SATURDAY, MORRIS ADLER’S WATER BED. He is Better Than He Was a Week Ago—A Bare Chance for Recovery. Morris Adler is more comfortable to-day than he has been at any time since he fell on the floor of Lew Newmeyer’s saloon with a buliet from Frank Ward's pistol lodged in the imme- diate vicinity of his spinal column. For sev- eral days past the surgeons who are in attend- ance upon Adler have been endeavoring to se- cure for the use of their patient a water bed. Nothing of the kind could be secured in this city norin Baltimore or Philadelphia. New York was the only place where such a bed could be had, and even there it seemed to be a matter of considerable difficulty to find one that was disengaged. This morning the bed arrived—a rubber bag about 8 feet long and 3 feet wide. It was at once filled with water and tested, and when the doctors came to hold their regular morning consultation the wounded man was by them lifted from his old ss and placed on the uew one, the princij teristics of which are coolness and e! toity, The change decidedly beneficial, the current of water which d_ through the bed removing that uncomfortably a and sticky feeling which always torments invalids who are compelled to lie in bed for any length of time. ANOTHER GOOD RESULT looked for will be the disappearance of all symptoms of those secondary troubles which invariably add to the suffering of patients who must remain in one position. Fortunately, the close attention of Adler's physicians have pre- vented any outbreak of this nature, but it would inevitably have come but for the soft and yielding water-bed. In order that the eternal fitness of things be not outraged an air pillow was also purchased, und this, too, was put into use this morning. Last night was a comparatively comfortable one for the sick man, But little morphia was administered—barely sufficient to give him the repose he needed. The electric fan worked very smoothly and the apartment was agreea- bly’ cool all night. A MARKED IMPROVEMENT, This morning Drs. Bayneand McBlair looked the patient over and came to the conclusion that his condition is better than it w: week ago. His temperature was down to 101, and his pulse. although varying, averaged about 92. Respiration was practically unchanged, and there had been no renewal of the labored breathing. The paralysis was just as it was yesterday; Adler could move his left foot from side to s ide; that was all that looked like im- provement; but it was no better than it was yesterday, The wound is giving no more trouble. The discharge has ceased and practi- cally the orifice in healed. If present conditions rooeiies the chances are that Adler will live for some time, and it is BARELY POSSIBLE THAT HE MAY RECOVER. Such a possibility has, of course, always existed, but it never seemed so plain as now. Adler continues to insist that he will pull through all right, and, while the doctors will not acknowledge that he knows anything about it, they are hardly as pronounced in their state- ments as to the outcome of the case. They, too, are hopeful that their patient will recover— it would be a big thing for them—but up to this afternoon they hadnot seen anything in Adier’s condition which would lead them to imagine that he would ever be a well man again, What they most fear now is a return of the hot weather.

The children are this season established in their new home at the corner of Broad Branch and Grant roads, the ground for which was pre- sented by Mr. C. C. Glover. The gifts of moncy, it is stated, have not been so large as usual’ this year, yet the expenses have been greater in conseynence of the removal and establishment in the new home. ven chiidiren can be accommodated at one time in the home. h child is to remain for two weeks, though if any are tound to be greatly in need of a longer holi- day it is given tam.

This morning he divided attention between the maps in front of him and the heavy bank of biack clouds visible through the open western window. Over on the table was the thermograph engaged in its slow climb toward the point of no further endurance, but it had fallen behind the record of yesterday by about a degree. Still the lieutenant could not see sufficient coolness ahead to forecast a fall in temperature so he predicted “heavy showers, clearing on Sunday, stationary temperature.” SHAKY ABOUT HIS SUNDAY WEATHER. He explained to Tue Star reporter that he was a little shaky about his Sunday weather, for it was very uncertain whether or not the storm that is now central over western New York and is bringing rain all to the west of us, will move over quickly enough to allow it to clear up here before late to-morrow Still. ifit began raining here before night the chances were good for a clearing to-morrow morning. He thought that it would bea heavy rain, as in the western part of Virginia and Pennsylvania this morning several severe rain- falls had occurred. ‘The temperature, he thought, will remain about as it was yesterday, between 88 and 9, but the presence of the clouds and the —_ condition of the atmosphere will cause a lent feeling of discomfort and consi: erable doubt as to the accuracy of the thermometer. AFTER THE RAIN—WHAT? There is an area of high barometer behind the storm that will probably cause clear, warm, pleasant weather on Monday and possibly on other days of next week. The country is well balanced in tem there being no excessive heat or cl in ord where. Temperatures vary but 2 to 4 degrees and in the mcst erratic manners. Two towne side by side have the same degrees of heat, and two others similarly located some distance away vary several degrees. But the average is ex- tremely good, and the readings are unusually even. Real Estate Matters.

