Il was announced several times dur
ing the illness Of Mr.. Mckinley that the
physicians in their bulletins were deal
ing frankly with the public. 1t seems
that such was not the case-at least.
that inference IS tustifiable from what
the doctors are saying in their inter
views. For instance. DR.. Wasdin, in an
interview in the New York World. is
quoted as saying: The first intima-
ton OF what was really the matter with
the President came on Tuesday, when
We opened the incision in the abdo-
men. By that time the peritoneum,
which had been cut the entire length
Of the surface incision. had grown to-
gether, so that 1t was impossible to
see what was going on inside. We
found gangrene in the surface wound.
and small particles of diseased flesh
were cut away. This fact was not
made public. We did not consider It
especially significant. as it was likely
to have been produced by surface
conditions and exposure. We had no
means Of knowing that gangrene was
also developing inside the peritoneum-"
And yet DR.. Wasdin says that II was
on Tuesday that the doctors got their
first intimation Of what was really the
matter with the President. They sus-
pected then, though of course they did
not know, that the wounds inside were
in the same gangrenous condition as
the one on the outside. They did not,
however, acQuaint the public with their
fears, but continued TO send out bull
ietins Of the most hopeful character.
And it seems that the exhaustion from
which the President suffered was sus-
pected as being due wholly to the need
Of nourishment and not TO the gan
creme. and therefore il was suggested
that solid food be given him.
The doctors are having a lively dis
cussion over the case, and many things
are cropping out that would not have
appeared in print If there were not dis
agreement among the doctors. DR..
Mann. who performed the surgical
operation denies that the pancreas was
perforated by the bullet. That is a
matter that the autopsy ought to have
settled. No doubt the public will hear
a great deal more about the case before
the discussion of il is ended.

Personal.

Sir Michael Hicks Beach's success
sion to the Partnership of the British
House Of Commons has once again
brought into prominence the fact, little
known perhaps, that the peer who en-
joys a similar distinction in the Upper
House is the Earl of Templemore, who
quite recently entered his 61st year.
and who, difficult though it may be to
believe, succeeded his father in the
year in which the late Queen assembled
the throne, taking his seat some five
years later on the very day following
the attainment of his majority.
-Isidor Rayner. who is prominent
member of Admiral Schleys counsel
before the naval court of inquiry, is
an old acquaintance of the admiral.
During his long service in Congress,
where he represented the fourth Mary
land district, consisting of several
Baltimore wards, Mr.. Raynor was in
close touch with the leading line Off
GERS of the navy, many of whom he is
intimately acquainted with. Mr.. Ray
ner is a graduate of the University of
Virginia and has been a conspicuous
member of the Baltimore bar since
1870.

John w. Mackay, the mining and
cable king, has a plan of his own for
dealing with anarchists. Let them be
handled by a vigilance committee, he
says. I'VE never had so good a gov
eminent in San Francisco and vir-
glnia City" he told a reporter, "as
during those years when the Vigilance
Committees were in control. Every Oh
fender was tried by a Jury of twelve
good men. and, IL found guilty, execut-
ed on the spot. Bad characters left
the country instantly on receiving the
warning of the committee. 1t did not
have to be repeated. Summary JUS
tice properly executed will do the work
and drive anarchists out of America. -
This is dangerously close to advocat-
ing lynch law. In the old days of the
Vigilance Committees of the far West
there were no regularly organized
courts, and the resort to the commit
tees was an expedient that was made
necessary by the influx of bad and dan
gerous men into the new territory.

Few things are more Joyous to ar

an orator. The Irish race is famous
for it's contributions to merriment in
this particular. The Academy gives

INTEREST IN THE FAIR.

Interest in the State Fair is steadily
increasing. We make this statement
from what is being said about it in the
county papers in different parts of the
state and from the preparations which
some of the counties are making TO
capture the prizes for the best ex-
hibits.
If any one at any time had a doubt
that the Fair would be a success
that doubt has disappeared. Its sue
cess is assured. We published yester-
day the programme for the races. The
races alone win insure a very large
attendance. 1t is pretty well agreed
that about everybody in the city will
attend the races and the country for
hundreds of miles from the city will
contribute a large percentage of its
population. With good weather there
is no reason why the Fair should not
be the most successful one ever held
in the state.
Those in charge of it are working
earnestly to bring every department up
to high standard of excellence. There
will be plenty to see outside of the
races. The management has more than
six weeks yet to get everything in
shape. and it already has in sight ex-
hibits enough to speak of the prospects
of the Fair in the most enthusiastic
manner. From now until the Fair
opens will be busy time with the Fair
management, and on the opening day,
according to present indications, it will
have reason to feel proud of it's work

Reauty wanted, Not MateriaIism.

