Sister Rose Gertrude's Reasons fol
Leaving Her Work Among
the LeDers.

The ground was divided into three
parts; one for ''SuSpeCtS'-that IS per
sons whom the doctors are not sure OF
having the disease-One for the lepers
under Lutz'S treatment, and the third
for the persons brought in for eXamina-
ton, and the unfOrtunates waiting to
to be shipped to MOlokai. The Board
of Health vested the entire control of
the hospital, apart from the medical
and surgical work in their agent, who
also acts as a sort of policeman to catch
the lepers, and bring them up for eX-
animation. He in his turn gave over
the authority to the Luna-a sort Of a
general Overseer-One of the leper pa
fients, a man of no education, who
confessed himself that before he got
the disease he was fond of drinking
and often had the devil" This over
e retained all the keys of cOmmuni-
cation until the day [ left, even of the
suspect side which he ought not to
have entered, as he was a confirmed
leper.
Space would fail were I to tell all
that took place during those six event
full months. In that time some of the
patients, formerly pronounced lepers,
were cured; the condition of all was
ameliorated, and hope sprang high IN
the hearts of these hitherto desparing
people. Then came a time when, in
several instances, the doctors wishes
and mine were put aside; some of our
patients were made to work by the
Luna in an utterly unfit condition; one,
indeed, who had had a strong fever,
was so thrown back that he nearly lost
his life. Lastly, we heard from the
patients that the Luna and the agent
had been speaking against the doctor
and myself, trying to prejudice the
people and do us harm. Accomplished

The motor is placed on the real wheel,
which is covered by an oil reservoir of
acapacity of 81 gallons, and has a cylin-
der on each side, and a fly wheel close
to its spOkes. The first stroke of the
plstOns draws in the air and oil vapor,
the second stroke congresses the
charge, which is exploded at the third
stroke, and exhausted on the fourth.
The crank shaft operated by the pistons
IS geared to give motion to the rear or
driving wheel in the ratio of & to 1. The
compressed charges are alternately
ignited by a spark from an electric bat
terry under the seat between the two
forward wheels. Stopping and start
ing are accomplished by raising and
lowering the driving wheel by a foot
lever on c~astors, steering is effected by
a pair of rocking handles actuating the
front wheels, and the speed is regulated
by a Unbelievable lever. The COM
plete machine weighs 2SO pounds.

to the Board of Health, as the matter
became more serious; they seemed I'M
willing to take any steps in the matter.
A native gentleman, representative of
the people in the Legislative Assembly,
took UP the matter and brought it
before the House. A committee from
the House visited the hospital three
days, and took down vOluminOus evi-
dence which was printed in a report.
They found that the Luna was I'M
worthy Of his office, and should be
Immediately removed, as.also the agent
of the Board of health. This was not
done. The President of the Board of
Health was removed from his office.
For some unaccOuntable reason of
their own, they upheld the Luna and
the agent, and there was nothing left
but for the doctor and4nyself to resign,
it being impossible to work any longer
under the then existing circumstances.
And SO, with an aching heart, we left
the people, with all the more sorrow
that their lives had been so bright with
hope before, as one of them said in his
speech before the committee of the
Legislative Assembly. There never
has been such a doctor before in these
islands; there never has been a woman
who has cared so for the lepers. THE

Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., pastor of
the Twenty-third Street Baptist church,
addressed his audience this morning,
at Association Hall, on the subject of
Dead Theology" it being the cOntin-
uation of a series of sermons on The
Churchless Millions" 1t was preceded
by the following review of current
events:
Gambling is the most fascinating oc-
cupatiOn with which a fallen humanity
ever dissipated life, manhood and
character. It is the debauchery of
mans spiritual nature. 1t rests upon
the foundation of religion itself. For
this reason it utterly damns the whole
man, physical, mental, moral, spirit
ual. It is the fertile mother of a thou
sand other vices and crimes. Forgery,
theft, drunkenness, lust, brutality are
it's boon companions.
Gambling has thrown it's deadly
shadow upon society in many ways
and many DISCUSSES. 1t stalks through
the market place wrapped in the
sacred mantle of a worlds commerce,
beneath which is concealed it's poisoned
dagger. 1t revels in the dive and the
brOthel. 1t lures the almond MOngOlian
to his ruin. 1t introduces the boot
black to the policy shop. 1t sneaks
into the school house and offers to edu-
cate the rising generation for the priv
lege of damning the present. It crawls
into the church fair and festival and
deceives even the elect.
OF all the subtle pretences with
which it has covered it's leprOus hide.
the horse blanket has so far proved the
best. The race-track stands to-day one
of the darkest blOts on our Christian
civilization. This creature was born in
hell. Its head is the head of the devil.

AS a Christian nation we have risen
in might and determined to crush the
Louisiana State Lottery. But we have
constructed stalls in the Royal Palace
of the supreme people of New York in
which this monster now whelps and
stables. Let no man in New York
blush at the degradation of Louisiana,
while the infamous Pool bill remains
upon our statute books. [ honestly
believe, that where one man is ruined
by the lottery, ten men are utterly de-
strOyed, body and soul, for this world
and n next, by the gambling OF the
race track. Let no man deceive him
self on this question. The raCe tracks
as now maintained + gambling hellS
pure and simple. The men who main
tain them are the debauchers of the
moral stamina of the nation. They are
often the insolent defiers of the laws of

In passing sentence the judges said:
There are three considerations
which have Influenced the court in

The first is the pernicious character of

it has had a seriously corrupting in