This year promises to beat all its predeces- | sors in the way of sporting events. Especially | is this true on the turf. Ye-terday, at Chi- cago, the great western filly Maori ran a mile in one minute thirty-nine and four-fifths sec- onds, the fasiest mile ever recorded in a race, It was a great piece of work, provably the greatest ev Tn 1s ‘leu Broeck ran a mile against | Lut even this, made under xe much more able cireumst.nces, was ou a second faster than Maori’s periormauce among the annoyances of arace. If we take tue outside time, Maori ran in less than the Sgure given, but as the othcial time goes on . We are obliged to accept that. The fastest previous time made in arace was 1:40 at Sucepshead Bay by Stuyvesant in 1877, and by wudge very recently at Sheepshead Bay. “Maori's achievement was undoubtedly due to the extra prize of $1,000 which was offered to {the horse that broke the record. ‘This is a good feature to incorporate into all racimg events, Under the present oircumstan es, when a horse has a racq in band, he is slowed up, and the people do not get the full benefius of his possibilities. Take the case of the won- | derful colt El Rio Rey, which came under the wire the other day under a pull in very nearly record time. A good-sized prize for beating the record would have made that race almost phenomenal. merenent: VER The North Caroliaa Asylum Scandal.

Sutton to-day. Next to the French government Mr. Sutton was the highest bidder. His story of the sale, the noncompliance of the purchasers with the terms and bis final success is ax follows: “The bidding in of the picture for the gov- ernment and the subsequent refusal of the dep- uties to confirm the purchase-—-which is now next toan assured fact—have been political acts. Many Frenchmen desire to keep the pio- ture in France simply because it is a great work of art:others. from different motives, think no doubt that M.

On the other hand some are trying to make political capital by urging that the cost is too great, and the gov- ernment had better use the money im aiding starving citizens. THE PICTURE WORTH ITs PRICE. “In keeping with this claim was begun an at- tempt to decry the merit of the picture.

THEY FAILED TO RAISE THE FUNDS. “The condition was that the money should be paid last Friday. On Thursday M. Proust came to me and asked whether I was willing to take the picture if he failed to get the money. I said ‘yes,’ and have been following the matter ap, as I had doubts about his getting the money. He borrowed the money from the Rothschilds, when he found the deputies would not vote it in time, and put the painting on exhi- bition, Over $625 were taken the first day, Then I put a stop to the exhibitioa, hav: cured a contract to take the picture. ion Tuesday, having found out that there was no chance of the deputics confirming the pur- chase, M. Proust came to me and said he would certainly be defeated. SUTTON GETS THE PICTURE. “I then had a talk with him and the repre sentative of the Corcoran gallery, who was one of the highest bidders. They agreed that it was only rij at that I should have the first chance to take the picture. I accordingly en- tered into a contract to take it off M. Proust's hands at just what he paid for it in case the deputies refused to confirm the purchase. They surely will refuse. M. Proust expected to get the picture for $15,000, He had secured sub- scriptions amounting to $10,000, but the excite- ment at the sale was very great and many shouted to him to go on bidding and they would furnish the money. This was mere talk, as the event has shown. One man—a «t to me—told me to go ahead. for he would give 50,000 to have the picture go to America, When M. Proust found that the government would almost certainly refuse to take the pic- ture he came to me naturally, for he did not care to shoulder his obligation to the Roths- childs. He did not want the picture. “There is sure to be a great stir over the matter ip France, for the government will be severely criticized whether it takes the picture or not, The feeling is divided and intense. The matter will be settled to-day or to-morrow.
