RICHMOND VA. Feb. 19.-The
people In This city and indeed. all

at The ripmor current iIere that the
railroads operating heween Richmond
and Norfolk, instead of reducing tt4.
railroad fare from the capitol to the
city by the sen during the exposition
year. are preparing to raia the rates
10 the limit. 1t Is understood on
what Is considered good authority
that the round trip fare between
Richmond and Norfolk will not be
less than $3.50 and may be as high
as three dollars. The summer ex-
cursion rate to Nonfolk is only one
dollar round trip. 1t had been pre-
snmei that the rate 60 the EXPOSE
ton would certainly be a5 low as
The summer excursion rate. Nothing
definite has yet been done in the
matter. but 1t is understood thar
the railroads are getting together
for the purpose of fixing q rate.
Officials of the road will not talk
regarding the matter at this time.

FOR BABES BORN
ON MOLOKA|
A Modern Nursery Is Soon to
Be Built at the Set
Element.

Lumber is on hand and the work of
construction of the new Maternity
Home and Infants Nursery at the Mo-
lokai Leper Settlement will begin next
week.
1t is the plan of the nursery that as
soon as infants are born of leprous
parents in the Settlement they shall
be taken to the nursery and there cared
for until they can be sent to the Ka-
piolani Home for Girls or the presently
to be established Waimea Home for
Boys. In this way 1t is expected to
keep infants born in the Settlement
free from any contagIon of the dis
ease.
1t is one of the curious things about
leprosy that the children of lepers are
always born clean. They have, so far
as is known, no faint of the disease
when born. If kept from contagion
they may never have the disease. This
is one of the hopes and objects of
the nursery.
1t is built according to plans drawn
by President Pinkham and provides
room for sixteen infants together with
accommodations for nurses, kitchen,
baths and other conveniences.
President Pinkham also hopes during
the year to build the hospital at the
which has been planned.
This will contain a contagious diseases
ward and a ward for other than con-
tagious diseases.
There is need also of better accom-
mediation at the Settlement for the in
sane. There are now FIVE or six in
sane patients at the Settlement and
the only place where they can be kept
isein the Jail compound.
