NEW OFFICERS IN APRIL

In order to give the inmates better
care and medical attention, the Board
Of Trustees Of the New Castle County
Hospital az Farnhurst have decided 10
have a resident physician at the hos
pital' who viii he there at an times.
and at their next meeting will appomt
a doctor to fil this position.
Or. II. w. Briggs has been the county
physician who is supposed 10 be the
resident physician OF the hoard. but
under the present laws he IS not re-
quired TO be az the hospital an the
time.
Or. Briggs has visited the institution
frequently and done excellent service.
and at the meeting yesterday no one
was nominated to fill his position. He
is therefore out Of this office now. but
not because OF any lack OF duty. inc
ability or inattention on his part. The
trustees think 81 would be better to
have doctor at the hospital an the
time, and for this reason DR.. Briggs
was not returned as county physician.
Some young physician willing to accept
the position at a reasonable salary will
probably get the position.
The board, at the session yesterday
afternoon, was occupied chiefly in pro-
viding funds for the transportation OF
/ poor people from this county to their
homes in other parts of the country
Mr.. Jester, OF this city was authorized
to have colored family that Is in des-

MISSION OF MERCY
MAY KILL PHYSICIAN
Falls Victim to the Disease He Under
took to Fight.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.--A martyr to
the perils which he bravely confronted
while engaged in his mission Of mercy
in caring for patients suffering from
contagious diseases, DR.. Earle Phillips
of the surgical stan of Bellevue Hos
pital. was taken to Willard Paraker
Hospital dangerously ill OF diphtheria.
Dr. Phillips. who is one Of the young
est members Of the staff gladly ac-
cepted the assignment TO the contagion
wards two weeks ago. He had To deal
with erysipelas, diphtheria and othci
equally contagious diseases. but he en-.
tered upon his task fearlessly, even
gladly. He wanted to make a record
for himself by curing the most danger
Gus cases. It is believed he overtaxed
his strength and was, therefore, more
easily a victim when attacked.
DR.. Somerset. Of the Board Of Health.
was summoned to attend DR.. Phillips
two days ago. 1t was quickly seen that
the patient was in a serious condition,
and that dread diphtheria was the
cause. Every precaution attended his
removal last night to Willard Parker
Hospital.
This is the second time that DR.
Phillips has been stricken while on
duty. He refused 10 take a vacation
last summer because OF the need Of his
services during the hot months when
the hospital was crowded with sick
He was ordered 10 the country and inn
mediately fell III there Of typhoid fe'
yer. A special train was ordered and
he was brought from Savannah, y. Y.
to the hospital, where tho older sur-
Feons. who greatly admired his cour-
age gave him every attention.
