fable ends II II is a defense. On the
ground of excuse the prosecution con-
cedes that this publication was honest
ly made In the belief that II was true.
II you find that the article is true you
have got to'acquit.
Now let us see the character OF this
paper (referring to Town Topics). Mr..
Shepard has told you that Colonel
Mann has stated that II was the nat
ural evolution of personal journalism.
II that Is true It ought to be applicable
to more than one daily paper In New
York whose trend is that way. There
is scarcely a morning paper that does
not print vile scandals and obscene
matter. I don't see what interest It
conseryes to publish such stuff. ] don't
see what interest articles relating to
adultery OF this or that person have
for you and me. Does II serve any use
full purpose? Is II other than filth? 1t
is there for no other purpose than that
OF paying dividends to stockholders.
The average newspaper is run from
the counting room standpoint Many
of the advertisements are but a cor
ruption found to induce quiet about
this. that or the other. This is not
pleasant statement to make. but II you
ask the average newspaper man why a
certain paper let up on a certain prop
osltion his reply will be; why don't
you see that advertisement Of SO and
so?' These papers haven't yet reached
the condition that this vile sheet has

KIDNEY TAKEN OUT.
Tiny Stone Removed and A. ~--an Re-
placed In Eody.

New York Jan 2J.-An operation
formed yesterday at Roosevelt hospital.
patient had been suffering for some
time with stone in the kidney. The
exact location of distractions Of this
sort is sometimes determined by the
X-ray before the etherization of the
patient The surgeon in charge of the
case decided to find the stone. which
was very small, by putting the organ
70 the rays after taking II out of the
body.
The patient, after being etherized
was laid face down. sweep of the
knife over the affected part revealed the
kidney. Within a minute the surgeon
had the kidney out as far as he could
get II readily. He held IL I'm his hand
and with the Horoscope found the al
most misoroscopic stone to which the
lance opened a channel. A moment
later the forceps gripped the little stone
and the attending doctors were inspect
ing 1t.
Within about seven minutes after
the first stroke of the knife the kidney
had been put back in place and the lips
OF the slit in the back sewed together.
Fifteen minutes later the patient was
back in his room.
The operation is said to be one Of the
first in which an affected organ has
been searched by X-rays after removal
from the body. Its quickness and thor
oughness It was said by a doctor pres
ent, were assurances of its success.
The same doctor said he did not see
why the liver, or some other vital or
gans, could not be examined in the same
thorough manner. The operation SEEM
ed to him to presage splendid possibil-
tiles in surgery.
