Leprosy in the United States.

Until within few years no concern has
been felt about leprosy in the United States
But physicians now rightly sound an
alarm. The disease has obtained a foot
hold in New Brunswick on the north, in
Mexico and Trinidad on the south, III Cali.
fornia and British Columbia on the west,
and in Minnesota, in the very heart of ouI
country, while an increasing intercourse
with the Sandwich Islands and our vast
and indiscriminate immigration are re
moving us further and further from our
former safe isolation.
Thus far few persons of Anglo-SaxoD
origin have been attacked. In Canada and
Louisiana it is the French who have suf-
fered; in Minnesota, the Norwegians; in
California, the Chinese.-YOuth's Com.

A Dentist Who Earns 500 a Day.

Among the many successful dentists in
New York DR.. Henry A. Parr has proba-
bly, done the most for the profession, and
at the same time the most for himself. He
has invented what is known in dentistry
as the removable bridge, and many other
things equally useful. His income has
been variously estimated. 1t is probably
not far from 500 day, and that is about
all that any dentist can make.
The best dentists in New York charge
SIS an hour for their work without regard
to the character of it. DR.. Dunn, who in
vented the porcelain plate, was said by
Peter Cooper to be one of the greatest bene-
factors of the age, because he made it pos
sible to do away with the rubber plate,
which in time reduces the gums to pulp.
Mr.. Cooper had a very painful experience,
hence his estimation of DR.. Dunn's inven-
tion.-New York Press.

''MutnnI.v

When Dickens set the example of mis-
using a good word by naming n novel
"Our Mutual Friend" he could hardly
have foreseen to what further abuses the
word mutual would have been put, pos
sibly as the result of his mistake.
One man cannot be the mutual friend"
of two other men. Since the word sig
nifies one thing acting IN return or cor
respondence to another" things are mutual
only as between two objects. A friend who
is the friend of two other people is their
common friend, not their mutual friend
Two persons may have mutual liking
or mutual distaste because each may
like or dislike the same thing under the
same conditions, and the feeling may be a
part of one at the same time as much as
of the other; but friend who is the friend
of each is simply common FRIEND and is
in no sense mutual" to them.
Where the misuse of a word like this
may bring up is well indicated by phrase
which was not long ago employed by a
certain public official in introducing a
friend to another and higher official
81 want you to treat this man as well as
you can" said the introducer, because
he's a very mewchal friend of nine"
Evidently he thought that mutual"
means dear" just as some people think
that "condign" punishment means very
severe punishment, whereas the word
"condign" simply means suitable, fitted to
the occasion, and may be applied to re-
ward as properly as to punishment

Laryngitis.

Laryngitis is an inflammation of the
larynX, the organ of the voice This in
fiammation would not be specially danger
Gus but for the narrowness of tie "chink"
in the larynx and the unyielding character
of the surrounding walls. The sucking
caused by the Inflammation as it crowds
inward tends to obstruct and even to close
the opening. In many cases the danger is
further increased by frequent spasmodic
action of the laryngeal muscles, somewhat
as in whooping cough.
Laryngitis may be either acute or
chronic. The acute form is the more imme-
diately dangerous, but different cases of
the acute form differ greatly in this re-
spect, according as the Inflammation is
confined to the mucous membrane or ex-
tends to the tissues beneath.-Youth's

A Man Who Is Apt to BE Disliked.

Among the many men whom l long to
see get their deserts is the man who thi;.iis
it beneath his dignity to do a kindly ser
vice. He is insullted if a neighbor asks him
to do a favor for him in town, and says
that he "would really like to see himself

costs so little in this world to be gracious
that even putting the matter on the low
plane of policy, than which there is no
plane for action much lower, it is better
worth ones while to be affable and kind
than otherwise. Anybody would travel
a good piece out of ones way to have deal,
ings with a polite and friendly person, and
on the contrary almost anybody would
travel a long way around to avoid meeting
or doing business with a churl.-Chicago

printed a piece of rufiianism

Lexington Wants the Capitol,
and Wants ID Had.

