Negro Who Seized Czolgosz a Hero.
BuFraALo, N. Y., September 8.—‘‘Big
Jim?’ Parker, the burly negro who struck
the pistol from the hand of Czolgosz the
instant after the shooting, has been the
hero of the Exposition ever since, and
greater erowds flock to see him than even
the midway can attract.
Indeed, Jim has become so popular that
he hasn’t a button left on his coat and
vest, but he has plenty of money left in his
clothes. Relic hunters willingly gave him
from twenty-five cents to $25 a piece for
these souvenirs of the tragedy. As a fur-
ther step to frame, Jim has: now granted a
concession to an itinerant photographer to
take and sell his pictures.
Parker is a giant, six feet, six inches in
height, and weighing about 250 pounds,
He was born in Atlanta about thirty years
ago, but lived in New York until last
week, when he came here and got work as
a waiter in a Plaza restaurant. His right
name is James Benjamin Parker. This is
what he had to say :
“If it had not been for me that murderer
would have fired the rest of them three
shots from his pistol, and the President
would have been a dead one. ;
“I was in line waiting to shake hands
with the President, and when I left the
door that fellow crowded in front of me. I
tried to push him back, but he swore at
me in a low tone and kept on shoving.
**The President shook hands with a man
in front of this one and then reached out
his hand to him. Bang, bang, went a re-
volver. It was in the fellow’s right band
and he held it near his waist. He had his
hat in his left hand. .
‘Well, when I heard them shots I grab-
bed him and said : *‘You—you’ve shot the
President.” The hold I had on him made
him throw up his band with the revolver.
If it bad not been for that he would have
fired the other three shots.
*‘As soon as his hand went up Foster,
the secret service man, grabbed him. Then
an artilleryman caught hold of the pistol
and drew a big knife. I guess he thought
Foster was an Anarchist, for he went for
him." He looked more like one than the
other fellow, because he had on glasses and
a three days’ old beard.
*‘Just then a big, fat officer struck the
man that fired the shot a blow in the face.
It knocked us hoth down. The murderer
tried to get up, but I held him down by
that elbow clasp on his throat. ‘If he had
got up he would have escaped, because the
struggle was all about Foster, who kept
on shouting, “I ain’t the man who shot
the President, ‘“There he is over there.”’
“In spite of that, he got pummeled
something fierce by the artilleryman and
the goards. Then a couple of guards
struck my prisoner twice with their clubs.
The only time he spoke was when he said,
“I did my duty.
“Afterwards I helped to put him in the
carriage.’’

Pockets of President Contained Ordinary
Articles.
Dollar and Eighty Cents in Small Change, Three
Penknives, Three Ciyars, Silver Nugget, a Battered
Coin and an Old Wallet Containing Some Bank
Notes and Cards.
BurraLo, N. Y. Sept. 9.—When the
President’s clothes were removed at the
exposition hospital they were wrapped up
carefully and sent to the Milburn house by
one of the secret service men. The Presi-
dent’s pockets held much the same con-
tents as those of an ordinary citizen. In
his right haud trousers pocket was some
currency, $1.80 in all. Jingling with this
coin was a small silver nugget, well worn
a8 if the President had carried it for a
pocket piece for a long time. Three smail
pen knives, pearl handled were in the
pockets of his trousers. Evidently they
were gifts that he prized, and was_in the
habit of carrying all three of them, They
were simple knives, with no silver orna-
mentation, ingeriptions, «initials or, other
visible personal history. Another battered
coin, presumably a pocket piece, was in the
left hand pocket.
The President’s wallet, is a well worn,
black ‘one about four inches by five
aud a half inches in size. It was not mark.
ed with his name or other identification.
In this wallet were some bills . amonnting
to $45. A number of cards, which evident-
ly bad rested in the wallet for some time
were in one of the compartments. These
were not examined. Ina ves pocket was
a silver shell lead pencil. Three cigars
were also found. They were not the black
perfectos, which the President likes, but a
short size and were recognized as some that
had been given to him at. Niagara Falls
that day. On two of them he chewed
much as General Grant used a cigar. The
other he had not touched.
The President’s watch was an open-faced
gold case, American made time keeper.
