ALMKRON CHAPMAN, Emporium, Pa., DEAU Sin AND 880. -Your lettor of I the 26th, nit,, wuh indeed a pl«want surprise. It was pleasant to think thn.f from your boybcod you carried a reool lection of the somewhat transient ac quaintance I bad with your family. But I remember your folks very well, unci I think I can yet see the little old church ! on the hill side there at Pine street. I | remember an incident that I think was | connected with one of your brothers. I am not quite sure, but I think it was him. lie wanted to make a corner cupboard, and did not know exactly how to lay it out, or the proper pro portions for it, so he spoke to mo about it ono day, and I told iiim I could lay it off for him, which I did, and we both worked at it and finished it up all OK. I expect if that cupboard is in existence yet my name will bo found somewhere pencilled on it. I suppose as you say, I would hardly recognize the country now. I remember a placo I thinu just below Pine street where the creek veers to the south, and the road went over the neck of the ridge. I think an old Bro. Wiley, if I have the name right, lived on the farm between the road and the creek, on the bottom. Somehow 1 discovered cno day that the hills south of the creek there were so conformed that the voice waa echoed back very clearly to the road. I think I discovered it by ha. pening to bo sing ing as I passed along there. And after wards I seldom went past there without waking those echoes as I rodo by. I have a recollection of ii number of in. cidents of that year. One day in the fall as I was riding over the very rough road across the hills from Karthaus to the First Fork, all of a sudden my horse shied and almost threw me. In a mo ment I heard a growl and looking around as soon as I could control the horse, there close by the road in the laurel was a mother bear, wir.h two good sizsd cubs by her side. In the winter, crossing from the Ben net's branch to the river, up west of Cale donia, a snow storm came on. It was snowing before I started, but not fast, but it was over 20 miles without a house across the hills, and after I was on the road awhile it seemed as if the bottom fell out of the clouds. The snow got deep and drifted fast. My horse got wearied and could hardly go, and I thought I would hardly make it. But I came to a log cabiu where a settler had begun a clearing in the woods, and I was hardly ever so glad to s? j e a human habitation. I asked if I could have shelter, and the man said iff could put up with what they had I was welcome. So he cared for ray beast, and I stayed there about three days before venturing further, anc we lived on buckwheat cakes, pot a tea without salt, and some very rancid fat bacon. I have had it in mind some day to take a trip and visit some of those old scenes, but I cannot tell yet when. I was through there once on the cars in the 70's. It was moonlight and I went •in the platform at Emporium and rode that way to First Fork, but could see little then that I recognized. Are the Sizers, or any of the 013 peopla there yet ? There was old Brother Morrison :on the creek west of Portage. I used think much of them. Remember ; me to your folks and let me hear from , yen again. I suppose you remember Brothers Fulton and Pattison, who were with me that year on the work; both are dead. I met Pattison in Chicago at I the Oenerat Conference of 1868. He . then lived in Michigan, but wont to I Florida and died there. His wife was | a Miss Mead, who lived on Bennets j Branch. Yours, E. 11. WARING. Rev. Wilford P. Shriner, D. D.

Outtlde Wound Slightly lteopene' Y ; : . .t.v' •; •• - • ' , " I , V , t. ' • V Kr't-: »C LEON CZOLGOSZ. But they have gone a long way toward it individually and separately. Each of them, with the exception of Dr. Rixey, who did not leave the Mllburn residence yesterday, placed himself squarely on re eord. not privately, to the friends of the president, but publicly, through the agency of the press, that the danger point had parsed and that the president would survive the attempt upon his life. "Of course we will all feel easier when a week has pps-sed" said Dr. Mcßurney, the dean of the corps. "We would like to see every doer locked and double locked but the danger from possible com plications is now very remote." As 1111 evidence of the supreme faith he holds, Dr. Mcßurney after the morn ing consultation yesterday, made a trip to Niagara Falls. The little piece of lead in the muscles of the back is giving the physicians no concern whatever. Unless it should prove troublesome t-> the president later oil he probably will ca/rv this grim souvenir of the enurchist with him to the end of his days. The doctors say that once encysted it can do no harm. Thousands of men are today walking the earth in J perfect lit alth with much larger chunks !of lea l in their I od-es. The X-ray ma chine is ready for instant use, however, anil if there is t.'ie slightest inflammation or pain in the vicinity of the bullet, an operation will be performed. I'reslelou'V Itceuperatlvo Powers. | The president's physicians have been | impressed with his remarkable recuper } ative powers and the rapidity of his jm | provement. Ordinarily an incision for such an operation as was performed upon the chief executive should heal Within throe weeks but in the president's ease it may be .strong enough for hiui to be moved a little sooner. The president will be taken direct to Washington as soon as it is safo to move liini. Within the sick room many evidences of the president's improvement nre ap parent. The president himself began to show confidence in his ability to care for himself and from time to time he would carefully turn himself and gain a more restful position. Mnnday he took the precaution to ask if he might be permit ted to move, but now he changes his posi tion at his own volition, without diffi culty. The nurses naturally observe with care these evidences of growing strength