Sc ha comprobado Que ell
LazaretO estaba en- un estado de
abandono incredible, pues Dor dis
posicion del doctor Schimer Sc ha
mandado lavar y blanquear con
soluclon antiseptica La casa que
slrye de asilo a los leprosos, 10 cual
prueba que SO hallaba en- un esta-
do lamentable. Y dispuso tam
blen que SO prestara mejor aten-
clon al servicio de cocina.
I encOntro, que debajo de la
casa-asilo hab1a un gran hacina-
mlento de basuras Y botellas va
c1as; y que los muebles, toallas
otrOs utensilios de los leprosos
muertos eran ntilizados para ell
servicio de los leprosos vivos. Esto
es horrible inhumano. Esto de-
muestra como cumplen con sus de-
beres los empleados del LazaretO,
que ell DR. Fernandez Mater cobra
ba su sueldo sin siquiera girar una
vista de inspection a aQuel esta-
blecimiento. Y este senior, que no
Sc cuidaba para NADIA de La linz e.
"a de aQuel establecimiento, es ell
mismo que desde hace cuatro
cinco amos viene desempenando ell
cargo de Official de Sanidad de La
capital de La isla.
Y estos hechos no podra des-
truirlos la comision nombrada.
Pero hay otras cosas mas gra-
YES que todav1a no han salido La

siOnados nombrados.
Por ESQ nosotros pedimos que
SO nombre otra comision que ofrez-

y al Attorney y al Auditor, los
cuales, auxiliados por ell doctor
Goenaga, podrfan hacer una in
vestigacion mas imparcial, mas
.justa, mas honrada que La que

Pero no Sc nombrara; porque
hay inter6s, desde Ell gobernador

queden envueltos en- la mayor i'm

SAVED BY A ST. BERNARD.

The SO-year-old father-ln-law Of
Frank Il. Early a trucknan Of Gem
eva, n, T., started to walk to Phelps
on the Lehlgh Valley railroad track.
He was accompanied by an ll-months-
old st. Bernard pup.
Whenever a train would approach
from either direction the dog would
get IN front Of the Old man, stand sim
and bark until he got off the track lie
kept this up until they had almost
reached Phelps, when the old man slip
ped on some ice and fell.
The westbound passenger train was
laundering along at high speed a short
distance behind him. He had struck
on the rail and was so injured that be
could not move The engineer gave the
danger whistle and put on the air
brakes
The dog seemed to realize the dan
ger stopped barking, and running up,
caught the old man by the collars Of
the coat and by main force dragged him
Off the track Just as the train went by.
The dog came home Saturday night
The family had missed him during the
afternoon and evening. not knowing
that he had followed the old gentleman
away, When the old man returned to
the city by train he told what had hap
pened, Rochester st-EXpress.

New York, Jan. 2l.-Annle Russell re-

received a cordial welcome. This is an
actress who never has fallen back In
public favor. She has been playing In
New York for almost 80 years and each
season holds her old admirers and finds
new ones. Miss Russell made her debut
at the age OF five in a child's "Pinafore'
company at Booths theater. She was
born In Canada and Is the eldest OF
three children, each Of whom won sue
cess on the stage without inheriting
any OF its traditions. Her sister Marion,
the beauty Of the family, followed An
