THE CHILD ETERNAL.
I heard their prayers and kissed their sleepy
eyes,
And tucked them in all warm from feet to
head,
To wake again with morning's glad sunrise—
Then came where he lay dead.
On cold, still mouth I laid my lips. Asleep
He lay, to wake the other side God's door,
My other children, mine to love and keep,
But this one mine nc more.
Those other children long to men have grown,
Strange hurried men, who give me passing
thought,
Then go their ways. No longer now my own,
Without me they have wrought,
So when night comes, and seeking mother’s knee,
Tired childish feet turn home at eventide,
1 fold him close—the child's that’s left to me,
My little lad who died.

Their Official Report.
Statement of those Who Attended President Mc-
Kinley—Operation Prosecuted in Searching for the
Bullet Minutely Described—Many Disadvantages
Presented Themselves—The Bullets Were Not
Poisoned.
The New York Medical Journal contained
the full official report of the surgeons who
attended the late President, William Mec-
Kinley, in Buffalo. The report contains
upwards of 15,000 words and constitutes
the official record of the case. The report
is signed by Drs. P. M. Rixey, Matthew
D. Mann, Herman Mynuter, Roswell Park,
Eugene Wasdin, Charles McBurney, and
Charles G. Stockton, as members of the
medical staff attending the late President.
The report of the autopsy is signed by Dr.
Harvey R. Gaylor, pathologist to the New
York State Pathological laboratory, while
the report on the bacteriological examina-
tion bears the signature of Dr. Herman G.
Matzinger, bacteriologist to the New York
State Pathological laboratory.
The important feature of the report in
the New York Medical Journal is the em-
phasis with which Dr. Matthew Mann,
speaking for his colleagues, declares that
there ‘‘never, under like circumstances,
wae a more harmonious and better agreed
band of consultants,’ and setting aside the
rumors of disagreement among the attend-
ing physicians and surgeons.
The report describes in detail the events
immediately following the shooting, which
are already familiar to the public. Then
follows a description of the operation in:
all its technical minutia. The utmost care
was used to prevent infection of the abdom-
inal cavity, and of the wound, by the most
approved modern methods of surgical
cleanliness. The wounds in the stomach
were sutured with silk, using double rows
of stiches so arranged that the greatest pos-
sible security was given to the sutured
spots. The application of these stitches
was accompanied by great difficulties, es-
pecially the suturing of the opening in the
posterior wall of the stomach. The chief
trouble was the depth of the abdominal
cavity, the lack of instruments to draw the
edges of the wound apart during the sew-
ing, and the lack of good light. In his
comments on the report of the operation,
Dr.Maun particularly emphasizes the disad-
vantage under which he labored when su-
turing the wounds in the stomach, with the
failing light of a September afternoon.
Later on in the operation a moveable elec-
trio light was used with advantage. Speak- |
ing of the search for the bullet during the
operation the report says :
‘*The operation on the stomach now be-
iug finished, Dr. Maun introduced his arm
so as to palp carefally all the deep
structures behind the stomach. No trace
of the bullet, or of the further track of the
bullet could be found. As the introdue-
tion of the hand in this way seemed to have
a bad inflaence on the President’s pulse,
prolonged search for further injury done by
the bullet, or for the bullet itself, was de-
sisted from.
Farther search might have caused death
of the patient upon the operating table.
At the close of the operation, the surgeons
present unanimously assured Dr. Mann in
answer to his questions that they were per-
feotly satisfied that everything possible
was done and they bad no further sugges-
tions to make. It was also decided not to
introduce any gauze or tubes into the ab-
domen for drainage, as this was not neces-
sary, hut the wound was not sewed up so
tightly that no drainage could take place
naturally.
The report then continues in the history
of the case after the operation. The prog-
ress of the illness as given day by day and
the bulletins as given out by the attending
physicians are incorporated in the report.
On the fifth day, September 10th, took
place the much discussed removal of the
stitches from the wound in the abdominal
wall. The report says :
“In the evening dressings were examined,
and as there was considerable staining from
the discharges it was thought best to .re-
move four stitches and to separate the
edges of the wound. A little slough was
observed near the bullet track, covering a
space nearly an inch wide, the thickness of
the flaps. The supperation seemed to ex-
tend down to the muscle.” :
The remainder of the wound looked
healthy, and it was thought that the infec-
tion was due to the bullet or a piece of
clothing which had been carried into the
wound at the time of the shooting. The
wound was then dressed and on the follow-
ing day the patient’s condition was ver
much improved. The findings at the au-
topsy as well as the developments of the
cas? during the last days exclude all possi-
bility of absolute injury to the stomach by
premature giving of solid ‘ood as was al-
leged at the time when unfavorable symp-
toms came on after a change to solid diet.
