The Whitaker Case

Prof. Green arrived in Washington
from West Point, May 80. OF the Whitaker
inquiry. and finding OF the court he says Whit
taker has been prejudlced on suppositions, as
sumptions, insinuations and expert testimony,
upon which, according to military law, little
II any reliance should be placed. He says the
academey dexterous1y shifted the responsible
ity by having Whitaker call for court of in.
quiry, instead of having it come from the
president. By SO doing they placed Whitaker
alone in the position of the accused, while
had the president ordered the inquiry
the whole corps of cadets, Whitaker also
included, would have been placed on trial.
Professor Green intends to follow the case up
with the secretary of war, as he has already
been assured by Secretary Ramsey that an op-
portunity will be offered him to choose the
methods of procedure and findings of the
court.

pending nomination of ex- Congressman Hor-

eral. Senators Beck and Voorhees, spoke
against its confirmation on account Of May

Bailey made short speech In favor of con-
firmation, taking the ground that in view of
Maynard's unquestioned private integrity and
ability, his extreme partisans hip during the
exceptional period referred to, should be over

Doctor and Patient.

A young physician passed the summer
at Long Branch some years ago. While
there the daughter of q wealthy New
Yorker was rescued from the ocean in a
drowning condition. She was placed on
the beach insensiblc and liieless, and the
doctor being summoned, worked over
her for several hours, finally having the
satisfaction of seeing her restored to con-
sciousncss and lte, much to the joy OF
her agonizing parents. She was saved,
but nothing was SAID about paying the
young, deserving and successful physi-
clan. The father, instead of calling the
doctor into his room, at the West End
Hotel, and giving him check for $500
or $1,000, allowed the season to slip in
silence. AT last the doctor was forced to
send in bis bill. It was for the modest
sum Of 5000. The father objected to
paying SO muc!., and suit had to be be-
gun to recover this amount There is
great difference in people. The past
season Mr.. Mollier Of New York, tele-
graphed from Florida for DR.. F. Sceger
to come at once, to attend his daughter,
who was very ill. The doctor hastened
to Florida, was gone eighteen days, and
had the good fortune to restore the lady
to health. AS token Of his apprecla-
tion and gratitude, he gave DR.. Seeger
check for $4,000, and the young lady
made him many presents besides. No
many years ago a wealthy resident of
New York took DR.. Van Buren, to Europe
with him. He paid all his expenses, he
lived in royal manner while abroad;
and when the doctor got back to New
York he was presented with check for
$10,O0Ol We leave the reader to adOrn
the tale and point the moral regarding
these medical men and their patients.
