PHILADELPHIA LEPERS.
Progress of the Terrible Disease in Three
Patients at the City Hospital.

Patients at the City Hospital.
DIR. Welch, the physician in charge of
the Municipal Hospital, exhibited
photographs of the three lepers now at
that institution, showing the progress
of the disease since their admission, to
Health officer Veale and Chief Medical
Inspector Taylor, yesterday. All pre-
sented horrible pictures of the ravages
of the disease, particularly that of the
Chinaman who was removed from q
hotel while acting as cook. 1t shows q
shrunken and shrivelled resemblance to
the human form. Rapid development
tograph of the female leper, who was
removed to the hospital from the
northern section of the city less than
year ago. At the time she was admitted
there were four discoiored patches on
! the unfortunate creatures body, while
the photograph shows that her entire
back, arms, and portions of her limbs
are now covered with leprOus blotches
of what is known as dry" leprosy.
The case of the poor woman, who is
now about 20 years old, is a very sad
one. About thirtyfve years ago she
nursed q Mexican who boarded at her
home, who was i'll with what was then
supposed to be elephantiasis Some
years later she noticed small dis
cOlored patch on her arm, which event
ually disappeared. She gave the mat
ter no further thought until several
years afterWard, when biotches began
to appear on her body The horrible
suspicion that she had leprosy forced
itself upon her, and she secluded her
self rigidly in an upper room of the
house in which she lived. Some time
later she went to hospital but was re-
fused admission.
She then secluded herself more strict
ly than before, if that were possible,
and last summer called upon Chief
Medical Inspector Taylor. She re-
quested that an examination be made
in order that she might know
the worst, without the POSSIBLE
ity of a mistake, in order that
she might be relieved from her haunt
ing fears, which were as hard to bear
as the reality An examination by DR..
Taylor, assisted by DR.. Ford, president
of the Board Of Health, and Dr. WEIGH,
of the Municipal Hospital, left no
doubt III their minds that the poor
woman was a leper. They informed
her of this fact as gently as possible
She was removed Immediately to the
Municipal Hospital, where the disease
has been gradually asserting itself I'M
til, as shown by the photograph, it has
covered the greater part of her body.
DR.. Taylor said yesterday that he had
no doubt she would die of old age
rather than the ravages of the disease,
being now over 20 years old.
Health Officer Veale said yesterday
that he had recommended to the Board
of Health that it strongly urge upon the
United States government the advisa-
bility of establishing a leper colony at
some isolated point, to which all leppers
should be removed as soon as they are
discovered, and there kept under a
strict guard until they die. In this way
only, it is his opinion, can this dread
disease be prevented from spreading
and be eventually eradicated.-Ph ila-

REUBEN came down to the office,
BALDI, and talked about several things
this morning. lie said that he thought
this GEANEs case was a terrible lesson
for any young man. LEE came in this
morning, pleaded guilty to an assault,
SQUIRE GUNTER placed him under a
bond of 800 and his trial will be the
Goth of this month. GEANEs life hung
by a slender thread-trembled in the
balances. GEANEs is a young mana
man who could have been respectable
but he allowed himself to lose his virtue;
to become ~entangled in the meshes of a
siren who allured, and he became impu-
IDENTITY brazen and defiant He took up
his lodgings, if reports be true, with the
Missouri SMITH; he is said to have been
cutting wood to cook the evening meal,
and so much did he feel that he was de-
Tending his home though it was a brOthel,
that he is said to nave made at LEE with
an IKE. Many men have gone wrong
and been dragged down but they were
most always willing captives.
But why the case Of GEANEs was par
ticularlY sad was the fact that but few
people ever cared to know his condition,
and at least a hundred men expressed the
wish that he would die. That was pretty
tough-tOugh t know that one had been
assaulted with a deadly weapon and the
physician could not say whether death
would be the result, but was afraid it
would, and but a handful of men cared.
This affair should teach the dare devil
boy anhthe young man bent on nocturnal
rambles that after all he is making char
actcr day by day-and that there is just
as much likelihood of a man becoming

THAT Err.

The rock crusher idea should be ever
lastingly talked about and hen we can
have some decent streets The $4,000
expended last year on streets was of
about as much permanent value as 5000
loads of sand cast in the sea. If it takes
what money is collected to repair one
block, let hat be done well The city
owns mules aud horses, and they could
be used hauling rock the laborers who
work out fines could assist in the work,
and within five years time the whole
city would have good streets which
would be permanent.
THE GLOBE has talked with a hundred
men on this subject, and the universal
opinion is that the crusher is the thing.
Will the city fathers look into the
matter and do some wok on a business
principle this year:

title. The great mass of democrats

CLEAN 1T Up.

