THE BAKERSFIELD SUICIDES.
Both Parties Identified-The Woman
Was Probably Murdered.

BAKERSFIELD. Cal, Jan. 1.-THE mys-
terry of the death of the woman and the
fatal wounding of the man referred TO in
dispatches from this place was solved at
the inquest, which took place today. The
husband of the woman arrived from San
Diego this morning. His wife left him
about four months ago. but he did not
know that she was connected with the
man by whom she was shot until quite re-
Gently. They had daughter II years of
age, who is now in Los Angeles
with her grandmother. The man
with her, who is still lingering in the hos
pital, is Lewis II. Stokes. Papers that he
had concealed in yard previous TO the
shooting show that he had formerly served
in the Nineteenth United States infantry;
that he had been discharged for disability
and was in receipt of a pension of about
500, which was all the money he pos
sessed. His companion had none. 1t is
believed that the shooting was not a con-
certed matter between them. 1t is proba-
BILE that he sent her INTO eternity without
q word of warning. and then shot himself.
He was in ill-health, moody and despon-
dent

WHY SHE LEFT MoLoKAI.
Sister Rose Gertrude's Reason for Leav-
ing Her Work Among the Lepers.

Sister Rose Gertrude's Reason for Leav-
ing Her Work Among the Lepers.
The ground was divided into three parts:
one for ''Suspects"-that is, persons whom
the doctors are not sure have the disease
one for the lepers under DIR. Lu,z's treat
meEt and the third for the persons brought
In Tor examination and the unfortunateS
waiting to lie shipped to Molokai, writes
Sister Rose Gertrude to the Ladies Home
journal in describing her work among the
lepers. 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
oil no education who confessed himself that
before he got the disease" he was fond of
drinking and often mad the devil" This
oVerseer retained all the keys of communi-
cation until the day | left, even of the "suS-
pect, side, which he ought not TO have en-
tered, rs he was confirmed leper.
Space would fail were / to tell of all that
took place during those six eveatful months
In that time some of the patients. formerly
pronounced iepers, were cured; the condi-
llon OF all was ameliOra ted, and hope Sprang
high In the hearts of these hitherto despair
A'6 PSSI'S' uNh Ndii6 Itttic NHtu- III StN-
eral instances, the doctors wishes and mine
were put aside; some of our patients were
made to work by the Luna in an utterly I'M
1T condition; one, indeed, who had had
strong fever, was SO thrown back that he
nearly lost his life. Lastly, we heard from
the patients that the Luna and the agent
mad been speaking against the doctor and
myself, trying to prejudice the people and
do us harm. We complained to the Board
oil Health, as the matter became more
serious; they seemed unwilling to take
any steps In the matter. A native gen
tleman, representative of the people in
the Legislative Assembly, took up the mat
Ter and brought it before the House. a
committee from the House visited the hos
pltal three days. and took down vOluminouS
evidence which was printed in a report.
They found that the Luna was unworthy Of
his Office, and should be Immediately re-
moved, as also the agent of the Board of
Health. This was not done. The Pres-
dent OF tho Board of Health was removed
from lis office.
For some uuaccOuntable reason of their
OWE, they upheld the Luna and the agent
and there was nothing left but for the doc
Tor and myself to resign, il 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 nope before, as one of them said in his
speech before the committee of the Legisla-
tive Assembly. "Fhere never has been snch
a doctor before in these islands there never
mas been woman who has cared so for the
lepers" ~ 'i0

THE TIME FOE ACTION.

When the Women Ought to Be Up and
Doing They Are Not to Be Seen.
Editor IFOmdn'S Column, Morninq Call:
At various times during the year, when our
lawmakers are not in session, there is heard
on every side complaints from women of
California that they are oppressed, and that
the wrongs that they are forced to endure
are numerous, but if they had the ballot
they would make their influence felt and
the world. They would vote for those only
who would pledge themselves to give to
woman her equal rights before the law. and
do not now remember what they would
not do if they only had the ballot 1t seems
TO me that if the women of California would
devote their attention to the Legislature
while it is In session and call the solons at
Sacramento TO account for not giving to
woman those rights she claims to be entitled
to- they would make some progress in
the matter of effectlng reform. L do not
mean that they should 90 with sweet smile
upon the lip before some committee and In
piaiutive manner say: Please, gentlemen,
can't you DO something for us poor OPP
pressed women and help us obtain our
right" NJ, would have them appear, il
not personally, through some champion, for
am sure that IN the mass ot assem- oled WIS
dom under the dome OF the Capitol building
there is some one no will have sufficient
gallantry TO stand up for the rights of
the unrepresented sex, demand recogni-
ton for the women of California who
are forced 10 pay their taxes lust like
man." and who should Just like man"
have something to say relative to the Gov
eminent that they are forced 10 help main-
tain it will not do for the women who
fight for principle to simply get in back
room ana in the most dismal manner discuss
the wrongs under which they are suffering,
and think that i'll the sweet by-and-by these
matters will right themselves; they must
get out and make felt their influence, and l
think that the time to commence action is
the present Let them make their demand
of the present Legislature, present petitions,
make formidable arguments, and insist that
the laws shall be altered so that all The beue-
fits are not given to men. Ii the women
will but unite on this matter they will in
time succeed. They may not lie able to ac-
cOmplish much at this session, but they will
surely lay the foundation FIR the structure
they would erect-the temple of human
rights. They can at least call attention to
their purpose, and by the time those who
have the right TO cast the ballot are again
called upon to decide WHO shall assemble
within the legislative halls they can exert
their influence to have elected those who
will pledge themselves to grant equal rights
20 women. W. T. w. L.
