STRIVE TO BE BETTER DAILY Rev. H. C. Herring Admonishes His Hearers to Keep Working for Good. In the opening prayer of Sunday morning services at the First Congregational church Rev. H. C. Herring uttered a fervent appeal to heaven that the life of President M Kinley might be spared. The pastor then preached from the words of the Apostle Paul, “Work out your own salvation, with fear and trembling, for it is God that worketh In you, both to will and to do Hlis own gocd pleasure.” Dr. Herring drew from these words an admonition to strive strenuously for better- ment {0 all ways, never to .allow either mind, scul or body to stagnate, come to a rlanast or retrograde. .This constant st © advancement should be maln- a cughout lite, and because of the LN 'l great personal issues de- pen 1n 148 tuccess it should be a work “nt care and anxlety, shrouded over by rcatipusl suspense till the end was reuched Sldelighta from the text were classed nunder two suggestions. The first is a grim mestage—the va possibilities of failure controntivg every human life. For each of us are continual perils that continue from the cradle to the grave, perils of childhood, of young manhood and womanhood, of middle age, unceasing, never ending. One of the most formidable is that of stunted de velopment, on one side of a life or in all To see a scul, @ mind or a body unde- veloped, not worked olit to its fullest poss!- billties, is the drearlest, most wournful #ight in the world The second suggestion is fhat of the glorfous possibilities of a Christlan life This thought is arrayed in all its bright- ness againat tMe fearfulness of the other one, and is infinitely greater, having power to dispel the terrors of disaster. of ¢ TREAT THEM ALL AS TRAITORS Rev. T. V. Moore Summests M Wherchy to Repress Murder- ous Anarchis “Perils of Our Country” was the theme of a stirring sermon delivered by Rev. T. V.

Clyde Clay Clssell referred to the murderous assault ‘upou President Mc Kinley in the following words “Three times in the hlstory of the United States have assassing Attempted the life of the chief executive of the land. In two of them have they been successful. The assassination of ‘Lincoln was tot surprising | coming at the close of the bloodiest war | the world has ever known.

This is, the an- archist who fs now making a problem which must be solved by the nations of the world.” PRAISE FOR STRICKEN CHIEF Trefs Delivers an Appreciation of Prealdent and Anathema for His Assailant. Rev. The sermon of Rev. BE. F. Trefz last night was an eulogy upon the character of the stricken chief executive. “It is not extravagant to say that President McKinley held first ‘rank among all his {llustrious predecessors as a popular idol" sald Mr. Trefz. “By birth and training he is dis- tinctly American, a soldier, a Statesman, o echolar, a ‘gentleman and a Christian His entire career gives no evidence of blotch or stain upon a magnificenc char- acter. Admired for his genlus in execution and in legisiation, he stands singularly alone, because the combination of Intel- men realm consclence, of action and thought, The public honor, faith and credit were as valuable to him as his own. ““Yet this man was selected as the victim of anarchy. What shall we say of the assassin or of the propaganda of which he claimed to bé a representative? Let us recall the dlscription given by John James Inzalls when portraying the murder of President Garfleld: ‘Such a revelation of mental and moral deformity has seldom been made. Not one good deed. nor any generous impulse marred the harmonious and symmetrical Infamy of the wretched malefactor. He was insane as the tiger and the cobra are insane. He stands de- tached from mankind In eternal isolailon as the one human being without of friend. Even among the basest he has no comrades. Thore 1s no soclety in which he would not be a stranger.

Several of the sermons were directed at the subject of anarchy and to social ques- tions.

CHICAGO PASTORS WARLIKE Supplement Th Prayers with De- termined Denanoiation of Anarchy. CHICAGO, Sept 8.—In every church in its followers was the theme of the morring sermon. The indignation and horror of the | pcople at the attempt on the president's life ceemed to have frozen even Christian charity, for the prayers for the speedy re- covery of the chief executive were followed by stirring demands in sermons that sn- archy be stamped out so effectually that not a vestige be left MORE STRINGENT LAW NEEDED Myron T. Herrick Talks of Inndequacy of Panishment for Such Oftenne. CLEVELAND, Sept. 8.—Colonel Myfon T. Herrick, one of the president’s most intl- mate friends, arrived here early today from Buffalo, having left the Milburn resi- dence ahout midnight. “When I left Buftalo the physicians felt groatly encouraged and all had strong hopes that the president would pull through.” said the colonel to the Associ- ated Press correspondent today. Referring to the would-be aseassin and the anarchists Mr. Herrick said “In view of the general feeling aroused among the people of the ecountry against anarchists as a result of the shooting of President McKinley it seems to me that the time is most opportune to demand a change in the laws so that Any attempt on the life of the chief executive may be punished by death. There |5 a strong sentiment in favor of congress taking actlon during the coming seasion in refarence to the matter. “I was told In Buffalo that if President McKinley recovers bis assallant cannot be punished by more than seven years' jm- prisonment under the laws of New York o me this seems & condition that should be remedied by national legislation at the earliest possible moment.

