This conclusion would be very difficult to
reach for many reasons. All the tissues
through which the bullet passed were dead.
This is very remarkable. indeed. The area
of the dead flesh in the stomach was per-

house came out with her handkerchief to
her eyes, weeping.
The members of the Presidents Cabinet
began assembling at 1890 o'clock. Secre-
tary Root was the first to arrive. and after
him came Secretaries Long, Wilson and
Hitchcock Attorney General Knox and
Postmaster General Smith. The only alb
sentees were Secretaries Gage and Hay
who had not yet reached the city. The
Cabinet members went TO rear parlor of
the Milburn home and there began their
conference. At the same moment the sur
geons selected to perform the autopsy had
assembled with their assistants up stairs
where the President had died, and where
his body still rested.
TELEGRAMS of COINCIDENCE
The expressions of coincidence began to
arrive almost simultaneously with the an

daylight the kilograms began arriving in

THE ECONOMICS OF TIPPING.
On Sleeping Cars, ut Least, There Is
No Good Reason for Ii.

bOSlOH Transcript
There is said to be a movement on foot
for the organization of a trade union
among the sleeping car pOrterS. The pub
lie will fervently hope that the union will
direct it's efforts toward increasing the
wages of the members rather than their
tips. Porters are paid from SIS TO $50
month by the companies. The low rate of
pay is a natural effect of the tipping Gus
tom. As in the case of walters, wages are
reduced by competition for employment
approximately in proportion TO the amount
of the tips. Were it not for tipping the
companies would have TO pay the porters
living wages. 1t is the former. then, who
really get the tips.
Some economist ought to give us a mono
graph on tipping. 1t is not easy in all
cases to determine who gets a tip in the
last instance. The person who first re-
sure Of competition to hand il over to his
employer in the shape of a reduction in
wages. Whether the employer is able TO
retain the tip depends upon the nature of
his business. If he enjoys a monopoly the
tip is not passed on. But if the employer is
subject to competition he is compelled to
give up the tip TO his patrons or con-
sumerS In the form of lower prices. Com
petition inevitably levels individual wages
and perquisites. TO the normal rate. Where
competition prevails, therefore the public
that pays the tips also gets them.
In the countries OF Europe, where tipping
is universally practiced and is definitely
regulated by custom, the general effect is
that the public pays for what it receives
10y Dy Ups, instead OF wholly by nxed
charges. The man who buys a dinner, for
example, virtually gets it at a price dis
counted in proportion to his prospective
tip The man who refuses To tip gets a
part of his dinner at the expense of the
tippers. If no one tipped. prices would be
correspondingly higher. Under the condi-
ions that prevail In Europe the gratuity in
the case OF tip is apparent rather than
real
Where the person tipped is employed by

the public, gets the benefit The tip does

but stays IN the pocket OF the employer
lips 10 Sleeping-car pOrters are of this
class The companies are enabled by the
existence or tipping to secure pOrters at
low wages and are under no pressure 70
lower their charge 10 the public The pro-
posed Sleeping POrters' Union could make
Itself immensely popular by discouraging
tipping and demanding living pay.

$50 far as the treatment OF the case was
concerned. both from a surgical and a medi-
cal standpoint, 1t was successful. The alb
dominal wound was fatal from the start.
The physicians should feel relieved over the
result of the autopsy because it revealed
the fact that the abdominal wound was
necessarily fatal and that nothing that was
done or could be done would more than
delay the inevitable result The govern
ment, the family and the profession were
fairly represented among the physicians
and surgeons making the autopsy"
Besides the brief official report Of the
autopsy given out by the doctors, they will
prepare extended reports. based on their
notes, for the medical journals. The sur
gical report will be prepared by DIR. Mann

Mrs. Mckinley is occupying a large south
room in the .Milburn house overlooking
Delaware avenue and Cory street. Through
the drawn shades the early morning light

that the sleep into which the President had
passed would know no awakening. Mrs.
Mckinley, whose extreme delicacy was for
years the Presidents one great sorrow,
received the news with unexpected calm
ness, and al once acquiesced in the request
of her physician and family to leave the
details of the sad ceremonies in which the
entire Nation was TO join entirely in the
hands of the official and personal friends
who are assembled.
