leper scare in our state. wrote to Mr. Lang
stating that the state board of health had the
matter in hand since the first appearance of
the disease i'll the state, and that it had, at
different times, canvassed the state for lepers
and that these investigations were conlinu-
ally going on. the results OF which have many
times been published, so that anybody who
desired could know the facts. Miss Flavin's
remarks revealed the fact that she only read
the trst part OF Dr. G. Armauer Hauson's re-
port, in which he states that about 100 lepers
had, since immigration began, come into the
three states above mentioned. Ii she had
read farther she would have learned that "of
100 lepers who had come to these states only
thirteen, whom have myself1seen, and per-
haps three or four more, are now alive.
Among all the descendants of lepers that l
have seen (and | have seen them in the
third generation great grandchildren not
one has been leprous." This is from the re-
port published in German,in Verchow' S AR
chives of Pathology, Anatomy and Physiol-
ogy. and in the Medical Klinic, 1888. have
also seen something similar i'll American
periodicals.
Mr.. Lang will publish these facts as well
as D, g. Arm.iuer Hanson's statements con-
corning the disappearance of this disease in
Northwestern states.

Something AbOuc the Company of
Trained Seals at the Museum.

SOIneCntnH hDOuC the company OF
Trained Seals at the Museum.
There is a company OF glosSy-backed
comedians at the st. Paul museum this
week, and they give unique and ex-
tremely interesting entertainment; in
teresting because they are seals, and
unique because company of trained
seals was never put Oh exhibition in this
country until two years ago.
In spite of the fact that seals are natu-
rally sea animals and extremely cum
berSome on land, they are Sprightly
creatures, and, when tanned, as gentle
and affectiOnate as dogs. They love to
be petted and will chase their master
across the room, rub their glossy
him with their paw-like fins. the
same as any domestic animal.
They are exceedingly playful. full of
mischief, and very jealous of any at
tention that is shown any one but
themselves. At the museum they are
preserved in great tank at the back of
the stage which is kept ice-cold all the
time. In this they tumble ABOUT like a
basket OF kittens. play with sticks,
dodge and dive about, then suddenly
raise their heads above the surface of
the water, reminding their spectators
with their dark. handsome and almost
human eyes, of the mythical mermaids,
of which poets have sung and sailors
told yarns, but no one ever seen. 1t is
probable that the origin of this same
myth is to be found in these very self
same seals. To the lively imaginations
of woDder-seeking sailors, seeing them
lying in the sunshine on the rocks in the
deep. sea, or rising beautifully above
the surface of the calm ocean, with the
water streaming down their backs. it is
but natural that in their stories told to
credulous landsmen these briliant-eyed
creatures should have assumed the
shape of beautiful women. Their nat
ural vivacity and sprightliness which
renders even their cumbersome tum-
blings about on the land graceful, makes
all the pretty legends that cling about
the name of mermaid not inappropriate
when applied to seals.

GREATLY EXAGGERATED.
Minnesota Has But Ten Cases of
LeprOSy.

LeprOsy.
The subject of leprosy has received
some notice by the press of this state
during the past three or four months.
The state board of health has done good
work for several years in making a
study of the disease as it has appeared
in Minnesota, and reports of the board
have from time to time been given to
the press and published in its transac-
lions. A few weeks ago arrangements
were made by the state board with DR..
Christian Gronvold, of Norway, Good
hue county, former member OF the
board. and physician who has made
this disease and its existence and his
tory in this county special study, to
make thorough Investigation of the dis
ease as existing here at the IpreSent
time, and from time to time make re-
ports to the board. In this work Dr..
Gronvold has had, as correspondent,
DR.. K. HOegh, of Minneapolis, who has
done much in the study of leprosy. DR..
GroDvold has the advantage of being
familiar with the Investigations and re-
port of DR.. G. Armauer Hanson, sur
geon-in-chief of leper hospital, Bergen,
Norway, VINO was sent TO study the dis
ease in this country by the government
of Norway about three years ago. The
following letter was recently written by
DIR. Gronvold to the state board:

ENTITLED TO DAMAGES.
But the Court Has Only Power
to Review the Proceedings.

