TREATED FOR LEpRosY.


A Hamburg Physician Claims to Have Ise.
| fectod Cure
Nine months ago San Francisco was
much excited over the case OF little
Minnie Scholtz. OF the Hawaiian Isl.
nnds, who arrived there In charge OF
her father, on her way to Germany, to
see II certain physicians in Hamburg
could cure her OF leprosy. 1t was
thought the child had Inherited the
disease from her mother, who was a
native OF the islands. The father, Cap
tain Fred Scholtz, had money and was
determined to save the little girl be-
fore the disease became firmly settled.
The fact that the child was afflicted
with the terrible disease was not known
until she had been landed. and to avoid
trouble the father left secretly for New
York and there took the steamer for
Hamburg. He left the girl at Ham.
burg under the care OF DR.. Unna, who
felt confident he had effected cure.
He said OF the process: "My child
was first subjected to electrical treat
ment, going over every part OF the body.
The tedious labor developed the pres
ence OF the disease in the hands and
left check and slightly in the ears
After they had rubbed my little girl
with some powerful ointment, follow
ing 1t up by covering her with brown
plaster, they also gave her a large
quantity OF medicine internally. This
treatment seemed to bring out the
disease fully. Next, the girl was again
anointcd with an oily substance, and
once more covered with plaster, but
this time itwas white. When that was
removed the skin began to fall off in
fakes, and u new and healthy skin ap.
peared beneath it. remained there
three months. and when / left my
child she was almost cured. and
the doctor assured me she would be
entirely vol In u very short time. I
am very much overjoyed at the result
OF the doctors work, and have left the
girl In Hamburg. so that she can be
under the Doctors care. / also intend
leaving her there for a term OF years
to be educated. While was stopping
at Hamburg member Of the royal
family OF Brazil came there TO be treat
ed for leprosy, and. although advanced
in years, he was much improved when

THE ICE QUESTION.

As the season is near at hand for
parties to make contracts for their
supply of ice, IL would be well for
them TO give more attention than
usual to the question of the purity of
the article. Only within a few years
has the fact come to the general
knowledge of the public that great
deal of the ice in common use is prac-
tically poisonous. There was wild,
popular delusiou, long entertained
that no matter how bad the water
might be when il was once frozen 1t
must be purified. The theory was
very simple, that freezing was puri-
flying process, and that ice itself
might be accepted as tho emblem of
purity.
Tue fact is that the worst poispns
which we encounter in our water
supplies are preserved by freezing
aud turned loose into the goblet from
which We are expected TO gusf our
most refreshing beverage. There is
nothing that needs inspection more
than ice, not even milk. There are
ponds about the city that some of
our Ice men regard as lakes, that are
impure, and this lake ice holds in
solid state the poisons that have been
contributed to the pools. We are
not aiming this suggestion at any
particular concern, bat 1t 10 high time
the ice industry gave to the public
better assurance than heretofore of
the quality of their merchandise.
The question of getting pure ice has
become very grave one. The ice
carries the peculiar dangers that are
supposed to be attendant upon pow
erty into the homes Of those supplied
with all that makes life pleasing and
seemingly secure. The rich as well
as the poor sip poison in their ice-
water. The cities on our great Lakes
are much exposed to like evils.
There has been typhoid fever Wis
itation in one of the suburbs of Chi
cago this winter quite deadly in its
nature, and that should have pro.
duced alarm even greater than that
of which we have been advised. The
mild form of panic that has prevailed
among the people did not come soon
enough. The question of the water
supply from lakes when the intake OF
the pumps and outgo of the sewerage
are within few miles of each other
aud there are variable currents of the |
wind and water, is grave complica-
ton. 1t has been encountered at
Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago and Mil
waukee. A man of genius at Mil
waukee recently invented an i'm
mense screw by which he takes a
stream Of water twelve feet in diam
eter out of the harbor aud fiushes the
river with it. This is a good thing
for the river but the stain of the city
eau be seen far out on the lake and
there are conditions in which it APP
proaches perilously near the pumps.
1t is question how to flush the river
without poisoning the water supply.
The question of pure water is OF
course intimately associated with the
question of pure ice. The public I'M
derstands the former better than the
latter. Hence the occasion for ad-
monition and the opportunity of ex-
citing general interest in the subject
that the short supply OF ice affords is
one that should be intelligently i'm
proved. 1t becomes every house,
keeper to make personal investigation
Of the ice question.

