S.-Thc Express to-morrow will say regarding" the first operation performs on the President: "The operation performed at the emergency hospital left no need for a second operation to follow it almost immediately. The full details of the operation heretofore have not been known. It was performed by Dr. Matthew D. Mann. Ilia first assistant was Dr. Herman Mynter. His second assistant was Dr. John Parmenter. His third assistant was Dr. Lee. of St. Louis, who happened to be on the exposition grounds at the time of the tragedy and placed his services at the disposal of the President. Dr. Nelson W. Wilson noted the time of the operation and took the notes. Dr. Eugeno tVasdin. of the Marine Hospital, gave the anesthetic. Dr. Rixey arrived at the latter part of the operation and held the light. Dr. Park arrived at the close of the operation. It was Dr. Mann who wieltled the knife. "The operation lasted almost an hour. A cut about five Inches long was made. It was found necessary to turn up tho stomach of the President In order to trace the course of the bullet. The bullet's opening In the front vrall of the stomach was small, nd It was carefully closed with sutures, fter which a search was made for the hole In the back wall of the stomach. This hole where the bullet went out of the stomach was larger than the hoi In the front wall of the stomach, in fact, it was a wound over an Inch in diameter, jagged and ragged. It was sewed up in three layers. This wound was larger than the wound where the bullet entered the stomach because the bullet, in its course, forced tissues through ahead of iL. "In turning up the stomach, an act that was absolutely necessary, and was performed by Dr. Mann with rare skill, the danger was that some of the contents of the stomach might go into the abdominal cavity and a3 a result cause peritonitis. It so happened that there was very little in the President's stomach at the time of the operation. Moreover, subsequent deWi&pi2itr.ts ten! to show that this feature of the operation was grandly successful and that none of the contents of the stomach entered the abdominal cavity. If any of the contents had entered the cavity the probability is that before now peritonitis would have set in. "In thl3 connection it is of Interest that some experienced surgeons do not mind the temperature at all In noting the bulletins of the President's condition, but so long as the pulse Is in the proper relation to the temperature In a tig operation like this, it is very common for the temperature to remain around 102 or even 103. But if the temperature had dropped and the pulse had accelerated, it would have been a danger signal of pertonitis setting in. It Is of interest also to know that after an operation of this kind, the compressive action in the abdominal cavity ceases or becomes retrograde. After the operation, as soon as the patient passes anything, even gas, through the rectum, it Is a sign that peristaltic action has recommenced normally and that the danger of peritonitis was practically over. After an operation nich as was performed on the President the surgeons wish to know at once, even when gas Is passed, for they take it then that the patient is comparatively safe from peritonitis. The point of importance in connection with these facts is that the President yesterday passed gas and later there was a further movement. Coupling this fact with the bulletins issued by the surgeons, the basis for hope it seems stronger." OBITUARY. Dr. Johannes Von Mlqnel, Former Prussian .Minister of l'innnce. VKANKFORT-ON-MAIX. Sept. S. Dr. Johannes Von Miquc-J. former Prussian minister of finance, was found dead in bed here this morning. Apoplexy is believed to have been the cause of death. Dr. Von Miguel was out walking Saturday snd spent the afternoon reading. Hp retired at midnight. He had not been feeling well all day. His daughter went to hts bedroom this morning and found her father dead. A physician who was summoned certified that death was the result of apoplexy.

Through all his career he was the bitter enemy of American agricultural products. Michael Morris, Mfc Peer. LONDON. Sept. -Michael Morri, firt E.Mon Morris ard Kill min, is dead.

Herman O. Armonr. SARATOGA. N. Y., Sept. S. Herman O. Armour, of New York, died suddenly of fipoplexy to-day at his summer cottage here. Mr. Armour, who had been in comparatively frail health for some time, was able to ride out once or twice a day, and appeared to be gaining strength. This forenoon, accompanied by a coachman, he took his regular drive, and on his return, said he felt much refreshed. Soon afterward he was seated en the porch of hi? cottage conversing with friends. Suddenly he ceased talking and immediately expired.' FOREST FIRES RAGING. Lnrp District. In oti Scolln Swept Iiy the Flame. ST. JOHNS. N. S.. Sept.