and courage and are ready to see that "there is ho lindue tar on the president's strength or tho straining of the wound. These slight movements from side to side are all that he is at tempted thus far and it is too early yet to think of his sitting up in bed or any other marked use of his muscles. A most important development of tho day was a private determination reached among those in charge of the case that food should be administered to the presi dent today by the inouth. Not since the shooting has a morsel of food been given to the president by natural means, but the drain on his system has been met by dissolved foods administered by injec tion. There has been a period of four days of fasting from ordinary means of nourishment and today is the fifth day. The importance of this feeding by the mouth is that it will restore the normal action of the stomach for the first time siuce that organ had both its walls pierced by a bullet. The doctors •re sntified that the time has come to renew these normal functions, and the four days which have elapsed since the wounds in the stomach were closed give every assurance that the sutures are sufficiently healed to allow nature to re sume her sway. Although the house was fairly embow ered with flowers yesterday, sent as tok ens of sympathy and gratitude, none of the sweet scented blossoms were taken to the president's chamber. The most rigid system of simplicity prevails there and sentimenit is not allowed to qualify the stern requirements of the ease. The only persons admitted to the sick room other than the doctors and attendants are Mrs. McKinley and Secretary Cor telyou. Visitors Still Excluded. Although pronounced out of danger no member of the cabinet has yet been within the sickroom nor has the vice president or those closest to the con fidence of the president, such as Sena tor Hanna and Judge Day, seen the pres ident. Hiit these restrictions were es tablished by the doctors merely for the sake of encouraging every particle of energy in the patient, and relatives and friends alike accept the rigorous policy as decidedly for the best. Secretary Cor telyou sees the president much as the doctors and nurses do. There is never a breath of business, public or private, and ut no time lias there been the slight est reference to anything connected with the president's duties. Each succeeding bulletin leads to expressions of pleasure from those with in the household that the deliberations of so many eminent doctors have been marked by complete unanimity. There has been no division in the councils at any time. Em-h lias loyally seconded the efforts of the others and all have joined in carrying out the masterly work done by Dr. Mann immediately following the shooting. In referring to this one of the presi dent's associates who was present at the operation said Dr. Mann displayed his consummate skill and calmness by going about the operation as if the patient was a child with a slight complaint. And yet Dr. Mann has siuce told a friend that when he realized the duty before aim. although he had performed hundreds of operations of laporatomy, he would have sacrificed all he possessed to have escaped tho terrible responsibility of operating upon the president of the United States. ExoduH of Dignitaries. T'jc vie; pres'dent. members of the cabinet, Senator Ilanna and tho other distinguished frierds of the pres'.J >it who have r< mained here to await the issue, accepted tin; verdict of the phy sicians as practically conclusive and there was an exodus of those who con sidered their presence no longer neces sary. Senator Hanna returned to Cleve land on business, to be gone two days and Controller Dawes went back to Wash ington last night. Aimer McKinley, the president's brother, will remain a few days longer, but his family have returned home and Mrs. Duncan and several other relatives of the president have gone. Judge Day, long associated with the president, returned to Canton yes terday. The five members of the cabinet still here will remain a few days, rather as friends who have been intimately as sociated with the president for years than as public officials. Vice President Itoosevelt left the "Ity last night at 9:30 for Oyster Bay, per fectly confident that the president \Till recover. So confident was he, in fact, that when a question of doubt was put to him he answered it with a parry. He was asked: "Do you re member that President Garfield pro gressed for 10 days and then just when he was ready to get out he collapsed and finally died?" Quick as thought the vice president answered: "Ah, but you forget 20 years of modern surgery, of progress. From what ! can learn also th 6 Garfield wound was much more serious than the wound of President McKiuley. F believe that the president will recover and I hope it so thoroughly that I leave here tonight. Questioned as to the mode of pro cedure so far as lli stab was eoucerned he said: "I see no need for the calling of an extraordinary grand jury.

Thepliysicians found a slight irritation about the exterior wound, due to a foreign substance, and it was decided to remove that irritation. The doctors appeared at the house early in the evening at the time for the usual consultation, but it was nearly mid-night before the consulta tion was finished. Nothing was heard from the house until 6 a. m. Wednesday when the fol lowing bulletin was issued: "The President j asiod a yei*y com fortable night. Pulse, 120; tempera ture 100.2; respiration, 26." Drs. Rixley and Wasdin and Secre tary Cortelyou signed this bulletin. The irritation was not in any way the result even or a suggestion of blood poisoning, and the physicians declared over their own signatures that it could not result in complications. The open ing of the wound was in no sense an operation. Several of the stitches were simply taken out, and after a thorough antiseptic washing of the in flamed tissue, the wound was again sewed up.
