.
But there was mental strain, one
hat called for much greater draft up
m his vital resources than any which
Iffice seekers entailed, created by the
udden, overwhelming and extraordi
lary financial situation.
1t may be that this mental strain
developed, if it did not create, tina,

for old Ephraim is the most dangerous
game the American hunter ever meets.
Many sportsman has gone forth TO
bag a grizzly bear and found grave
in the forest. The habitat OF the
grizzly Is the Rocky mountains aud the
wIlds of Manitoba. Some authorities
declare that the grizzly will not attack
a human being il unmolested, but there
is no doubt whatever that the hunter
who puts a chip on his shoulder when
a big grizzly Is around will not have
long to walt for Old Eph TO knock
il off.
There is another popularity about
this most ferOcious OF all bears, and
that is the fact thas a grizzly never
seems TO know when he has had enough.
A fight with him is always fight 70 the
finish for either himself or his foe. His
powers Of endurance are wonderful,
and be Is often able to keep up his end
Of a desperate battle with the entire
contents Of a Winchester's magazine
distributed throughout his massive
body. One we'll known hunter even
declares that he once shot a big grizzly
four times through the lungs, twice
through the heart and four times in less
vital portions of the body, and that
despite all These dreadful wounds the
bear swan half mile and lived 20
minutes.
A Manitoba hunter tells of monster
grizzly that received eight bullets in
vital parts ana chased a large party OF
mounted men half a mile before it
seemed TO be at all bothered by its
wounds. The party then sent another
vOlley Of eight big leaden pellets into
the bears breast, and be gave them an
other half mills chase before he finally
fell dead. The grizzly is we'll provided
with offensive and defensive weapons.
he can use his big sharp teeth almost
as effectively as lion. A single hug
from his powerful foreieet is almost
certain death, and blow from one OF
them will crush mans skull or disem-
bowel horse or buffalo.
In hugging, as in striking, the griz-
zly's long, sharp crooked claws, which
often exceed six inches In length, per-
form a deadly work. They sink deep
into the victims back in one case and
rim his tOdy like brow from a sharp
sword in the other. A big grizzly &C.
casionally reaches the enormous pro-
portions of nine feet from nose to tail,
and weighs 1900 or 1900 pounds.
Some idea Of its enormous strength may
be gained from the fact that in the days
when bufTaloes were plentiful, grizzly
bears would not only often kill a big
bull with a single blow OF its paw, as
the bull furlously charged, but would
also pick up the carcass aud carry il
away where the flesh could be devoured
az ease.
When attacked by a grizzly, the
hunters only hope is to kill the bear
by well directed shots before it gets at
close quarters. Flight will not avail,
for the grizzly can easily Overtake a
man on foot. Shining up a tree is
equally futile, for a grizzly can go up a
tree like a jumping-jack up its pole. II
the rifle fails, long bowie knife is a
good friend a. close quarters, but the
hunter thus meagrely armed who eS-
caDes with his life or with minor in
luries from a hand to hand combat
with a big grizzly was certainly born
under the luckiest kind OF star.