l met banker +. ID. Sayre and
citizen Mccarthy, on the new brick
road they are just about finishing
on West Third street. We agreed
that it was the finest road we had
ever seen; and two, if not all of us,
had seen pretty nearly every kind
from the Boulevardes of Paris, to
the bully muds of Lexington.
l said to them, "If we can pave
the whole city like this, and bring
the capitol here; put all the saloons
out ofthis city, and put the city
into the hands of sober, intelligent
and moral men, we will have the
grandest town in the United States
to live in
Then | was sorry to hear both of
them object to bringing the Capitol
here, and they made the same ar
gument that many of our most
moral and sensible citizens are do
ing, namely: That the presence of
the Capital here would be demor-
alizing to our people.
Well, it is sweet state Of atfa irs
when it gets to be, not joke, but
an actual business opinion of some
of our most successful business men,
that the men who make laws for
this State are people to be stunned
just As the best society of this city
shuns contact with many of the
denizcns of Vine or Mcgowan
streets.
1t simply must not be that way.
We must not only vote the $780,
600 to bring the Capitol here, but
if, when we have it, these back
woods counties, or even the Blue
grass counties, send drunken ruff
hans here to represent them, we
must take them up and put them in
Jail, or in the Workhouse, just as
we would any other ruffians.
These fellows might run over a
little town like Frankfort, but
they could not come it over this
place, if we get the town into the
hands of the right kind of men, and
try to stop it.

and we would all be fresh for

done it manya time.
But you let the boys of one OF
these colleges here cut up shines Of

pie ofjustice.
There is one favorable feature in
the opposition to the Capitol's
coming here, by such man as Mr..
Sayre; and that is, if the poor peo-
pie of the country find out that
these big rich men don't want the
Capitol here, the poor white trash
and the niggers will want it here,
just for spite, and when the vote
comes to he taken ON it here ON
the 24th OF November, they will
snow under Mr.. Sayre and his peo-
pie by million majority.

PEDRO PEREA.

Hon. Pedro Perea, who has been
nominated for candidate for member OF
the council on the Republican ticket in
Bernalillo county, is a man of ability,
nd experience and courageous. He has
served the people of Bernalillo county
and of the territory in the position o.
councilman in the 9th and 2Sth legis
lative assemblies, and has made most
enviable record as a man and legislator
who was always on the right side and al
ways battling for the best interests of the
whole people. He introduced the So
called Perea bill, amending the entire
financial system of the territory and
establishing fixed system of taxes and
appropriations in the 9th legislative
assembly; in that body owing to the cor
rupt use OF official power and Doodle by
ex-Gov. Ross and the territorial
officials under Ross and appointed by
him, the bill was defeated in the lower
iouo0t iO iO-lhtiOuuCCu ~ Ill tue Z0LIl
legislative assembly and the Republicans
having two-thirds majority in that body
passed it speedily and it is now law and
has saved the tax payers Of this territory
at the rate of $l50,000 per year since
March 4, 1890, the date it took effect
Mr.. Perea can always be depended upon
to do what is right, proper and honest; he
has large property and financial interests
in the county of Bernalillo; he will al
ways be found making strong and I'M
ceasing fight for the best interests Of the
people; he will always be on the side of
honesty and economy; the people and
voters of Bernalillo county will honor
themselves and benefit their county and
the territory by electing him to the Office
for which he has been unanimously NOM
mated on Saturday last.

bargain with the White Cap leaders in
San Miguel county, by which and
through which the San Miguel county
White Caps are to vote for Antonio Jo-
seph; that means that Joseph is to re-
celve the support Of the lawless element
in that county, an element, that has in
jured the prosperity of San Miguel county
and Of New Mexico already to the
amount OF millions Of dollars. No law
abiding citizen, be he Democrat or Re.
publican, ought to vote to strengthen
such an unholy alliance. The good citi-
zens Of San Miguel county and all over
New Mexico should vote for M. s. Otero,
who represents law and order and the
principles of protection to the leading
industries of New Mexico and who is in
all respects worthy and competent to
represent them in the SD congress with
ability, dignity, success and benefit to all
concerned.

the help Of the Bernalillo county members
of the legislature, saddled upon all the
people for the sole benefit Of the town Of
Santa Fe.
1t recalls the undisputed fact that Cat
ron, with the help Of the Bernalillo coun-
ty members Of the legislature, in the last
legislature, had passed a bill requiring
the penitentiary convicts to work the
streets of Santa Fe, without expense to
the town of Santa Fee; though if Santa Fe
had been required to pay Just price for
this work, the expense OF running the
penitentary would have been lessened
that much to the people and their taxes.
1t recalls the famous "rape OF Chill
ILL.," which Catron, with the help of
the known corruption or the stupidity
of the Bernalillo county members OF
the legislature, had perpetrated for the
purpose of transferring a large slice of
Bernalillo county to Santa Fe county q
large portion of the tax paying population
of Bernalillo county, without requiring
Santa Fe county to assume just and
corresponding proportion of Bernalillo
county's debt. That bill lessened Santa
Fe county's taxes without requiring her
to pay for the benefit; and increased Ber-
nalillo county's taxes, without giving ker
any corresponding Observation-Disclosures
