PRESIDENTS CONDITION.
Another Operation Performed on
Injured Limb-Bone Slightly
Affected.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Secretary
Cortelyou at $50 o'clock Sunday after
noon issued the following statement:
"Dr. Newton NJ. Shaffer, of New
York, Joined the presidents physicians
in consultation Sunday morning at 10
o'clock. The increase in local symp-
toms and a rise in temperature ren-
dered it necessary to make an incision
into the small cavity, exposing the
bone, which was found to be slightly
affected. Thorough drainage is now
established, and the physicians feel:
confident shat recovery will be unin-
terrupted. The operation was per-
formed by Surgeon General Rixey, as
sisted by DIR. Lung, and in consultation
with Surgeon General O'Reilly and
Doctors Shaffer, Uric and Stitt.
GEORGE B. CORTELYOU,
'tSecretary to the President"
The president stood the operation
very we'll and subsequently expressed
his satisfaction. at the successful re-
suit. The physicians take a roseate
view of the presidents prospects for
getting out again. He has become
somewhat FESTIVE because of his close
confinement, and the physicians are
considering the advisability of permit
ting him to take a ride in few days.

Emile lola, aside from being a IA
nous novelist, was the foremost man
in Europe during the Dreyfus affair.
1t was his letter of accusation
against high officials of France that
brought the eyes of the world upon
him. He charged the minister of war
and other government officials with
perjury at the trial of Col. Ferdinand
Esterhazy, and the government held
him responsible. He was an exile from
France because of his bold charges.
Among his most famous works was
the series of political, social and physi-
illogical studies which have been called
his Human Comedy" These works
passed through many editions and Gre
ated great sensa ton.
During the past 20 years lola has
written "Une Page d'Amour," lie
Bouton de Rose" "Nana." "Pot
Bouille," "Germinal," "La Terre," La
Bette HUMANE" "L'Argent," ia
Debacle" and other novels.
In 1885 NJ. lola was appointed a
knight of the Legion of Honor, and in
1891 he was made president of the
French Society of Men of Letters.
Zola's work ''Lourdes'' created a
great commotion in religious circles,
and Pope Leo XIII. refused him an
audience because of it.
Perhaps no author of modern times
has been so extensively read as lola.
His translators and publishers in many
countries have been prosecuted and
punished as criminals by authorities
whom his realism scandalized.
Paris, Oct. 1.-The autopsy on the
remains of Emile lola has resulted in
an official declaration that he died
from asphyxiation, caused by car
bonic oxide fumes.

Hungarian birth have landed on Amer
