Mr.. Justice Maule once went on cir
cult with Judge Coleridge in a part Of
the country where the high sheriff was
a shy and modest man and very much
alarmed at having to entertain his Gym
ical lordship. Coming home in his
coach with the two judges, he thought
It his duty to make conversation for
them. He observed that he hoped
there would be better weather, as the
moon had changed. And are you
such a fool, Mr.. Jones, as to imagine
that the moon has an effect on the

Their Maule," said Coleridge, who was
politeness itself, you are very hard
upon our friend. For my part, think
the moon has a considerable effect up
on it," Then" said Maule, you are
as great fool as Jones is" After
which conversation in the sherih"s car
rage languished.

REFUSED TO NURSE A LEPER
and Miss DOu,hat Was Expelled From
Johns Hopkins Hospital.
THE DISEASE is NOT CONTAGIOUS
According to the Hospital Physicians, hut
the Young Lady Drew the Line at
This Case and stuck Fast to
Her Decision.

About a year and a half ago Miss Mary
Willis Douthat, daughter OF the late Field
ing Lewis Douthat, Esq. Of Wyanoke
Va. entered the training school for
nurses in the Johns Hopkins Hospital Of
Baltimore. Miss Douthat Is a charming.
refined young lady. but having natural
aptitude for nursing. took it up as her
lire-work She bravely faced all Of the
difficult. unpleasant work that surrounds
the life of a beginner I'm this avocation.
and won for herself strong appreciation
from both physicians and nurses for the
manner in which she performed her du-
ties.
LEPER AS 4 PATIENT.
Some time ago, the Johns Hopkins Hos
pitai received what the physicians con-
sidered valuable acquisition in the
shape of a genuine American leper, and
they have kept it there. not with any
hope Of curing g.. but that the doctors
might observe the progress OF the dls-
ease. The young ladies who are training
as nurses have been required 10 nurse
this loathSOme ease, 10 Is supposed. largely
TO vindicate the theory held by the Johns
Hopkins physicians that leprosy Is not
contagious. Notwithstanding that other
learned members Of the medical proies-
sion contend that this dreadful disease Is
not only contagious. but infectious.
MISS DOUTHAT EXPELLED.
About six months ago Miss Douthat
was required TO nurse this case. and
very promptly declined to do so. She took
the ground that she not only should not
put herself in the way Of contracting an
incurable disease bat that she had no
right to practice her profession among
others, TO whom she might communicate
this leprosy while nursing them. Naluing
Miss DOuthat's services the authorities
OF the Johns Hopkins gave her until Jan
uary lst. last. to reconsider her decision,
and then having again demanded that
she should nurse this leprous case. and
finding her firm in her refusal. they eN-
PEELED her. ......,.
II is stated that the Johns Hopkins
Hospital were not obliged to take this
case. nor was their object one or charity
IN doing so. They have taken and kept
the leper only on account or scientihc
investigation.
,ompetent authorities state that it
takes six years 10 develop a case or lep-
rosy. and It may he imagined what might
be the horror Of knowing that one Is
liable at the end OF that time 10 find lep-
rosy begun.
Miss Douthat's friends and relatives n
number Of whom reside in this city. are
OF the opinion that she has acted eX-
actly right. and honor her for her stead
ddstncss.
MARY sANsOME THE VICTIM.
A special TO The Times last night from
baltimore says: There is a well-authenti-
Gated case of leprosy az John Hopkins
Hospital. The victim OF the disease Is a
woman named Mary Sansome. She was
carried TO Pittsburg, Pa. some time ago
but the health authorities declined 10 let
her STAY there. and she was sent back 10
baltimore. where she has been for several
months.

une in search Of paper. He examined
and investigated the Tribune thoroughly
and decided it should receive his pat
ronage. Then the price? One dollar.
That was also satisfactory Terms in

That was satisfactory. too. His name
and postoffice were entered, and the re-
ceipt for the dollar presented him. he
looked at and fingered the receipt, and
inquired when the dollar was to be paid.
When informed that 1t was to be paid at
once. he said he thought the paper was
in advance; he was told that 1t was.
payable in advance. But" he said, 81
thought in advance meant to be paid ut
the end Of the year, like we pay our mer-
chants; that you advance the paper a
year before payment" and was dumb
founded when he learned the advance
was to come from his side!
We are very much afraid that this
fellows view Of the matter is the one
taken by many of our subscribers, from
the way they are acting, and we wish
to call their attention to the fact that
in the newspaper business the advance
is to come from their side.