GATHER IX THE FOREST CITY. nrnl Forces In the Ilnrbor Meeting of Sympathy for the President May Be Hld on Thursday. CLEVELAND. Sept. 8. To-night the city of Cleveland is in the hands of the veteran soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic. The land and naval forces have taken possession of the Forest City, and its streets are thronged with members and delegates and visiting strangers. In the harbor off the city lies the training ship Yanlic, of the Michigan Naval Reserves, and the United States corvette Michigan, together with the Hawk, the training ship of the Cleveland reserves. With this fleet guarding the harbor and the city already well garrisoned with thousands of veteran members, the thlrt$'-fifth annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic has already begun. As early as 10 o'clock Sunday morning the first delegation was welcomed at the gates of the city and ushered to its quarters in the down-town district. Before nocn a number of posts already had been assigned to quarters prepared for them, and since that time every hour has brought a steady influx of delegates, members and visiting strangers. The greatest Interest still centers on the condition of the President, but the encouraging bulletins of the evening here had a decided effect in lightening the spirits of the thousands who parade the streets and crowd in public centers. The plans of the executive committee will be carried out according to the original programme, with a possible exception for Thursday, the dayfollowing the grand parade. The executive committee has requested Senator Hanna and Colonel llerrick jointly to invite Vice President Roosevelt, and as many of the members o Ihe Cabinet as may be available, to visit the encampment Thursday, when it is proposed to hold a mass meeting and grand good-will gathering at Central Armory for the purpose of extending the sympathy of the Nation and of the Grand Army to the President. CO!CERMG MELONS. Their Deceptive Qualities Cnn.ic Sndnenn to Purchaser. Hartford Courant. It sometimes seems that this era of mechanical devices, of inspired machinery, has little left to accomplish, that automatic service has rescued us from every possibility of error save that incident to machinery itself - and that chemical tests are leaving Nature none of her secrets. But there are some things still left a pray to carking doubt: some remainders of the incurable fallibility of man; some secrets that elude analysis. We speak particularly of melons. What we want is a perfectly incorruptible test to decide whether a citron melon is a good one or not. To be sure, it is ancient wisdom that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, but it is time we got beyond that. We can even forestall the surprises of the weather now, one', so important a matter as .the disposition of a melon ought no longer to be left to this archaic and irrevocable test. Moreover, the fact that to those who are not fortunate enough to grow their own melons and they are many the eating of the melon is subsequent to the paying for it, introduces at once thai economic factor, so powerful in all invention. To buy a melon, fair seeming and suggestive of an unworldly sweetness, to render it hopelessly unfit for further commercial exchange by cutting it and taking out the seeds, and then to find that it tastes of cotton batting or home-made squash or Indian meal porridge with the salt forgottenthese are experiences that cost the patience and the pocket dear! A watermelon can be plugged by the wise and prudent, but one mijcht as welt plug oranges as the little melons that are so plenty and so pathetically inadequate to the situation. One curious fact is that they arc not bettered by being called cantaloupes. It would seem at first glance that that ought to do something for them; that a melon of any standing whatever would not allow itself to be called cantaloupe without rising to the occasion. But we have seen many cantaloupe that might have been water-logged turnip. We might as well call them Japanese or citron muskmelons or breakfast melons it makes no real difference. Another curious thing is that other people are so apt to have good ones so m .;ch better than you have been able to find. When one has a melon for . dinner or luncheon at a friend's house, six to one it is sweet and aromatic. This is inexplicable. And a good melon is such a good thing: So gratefully cool, so honey sweet, so full of the flavor of sun and ripeness. Surely it cannot be beyond the ingenuity of mail to find some convincing method of telling this kind from th' cotton-batting variety. There must be some seeret marks, like those known to the philueiist. which would betray the secret if only one cowid discern them. It is nt to be believed that one of those fruits of ideal character will be forever content to be confused with the fatuous quiliths of its imitHtors. It only waits for the ingenious benefactor to discover a test-one superior to any fancied accuracy of guessing by weight o.r color which shall elevate our present pitiful shifts and errors into the security of science. I'lttcnt-Lcnther !hoes. Philadelphia Record. "If you wish to be English," said the bootmaker, "yon should say 'pay-tent.' not patent leather. Tht re is a tremendous craze just now for this material. Men and women alike are wearing it. and no other kind of Oxford, or half-shoe. js being sohl. It is strange, considering the popularity of patent leather, that greater advances are not inad in its manufacture and that an expensive shoe of this kind should Mill be such an unreliable thing to buy. The time will come, n.i doubt, when the veneer that i- applied to the hide to Cive it its luster will be a harmless veneer, and he who accomplishes this advance will grow immensely rich. Did you ever see patent leather made? The sKins are stretched, a polishing li'iuid is applied to them, and a baking follows. They come forth shilling like black diamonds Originally they are p, rfect. and after coating and baking they may still ;. perfect, but a.tin they may be ruined, so that, oil being made up into shoes, the leather "will crack with two or three Wearlngs. It is not wise to adopt patent leather for ordinary street v. ear. but that is what everybody is preparing to io this summer." Mt. Austin has jikst come to town.