On the fifth day the President sipped hot
water ; on the sixth he had beef juice, the
first food taken by mouth since the opera-
tion. [In the meantime nutritive enemas
were continued, but were not well retain-
ed. At 8.30 in the morning of the seventh
day he was allowed chicken broth, a very
small piece of toast and a small cup of cof-
fee. He did not care for the toast and ate
scarcely any of it. The wound bad in the
meanwhile been doing very well and had
been dressed daily after the removal of the
stitches and the sloughing tissue. The
President seemed at his hest and a favorable
result was now confidently predicted.
There was no sign of blood poisoning or of
inflammation of the peritonitum. The on-
ly. alavming symptom was his rapid pulse,
hut as the President had naturally a rather
rapid pulse and as it had been of fairly good
quality right along, the surgeons did not
- attribute very great importance to this
sigu. On the seventh day, towards noon,
the pulse began to grow weaker and grew
rapidly worse. Stimulants were given and
the food was discontinued, while castor oil
and an enema of ox gall were employed to
a
~~
move the bowels. At midnight there was
some improvement in the pulse, and after
an injection into the subcutaneous tissues.
On the eighth day the condition of the
President was described as very serious as
he did not respond to stimulation. Stimu-
lants and injections of salt solution, coffee
and broth were given, but without much
effect.
Then the oxygen was given and contin-
ued for some hours. At 6:30 the Presi-
dent was restless, and at 10 p. m. he lost
consciousness and continued to sink until
he died, at 2:15 a. m. on September 14th.
In speaking of the criticisms that Roent-
gen rays should have heen used to locate
the bullet, Dr. Mann says in his report :
“We were often asked why, after the op-
eration, we did not use the X ray to find
the bullet. In the first place there were at
no time any signs that the bullet was doing
harm. To have used the X-ray simply to
have satisfied the curiosity would not have
been warrantable, as it wonld have greatly
disturbed and annoyed the patient and
would have subjected him also to a certain
risk. Had there been signs of abscess for-
mation then the X-ray could and would
have been used.” ;
Dr. Gaylord’s report of the autopsy 1s
lengthy and detailed. Nothing of im-
portance was noticed about the wound on
the chest caused by the first shot, except
that the area of skin affected was found to
be discolored.greenish yellow and mottled,
and that there was a hemorrhage into the
fat under the skin beneath this area. The
abdominal wound showed no evidence of
necrosis or sloughing. No inflammation of
the peritonitum was found. The wound in
the front wall of the stomach was found
“held intact by silk sutures’’ but the area
of the stomach wall around it was discolor-
ed, grayish green and easily torn. The area
around the wound on the posterior wall of
the stomach was also of a dull gray color,
but the sutures held the wound intact.
Behind the latter wound there was a spot
of discoloration, which showed that the
sloughing process had gone backwards in
the track of the bullet. The gangrenous
cavity behind the stomach involved the
pancreas and the surrounding loose tissues,
the bottom of the blind pocket being
formed by the upper end of the left kidney
which was found to be lacerated at that
point to the extent of about two centi-
metres. :
“The track of the bullet was then traced
through gangrenous tissue in the fat be-
hind the kidney to the muscles of the back
wall of the abdomen. The direction of the
bullet, however, could not he traced any
further. The search for the bullet was
most thorough and painstaking, but in
spite of all efforts it could not be found,
and the antopsy had to be discontinued he-
cause the time allotted to it by the family
of the late President had already been ex-
ceeded.
Dr. Gaylords adds :
“As we were satisfied that nothing could
be gained by locating the buliet, which
had set up no. reaction, search for it was
discontinued.’’
Examination of the heart muscle showed
that it was affected with well marked fatty
degeneration and in some places the mus-
cle fibres showed groups of dark brown
granules, demonstrating a diseased condi-
tion of the cardiac muscle.
Dr. Gaylord believes that the repair to
the stomach wound had been affective and
that the gangrene around these wounds
does not seem to have been the result of
any well defined cause. He attributes the
gangrenous condition of the tissues solely
to lowered vitality in the parts. The ap-
pearance of the gangrenous tissues shows
that the gangrene took place shortly before
death.
‘The report of the bacteriologist is Targely
what the doctors call negative, i. e., that
it concerns rather the absence of germs
than their presence.
