upon to give up their lives that a
remedy for suffering mankind may be
sought for. They will be exposed to
the disease in it's various forms in or
der that the degrees of contagion may
be learned. They will be inoculated
with the bacilli and watched, studied,
treated and experimental with while
the disease develops and in cases they
will be painlessly killed that post NOR
TEN examinations may be conducted
and the ravages of the now incurable
sickness on the various functions of
the body at its different stages learned
In this way it is hoped that rem
edy may be discovered. In this way
only can it be hoped that any remedy
will be found. The apes experimental
upon will die in the best of causes
and their deaths will be justified as
the one possible way in which there
can be any hope of discovering the rem
edy for the disease most dreaded of
all the ills that flesh is heir to.
Observation-Disclosures may oppose such
experiments upon living subjects. 1t
is most probable that they will oppose
them, but if there be the least prob
ability of discovering the serum that
will render the bacilli of leprosy in
nocuous the sacrifice of the apes will
be justified. Science has agreed that
n remedy can only be found along
these lines and along these lines it
will be searched for.
ANIMALS IMMUNE.
The records of the Molokai settle
ment show that any of the animals
so far taken there among the lepers
have an immunity from the disease. |
Dogs and cats live in the lepers' houses
and cattle and horses die |
there only of the same diseases as else
where. The disease does not affect
the birds kept in confinement and
rabbits and guinea pigs are kept there

without the contagion they are ex-
POSED to affecting them. Recently
lumber of monkeys have been taken
o the settlement, but these have not
,een there long enough to show wheth
IT they, too, are immune.
Neither, so far as can be learned,
las the disease been transmitted to any
nimal by incubation, although the
experiments made on rabbits and guinea
,igs throughout the scientific world
night have suggested such course in
egard to leprosy. Heretofore, how

THE DISEASE ABATING.

Even as it is, by reason of the vigor-
GUS policy of segregation carried on
so energetically by the Board of Health
of the Territory of Hawaii, in the face
of the passive opposition and some
times of the active opposition of the
Hawaiian people, the disease in the
Hawaiian Islands begins to show some
signs of abating. AT one time the
number of those confined in the Molo-
kai settlement, hemmed in between
beetling crags and a rocky and rough
sea coast, in their natural prison,
amounted to over twelve hradred. To-
day the number of unfortunates at
the settlement are only few in ex-
cess of nine hundred, although the is
lands are secured by the agents of the
Board of Health and all suspected per-
sons vigorously examined and the af-
ficted ones sent at once to the settle
ment, the rules being more strictly APP
piled now than at any time. That
the number of lepers is decreasing is
encouragement enough for the author
titles to pursue their present arduous
and expensive work, even in the face
of mutterings from the people, by whom
their humane efforts are often misun-
derstood.

Young Evidently Seeks Notoriety.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Dispatches
have been received at tho state de-
partment concerning the reported ex-
pedition of several Canadians, led by
Capt. Young, of the Ninety-sixth regi-
ment for Isle Royale in Lake Su-
perior with the intention of hosting
the British flag there and declaring
the island a part OF Canada. There
has never been any question between
Canada and the United States as to
the United States ownership Of the
island A dispatch from Port Arthur,
Ont, says: Capt. Young returned
hast night from Isle Royale, where, he
says, he was successful in planting
the British flag without opposition.

Must Pay MORE Taxes.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug 5.-The con,
troversy between the coal producing
companies in the anthracite region
and the officials of Lackawanna, Lu,
2erne and Schuylkill counties over
the question of coal land taxation has
about reached n head and unless the
courts interfere the companies will
be compelled to pay more taxes this
year The interest of the public in
the matter Is whether the companies
will raise the price of coal at the
mines in case they are forced to pay
the increased tax. While 1t Is in the
power OF the coal companies to do so,
1t is not believed that they would take
such a step.

in a helpless state. The woman was
removed to a hospital, where II was
found that her skull had apparently
been fractured. There was evidence
that she had made q courageous fight
From what the police were able to
learn from her she was surprised by

years Of age. He escaped
Just before Mrs. Bulger was as
saulted, George Kestner, a Russian
charged with attempted assault upon
an S-year.old girl, was set upon by a
crowd of men and all but killed. The
clothes were torn from his body and
he was taken to a station house

PHILADELPHIACO.,
Which Controls the Public Utilities
OF Allegheny County, Is Being
Attacked in the Courts.

Pittsburg, Aug 5.-What promises
TO be hard fought and sensational
legal battle is now in progress be-
tween the city of Pittsburg and the
Philadelphia Co, S1000O0,00O sub.
sidiary concern of the United Rail-
ways Investment Co., OF San Fran
cisco, which controls the public utlli-
ties of Allegheny county.
An effort is under way to annul the
charters OF the company. Gov STU
art, OF Pennsylvania, was first ap-
pealed to with a view to have the at.
torney general of the state enter pro-
ceedings In quo warranto against the
Philadelphia Co., but the governor
refused TO give any Instructions to the
attorney general, desiring the litiga-
ton should be brought to that Off
cials attention in the regular manner.
This has been done and the litigants
are now awaiting his reply.
In the meantime the local govern.
ment Is taking vigorous action to col
lect nearly $750000 arrearage bills
for bridge tolls, street cleaning along
the right of way of the Pittsburg Rail-
ways Co. a subsidiary company, and
for back rent forstreet cars. An injunc-
tfon restraining the Philadelphia Co.
from raising the price of natural gas
five cents thousand feet has also
been filed in the local courts.
Mayor Guthrie, of Pittsburg, ia
leading the fight to put the company
out OF business and arrayed with him
are the mayors of Allegheny and Nc
Keesport and the officials OF boroughs
and townships throughout the county.
The fight against the Philadelphia
Go. has been brewing for some time
and was brought to a head recently
when the company announced n 20
per cent. increase in the price of nat
ural gas. The advance was actuated,
the company said, by scarcity and the
increased cost of bringing the gas to
this city from western Pennsylvania
and West Virginia. The city govern
mont issued several statements alleg.
ing there is no scarcity of the product
and that the cost OF transportation Is
the same.
The trouble is attracting much at
tention throughout the country, espe-
clally In this vicinity, where over
one million persons are affected by
the control of the gas, electric light
and Street car facilities by the Phila-
delphfa Co.
