closed up the rear. No sooner had the
carriages started than battery A, with
20 mounted artillery men, and as many
mounted police, surrounded them and in
few seconds the cavalcade swung at
rapid gait down Meridian street The
crowd in the circle had hardly got a
glimpse of the carriages before they
soldiers were left behind and also q
number of the carriages. Yet they sent
up a cheer and apparently took 1t for
granted that there was nothing unusual
in this method of leave taking.
TRIP TO HOSPITAL.
The cavalcade started south on Meri-
dian street between rows of banked up
humanity held back from the street by
ropes. A slight rain had begun to fall
and this appeared to furnish the reason
why the carriage containing the presi-
dent should be entirely closed. Amid
the sound of many horses trotting
upon the asphalt and the rafting of the
carriages could be heard the cheers of
the people, who though they could not
see the chief executive of the nation,
thought they were bidding him a good
bye. For three squares along South
Meridian street the carriages and escort
who attempted to keep up with them by
running. Finally the station was reach
ed, and slight delay arose in crossing
TIE tracks because of a train that was
about to leave. The engine was stop
ped as it started on it's way across the
street, and the carriages went galloping
over the tracks and on to South street.
The crowd that had gathered at the
east end Of the station looked upon this
maneuver with wonder. but the car

South street and in a few minutes the
distance of several squares to the st.
Vincent hospital was covered. AS soon
as Captain Hyland of the police arrived
there, he alighted and running to the
door of the presidents carriage. which
had stopped, he assisted him to alight,
and walked with Senator Fairbanks
and Governor Durbin I'D the steps of
the hospital. The occupants of the third
carriage quickly followed and at the
his artillerymen about the entrance, and
squad of police who had been sent to
the hospital before the president left
the club appeared and formed a Gordon
about the building. Everything was
done with dispatch and the gathering
crowds were kept at a distance. No one
was allowed to enter the hospital except
| those belonging to the presidents party,
or those who had special business there
From the time the president left the
Columbia club until he found himself
| in the hospital, not more than ten min
utes had elapsed. The whole movement
had been carefully planned in the Col
umbia club before it was carried out
and the utmost effort was made to keen
any inkling of what was to take place
from reaching the street. The necessary
orders to the police and soldiers were
not given until the last moment and in
this way the knowledge that something
was amiss was confined only to those
who had an official interest In the presi-

very web, then, it will have to be
that way" said the president resigned
ly Il will do as you gentlemen say
Now, what do you want me to do?"
The president was told to remove his
shoes and stockings and neither gar
ments. He also removed his coat and
vest. A momont later. however. he
was told to simply remove his shoes,
and he would be required to bare the
leg only. This was done. The presi-
dent walked to the operating table
alone, and as he lay down he remarked
with smile:
Gentlemen, you are formal I see
you have your gloves on"
This was in reference to the antiseptic
gloves of the surgeons.
Mr.; President said a surgeon with
a smile, 1t is always in order to wear
gloves at presidents reception"
This caused the president to ex-
claim: Good; well said.''
The operation began without delay.
The pain caused the president to NUT
ter several times in a low voice, but
he said nothing that was distinct ex-
cept to ask for glass OF water before
the needle had been removed.
After the removal was over he made
several laughing remarks concerning
trivial matters, and asked if he would
be allowed to use his leg long enough
to walk upstairs himself.
You will be hauled upstairs in a
wheeled ambulance said a surgeon.
When they brought the vehicle the
president said: Why, that's Wheel
barrow"
from the operating room the president
was served with a light luncheon and
chatted pleasantly to those in the room.
He made several kind remarks to the
attending nurses about the trouble he
was causing, and shifted his position
several times nervously.
At 7:40 D. m. a white blanket was
thrown around him and he was placed
on the hospital stretcher and escorted
by company of infantry was carried
to the car a block away by four negro
porters from the train. He babe good
bye to the nurses as he was being car
ried out of the hall to the elevator. and
thanked them for their kindness. He
did not talk during his trip to the car.
Senator Fairbanks, Governor Durbin
and other prominent citizens were at
the train to bid him goodbye.
The swelling of the presidents leg
which made an operation necessary was
occasioned by a bruise he received at
the time of the trolley car accident at
Pittsfield, Mass, when the president s
carriage was run into and demolished
by a car. Besides being injured in the
face and across the eye, the president
at that time received a blow upon the
inner part of the left leg between the
ankle and the knee, but he paid no at
bruise not worth talking about. For
several weeks he took no heed of it. but
finally it began to pain him so as to
enforce his attention. After starting on
his western trip he determined that-Dr.
Lung, who was aboard the train, should
examine it. The doctor did SD, and pro-
nounced 1t a serious matter. When in
Detroit the doctor finally declared that
something would have to be done. After
consulting with DR.. Richardson, another
member Of the party, it was decided
that in order to avoid the possibility OF
blood poisoning it probably would be
