Dead When Found.

Special tothe Leader.
Woodsfeld, Ohio, July 12.-John
Uhl, a peddler aged about seven
ty years, was found dead in the Woods
field lumber yards Thursday morning.
He had been in an empty freight car
where he had bled considerably from
the nose and mouth and afterward he
went to the lumber yard where he bled
again and died. Mr.. Uhl was lying on
his face and evidently died of heart
disease. The body was taken to the
undertaking room of A. ]. Tubaugh
where Mayor Walton had post NOR
tenn examination held. DR.. j. w. Nor
ris made the examination and decided
that death was caused by heart disease.
There were no marks of violence and
the body had not been dead long when
found. Between eight and ten dollars
were in his pocket.

New York, July 12.-Investigations
regarding the number and histories Of
persons suffering from leprosy in this
country are being conducted by persons
connected with the urgeon-Generals
Office at Washington. These investiga-
tions, it is hopea, will furnish valuable
statistics and will open the way to
learning the best possible method for
checking the spread of the loathsome
disease. They have awakened the in
terest of hundreds of physicians in ev-
cry state, especially in Louisiana and
some western states, where the disease
has spread rapidly in recent years.
Cases have lately been reported of
persons living many miles from any
large town who have been stricken with
the disease. There was nothing to
show how or when the person contract
ed the disease. One such case of per-
son living in Minnesota was reported
at the meeting OF the American Medical
Association which was held a short
time ago.
The results of the Investigations have
so far revealed that there are six cases
in this city, six in Chicago and nearly
one hundred in New Orleans. Most OF
the persons reported to be suffering
from leprosy were born in foreign
countries. In the southern states the
majority of victims are Italians, and
in the western states, Swedes, 1t is
thought that there are about nine hun
dred lepers in this country.
ii am not thoroughly conversant
with the subject of leprosy," said
physician of this city to reporter yes
terday. From what l have hearc
about the number OF the victims of the
disease in this country have formed
the opinion that ,me radical steps
must be taken to protect the public ant
to prevent the spread of the disease
There is really no cause for any per
son becoming alarmed.
What is apparently troubling thephy
sicians who have been called to treai
leprosy cases is that the number. O.
cases has increased in spite of all thai
they have done to stamp out the dis
ease. The perplexing question is, wha
can and must be done now? thinl

MAY RESIGN
Understanding That the American Am
baSSadOr Will Leave Berlin.

Special to the Leader.
Berlin, July 12.-Although the Unit
ed States Ambassador, Andrew d.
White, recently denied that he intend
ed to resign, it is now learned from
a close personal friend of Mr. White
that he will resign next year, when he
will be seventy years old. Mr.. and
Mrs. White will not resume housekeep-
ing here. The household goods will be
partly sold and partly packed for ship
ment to the United States. Mr.. White
will live in hotel next winter and
Mrs. White will spend the winter at
the Riviera.
Mr., Whites decision to resign was
taken before the news of his sons sui
eide, at Syracuse, N. Y, reached him,
but it is believed that the young mans
death renders Mr.. Whites decision ir-
revocable.
Mr.. White is at present staying at

over the Ohio River except two high
way bridges, controlled by the Wheel
ing Transit company, which has thus
held monopoly of trolley suburban
traffic and has been enabled to charge
ten cent fares, and extinguish entirely
the suburban business of the Pennsyl-
vania. The Pennsylvania bridge, a
double track structure, will be remod-
eled at once for the trolley line. All
the trolley traffic will be landed at the
Pennsylvania Union Station, and a
switch to the freight house will put all
freigh traffic, for which the trolley peo-
pie have permits in the franchise, into
that station. The enterprise will cost
81 500, 600.

Sassnitz, Island of Rugen, in the Baltic.
Horace White, of Syracuse, sent dis
patch to Secretary Jackson early this
mornig conveying thenews of the death
of Frederick d. White, but did not say
that he had committed suicide. A tele-
gram sent to the Ambassador later
brought reply from Mr. White say
ing: Your telegram, fortunately, has
not reached Mr.. While. We have no
details as yet"
1t is understood that Mr.. White is
greatly shocked and depressed at the
death of mis- son, and that Mrs. White
has withheld the news of their sons
suicide.
From Berlin kilograms of sympathy
have begun to be received at Sassnitz,
some of the first being from Baron Won
Richhofen, the German Foreign MIN
lister. The German newspapers refer
sympathetically to the bereavement OF
Mr.. and Mrs. White.

The ex-senator Scored in the Col
umns of The CommOner.

LINCOLN, Neb-, March Z9--In today's
'Commoner, Mr. Bryan pays his re-
spects to ex-senator Hill, taking as his
text Mr.. HilTs recent letter to a Demo-
cratic Club in Baltimore.
He says that If Mr.. Hill means TO con-
denim the Chicago and Kansas City plat
forms. he ought to make the attack
openly and boldly. The Republicans he
says, pirate so much about safety" and
conservatism" that a Democrat ought
not to use the terms without explaining
what he means by them.
He does not take kindly TO Mr. Hills
suggestion that the Democracy must con-
ciliate the business interests of the couu-
try and wants to know If the Democracy
shall teach the business interests Dem
ocratic principles or at their demand
abandon them.
lie concludes as follows:
MI Hill is SO skiUful in the use of
words that ne should have no difficulty in
making his meaning plain 1t is not nee
esssry fer him to borrow Republican
phraseoIogy- If he joints with Mr. CIeve-
land Ny Whitney e al. IL their effort
10 Republicanize the Democratic party
he viii be a power TO their side.
If he intends 70 cast his lot with the
six millions and more who kept the faith
in 1895 and 1890, he should avoid the YER
biage that Republican and Gold Demo-
Gratis have employed TO conceal their sin
lister purposes
