STEA1 BATHS FAIL
TO CURE HYDROPHOBIA
DR.. Gibier Tests the New Buisson
Treatment and PrOnounces it a
Failure--First Trial i'm America.

New York. July 2S.-Dr. Paul Gibier,
Of the Pasteur Institute. yesterday
made an interesting test OF the Buis-
son treatment, a new method of deal
ing with hydrophobia. The subject is
George NJ. Bockoven, of 515 West 151st
street. DIR. Gibier said last night that
the patient was fast sinking and that
he had no hope of his recovery. At
midnight he was delirsous, and the
signs which precede death by hydro
phobia had appeared.
This is the first time that the Buis-
son treatment has been attempted in
the United States, though it has at
tracted much attention among medical
men. In brief, DR.. Buisson, a French
physician. maintains that a Russian
bath is all that is needed to effect an
immediate cure. In PROOF Of this he as
serts that he contracted the disease
through cut in his hand while attend
ing a patient who had hydrophobia,
and that all the characteristic symp-
toms OF the malady soon developed He
went to a Turkish bath and remained
for severafhours in the steam room si
a high temperature. When he left the
bath he was completely cured. he said.
and has had no return of the symp-
toms since that time.

drophobia is in the BRAIN" said DR..

that IL could be cured by a Russian

taken"
DIR. Bibier's Cpl ortunity came yester-
day when Mr.. Boclcoven, who Is 90
years old. came to him for relief. He

A NOVEL POINT.
RAISED in Reads Case Against Con-
soIidated Railroad.
Twice Awarded Damages but Appellate Court
SET VerdCts Aside.

An important question is raised by
counsel i'm the case of Charles N. Read
VS.. New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad Company in their petit
ton for new trial. Mr.. Read. who
was injured while in the employ of
the defendant corpoatiin got a YER
dict from one jury after which the an
pellate court granted the defendants $
petition for new trial. The new trial
resulted in second ver/ict for the
plaintiff. This time the appellate court
set the verdict aside and gave judg-
ment for the defendant for costs.
Brennan & Holland counsel for Mr..
Read have fled a petition Or a new
trial in which they make the points
that the appellate court had no author
ity under the general laws to enter
judgment for the defendant for costs
ana III there is any law giving them
such authority IL is unconstitutional as
IL practically takes away from juries
the rlght TO decide on facts presented
10 them and makes the court not only
Judges or the law but also Of the facts
IN any particular case.
Ihe argument in the case as well as
the courts decision thereon will be
awaited with interest by a number OF
members OF the bar. The decision will
in all probability define more accurate
ly than has heretofore been done i'm
this state.
Mr.. Read was a brakeman and
while engaged in doing some braking
the brake OF the car broke and he was
thrown under the cars and received in
juries that will cause him TO be always
cripple. The jury's verdict i'm the
first case was for $4,000 but the appel
late court granted a new trial because
the testimony led the court To believe
the defect in the brake was latent
defect. The second jury awarded Read
$1,000.

The thrower or pitcher-a dear little

who stands on one corner with hugo
cane in his hand. The thrower tries
to hit the cane and the other young
man tries to swing his cane 30 that
it will be impossible for the thrower
to hit it with the ball. Some of the
knockers can't get their canes out
Of the way quick enough and when
they get hit they have to drop the
cane and play tag around the block;
but most OF the darlings can stand
there and never get their canes nit
once. The handsome fellow who
wears the silver plated toilet mask
