CHINN DOWN ON WATER. ck Gives His Views on the ntucky’s Christentog. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 1.—Jack Chinn, asked for his views as a Ken- tuckian on the proposition to chris- ten the battle ship Kentucky with water, gave the following answer : Never heard of anybody in Ken- t christening anything but babies with water, and as Kentucky is to be a ship I thought she should be fixed like the Kentuckian when he goes out to fight. Give her a good dose of smoothold Kentucky ‘Do Wrong,’ and start her with blood in her eye and a chip on her shoulder. I don't think a warship has much use for water, except to foat in. When the average Kentuckian gets a dose of old Bourbon aboard, and his eyes begin to shine like a cat's in a hole, he is ready to meet an army of wild cats I say, give the ship a show, Pat her on the same footing as other boats, start ber to Cuba, und if she is any kin toa Kentucky fighter she will go through the Spanish navy like Leonatus or Ban Fox did through a field of selling platers. ‘It might be better to break the bottle over the prow of the ship after letting the captain drink the liquor, for there is more fight in a quart of liquor than an ocean of water. Give the Kentucky the right sort of start, whose name she bears. on the water proposition.

Profession.—Costs Fi on Whalen’s At- torneys, “We've been making history to- day’’ smiled Dr. Frank Boyd last night as @ reporter entered his in- firmary. ‘:We doctors all feel happy, we feel good, and we have a right to, I think, for we've won a great vic. tory. ~ The occasion of the doctor’s exub- of good humor was the ver- dict he had recejved a few hours be- fore in the cireuit court. The jury in the suit. of J. D> Whalen, of Brooklyn, against Dr. Frank Boyd, returned a verdict in favor of the defendant, Dr, Boyd. The case is probably one with which all well-informed people of Paducah sre familiar. Whalen had a bullet lodged in his skull, a: last spring came over to the Bc infirmary to be exposed to the X- ray and have it located and removed, He was told then that the exposure might result in a burn, but sub- mitted to the experiment, He was burned, and for some time suffered from the injury, This the defendant admitted in his answer to the peti- tion. He did not deny that the pa- tient was burned, that ls haic came out on one side of his head, and that he suffered pain from it, but alleged that the injury was not a result of carelessness or incompetency, but of something over which the physicians had no control, and were in no wise responsible for. When the case came to trial last week, the best of legal talent was found on both sides, Major T. E Moss and Attorney R, T. Lightfoot for the plaintiff, and Attorneys M. W. Worten and W. D. Greer for the defense. The number of witnesses was not large, but the cross exawi- nations Were unusually rigid. Among the witnesses was Dr. B. Merrill Ricketts, of Cincinnati, who was Arguments begin Monday, and were concluded yesterday after- noon by Major Moss. The jury was out about half an hour, and then brought in a verdict for the defend- ant. “It is the first case of its be decided in the United St said Dr. Boyd. **There are about twenty cases similar to 1t now pend- iog, but this is the first decision reached. It is a precedent that will be recognized and discussed all over the country, and even all over the world, LIventure to say, by the medical profession, It is bearing on sometbing entirely new—the appli- cation of the X-ray in surgery, in locating foreign bodies. Its iinpor- tance to the profession cannot be estimated, The court has now recognized this. We have simply laid a foundation upon which a sub stantial structure may soon be erect- ed. “It was the same y when chilo- roform was first used, Everybody knows that if a person get too much chloroform, when it is administered for an operation, it may kill. When it first came out, a number of suits were brought against doctors in cases where tie patients died. The courts soon recognized the utility of chloro- form, however, and its value in gery, and refused to hold doctors re sponsible where due precautions were used. “This decision is no doubt equally as important to the members of the profession as the ones bearing on the use of chloroform, It may be more so, for the X-ray is destined to y a prominent part in modern surgery It was not so much a personal vic- tory as a victory for the entire pro- feasion, We bad good Inwyers, a sensible jury, and the right on our side.”’ Judging from this verdict the pro- fession cannot any more be held res ponsible in the application of X-rays than in the administration of clloro- form, Had the verdict been to the eontrary, and been sustained, the effect on the profession would have been most injurious, and would have badly hampered doctors in the use of the X-ray. In fact it might have in- timidated some of them to the extent that they would not use the valuable agency under any circustances, and sequence. when relief could be readi- ly found by an exposure to the X-ray. It is inferred from the ver- dict that a doctor does not have to even warn a patient previous to ex posing him to the Y-ray, although io was shown that WINS THE CASE, kind tolg Dr. Boyd's case it chased the schooner Moonlight, on) i iatient was told he might be 5,82, closed 5.79, George Wilkes’ Bones.