I'D 1seVIeW tu0 EFOCeouiHSSs
Ernest Albrecht claimed that the
board of public works did not fairly
assess the damages and benefits to his
property when changing the grade of
Park avenue in the year 1881. He i'll
sisted that as there was cut of thirty
feet in the street along his lot the dam
ages were inadequate. The proceed
ings were instituted, and the appeal
taken some six years ago. The dam
ages were then fixed at $1,000 and the
benefits $1,000. Judge Wilkin yesterday
filed an order deciding that the award
of damages was too small. He thinks
that fair estimate would be for the
city to pay Albrecht $1,000 damages in
stead of requiring him to pay $500 as an
excess of benefits over the damages as
sessed. The court only has power to
review the proceedings, but has no
power to authorize Judgment for the
amount of $1,000, which, from the testi-
mony. he thinks AlDrecht is entitled to
receive.

The new tariff bill as outlined in the
papers doesn't suit the farmers of Min
nesOta at all. "What does it profit the
farmers of Minnesota to have gun bar
rels placed Oh the free list" said Re-
publican member of the last legislature
yesterday, land the tariff on pig iron
and steel rails left as it is. Increasing
the duty on tin plate is another iniquity
only equaled by the reduction
in the internal revenue taxes on to-
bacco and alcohol used in the arts l
notice the tariff on Irvine is reduced
little; why isn't it taken off entirely?
We want a tariff bill passed that will
accomplish something, or, rather, give
the farmers of the Northwest chance
to do something for themselves. and no
halfway, Semi-apOlogetic measure is
going to satisfy u.s.
Judging from Hon. John Lind's Ie-
cent appointments" said Second
district politician yesterday, she has
evidently made up his mind that he
wants another term. You know, little
over year ago. he, in manner, gave
1t out that he would not seek re-elec-
ton. This caused a little cOmmotion
among the aspiring Republicans Of the
district, and caused half dozen or
more to go into training at once for the
place. Hon. ID. +. Morgan moved to Man
katO: Hon. c. Il. Davis began to prepare
his maiden speech Tor the Fifty-second
congress; Hon. Gideon S. Ives CON-
menced mailing copies of speeches de-
Iivered at the last session of the legiSla-
ture, and there was a general stir all
along the line. The Hon. Johns sud-
den change of mind has knocked out
many ii nicely laid plan, but it hasn't
given Mr.. Lind a clear field by any
means. There will be two or three can
didates in the field, but lnasmuch as
Mr. Lind has filled all the postofflces
and other federal positions in his dis
trict with his political workers he will
have no trouble in securing a renomina-
ton"

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

On one of the Chicago trains which
reached st. Paul yesterday morning, a
party of gentlemen gathered in the
smoking room of the sleeper, and the
subject of tariff reform was preached.
1t was developed, early in the CONVEX
sation, that of the half-doZen men one
was Democrat and five Republicans.
but all were for tariff reform.
A MinneSotan who was present
was telling the others, who were
strangers, of Gov. MerrIam'S alliance
speech, and concluded with the remark
that the aforesaid speech was forced
admission of the Republican position.
1t then came out that every one of the
five Republicans had made up his mind
to vote the tic-tariff-reform
ticket in 1892. particularly if headed by
Cleveland, while the single Democrat
rather leaned to the Democracy of David
B. Hill.
Some one remarked yesterday that
William Pitt Murray did not attend the
meeting of the committee of the citi
Zens' ballot league. The ObServant man
had said to friend:
Strange Murray wasn't there.
s'Whats the league for:'' asked the other.
''Why, to carry out the Australian law

One of the cleanest-cut men in the
state house is Wheat Inspector Clausen,
He wears glasses continually, but he
looks over or around them occasionally,
and then one can see that he skins
wicked, willy eye. When talking he
looks his nearer square in the optics, and
the perfect pOise of his head reminds
one of a snake while doing the
charm act to bird. His language is
faultlesS. He can put his ideas into re-
freshing words with remarkable facil-
fly. But he is hard man to pump
news out of. He will talk in very en-
PERTAINING way all around the thing you
want to know, but no one ever trie d to
draw him out without leaving with a
feeling that Clausen is one of the fell
lows that don't tell all they know.

as far as influence goes, the major has a
good hold on even Capt. Reeds own
