Fear of Peritonitis.

At five a. m. the kings condition is
exceedingly grave. The kings tenn
perature has risen during the last hour
and it is feared that peritonitis has
developed. Great anxiety is felt lest
the increased temperature is due to an
unfavorable development, such as an
abscess in the vermiform appendix per-
forating the intestines. The heart
weakness continues to cause grave
anxiety. Further stimulants have been
administered The feeling at the pal
ace is that little hope remains. AT
midnight the king took little nourish-
ment and hypoder9lic injection of
nitroglycerin was administered, the
hearts action being weak. His maj
esty rallied slightly and recognized
several of those about his bed. He
then relapsed into a comatose condi-
ton. The queen has left the bedside
but once since the operation. The adj
ministration of nitroglycerin to slim
ulate the hearts action is a grave
sign. The danger of collapse from
shock is not yet passed and the doctors
are still fighting this peril. AT this
hour the palace is everywhere closed
and there are no signs of life about

ing attack, the softenng influences of time have
brought about juster Judgment and the character and