Attached to it was the gold chain, which
the President always wore. No letters,
telegrams, or papers were found. There
was not on the President’s person a single
clue to hie identity, unless it was to be
found in the cards in his wallet. The
President’s shirt was cut where the sur-
geons had ripped it from him in hastily
preparing him for the operating table.

Much Better L
Doctors Declare President Out of Danger.—
Gains’ Steadily.—Another Day Without an
Unfavorable Report.—My. McKinley Himself
Thinks He is About Well and Wants to
Get Up.
BurraLo, September 10.—The corps of
eminent surgeons and physicians in attend-
ance upon the wounded President to-day
committed themselves without reservation
to the opinion that their patient was out
of danger and that only the possibility of
complications threatened hig life. hey
did not give assurance of his recovery col-
bulletin, but they went a long way toward
it individually and separately. During
the day. each of them, with the exception
of Dr. Rixey, who did not leave the Mil-
burn residence, placed himself squarely on
record, not privately to the friends of the
President, but publicly through the agency
of the press, that the danger point had
passed and that the President would sur-
vive the attempt upon his life.
**‘Of course we will all feel easier when a
week has passed,’ said Dr. McBurney, the
dean of the corps. ‘‘We would like to see
every door locked and double-locked. but
the danger from possible complications is
now very remote.’
As an evidence of the supreme faith he
holds, Dr. McBurney, after the consulta-
tion, made a trip to Niagara Falls and this
evening returned to New York. He could
reach here again in ten hours if the unex-
pected should happen and there should be
a change for the worse. The little piece of
lead in the muscles of the hack is giving
the physicians no concern whatever. Un-
less it should prove troublesome to the
President later on he will probably carry
his grim souvenir of the anarchist with him
to the end of his days.
The doctors say that once encysted it can
do no harm. The X-Ray machine is ready
for instant use, however, and if there is
the slightest inflammation or pain in the
vicinity of the bullet an operation will be
performed. :
The Vice President, members of the cab-
inet, Senator Hanna and the other dis-
tinguished friends of the President who
have remained here to await the issue, ac-
cepted the verdict of the physicians to-day
as practically conclusive, and there was an
exodus of those who considered their pres-
ence no longer necessary. Vice-President
Roosevelt left this evening for his home at
Oyster Bay. Senator Hanna returned to
Cleveland on business to be gone two days,
and Controller Dawes went back to Wash-
ington tonight. Abner McKinley, the
President’s brother, will remain afew days
longer, but his family have returned home,
and Mrs. Duncan and several other rela-
fives of the President, have gone.
Judge Day, long and closely associated
with the President, returned to Canton
this afternoon. . The five members of the
cabinet still here will remain herea few
days rather as friends who have been inti-
mately associated with the President for
several years than as public officials.
The physicians have been impressed
with his remarkable recuperative powers
and the rapidity of his improvement. Or-
dinarily an incisiob for such an operation
as was performed upon the chief executive
should heal within three weeks, but in the
President’s case he may be strong enough
to be moved a little sooner. The President
will be taken to Washington as soon as it
is safe to move him.
Within the sick room many evidences of
the President’s improvement were appar-
ent. The President himself began toshow
confidence in his ability to care for himself
from time to time he would carefully turn
himself and gain a more restfnl position.
‘Yesterday he took the precaution to” ask if
he might be permitted to move, byt to-day
he changed his position of his own vo-
lition without difficulty. The nurses nat-
urally observed with care these evidences
of growing strength and courage and were
ready to see that there were no undue tax
on the President’s strength or the strain-
ing of the wound. These slight moves
from side to side are all that he has at-
tempted thus far and it is too early yet to
be thinking of his sitting ap in bed.
A most important development of the
day was the determination reached amoung
those in charge of him, thas his food should
be administered by mouth. Not since
the shooting has a morsel of food been giv-
en to the President by natural means, but
the drain on his system has been met by
dissolved foods administered by injection.
This has been a period of four days of fast-
ing from ordinary means of nourishment,
and tomorrow will be the fifth day. The
importance of this feeding by the mouth is
that it will restore the normal action of
the stomach, first time since’ that organ
had hoth its walls pierced bya bullet.
