Another one of the physicians, who
asked that his name should not be
used, said:
$50 far as the treatment of the case
was concerned, both from q surgical
aud medical standpoint, it was sue
cessfol. The abdominal wound was
fatal from the start. The physicians
should feel relieved over the result OF
the autopsy, because IL revealed the
fact that the abdominal wound was
necessarily fatal, aud that nothing that
was done or could be done would more
than delay the inevitable result. Tne
Government, the family and the pro-
fes,ion were fairly represented among
the physicians and surgeons making
the autopsy"
DIR. Matthew d. Mann, the surgeon
upon whom fell the responsibility oil

mediately after he YVES shot, in the
course of a curso.y talk said:
"The report made shows very
plainly that the location of the bullet

This serious damage was done to the

the locality where 1t now rests.
"The general system Of the patient
failed to respond to the demand upon
IL for revival from the shock suffered
by the shooting. IL was due probably
TO low state OF vitality-not to poor

at present

The RESULTS OF the autopsy on the
body OF President Mckinley accustomed
considerable surprise among physicians
and laymen who, from the bulletins
that were issued, had been unable to
discover anything that would lead them
to suspect the true nature OF the Presi-
dents condition. These bulletins which
were continually published stating the
Presidents pulse to be anywhere from
100 to 146, and ending with the state
ment that no was doing well. were very
misleading, and TO many who were un-
able TO account for the glaring dlscre'
pancy unintelligible, Any patient with
a eunshot wound of the abdomen hav-
ing q pulse over 120 cannot be said to
be doing we'll. The fact seems to be
that the President had peritonitis and
Goxaema ever since he was shot, and
cheese conditions amply account for the
hearts action and the rapidity OF the
pulse. 1t would thus appear that
che much herslded triumph in surgery
in connection with which the late
Presidents certain recovery was pre-
dicted, was no triumph at all. The
President died as the result OF blood
poisoning, due to modification OF the
intestines, the fatality being directly
attributable to the wound inflicted by
Czolgosz's bullet. The autopsy dis
closed, among other things. an entire
lack of foundation for the cheering and
optimistic bulletins which the surgical
and medical experts in charge OF his
case continued to issue until their pa
tient had absolutely collapsed. 1t has al
80 been demonstrated that tho President
was not 10 the best of health when
shot. The result shows that he was
much run down and that his vitality
was low, which accounts for the fact
that nature did not aid the means used
for his recovery.

GOVERNOR AYCOCK AS A COOK

Friends Of Gov. Aycock recognize
in him a man equal to any emergency
but few Of them perhaps are aware
that to his other accomplishments
he adds that of being a good cook.
The Fremont Visitor gives this:
We called Sunday afternoon to see
the Hon. b. +. Aycock, who so ably
represented this district in the last
Legislature, and were glad to find his
condition greatly improved. His
brother, Gov. G. B. Aycock, was at
his bedside, where he remained for
several days. There is nothing
formal or foppish about our Governor.
When we left the house the Governor
had his coat off and was in the kitchin
preparing a delicate dish of soup for
the sick man, unwilling to intrust so
important a matter to less skillful
hands. We have long known c. B.
Aycock as one of the ablsst lawyers
in the State, a platform speaker with
out peer, and are proud to rccog-
nize him as Governor: but we had not
known before of his no less honora bic
accom- plishment, if done vol, that of
cook. All honor to any man who has
the heart in him to feel for brother
as this little incident shows Gov.
Aycock's love for his brother

would just, as soon make it twice or
thrice that amount, thus showing

that the notoriety gained by the
