DIFFERENT STORIES
Told by Dr. Cox and Corporal Ryan, Con-
corning sergean. Dobson's Case.

WASHINGTON, d. c., November III
DR.. s. Clifford Cox an assistant surgeon
in the First volunteer regiment of the
District of Columbia, to-day explained to
Col Derby, of the war investigating COM
mission, his connection with the case of
Sergeant Dobson, of that regiment, who
died In a Brooklyn hospital last Septem-
Der He said he had not attended the
case until the Sd of September, when he
had gone to see the young man in his
tent, and that on the 5th he pronounced
the case typhoid. and ordered the patient
taken to the general hospital. DR. Cox
did not believe that Dobson had suffered
by being allowed to remain in his tent as
his case was a very mild one. The young
man was lying on a bed on the ground,
but he had a hammock he could have
used if he had desired. DR.. Cox expressed
the opinion that the patient should not
have been removed to the BROOKLYN hos
pital from the general camp hospital.
NO doubt" he said, 'he was killed by
being moved around" 1t was his under
standing that the sick mans mother had
requested the transfer.
Corporal Ryan testified that DR.. Cox
had required Sergeant Dobson to come TO
his (the doctor's) tent, Notwithstanding
he had told him the man was not able
to do SO, and this in the face of the fact
that Dobson was practically carried up
by two comrades.
DR.. Cox had marked him for duty.
Corporal Ryan declared that Dobsons
bed on the ground consisted of his
blanket only, and he did not occupy his
hammock because he could not get into
it. Corporal Ryan stated. as did DR.. Cox.
that Dobson had not wanted TO go to the
hospital as ne desired to come home

identifying the homes of the people
are devised and prosecuted, as a slim
illus and benediction. Forestry be-
came his speciality ad the study of it in
it's largest relations was the enthusi-
asm of his later years. The treeless
countries of Spain and Sicily woke his
sorrow and his admonitions After a
century or two mOre-Of tree killing he
saw the extinction of the American
forests with all it's distressful cOnse-
quences He taught the children to
plant trees as the best way to prevent
their fathers from killing them. For
this, one of the most benefcent and
far-reaching reforms, DR.. Northrop
will be held, and deservedly, in sacred
remembrance.
1t should be remembered that the
mover in this great reform was not
mere enthusiast, but practical educa-
tor. His many years service as Secre-
tary of the Education Board of Con-
necticut, brought him into a position
special needs. The farm house and the
school house he had occasion to study
thoroughly. What could be done with
the inside and outside of both, his
keen eye saw, and his practical taste
and good sense enabled him to teach
to others. This was a work that nobody
was able or willing to do. Education
was his enthL ISM and delight. The
skill that wrought changes in the me-
thods of teaching was enlisted in re-
volutionizing the eXternals as we'll. A
| teacher who made her school house
grounds a garden of beauty owed to
DR.. Northrop the privilege of using
| this enginery of civilization; few
years ago school boards would have
objected. The creation of this public
sentiment is a work of time and con-
tinuous toll. Behind that sentiment
now the friends of order and neatness
in any community can correct the hab-
it's of negligent neighbors.
We do not need to speak of the rare
endowment, singular firmness of senti-
ment and loftiness of ideals of our life
long friend. They are well known. We
stand by his bier today to be thankful
that he lived for over so years and
that of all the number, not one could
be spared or counted lost.-R. A. S. in
The Evangelist.
