NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE same OPP

statements regarding the condition OF

was shot on Tuesday by James J..
Gallagher. prevailed in the latest bull

ton of the physicians which lasted
half an hour, was followed BY the
above bulletin. issued at $3.50 a. m.
Dr. Artilz supplemented this official
announcement in a reply to question
as to the patients condition by say
ing:
He is doing fine"
Other informal statements bore out
the hopeful statements of the physi-
clans. Doubtless there still remains
an undercurrent of feeling that the
mayor is in greater danger than is
indicated in the Official bulletins from
the sick ROOM
Swelling Of Neck Decreases.
Robert Adamson, the mayors secre-
tary. early in the evening announced.
on the authority of DR.. Stewart, that
his chief was much better and added
that the swelling of the neck near the
wound. had decreased noticeably.
Comment was made TO both Mr..
Adamson and DR.. Stewart that the
tenor of all the bulletins was practical
.ly the same. whereupon DR.. Stewart
exclaimed: Yes. thank God, that is
so"
Another examination OF the mayor s
blood. made at p m. by DIR. George
+. Sullivan, showed no indication OF
Infection.
II was also stated by Mr.. Adamson
that the cough which has caused some
unessiness to the doctors, for fear that
Il might induce hemorrhsges, was bet

the day. however. that Mayor Gayrcr
was bothered by coughing spells.
Physicians Retire.
Quite settled down over the hospi-

USING COHN FOR FUEL IN 1886.
and the second is to lower his stand
ard OF living. The wage Garner, band
ed together with his fellows in I'M
hon, has been able to increase his
scale Of wages to some extent. though
not nearly enough to fill the gap be-
tween income and expenses. The wage
Garner who does not belong 10 IN
Ion has profted to some extent by the
general rise in wages, though DOT so
much as the union man.
The salaried man has borne the hard
est brunt of the rising prices. He be-
longs to no union, and his demands for
increased pay have brought little re
sponse.
All classes that are compelled to
work for a living have had to turn to
the other alternative in a greater or
less degree. They have been forced to
lower their standard of living. The
first item to be attacked is the food
supply. Russell Sage once said. LAS
the cost Of living increases the use of
meat decreases, the proportion of dark
rooms increases and child labor be-
comes plentiful" Less meat means
poorer nouriShment, less resistance to
disease and a higher death rate. Other
foods of cheaper quality are used
Oleomargarine takes the place of but
ter. Cold storage eggs are luxury
and fresh eggs unknown, and cheaper
brands of canned goods are used.
Aside from food, the big item Of ex
pense in the city is rent. In order tt
keep up with the increased cost o.
things property owners have been fore
ed to raise rents. The frenZied crOWG
Ing OF the people to the cities has en-
abled landlords to make these increas
ed rents effective. The result is tina
house with porch and bit Of lawr
has become a luxury, and more ant
more the middle classes, the classes OF
whom prosperity should react most IA
VOrably, have been forced into fat
and apartment houses. The pcofe
classes have moved into tenements
The high cost Of room has made crowd
Ing inevitable. Human beings hav
been forced to herd together like cat
tie or worse. The modern dairy bar
is a palace beside some Of the tene
ments that pass muster as human hal

Many causes have been advanced b.
economists and others to account TO
The rise in prices. Many blame tn
Tariff, but that will not explain VIII
prices are rising nearly as rapidly i
England as in the United States. In
economists favorite reason is in tn
Increase in the supply Of gold. None

therefore it takes more Of 1t to bu

during the Chicago hearing. On Sep.
TENDER Z n second session of national
interest during the Chicago hearing.
ON September a second session will
be held i'm New York, and other ses-
sion in Washington later.
The whole matter is the outcome OF
the attempted horizontal raise in rail-
road rates by the carriers and it is
with the intention of securing all pos
sible detail on both sides of the case
that the commission has taken up
the investigation. The most impor-
tant witness of the entire hearing was
President Il. p. Ripley of the Santa
Fee railroad His testimony i'm the in
terest of the carriers was that exist
ing freight rates were too low in pro-
portion to the advance i'm operating
expense and the necessity for more
capital to carry on the extensive inn
provements and operations.