The doctors are satisfied that the time has
come to renew these normal functions and
the four days which have elapsed since the
stomach has been closed give reassurance
that the sutures are sufficiently healed to
allow nature to resume her sway. Al-
though the house was fairly embowered
with flowers to-day, as tokens af sympa-
thy and gratitude, none of the sweet-scent-
ed blossoms were taken to the President’s
chamber. The most rigid system of sim-
plicity prevails there; sentiment is not al-
lowed to quality the stern requirements
of the case. The only persons admitted to
the sick room to-day, other than the doc-
tors and attendants, were Mrs. McKinley
and Secretary Cortelyou.
Although the President has been pro-
nounced out of danger no members of the
cabinet have been within the sick room, nor
has the Vice President or those closest to
the confidence of the President, such as
‘Senator Hanna and Judge Day, seen the
President. But these restrictions, estab-
lished by the doctors are merely for the
sake of encouraging every particle of ener-
gy-in the patient, and relativesand friends
alike accept the rigorous policy as decided-
ly for the best. :
There is never a breath of business, pub-
lic or private, and at no time has there
been the slightest reference to anything
connected with the President’s duties.
There has been no division in the councils
of the physicians at any time; each has
loyallylseconded the efforts of the others,and
all have joined in carrying out the master-
ly work. done by
following the shooting. In referring to
this to-day, one of the President’s assist-
ants, who was present at the operation said,
Dr. Mann displayed the consummate skill
and calmness in going about the operation
as if the patient werea child with a
slight complaint. And yet Dr. Mann has
since told 4 friend that when he realized
the duty before him, although he had per-
formed hundreds of operations of laborat-
omy, he would have sacrificed all he pos-
sessed to have escaped the responsibility of
operating upon the President of the
United States. The dramatic phase of
the situation here is rapidly disappearing.
Plans overthrown by the assassin’s’ bullet
being restored and “matters are assuming
normal conditions. Indiana day at the
Exposition set for Friday of this week was
indefinitely poned when the President
was shot, bub the original programme was
restored to-day at the suggestion of Sena-
tor Fairbanks, who says such a course
would not have been thought of were there
any doubt of the President’s recovery. The
Exposition has suffered severely in attend-
ance since the tradegy and the managers
are now organizing for a great thanksgiv-
ing'celebration which they expect not only
to prove a great card for the fair, but
which they ope will be made a day of
national rejoicing.

They Held a Long Consultation—President Allowed
Beef Juice.
MILBURN House, BUFFALO, Sept. 10—
It was 11:20 when the physicians emerged
from the house. They had been in con-
sultation an hour and fifty minutes and
announced to the waiting newspaper men
that the President's condition was un-
changed in every particular. The length
of the consultation had created some un-
easiness and this was somewhat increased,
when it was learned that Dr. McBurney,
who had intended toleave for Stockbridge,
Conn., at 11:20 had missed his train and
bad decided to remain over until to-mor-
row Bight: But the doctor, himself, did all
he could to dispel the idea that the change
in his plans portended anything serious.
In fact he took occasion to announce as an
additional evidence of the improvement of
the patient that it had been decided to
begin to give the President nourishment
through the mouth to-night instead of
waiting until to-morrow as had been in-
tended. Beef extract had been preferred,
Dr. McBurney announced, and it was being
administered as the physicians left. Other
physicians who listened to Dr. McBurney's
statement assented to it and then all en-
tered an automobile and were whisked
away. Immediately afterward a storm
which had been gathering broke and for a
few minutes the rain came down in tor-
rents.
MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFALO, Sept. 10—
The following bulletin was issued by the
President’s physicians at 10:30 p- m.: ;
The condition of the President is un-
changed. His temperature is 100.6, pulse
114, respiration 28. :
When the operation° was done on Friday
last it was noticed that the bullet had car-
ried with it a short distance beneath the
skin a fragment of the President's coat.
This foreign matter was of course removed,
but a slight irritation of the skin was pro-
duced, the evidence of which appeared on-
ly to-day. It has heen necessary on ac-
count of this slight disturbance to remove
a few stitches and partially open the skin
wound. This incident cannot give rise to
other complications, but it is communicated
to the public, as the physicians wish to
make their reports correct.
The President is now well enough to
begin to take nourishment by the mouth
in the form of pure beef juice.

