only OF the most routine and indis-
pensable functions.
For the present the thought OF a
fatal termination OF the presidents
condition Is referred to with awe-like
apprehension, and there IL a hopeful
even prayerful, anticipation that
there may be no need for meeting
those grave emergencies which would
follow n fatal termination OF the
tragic event. Should the worstcome,
however, II Ia realized that impor-
tant changes In the public affairs Of
the country would soon be brought
about. Whether there would be an
extra session Of congress Is open to
question, but there seems no doubt
that an extra session Of the senate
would be essential as an incident to
a change OF administration.
All this has been thought OF here
only In the vaguest manner, and con-
fidence Is almost universal, based on
the presidents magnificent constitu-
ton, his present excellent physical
condition and the tremendous stride
that has been made since Gariield's
time In surgery, that there will be no
occasion to resort to the provisions
mndc to meet the demise Of n presi-
dent in office.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The only
reference the constitution has to the

not speak. His head rested on the
arm OF Mllburn and he seemed only
partly conscious. His courage was
superb and while he was conscious
he was master OF the pain which he
suffered. When the ambulance came
and IA stretcher was brought In he
started forward and partly regained
his feet unassisted.
81 heard not n word from the as
sailant OF the president. He was
struck down the moment he fired the
second shot, and II he did speak 1t
probably was some exclamation at
the very rough treatment he was re-
ceiving."

DESCRIPTION or SHOOTING.

the clearcst accounts rendered so far.
He said:

drawn up close To his breast and the
white linen handkerchief wrapped
about 1t bore the appearance Of n

report and then heard n second shot.
Instantly John Parker, n colored
man, and Secret Agent Foster were

VISIT OF Mrs. M'KINI.EY.

The president asked to see his wife
and the physicians did not have the
heart to refuse. She was there buta

he, In his devotion to her in her ILL
ness, has SO often been Mt hers. Mrs.
Mckinley had been warned not to
talk and the president and his wife
exchanged only II few words. II was
only when he asked her to be brave
for both their sakes that she ialtcrcd

Immediately thereafter she was led

tude. She has been mistress Of her
self and In her sorrow has been nj
most as calm and self-possessed as
the president himself, and no more
than that could be said, for through
out all the president has been cooler
than those about him. He was so
yesterday when the pistol was dis
charged against his breast and he
has been so today, even In his semi
consciousness. When DR.. lsiyey told
Mrs. Mckinley today Of the extreme
gravity Of the case she did not break

from 30 degrees west to 60 degrees west, lies debata ble region crossed by numerous steamship and sailing routes, and within which many bot ties are cast to determine the drift of the waters. The recovery of such bot ties is rare, and the records of the hy- drographic office show but six bottles recovered from this section since 1888.
 The average velocity daily of the 70 bottles which landed on the coast of Europe was five miles. The bot ties which drifted entirely across the ocean from west to east unite in giv- ing an average somewhat higher than usual, the last two having travelled 11.4 miles and 9.9 miles per day, re- spectively. For those thrown over board in the north equatorial drift the average was 10.S miles a day, while those travelling along the north coast of South America averaged 2l miles a day. A chart of the North Atlantic shows hundreds of bottles drifting about the ocean, which may some time be reported by ships crossing the seas.

THE HOME GOLD CURE.
An Ingenious Treatment by which Drunkards are Being Cured Daily in Spite
 of Themselves.
No koxious Doses. No Weakening of the Nerves. A Pleasant and Positive Cure
 for the Liquor Habit.

It is now generally known and under stood that Drunkenness is disease and not weakness. A body filled with poison and nerves completely shattered by periodical or constant use of intoxicat- ing liquors, requires an antidote capa- ble of neutralizing and eradicating this poison and destroying the craving for intOxicants. Sufferers may now cure themselves at home without publicity or loss of time from business by this wonderful "Home Gold Cure' which has been perfected after many years of close study and treatment of inebri- ates. The faithful use according to directions of this wonderful discovery is positively guaranteed to cure the most obstinate case, no matter how hard drinker. Our records show the marvellous transformation of thousands of drunkards into sober, industrious and upright men.
 Wives Cure Your Husbands!! Chil- dren Cure Your Fathers!! This remedy is in no sense a nostrum but is specific for this disease only, and is so skillfully devised and prepared that it is thor oughly soluble and pleasant to the taste, so that it can be given in cup of tea or coffee without the knowledge of the person taking it. Thousands of Drunkards have cured themselves with this priceless remedy, and as many more have been cured and made tenn perate men by having the "Cure" ad- ministered by loving friends and rela- tives without their knowledge in cof fee or tea, and believe to-day that they discontinued drinking of their own free will. Do Not Wait. Do not be deluded by apparent and misleading "improve- ment." Drive out the disease at once for all time. The Home Gold Cure" is sold at the extremely low price of one dollar, thus placing within the reach of everybody a treatment more effectual than others costing $25 to $50. Full directions accompany each pack age. Special advice by skilled physi- clans when requested without extra charge. Sent prepaid to any part of the world on receipt of one dollar. Ad- dress Dept.

MADE THEM CHEW sOAP.-Charges
OF cruel mode OF punishment in one
of the public schools of Chicago have
been placed before 5uperint' nient Lane
by Hugh Brady. He says that children
in the Sumner school have been punish
ed repeatedly for chewing gum during
school hours by having soap forced into
their mouths, being compelled to let 1t
remain until it dissolved and ran down
their throats.
Children who say that they were
subjected to the soap treatment re-
turned to their homes on "Wednesday
with burning throats and raw mouths.
Lester Brady was one of the sufferers,
but tried to conceal the fact from bis
parents. He was unable to eat his sup
per, and after repeated questionings the
story came out. Three other boys,
Harry Barker and Edgar Winderson,
also assert that they we're compelled to
undergo the same treatment.