A culture taken from the wound during
life showed several varieties of germs; but
such a showing is rather expected in such
cases. There were present two of the or-
dinary germs of supperation and one was
forming germ of unknown identity. As
the result of an examination of various tis-
sues and fluids removed postmortem in
very small supplies, Dr. Matsinger con-
cludes that ‘‘the absence of known patho-
genic bacteria, particular in the gangrenous
cavity, warrants the conclusion that bac-
teria infection was not a factor in the pro-
duction of the condition found in the an-
topsy.’’ :
A chemical analysis by Dr. Hill of the
remuaining bullets and contents of the cart-
ridge chambers in the murderer’s pistol
showed that there was no poisonous matter,
thus disposing of the theory of a poisoned
bullet. £

Horribly Tortured by Masked Men.
Twos masked men entered the home of
Mis. Catharine Reed, who resides alone on
her farm between DuBois and Brockway-
ville Friday night, and abused her in a ter-
rible manuer in an effort to make her dis-
close the whereabouts of her money. The

of the fiends for three hours and then be-
came insensible. The robbers then ran-
sacked the house from top to bottom,
smashing pictures, breaking furniture and
tearing up carpets. They secured $50 in
money and took Mrs. Reed’s bank and
check hook. Neighbors found the woman
in the morning bound hand and foot and
gagged. Her condition is critical.

Chester Girl Died of Lockjaw.
Hattie Winn, a 13 year old girl, who
made her home with the family of Moses
Keen, in Chester city, died Saturday after-
noon from lockjaw. A few days ago 08
stepped on a nail. Symptoms of the dis-
ease developed the following day and she
gradually grew worse until she died.
Where is Capt. Sverdrup ?
The friends of Capt. Otto Sverdrup are
beginning to wonder what has become of
him and the expedition which he took to
west Greenland in the summer of 1898.
Nothing bas been heard from the party for
two years. Its base of operations was
Smith Sound where Peary has had his head-
quarter for three year past. The expedi-
tion spent a year in Peary’s neighborhood
having failed, on account of the ice, to get
north through the Smith Sound channel.
The vessels that have recently returned
with news of Peary’s brilliant success in
last year’s work, report that nothing has
heen seen or heard of Sverdrup.
Sverdrup was the captain of the Fram on
Nansen’s great voyage in Arctic waters
north of Earopeand Asia. He brought the
Fram safely back to Europe. On June 24,
1898, Sverdrup sailed from Christiania,
Norway, on the Fram with fifteen men for
northwest Greenland. The principal pur-
pose of the expedition was to explore and
map the northern coastline of Greenland
and to make an attempt to connect Cape
Washington, the most portherly point
known in the west coast with Independence
Bay, discovered by Peary on the east coast.
This is the very work that Peary so suc-
cessfully accomplished last year. Mean-
while Sverdrop has mysteriously disap-
peard from view.
He could not possibly have passed into
the Artic Ocean through Smith Sound for
Peary would have known of any advance
in that direction. He did not return to
south Greenland. As he went neither
north nor south and the Greenland main-
land lies to the east thereis no doubt that
he turned the prow of the Fram to the
west. He undoubtedly passed either
through Jones Sound or Lancaster Sound
to the channels along the islands of the
Parry archipelago, the most northern of the
American mainland. Jones Sound was the
preferable route if it was not ice choked,
because it is the nearest to the explored:
west coast of Ellesmere Land and to the
unknown waters north of the Parry islands.
Reports from Norway speak of the prob-
ability that Sverdrup gave up his original
purpose and improved the opportunity
which open water may have offered to
strike out directly toward the Pole. This
is pure speculation of the sort that is al-
ways evoked by Artic mysteries. It is more
probable that his vessel is frozen up in one
of the narrow channels among the Parry
Islands; but there is no reason yet to infer
either that he has found the Pole or is im-
prisoned in the ice. If he hassed through
Jones Sound he was on the threshold of
the unknown. A large field for pioneer re-
search was before him. If all has gone
well with Sverdrup and the Fram, the
most likely supposition is that he has heen
busy locking for new lands immediately to
the north of the Perry Islands. It would
be glory enough for Sverdrup or any other
man if he should succeed in adding that
portion of the Artic waters to the mapped
regions of the world. .
It is natural of course, that the European
promoters of his expedition should begin to
feel somewhat solicitous for the safety of
the party. According to the official state-
ment of Sverdrup’s plans, as published in
the Geographical Journal, the party was
expected to be absent only from two to.|
three vears. It was estimated that the
supplies taken would last for four years. | °
Over two years have elapsed and news must
bé received by next summer or there will
be good ground. to feanthat. disaster has
overtaken the explorers.
facts in the situation are that Sverdrup is
an Artic sailor of great experience and
ability and commands one of the stanchest
vessels ever built for polar navigation.
