THE MAN WHO CAUSED THE

Discharge Precipitated the Trouble.

IRON me Ne10 YORK. sun.
DALLAS, TEX, April 4.-Amoug the
men in humble circumstances who have
been thrust into sudden notoriety
by the strike on the Gould South
western system is Charles A. Hall,
the former foreman Of the passenger
car repair shops OF the Texas and Pacific
railroad at Marshall. IL was he whose

roads. They DISCHARGED our brother and
we struck. tor you know our MOTTO is,
IAN injury to one Is the concern Of all,"
WAS the telegram from the Marshall
Knights of Labor to Mr.. P0wderly.
Mr.. Hall is a native Texan, born
in BraZ0ria county in 1850.
He was reared on Cult
/ coast plantation. His parents were we'll
tO-dO people, and. had il not been tor the
late war, he would probably never have
been in the employ of the Gould South
western or any other railroad system.
The war, however, broke up his home,
and was The financial ruin OF his father,
and instead of lead NJ a life of leisure
young Han was destined to become a
hard-working machinist. 1t is to his
credit that he is regarded "a a tirst-class
mechanic among his brother craftsmen.
He is a tine specimen Of physical man
boob feet 10 inches high, weighs $50
pounds, and has sandy hair, a small
/ blonde mOustaChe and side wbjs kers. He
is modest in demeanor and refined In con-
versation. his early training and advau-
tages having made him superior in educa.

associates. He is regarded as "A conserva.

In Baneo. April Term, 1856.
NAKuAIslANo VS.. AcHo1

BEFORE JUDD, c. j., M'CUJLY AND PRESTON, ia.
Opinion of the Court per JUDD c..
This case began in the District Court of
Waialua, Oahu, and came by appeal of plain
tiff to the Intermediary Court of Oahu, thence
by appeal of plaintiff again, to the Supreme
Court with jury at the Jsnuary Term, 1856.
The jury rendered verdict for plaintiff A
motion for new trial on, the ground that tho
verdict was contrary to law and evidence was
heard and denied by the presiding Justice.
Defendant entered his exceptions and his bill
was allowed.
Plaintiff now moves that the exceptions be
dismissed on the ground that they were not
properly perfected.
BY THE CoURT.-Tbe rule of Court (new
rule VIII, March 18th, 1885, reads; "Any
person excepting to the ruling OF the justice,
denying or granting the said motion (for new
trial on the ground that the verdict is contrary
to evidence) must present his bill of except
ions to the said justice for allowance within
ten days from the rendition Of such ruling,
by paying costs and giving bond for further
costs, etc.
The bond thus required was mol filed.
Counsel for defendent show the Court the
bond filed by him to perfect the motion for q
new trial before the single justice. This bond
is to the plaintiff and it conforms to the former
part of the rule, being conditioned not to dis
pose of his property to the detrimeut of the
plaintiff, and it provides for the payment Of all
costs TO accrue. But it is not the bond re-
quired by the rule, which should be to the
Clerk OF the Court for the further costs to ac-
crue. A new bond is required by the rule by
the party failing before the single justice.
The exceptions are dismissed. --fI

On Demurrer
The Hawaiian gazette., 1886-05-04
After assembling this morning At the he usual 81 he

