Executive.
WOUNDS nOF NECESSARILY FATAL
Cne Bullet Extracted and the Other Probed
For in Vain.
He IS CONSCIOUS AND HIS PULSE GOOD

A detail of secret service men were
near the President. They closed in
on the assassin and placed him under
arrest
He was taken under heavy guard
to a nearby>police station.
The greatest excitement prevails
and further details as to his identity
are lacking. The President was
shaking hands with multitude of
people as the assassin approached
him.
The assassin had a handkerchief
over one hand as if bandaged. AS
he moved forward he put out his
hand presumably to shake the hand
of the President. He shot through
the handkerchief at the President
two times and each bullet took ef-
feet.
The President was taken to the
hospital on the exposition grounds
and medical aid was summoned. One
of the bullets was extracted by the
surgeons and everything was done to
make him as easy as possible. At $
o'clock the surgeons gave out the re-
port that the President was con-
scious and resting easily.
Unfounded Rumor Of Death,
The assassin was taken to police
headquarters at 5 o'clock and locked
up in cell and put under close
guard. When questioned by the po-
lice he stated his name was Fred
Nieman, and that ne came here re-
Gently from Detroit. He denies be-
ing an anarchist. He is a Pole by
nationality.
He refused to tell anything about
himself and would not give any rea-
son for committing the-dastardly act.
He said he conceived the idea this
morning. The police win put him
through severe examination later
AT $40 O'Clock the President was
reported as being conscious and as
comfortable as could be expected.
"A rumor was circulated that he
was dead and was quickly disproYed.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL Shocked
One Sentiment on Hearing the Appall~
ing News.

The appalling news of the att
tempted assassination of President
Mckinley came as a thunderbolt out
of a clear sky to Washington late this
afternoon.
When the first extra of The Even
ing Star left its building about q 40
this afternoon it was bought up by
a man standing on the corner of 18th
street and Pennsylvania avenue.
President Mckinley shotT' he
cried
The cry went down the avenue
like storm. Extras sold like Wild
fire, and within five minutes the
whole avenue and the downtown
section of the city was reading tho
first news from Buffalo.
The news was appalling. 1t came
at time when it was least expected,
and to say that it shocked and para
lyzed Washington is but expressing
it mildly.
Within fifteen minutes The Stars
extra had penetrated almost every
section of the city, and the news
had gained general circulation
throughout Washington 1t all hap
pened about the time that Washing
ton was eating dinner, but every
thing in the home was forgotten and
the sole topic of discussion was the
news.
There was a general movement al
most Immediately for the downtown
districts, where bulletins were con-
stantly being placed upon the bulle-
tin board for the information of the
public. Within a surprisingly brief
space of time large crowd had col
lccted at different points along the
street discussing the news and wait
ing developments.
Social and official Washington
was deeply affected. The depart
ments had closed for the day, but
those few important officials who
were here were extremely anxious
to secure the latest news, and ex-
pressed apprehension of the out
come.
Members of the medical profess
sion who understand President Nc
Kinley's case from a professional
point of view are greatly grati6ed
over the fact that one of Mr.. Nc
Kinley's attending physicians is DR..
Roswell Parke of Buffalo. He is
recognized by the profession as one
of the most eminent surgeons
of the world. This, to the
mind of physicians generally, means
that the President will have the best
of medical attention. Washington
physicians consider it a matter of
great fortune that SO proficient SUR
geon is directly on the field to rem
der service at the Presidents bed
side.
The President left Canton, Ohio,
for Buffalo last Wednesday to be
present at the exposition on Presi-
dents day, which was yesterday.
He was accompanied by Private Sec
retary Cortelyou, Mrs. Mckinley
and three of their nieces.
He made an able and extended
speech at the exposition grounds
yesterday morning, and this speech
has been the subject of much com.
ment, both at home and abroad.
This morning the President, accom-
panied by his immediate family and
about one hundred invited guests,
took special train from Buffalo to
visit Niagara Falls. This train re-
turned to Buffalo this afternoon,
and it was in carrying out the pro-
gram arranged by the exposition Off
fcials that the Chief Magistrate was
shot.

How to Cook Vegetables.

Vegetables such as onions, cabbage,
caulifiower and turnips may be made
more delicate and wholesome by al
lowing their odors to escape with the
steam while they are boiling. There
will also be less odor observable about
the house If this is done than if the
flavors are allowed to concentrate in
tightly closed vessels. While doubt
less certain amount of nutriments
are lost by this means, the vegetables
by being rendered more palatable be-
come more digestible.
The same is true of boiled meats,
and the lid of the kettle should be left
partly off while they are cooking; oth.
erwise there will be a strong. unpala-
tAble flavor. All green vegetables
should be boiled in an uncovered ves-
sci. Some housekeepers claim that a
dish of steaming vinegar on the range
will prevent cooking odors from per-
meating the house.

In the spring everybody needs to

tion.
Pots and pans that have been burned
should be set to boil with cold water

Flannels and other all-wool textures

After washing fine lace pull it into

It will be ready for use without iron

When the smoke bells are suspended
over the gas burners to shield the
ceiling, 1t is better to have them come
as low as possible, but not closer than

Do not put pans and kettles partly
filled with water on the stove to soak,
as it only makes them more difficult

and soak away from the heat.
