LouisIonas Melancholy Eeper Colony on the Bonk. Of
the Mississippi.

There is place behind the levee
on the east bank of the Mississippi
eighty miles above New Orleans that
the river boats pass in the early morn
ing long before the passengers leave
their berths, SO 1t is not pointed out
as one Of the sights of the river. Per-
haps 1t would not be pointed out, any
way, as 1t could hardly be expected TO
enhance the attractiveness of the
route. The lazy plantation negro,
passing 1t on the river road, "gets a
gait on" his mule, because of a super
stitious dread, and to those even, who
fear only the material, the eerie at
mosphere brings a shudder. The char
acter of the place is little known, ex-
cept to the creoles of Iberyille, the
parish in which 1t lies, and to the
steamboatmen who bring supplies to it.
An uniformed person would suppose
1t was only one of the several deserted
plantations to be seen along the Mis-
sissippi, relics of Louisiana's 80 de
wah" glory, though larger and grand
err ruin than the others. Such it was

The children of the settlement were
all legally assigned there with one or
the other of their parents. Though
leprosy ig more prevalent among the
negroes than among the whites, there
are but seven negro inmates of the
colony. There has been but one es-
cape from the Enclosure; that of lad
who scaled the fence and got safely
away. About month after he had
gone the sisters received letter
thanking them for all their kindness
and informing them he was on his
way to the Sandwich islands. where
there was more scope for those of his
affection.

II is now a leper colony, the only ia
stitution of its kind in the United
States.
The identity of those confined at the
institution is maintained profound
secret and few outsiders are allowed to
enter the place. A permit, by no
means easy to obtain, must be pre-
scented before visitor is admitted.
The most tragic cases at the institution
are two young girls, both of them
beautiful, cultured and members of
prominent Louisiana families. Not a
mark has yet appeared upon the face
of either-but they wear gloves, al
ways. When the writer visited the
Enclosure these girls were sitting in
the garden reading to several children
and old men. A sister introduced the
writer to the girls without mentioning
their names. Both talked sheerfally

and without reference to their terrible
fate. Their cases are, of course, hope
less, all leprosy cases are.
Life in the settlement is by no means
as terrible for the most of the lepers
as one might suppose. Many of them
are perfectly able to do good days
work, but no labor is required of them.
What work they do is done Of their
own free will. Many OF them take a
great pride In their gardens. For
recreation the liveliest Of them play
croquet and even lawn tennis; while
those who are partly incapacitated

They have all sorts of indoor games,
