ROME, March 31.-J. P. Morgan is
in a most critical condition.' This is
the official announcement made yes-
terday by the attending physicians.
For several days he has been unable
to take nourishment, and his weak-
ness has given rise to the gravest ap.
prehension.
Up to Saturday night Mr, Morgan's
son -he -law, Herbert L. Satterlee, and
the physicians made every effort to
conceal Mr. Morgan's true condition.
The bulletin issued last night, how-
ever, indicates that the worst is to be
feared if a reaction does not speedily
set in.
The physicians, who are in com-
aelete accord on the diagnosis, issued
the following bulletin:
"A week ago Mr. Morgan -was per-
,suaded to go to bed and remain there
to ecinserve his strength. Until Wed-
nesday afternoon he did very well
under tis regimen; he rested and
slept without the aid of drugs and
took a satisfactory amount of nour-
ishment.
"Wednesday afternoon be began to
refuse food and since then it has been
impossible to nourish him. He has
lost weight and strength very rapidly.
His nervous system is shelving this,
and it has added to the strain seri-
ously.
"Mr. Morgan has not developed
any org,atie trouble, but is so exceed-
ingly weak that his present condition
Must be considered most critical,
"(Signed), G. Bastianelli, M. Allen
Starr, G. A. Dixon."
The only nouriehment which the
patient has beee able to receive for
several days has been through injec-
tions, to which the phyeicians had to
have recourse, and they fear that this
is not sufficient le sustain him for
any length of lime. ,
3, P. Morgan was born at Hartford.
Conn., on April 11, 1897. He gradu-
ated from the Englisn high scarred in
Boston; was a student in the Univer-

!Morgan, jr., who was at his home
lat 213 Madison avenue, for some com-
p:gent in regard to the despatches from
Rome and .London that his father's
,recovery was not progressing fever-
ishly. Mr. Morgan said:
I "I received a cable message this
afternoon which, while it gave no de.
tails, indicated that may father's
,condition had been less favorable for
the last three days and, in view of his
!years, is such as to give rise to cons
Isiderable anxiety."

LONDON'S •HUGE TRAFFIC
Proposed to Have East and West
Bound Traffic Use Different Streets
' The ever -Increasing quantity of
traffic in London and the best method
to control it Is a problem for the various
municipal bodies and specially formed
committees.
The special traffic committee of the
Westminster city council issued a re-
port in which It Is recommended that
the experiment should be attempted
of compelling the 'traffic to travel in
one direction only along certain
etreets. This system was adopted in
certain parts of Paris and did much
to facilitate the regulation of the trat-
fic weR as to simplify the duties
of the police.
1 The Wernminster special traffic
eommittee propoees that, subject no
Ike approval of the police authorities
notices should be fixed in Jermyn
atreet and Bennett street requesting
drivers of vehicles to proceed in al
westerly direction only and in
.A
westerly
street a,nd Deatery street, Park
bane, in a nertherly direction onlw,
The pollee authorities are in sympathy
with the proposal, which they consider
will do much to assist them in, regu-
lating the traffic.

though there are records of only 72.
He said many had been buried with-
out usual official action and that in
many cases he did not expect to get

looking for relatives passed along the
lines at the Morgues, fearing they
should find their loved ones. Only
a few bodies have not been identified.
Babies Born Since Flood.
COLUMBUS, 0., March 31. -Nearly
one hundred babies have been born
in the flood districts arid in the refu-

the Majority of cases neither the mo-

medical attention,
Many of the babies have died from
ewposure and hunger; others are in
a critical condition, as are probably a
hundred prospective mothers.
To meet this situation, the general
relief committee has opened a matern-
ity hospital and baby camp at the
Meznorial Hall.

other conveyances have been in con-
stant ute carrying provisions and fuel
to those who could not leave their
homes.
Eight more bodies were recovered

BUTTG-NS AS ORNAMENTS
When They Became Useful -Costly
Patterns In Gold and Silver
In early threes, when man was
master, clothe e were fastened with
strings and brooches. The Norman
nobility, who always had an eye to
effect, spent considerable sums of
money on their brooches, which were
chastely wrought, and added greatly
to the beauty of a costume. The
earliest buttons were merely adopted
as ornaments and fulfilled no useful
function. In the earliest paintings one
finds buttons without any correspond-
ing buttonholes. Buttons were also
sewn on shoes, e,nd figured pro:rine:It-
ly on the sleeves.
The button as an article ol use, and
not merely as an ornament, may be
Sall to date from the reign of Edward
I. These early buttons were of modest
appearance and were manufactured
from bone and wood.
It was the usual custom to have
Iwo buttons stitched on the coat at
the small of the back to enable a man
to button back his coat tails, so that
he could walk or draw nis sword the
more easily. These two buttons are
till retained on modern coats, though
any reason for their existence has
long since departed.
As wealth Increased gold and silver
buttons made their appearance. We
and Pepys writing: "This morning
came home my flne camlett coat,
with gold buttons, and a silk suit,
which cost me much money, and I
Pray God to make me able to pay
1or it." At a later date cloth buttons
became yery popular, but when Bir-
mingham began to turn out metal but-
tons an Act was passed in the reign
pf Geoege 1, forbidding the manufac-
ture of eicth buttons in 'order that
!the neW industry of metal buttons

Boils in themselves are not a dangerous
trouble, but still, at the same time are
very painful.
They are caused entirely by bad blood,
and to get rid of them it is absolutely
necessary to put the blood into good con-
dition.
For this purpose there is nothing to
equal that old and well known blood
medicine, Burdock Blood Bitters.
Mrs. James Mageean, Floral, Sask.;
writes: -"I was troubled for eight years
with boils on my face and body, and I
tried everything I could think of. My
neighbors told me to drink water off of
sour corn meal, but I kept getting worse
until one day a woman in town asked me
why I didn't try Burdock Blood Bitters.
My husband got me two bottles, and
before one was gone my bells had all dis-
appeared, and I feel like a different
woman. I can't tell you how thankful I
am for your medicine. I will recommend
it to all suffering women."
