Death of a Girl Leper.

New Orleans, La, has a novelty in the
shape OF hospital for lepers, which until
the other day contained four inmates. 1t is
situated on Hagen avenue, near Gravier, In
an isolated portion of the city. and the lepers
are treated there. Treatment plays small
part in the matter, though, as the disease is
fncurable and the hospital is designed simply
to prevent lepers from mingling with the
rest OF human kind.
About a month ago young white girl,
Miss Naomi Ribbi, came to the hospital from
Iberville Parish She belonged to one OF
the creole families in that section OF the
State, and was only twenty years old.
Ibelville is the home of q number Of lepers,
and from some one there the young woman
contracted the terrible disease. When re-
ceived at the leper hospital it was found sne
was oeyond even the alleviation Of ner pain.
Both her eyes had bean eaten away. She
lived month, passing through terrible tor
tures, aid has just died in great agony.

Bank Officers in Disgrace.

! The Banoue Generate Chemin de Fer ct
Iniustrie, OF Paris, France, has suspended!
One of the Directors has committed suicide
two absconded and one has been arrested.
The liabilities amount to $1,000, 600 and
the assets to 81, 600, 900. The failure had no
effect on the Bourse.
The reason assigned for the suicide and
fight is that the authorities were about to
institute legal proceedings against the Direc.
tors Of the bank, ON the charge or fraudulent
bankruptcy and Of obtaining money under
false pretenses. -.
The bank dealt largely in the French ma
tonal loan of 1891, and received subscrip-
tions to the loan Of upward Of S400, 900.

Space at the Patent Office.

The recent announcement Of the Commits
soner Of Patents that copies of current

Congress provides place for the storage Of

mass Of valuable records are stacked
up on triple rows Of pine shelves in the cor

thieves do not break in. Now even this space
is exhausted, and copies OF patents now be-
ing issued cannot be stored, so that no copies
can be obtained. The numerous firms of
attorneys and the great manufacturing
interests all over the country that want cop.
les Of every patent issued affecting their spe-
cial business are now unable to get them,
and they are pouring in their complaints
upon the House thicker than leaves on

copies the patented industries OF the
country, and even the courts handling
patent causes, may get badly tangled up:

ted.
The reservation will be opened under
the homestead law. This requires a com-
tinuous residence of FIVE years, but per-
mits the entryman to commute and
prove up after II months residence, out
in the case of these lands, the special
aw under which they are opened, the
settler must paw 81 per acre. one fourth

three annual payments, and the patents
will not issue until she whole amount
has been paid the government; in other
respects the proisions Of the homestead
law applies.
1The price paid Indians by the govern
ment is the same as that which settlers
are required to pay; and in regard TO this
the report of the senate committee in
recommending the passage of the bill
uses the following language, viz:
"Respecting the price of the surplus
lands, $3.50 per acre would at first thought
appear to high, but considering the stu
alton Of this tract and the character of
the land, in respect to its exceptional
fertility AMI commercial value, the price
is not unreasonable This tract is well
timbered and watered, which greatly
enhances the value Of prairie lands FOR
general agriculture! purposes, and be-
sides it is surrounded by p%opulous and
prosperous agricultural communities in
Minnesota and the two Dakotas, aud is
also easily accessible by railways"
The reservation will open on April Is,
1897, at noon. Noperson will be allowed
OH the reservation before that time. The
time o~fopenIng is most favorable for the
settler, as the winter is over and the
spring well advanced, so the newcomer
will endure no haTdships.
One thing remember. The man who
takes a quarter section moves on it and
commences his improvements, even
though he has not filed on it, upon a
showing of these facts, a file and hold
the land, even though there be a prior
filing OH the land by other parties who
have made no attempts at improvement.