THE SAMOA DIFFICULTY.

The morning dispatches contain in
formation from Washington, presume
bly, correct, that Thomas, of Illinois,
will soon offer the following preambl BILE
and resolution in the house of repre-
sentatives, which are also reported to
be favorably received by members of
the house:
"Whereas, From reports transmit
ted to congress by the president of the
United States and from newspaper &C
counts the rights of American citizens
appear to have grossly been invaded
and the commercial interests of the
United States jeopardized by the
action of the German government
through its naval forces in the Samoan
Islands, and
"Whereas, Newspaper dispatches
show that steps have been taken look
ing to the acquisition of the Samoan
Islands by the German government in
violation of the rights and interests of
the government with the government
of the United States holding a treaty
and commercial relations, and In VIC
lation of the treaty rights of the Uni
ted States.
"TherefOre, be it resolved by the
senate and house of represen tatives of
the United States in congress assem-
bled, That the president is hereby
authorized and directed to take such
steps, forcible if deemed expedi-
ent, as are necessary and proper to
protect and main tain the honor, dig
nifty and interests of the flag and gov
eminent of the United States and its
citizens wherever exposed against the
acts of the empire of Germany or its
torces.n
This action of the representative
from Illinois will have the effect OF
bringing the matter officially and au.
thoritatively to the notice of congress
and it is important that the real facts
in the case be fully understood. The
Samoa islands are more generally
known to students of geography as
the Navigator islands and they lie in
latitude 13 degrees south, longitude
10 west, about half way
between the Sandwich Islands and
Australia. Their area is variously
estimated from 1000 to 1900 square
miles, and popula ton from $4,000 tc
$4,000. The soil of the islands is very
fertile, the origin of the rocks vol
canic and the surface of the islands
diversified. Valuable woods abound
and the character of the inhabitanti
is much superior to that of the grea
bulk of the jewellers in the Oceanic
groups of Islands. These islandl
were opened to commerce by tn,
Wilkes expedition, and the United
States has had commercial treaty
with them and been represented by
consular agents since 1850. The au
thority in the islands has been /,

Inc feCullaf Transactions OF q
san Antonio Store
Keeper.
There have been many stories told
on the streets of the escapades of Mr..
c., of the alleged firm of c.
& Co., in which he was principal
and company too, but for want of con-
firmation, the LIGHT has remained
silent. The story, however, has now
been so freely told that it is no secret,
and is therefore public property.
Mr.. c. came here from
Tennessee and opened a gents
furnishing establishment on Com
merce street. He said he was
a married man, and this it is
believed is true. Anyway, he had
with him very lady-like, but passe
wife and four children whom he own
ed, and the family lived on Barrera
street.
Last fall Mrs C. announced that
she was breaking up house-keep-
ing and was going home to Tennessee.
This she did, but the children were
left in San Antonio. She was escorted
home by her husband. This was con-
sidered peculiar and there was some
gossip about the matter, but for
time the voice of scandal
was hushed. On the way home he
called at a wayside station in Misss-
sippi, and there met young lady.
Whether he knew her or not before,
or whether they had met by appoint
ment is not known, but certain it is
that the lady left with on
the understanding that she could

Antonio as a school teacher. They
both arrived in the city and the lady
was distressed to find that she could
notget the promised employment then
posed as man Of wealth; he would
befriend her and therefore she
need have no fear for the future. A
trip to Corpus Christi was proposed
and they went there. How and by
what means it occurred is not known,
but certain it is that the girl was be-
trayed there and soon after the couple
resided openly as man and wife on
Dryer Avenue. This aroused the in
dignation of the neighbors and event
ually they made it so warm for the
Illicit lovers that they moved. Then
came the assignment and accusation
of fraudulent business transactions. 1t

were contracted when he must

love is here with his little pop-gun
and threatens to make a dead man of
him, and the friends of his colored fe-

her approaching unlawful maternity.
Other people, too, are waiting to inter
view him for explanation on various
business matters in way that may
be more forcible than polite.
