MOL0KAPS HERO MARTYR.
FATHER DAMIEN, THE LEPER PRIEST
AND HIS SUCCESSORS.

Some Account Of Leprosy-rts History, Its
Treatment and It's Extent-It Does Not
Flourish Us.alfy In Either Cool or Damp
Climates.
The recent death Of Father Damien, tho
"Hero Martyr Of Molokai, the prompt &C
ceptanoe Of his vacant place and work by
Father Lambert Conrady, who is doomed to
the same fate, and the appearance OF isolated
cases Of leprosy in America, have awakened
new interest in that dread disease. At the
beginning, the sad factm be acknowledged
that but little more is known Of its cause and
essential nature than was known when "Ghe-
hazi went forth leper as white as snow"
and when the Jewish law was 50 strict and 80
thoroughly enforced that even stricken
king had to abandon his throne and become
an outcast. But some important facts as to
prevention and possible cure, still more as to
alienation, have been discovered, and m this
line Father Damien did and suffere enough
to entitle him to immortality.
This devoted priest, whose portrait has but
Just reached America and is here given,
was Belgian, born Jan. 8, 1910; at the age Of
16 he devoted himself to cedbacy end good
works, and in 1860, when al Of manhood was
before him, he reached the Sandwich Islands
as missionary. On the 9th OF May, 1873,
he entered on his work as resident missionary
in the leper settlement, devoting bis life vol

Rosa, whose income from contributions has
been multiplied since he was shot. l have
taken great deal of pains to find out how
much has been given, first and last, to the
various funds for the destSucticD Of Eng.
land.
At the close of the civil war in 1865 Fen.
ianism under O'Mahony in this country, and
Stevens in iceland was in full blast. Offic} rs
In the Union and Confederate armies who
were Irish, or of Irish descent, joined the
Fenian ranks, end hosts of them were quietly
shipped over TO Ireland to work the organ
lied fighting material there into military
share These men were paid out Of the
Fenian treasury, according to the rates paid
to United States officers. Plans were
made, and the money was rapidly gath
>ed for the arming of tho "men in the gap"
It is said that at one time as much as SIC, 900
a day were poured into the treasury, out of
which Stevens got $1,000 day. The dis
ruption of the organization and the invasion
of Canada followed. The Fsnian Sisterhood
brought exactly $4,000 into the treasury,
Out of that 81, 900 came all the lamentations
over the robbery of the poor Irish servant
girls.
The bonds of the Irish Republicans are be-
lIeved to be the creation Of William r. Rob
erts. Killian's name Is affixed to them as
financial secretary, but it is said thsy were
already in existence when he joined the OF.
ganization. These bonds brought 1861, 900.
A. million dollars of them were Issued. All
the remainder over the $780,, 600 were found
by the investigating committee Of the Moffat
mansion, at the virtual close Of Fenianism,

Ford's more recent emergency fund amounts
altogether to 10000, and Rosa is under
,tood to have collected, within ten months,
about as much more.

clothes-wringers VIII Burst


"Why, yes, of course, clothes-w1ingers will
burst" said a Barclay street hardware
dealer, in reply to a reporters inquiry. "The
pressure on them when they are blockei
with wet clothes in a laundry or shirt factory
Is often enormous; but unless the boiler at
tached to them bursts too I don't see how
much damage can be done. Even the hand
machine sometimes bursts when the operator
tries to hasten the completion of her OVID
work by making the wringer do more than
its SHARE but except the probability Of her
being discharged 10y her mistress, if she has
one, or having to buy new wringer if she
owned the broken machine, don't think she
runs any risk of being hurt.
u can't imagine how the world would get
on now without wringing machines. OF
course it did SO once, and our clothes were
just as clean as they are to-day, and lasted
longer; but tie time has gone by whena
servant girl would wiring tubful of clothes
nearly dry, with her strong hands and nsvef
complain. Ask her to do half the work now
and hear what she viii say"

THE ClTY's CROWD.

Tho ci.y's crowd! What motley throug
OF people compose it, as to and fro,
Laughing or frowning, they hurry along:
On business intent;
On pleasure bent
Laughter with sounds of sobbing blent:
Where DO they come from-where do they gof
Where do they go when the day is donef
When the light with the gloom of night ID
blended,
And the twinkling stars
Through their lattice bars,
Each in his place, show one by one
Their crystal lanterns, God attended.
What are 'Aeir hopes, and what are their fearsf
How MAN. shall quaff from the cup succes'f
How many remember the burned out years
OF the past by its bitter wretchedness!
Mem'ries of hopes denied, and tears
Shed at the bier of loyelineSs
Backward and forward the city's crowd
Sweep ever and ever, a molly throng;
Pleasure in fine. y; woe in a shroud
OF black, meet and mingle and hurry along.
Hither and thither;
Whence from? and whitherf
How many shall live and how many shah
wither
Through the night, in the night,
When the day shall be ended,
And ;ts palld, cold light,
Into darkness be blended9

A Lucky Finn.
Duluth (Minn.) Tribune, July 16.

