MAN WITH BROKEN BACKBONE IMPROVING RAP
IDLY,

James Mullen who fractured his backbone by
fall at Brighton Beach several days ago. is i'm
proving rapidly that the doctors of the Kings
County Hospital, Brooklyn said last night that it
would probably be unnecessary to carry out the
first plan OF repairing the injured spinal column by
the use of a silver tube. Mullen is being treated
by what is known the extension method. He is
strapped upon an inclined board, his head in d
leather To this case is attached rope lead
ing over pulley and ending with heavy weights
The feet drawn down the other way by weights
the result being that the spinal column is extended
and pressure the spinal cord relieved If the
fracture heals the patient will recover.
If this treatment does not prove successful, the
fractured vertebra will be removed and its place
will be filled with small silver tube. Mullen Is
only twenty-five years old, and is in good physical
condition. DR.. Downs, house surgeon in the Kings
County Hospital believes that the patient has a
good chance of recovery.

no further than Central Park, but thousands more
find il convenient TO spend their evenings and Sun

have a month or two for leisure living. To the

Kentucky Laws, and Women.

AS a watchful defender oi down trodden woman. The Republican the other day shied a brick at the cross grained Sacramento judge who held' in A divorce trial, that it is the duty of the wife to get up and make the morning fires. We now invite the at- tention of the ladies to judge or another sort-a Kentucky judge.
 Circuit Judge Toney, of Louisville. in trying divorce case, handed down the law of Kentucky, or of his district, at least-as to the property rights of hus- band and wife. To be sure. he inter preted the law sorrowfully, as one ut terly disheartened by the advent Of the new woman,- but as southern gentleman and as an upright judge did his duty, and thus expounded:
 Marital relations at common law between husband and wife and their property rights have been abolished In Kentucky by statute. The doctrine of unity of possession of the two is abol- ished. The doctrine of merger Is re- yersed, and the gray mare is the better horse. In every legal contest between husband and wife, he is the under dog in the fight If she have an estate and he none, he is pensioner on her bounty, and it is only ex gratia that he may enter the back door of her mansion.
 Now, a uiatron heiress is sailing in her yacht in the Mediterranean, while her husband is in the poorhouse here. He is not entitled to her personal prop erty, to her rents, nor to anything that is hers, and is not even allowed to give her mild Blackstonian reinstatement to keep her in good humor. The common law baron is dethroned and la femme enthroned in every legal right and ad- vantage over him. ."Courtesy is abolished in Kentucky. Notwithstand nding the total disruption of the. marital status of the property rights of husband and wife at common law. the husband. poor fellow is still liable for her torts. her gossip and her spring and fall hats and. fortiori, for her necessaries whenever furnished by the state, if she is insane, or by some other man, if she is not in an asylum. g

dispensers of naval appropriations: how fearful they are of the railing ac- cusation of undue extravagance: how welded to log-rolling methods in ap- portioning the enormous naval budget from year to year. Such an agency of administrative and fiscal authority cannot be moved by ordinary appeals. It is not likely, Indeed, that they would hear Secretary Moody, though he should sound an alarm calculated to wake the dead. We've got the shipa and the money" will be the answering cry. "and we can get the men when necessary
 Is this true? If so, then the present official list of the navy might as wei! be skeletonized still further. If naval officers can be drafted or allured from merchantmen, gleaned in schools of technology or grasped somehow from the air, the new federal fleet might aA well be laid up in ordinary. But if navigators and sea fighters are required to render the navy effective, the folly of pursuing a policy of parsimony in naval personnel admits of mo doubt, no sort of doubt. no possible doubt whatever" On October 1 last reports Secretary Moody, there was a defi- ciency of SIT officers. Four years hence, making all due allowance, this def- ciency will have increased to 1860 off cers. This means, of course, that un less steps shall be taken promptly by the lawmaking power to devise a rem edy, a suddenly declared foreign war would find the federal navy seriously crippled for lack of officers.
 The adverse condition thus denoted is we'll understood among admiralties abroad, nor will the republic be cred ited by possible foes with a strong navy until this drawback shall have been removed. It will cost heaps Of money, and many reputation in public life will hang trembling in the balance while the process of real naval expan- sion is going on. But it must be done, unless American claims to sea power are to be chaff before the wind.