gious as when it takes the tuburcular form
as manifested by mucous patches and
Ulcers There is but one opinion among
the physicians on the Islands on the sub
iect. and that is that the disease is both
contagious and hereditary.
Hereditary leprosy develops in children
between the ages of five and seven years.
This is thought to be guide as to the
period of incubation in acquired cases.
As for the treatment of leprosy on the
Islands, it has not been more or less sue
cessful than the treatment of the disease
in other countries. The medical pro
fession has simply to acknowledge that it
has never cured single ease-not rella-
BILE record can be found to-day OF single
cure. No claim is made for any cure
among the Hawaiians.
ALI remedies which have been tried
from time to time elsewhere, have been
tried there, and every new therapeutical
proposition experimental with. No remedy
has exerted any specific action. Some are
of undoubted value in strengthening the
constitutional powers and in retarding for
time the progress of the disease. Also
good diet and favorable hygienic surround
ings help to lengthen the span of leper
life. But sad indeed is the fate of a
leper-before him opens out miserable
existence of gradual decay, of helpless
imbecility and life of despair Thousand
times worse than death.
There is vague belief in the profession
that in some mysterious way a relation
exists between leprosy and syphilis. This
view is not maintained by any modern
dermatologists The microscope sine qua
mon of all modern investigation, has dem
onstrated that leprosy is a parasitic
disease In every case of leprosy the
bacillus leprn is obtained. On the other
hand, no bacteria or bacilli have been dis
covered in syphilis.
There are probably no two skin diseases
in which the differential diagnosis can be
made with greater certainty. But the
durability of syphilis and the non-cura-
bility of leprosy decides beyond any doubt
the distinct separability of the two diseases.
About ninety-fve per cent. under modern
treatment recover from syphilis. brtt INV
dismal the prospects of q liaper. Further
more, the quesaaiSs2a has been settled be-
yond DISPUTE that leper will contract
syphilis and with proper treatment re-
cover from it, while the original disease
goes ON and ends in death. No form of
elephantiasis has ever been known among
the Hawaiians,- Southern California Prac-
titioner.

Loprosy ON the Hawaiian Islands.
-. H--F~- - 800.
81 DIR. NJ. HAaAN.

BY DIR. NJ. HAdAN.
Leprosy is the Oldest known disease.
and numbers its years with history. The
Hebrews brought the affection with them
into Palestine, and the stringent provis-
ions of the Mosaic laws show how dread
full must have been its ravages and how
great the terror while it existed SO
strictly was the rule of segregation, OBJ
served that even kings afflicted with the
disease were expelled from their thrones
and shut out from society.
Syphilis had no history and no men
ton was made of it before the fifteenth
century An interesting account was
written of it at that time by monk in a
Latin poem. He expressed his dread of
the new disease, which spared neither lay
men or the holy churchmen and even in
vaded the precincts of the papal throne.
Leprosy on the Hawaiian Islands does
not differ from the biblical account of it
among the Hebrews. The same varieties
are recognized wherever the disease exists.
In truth, there is but oneleprosy ON earth,
no absolute line separates one variety
from the other. One form is inclined
more to the tubercular formations IN the
skin, while another especially affects the
nerves, producing anRsthesia and paraly-
sis. But symptoms of each variety are
blended and well marked in every indi-
vidual case.
All intelligent resident physicians that
have treated and watched the develop
ment of the disease from year to year, are
unanimously of the opinion that it is emf
nently contagious. DIR. Aiming, student
of Virchow and Koch, and gentlemen OF
high reputation as medical microscopic,
has spent three years studying leprosy in
Honolulu. He says in his report to the
Board OF Health, :" that the disease is de
pendent on the invasion of the body by a
microscopic germ bacillus Lepra)
which has the power to increase indefinite
" in the tissues" Therefore. he adds
1--WE must look upon every single leper as
hot bed of contagion. He breeds and
multiplies poison germ, and is on this
account dangerous. All such infected
persons should be segregated" DIR
Trousseau reported to the Government
authorities after twenty-five years expert
ence, that he believed leprosy contagious,
fully as much as syphilis, and says it ID
contagious by absorption or incubation
by the sbraded portions of persons of per
sons bodies coming in contact. DR.. T.
also believes that mosquitoes and flies are
possible messengers of the infection by
charging their bills with the deadly virus
on a leper sore and inoculating uncon
taminated persons. DR.. Emerson, born
on the islands, educated at Williams and
at the College of Physicians and surgeons,
New York, physician of skill and credit,
has had charge of the segregated lepers
on the island of Molokai, says, "leprosy
is assuredly contagious under the same
limitations as syphilis. In leprosy the
degree of contagiousness is dependent on
the external manifestations" When the
disease Is manifested simply by macula
spots or by anRsthesea, it is not so conta-