Duluth (Minn.) Tribune, July 16.
William Dalquist is the name of lucky
Finlander who at present is day laborer in
R. A. Gray's saw mill, at the West End. The
fact is, William, who has been in this coun-
try for six years or more and who has been
hard worker all his life, is one of the lucky
persons who drew "plum" at the drawing
of the Louisiana State Lottery held on June
18th last, he holding one-fortieth of ticket
''61 COS" which drew the capital prize of
$780, When Mr.. Dalquist was made
aware of his good fortune by statement in
the Tribune that that number was the lucky
one, he was everjoyed beyond measure and
was the recipient of many congratulations
from his numerous friends, and at the same
time not few were envious of his good for
tune. Mr.. W. A. Foote here Immediately
offered Dalquist S14 800 for his little slip of
paper, but William thought he would do his
own cashing, and thus save the 500, which
he has done. As soon as he can make ar
rangements he will at once proceed to Fin
land, where his father and mother, who are
poor people, live. The $4,000, Mr.. Dali
quist says will be more than enough to keep
his parents, himself and one of Finland's
falrest daughters (Which latter was said
with slight distortion of the facial muscles,
tending to SMILEY for the rest of their days.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Colonel o. II. Brown, who for the
past two years has had charge of the
freight claims in the general freight
Office of the Santa Fe, has been ap-
pointed assistant general freight agent
of the Santa Fe road, with headquarters
at Topeka to take effect August LIST.
Topeka Capital: It is now claims
that the north and south line of rail-
road which it is evidently designed to
build through the state of Kansas at
once, and of which the Hutchinson.
Oklahoma & Gulf forms part, is an
enterprise of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific. Articles of incorporation of
the Omaha, Lincoln & Gulf railway were
filed with the secretary of state at Lin
coin, Neb., the nominal incorporators
being Geo. L. Rhochs, G. A. Walkup.
J. L. DeBevoise, B. Silloway and M. P.
O'Brien. Rhochs turns out to be right
of-way agent of the Rock Island road,
and G. A. Walkup is vice president of
the Oklahoma & Gulf railway, and De
Bevoise is a local ticket agent of the
Rock Island. The plan is to build from
Omaha to Hutchinson, and there con-
meet with the Oklahoma road, now built
and then construct to the gulf. Mime
apolis was visited last week by Mr..
Beatty, representing the Hutchinson,
Oklahoma & Gulf railroad, and the
Omaha, Kansas & Southern railroad,
who submitted proposition for the
building of north and south line of rail
road through the state, making por-
ton of through line from Omaha to
the Gulf of Mexico. His proposition
is that the county vote $4,000 per mile
and the city of Minneapolis $4,000
Where there is so much smoke there
must be fire, and north and south line
is one of the things which may be ex-
pected in the near future. The speed
with which the H. o. G. division was
built savors strongly of Rock Island
construction methods.

Paris beauties are wearing sandal
shoes with their Empire and Directoire
gowns.
The stockings must match the color
of the evening gowns worn at dressy
balls and receptions.
A half-mourning costume for even
ing is of black silk net, with insertion
of gauzy material worked in white silk.
The features of fashionable toilets
for evening wear are small, low hats,
low coiffures, undraped skirts, no
bustles, full sleeves, and wide belts.
There is return to white lace for
the throat and sleeves of bodices, even
for afternoon wear Even with high
corsages many lace jabots are seen held
here and there. by jeweled pins.
With gowns of black lace and net,
pointed Swiss girdles of big jet beads
are worn. These girdles should be
worn only about slender waists, as they
increase the size of large one and
take off from the length.
Charming pins for use with theater
bonnets and the airy lace and ,ulle
structures called spring hats" are
long, narrow-bladed gold and silver
swords. The blades may be twelve
inches long, and are generally as fine
as straws.
Berlin ladies are wearing dresses in
a color called spirit fame" tint
| formed of the blended shades of red,
blue, and violet. The same color has
been worn in New York and Chicago
| for six months. Here it is known as
"punch-fame" blue.
A fashionable writer says that on the
other side every ornament usually
made in other stones is now seen in
garnets; brooches, pins, bracelets,
combs, earrings, rings, and necklaces,
and, in addition, very pretty picture
frames in various sizes.
The black, white, and vari-colored
tulle dresses, which are taking the
place of the lace gowns heretofore con-
sidered an Indispensable part of a
lady's wardrobe effects, are made of a
coarse, strong tulle net, either plain,
dotted, beaded. or embroidered.
Young English women are wearing
the nuns cap" sort of bonnet, which
has to be viewed from the back to be
seen at all, as nothing is visible from a
front view when the capote is on the
wearer's head except forest of very
fluffy, haloish-looking hair and some

The singular fact is mentioned that,
while in Great Britain building opera
tions are suspended on the slightest
approach of frost, bricklaying is car
ried on in Norway during almost the
coolest weather that prevails for any
time. Thus, in Christiania, building
during the winter months, it is stated,
has now been practiced for at least
twelve years, but more frequently dur
ing the last five, all the buildings thus
erected having stood remarkably well.
According to the opinion of the princi
pal builders in Christiania, bricklayers'
work, executed with due care in win
ter, is really superior to similar work
done In summer-the whole art of such
work In frosty weather consisting SIM
ply in the use of unslacked lime, the
mortar prepared with which is to be
made in small quantities Immediately
before use, the proportion of lime be-
ing increased as the thermometer falls
the only care required is to utilize the
unslacked lime so handily and quickly
as to enable the mortar to bind with
the bricks before it cools. Another
very important condition is that the
bricks be always kept covered on the
