VICTIMS OF LEPROSY
SENT INTO EXILE
FATE OF THE GARRY SISTERS
Banished to n Cabin In the Hills
With No Companion save Their
Devoted Mother.

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 27.-Hattie Garry,
twenty-five years old. and her little SIS
ter Hannah, twelve years old, are slowly
dying of leprosy in their mothers cot
tage. in New Lexington, Ohio. They will
be taken to a cabin in remote part of the
Perry County hills and isolated. The
mother will go with her children and share
their Imprisonment, never leaving them
saving to get food, coal and clothing, which
This will be Ohios "leper county" its

DR.. Charles o. Probst, secretary Of the
State board of health, has Just investigat-
ed these cases. He found the girls to be
genuine lepers. Hattie, the elder has the
disease in an advanced stage.
Mrs Garry is a soldiers widow The
leprosy in the children is hereditary, for
the father had it before the birth OF his
daughters. He contracted it in the South,
while soldier in the civil war. The dis
case did not manifest itselft at first.
Not till after the fathers death, when
Hattie was ill, did the bright red spots
appear on the child's hands, toes. elbows
and knees. the brilliant crimson trade
mark of leprosy which an expert would
have recognized But Mrs. Garry did not
nor did anybody in the village of New
Lexington, where Hattie played and went
| to school with other children. Not until
| long after the red marks had Become
white, scaly patches did the mother sus-
| pect what the trouble was. Then she Sc
| creted Hattie.
| Later little Hannah developed the same
| symptoms, and she, too, was kept a close
| prisoner at the Garry cottage. With the
| utmost care the mother hid the children
! from suspicious eyes and concealed the dis
| ease from the public
| Mrs. Garry had to struggle to make a
| living for herself and the children. Final
| ly she could not keep up the battle and
told her story to the county authorities.
| Naturally, New Lexington was panic
| stricken. Then came doubts OF the dis
ease really being leprosy. But experts
| were summoned, and it was found to be
| really the dread disease, and the case was
| reported to the State board of health.
The mother in going with her children
| to the refuge agrees not to leave the
| lines set about the place or to mingle
| with the outside world. In thus resign
| ing the pleasures OF the world for her
| afflicted children the mothers affection is
shown. The township authorities will keep
her supplied with the necessaries of life,
delivering them near the house.

GENERAL GREENE'S PLAN
FOR QUIETING CUBA
WORK AN ANTIDoTE FOR Ills
Believes the American Troops vii.
Have No Difficulty In Securing
Peace in the Island.


Get the Cubans to work as promptly as
possible and pay them fair amount from
the revenues of the island for their serv-
ices
This is the advice which Maj. Gen. Fran
els V. Greene gave to the War Department
yesterday as one of the quickest and best
means of re-establishing peace and order
on the island. Gen Greene went to Ha-
vana several weeks ago to arrange for the
reception and care of Gen. Lees corps. He
passed through Washington yesterday on
his way to New York and while here he
spent an hour with Adjt. Gen. Corbin, dis
cussing the situation in Cuba, He was Civ
en- permission to proceed TO his home for
a days visit to his family. He will return
here tomorrow to confer with the Presi-
dent and the War Department authorities
about affairs in Havana. He will then re-
sign his commission.
Gen. Greene takes an optimistic view of
the Cuban situation. He told Gen. Corbin
that, while there might be trouble in the
maintenance of order pending the transfer
of authority to the United States military
authorities. he felt confident that the num-
Der of troops which the department con-
tempiated sending to Havana would be
quite sufficient to prevent any serious
trouble He believes the American troops
will have no difficulty in maintaining or
der after January /.
He urged the Importance of using as
large a fund as possible from the revenues
of the island for public improvements in
the large cities, particularly Havana. He
favored this for sanitary reasons, and also
to provide employment for the Inhabitants
He has no doubt that the members of the
| Cuban army will quickly accept civil en-
ployment if given an opportunity. He had
already seen evidences of industry among
the CubanS.

JEERING AUDIENCE
GREETS A SPEAKER

Richmond. Va. Dec. 27.-Mason Mitch
ell. who was giving an illustrated lecture
on the battle of Santiago at the Academy
of Music here yesterday afternoon, was
jeered when he referred to the manner in
which the colored troops conducted them
selves Mr.. Mitchell rebuked his listeners
for manifesting this feeling against the
negro soldiers. Richmond, he said, had its
own troops in Cuba, and he thought it bad
taste in its people to show this feeling
toward the colored troops. Mr.. Mitchell
had a very large audience, many of whom
were disposed TO be very flippant in their
reception of the praise of the colored SOL
diers who took part in the fight at Santi-
ago. During the kissing a man in the audi
ence arose and proposed three cheers for
the American soldiers. This call was re-
sponded TO.

An Employment That LIS Not Barred

Out by the Statutes Against
Coming Bogus Money.
Coin counterfeiters have just discovered
a new field for. the exercise of their tai
ents in the eounterfeiting of trade checks.
Chief Wiikie, of the Secret Service of the
Treasury, says he expects to learn soon
that this particular species of counterfeit
ing had assumed large proportions.
Trade checks are largely in use in the
West and Northwest, where they are is
sued by stores and other institutions.
They are of metal, usually aluminium, and
are received back by the stores issuing
them in payment for goods They re-
ssmble silver coin in their size and shape,
and usually call for goods to the amount
Of 81 from the store at which they are pre-
sentable. They are used in the payment
Of employees in manufacturing institutions
to a considerable extent, and have lin
tied local circulation as a substitute for
currency.
Owing to the resemblance of the checks
10 coins, Chief Wilkie tried TO have their
manufacture and use stopped under the
counterfeiting laws of the United States,
but when a case was brought to trial in
the courts il was decided that even under
the sweeping terms of the counterfeiting
laws they could not be held TO be coun-
terfeits of United States coins. Now, ac-
cording to MIR. Wilkie, the persc@ issuing
these checks are liable to suffer heavy
losses by having their checks counter
feited.
AS a rule the checks are simple in de-
sign and very easily" initiated so closely
that IT is doubtful If even an expert could
distinguish between the genuine check
/ and the counterfeit, and a counterfeiter
supplied with a stock of checks can pass
/ them practically without limit in the
neighborhood in which the checks of that
particular store circulate.
As the checks are not in any sense
money or United States securities, the
| counterfeiting laws do not apply to them,
/ and il is not the business OF the experts OF
the Secret Service TO hunt them down,
/ Their manufacture. therefore, is much
safer than counterfeiting coin. Mr.. Will
kie thinks il probable that the effect of
| the counterfeiting checks will be TO drive
them out of use entirely.
