DR. HL rant II
Famous Surgeon Noted For
Love to Mankind.
BODY ON WAY TO NEW YORK
Ead Came at Savannah After He
Had Battled For Months
With Canoer of the
Tongue.
Now York, Feb. 23. The death at
Savannah of Dr. William T. Bull, the
most eminent American Burgeon, has
caused mourning among thousands In
this city. Dr. Bull's body Is on its way
here for interment.
Dr. Bull was as noted for his love to
mankind and for the generous aid he
cave to the poor as for his talent in
his profession. He attended thousands
without charging any fee.
Neither would he charge an exorbi
tant fee when his patient was a mil
llonalre. The story Is told of an operation for
appendicitis that he performed on one
of the great -railroad and financial
magnates of this city. The operation
was highly successful, and the patient
received a bill for $500, Dr. Bull's ordi
nary fee for that sort of operation.
Some of his professional friends re
monstrated with him, saying that he
. should hnvc sent a bill for $5,000. To
them 'Bull snld In his quiet way:
"Why should I charge a rich man
any more than a poor one? I made my
regular charge for the operation and.
see no reason why I should distinguish
between this rich man and another
man possessed of less money. I would
try as hard to save the poor man's life
hb I would a rich one's."
The humanity of the surgeon is illus
trated by nn incident in his career
which came to light through. qrmtber
physician. " ' V
Late at night a young doctor from
the east.sldo went to-Dr. Ball's home
sad told him. that his-skill was needed
ri HftVf tKft.Hte. eit , n Vnnnir Jtnrlah.trlpl
afflicted with appendicitis.
Dr. Bull went to the' home of the
girl. It was in a tenement house. She
lay on the floor on a bundle of rags.
The family' had not tasted food In two
days.
Taking off his coat and rolling up
his sleeves, Dr. Bull turned au Ice box
into nn operating table, operated on
the girl, 'stayed In the house till the
patient was out of Immediate danger
and saw that food was brought for
the family.
The father of the girl In his great
gratitude for the surgeon's kindness
took from his pocket n quarter, nil the
mouey he had In the world, and prof
fered It to the great physician, and
Dr. Bull, realizing the spirit In which
the money had been offered and too
tender to refuse it, accepted the quar
ter and placed it In his pocket.
"I hadn't the heart to refuse it," he
said afterward.
On May 30, 1803, Dr. Bull married
Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., whose first
husband was the son of James G.
Blaine, secretary of state, senator and
Republican candidate for the presiden
cy. She had obtained a divorce from
her husband and was about to go
upon the stage when rheumatism in
tin acute form seized her. Dr. Bull
was called In to treat her and succeed
ed In restoring her to health.
Before her marriage to Mr. Blaine
the present Mrs. Bull was Marie Kev
ins, the daughter of Colonel Richard
Kevins, for twenty-five years the own
er of tbo Ohio Statesman.
Dr. Bull's late illness wns of some
months' duration. Last July he wns
operated upon for cancer. During the
month of October he was at death's
door, and all hope of saving his life
was given up by the attending physi
cians. Ills vitality was such, however, that
he had frequent rallies. He was re
moved to a hotel In this city and about
n month ago wns taken to Savannah.

Ancnt Good Roads.
Tito Scientific American of Oct. 24th
has a sensible and timely article upoa.
the maintenance of roads which is
worthy of general attention. "In the
present campaign of good roads educa
tion," it says, "more attention should
be paid to the vital function of road
maintenance. Our present system of
building a first class road and then let
ting it go to ruin as fast as wind, weath
er and traffic can wreck it, if. the height
of folly and extravagance' The ar
ticle contrasts this wasteful American'
system with the careful repairing of
European roads. The European system
is the keeping up of roads by constant
work. Repairs-are in progress all the
time by skilled workmen. The solitary
road repairer, with his wheelbarrow,
pick and shovel, and a little pile of
broken stone and topdressing, is a fa
miliar sight on the roads in the progres
sive countries of Europe. Each section
of a road is in charge of a repairer, and
is inspected .by him daily. On detecting
a low spot, where water may collect, he
makes immediate repairs.
The Home-Coming.
The great American battle ship fleet
arrived home and has been reviewed
by President Roosevelt. The trip cov-
erea miles ; took one year, two
months and six days, and cost $20,000,
000. The spectacular effect was Roose
veltian. The nations of the earth know
us in a greater measure than ever, and
we hope that if any country had sinister
designs on our peace and welfare, that
we have demonstrated that we can hold
our end up in a fight or a frolic.