They stopped on the corner to tell the newspaper men of the high hopes they | had_ for the president's recovery. The | vice presideirt said with great emphasis that | he felt satisfied of the president’s recovery and Senator Hanna interjected the state ment that the president's condition, con- sidering the circumstances, could not be more favorable. Complications might arfse, snid the senator, but there were no indica- tions of them up to the present time. Senator Hanna then gpoke of the news- paper sfatements that the reports of the physicians were being colored and did not show the president's true condition “It is outragcous that such stories should be circulated,” sald he. “The phyaicians are giving the facts to the public.’’ At this point Vice President Roosevelt, | with great earnestness, laid his hand upon | the senator's arm “Senator, let me put it this way," he cald: “The doctors’ bulletins are inade | | with a scrupulous under-statement,” he re- | ! peated emphatically, adding emphasis with [ his uplifted gloves. “That eXpresses it | Hanna “Yes," continued Mr. Roosevelt, “if any- thing, the doctors understate the hopeful- ness of the situution.” Mr. Hanna again assented to this state. ment. He added that it took from forty- | | elght to seveniy-two hours for conclusions | to be reached of any absolutely conclusive | | character and no- physicians, pending such | a period, would state absolutely final con- clusions. But for the present the doctors wera ingpired by the increased effort to give the best 'udgment which medical sclence could render. Declines to Be Photographed. As Mr. Roosevelt and Senator Hanna turned to their carriage an attempt was made to photograph the vice president, but { he turned away hurriedly with a “No, no," indicating that it was not a time for such | scenes Robert T. Lincoln, son of President Lin- coln and former secretary of war, came from the Milburn house soon after Mr. Roosevelt and Senator Hanna retired. Mr. | Lincoln expressed the same hopeful view of the situation and regarded the condition of the patient as altogether favorable. Shortly after the departure of Vice Presl- dent Roosevelt and Senator Hanna Secretary iage, Secreiary Root, Secretary Hitchcock | and Attorney General Knox emerged and | walked down Delaware avenue together. | All of them shared in the good feeling | | which prevailed at the Milburn house. “The president is not only doing well, said the attorney general, “‘but he gives promise of doing better.” Each of these members of the cabinet | was exceedingly optimistic, although ad- mitting the possibility and danger of future complications. Secretary Gage sald that if another day passed without an indication of peritonitis the physicians felt that the danger from that source would be over. If the suppura- tion should appear in the neigkborhood of the bullet later they seemed to feel that no dificulty would be experienced In remov- g it The members of the cabinet will remain here until the issue of the president’s ill- nees s definitely determined. If the phy- siclans pronounce him out of danger they will return at once to Washington, where they can be together and in frequent con sultation, If necessity arises Word was received from Secretary of | State Hay today that he would reach here tomorrow. Secretary Long has not signified Fhis intention of coming, There has as yet been little discussion as | to the place where President McKinley will be removed in the event of hls con- valescence. The prevalling impreesion | seems to be that If he could be moved shortly that he would be taken to Canton instead of Washington. But if his con- valescence were delayed until cooler weather sets in he probably would be taken to the White House. The opinion of the physicians would probably govern, however On the arrival of Mr. Hay answers will be formed to many messages of condolence which have come from crowned heads and rulers throughout the world. These mes sages continue to arrive, one of them be- ing a deeply sympathetic message from President Diaz of Mexico.

Y., Sept. §—~The Express tomorrow will say regarding the first oper: tlon performed on the president: “The operation performed at the Emergency hos- pital 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 Dy Matthew D. Mann. His first assistant vas Dr. Herman Mynter. His second assistant was Dr. John Parmenter. His third as sistant was Dr. Lee of St. Louis, who hap- pened 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. Wilcon noted the the operation and took the notes. Dr. Eugene Wasdin 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 wielded the knife “The operation lasted about an hour. A cut about five Inches long was made. It was found necessary to turn up the stomach of the president in order to trace the course of the bullet. The opening was small and 1t was carefully closed with sutures, after which a search was made for the hole In the back wall of the stomach. The hole where the bullet went out of the back of the stomach was larger than the hole in the front wall, In fact, it was a wound over an fnch 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 tlssues through ahead of it Most Dangerous Feature, “In turning up the stomach, an act that was absolutely necessary and per- formed by Dr. Mann with rare skill, the danger was that some of the contents of the stomach might go into the abdominal cavlty and as a result cause peritonitis Subsequent developments tend to show that this feature of the operation was srandly successtul. “In this connection it s interesting that some experlenced physiclan. do not mind the temperature at all In poting the bul- letins of the president's condition, but say that #o long as the pulse is in proper rela tion to the temperature in a big operation Ilke this it is very common for the tem- perature to remain around 102 or 103, But it the temperature had dropped and the pulse had mocelerated it would have been a danger signal of peritonitis setting in. It 1s of Interest also to know that after an operation of this kind the peristaltic or compressive action in the abdominal cav- ity ceates or becomes retrograde. After the operation, as foon as tho patlent pas: s anything, even gas, through the rectum, it that perfstaltic action has re commenced nozmally and that the danger of peritonitls s practically over. After an operation such as was performed on he president the surgeons wish to know at once, even when gas !s passed, for they take it then that the patient is compara- tively safe from peritoniifs. The polnt of tremendous importance in connection with these facts Is that the president vesterday passed gas and later there was a further movement. Coupling this fact with the bul- letins lesued by the surgeons the basis for bope eeems stronger.” CZAR WILL NOW AVOID PARIS Russian Monarch Induced by MeKin. ley's Wounding to Minimize Al Danger.
