Increase of LeprOsy.
The San Francisco Board of
Health is paying heed to the I'M
easiness felt in many quarters re-
garding the increase Of leprosy. The
number of patients at the Twenty
Sixth Street Hospital having the
disease is constantly augmenting.
On the evening of the Doth inst, the
Board held a special meeting at
which DIR. Fiske referred briefly to
the number of cases now existing in
the city, the contagious character of
the disease and the constant inroads
which it is making upon the white
population.
A dispatch from Milwaukee, dated
the Goth inst, says: Miss Flavln,
recently from the Sandwich Islands,
and an authority On leprosy, asserts
that in Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Iowa there are 100 cases of leprosy.
This statement, coupled with the
knowledge that the State Board was
making an investigation, has caused
CONSERVATION in several localities
where leprosy was rumored to have
existed. The State Board admits
that there are few cases in Wiscon-
sin, but denies that there are as
many as she says The cases all
came from Scandinavian immigrants.

| Raid on Honolulu
San Francisco Music and Drama
of March 22d Las the following
''Lewis j. Levey, manager of the
Hawaiian Opera House at Honolulu
who arrived by the last mail steame,
in search of talent, is reported as
having engaged a notorious barn
stormer named Ewing, with other
''actors" of similar calibre, for a sea
son at his theatre. If such is the
case Mr.. Levey has been egregiously
imposed upon, as he viii soon dis
cover. The crowd he is reported as
having engaged as specimens of Sar
Francisco actors are an insult to the
intelligence of the people Of the Ha
waiian capitol, who have too much
good sense to be imposed upon by {
lot of incompetents. 1t must not be
supposed because Honolulu is stu
ated in mid-ocean that its citizens
are ignorant of what is taking place
in the world and do not know what
good acting is. On the contrary
they have, in their time, had the
best; but it now looks as if they will
certainly get the worst. Ewing anC
his crowd of transformers stand {;
very good chance of regretting the
day that they concluded to force
themselves upon the Honolulu pub
lic."
