Already the doctor sees reason to
condemn the generally accepted con
clusion that leprosy is incurable, and
places the highest importance upon the
adoption OF intelligent and persistent
efforts in remedial measures. But he
recognizes the fact that the early treat
ment Of the disease in its initial stages,
before the living cells have lost in any
great degree, their power OF resistance,
is likely 10 afford results far more favor
able than where the disease has begun
to interfere with the general health Of
the patient In view of such a propo-
sition and OF the fact which is not to
be overlooked that there are "numcr
Gus cases OF initial leprosy among the
rising generation" he has suggested
that proper asylum be constructed
for the reception and proper treatment
OF such. So important subject. even
though barely hinted at, should not go
without thorough and proper con
sideration At the hands Of the legis-
lature, nov in session. There are many
persons, but more especially children,
who though to general observation are
apparently healthy, are nevertheless
carrying about the latent germs OF the
disease, surely to be developed at some
future indefinite time, unless checked
by remedial N assures. Especially has
the late inspection of pupils tended to
develop the foregoing fact; and such
children as have been found To be
laboring under the slightest symptoms
OF the disease have been summarily
removed from school lin the majority
Of cases TO be returned to theii families
OF friends, though in others singulay
condemned to isolation among the ad-
yanced cases at Kakaako. Now, il
these incipient cases are dangerous 10
their associates at school, are they not
equally so to any and ns,y person
with whom they come in contact
The fact is. As Doctor Aiming says
"The danger to the community Is not
Iessencd by their removal from school

community from such sources OF the

THE REVEN UE MARINE.
Effective and Satisfactory Work OF the
Past Year.

WASHINGTON, d, c., December b.
The Chief OF the Revenue Marine, In his
annual report, shows the cost of conduct
ing the service for the year to have been
1851, 3ll, The significant fact Is noted
in connection with this, that the assessed
amount of fines upon vessels apprehend-
cd through the efforts Of the service dur
ing the year was almost as great as the
cost OF maintaining lt-amounting 10

The relief work Of the year excels that
OF any former year. Assistance was rem

vessels. Upon these vessels were 1910
persons, many of whose lives were i'm
perilled, and sixty-three were saved from

ice has been more than usually import
ant.
The Corwin, Captain Healy, cruised ex-
tensyely in the waters Of Alaska during
the past season. The work has been pro-
ductiye OF most gratifying results. The
traffic in rum by Illicit traders, and the
consequent decentralization and injury of
the native population, have been almost
entirely arrested on all the coasts. The
Alaskan work OF the revenue marine, 1t is
believed, could not now be abandoned
without serious injury to the country.
Recommendation is made for new and
larger vessels for service at the port OF
New York and Alaskan waters.

sided, stated that the object OF the met
Ing was TO receive the resignation of Mr..
Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson then read his
letter OF resignation, in which he said that
II was no longer consistent with his self
respect to hold the position OF secretary,
because of insidioas efforts on the part Of
certain members Of the Executive Com
mittee to make his Official life unpleasant.
He said that Governor Bowie, the Presi-
dent OF the club, had interiered TO lend
the Lorillard stable to horse owner for
occupation as winter quarters. 1t was
intended to have let the stable TO five
yearings from the West, and experience
showed that disease frequently broke out
among such horses in the spring On
this account he refused the stable TO the
party. Governor Bowie, in reply TO this
letter, stated that it would be best to ac-
cept Fergusons resignation. He charged
that Ferguson's rude and insulting treat
ment OF owners, risars and jockeys had
become so unbearable as to deter
many from bringing their stables

number Of alleged offcnses committed
by Ferguson, among which was that Fer.
guson had refused to exchange cOmpli-
mentary badges with members of the
Washington National Jockey Club, as
is the custom with all jockey clubs be-
cause he had been refused the office
of Secretary of that Club. The resig-
nation Of Ferguson was then voted
upon, and resulted in the clubs refusal
to accept it. Mr. Ferguson then arose
to reiterate his intention to resign, but
he was shouted down, and the meeting
adjourned

years ago the wife of George w. Haynes
died, leaving him two baby girls. He
was poor and had no means. He gave
one girl to a gentleman of this city,
Henry Schley now deceased, who adopted
her as his own. The girl is married to
Mr.. II. II imentz, the brewer. Her foster
'ather left her a snug fortune, estimated
1t $50, 900. The younger girl was placed
IN the Woodlawn Orphans Home, thence
she was adopted by some Missouri par
ties, bet subsequently returned to the
Woodlawn Home, and was then adopted
by Mr., and Mrs. Thomas Potter, OF Bay
llSs, Pike County, Illinois, and by them
raised to womanhood, Until now she
supposed herself to be their own daugh-
ter, Haynes having accumulated some
property, and Mrs. Ilimentz being de-
sirous of finding her sister, some months
ago began search, and yesterday Alice
Potter arrived here with her foster par
ents.
From the records of the Woodland
Home, she has been fully identified as the
daughter of Geo. w, Haynes, The meet

uUNTINGTON'S DEVICE,
How He Secured Block OF Shares in
Central Pacific.


New YORK, December S.--The second
trial of the suit by David Stewart, a re-
tired merchant, against Huntington, the
railway king, to recover $4,000 on a
transaction in Central Pacific stock was
begun yesterday before Judge Van Worst.
Jos. IL, Choate is the plaintiffs counsel,
and Roscoe Conkling and Francis N.
Bangs conduct the case for Huntington.
Mr.. Choate, in questioning the jury, asked
one of them whether he knew Jay Gould.
Mr.. Bangs remarked that II any Juror had
gained the impression that Gould, Sage or
Mills are concerned in the suit, he
wished to say that neither of
them had any thing to do
with 1t. Mr.. Choate, in his opening re-
marks to the jury, said he had reason for
asking If any of them had any relations
with Jay Gould. There was free ma
sonry of the moneyed lords, so that when
one was touched they all winked.
Stewart testified that in 1870 Hunting
ton desired to obtain 300 shares of Gen.
trail Pacific, which Stewart held. He
told Stewart that there were troubles in
the company, either that there was an
overissue of stock or danger of an over
issue, so that there would be sales at low
figures, and he wanted, while in his pow
or, to obtain for us good price for the
stock, and he would give par and inter-
est. II Is alleged that the stock went up

Words arose between the two musi-
clans, and Bell knocked Wadsworth
down Wadsworth then drew knife,
and Bell took heavy stick of wood from
the wood-box. Bell struck Wadsworth
over the head with the stick of wood and
Wadsworth stabbed Bell in the breast,
INJECTING a wound an inch deep and three
inches long near the heart, The two men
then clinched and fell together on the
floor. Members of the congregation tired
to separate them, but did not succeed un-
til both men were seriously injured.
Bells wounds. were at first thought to be
fatal. Wadsworth was arrested and held
