LIFE TO CARE OF. LEPERs
sather conrady Is Preparing to Re,
lieve the Awful State of
Lepers in China.

New York. Feb. 3.-Father l.. l.
S'onrady, who was the companion of
Father Damien in his last days at the
Hawaiian leper colony of Molokai and
who succeeded him in his work there;
has just arrived in this city TO com
plete his plans for establishing leper
colonies in China.
Father Conrldy was born in Belgium,
and began his labors as priest in In
hia He first came to the United States
early in the '70s. and for fourteen years
t,bored in eastern Oregon among the
umatilla Indians and the few scattered
white Catholics of that district He
said of his work:
There are thousands of abandoned
victims of this dread disease in the vi
Unity of Canton. l saw many wretched
eases in Molokai, but the condition OF
the Chinese leperS is much worse
nothing short of appalling. When one
learns that a leper can be housed, fed
and given medical attention at cost
of 9 y cents Il day. it seems too bad
that something has not already been
done for them. l have secured the SER
vices of several sisters, members of a
religious community. which is conduct
ing two leper settlements in Japan, one
in Birmatey and one in Madagascar
the last having 500 inmates. 1t does
not seem to me that in any other part
of the world can the work of alleviate
ing human suffering be carried on lo
greater advantage"

selection and planting, and the other
half to wheat seed and the diseases to
which it is subjected. In this connec-

of smut and how practical remedy is
open to farmers to relieve their fields
of this nuisance. The remedy consists

A STARTLING ASSERTION
Professor Wilhelm ostwaid, of Le;psie,
Declares Human Science Will
Create New Man.

New York, Feb. IMAM, through MS al
yanced science, may develop into a Gre
ptor himself, in the opinion of Professor
Wilhelm Oswald of the University of Leip-;
sic In a lecture at Columbia university on;
the results of the attempts to create life
through chemical processes.
Professor OSWALD has given careful at,
tention to the experiments Of Professor
jacques Loeb OF the University of CALI
fornia, and announces with confidence his
belief that by slow development science
may even create a type OF LIE as high as
that of our domestic animals.
The steps will be slow; one form Of life
will be produced after another, and event
ually, the professor expects. something al
most akin to man in its physical being
may be produced
Professor OSWALD is a bold thinker and
n daring talker He belief that man may.
eventually usurpi somc Of the functions OF
the Creator Is, he says, based on careful
study and research.
OF the highest type. with the ability to-
propagate its kind, will walk the earth
as a product of advance science He con-.
elders this as certain as that modern me-,
chanical invention will take forward
strides in the coming century.
No Limit TO MANS Chance.
There is practically no limit to what
man can do in this direction" he said,
''Of course at first he will be able to pro-
luce only piece Of protoplasm. something
like the water hydra or the resemblance of
the sea urchin that Professor Loeb has
evolved. but 1t will be instinct with real
life and will be step in the new evolution !,
This evolution only can result in the ere,
alton Of something the equal of our higher
animals. bus what 1t will be who shall
say!
..It seems to me that the scientist who
does this will be able to determine the
physical form of his creation after the
development has started and he will have
created a new order of life, for this being
will multiply In its own form indefinitely.
Just the same as all our modern animals.
Il am not a biologist: / am Just a chem
list: can not say whether this creation of
man will be crustacean, amphibia1, mann
malian or whether biped, quadruped, !; fish.
fowl or reptile; / can only say that after
careful study of what has been accom-
plished ! am overwhelmed at the newt
able probabilities.
Through Chemistry Alone.
II know that by inorganic processes or
ganic being can be produced and future
generations may be furnished with Il liv-
ing object lesson in the doctrine of evol,l-
zion. Who knows but n new order ol
humanity may be created?
Our science is young. Some of the
most important branches of chemistry
have not been known but twenty years

their future home, but hard-hearted In
dian policemen, being informed of the

BOYCOTT FAILS.
Howard Merchants Angry at the Mil,
Maukee's Victory.

waukees Victory.
Sioux Falls. s. D., Feb. 1.-The Chicago,
milwaukee and ST. Paul Railroad COM
peny has won the first round in the boy
colt instituted against the company by
the business men of Howard. Recently
the Howard merchants signed an agree
ment to transfer their freight business to
the Chicago and Northwestern railroad
and haul their goods from Villas, the near
est point to Howard touched by the North
western road by team.
In pursuance of the agreement the mer-
chants ordered 4 consignment of goods
from their wholesale houses and supposed
the goods would be shipped to them over
the Northwestern road to Villas. But for
some reason, which the wholesalers will
now be asked to explain, the goods were
shipped over the Milwaukee road and
were hauled by that road through Howard
ito Villas. where the Northwestern crosses
the Milwaukee road.
This necessitated the hauling of the
goods by team from Villas back to How
ard, and the merchants naturally are very
angry over the fact that victory was
scored against them by the Milwaukee
company.
