A Smart AleGk Correspondent
Creates Excitement
BY Reporting Case of Leprosy to
Toledo Papers.

Monday mornings Commercial contained
an account of case of leprosy in Napoleon
which has proven fake pure and simple.
Lee Lung is an oriental who has been n
knight of the suds in this city for about two
years and besides having the appearance OF
a cadaver week inhumed, he has proven a
good citizen, paying his way, and giving
value received as laundry man.
For some time he has been doctorinp fo,
sore eye which the doctors pronounced
erysipelas aud which was an aggravated
case, the optic being distended and HAVING
horrible appearance. Add to this his gen
eral demoralIzed condition and we have
makeup which with a morbid Imagination
on part OF the Commercial correspondent,
produced the report of leprosy.
No little excitement and indignation was
manifest on our streets, which was greatly
increased by receipt of kilograms from
leading city papers for particulars, and also
from the state board of health to our local
board.
BY order of the mayor who is chairman
OF the Health Board, DR.. Harrison made a
thorough examination of Lee and reported
that beyond sryspelas there was nothing
the matter. A report em5odying this sab.
stance was at once wired the state board.
Up 10 date he almond eye-the cause of
SO much trouble-is greatly improved and
will be in shape for the Chinaman to travel.
when he will leave for New York. He has
the true migratory tendencies of the China
man and can remain in one place for short
time only.
VI course we will not be without repre-
sentative of the race as he has already
thrown the mantle and ''good will" of his
washe shope over his successor.
