piOn. whose family name is Van Koop Brother
Serapion. according to an official communication

]. Dunn head of the local Catholic Society for
the Propagation of the Faith, became Ieper six
weeks ago, and at the time of the writing was
on his way to the lazaretto. stones throw
from the hut where Father Damien died
This is the first missionary to be attacked by
the dread disease since Father Damiens time
but according to Father Dunn the news was not
unexpected, as the young missionary had not
spared himself since he went to the Ieper colony
two years ago. Like Father Damien, Brother
Serapion will be segregated from the outside
world until relieved by death. He will be con-
fined in hut and dieted by a system which IS
believed to prevent the disease from spreading
Before going into his solitary life confinement
the young missionary wrote long letter to his
family in Belgium. and another, addressed to
the Rev. Father Maxine. director general of
the missionaries there. 1t was a copy of this
letter that was made public yesterday by Father
Dunn. 1t is dated at Kaluppa. twenty miles
from the lazaretto and in it Brother Serapion
writes:
The final examination has been made. and I
much II to be dreaded. In a few moments
I shall start for the lazaretto. l place myself
in Gods hands and ask the prayers of the faith
full.
Brother Serapion is thirty years old. and it
is said. comes from one OF the Oldest and noblest
families in Belgium.
II is said of him that he was fired by reading
the life of Father Damien, and Immediately left
the world and joined the religious community
whose life is devoted to the leper colony. His
friends and relatives made unsuccessful efforts
to persuade him to enter the priesthood in Bel
gium but the young nobleman said Belgium
was well provided with priests. while few could
be found to do "Christ's work in Molokai"
Father Dunn says that Brother SeFapion with
his naturally weak constitution. will live proba-
bly, two years. Father Damien lived FIVE years

ASLEEP ON WAGON.
Regulation May Soon Be Promu1-
gated


1t may soon be against the law, under
certain conditions, to sleep in the District
of Columbia The Commissioners, at the
instance of Commissioner West and Maj.
Sylvester, have ordered that the corpora
ton counsel prepare the draft of an anti
sleeping regulation.
The promised innovation is due to the en-
terprise of Lieut.. Daniel Sullivan. who was
recently promoted to that office and placed
in charge of the second precinct. 1t seems
that Policeman McGrath, member of the
second precinct bicycle squad, was patrol
ling 14th street northwest a day or two ago
when he saw the driver of delivery wagon
asleep at his post, the horse wandering
along the street at will. McGrath attempted
to secure an information at the Police
Court next day as the basis of a warrant
for the drivers arrest, but he was informed
that the mere act of falling asleep had
never been entered on the calendar of crime
within the District of Columbia, and the
issue of an information was refused.
When he heard of the case Lieut.. Sulli-
Sylvester, and the chief of police forwarded
the paper to Commissioner West, with the
following Endorsement:
DRIVERS asleep on their wagons and carts
is one of the causes of numerous accidents
in this jurisdiction, and If there is any way
by which this recklessness as 1t appears to
be, may be avoided it would be for the pub
lie good"
All three of the Commissioners took the
same view, and the matter went forward
TO the corporation counsel today.
