AS the presi- dent passed through the door, he was approached by woman who appar- ently had been waiting for him, and but for the intervention of the secret service men who preceded the president, he probably would have been assassinated. The wo- man was armed with a long knife which she had concealed in the folds of her dress.
 The only explanation offered by the would-be assassin, whose name is Mrs. Caroline Beers, is that the President had offended her by pay ing too much attention to other women. She claims that she is his wife, and has been neglected.

The president proceeded quietly to one of the tables, and ate his breakfast as if attempts on his life were of secondary co2sider-
