Taft To Resiun.

The story that William II. Taft will
resign as secretary of war on his re-
turn from the Philippines is revived
in Washington. The Washington
Herald, which is usually In close touch
with the plans of the members of the
cabinet, says editorially that there is
good reason for believing that after
Taft has performed his duty toward
the Philippine assembly, his resigna-
ton as secretary of war will be an
nounced. Thereafter, continues the
Herald's editorial, Taft. private citizen
and presidential candidate, will have
a free hand and, with or without the
support of President Roosevelt will
make his own appeal to the country.

Deaths from x-Rays.

The death of Dr. Weigel, surgeon
Of Rochester, from a disease due to
the constant use of the X-rays makes
the fourth who has lost his life from
this cause, says the Chistian Advo-
cate.
The others were an assistant of
Thomas Edison, a Boston physician
and woman of San Francisco named
Fleischman. In the case of DR.. Wei
gel since 1904, when his right hand
and all but the thumb and a finger
OF the left hand were removed, there
had been four operations in trying
to save his life. The first removed
a part of the right shoulder; then
part of the muscles covering the right.
breast.
Mystery completely envelops the
cause of death, the disease being un-
known to medical science, though it
is believed TO involve some great prin-
ciple of life. DR.. Weigel was presi-
dent of the Rochester Academy Of
Medicine and the American Ortho-.
paedic society.
