eyes and pitiful expectancy. They look
for it with that emotion with which
drowning man going down the last time
in the current suddenly finds the earth
under his feet aud his head above water.
They look upon it as a current OF discovery
flowing from the mysterious land OF
scientific research which may carry them
out again into the world which they can
see over the high board fence and through
the waving trees of their environment,
but from which they are as much exiles as
though confined on an island in the sea.
The fourteen lepers in the Pesthouse are
IN various stages of the disease. There is
the new conner, whose ewes are still bright
with hope and whose step is light; while
kept from sight, even as much as possible
from his fellow sufferers, is the miserable
creature held together by bandages,
almost too weaP to move, and waiting
patiently for death. Who knows that the
medicine may not be a panacea for him?
Science Is doing more every day for
humanity. 1t now seems to have extended
the welcome hand of relief to disease
whose birth dates from 1900 B. G. and
whose cradle was the valley of the Nile.
In those days lepers were permitted their
freedom, but they went about clothed in
long gray robes, with hoods concealing
their faces, and wooden clappers in their
hand TO warn all of their approach. 1t is
still generally supposed that contact with
lepeTs breeds the disease, but the latest
researches of science indicate that Ieprosy
is a constitutional disease and is not con-
tagious.
But while they conversed to a CALL

passed from their hands into the hands of
tradespeople.
Assistant superintendent Mcmillan says
he thinks there is no danger from this.
He has mingled With the lepers for long
time, but he does not fear taking the
disease. He has had the Pesthouse i'm
proved and cleaned In various ways. The
roof of the lepers' ward still leaks little
over the hall.
Frank Bindt said they were we'll fed and
quite comfortable. He had another
brother in the Pesthouse up to about six
years ago, but one night he elm bed over
the tall fence and ran away. He has not
been seer since. 1t is reported at the
Pesthouse that he is in the country some
where working under an assumed name
as farmland. His was a light case. All
three of the brothers were apprehended
and sent to the Pesthouse soon after ar
rival here from Honolulu.
When asked if there was not still dan

mo. You couldn't drive them away from
here with Gatling gun. They are too
well fed and cared for"
One of the lepers is a Chinese woman.
She said: me want medicine" Her
name is annie" This poor creature is
a sight. Sne has little room all to her
self in the main building away from the
men,. Formerly "Annle" did the washing
for the leper men. Lately she has been
growing too feeble TO work. She was paid
81 so for each washing by the City and
County. Annie saved her money and
bought one of those little organetteS such
as blind men are heard grinding on the
streets. There is slip of paper for each
tune, and Annie" has large number of
tunes, which she keeps in box at her
side. The organette sits on small table
before her.
The music which she grinds out is her
only amusement and consolation. She
plays often during the day. She played
for visitors yesterday and seemed pleased
at the opportunity. Sometimes visitors
leave her few cents.
Often in the middle of the night that
doleful little wooden box may be heard
playing while the wind Whistles an ac-
com panying requiem in the big trees over
the roof. Her favorite tunes are: Little

for the disease, with the result that almost
a ton of it is now practically on the way to
the relief OF himself and associates.
The fourteen patients comprise Mexi-
can, Pedro Pindora by name; two Russian
Firms, one of whom is quite cheerful and
Americans, and the remaining nine are
Chinese. There are no Japanese lepers
there. Frank Bindt has brother, Ernest,
in the institution. He has tried the Goto
remedy before ard speaks highly of it.
He said:
"At the island of refuge for lepers in the
Hawaiian group the medicine has been
tired, and according to report it has sue
ceeded in making a number of cures.
Several lepers who claim to be cured have
appealed to the Government to releas e
them, but the Government has not
done so. do not know whether they are
cured or not, but if they are no longer
iepers they should be allowed to go"
From your experience with the medi-
cine do you think cure is possible" Z" was
asked.
I'm cases where persons have been found
to have the disease in Its early stages l
think it altogether probable. The medi-
cine did me good-a good deal OF good. L
can't say just why l gave 1t up, but II 1t is
taken regularly and faithfully think
those vino are not IN the last stages OF
ieprosy may be cured.
"The trouble is" he continued, ''in get
ting those who have the disease TO keep up
the treatment. This may be owing to the
natural lassitude of lepers. For instance,
it is difficult to get Chinaman to take
medicine He may try it for a week or
two, but if he does not see or feel any i'm
mediate improvement he will stop it."
Describing the treatment Frank Bindt
continued: THE medicine comes in three
forms. There are little pills, a powder
which must be drunk in water and there
are medicated baths, to take two or three
times day. So you see that while we
have plenty of time and not much to do,
it requires some effort and determination
TO keep at the treatment"
"Are you going to take the treatment?''
Certainly"
"And your brother and the others?"
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-01
"I suppose So" he replied.

II suppose SO, he replied.
The first dose of the medicine will be
given this afternoon. Superintendent
Keating, and probably City Physician
O'Brien and Supervisor Beniam min will be
present when the treatment is begun.
The action of the great Japanese specific

in that world which they see but cannot

NARROWLY ESCAPED DROWNING
The Wife of Edward Leonard Drifts
Underneath q ScOw.

Mrs. Ed. Leonard had very narrow
escape from death by drowning Satur-
day, and the lives of her child, and two
other ladies were also endangered.
They were all in small boat, with Mr..
Leonard and attempted to cross in front
of the wood scow Flyer" owned by
Mr.. J. T. Peters, which with sails set
was slowly going up stream. The little
boat got too close to the scow and Mr..
Leonard lost control OF it, 1t drifted up
against the scow, and the powerful sue
ton of the current had tendency to
draw it underneath. BY main force Mr..
Leonard held the boat as long as he
could, while the ladies commenced to
Chamber out on board the scow. The
small boat was rapidly filling, however,
and when all were out but Mrs., Leonard,
he was compelled to loose his hold by
reason of the terrible pressure The
boat and its occupant floated directly
underneath the scow, but the boat mir
aculously remained upright, with Mrs.
Leonard lying down along the bottom.
A small boat from the scow was hur-
riedIy lowered and chase given to the
drifting boat. 1t was overhauled about
a half mile below the scow, about mile
down the river from The Dalles. When
found Mrs. Leonard was still conscious,
but her lungs were filled with water.
After laboring with her some time she
was fully resuscitated.
