Sister Rose Gertrude's Reasons for Leav-
ing Her Work Among the Lepers.
Ladies' Home Journal
The ground was divided into three
parts one for Suspects is, per-
sons whom the doctors are not sure hav-
ing the disease-one for the lepers under
Dr. Lutz's treatments and the third for the
persons brought in for examination, and
the unfortunates waiting 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 examination. He in his
turn gave over the authority to the Luna
"a sort Of general overseer--one of the
leper patients, a man of no education,
who confessed himself that before he
'got the disease he was fond of drink
ing and often chad the devil.n This
oyerseer retained all the keys of commu.
nication until the day left, even of the
Suspect side which he ought not I'd
have entered, as he was a confirmed
leper.
Space would fail were I to tell of 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 despairing
people. Then came 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, iu-
deed, who had had q strong fever, was

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. We COM
planned to the board of health, as the,
matter became more serious; they
seemed unwilling to take any steps in the'
matter. A native gentleman, representa-
tive Of the people in the legislative as.
sembly, took up the matter and brought
the house visited the hospital three days
which was printed in report. They
found that the Luna was unworthy 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 re-
moved 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 and myself to resign,
it being impossible to work any longer
under the then existing circumstance.
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 legis-
lative assembly. "There never has been
such doctor before in these islands;
there never has been woman who has
cared so for the lepers."

LINCOLN. Neb, Feb. 2S-There was a
comedy drama scene in the house yester.
day. The bill abolishing free passes on
railways was under discussion. The bill
declares it to be unlawful for any railroad
company to give a pass or to carry free
any person over s years of age, excepting
railroad employees. 1t is also made IN
lawful to accept pass or to ride free.
Persons violating any of the provisions of
the act shall be deemed guilty of misGe-
meanor, and upon conviction shall be
fined not less than $500 nor more than
$1,000, or imprisoned in the county Jail
for a period of not more than three
months
Where the Drama Came In.
After some hours spent in discussing
the bill, motion prevailed TO recommend
it for passa ge. Church Howe, of Nemaha,
arose in his place and suggested that, as
GROWING act of the great reform accom-
plished during the session. he would move
that all the members come forward and
publicly destroy their passes He empha-
sized his II otion by tearing up his own.
FELTON,, of Nuckolls, took umbrage at his
remarks, and Indignantly denied that he
had a pass, or tina: ever in his life he had
had one. A scene of disorder ensued, and it
was some time before order could be re-
stored.
The Comedy Effect.
When, however, this had been accom-
plished chaos was again precipitated by
the violent efforts of Storms, of Nemaha,
to reach his pass. In making a dive for
his pocket where it was supposed to be he
lost his balance and went, chair and
all, over backward into the center aisle
which divides the grangers from the allied
Republican and Democratic forces.
Church Howe sprang to the rescue and
arrived in time to assist him to rise. The
