a REMARKARLE EXPEDITION.
How Miss Kate Marden Travelled
Among the Lepers Of Siberia.
Eroyn The Mem York World

law MISS GAaLC hhA0oh AARN0AC0
Among the Lepers OF Siberia
From the Nei0 York World.
Miss Kate Marden, a young woman Of
tastes, has lust accomplished a most re-
markeble undertaking. She has journeyed
among the lepers of Siberia for the purpose
OF seeing how they exist with view TO
lessening the hardships Of their condition.
Miss Marsden Is q kings Daughter"
and as such it was not unnatural
that she should be seized with a
desire to go into the wilderness TO
help the residents thereof. But she had
numerous obstacles TO overcome when
she selected this particular wilderness Of
Siberia, She was a woman for one thing,
and the conditions Of travel are not such as
would appeal to feminine love of comfort.
She knew almost no Russian at all, which
would prevent her from enjoying the femi-
nine privilege of complaining, along with
rendering progress somewhat difficult. She
had no money, which most women would
have regarded as an insurmountable barrier
to foreign travel, and she had no powerful
friends to supply all these needs But she
wanted to travel through Siberia and visit
the leper camps TO see what might be done
TO aid the miserable beings who live with
out any care or attendance, and she has
succeeded.
Miss Marsden obtained, through the inter-
vention Of the Countess Alexandrian Tolsto,
the help of the empress. As soon as this was
secured the practical matters of passports,
official sanction and courtesy were easy.
The journey itself never was.
She rode over 10000 miles through the
woods with her Interpreter and body guard
OF Cossacks. There we're no roads but some
thing resembling them was cleared for her.
There were boys into which the horses
sank knee deep, and trunks OF trees over
which they stumbled. And there were
bears. But the intrepid young woman
mounted in masculine fashion upon a small
FESTIVE horse and, CARRIED in boots, trousers
and long jacket, went through all dangers
and difficulties with good cheer
She visited no less than thirteen leper set
Elements and was able to form a very clear
idea OF what is needed. The unfortunate
wretches are compelled to live apart from
other human habitations, frequently IN en-
tire solitude, but sometimes in small COM
munities.
Their food was mostly rotten fish and the
bark Of trees, unless they were fortunate
enough to own cows Miss Marsden's idea
Is TO gather them into colony where they
may receive medical attention and be
treated in a way more closely resembling
human beings. She has already begun to
raise money for this purpose, having COL
lected 35 900 rubles in Russia. In America
she expects to collect still more by her lect-
ures and the publication of book.
Already the result Of her expedition IL be-
ginning, for the first leper settlement is now
in process Of formation and five nuns from
Moscow have volunteered to go MS nurses to
the memhars

the story TO prove it. Said he: "Tm very

GEN. WEAVER'S VISIT
THE MOST INTERESTING TOPIC DIS
CUssED IN ATLANTA.

A Feeling Stirred Up That Will Give
Him Warm Reception-A Good Deal
of Talk as to How He Should be Re-
ce,ved-Gov. Northen Thinks He is
Too Contemplate to be Noticed-His
Record Pretty Well Ventilated.
ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 12.-The approach
ing visit Of Gen. Weaver, the third party
nominee for the presidency to Georgia is
Just at present the most interesting political
topic discussed by the politicians here.
Weaver is booked for a speech in
Atlanta, and the fact that he has made
for himself a record for south-hating not
equalled by even the slander-mouthed John
Sherman has stirred up a feeling that will
very probably result in such a reception to
the third party demagogue as he will not
soon forget. For two weeks past
the local papers have been
posting the public on Weaver's record, and
the state committee has also been working
on the same line. until the infamous utter

democracy. AS result Of this

third party candidate who is coming
into Georgia to beg votes from the people

deal Of talk in regard TO

didate Weaver's refusal to meet any one on
the stump In Georgia except Mr.. Cleveland,
when asked il he would meet him IL the op-
portunity offered, Gov. Northen said
to-day that he would not. The
governor characterized Weaver as too
contemplate to be noticed, and said he
would be willing to see him divide time in
Georgia only with negro. The governor
has been taking az active part in the prep
aration OF Weavers record for the public.
He has had prepared circular quoting
his infamous utterances against
the south, the Democratic party and the
veterans Of the confederacy, which will be
widely circulated at all of the third party
candidates appointments. The effect OF
these circulars will be to make the road OF
