PRESIDENT IMPROVES.
Doctors Satisfied With Condition OF
Their Distinguished Patient
is IN EXCELLENT SPIRITS.
Complications Can Arise Only II IL
Should Later Develop That the
Bone of His Leg Has
Been Injured.

Washington. Sept. 26. - President
Roosevelt passed IA comfortable night
ana ate his breakfast with great relish.
After breakfast DR.. ItiXey. surgeon
general of the navy. DR.. O'Reilly, sur
geon general Of the army. and DR.. Lung
made an examination of the wound and
reported that it was in "a satisfactory
condition. They expect the infamma-
ton to be allayed without complica-
tons.
Absolute quiet has been en.joined
upon the distinguished patient. There
was a slight rise in the presidents tenn
perature after he reached the tempo
rary White House. This was attrib-
utable to the excitement incident to his
removal from the train and was re-
Gardcd as entirely natural under the
circumstances.
The president il in excellent spirits,
but has ~acuuiesced in the decision OF
his physicians for absolute repose. The
announcement is made that he will see
no visitors save the members OF mis-
cabinet. and then only upon the most
important business.
Would Allay Public Anxiety.
1t is the desire of the president that
the public should be informed fully
concerning his condition. but there is a
natural antipathy against the issuance
of bulletins lest the importance and
gravity of the wound might be magni-
fled. 1t is not unlikely, however, that
Secretary Cortelyou occasionally may
issue an official statement. if for nc
other reason than to silence disQUiet-
ing rumors.
Possible complications can arise only
if it should later develop that the bone
Of the leg is injured. a contingency not
now anticipated.
The president did moi leave his bed
during the day, but sat up and read
a book. Secretaries Shaw, Wilson and
Hitchcock found him reading when
they called. They said he looked as
hale and hearty as he ever did. Secre-
taries Shaw and Wilson have just re-
turned from Chicago. where they were
to have met the president.
Only a few of the foreign diplomats
are in the city, but those who are here
called personally to inquire after the
presidents condition. Among the first
to arrive was the Japanese minister,
Mr.. Takahira. There were also a num-
her of other distinguished callers, in

hall to complete work on the platform.
There was much discussion regarding
the ACCESSIBILITY of reattirming the Kan

ing to the chairman that he resigned
his membership in the committee.
The platform as finally presented to
the convention and adopted pays much
attention to the trust problem. de
nouncing monopolies and demanding
stringent enforcement of laws against
trusts. Reciprocity with Cuba is ia
vored. Other planks protest against
the granting of ship subsidies. favor
the election of United States senators

In regard to state questions the adj
ministration of Governor Odell is ap-
proved. The platform continues:
The Republican party pledges itself to
the continuance of these policies and to
the enactment of laws which will for
ever insure freedom from direct state
taxes. As these laws have in no sense
placed the cost of maintenance of the
state unfairly or inequitably upon any in
terests it SHOULD be and is the policy of
the party. through whose wisdom these
laws have been Enacted to exact a just
recompense for privileges enjoyed.
We believe that the policies ~inaugurated
by a Republican legislature and by a Re
publican governor, which are giving to
the state a better system of highways,
should be continued, and we believe in
the enlargement and improvement of the
canals to such an extent as Will fully
and adequately meet all requirements of
commerce, the expense of such improve
ment, however. to be met through sources
of revenue other than by direct taxation.
To such legislation the Republican party
pledges itself and its candidates..
The rights of labor have been extended
and protected under Republican legisla-
ton to Il degree ~unequaled by any other
state of the Union. Since the control of
the executive and Legislative branches of
the state government was secured in 1884
by the Republican party many laws have
been enacted. among which are the eight

court on Friday last on the charge of
forging checks amounting to $1,000.
purporting to have been signed 10y Colo
mel Willard I1unsicker, chairman OF
the Nickel corporation. was again re
manded after Il brief hearing.
Counsel for the prosecution said that
probably others were implicated in the
case, which promised to develop large
ly. Their information disclosed that
not only had forgeries been committed,
but embezzlement and theft of CORE
spondence from Pittsburg to the Car
negie company.
Counsel handed in forged checks for
100000 and $4,000 respectively. He
said the forgeries were all of great
magnitude. The prisoner. he declared,
kept up a lavish establishment at
Kingston-upon-Thames. and steps were
being taken to prevent the removal Of
his handsome furniture.
Counsel also handed the magistrate
a letter from a prisoner in Exeter Jail
which, the magistrate said, threw
quite a new light on the case.
Counsel added that an examination
Of the books showed not only that
Greig's %forgeries were for a very large
amount, but that there had been an
extensive Justification of the books.
The prisoner had apparently been car
rying on large businesses. At various
addresses in the city the police have
seized a mass of documents and CORE
spondence. They also discovered that
chloride of lime had been used in VI
ing names from checks.

SkoMhegan. Me.

SkOWhegan, Me.
Dear Sir: No man Is more interested
in the look and wear of the paint on the
houses you build than you; not even the
owner; not even the painter.
And painters sometimes are suspected
of being more concerned for the look
than the wear. What is your opinion?
Which pays best, for painter to have
his paint last three years, or as long as
he camp He can have it last six, if he
wants to.
Lead and oil lasts three; Devoe Lead
and zinc lasts six. OF couse, conditions
affect the time of both.
Most painters know that zinc toughens
the lead; some use it.
Devoe lead and zinc is thoroughly
ground in oil; the proportions are right,
and the mixture is thorough.
No painter need mix; he can't afford
to. Hand work can't compete with
machine-work. He runs no risk with
Devoe lead and zinc.
All interests lie in using it; yours, the
owners, the painter's-unless he wants
his paints to wear half as long.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.
P. S. Rawles & Co. sell our paint.

MED the privilege. OF the number regis
tered II are colored. OF the 80 who failed
to get their names on the books. only
six are white men. Four were refused

Soldiers Home, and the other two were
refused because they have lived here but
three or four weeks.

der the property qualification. and it is
thought the majority of them have al
ready gotten their names on the books.
The showing made is a highly gratifying
one to the politicians, who say that the
entire white vote of the county will be
reached by the end of the coming week,
when the books close.
The first person to register in Hampton
was Mr.. Samuel Cumming. the venerable
