MEASURES FOR SURPRISING
EPROSY


In resuming the subject of yester-
days leading article, we suggest the
adoption of the following measures,
for the suppression of leprosy and
for the benefit of the unfortunate
lepers:
First,-The prompt removal to
Molokm of considerable number
of confirmed and hopeless cases now
confined in the branch hospital at
Kakaako. These people are not
suitable subjects for the latter insti-
tuition, and should not be allowed to
cumber the wards, while hundreds
of lepers are at large outside, many
of whom if placed in the hospital,
might be favorable cases for treat
ment.
Second, The enlargement of the
accommodations within the present
hospital enclosure, by the erection
of additional buildings, so that at
least two hundred patients could be
comfortably accommodated therein.
We say the present hospital ell
closure, assuming that it must re-
main where it now is.
Third, The arrest and segrega-
ton, rs fast as prudence and human
ity will allow, Of all the lepers now
at large: the advanced cases to be
sent direct to Molokai, and those in
the incipient stages or concerning
whom there is any doubt, to be de-
tained in the branch hospital for OBJ
servation and treatment. Were the
lepers now at large once collected
and disposed Of, with tolerable
thoroughness, and the matter
Systematically followed up, the
branch hospital with accommoda-
tions for two hundred patients is all
that would be required for those in
what may be called the stage of pro-
baton, at any one time.
Fourth, The improvement Of the
accommodations and administration
at Kalawao, so that the settlement
should, as far as possible, be made
to appear to the native mind as a
place of refuge and comfort, rather
than one of exile and death. For
this purpose it is necessary that
there should be much larger
amount of direct personal super
vision from some competent head,
than is possible under the present
arrangement. Systematic medica-
ton and remedial measures of
various kinds should be freely fur
nished to all who are willing, or who
can be induced, to accept them.
Aside from any treatment directed
to the cure or amelioration of lep-
rosy, it is evident that such an ag-
gregation of diseased humanity re-
quires the constant presence of an
intelligent and well-organized medi-
cal service, for the relief of their
various incidental ailments. I'm
questionably the best, and in fact
the only way of satisfying these re-
quiremcnts is by the appointment
of resident medical superintcn-
dent, with ample powers and liberal
pay, to reside constantly at the set
tlement. The presence and super
vision of such an official, enjoying
the confidence of the Government
on the one hand and the good will
of the patients on the other, would
secure the adoption of many i'm
provements and reforms in matters
of detail not strictly medical.
Our limited space will not admit
of our going more into detail, at
present. We feel sure that the fore.
going ideas are sound, and that they
cannot fail to secure the approval of
all persons who will give the subject
their serious and candid considera-

POWDER MILL EXPLOSION!
ONE - TME EMPLOY.S OF d.
PONrB row DER MILLsRxLLEA a.

About five minutes before seven
O'Clock this morning q loud explosion
was heard which shook the city max
ing tho windows rattle. Nearly every
body surmised at once that one of Du-
points Powder mills had exploded on
else that young earth quake from the
South had reached the city. Necks
were craned in the direction OF Dn-
POINTS Banks to zee some Indications Of
white column of smoke that genera ly
followed explosions but the wind being
the wrong way the smoke was not dis
cernible.
An hour or so afterwards however
persons coming to the city from the
banks brought the news that one Of ths
trolling" powdergmills ia the, Il agley
yard had exploded with terrible force
mangling Daniel Dougherty who had
charge of the mill in such a horrible
manner that his death was momeatarily
expected when the informant of the
REPuBLICAN left. Besides the fatal
wounding of Dougherty very httlo
other damage was done The roof was
lifted from the building and thrown
across the Brandywine and the stone
walls were considerably cracked.
From the fact that bar of iron used
in changing the mill was found inside,
1T is supposed that Dougherty let the
bar fall amongst the powder.
The body Of Dougherty torn and
mangled was thrown outside the Iaill.
The top and back Of his head was .
mass of bruises and sores. A physi-
clan was sent for but no hopes were On
tertained that he would live until the
doctor arrived. Dougherty is native
OF lnvershone, Donegal, Ireland, 62
years or age, and has been in the en-
ploy OF the Messrs Dupont's ever since
ne came to this country, ~ years ago.
He has wife and seven or eight child
reI who live in FLEET Park row.

James Brown, Jr., residing at Stan.
ton, Del, having reached the tenth an
nj versary of his welded life, celebrated
the event last evening, at his residence,
by inviting a large number of his
friends to be- present on the occasion.
About fifty persons responded to the
invitation and celebrated the event in
royal style, making the old house fairly
ring with their merriment. Mr.. Brown
entertained the company with some
choice selections on the violin, which
were highly appreciated. The company
were also highly entertained by Mr..
Browns two small daughters, who
danced several difficult feats to the
tune of the violin. During the evening
refreshments were served in abundance,
and from the way the very tempt
ing visnds disappeared the company
fully enjoyed the set-out. Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown were the recipients of .
large number of useful and valuable
presents. Those present did not contine
their presents exclusively to tin.ware,
but several valuable gifts in silver
we're brought as token of esteem. At
a late hour the company took their de-
parture, all wishing Mr.. ard Mrs.
Brown many more happy wedding an
niversaries.

In the U. S. Senate yesterday, Mr.. Ed

under existing laws, to put down the

the Judiciary Com mittee resulted in q

and Messrs. Call and George spoke in
favor of the measure, after which it
went over. The bill to establish q

and Mr.. Davis, of Illinois, by whom ID
was introduced, spoke at length in ex-
plana!ion and advocacy of its provis-
ions. The bill was then informally laid

Smallest Baby in tho Wer2d.


A gentleman from Candelaria, New.
informs us that the smallest baby in the
world WAS born in that camp at noon
on the Sd instant. The father is in the
employ Of the Northern Belle Mine, and
weighs 100 pounds. The mother Is .
stout, healthy woman, weighing per-
haps 100 pounds. The child IS q male.
as perfectly formed as any living being
could be but upon its birth 1t only
weighed eight ounces. Its face is
about the size of horse chestnut and
the size of its limbs can be imagined
" hen we say that ring worn on the
little finger of its mother was easily
slipped over its foot nearly to the knee.
Our informant states that it was tho
opinion of the attending physician that
the child would live and prosper in
good health, Notwithstanding its dim.
inutive proportions. The midget is 80
small that three Of its size could play
hide and seek in cigar box. This il
believed to be the smallest baby ever
born.
