POLICE LAUDED BY
THE HEALTH OFFICER
Prompt Action in Dealing With Small
pox Patient.

DR.. William c. Woodward. the Health
officer. has warmly commended the ac-
tion of the station officials OF the Fourth
police precinct. in taking care Of Joseph
Nesbitt. suspected OF having smallpox.
Nesbitt. it appears. went to the station
house and made application for per
nit to enter a hospital The desk ser
geant suspected the man had smallpox
and he was sent home under guard until
the Health Department could be com
municated with. DR.. Woodward thinks
this action eminentIy praiseworthy.
In this connection the Health officer
has asked the Commissioners to deter
mine whether any of the appropriation
for the relief OF the poor is available 10
defray the expense OF the examination
chemically OF specimens of sputa from
poor patients. to facilitate the early
diagnosis OF possible cases OF tuber-
culosis of the lungs. The promptcst
diagnosis is necessary in such case, DIT.
Woodward says. not only for permitting
proper steps to be taken by the patient
and his attendants for the protection Of
the community at large, but especially
of the household in which the patient
happens 20 reside
Such diagnosis at an early stage of
consumption will permit the institution
Of rational treatment at the time when
there is the greatest opportu-
nifty for cure. There is no
fund at the disposal of the
Health Department from which the ex-
pense of such examinations can be paid,
and Dr. Woodward suggests it may be
possible to have this work done in con-
junction with certain meteorological
work in connection with scarlet fever
and diphtheria and the disinfecting
service il a reasonable allowance be
made from the appropriation for the
relief of the poor.

WILL RECOVER FROM
WOUND NEAR HEART
Remarkable Case of Victim
OF Accident.

lowering between life and death for
over week. Thomas II. wilIett. who
accidentally shot himself near the hear.
has recovered to such an extent that
his ultimate recovery is now looked for
by the physicians Of the Emergency Hos
Dital. where he is confined.
From the beginning this case has been
productive OF a number OF extraordi-
nary features. When Willett was first
admitted 10 the hospital. a superficial
examination Of the wound was made
disclosing that the ball had pierced the
flesh directly over the heart. Ii was
evident. however. that the lead had not
entered this organ. In consequence. the
physicians were greatly puzzled.
Failing to solve the mystery. the doc
tors called the x-rays into use TO ex-
plain the marvel. With the aid of the
powerful light, the course of the missile
could be plainly seen. The rays showed
that the bullet had taken a slightly
downward path after entering the body.
and penetrating the pericardium. or
sack enveloping the heart. It was seen
that the ball had just grazed the apex Of
the vital organ. lodging in the flesh be-
tween the seventh and eighth ribs.
After making this thorough examina-
ton. the physicians pronounced the
case an unusual one. Ninety-nine times
in hundred, similar injury would
have proven fatal. But in spite OF pre-
cedents. the patient rapidly gained
strength and there is now every indi-
cation that he will recover.

Mr.. Hanson. who leaves today for
Roanoke. TO accept a more lucrative po-
sition. was escorted into the private Of
fee OF Chief Clerk McManus. F. H
Fegan acted as spokesman. and in max
ing the presentation said:
Gathered around are a few OF your
friends and admirers. They have hon
ored me as spokesman on this occasion.
1t is needless for me to make extended
remarks, as il Will suffice for you TO look
around and see the faces of those assem-
bled and note the expressions of good
feeling. We all wish you abundance OF
success in your new field. I take great
pleasure in presenting you this token of
our esteem and regard for you aud
yours"
Mr.. Hanson was speechless for mo 20
mcnt. Recovering himself, however, he
said:
My Friends: You simply overwhelm
me with your esteem. I can hardly fra
words TO express my gratitude. II L had
been the means in any way of bringing
about this, IL is certainly gratifying to
me. I certainly never anticipated any
such lavish memento in my connection
with the Southern Railway
The affair was in charge OF a com
mittee. composed OF p. L. McManus and
Joseph Clark The service is valued at
$500 and was specially designed by
Csstelberg- After the presentation, the
service was removed TO Mr. Hanson's
home, where he entertained a few
friends last night A number of mes
sages were received from the general
officers now in the South on business,
paying high tribute to SIR. Hansons eff
cheney and expressing their regret a

ment of death were his wife, three

Mr. Hewitt, who had been in feeble
health for some time. was attacked by
obstructive iaundice on Jan s. and
from the first it was realized by his
attending physicians, DR.. l.. keyes and
DR.. L. Reyes. Jr., that there was prac-
tically no hope of the aged patient S
recovery On the following Sunday it
was thought that Mr.. Hewitt could not
survive the night, and the members OF
his family were summoned to his bed
side. but his wonderful vitality kept
him alive for week longer Or
Thursday, Mr.. Hewitt rallied so strong
ly that some hope was entertained that
he might recover, but on the following
night a relapse occurred and it became
evident that the end was not tar on.
slight improvement was noted on
Saturday morning but late that even
ing the physicians notified Mr.. Hewitt's
son. Peter Cooper Hewitt. that death
was imminent, and the other children.
Edward Hewitt, Erskin HEWITT Mrs.
]. O. Green, Miss Sarah Hewitt and
Miss Eleanor Hewitt, were summoned.
and with their mother remained by
the bedside until the end. The funeral
services. which will be conducted by
Bishop Potter will be held in Calvary

vice known in the days of corrupt
primaries was employed. Not until q

from the room a body of 800 men who
threatened the judges and clerks OF

an early hour in the morning. Before
they arrived. however. one man was
seriously injured and score more re-
ceived bruises of more or less conse'
quence During the progress Of the

robbed by pickpockets. The intro
duotion of political issues into the
election is said TO be responsible for
the trouble.
