"LEPRosY's CAUSE FOUND IN FISH
That is the Statement Made BY "A
Fellow of the Royal Society of
England.

That is the Statement Made BY "a
Fellow of the Royal Society of
England.
From the Philadelphia Press.
London, April 19-Jonathan Hutchin-
son, F. R. S., the distinguished surgeon,
who left town for India and Ceylon at
Christmas, has just returned from his
tour of investigation. 1t was Mr..
Hutchinson's purpose to clear up the
mystery of the causation of leprosy.
He has held for thirty years the theory
that the consumption of decaying or
imperfect cured fish is the cause of the
disease. The members of the London
Polytechnic have Mr.. Hutchinson's prom
Use to lay before them as soon as possi-
BILE the results of his work. 1t may
mind the Indian evidence is all in favor
of his theory. Even those Brahmins
and others who are forbidden by their
religion to eat fish are found frequently
to indulge in the delicacy sub rosa.
Certainly it would be extremely salts
factory if Mr. Hutchinson's theory were
to prove valid, for hardly any other of
the few really important diseases
would then be so easily preventabe
instance in medical science where one
observer of the first rank is opposed
to one and all of his professional breth-
rem in every country under the SUM-
This is practically the case here. In
his long and notable career Mr.. Hutch
inson has already been more than once
in this position before, and has been
proved to be right.
To tell the truth, this is hardly likely
to be the case here. The fish hypothe-
sis did not originate, as the Pail Mall
Gazette states, in Mr.. Hutchinson's
visit to Robben Island, off South
Africa, last year. 1t was formed by
Mr.. Hutchinson almost before we had
conceived the germ theory of disease.
Since then Hansen, a Danish observer,
has found the bacillus lefrae Workers
who have had to test the Hutchinson
hypothesis have never been able to find
the bacillus in any form of fish what
soever, and the text books of all lam
guages merely refer to his views with
deferential amusement. The universal
belief now is that leprosy. like tubercu-
losis and most of the rest, is at bot
tom, a filth disease. In no part of the
world has it survived proper hygienic

TEACHER WAS ARRESTED
A dispatch from Gainesville to the

prove a very sensational case at the
coming term of the Circuit Court
should the grand jury find true bill.
The professor has been arrested upon
a warrant sworn out by Mrs. w. Lee
Smith, one of the patrons of the school.
who alleges that the defendant did, on
a certain date, cruelty and without
mercy beat her 11-year-old son, Dom

bruises upon the child. The warrant
was served just as the afternoon ses-
sion of the school was about to con-
vene. Prof. Wideman was taken before

ton, when he was placed under bond

GETS QUEER LETTERS.

Atlanta Constitution: Many curious
recommendations turn up in Gov. Ter
relrs mail and from the nature of some
of the requests made on the chief ex-
ecutive there would seem to be an i'm
nression in certain quarters that he is
all powerful. Two came yesterday
which are somewhat out of the usual
line. One of these was from a little
how in Colquitt county, and came in
one of the envelopes with printed ad-
dress which Gov. Terrell used during
his campaign. 1t said in effect: Dear
Governor: AS 1 have this envelope
thought l would write you and ask
YOU to send me a package of chewing
gum, as they don't have any down
here. Please send me the chewing
gum" Gov. Terrell turned the letter
over to one of his secretaries, who
said he would undertake the job of
supplying the little fellows want. The
other letter came from Berkeley, Va,
and was signed by John F. Dalby.
Dalby stated that he was the owner
of a silver dollar made in 1899, the
year that Gen. Washington died. Il
will take 81, 900 for it," Daily states;
please let me hear from you" Not
heing a collector of ancient coins, Gov.