Prisoner Three Nights in Well.
Rescuers Tried to Dig Him Out, But Had to Desist.
After being imprisoned for two days and
three nights in a well 30 feet deep and cov-
ered with five foot of earth, A. C. Conway
has been rescued alive at Corning, Ia. No
bones are broken. but the victim is by rea-
son of cramp and exposure, a physical
wreck.
The curbing of the well gave way in such
a manner as to protect the imprisoned man
from bei g crusbed. An opening for air
was immediately forced by rescuers. A
second well was sunk nearby, and an effort
was made to tunnel through to him, but
the earth cave in.
A rope with a noose at the end was drop-
ped to Conway; he slipped it under his
arms and was pulled up through the earth
and hoards that constituted his prision.
Lett Sweetheart $100,000.
Relatives of Miss McKeown Are Contesting Her Wiil
“‘All I possess in the world, of real, per-
sonal and mixed property, I hereby bhe-
queath and devise to him whom I most
love in it.”
This is the will of Miss Mary McKeown,
who left $100,000 to her sweetheart, Joseph
Edward Murray, a lawyer, of Philadelphia.
The relatives, aunts and cousins are con-
testing the girl’s testament, claiming that
she was unduly influenced by Murray.
Miss McKeown inherited the fortune
from her father. She was taken ill in the
spring of 1899 in Philadelphia and was con-
ducted by Murray to a hotel at Lake
Saranac, N. Y., where she died. The rela-
tives claim that efforts to see or communi-
cate with Miss McKeown were prevented
by Muiray.
Taking Her Due.
A Glasgow M. P. (says the Liverpool
Post) is telling a story which is not too flat-
tering to himself. Dissatisfied with the
work of his cook he summoned her before
him one day, and complained of a chicken
being burnt. After lecturing her upon
carelessness he said that the price of the
bird would, as a lesson, he deducted from
her wages. ‘‘Then,”’ said the cook, ‘‘that
fowl’s mine,’’ and she grabbed the chicken
and retreated with it to the kitchen.

Graves of Our Presidents.
Where the Chief Executives of Our Country are
Buried.
The depositing of Abraham Lincoln’s
remains in what is intended after twelve
previous removals, to be their final resting
place, at Springfield, Il1., occurring so soon
after the funeral of William MeKinley,
recalls the fact that all our departed
Presidents are buried at the places which
were homes to them while they lived.
It was at one time proposed that George
Washington’s body should rest forever
within the national capitol, and the capi-
tol guides made a point of showing visitors
the crypt which was prepared to receive it.
But the father of his country was buried at
Mount Vernon, Va., while John Adams
and his son, John Qunicy Adams, sleep in
the little Unitarian churchyard Quincy,
Mass. ; Thomas Jefferson on his own estate
at Monticello, Va.; James Madison at
Montpelier, Va., and James Monroe, at
Richmond in the same state. Counting in
John Tyler, whose grave is also in Rich-
mond, Virginia holds the dust of five pres-
idents, who, together were at the head of
the government for nearly thirty-six years
almost one-third of the time since it was
established.
New York, until Mr McKinley’s burial,
stood next to Virginia in the number of her
presidents’ graves,of which she holds four.
Martin Van Buren sleeps at Kinderhook on
the Hudson, where he was born; Millard
Fillmore at Buffalo, where he died in 1874,
having lived for twenty one years after his
retirement from the presidency, while
Ulysses S. Grant rests in the most imposing
of all our presidential tombs, at Riverside
park, and Chester A. Arthur ina very
modest one at Albany.
William Henry Harrison, Rutherford B.
Hayes, James A Garfield and William
McKinley all have graves in Ohio—the
first named at North Bend, the second at
Columbus, the third at Cleveland and the
fourth at Canton. Jackson, Poli and
Johnson are buried in Tennessee—, Old
Hickory’’ at Nashville, in the little family
graveyard near the Hermitage; Polk in the
same city, and Johnson at Greenville. The
rool call of president’s graves is completed
by saying that Franklin Pierce rests among
his fellow towns-men at Concord, N. H.;
Zachary Taylor sleeps at Louisville, Ky’;
James Buchanan in Lancaster, Pa.;
Abrabam Lincoln at Springfield, IH., and
Benjamin Harrison at Indianapolis, Ind.
