TWO weeks after the shooting. On the
GARD the President suffered a serious
reIanse and on the next day an incis-
ion was made along what was suppos-
ed to be the path OF the wound to al
low the escape of pus there collected.
This was followed by improved symp-
toms. On the 2Sth there was a recur-
renee of the fever, but this soon passed
and there were favorable reports until
August 9Th. On the 10th another inc:s-
ion was made along the wound; TO-
lowing this the reports became daily
less encouraging until the 18th, when
the doctors acknowledged the patient s
condition as serious. Nourishment and
medicine had TO be administered by in
lection. and another incis!on made 10
liberate the pus in the wound. On the
25th he was again pronounced as in
critical condition. though on the 9th
Improvement was shown.
On September 4th the President was
moved 10 the New Jersey coast in the
hope that the change might do him
good. and for awhile this seemed TO be
the result. for on the Sth his symptoms
seemed very favorable; but on the
18th reports began TO .fluctUate and
continued TO do 50 till the 10th. when
a serious relapse came. and from which
he never rallied, dying on the 18th, at
1926 o'clock.
During President Garfelds sickness
there had been criticisms and discus
siCns of the Medical treatment being
administered, and so after his death
post-mortem examination was held. 1t
was found that the ball, after fIactGT-
ing the right eleventh rib, had passed
through the spinal column in front OF
the spinal canal, fracturing the first
lumbar vertebra and driving the spin
tiers of bone into the fleshy parts. The
ball lodged about two inches below the
pancres (sweetbread) and half to the
left of the spine and behind the peri
tonaceum. where it had been complete

r1r. Lincoln AsSasSiuated.

The first Presidential assassination
occurred just after the close Of the
Civil War, when President Abraham
Lincoln was shot and almost instantly
killed in Washington theatre by John
Wilkes Booth, an obscure actor.
President Lincoln had been frequent
ly warned of the danger of assassina-
ton, as well as threatened with it in
anonymous letters. but had never ia
ken any precaution against it, believ-
ing on the one hand that it was MOI
likely to be attempted, and on the
other that if it were contemplated no
precaution could protect one who was
SO accessible as the President Of the
United States.
On the evening of Good Friday. APP
ril 18th, 1865, President Lincoln visit
ed Ford's theatre, accompanied by Mrs
Lincoln and two or three personal
friends. The play was Our American
Cousin" A few minutes after 10 o'clock
an actor, John Wilkes Booth entered
the box, having first barred the pas
sage leading to it, approached the
President from behind, placed pistol
close to his head end fred. He then
leaped from the front Of the box upon
the stage and brandishing a dagger
shouted, Sic semper tyrannis," disap-
peared behind the scenes. passed out at
the stage door and escaped on horse
back. AS he jumped upon the stage his
leg was broken, and he was recognized
by the actors.
The Presidents head fell slightly
forward, his eyes closed and consci-
business never returned. He was re-
moved to a private house on the opDO-
site side of the street, where he died
% minutes past o'clock the next
morning.

Shooting of President Garfield.

The next Presidential assassination
was the killing of James A. Garfield by
Charles J. Guiteau, disappointed and
mentally unbalanced office-seeker. 1t
was on July 2, 1881 that Guteau shot
at Garfield twice in the ladies' waiting
room of the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad in Washington, as he was
about leaving the city to join his wife
on a New England pleasure trip. One
of the balls took effect in his back and
he sank unconscious to the floor. He
was at once conveyed to the White
House and there attended by the best
medical skill till September 9Th, when
he was removed to the seashore at Ell
berton, N. J. BloodpOisoning appeared
on the 18th and four days later be
died.
Guteau was promptly arrested, in
dicted and after one or the most sensa-
tional trials on record was convicted
and executed on June 80, 1882. Gui-
teau's lawyers set up the plea of in
sanity. He had been persistent can
didate for appointment, first as min
lister to Austria aud then as consul
general to Paris. He is reported as haV-
ing said, when arrested, "All right, l
did it, and will go to jail for it. A let
ter was also found on his person in
which he spoke of the Presidents as
sassination as "a sad necessity that
would unite the Republican party and
save the Republic"
President Garfield made a brave fight
for life. His death did not occur until
some two months after he was shot
and several times during that period
he was pronounced by his physicians
as almost out of danger.
description of his wound may not
be uninteresting just here, as it bears,
in some respects. resemblance to one
of the wounds from which President
Mckinley is now suffering.
The assassin stood about six feet be-
:,ind and a little to the right of Mr..
Garfield. An examination OF the wound
showed that the bullet had entered be-
tween the eleventh and twelfth ribs,
about inches to the right of the spi-
nal column, and the physicians were OF
the opinion that it had grazed the llVeT
and lodged in the front wall of the alb
domen. They deemed the injury not
necessarily fatal, but concluded that 1t
was not advisable to attempt removal
of the ball.
Later, however, it was discovered
that neither the liver nor any other
vital orgfN was affected by the bullet.
For several days Immediately follow
ing the shooting the Presidents recoV-
erv was confidently predicted by his
doctors. The first check to the favor
able symptoms occurred on the 18th

A Negro CbOked the Assassin.

New York, Special.-A special from
Buffalo says:
]. B. Parker, who grabbed the
would-be assassin of President Nc
Kinley about the neck with a strangle
hold, preventing the firing Of a third
shot, is a negro who lives at No. $50
Sixth avenue, New York city.
He was born in Atlanta, Ga, forty
five years ago, in slavery. He went
to the exposition to take place as
waiter in the Bailey restaurant. He
lives at No. 223 Clinton street. Buffalo,
while at Work at the exposition.
He is a giant in size, standing over
6 feet, erect as an Indian. has very
regular features and is light in color.
The assassin tore his vest buttons en-
tirely off in the struggle. Parker said:
Its the very best days work l ever
did. If | had not grabbed that crazy
loon he would have shot again. | got
a strangle hold on his neck that |

he fired into the president don't kill

Yes, live in New York, but I never
had chance before 10 shake any pres
ident's hand. l stood in line waiting
my turn; a lady was ahead of me, and
behind was fellow with light hair,
about feet 9 inches tall.
He had cap in his left hand and
a handkerchief in his right hand. lie
was right ia front of me, and l had a
good chance to look at him as we
walked slowly down the line.
Gle didn't seem nervous as | recall
it, but he kept glazing at the presi-
dent all the while in a funny kind OF
way. l was watching him when we
got to the president, but was looking
at the president.
'Suddenly, | heard two sharp re-
ports, the handkerchief on the man S
hand burst into a blaze as the fellow
raised his smoking pistol to shoot
again, aiming this time at the presi-
dents heart.
ct seemed to me that my own heart
was in my mouth, but with jump |
threw my left arm around the man and
knocked his hand down. Then the
detectives and | dragged him into a
side room and threw him on a table
and searched him.
The president turned shade paler
and sat down on a bench. My clothes
