TO EXAMINE HER BLOOD.
Mrs. Mckinley Undcrgoes Slight
SurgiCnI OnerntiOn.

Mrs. Mckinley underwent a slight sur
gical operation yesterday, by which her
physicians hope to be better able to dag
nose her case and determine what fur
ther can be done for her relief. DR.. RiSey,
DR.. Johnston. and Surgeon General Stern
berg yesterday tapped one of her veins
and took very small amount of blood
from the distinguished patient for pur-
poses Of making minute inspection.
1t was sent to the pathological labora-
tory of the Medical Museum for micro
scopic examination by Dr. Reed ana
other eminent scientists to determine just
what is lacking to give her strength nee
essary for recovery. DR.. Reed maze
careful examination and is expee,sd TO
report his findings to the physicians TINS
morning. The operation was not pam
ful one and caused the patient no incon-
venenCe.
1t is now stated that the injury which
Mrs. Mckinley suffered upon her hand
was probably not a bone felon as at hrsI
thought, but a wound which resulted
from Impoverished blood, and was pos
sibly aggravated by the fact that heI
hand was pressed too freely ny snJ5s Ills
who shook hands with her at MenlPiI s,
and other places Not only her lndeN m
ger but Il considerable portion OF heI
hand was badly swollen when Dr. RlNeE
used his lance upon it.

Impoverished that it was necessary 10 re
sort to injections of salt solution, WhlCh
1t is believed actually saved her nIe.

Yesterday morning, announced that
their patient had passed a comfortanles
night and continued to show signs VI
slight Improvement she was cotisitei ~
ably brighter, and the President ieIt
somewhat encouraged. Still the change
for the better was not marked. She con-
causinr her little if any inconvenience,
and in fact it is in some degree to the
high temperature that her slight improve
ment is attributed. She is always better
in warm weather.
The President was in his office for
short time yestei day. and in the after

A STOCK BROKER ARRESTED.
Frank Vi. Beck Charged With False
Pretence in Accepting Orders.

Frank NJ Beck, of the firm of Beck &
Alley, stock brokers, with offices in the
Washington Loan and Trust Building,
was arrested late yesterday afternoon on
a warrant sworn out by Ernest +. Me
meyer, charging him with false pretences.
II is alleged that about May Beck rep
resented to Niemeyer that his frIn was
the correspondent Of Jacob Berry, of the
New York Consolidated Exchange, and
that on the strength of this representa-
tion Niemeyer gave the firm an order to
buy ten shares OF stock for him, and at
various times since then has placed with
the firm various sums of money aggregat-
ing $3lO That whereas IT was repre-
sented to Niemeycr that his orders were
being executed, as matter of fact they
were simply buckcted in the office and
that Beck & Alley We're not the CORE
spondents in this city of Jacob Berry, of
New York.
When seen at Police Headquarters Mr.
Beck declined TO discuss the matter eX-
Ccpt through his attorney, but from other
sources il Is said that some months ago
Beck & Alley attempted TO secure a con-
nectiOn with Jacob Berry, but that they
were informed that as Carter & Co. were
already the correspondents for that house
they did not desire to have more than one
correspondent in this city. ThereupOn an
arrangement was effected whereby Carter
x Co handled all Of Beck Il Alleys orders
and placed them with the Consolidated
Exchange house of Jacob Berry, as per
their agreement.
Tuon the suspension of Carter & Co
and the disappearance of the manager Of
that concern, Beck * Alley also tempo
rariIy suspended, and have as yet been
unable TO straighten out their accounts
with Carter q ca. The case will probably
be given a hearing in the Police Court
this morning.

TEMPERANCE WoMEN's HOME.
Plans of the District Union to ray
for the Property bought.

The establishment of home for their
organization is the problem now CONFRONT
ing the members of the Womans Chris
tian Temperance Union of the District Of
Columbia At the quarterly meeting IN
Wesley Chapel, Fifth and + Streets, yes
terday morning much time was devoted
to the discussion of schemes for the pay
ment for the three-story house which the
Womsns Christian Temperance Union OF
the District of Columbia purchased last
April. Two thousand dollars has already
been paid on this property, and it Is the
intention of the union to make another
payment of 5000 on July 10, leaving a
balance of 5000 to be liquidated In hve
years.
Mrs Jennie w. Robinson. Chairman OF
the Board of Trustees of the home, made
an address urging each of the local unions
to work hard to collect money for the
payment, which must be made In July
1t is probable that a general scheme for
the solicitation of funds to pay for the
home viii be inaugurated.
Reports submitted at the meeting show
ed that the cause of temperance has ad-
vanced in the District during the past
year.
A feature of the afternoon session yes

dian Affairs, who was President of the Ma
tional Anti-Salo0n League, and was in close
sympathy with the work Of the Woman 8
Christian Temperance Union. An eloquent
address was delivered by the Rev. Walter
Brooks, of the Nineteenth Street Baptist
Church, and a paper was read by Mrs.
II. N X. Goff. The meeting closed late
this afternoon. The next meeting Will be
held in October, it is hoped in the new
home OF the organization.
The meeting was presided over by Mrs.
Clinton SmiIla President of the District
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
and devotional services were conducted
by Mrs Buzzee, of Georgetown and Mrs.
Smell, of Anacostia. Reports were read
by Mrs. De Reimer, and Mrs. Clayton
Ewing.

an election Of officers. Yesterday after
noon it was decided that the fifteenth an

ton intended to regulate work done on
the public buildings in the city. 1t was
unanimously adopted.
W L. Onstatt introduced a resolution
that no local union be allowed financial
support until it had been affiliated with
the national union for at least a year.
The resolution is aimed at the practice OF
unions applying for a charter with the
national organization and a few weeks
afterward seeking aid in a strike. This
practice has become quite common. The
resolution was passed. Secretary Onstatt

double doors, as represented in the
accompanying cut. Windows can be
inserted in the ends and likewise in
the rear. Common lumber, if not
shaky or rotten, will suffice, but the
best quality of shingles obtainable
should be used for the roofing, and
pine lumber for the doors. With such
a building there should be no chance
whatever of fowls or sparrows en-
tering, which are exceedingly fond
of roosting on certain kinds of farm
implements.
The floor should be at least a foot
above the surface of the ground, and
the approaches to the doors made of
earth or gravel. The dryer the loca-
tons for the building is, of course,
the better.
II is very important, indeed, to
have q place for every article and
then keep it in it's place. Moreover,
when any implement is put in the
building a good coating of kerosene
oil should always be applied to the
bright parts of the castings and
where they are liable to be injured
by rust; it is advisable, in fact, to do
this as often as twice a year. Boiled
linseed oil should also be applied to
the woodwork, and especially where
the paint has worn off. 1t is need
less to add, of course, that good ma
chine oil should be used literally on
all the bearings of an implement
when in use.
To go step further, it is fine pol
icy to run the binders and other har-
vesting machines into the building
just as soon as the days work with
them is over. They can be taken out
without serious delay, and will al
ways be found in good working or
der, which is never the case if they
are left in the fields for any long
period.-Frederick o. Sibley, in N. Y.
