Special to tho scranton Tribune
Factoryvillc, March 1.-THE annual
prize speaking for young ladies of Key
stone academy took place at the First
Baptist church last night.
Nine young ladies contested for the
prize, and every one was exceedingly
good, and as whole it was the best
average prize speaking since the his
tory of Keystone academy. Each one
had a high mark, and it was exceed
ingly difficult for the judges to decide
upon the winner.
Miss Edna McKain was declared the
winner and Miss Marie Suydam and
Miss Nina Stark received worthy mem
tion.
The Judges were Rev. NJ p. Godshall,
of Wavcrly; Charles w. Dawson. esq.
of Scranton, and Rev. Herbert Pease,
of Eaton, Pa.
The music for the occasion was fur
nished by the academy male quar-
tettc, which, as usual, did great credit
to themselves, and responded to sew
eral cncores. The audience that greet
ed the speakers was. perhaps. the
largest that ever assembled at this
church at such an occasion, standing

A MOTHERS WOE.
Her Two Girls Supposed to
be Married to Mere
Boys.

On December 18th a young man
called at Clerk Chandler's Office
and, making an affidavit that his
name was o. E. Milburn, of legal
age, was granted license to wed
Viola Cunningham whose age was
given as nineteen years.
That young man, in his love, for
got the Washingtonian teaching
and evidently told lie.
Now comes an estimable old
lady, Mrs. Rachel Cunningham,
much perturbed to find out the
truth regarding the reported mar
riage Of two OF her daughters
She claims that Milburn is no
other than viii Wood, aged 19,
Of Muskogee and that her daught-
er's name is Bessie and not Viola.
After the license was issued to
"Milburnr he took the 16-year-old
Bessie to Bartlesville and there
married her under the assumed
name. The boy and girl couple
said they were going to open a
bakery at Oklahoma City and sent
for IA year-old sister of Bessie's
to clerk for them. When the
younger sister stole away from heI
mother Loren Folten, of Muskogee,
is also said to have left home.
Now the anxious mother is trying
to learn if Folten swore falsely in
order to get a license to we'd Eu-
genia.
Mr.. Chandler has issued no Ii
cense to parties Of those names bus
the mother believes Folten used
another name.

After 5 O'Clock there was a period of
comparative quiet about the Milburn
house. The members of the Cabinet and
other distinguished officials who had been
coming and going throughout the day
now withdrew and it was understood no
further bulletin would be issued until 9
p. m
AS the twilight deepened into dark
ness, the lights appeared in the upper
chambers of the Milburn house and the
eyes OF the watchers outside were turned
with anxious interest to these simmer
ing tokens of the watch in and about the
sick room. All through the day great
crowds had gathered on the streets con-
verging at the Milburn house. But as
darkness came they gradually disap-
peared. A steady line of men aad wo-
men came up to the ropes to make anx-
ious inquiries Shortly before o'clock
Vice President Roosevelt called at the
Miiburn residence and remained for a
short time in conversation with Secretary
Cortelyou and those near the President.
There was little additional information
to give beyond the 4 o'clock bulletin,

HARDLY BE MORE FAVORABLE UNDER THE
VERY GRAVE CIRCUMSTANCES.

i'm bedded in the muscles of the
back. Thus fa rthe ball of the as
sassin, which is still in the body,
gives the physicians no anxiety.
But If the slightest inflammation,
appears in the region of the lead it
will be immediately extracted. No
difficulty is anticipated in this re-
gard. One OF Edison's best X-ray
machines and his most skillful and
trusted operator, DR.. III. A. Knolls,
arrived today. The batteries were
charged and the machine is ready
for instant use. With it the physi-
clans say there is not the slightest
doubt that the ball can be located
perfectly for an operation. They
do not deem it advisable to sap any
of the Presidents strength at this
time. All this reserve force is need
cd now to resist the danger of peri
tonitis and septic poisoning. Be-
sides, if inflammation does not set
in around the bullet it will soon be-
come encyste6.
All the effects of the ether which
was administered when the opera
tion was performed on the Presi-
dent at the exposition grounds had
disappeared this morning and the
Presidents mind was perfectly
clear during the time that he was
awake today.
Today for the first time he
enjoyed natural sleep. While he
was still more or less under the in
fluence of an anaesthetic his s1um.
her was restless and disturbed and
him little real good. Today be-
tween 9 and a o'clock he had the
soIace of natural slumber for abouc
four hours and the physicians
stated unofficially that his sleep
had been quiet and reposeful," anu
that it had helped the sufferer a
great deal. Today, also for the
first time, nourishnent was admin.
istered. 1t was in liquid form and
was injected hypodermically to
avoid the possibility of irritating
the walls of the stomach. The ex-
terior wound was dressed this
morning and is progressing satis-
factcrily. All day the members of
the Cabinet and the others asso-
ciatcd with the President in public
life came solicitously and went
away almost jubilantly, and all re-
fecting the hopeful outlook at the
Milburn house. Vice President
Roosevelt received the earlier bull
Ietins and after going to church
hurried to the residence. There
he was Joined by Senator Hanna.
They came away together and gave
expression to the most confident
and encouraging sentiments. The
Vice President not only shared the
cheerful feeling but was extremely
optimistic. Both gentlemen took
occasion to denounce in unmeasured
terms the statements gaining cir
culation in some quarters that the
physicians were not frank in their
communications to the public.
They maintained that the Presi-
dents favorable condition was even
devastated by the physicians,
through motives of conservatism,
during the seventy-two hour Pc
riod.
Later Secretary Cortelyou took
occasion to emphasize this very
point by issuing an official state
ment assuring the public Of the
complete trustworthiness OF the
bulletins sent out by the physicians.
Senator Hanna came again during
the afternoon and was seldom far
removed from the Miiburn house.
