BUFFALO. Sept. s.-After the $50 o'clock
bulletin had been issued tonight from the
Milburn residence announcing a continu-
snce of the favorable condition of the
President, there were many indications
that the bulletins were but meager indica-
tions of the real Improvement of the dis
tinguished patient.
At 9:45 O'Clock Miss Mckinley, a sister of
the President, DIR. and Mrs. Herman Baer,
the latter a niece of the President, and the
Misses Barber. nieces of the President, left
the house and taking carriages announced
their intention OF returning to their homes
tonight. Abner Mckinley accompanied
them to the station and to the Associated

STATEMENT FROM DIR. PARK.
An Eminent Specialist Thinks the
Presidents Chances Are Good.


BUFFALO. N V. Sept. s.-Dr. Roswell
Park, one of the physicians in attendance
on the President, was busy in the operating
room of the general hospital when a re-
porter called to ask him some particulars
regarding the Presidents condition in ad-
dition to the meager statements sent out
in the bulletins from the bedside. DR.. Park
was averse to any public discussion of the
subject, but he finally consented to add his
individual testimony to the hopeful char
acter of the combined statement of the
physicians in the following words:
IF in such a case Ceases analogous to
that of the PresidenO the patient is in
good condition at the end of the third
day the attendants justified in regard
ing lt as having passed most critical
period If now the public chooses to apply
that statement to the particular case of
the President 1T probably would make no
mistake. We have seen nothing to justify
any alarming rumors and / don't know
how they should have obtained circula-
ton.
Yesterday the President slept like a
child and this morning as cheerful as
could be desired and communicative as
the attendants permitted him to be. We
cannot allow him to talk yet or permit
him to tire himself in any way. Mrs. NC
Kinley is the only person, other than the
professional attendants in the case, who
is allowed to see the President"
''Is ii true" the doctor was asked that
the physicians expect to make public a
statement giving description of the opera
ton or other interesting data regarding the
case?"
Perhaps" DIR. Park answered, "in due
time, as soon as circumstances will permit,
a detailed report probably will appear in
a medical journal. But don't you think 1T
is rather early to talk about that?'
DR.. Parks manner throughout the in
terview indicated that his impression of
the prospects of the Presidents case, based
upon the conditions as they now exist, was
hopeful.
All of the physicians agree that one Of
the encouraging features of the case is
that in addition to the water injection
there has been little milk and egg nour-
ishment given the President and there is
no i'll effect from IT.

said, would be the last of the night
at the house. He only stayed a few min

interview with DR.. McBurney. When he
came out he declined to talk further than
to say: Everything is all right, and if
the Improvement continues. 1 may go home

Old loves are like old chothes-

Just about the time a man gets the

insists he must do she trots out a
whole lot more that he mustn't do.
The difference between a man and

time to keep out of the corner he
wants to get her into. But after she
is in she wants to stay there; while a
man will work years to get her into

doesn't care a hang whether she stays
there or not.

A New Congressional District.

man and the subject of redistricting
the state to provide a constituency
for the additional representative is
being discussed by the press. The
proposition to leave the districts as
they now + and elect the new mem
Der from the state at large is said to
he favored by some of the prominent
politicians, but appears to meet with
no sanction at the hands of the news
papers, and it is probably safe to as
sumo that such a scheme will be de-
precated by popular sentiment.
The Baton Rouge Advocate has
devoted considerable attention to the
question and figures out that an
equitable adjustment, both from a
geographical and population stand
point, as well as homogeneity of con-
stituent elements and unity Of mate
rial interests, would be secured by
forming the seventh district OF the
parishes of Calcasieu, Cameron,
Avoyelles, Rapides, Acadia, st. Ian
dry, Sabine and Vernon. Among
the changes in the other districts
consequent upon the reaportionment
as suggested by The Advocate would
be the transfer Of Ascension and As
sumption from the third to the sixth
district.
A correspondent whom The Advo-
cate designates as lone of the lead
ing politicians of the state, a resident
of the fourth congressional DISTRICT
writes to that paper to suggest what
be considers a still better apportion-
ment of parishes for the new district
viz: VIM, Grant, Rapids, Ayoyelles,
Landry, Calcasieu and Cameron.
"This," he says, twill take three
parishes from the fourth COMPRESSION
al district, but Sabine and Vernon
should remain in the fourth. VIM
and Grant are contiguous to Rapides,
and the district indicated by me
would be one in which there is a
community Of interest. The princi-
pal industries r rice, sugar and lum-
Der, and all lying on the Southern
Pacific, Iron Mountain and Texas
and Pacific and Of easy access.
There is a movement to hold on to
Rapides for the fourth district, but |
don't see how the legislature can ever
leave Rapides out of the new district
to be formed"
The chief inclines to the view of
the Franklin Vindicator-News that
the character of the men to be sent
to congress is a matter 81 much more

the districts from which, they are ac-
credited. We are far from subscrib-
