mo HOPE FOR KENNA.
Dr.. Sewers, for the First Time, Admits
That He Has No Hope.
SENATOR KENNA STILL HOPEFUL
And Believes He Will Again Rally,
Despite the Pains That Rack
His Body-His Faithful Attend
ants Try to Keep the Patient
From Hearing of His Condition.
spscq! 7sleorqm 10 The Rsq.me-.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 3.-Senator
Kenna secured fair amount Of sleep last
night, and in consequence, was in some
what better spirits to-day, although there
was no material Improvement in his con-
dition.
He continues to suffer good deal OF
pain, and the physicians are with him sew
eral times a day.
The sufferings of the last few days and
the loss of rest have greatly weakened him,
which renders the chances of a decided raj
lv constantly less and increases the feeling
of despondency as to his ultimate recovery.
Mr.. Walter AShby, the senator's half
brother arrived here from Charleston this
morning.
Dr. Sowors, late tonight, for the first
time, admitted that he could hold out no
hope for the recovery of Senator Kenna.
He did not look for an immediate falal
result, but felt that the Senator's ailment
had made such progress and so exhausted
his system that the power OF recuperation
was gone.
The end might come at any moment with
acute renewal of the spasms of the heart.
Tonight the Senator's family are watch
ing in agonized suspense every change IN
his condition, and hoping against hope
that the dreaded fatal result may be
averted.
The Senator's devoted wife, DR.. Chiffon
and Miss Kenna are constant in their at
tendance on him, and struggle bravely to
conceal from him the terrible fear which
fills their hearts.
Although sadly exhausted and racked
with pain, the Senator's indomitable will
buoys him up, and he tries to be cheerful
and pleasant TO those who minister to his
wants.
His mind remains clear and he occasion
ally exchanges few words of CONVERSE
tiou with those about him.
By associated Press
WASHINGTON, D, c., January Sat ten
o'clock tonight Senator Kenna's condi-
tion was about the same. No hope Of his
ultimate recovery is held out by his physi-
clan.
The Senator himself, however, is said to
not have lost all hope and believes he will
yet pull through, as he has done in times
past.

He Had No Gizzard.

The burglar was not bad looking
man, although his business had bad
look.
He stood by the door of q sleeping
room and peered in.
A faint light was burning, and he
could hear the measured breathing of
someone asleep.
Cautiously he crept inside, STOPPING
low, and looked around.
No one there save sleeping woman.
In an anstant a cloth saturated with
ether was thrown over her face, and he
waited one, two, three-ten minutes,
and the stertorous breathing of the
sleeper told him the drug was doing its
work.
With dextrous hand he seized the
jewelry and money lying on the dress
ing-case and began quick search in
the drawers Of the case.
,'Oo-oo," came voice from the shad-
ows of the room,
Quick as flash the burglar clutched
his silent knife and turned to meet his
victim.
No one was visible.
100000" came the voice again and
the burglar saw a child in its crib by
the foot OF the bed.
1t was pretty baby, sleepily holding
up its hands TO him.
he let his knife fall to his side and
stepping over to the crib, touched the
child.
1t cooed again softly and held up its
arm for him TO take it.
The impulse was beyond his control.
and he lifted the baby TO his bosom and
it nestled its soft white cheek down to
his and put its white arm about his
neck.
He purred to it, and in moment it's
curly head was laid against his face
and il was asleep again.
sNeyer seen q kid like that" he whis-
uered to himself. Most Of um is afraid
of strangers, and tenderly he laid it in
the crib.
Then he went back to the dressing
case.
He stood still q moment and then
looked furitively over his shoulder to-
ward the crib.
The sleeping face Of the child was
turned toward him.
Slowly he replaced on the case all he
had taken from it. hastily snatched
from the womsn's face the saturated
cloth, opened window near the bed
and quietly slipped down stairs.
Once on the street again he looked N
at the house hungrily-
..Dang it," he growled. "a man tha/