The President’s Condition is Satisfactory.
Holes in the Stomach Are Considered Healed Because
Beef Juice is Readily Digested. Patient in Fine
Spirits.
BUFFALO, Sept., 11.—The condition of
; the President. .consinned.fayorahle, through-
out the day an@”® ing red to shake
the faith the attending physicians and sur-
eous have expressed. that he will: recover.
‘The danger from two sources was pronounc-
ed practically over to-day.
the stomach proper, caused by the perfora-
tion of the bullet are now considered heal-
ed by Dr. McBurney and his associates, and
the eminent surgeon pointed tothe fact
that beef juice fed to the patient last night
was readily digested, as proof of this. Suf-
ficient time has also elapsed to warrant the
doctors in asserting that the inflammation
where the bullet lodged has disap eared.
It is. believed that the ball has Da
encysted in the muscles of the back, and
unless its location should prove trouble-
some later on there will never be any nec-
essity for removing it. Dr. Mann, in
speaking in regard to this today, said he
knew aman whe lived for years with a
bullet in the muscles of his heart.
The attention of the physicians is ‘now
therefore, mainly directed to the care and
treatment of the wound caused by the in-
cision made in the abdomen above the na.
val when. the operation was performed,
This wound is progressing satisfactorily.
The President now breathes deeply and
normally, and the addition of the respira:
tion record to the bulletin was considered
valueless. The President's pulse was
slightly accelerated in.the afternoon, but
‘the ‘change was not deemed material and
‘his temperature remained’ practically sta-
tionary at 100.2 from daylight until dark.
The evidences of improvement were the
- President’s keen relish of the beef juice
given him dering the night and the in-
crease of his allowance from one to three
teaspoonfuls, and also the fact that the
wound is becoming ‘‘more healthy.’ :
Dr. McBurney expected this afternoon:
that the slight irritation of the wound still
remaining would pass away within the
next twenty four hours. 4
The President continues in excellent:
spirits, but he confessed to one of the: at-'
tendants to-day that he was getting lone-.
some. He requested that he be placed in
another bed. A depression had formed in
the matress on which he has lain since he
was taken to the Milbarn house and had
caused much discomfort. Another hed
was provided and this evening he was care-
fully moved from one to the other withont
difficulty. He has asked several times if
there was any news he should know, but
are discouraged and the rigid inhibition
against the admission of any .one except
his wife and faithful secretary ‘has not been
relaxed. Iti now virtually decided that
no attempt will be made to remove the
President to Washington until he bas com-
pletely recovered and in a Jaueral way it
can be said that there is no likelihood that
this will be until October. The physicians
are all agreed that no attempt should be
made to take the President to Washington
while the probability of an oppressive hot
spell in the Capitol city remained.’
After this afternoon’s bulletin, Secretary
Hay announced that he felt warranted in
leaving for Washington, and he left to-
night for the capitol.
LATEST BULLETIN OF THE DOCTORS.
BUFFALO, September 11.—Tne follow-
ing bulletin was issued by the President’s
physicians at 10 p. m.
The President’s condition continues fa-
vorable. Blood count corroborates clinical
evidence of ahsence of any blood poisoning.
He is able to take more nourishment and

Mrs. Hammon Sechler, who has
been summering at Ocean Grove for her
health, had a very narrow escape when the
Sheldon house, at which she was stopping,
burned down last week. The season being
over, many of the guests had gone and the
house was almost deserted. Mrs. Sechler
was awakened by an unusual noise and on
going out to find the causesoon discovered
it was fire. She quickly dressed, got her
belongings into her trunk and succeeded
in getting out into the street, where she
was no to arouse the guests or be concern-
ed about their safety and that she escaped
as she did is due mainly to a level head
and prompt action.

THE VETERANS AT PINE GROVE.—On
Saturday the veterans of the G. A. R. held
their annual reunion at Pine Grove Mills
aud they were favored with an ideal Sep-
tember day for the occasion. The attend-
ance was all that could he desired and
many visitors were present from Mifflin,
Huntingdon and Blair counties. Pine
Grove was fairly brimming over with
hospitality and generosity and most of the
homes and buildings in the town were
decorated with flags and bunting. In fact
the affair was a great success and quite a
credit to that pretty little town which
would cheerfully attempt to provigion the
entire county for a day if it would assem-
ble there.
