vote OF thanks extended to Professor
Simon Newcomb, the noted astrono-
mer, whose speech on the second day
of the conference was followed by the
request of Hugh Craig OF the chamber
of commerce that the conference guard
against academic Information" Fear
ing that Dr. Newcomb had taken the
remarks as an insult, the conference
determined yesterday to make what
reparation it could. Craig seconded
the motion for vote of thanks to the
professor and explained that he had
intended no insult. adding that he on
his own account would make repara-

Craig's standing as delegate 1t was

MUSIC AND DRAMA
Otie Chew Will PLAY

With the approach of the day on
which the womens orchestra is to give
its testimonial concert to its leader,
Harley Hamilton, enthusiasm seems to
grow. Miss Otie Chew, the English
violinist who was heard in recital on
Friday night, has become infected with
the general air of enthusiasm that per-
Vades musical quarters, and to show
her high regard for Mr.. Hamilton will
contribute two numbers to the pro-
gram, the Bach-Wilhelmj Air for G
String" and Svendsen's "Romanza."
Nine. Elsa Menasco will offer as a
cello solo Max Bruch's "Kol Nidrei," a
selection with which Anton Hekking
scored so decided a triumph on the oc-
casion of his first appearance in this
city December IS.
Harry C. Lott, the we'll known local
baritone. will sing two selections, the
one Schubert song, by the Sea-" and
the other Jensen's "Murmelndes
Tuftschen." The s,loists will be ac-
companied by the entire orchestra.
The program. which will be an
nounced in a few days, includes some
of the finest orchestral music written.
The musical fraternity seem to appre-
ciate this fact, as the advance sale of
reserved seats now on at Birkels
music store seem to guarantee a large
rouse of all who are anybody" in the
musical life of the city, either as club
members or as private musicians.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Dr.-A. S. Ash

New York today by announcing that
ever 100 cases are known to exist with

that in this number is a we'll known
member of New York's social 400" who
has a we'll developed case of the dread
disease.
Z A few years ago 1t was announced
that New York's leper colony had been
abolished, but Notwithstanding this
contention there are now five lepers
housed in one of the wooden sheds on
Blackwell's island, three Chinese. a
Russian and a Dane. They do their
own cooking and repair their own
clothing.
In warm weather they spend most of
their time sitting in the sun, fire.

smeared with Chaulmooga oil, a pro-
duct of India and a remedy as old as
eprosy itself.
The lepers have three large cats, to
which they are very much attached.
These pets are never allowed to get out
of their sight and are locked up in the
ward at night. There are two New
York women who go in and read to the
lepers one day every week, but their
Identity is kept a secret. During the
day a man nurse looks after the needs
of the men, but at night they are left
alone.
