in with the most brilliant hopes, and for
awhile those who could avoid sweltering

over the spirit of the bonifaces dreams,
however, for chilling blasts came tearing
down from the North and with rare ex-

A SAN Francisco doctor named
O'Donnell is making things lively in New
York and is having a great deal of fun
al by himself. O'Donnell recently went
on there from the Coast. He PROCESSES
to be philanthropist and even without
being accused of it freely and frankly ad-
rnits it For some time he has advocated
the,idea that the best way in which to
c the exclusion of the Chinese was
to publicly exhibit the lepers which seem
to abound among that race. He argued
that the sight of one horribly manned
aid disfgured leper would do more to
prejudice the American people against
the Mongolians than all the specious
arguments that could be uttered.
About two months ago the doctor pro-
claimed that he was about to start East
with several lepers under his care. These
he announced he would exhibit in
every town along the route, and finally
horrify the world with the leprous spect-
aeles on the steps of the nations capitol.
Circulars and newspaper articles were in
dustriously sent all over the country, ac-
e~pmpanied with sketches said to be life,
showing faces dis6gured out of all
semblance of humanity. After n little
while the deluge suddenly ceased.
The next thing heard Of the doctor he
was in New York City importuning
the Mayor to be allowed to exhibit his
monstrosities from the steps of City
Hall. Since then the doctor has been a
prominent figure in New York. He is
followed day and night by a small army of
newspaper reporters, who brilliantly and
i~maginatively picture his sayings and do
ings. His movements are as carefully
watched by the police aud detectives as if
he were a suspected dynamiter
in. Merrie England. When the
doctor takes it into his head TO visit the
railroad yards half of his audience are de-
t~ectives. He has given it out that his
lepers are confined in freight ear with
special interior accommodations. Should
he happen to gaze abstractedly on a
passing freight car it is Immediately quar-
antined and carefully disinfected and bro
ken open.
The doctor ) talk about the lepers is Of
course all .bosh. IL took none of these
u~nfortunates away trn-I San Francisco
with him and the Eastern public is being
gulled in a very audacious manner Still
the doctor is having a very pleasant time
and enjoying life just as much as if New
York were overrun with lepers.

i tell you what is. sir. the public don't

Third avenue car to a reporter. 1T isn't

are the chilblains, from which not one In
ten Of the drivers on the line escape.
We are compelled 10 stand from ten 10
seventeen hours a DAY at work, and ia sum
mer and winter we suffer from the mac
ton. The impeded circulation Of the
blood due TO long standing brings on a
train of symptoms to which chilblains are
a triie. Even In warm weather a few
weeks standing is almost sure TO bring on
a swelling of the legs with persistent pains
in the feet, followed by numbness in the
legs and ultimately partial paralysis. 1

feet eight hours a day clerking in u dry

A physician who had his attention called
TO this matter said TO the reporter: The
constant gravitation Of the blood and other
fluids to the lower extremities. and the
drivers habit of standing with their weight
thrown on their heels, are The reasons Tor
this lamentable state Of things. The result
is that the perpetual jar and jolt
ing of the car are transmitted
by direct vibration along the
bones Of the leg and thigh TO the spinal
column that continues and rests ON them
In the first stage Of the disease resulting
from this source the man becomes irritable
aud nervous without being able to assign
any reason for It. A little later he has
dun pains in the lumbar region, and an in
tolerable sense of weight in the legs. The
immediate cause Of these symptoms is con

In conversation with Il number OF
drivers the reporter found that a majority
of them were suffering from the effects Of

PEELED to wear bandages. Many Of them
also suffer from the symptoms of ~varicosity
and spinal irritation, and some medical
