The record-union., 1899-02-27

Grenoble at this evening that Mr..
Kipling's condition was worse than any
time since he became ILL., DR.. Janeway
arrived at the hotel at $3.50 p. M, and,
as he was not expected until later in the
afternoon, it looked as if there had been
a sudden change for the worse, and that
the physician had been called. He re-
manned in the hotel until 4:15, and
then left, returning in half an hour.
Almost at the same time an oxygen
tank was brought to the hotel and
taken up to the Kipling apartments on
the first floor.
That the oxygen was to be admins
Janeway. This is heroic treatment, and
is resorted to only in extreme cases.
Both DR.. Janeway and Dr. Durham
were with Mr. Kipling alternately
through last night, and both were in
attendance on him early this morning
At $3.50 o'clock this morning the follow
ing bulletin was issued:
'Rudyard Kipling remains in a crit
ical condition. The disease continues.
''E. G. JANEWAY
THEODORE DUNHAM."
Soon after 10 o'clock DR.. Janeway,
Jr., son of DR.. E. G. Janeway, was also
called in consultation concerning the
critical condition of Mr.. Kipling.
DR.. Durham came from the sick
chamber soon after II O'Clock His wife
is sister of Mrs. Kipling.
'Is Mr.. Kipling suffering from pneu-
monia? 2" DR.. Durham was asked.
1--WE will call it Inflammation of the
lungs" he replied.
eff he gets through to-day will he be
safer"
IF he gets through to-day he will be
much nearer to safety" said Dr. Dun
ham.
DR.. Janeway would not say anything
about Mr.. Kiplings condition, saying
there was nothing to add to the bulle-
tin. It is learned, however, from other
sources that Kipling is extremely weak
At times he recognizes those around
him. Those at the bedside are Dr. Dun
ham, Mrs. Kipling, her mother, Mrs
Balestier, Mr.. Doubleday, the children
and two nurses.
Some of the callers were admitted
this morning to the sick chamber
Among those favored were: W. D.
Howells, NiloIa Tesla, S. S.. Mcclure
anu SHdlICS DdllCl 1OOiIllS.
The following bulletin was issued at Z
o'clock tonight:
'Mr. Kipling's condition has been
very serious during this, the sixth day
of the disease, giving rise to the grav-
est apprehension for the outcome
&c. G. JANEWAY
THEODORE DUNHAM.'
At that hour the physicians were
making almost constant use of oxygen.
Their demeanor indicates a most crit
ioal stage of the disease. Mr.. Kipling
was delirious as the above bulletin was
issued. Neither DIR. Janeway nor DR..
Durham would say a word. In fact,
neither venture from the patients side
for more than minute at time.
AT 1920 o'clock tonight the follow
ing bulletin was issued:
Mr.. Kipling's condition remains the
same as at last report.
&c. G. JANEWAY.
THEODORE DUNHAM."
1t was said at that hour that Mr..
Kipling was very low, and unconscious.
The bulletin at 1920 o'clock was the
last authentic news of the sick room.
There were the usual rumors about the
hotel, some, perhaps, founded on the
actual condition of the patient; but it
was hard to gather even a small guam
tity of hope from them. 1t as not ex-
aggeration to say that at 2 o'clock this
morning all were prepared for the
worst
DR.. Janeway and DR.. Durham were
with the patient at that hour, and had
been almost continuously throughout
the night.
NEW YORK, Feb 27.-At 3 O'Clock
this morning there was no change in
Kipling's condition.
HOLDING HIS OWN.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Dr. Durham,
at $50 a. m, sent down word that there
had been no change in Kipling's condi-
ton, but that the sick man was hold
