REVENUE CUTTER LAUNCHED. Christened Daniel Manning in Honor of
 Late Secretary of the Treasury.

Late Secretary of the Treasury.
 Boston, Jan. 22.-The new revenue cutter Daniel Manning was launched from the yard of the Atlantic Works, East Boston, at 2:30 o'clock this after noon in the presence of 8 large con- course of people. A hitch occurred be- cause of the ways having been im- properly greased, and it was necessary to run a large hawser from the cutter to the tugs William B. Clark and Wes- ley A. Cove, which were acting as tend- CTS, but these two boats were unable to budge her.
 The big ocean tug Dudley Pray and the tug Juno then took hold and the four tugs succeeded in starting the craft, and she then slid into the water. As the last wedge was knocked from under the vessels keel Miss Margaret Warren, the daughter of Collector War ren of this port, broke bottle of wine across the vessels bow and chtistened her the Daniel Manning.
 It was nearly an hour before the ves- sel was finally gotten into the water. When she reached the water she went into nlfd-stream, where the tugs Dud- ley Pray and Wesley A. Cove towed her back to the Atlantic Works wharf, where she will receive her machinery and be made ready to go in cornmis- sion. The wharves and vessels in the vicinity of the launching were crowded with spectators and when the vessel took her initial plunge all the steam craft in the farbor saluted her with their steam whistles.

4 TICTIM OF x RAYS.
A Colored Hartford Youth Suffering Se-
 verely From Their Effect

Hartford, Jan. 22.-Theodore l.. Smith, colored, seventeen years old, living on Elm street, East Hartford, is at the hospital in this city suffering from an experiment with the x rays. Young Smith said to-day that on October 2S, 1895, he was accidentally shot by Will liam Rood of South Windsor. The bull let, which was a small one, entered his left nostril and passed up into his head. Since that time his left arm has been paralyzed. Two weeks ago he visited the Aetna Electric works on Asylum street. in company with pr. Bunce, where Henry Green, the superinten- dent, exposed the X rays to the left side of his head for an hour, in order to get a photograph and locate the bull let.
 The light was placed very near his head, and while the skull was being photographed he felt as though pins were being stuck into him, while great drops of precipitation fell from his face. The next morning, Smith says, his hair began to fall out, but otherwise he felt no i'll effects from the exposure. A week later Smith again submitted to have his skull photographed, the ex- posture being again an hour.
 Two days later his head began to be sore and the skin turned a purple color. Monday night the skin was all broken out while the proud flesh burned and itched. Smith went to the hospital Thursday to have his head dressed, and it was so bad that he was advised to stay few days to make sure the sore was healing. He felt all right ex- cept for the sore head. He said a good photograph was obtained of his skull, and that the doctors wished to take out the bullet, which was located over his right ear, but he would not let them.