Washington Shops May Qnlt Work. trpeelal to the Indianapolis Journal. VINCENNES, Ind., Sept. S.-The strike of common laborers at the shops of B. & O. S. XV. Railroad, at Washington, is assuming a serious phase. There are about 150 men involved, and the men demand an increase from 12 cents to 15 cents an hour. The increase was denied principally, it is said, on account of an advance which was given to these men a few weeks ago. The officials have tried to get men to fill the places of the strikers, and imported men from Flora, 111.,' and Mitchell, Ind., but when they arrived at the shops they would not work. A special car was sent from her to-night, but it contained but three men. Laborers are hard to find. The machinists at the shops say If they are compelled to work with green helpers they too will quit work. Knkotro Machines to Participate. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO. Ind.. Sept. S.

Light and Others Have nn Option on the Klngan Icchonses Finns Prepared. There was a rumor afloat late Saturday night that Dr. R. C. Light, of Broad Ripple, and a number of associates had obtained an option on the Kingan icehouses in Broad Ripple for the purpose of erecting a $200,000 summer hotel. Dr. Light, when questioned about the rumor yesterday, said it was true that such a deal was on and that plans had been prepared for the new building. When the deal would be closed he refused to say. It is thought that as soon as the sale of the icehouses has been consummated the work of tearing down the structures will begin. The company also has options on a number of mineral springs. The water from this source is to be piped Into the new hotel and an up-to-date sanitorium will be built. In addition to the mineral water baths the river at this point affords excellent opportunities for plunge baths. A better place for boating can hardly be secured. It is the desire of the promoters of the new hotel company to make the place an ideal summer resort. L1HRARIES OF SOFXI). Iiots of Tronhle to Keep I'p vrifh the Latest ".Musical" Records. New York Post. The owner of a phonograph or any other of the numerous "talking machines' is put to the same trouble and expense as a musician to keep his repertoire up to date and his library of selections in good condition Unless new "records" are procured prettv often the instrument is of about as much practical use as one of the old cylinder music boxes playing "The Blue BelN of Scotland," "America. Phe Carnival of Ve nice." "La Paloma." "The Old Folks at Home,' witli variations, and the overture to -William Tell." lurc There are a good many agencies in this city that make a business of supplying the latest pieces of music, recitations or "specialties" to their customers on phonograph cylinders or di.-ks. Some of them keep several thousand "records" in stock all the time. When the business first began to assume its present large proportions, several attempts were made to establish phonographic "libraries." The customer, whose responsibility had to be vouched for. as in a circulating library, was first required to pay for a dozen records. Afterwards, for a small monthly payment, he was to h ive the privilege of taking out so many records a month and keeping each one two weeks to use in his machine. The plan sounded practicable, and a good profit could be figured out on paper. One factor, however, was disregarded, and that was the natural human tendency not to take good care of anything that is rented. There is no article of commerce more delicate than the fine wax cylinders, and careless handling would result in spoiling a good proportion of the "library's" stock every month. So this plan was unsatisfactory. Instead. the "exchange" system is now widely In vogue. Customers understand that the least flaw or scratch cuts off the privilege of exchange, and they treat the records accordingly. Suicide or l S. Churchill. CANTON. III.. Sept. S -Frank S.

Henri Mciiit-r, of Paris, betook himself last week to his Island of Anticosti. This island lies in the estuary of the St. Lawrence. It is twenty-five miles longer than our Long island and a little more than twice as wide at Its widest. There are 3.S4Ö square miles of Antlcosti. and every square inch of It belongs to M. Henri Menier. of Paris. His purchase of the Island made a stir among our Rood neighbors of the Dominion. Some of their papers were pretty sure that it meant mischief. Their doctrine was that the French flag follows French chocolate men. They warned their government carefully to consider whether it would be yafe to permit the establishment of the tricolor in perpetuity in the Jaws of the St. Lawrence.

M. Menier paid a round price for his island, but it la now thought In Quebec that It was a sound buslnaaj lavsatmaat-
