Mayor Ellert's plan to send the lep ers
to the Molokai settlement of HawAii meets
with appreciation on all sides in this city.
Even the lepers themselves, the ones most
interested, favor the plan, and look with
pleasurable anticipation to tie proposed
change in their residence.
Perhaps the lepers won't be consulted
much by the authorities, since it is the
good of the greatest number that is sought
after in the administration of public
affairs. yet an expression of their desires,
their likes and dislikes in the matter. ought

was put to all the lepers whether they
would rather 60 to Molokai or remain
where they are.
a couple of the Chinese seemed not to
understand the inquiry, but all the others
declared very positively in favor of the
Hawaiian island.
Such disposition of these unfortunate
creatures would go long way toward
settling that long drawn out disputes over

She ran away from her captors when 1S
years old and travelled over greater por-
tion of the United States Disguised as q
boy. She worked In the mines in the
northern part of this State till she fell in
love with a peak-eyed yellow man from
Canton.
They were wed and then removed to
Chinatown in this city. Here the identity
of All Anna was discovered and made
known by some devilish highbinder, and
she was forced back into the br0thels Tor

tude. Claus Spreckels' reply to the May or's
letter relative to sending the lepers to
MOl0kai will be aw aited with considerable
interest on every hand. 1t is known that
Mr.. Spreckels has great deal of influence
at the islands, aud 1t is confidently ex-
pected that he will make use Of il in fur
tnering this plan.
Not only San Francisco. but the lepers
themselves, will be greatly benefited by the
change. AT MOlokai there are many lepers.
There the disease is STUDIED by eminent
physicians and the afflicted ones receive
better treatment than it is possible TO be-
stow upon them in isolated pesthouses.
The climate there is far more equable,
and the fact that so many lepeTs reside
there makes existence far more agreeable
than it can be where the patients are
locked up as prisoners in the heart Of a
great city.
There are ten lepers at the Twenty-sixtb-
street Hospital, as the Pesthouse is officially
and politely designated. OF these but five
will be sent to Molokai in case the pending
negotiations reach favorable conclusion.
Hall OF the ten are MongUlians, and the
other half Caucasians. The Chinese will
probably be depOrted TO the flOwery king
dom, as the Chinese Vice-Consul, King
Owyang, is said to favor that disposition
OF them. Should the other five be sent TO
Molokai, two of them. Frank and Ernest
Brindt. will be reunited TO their mother.
who is likewise leper
They are both young men, neither hav-
ing reached his twenty-tfth birthday. but
they have lived at the Pesthouse for nearly
seven years. The father and a sister of
the Brindt brothers live on ranch near
Santa Rosa. There are no Indications of
leprosy on either of them, and they have
lived in this State ior eight years.
There was another one of the Brindt
brothers, a man about 80 years old. He
escaped from the PesthouSe about month
ago, and is now in Chicago if he held to
the resolution he made before running
away.
1t was not q difficult task for him to
escape. nor would it be for any of the
imprisoned lepers to get away If so minded.
There is but one guard on duty al time
and the fence is not high.
But the ten lepers there now have no de-
sire to run away. They lead an easy, indo-
lent life. with no hard work to perform.
and their ratiOns are satisfying to them
and as healthful as may be.
The CALL man who visited the pest
house found the lepers lounging about in
the sun on the green grass or strolling
through the grounds.
They were laughing, chatting OF reading,
and seemed not to take life so hard as ont
might suppose.
On none of them has the disease gained
sufficient headway to make itself ap-

parent to the eursory view of one lacking
special knowledge Of the NANTES tations of
leprOsy.
DIR. Edward II. SamueIs, the resident
physician, who Is there only when small
pox or scarlet fever patients make his
presence necessary, was likewise taking
lie from sunny point of view when The
CALL man made his appearance. He sat
on the sunny front porch reading. Every
thing was very quiet and peaceful about
him and about the place.
A little to the left, on the green lawn,
sat two lepers playing cards. They were
An Anna and An Gem.
They appeared to be enjoying themselves
hugely, but decorously withdrew TO the
rear OF the main building at the approach
of stranger.
From Whatever point you approach the
Pesihouse, it is gloomy. dilapldated lot
of buildings, which either lack paint
totally or need repainting sadly.
1t sits hiRh on the brow of q knoll that
commands an excellent view OF South San
Franz cisco. Baden and the blue waters of
the bay. Yet the view Is not inviting,
either when looking toward the Pesthouse
or from it,
When YOU get around to the southwest of
q fence that is neither painted nor white
washed; so far as you can see, you find
big gate with little cubby hole in it and
bell-handle above the hole.
BY pulling the bell-handle, in ut]edieuce
to the instructions duly set forth on the
fence in rude black letters, you awaken the
day watehman to realization that there is
an outer world. and that somebody from
the outer world is seeking admission.
And when the day watchman. who Is
tall and very black of whiskers, hair and
eyes. and very red OF face, has opened the
big gate and let you pass in you see that
the long fence is, or was once, white
washed from an interior standpoint.
You see also. more closely and to
worse advantage than from the outside,
Heterogeneous collection of tumble-down
shanties and some old election booths.
On a sunny day 1t is an interesting old
ruin; but when the sky is clonded the
pesthOuse grounds-a full block in extent
must be desolation itself, and one can
readily imagine that the i'm Imprisoned in-
mates find 1t weary and dreary enough.
But now the sun makes ali things merry,
and ramble through the ancient ruins,
though fraught with more or less danger
from the possibility of topping rafters, is
not devoid of pleasure to the true anti
Quarian.
The iepers fight shy of visitors They
seem TO be as 10th to contaminate you as
you are 10th to be contaminated Yet
there Is no danger OF con,agion from the 4
