MRS. M'KINLEY is
ALITTLE BETTER
White House Patient Not
Out Of Danger
TALK OF REMOVAL TO CANTON
She Will be Taken to Her Old Home
There at the Earliest Possible
Moment

Washington, June 10.-The slight
health which maintained Itself the lat
ter part of last week continues, and
hope begins to be felt that she may af-
ter all recover from the present at
tack. The improvement, however, is
go slight as not to change materially
the extreme gravity of the case. The
usual consultation of the physicians
was held yesterday forenoon, and at
its close the following bulletin was is
sued:
MRS. McKinley's physicians report
that she passed a very comfortable
night and continues to improve"
The fact that Mrs. Mckinley has
more than held her own, and that no
unfavorable turn has occurred, is con-
sidered in every way encouraging, but
as this result is due partly to the con-
stant use of powerful medicines the
physicians fear the effect of reducing
the stimulants, and likewise have to
cope with the effect on her system Of
the constant administration of the
only means of prolonging her life and
making ultimate recovery at least a
possibility. These stimulants and the
complaint from which she suffered in
California, which is now under better
control have so weakened her powers
OF resistance that apprehension is ever
present that a sinking spell may occur
suddenly from which she cannot be
rallied.
, The reports from the sick room up
10 a late hour last night were decidedly
encouraging. DR.. Rixey appeared
much better satisfied with the patient
condition last night than for some
time. Mrs. Mckinley sat up for a few
minutes yesterday. It was the second
time she had been able to do so in
some time.
Surgeon General Sternberg remain
ed longer than usual last evening
Heretofore he has maintained a sphinx
like silence about Mrs. McKinley's
condition, but when he left last night
he said:
"Mrs. Mckinley is doing very vel
hOWs hNAC AAS ~ h~W A~NN-NF
ments."
Mrs. Mckinley will be taken to Can
ton whenever she is in condition tC
bear the journey. Extensive improve
ments have been made at the McKin
ley home in Canton, including the
building of a porte cochere and the re
modelling Of portions of the house. and
It was planned last autumn that she
and the president should go to Can
ton aout July 1 of this summer II
case Mrs. Mckinley RECEIVERS this plaI
will be carried out, though it is no
expected she would be strong enough
70 leave here the 1st of July, even /
improvement should continue steadily
DIR. Rixey said last night he was un
prepared to predict whether she wOul'
be able to carry out these plans. It Il
believed that considerable benef
would accrue from removal to her ol'
home. especially as It is cooler ant
more breezy there than here.
There is no truth in the story tina
the dispatch boat Dolphin is being sen
here with view to taking her out Il
that vessel later on.

Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1901-09-25

Every schoolboy knows In brief the
frightful story OF cruelty and horror
practiced upon the prisoners of our
Arivateers by the British during the
revolution, and especially OF that rec
ord of the old Jersey, which will go
down the long corridors Of time win
undiminishing reproach to our once
bitter foe.
The whole story was born anew the
other day by the announcement that
the navy department would use one OF
its eolliers as prison ship at Nortolk'
Va, to tighten the tax upon the pretty
well filled prison at the Boston navy
yard.
The report Of the judge advocate OF
the navy for the past fiscal year point
ed out the inadequate quarters TOT
prisoners at Boston-long the principal
naval prison on the Atlantic coast.
and urged that something be done TO
meet the growing demand for such ac-
Communications, incident to the great
increase of the service.
The story OF the British prison ship
Jersey is a criminal record of the
progressive murder of nearly 10000
continental patriots, and that within
the sight of their own dear land and
| amid the Wanted plenty of their cap
tors; and it is something to the dis
credit OF us, who enjoy the fruit OF
| their sacrifice, that no fitting monu-
ment has yet been reared TO their
memory. even though their bones have
been given the Christian burial first
denied them, says Boston Herald.
| The Jersey. the most notorious OF
the several prison ships, was an old
ship-of-the-line 64-gun craft. which
had passed the days OF naval useful
ness ere the revolution was more than
begun.
Fast decaying. the ship was disman-
tied and first turned into a storeship
and moored in the East river at New
York. In the year 1880, however. be-
coming unfit for that service, she was

nrivateersmen captured by the BRUSH
toward whom the bitterest ahlihosI1s
was felt. Smallpox in its most Eltu
lent form soon fastened upon her ~
mates, and fearing that the diseaa
might spread to the weli-populaesu
shore the ship was moved 10 the
wallabout, then solitary and uhife-
ouented part of Long Island, put nov
the site of the fiourishing BROOKLYN
navy yard. There she slowly rotted
away during the remaining years Vi
our struggle for liberty, ana nhaiy
sank on the site she had mace tne
| center OF SO much human misery ash
needless suffering.
Anv one that has been aboard the
| old order Of our wooden ships can re-
call the limited space between decks,
the scanty allowance OF sunshine that
found its way in through the none-too-
generous gun ports, and the general
| atmosphere of confinement even under
the pleasantest conditions. The sur
roundings on the Jersey were these
limitations intensified by an indiffer-
ence that amounted to we1l-nigh dew
ilish cunning.
The old gun ports were securely
closed as soon as the ship was given
over to prison purposes, and small
holes, about 10 feet apart, were cut
instead. These openings, only 20
inches square, were, In turn, partly
closed by the stout iron bars that
crossed them in two directions; and
when we remember that the vessels
sides were from 18 to twenty odd
J inches thick, one can realize how eff
fectually the inmates were cut out
from the reach Of sunshine, except for
the briefest while in the earliest and
latest hours of the day.
The bowsprit OF the ship was the
only original spar Of the ship left, and
out upon its ample length the hardest

ter suffering Is even many times worse.
The old hulk was absolutely unheated,
and the great mass of the prisoners
had only their tattered garments In
which to wrap themselves. The cold
winds blew through the old craft with
out hindrance, the sleet and snow nj
tered down through the hatchways up
on the crippled sick, and the wretched
prisoners saw their frost-bitten feet
actually fall from them for want OF
medical attention of the mildest sort.

A pleasant accompaniment Of the
hot weather this summer is the in
creasing tendency on the part Of city
teamsters to provide their horses with
head coverings. The really fashiona-
BILE thing in equine millinery Is
walking-bat of straw, with high
crown and holes in the brim through
which the horses ears protrude. Some
of the teamsters who have feminine
friends and sense of humor have
provided their animals with trimmed
hats, generously decorated with chif-
,fon. bright-colored ribbons or gaudy
quill. The hats themselves are a CON
siderable protection against the sun,
and when, as is usual, wet sponge
is placed in the crown, the horse can
do his work without danger and in
greater comfort. 1t is sensible in
novation.
