Fearful
Fate Of
Lepers

According to Wellesley G. Bailey su-
perintendent of the mission to lepers
in India, there are 100000 lepers in
India and the east The condition of
these afflicted people is terrible and in
many places they are treated with
shocking barbGrity.
In China several years ago man
DARN attempted to stamp out the dis
ease in an atrocious manner He in
vited all the lepers to a great feast, set
fire to the building. and all who es-
capped the fire perished by the swords
OF the troops surrounding the build
ing. Within the last few months
terrible story has reached us from one
of the missionaries of the Rhenish
Missionary society of the burning alive
OF at least forty lepers in Sumatra.
We are told by lepers from Nepaul
in the Himalayas that to be a leper
there Is to incur the death penalty, and
in order to avoid this fate they some
times flee into British territory. Even
in some places where the leper is not
allowed to be put to death he is treat
ed with great barbarity. In Japan they
are called "hinim." which means not
human" In India they are often

UP-To-DATE ENTERTAINMENT:
Lyman II. Howe's Moving Pictures
Are Really a Treat

An ordinary moving picture enter
tainment Is now not much more OF n
novelty than would be one OF the old
fashioned magic lantern shows, and to
make an entertainment OF this kind
really entertaining 1t is necessary to
make the novelty novel This has been
successfully accomplished by Lyman II.
Howe, who gave his mutoscope exhibit
tion at the high school auditorium last
night, as the second number OF the high
school lecture and entertainment course.
Besides having collection Of unusually
fine pictures, Mr.. Howe has up-to-date
ideas In the matter OF presenting them.
With the assistance Of a good sized
corps Of property men, who cleverly
accompany" the pictures with imita-
tions of the sounds one would naturally
hear II on the scene, the height OF real
ism Is attained. The marching of a
troop OF cavalry accompanied by the
clack OF the horses feet on the pave
ment and the clack Of the cavalrymen's
sabres was Il particularly fine bit OF
stagecraft.
Among the pictures were a number
showing scenes connected with Pres
ident McKinley's death. One In which
he Is depicted delivering his last speech
at the exposition, Is remarkably dis
tinct and otherwise perfect. IL is claim
ed TO be one Of the most valuable
moving pictures in existence.
There was Il large audience and IL
was very demonstrative of its apprecia-
tion.-Scranton Tribune Nov. 26, 1901.

Boy and Oil Can.

Last Friday afternoon Frank Degnan,
young son Of James Degnan, returned
home from skating, was cold and the
fire in sitting room seemed to be en-
tirely out, and as there was no one in
that room, Frank decided to start n
fire in hurry, and he got the oil can
and poured oil In the stove. He had
turned his back to stove and walked a
few steps away from 1t when there was
an explosion, frightening Frank and
every other person in the house. There
were several neighbor children at Deg
mans and they ran home screaming fire,
the fire alarm was given, the firemen
responded promptly, but their service
was not needed. When the smoke had
cleared away 1t was found that no seri-
GUS damage had been done by the ex-
plosion. The stove pipe had been blown
down and there was more or less SCOT
In every room In house. 1t was very
narrow escape for Frank. Had the ex-
plosion occurred before he turned his
back to stove he would have been dis
figured for life, and perhaps lost his
eyesight,
