the doctors had anticipated.
Mry. Younge, had been telegraphed
for on the evening Of the accident, and
had arrived at Kings Abbott early
the following morning. having elected
to travel all night rather than endure
the agonies Of suspense. though the
telegram had been very reassuring.
The third day showed their patient
apparently better than on the preced-

symptoms Of amendment. and he had
gone through the dressing of his
wounds with wonderful composure and
stoicism. But toward evening he grew
depressed and irritable. and evinced
a faint inclination to wander; where

his head and made certain changes in
his medicine-but all to no purpose.
The next day he was in a raging fever.

AT WORK ON MESSAGE.
President Receiving Hearty OooperR- tion of Cabinet Members In Build
 fnE the Document.

Members of the cabinet are prepar- ing elaborate summaries of the work in their departments, which are in tended to be embodied-at least in substance-ia Pesident Roosevelt's s first annual message. to be submitted to congress next December. Having come into the office of chief executive late in the year, as the result of calamity which of course could not be foreseen, the president is entirely unfamiliar with the details of the public work. Only little over two months remain before the meeting of congress, and so President Roosevelt requested the members of his cabinet to supplement their various annual reports with com prehensive summaries, to be used Tn the message, either verbatim or with such condensation as may be neces- sary.
 President Roosevelt is a ready and forcible writer, and the preparation of a message has no terrors for him sc far as mere literary workmanship goes. He feels. however, according tC members of the cabinet, a natural difidence about making a report upOI the work done by another and mucf beloved president.
 The fiscal year ended with July 1, and President Roosevelt's actual admin istration did not begin until after the period of the usual annual reports. Ii is. believed therefore he will summar ize these reports to a large extent, SC far as relates to the history of the last year. The president has already begun sketching out the message ana he will have the summaries from tho different departments within a shor time
