MINNESOTA NEWS.
Leprosy Hospital.

The government commission appoln-
ted to investigate the extent of leprosy
existing in the United States has sub
mitted a report to congress which may
result in the blishment of leprosy
colony in Minnesota.
This state in particular may be selec-
ted for the reason that it has more le-
pers than any other northern state in
proportion to population. 1t is said
that there are now fifteen lepers in the
state, who are permitted to live with
their families and are under the obser-
walton of the state board of health only.
The commission is of the opinion that
two leprosy institutions ought to be es-
tablished in this country, one for north
ern patients and one for the southern.
This is recommended because 1t
would not be practicable to transfer le-
pers from one extreme climate to the
other with any promise of long con-
tinuing the life of the patient.
DIR. III. NJ Bracken of the state board
of health is in accord with this idea and
says an institution as permanent CO.
lony for lepers would not be anything
to cause an alarm.
With proper management such a
place would be no menace to the health
of the state or even to the locality.
The system would be great improve
ment over the present method OF keep
ing the disease under control
A farm of 500 or 600 acres would be
sufficient for the proper care of all le-
pers in the northern tier of states, but
nothing definite has been done to de-
eide that Minnesota is to be the place.

MONUMENT TO AVARICE.
Story With a Moral Told by GonzaIo
de Quesada, Cuban Minister
to This Country.

Gonzalo de Quesada, the Cuban min
lister, is one of the youngest diplomats
at the capital. He did not come as a
stranger to Washington. His out
spoken and constant advocacy of Gu
ban independence.be before the outbreak
of the last revolution forced him to
leave his native land and seek refuge
in the United States. With Estrada
Palma, now president; Nestor Ponce
de Leon and other prominent Cubans,
he formed the Cuban junta in New
York to further the cause of inde-
pendence. They made every effort
to send funds, supplies and munitions
of war to the insurgents. An appeal
was made to New York capitalists to
advance money on bonds authorized

and ultimately raised to satisfac-
tory standard of discipline and effi-
cheney. ''If Gen. Greene's intrinsic
qualities" it adds, "do not fit him for
the place in which so many predeces-
sors have been found wanting, there
is widespread misunderstanding as
to the kind of man he is or as to the
kind of man police commissioner
should be-"
Gen. Greene was graduated from
West Point in 1870 and was afterward
an instructor in the academy. He was
military attache of the United States
legation at ST. Petersburg from 1877
to 1879. He served in the war with
Spain, in Cuba, and the Philippines,
and soon after the war was made
major general. He is the author of a
number of works on military subjects.
Gen. Greene was president of the
Asphalt Company of America and the
National Asphalt company, and, up to
the time of his appointment as police
commissioner, was president of the
Eastern Trust company. He is re-
publican and was president of the re-
publican county committee in 1900.

AN OPTIMISTIC OBSERVER
Mr.. .JimSon's Opinions of Mechanical
Innovations and His Cheer
z Hf full Conclusion.

In machinery Ruskin saw only un-
loveliness. Much may be said in de-
Tense of his point of view, but some
thing also may be conceded to the
point of view of the plain person who
believes that the world is pretty well
ordered, after all. Such a plain per-
son is Joshua Jimson, whose large,
if not very closely reasoned, views
were recently set forth in the col
umns of the Chicago Record-Herald.
81 used to tremble,' said Mr.. JIM
son, "every time I heard of another
invention. First there was the now
ing-machine. Thinks ]: 'Good-by to
the poor boys that have been making
a living working on the farms But
I can't see s it ever made any differ
ence so far as needing help is con-
cerned.

binders and these thrashing-n.a-
chine. that do the. whole thing at

farmland. He may as well go away
somewhere and lie down and die.
There isn't any use for him any
more But farmhands seem about
as scarce as ever, and mebbe lit
tie more so. So I've just made up my
mind that I am not going to worry
any more about it. Let the inventors
keep on inventing all they please. l
guess there'n be sunthing for the
rest of us to do, no matter how
many patent rights they Keep get

"Why, look at those automobiles!

Judd Hawkins says to me: JOSH
says he, 4 guess this is going to
end it,
"'How SOP says I.
"'When they get to running wag-
ons without horses, they won't need
hay or OATS says he, and those
are the things where the farmer
makes most of his money, because
they're the easiest to raise
Don't you worry says I. You
just wait and see what happens
"And now look at it," continued
Mr.. Jimson. Here they've got so
many automobiles and electric things
kiting round you wouldn't hardly
think the horses could keep from
feeling lonesome, specially in the
cities, but oats are higher'n ever
heard of 'em being before.
"You can't make me believe that
God Almighty is going to let few
inventors down here upset His whole
calculations, and leave a lot O. stuff
lying round useless to spoil, SO I'm
not going to worry about it again"

by the revolutionary government, to
be paid when Cuba was free. Such
security was not tempting to reluct-
ant capital, but finally New York
firm made an offer to take limited
amount of six per cent. Cuban bonds
at ten cents on the dollar. The de-
mands of the hour were so pressing
that meeting of the junta was called
to consider the proposition. After
some discussion by other members
Mr.. Quesada rose to speak.
''My countrymen," said he, "this
morning I went into Wall street and
had the pleasure of meeting cele-
brated captain of industry, to whom I
submitted the proposition that had
been made and begged him to advise
us, which he kindly consented to do
what did he say?" asked the other
members of the junta.
His opinion" replied Mr.. Quesada,
twas that we should have the propo-
sition carefully engrossed and framed.
and that we should then preserve it
as monument to the avarice of the
nineteenth century,"

DASH FOR THE POLE.
Sergt. Fredericks to Make the Ven

One of the Survivors Of Greedy Expe-

ing the Summer.

Sergt. Julius Fredericks, one of
the survivors of the Greedy expedi-

made the sensational dash for the
north pole and reached the eighty
third parallel, will leave Indianapolis
early in the spring for another at
tempt to reach the coveted goal. For
several years he has been attached
to the government weather bureau
service, and it was supposed that his
experience with the Greedy eXpedi-
ton had satisfied his longing for adj
venture, but he has recently entered
into another arrangement, and his
plans are so far perfected that he
speaks with confidence of his coming
venture and believes he will achieve
the glory of reaching the long sought
north pole.
He expects to make the venture in

Fredericks is certain that the ship
will perform the desired function,
and says that, if he is not deceived
in his estimate, he will not only
reach the pole himself, but it will be

anyone else to do so. He believes
that he would profit by what he
knows to be the mistakes of the
Greedy expedition, the most impor-
tant one being the attampt to winter
at a point so far south that there was
no game to be had, and, in the alb
sence of other provisions, nothing to