MANY citizens of Durham have filed
complaint at this office, instead of going
to the proper officials, in reference TO the
c~esspools and fostering filth on Morris
street. Sewers empty in that vicinity
and there is not sufficient water to carry
away the putridity.
Already the hand of death has been
seen there-traced direct TO improper
drainage. Diphtheria, in its most malig-
nant form is now spreading in that vicln-
itv, and several children are low with
scarlet fever. So alarming has it become
that mothers with children are moving
away. as a matter Of life or death to those
they love.
There is no good reason why this state
of affairs should exist. When the light
was turned on the O'Briant building
people grew indignant to know that
such a place was allowed to exist. 1t
was thoroughly cleansed and fumigated.
But the cess pools of death near Morris
street are much worse than was the
O'Briant building.
1t is manifestly the duty CT the city
authorities TO act and act promptly in
this matter. If the sewers are emptied
there, and the refuse left to spread its
germs of death, no matter who is re-
sponsible, they should be dealt with &C
cording to law. Men have been arrested
and fined in Durham for emptYing the
contents of a bath tub on their own
land, within the city, and the authorities
sit idly by and see children die when the
disease, from which they die has been
traced by eminent physicians to dirt and
filth alone. Diphtheria breeds in dirt
and decomposed vegetable matter.
This is nc question to be treated
lightly, and something should be done.
That the filth of that section is RESPONSE
BILE for much of the sickness is past argu-
ment, for every season disease first shows
itself there.

Colonel COckerill Repents.
New York Morning Advertiser.

The editor of THE DURHAM On. c.
GLOBE, in common with a number of his
southern brethren, is assuming a m
what softer tone. We find him saying
now
The South is not talking about another war -
it sometimes thinks about the last ar, and it
has a right to think about it. The South ac-
cepted the inevitable-accepted it as became
brave men and good women < So far
as this editor is concerned, he had no use for
JEFF Davis. We have always believed that he
was sincere, and while he was, in our opinion
a traitor-the people who lived South, and who
followed Davis and who believed in Davis, had
an unquestioned right to do so-and if they
loved him, even if wrong, and the love, like
love is, was blind, we find cause to admire the
loyalty of the southern sons.
1t is a rare thing to find a democratic
editor in the South who has the courage
to say that he thinks Jefferson Davis was
a traitor. Colonel FairbrOther is wild
in his determination to purge the pen
sion rolls of its alleged frauds" and
"dead-beats" but he is not altogether lost
when he can express such opinions as
the foregoing.
We have been moved to sadness by the
attitude of many of our southern brethren.
We have grieved to find some of them as
bitter and as hostile and as prejudiced
and as misguided as they were thirty
years ago. Recognizing their great tai
ents we have labored-and to some pur-
pose, we think-to point out their errors.
Southern men are chivalric, knightly,
high toned and cultured. They possess
all the cardinal virtues, including Titanic
valOr and HOmeric heroism. They should
be the best friends of the restored Union.
They should be only too glad TO forget
and forgive.
We feel now that they are coming
around. The softening influence Of the
erstwhile fire eater, Colonel F~airbrother,
will be felt throughout the South as is
the voice OF the nightingale and the
zephyrs which whisper in The magnolia
groves, betraying the flowers that kiss
them.

IT HAS been remarked that the history
Of the Russian treaty affords a very stri
king example of what appears to be a
grave fault in existing institutions. This
refers to the fact that it is possible for
the senate to ratify a treaty without
giving that arrangement the publicity
that is demanded by the people. 1.-The
more obnoxious such an international
ageement is" observes the Boston
Advertiser, the more temptation will
there be TO withhold the treaty from
the public, so that it is possible that
the nation may be pledged to
most fragrant e%ntangling alliances
without any knowledge on the part of
the people for weeks, months, perhaps
years, after the bargain has been made"
"Manifestly," further says that paper,
"such a course is full of danger, and the
instance afforded in the present case is
only a new and strong argument for the
disc0ntinuance of the executive session
at least in times of peace" The intelli-
gent popular sentiment of the country is
PROFESSIONALLY opposed to all secret
business on the part Of the senate, the
abuses and dangers of which make it a
real and serious evil.
