THE HORRORS OF LEPRosr.

What Father COnrardy Experiences at
the Island of Molokai.
The Rev. Father Valelly, of the New
York diocese, Wednesday received a
letter from the Rev. L. l.. Conrardy,
who was ordained priest in 1880 and,
with Father Damien, banished himself
to the leper island, Molokai, whence
none returns until released by death.
The martyr priest says:
. In regard to leprosy, | won't say I
have it or have it not. Sometimes |
think haye it, but Of this / cannot be
sure. | don't wish to get it. If it
comes, will have to endure it; but
leprosy is often painless and does not
meapacitate one for work. As a mat
tel, of course, everything is saturated
with leprosy. The chickens eats the
bits of decaying skin and flesh that the
lepers pick from their fingers and
hands, and when you break a fresh egg
at the table the odor of the disease
comes from it.
In visiting the lepers one touches
where lepers have touched thousands
OF times, SO you take more orless of the
leper matter, and iftyou have scratch
on finger or hand, or before washing
Your hand you touch your eye Or sore
mouth, you inoculate yourself. You
notice it when too late.''
The holy father begs pathetically
That his brothers in the outer world
pray for him and his afflicted subjects.
rather Damien died Of leprosy at the
stand in 1885. Since then Father Con-
rardy has fnrthered his cause almost
single handed. There is at the pres
~ time another priest at Molokai. as

AN ACCOMMODATING DENTIST.

Not only BARRIERS, but dentists as
well, sometimes transgress the law in
the matter of teeth pulling. A case
was recently brought to our attention
where healthy young woman was
afflicted with the toothaehe. She
went to dentist, not only to have the
offending member removed, but all of
her teeth, so as to prevent a recurrence
of the pain and.get false set. AS
her teeth were in excellent condition
the dentist expostulated with her and
refused to take the job. The foolish
young woman, however, went to an
other dentist in good standing and he
performed the work without a protest.
If such case were properly brought
before the courts the greedy dentist
could be convicted of malpractice, and
the dental association of which he is a
member would expel him in short or
der. A self-respecting dentist will not
take advantage Of the folly and ignor-
ance of a patron by extracting sound
teeth. Such butchery is far more
fragrant offense against humanity and
the dental profession than tile tooth
drawing performed by the venturesome
barber. Troy Press.

in due season. To those who have rendered
me their support, owe sincere thanks and
am most grateful for their confidence
They will, I am sure, make an earnest
effort in the approaching contest, which is
rendered especially important, by reason of
the Industrial and financial policies of the
government being at stake. The popular
decision on these issues is of great moment
and will be of far reaching consequence.
Very sincerely yours,

1t is assumed that none OF the reforms in
that tariff which it is proposed to embody
in separate bills can receive the
sanction of the senate and executive,
and become enactments. This do
dot regard as altogether certain, but
suppose the assumption is to be fully
warranted by experience, and that in the
coming presidential contest, the people Will
indorse by their votes the action of the
house. Then, in the next congress, or the
next session of the Fifty-second congress,
it would be wise to renewedly present the
detailed measures in question rather than
general bill. for, in the face of decided rati-
fication o. them by the people, it would be
difficult to see how they could be rejected
And if accepted. even in part
the future work of reformin
the tariff, either by a general
bill or in detail, would be comparatively
easy, for every interest deprived of further
opportunity to sit under the public, would

facturers when this commodity was put on

formers; suggesting the fable of the old

An Appalling Disaster.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA disaster, appall-
ing, IN Its horror, bringing to mind the occur
renee at Park Place, still fresh in the pub
lie mind, occurred in this city at an early
hour this morning. The Hotel Royal, the
well known landmark which has stood for
more than quarter of century at the
southeast corner of Sixth avenue and
Fortieth street, was burned to the ground
and large number of people were burned,
suhocated and crushed in the ruins. At the
time of the disaster there were nearly one
hundred and fifty guests in the hotel. The
hotel employees, in toto, number tifty-iee.
OF this number of people five have thus far
been found dead, six are in the hospital and
sixty-three have been reported alive.
ONE HUNDRED ARE STILL MISSING.
The number dead will probably exceed
thirty.
The scenes were heartrendiug, and ap-
paned even the firemen and policemen used
to terrible scenes.
Soon after the fire broke out ambulances
arrived from the various hospitals. Many
physicians, whose residences were in the
neighborhood, were quickly on the scene
and did all they could to relieve the in
jured.
Nearly every one of the 1914 rooms, which
the hotel has on It's five floors, was occupied
by guests: many of them were transient.
In fact all the rooms save four had been
taken at l O'Clock this morning, when
Richard Mears, the proprietor, went to
bed.
The flames burst forth from some I'M
known origin near the elevator shaft about
8 O'Clock and the entire building was in
stantly enveloped in flames
The dead, missing and injured reported
are as follows:
DEAD.

have jumped from window and killed her