Joachim, the famous violinist, is in
the habit of interrupting his lessons in
violin playing with pointed remarks,
which show a lively sense of humor,
says the Chicago News. One day a
pupil, who was native of Konigsberg,
played the adagio from the ninth con-
certo of Spohr. Although he played it
correctly it was a dry performance, and
Joachim remarked:
my dear B-n, it is no disgrace to
have been born in the city of pure
reason but if 1 were you 1 would not
show it in my playing"
To another pupil, who had played the
finale from a Mendelssohn concerto
very stolidly and heavily, he remark
ed 81 beg for the next lesson that the
elves do mot come to dance in riding
boots"
Another youth could not execute a
figure that was ornamented with bril-
liant shakes to his satisfaction. In
order to make the character of the
passage clear to the pupil Joachim
said: THAT passage is meant for a
garland with blossoms hanging on it
not potatoes"

ordered the men to join in and sing
the song. A few of them were able
to obey the order, but some 300 of the

and he issued an order that all OF the

know that the Star Spangled Ban

The celebrated Chinese astronomical
instruments, which rested on the walls
OF Pekin for centuries until they were
looted upon the arrival of the troops
of the allies in that capital. have ar
rived in Germany and been placed in the
park at Sans Souci. There is some
thing Of romantic connection between
Sans Souci and loot. Napoleon. 1t will
be remembered looted Sans Souci, for
which act he has been universally con-
demned in Germany. However, Ma
poleon was at war with Germany when
he looted. Germany was not at war
with China when the astronomical in
struments were forclbly seized and re-
moved from Pekin. II makes all the
difference in the world who does the
footing.

Comedy and Tragedy.

while stopping at a small place
down below New Orleans a few weeks
ago, ran across a rather funny
ing to the Times Democra of that city,
land it was one of the strangest COM
binations of the tragic and the comic
I have ever found. There is a man
in a certain little coast community who
is now to be counted in the bachelor
class, but it is not exactly his fault
He was rather persistent wooer, and
the experience I have in mind will
probably confirm this general state
ment. 1t was his last wooing expert
ence. The woman who figured in the
case was by no means young. She was
well up in years, and, in fact, had
lived long enough to lose the best part
of her teeth. My bachelor made some
progress. The lady looked upon him
with favor for while, and it was dur
ing this time that he concluded to buy
something that he thought his sweet
heart needed. He bought her a brand
new set of teeth, and he got the best
he could find in the market. He gave
them to her. and she accepted them
with becoming grace, and was warmly
effusive in making her acknowledge
ments. Another fellow came along,
and after singing a few of loves softer
platitudes to the old maid won her
over on his side of the question, and
in a short time it was announced
that she would marry her new sweet
heart. The bachelor was riled. He
was heartbroken. But he was not to
quit without showing his resentment
in a more emphatic way. So he sat
down and addressed very curt note
to the woman who had switched her
affections, and the substance of the
note was that he wanted the fair lady
to return the set of teeth he had given
her. She did so, and then married the
other fellow, and this is the tragic part
of the little love story"

II will be remembered, he hurled in

have had much effect upon the jurymen

certained by a Washington newspaper

The game warden of New York Is go
ing to institute proceedings against a
certain cold storage warehouse in New
York city for having in it's possession
game birds out of season. More than
1900 birds were discovered by the
warden in the company's possession.
The penalty for each bird is $25, with
an additional penalty of $50 for each
time the birds are found in the ware
house on separate days. 1t has been
calculated that the warehouse company
is liable to the state in the sum OF ST.
1877, 900 under the law. The effort to en-
force the law imposing this enormous
penalty will be made probably about
Oct. l. Meanwhile the birds are rip

President Garfield was shot by Gut
teau on July 2, 1881. The President lin
gered until Sept. 10 of the same year,
when he died at Elberon, N. ]. On Nov.
Il Guiteau was placed on trial for his
life. His conviction was not secured
until Jan. rs, 1882, and he was hanged
on June 30 of that year. Nine months
interviewed between the crime and its
expiation. President Carnot OF France
was assassinated June "a, 1894. The as
sassin was tried and convicted on Aug.
8 following, and on Aug. is his head
fell into the basket of the guillotine.
1t took only two months to make a
legal end of the criminal. The Phenix
Park murderers, who assassinated
Lord Cavendish in February, 1883, were
convicted in April and executed in
June. The expedition of these French
and English cases ought to be followed
in the case of Czolgosz. There is no
reason why there should be a long
trial, or a long interval between the
sentence and its execution.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
THE most potential influences in legis-
lation in the past forty years have been
organized labor and agriculture. The
acts of Congress and of many state
legislatures show that the wage work.
ers have not been neglected. Volumes
could. be filled with laws enacted upon
their solicitation. In one sense all this
is class legislation, but that is narrow
view of it. Properly regarded, it is
legislation in the interest of all the
people-as much in the interest of capt.
tai as of labor. Some of the legislation
supposed to be helpful to the farmers
has not been judicious, but none of it
smacks of civil war"
The New York Commercial Qnd.)
says: while hundreds of hysterical
persons are talking loudly of laws for
torturing the assailants of presidents
and dungeon cells a thousand feet I'M
der the earth for anarchists there is a
measure of refreshing originality about
this from a sermon by the Rev. John
Bunyon Lemon of Manchester, N. H.:
1 see the hand of God in this attempted
assassination. The President had an
opportunity to suppress the liquor traf-
fic in the Philippines, and failed to do
his duty Better let the laws stand
just as they are, but set the fool-killer
to work"
The Louisville Courier Journal says:
What earthly good would 1t be II
Peary or any one else were to reach

with It? Year after year some one gets
lost in search of this mere astronomi-
cal point, which he would not recognize
II he reached it except by an astrono-
mical calculation. and another expe-
dition was to be sent out in search of
the first. But this is not the worst OF
IL. They are beginning to repeat the
folly as to the South Pole, and between
the two the public will be given no
rest"