The president of the association, Judge
James A. Beaver, presided during the day
and his annual address would have been
incorporated in this were it not for lack
of space. The other orators of the day
Harpster, D. D., D. F. Fortney, Senator
W. C. Heinle, John Daley and Rev. C. T.
the ensuing year reported the following :
Gen. Beaver, president; W. H. Fry and
W. C, Patterson, vice presidents; George +
M. Boal, treasurer; W. H. Musser, secre-
Resolutions of thanks were passed for Sen-
ator Heinle and Governor Stone for their
assistance in securing the appropriation of
$10,000 for the monument fand.
Jaties Harris, the treasurer for the Cur-
tin Memorial and Soldiers monument fund,
reported the following:
Making in all a total of $6,210.67 which
with the $10,000 that was appropriated by
the State and the $5,000 which the county
will contribute will aggregate $21,210.00.

KILLED IN WEST VIRGINIA.—M. B.
Stover, who was born at Unionville, this
county, was killed on the B. & O., near
Wheeling, W. Va., early Monday morn-
ing. The telegraphic report ‘of the acci-
dent is as follows :
Wheeling. W. Va., Sept.—Baltimore &
Ohio passenger train No. 5 was derailed west
of the Glovers gap tunnel, shortly after 9
o’clock this morning, engineer M. B. Stover,
of McMechen, W. Va., was instantly killed;
fireman G. W. Marlowe, of Benwood, W.
Va., sustained fatal injuries and died within
a few hours; baggagemaster W. F. Riley and
tal clerk E. L. Ross, were slightly in-
ured.
The train was going west at a high rate of
speed when the accident occurred. The
exact cause is not known, but itic thought
the engine trucks jumped’ the track. The
engine was over-turned and the baggage car
along the ties, but were not telescoped.
Stover was {aught under the engine and
the flesh upon his body was literally burned
to a crisp. He was dead when he was taken
out.
Marlowe was pinned under the wreck but
ngers on the train succeeded in getting
im out before the flames reached him. ;
The burning engine ignited the cars in the
rear and the three Passenger coaches were
entirely consumed. They were all well filled
and the escape of the passengers from serious
injury or death is considered remarkable.
Some of the passengers were cut by broken
glass, and others were bruised, but all got out
of the cars without assistance. Baggage-
master Riley worked about the wreck in
spite of his injuries and is in a more serious
condition from the shock and strain -upen
his nerves than from any actual wounds.
Engineer Stover was the eldest son of the
late William and Sophia Stover, of Union-
ville. He was born and raised in that
place and early in life went to railroading;
having run on the Bald Eagle valley for a
number of years. Later he went out to
the western part of the State and entered
the service of the B. & O. Surviving him
are his mother and the following brothers
and sisters: Mrs. Fall Stover, of Belle-
fonte; Mrs. Maria Frink, of Tyrone; John
Oscar, of Potters Mills; Mrs. Soott Bricker,
of Boalsburg; A. G. Curtin Stover, of St.
Paul, Minn., and Susan, at home.
His body will be buried at his late home
at McMechen.

A Home in the South.
Escape the rigors of another Northern ‘winter
and enjoy the delights of the Southland.
Nowhere can be fonnd a more delightful cli-
mate than in our own Southland. Its Winters are
mild and balmy and in most cases Summer does
not bring with it such extremes of heat as are to
| be found elsewhere. In faet, the South is a land
whiere extremes of climate are avoided; and con-
sequently, 8a healthfl and altogether desirable
location. ww BART HR ’
- The tide of emigration has turned Southward,
“for it is not “alotie in climate advantages that
this favored land excels, but its resources, the
fertility of its soil and its mineral wealth and its
abundant water power commend it to the thought
ful consideration of any one who seeks a home
where northern thrift and enterprise may carve
out success. i? ;
The Seaboard Air Line Railway, in order to
stimulate investigation and to assist in opening
up the fine territory traversed by its lines, an-
nounces that it will sell to prospectors and set-
tlers’ tickets one way or round trip at greatly
reduced rates, information as to which may be
obtained of any agent or representative of the
Company. :
