Word has been received in this city Of
the serious illness in New Orleans of Mr..

Mr.. Hewlett went to New Orleans several
years ago and became a government in
spector on the new dry dockks and other
government work which Is being construct
ed across the mouth of the Mississippi
river A few days ago Mr.. Hewlett while
at work stepped into an elevator and start
ed to the top of the works. Just as the
elevator reached the top the cable snapped,
letting the cage in which Mr. Hewlett was
carried down to the bottom of the shaft,
a distance of about twenty-five feet. The
cage was demolished in the fail, and Mr..
Hewlett had one leg broken. He was at
once removed to a hospital.
= The break did not mend rapidly, and
couple of days ago. 1t Is stated, the leg

FOR THE SYRIAN LEPER.
New Yorker Agrees to Pay Expenses
Of a Nurse,

The Syrian leper now isolated on a
mountain side in West Virginia has won
a friend in Jefferson Seligman of New
York. When Mr.. Seligman, who is now
occupying cottage at the United States
Hotel, Saratoga, read yesterday of the
offer OF Charles Cossman a nurse at the
Montehorc Home, New York, to attend
the lerer without charge for his time If
some one would guarantee his expenses,
he was SO impressed with the offer that
he Immediately announced that he would
subscribe sufficient money to pay Mr..
Cossman's expenses for ten weeks on
basis OF $50 per week. In making this
offer Mr.. Selgman added:
THE best plan, of course, would be to
take the unfortunate man back to Syria,
but 1 suppose no vessel could be found
which would be willing to accept him as
a passenger. If Mr.. Cossman will take
his patient to some secluded place and
live with him, as he says he is willing to
do, for the mere actual expenses incurred
will be very happy, indeed, to do my
share toward providing for him. Please
announce my willingness to subscribe
5000 for that purpose"

Comstock and Art.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Mr.. Comstock's crusade against the nude
in art is as ludicrously pathetic as Don
Quixotes famous tilt with the windmills
Let us hope that 1t will be as ineffective.
There would have been some excuse for
such an occurrence had 1t happened during
the gloomy English reformation, when men
believed Cor seemed to believe) that God
made their souls and the devil made their
bodies. But in this athletic age. which is a
veritable renaissance of the f1esh such filthy
prudery is preposterous and inexplicable.
The most beautiful thing in the world lis
the nude human body. The artist sees in It
the primeval elemental man, stripped of all
the petty conventionalities Of an evanescent
age, and standing boldly forth as the
stock sees in 1t an "undressed" man. Truly,
the stupidity Of the pharisee lie unfathom-
able. GEORGE WEBER VAIL,
