STAND BY CHY ATTORNEY RYAN.

ne city law department IL SwunDctl
with personal injury damage suits.
Attorney A. J. Ryan has finished the
work Of tabulating these actions and
found that there were over 1000 of
them pending and that the total
amount Of damages asked against the
city Is over $I0.OOO.OOO.
The crowding Of the city's personal
injury docket ~ due to the fact that
the present administration began with
n policy Of trying every ease Of this
kind and refusing to settle In any case.
TIE situation from the point of labor
involved Is serious, and Mr.. Ryan Is
gathering data to present to the finance
committee Of the Council In support OF
n request for five additional trial law.
yers for the city law department. This
additional force. II obtained. will re-
quire an additional appropriation OF
mt least $4,000 a year, but 1t IL the
only way the city can escape from the
maze of litigation. Tie majority Of
eases on the docket. Attorney Ryan
says, are Matchmaking In their charac.
ter. The names OF not more than u
dozen attorneys or firms appear In the
entire collection and with one or two
possible exceptions they are all law
yers who have an Odious reputation as
damage lawyers"
These attorneys always sue for large
damages, from $4,000 to 100000, no
matter what the character of the IN
jury, and this accounts for the large ng-
gregate amount involved. Lawyers Of
this character have frequently been
the subject of severe comment by the
courts and bar associations, but they
continue to flourish ut the expense of
the city and corporations. When Mr..
Ryan determined TO prevent the city
from being bled by means OF such
cases few OF which are meritOrlOlis. IL
caused an avalanche Of litigation. The
lawyers always file their suits three
terms ahead OF declaration time and
thus the city is unable 10 get at the
facts back OF the suit. When the dec.
laration is eventually filed the cases
ARE so odd that investigation IL fairly
well blocked.
In addition TO the docket cases there
are over 1000 petitions before tho
Council asking for award OF damages
for injuries received, and most of these
are liable to result In suits. In appear
ance fees alone the city has been pay
ing In personal injury suits over $4,000
year. The damage lawyers are usu.
ally aided by physicians who are ready

her OF damage suits pending In several
large cities:

The second great feature OF the Noruach
regimen is heroic feeling. The patient Is permit
ted TO follow his own impulses to some extent a'
first but after a little he takes his meals uhdef
the eve of an inspector, and is required to eat a
prescribed quantity. In some similar lhst'u
lions the invalid is merely encouraged TO eat a'
much as he can At others the advice gwen Is
10 eat twice as much as is naturally IN
clined to- At Nordach the fare and amounts
TO be eaten are indicated and run about as toi-
lows: Breakfast-Ialf a pint OF milk coifee ana
rolls and as much meat or as many eggs az one
likes the quantity being largely optional. DIN
ner and supper are alike except in one trliiihs
detail the omission OF pudding Here is the
menu: Half a pint Of milk half pound of beef
or fish for the first course, and for the second
the same amount OF veal mutton or poultry
with two platefuIs OF vegetables; half a pound
Of bread half a pound of pudding, and rice
halter custard or ice cream.
A rather startling regulation is that In case
one's stomach rejects the food while the patient
is at table he must begin all over again ana
take the full amount In other institutions II
IS permitted merely to finish the meal from me

however, that even after a fit Of nausea one is
able to retain an astonishing quantity of food.
To this stuffing process. TO the other salient
features Of the management the patients quick
ly become roconciled, and this is particularly
true when they discover. as they soon do. how
rapidly they gain in weight a consequence of
hearty eating
When the doctor gets the temperature and
weight Of his patients where he wants them he
compcs the nvads to take exercise. He begins
gradually and allows his charges to proceed
very slowly. But by degrees the amount is in
creased. Walking is often supplemented with
special forms Of artificial eXercise-forced
breathing. or lung gymnastics The patient
stops every so often during ramble and takes
ten or twelve full deep bfeaths.

scratch themselves in public" says the doctor;
this tickling sensation in your throat is really
an itching; it would be as indicate to relieve
yourself Ivy coughing to scratch yourself In
the presence of Others This argument works
a wonderful reform.
In spite Of the seeming recklessness Of the
open-air treatment, a careful supervision Of all
cases Is maintained. and the conditions
studously adjusted TO each ones requirements.

Harden viii Not Get It.

New YORK. jan ga dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Upon the
arrival in Manila of the civilian members
of the Philippines commission the first
action they will be required to take will
be to elect a secretary. Edward w. Har-
den of Chicago, selected a few days ago,
will not fill the position. During his con-
ference with the civilian members the
president suggested that kear Admiral
Dewey and Major General Otis should be
consulted about such appointments. Dur
ing the war Mr.. Harden has been en-
ployed as newspaper correspondent at
Manila and had made his headquarters on
board the revenue cutter McCulloch
which participated in the battle of Ma
Mia bay and subsequent operations. In
reply to the presidents inquiry, Admiral
Dewey cabled that he had no objection
to Mr. Harden's appointment. General
Otis, however, took exception to the APP
pointment of the Chicago man. because,
it is stated, he published in a San Fran
cisco newspaper statement concerning
the Philippines which Otis declared I'M
true. In view of General Otis message
the decision to appoint Mr.. Harden as
secretary of the commission was re-
voked.
