litical speakers address meetings
from the visitors enclosure. Rela-
tives from outside may visit their
friends, but all communication is be-
tween glass doors, so great is the eau
ton to prevent contagion. The relig-
ious life of the leper is not neglected.
There are six churches-Catholic
Protestant and Mormon. The pastor
of the Mormon church is leper. The
larger number of the lepers are Cath
olics. A Young Mems Christian asso-
citation does good work in both educa-
tional and moral lines.
The Baldwin Home for Men and
Boys has at present 1873 inmates. 1t is
in charge of the Catholic Brothers of
the Sacred Heart The Bishop Home
for Women and Girls, of which the Sis
ters of st. Francis have control, shell
ters 70. The devotion of the mother
superior and the sisters is marvellous.
All the nurses in the settlement are
Catholics, and in no other denomina-
ton could be found the conservation
needed for such mission. They sell
dom become lepers. The nurses re-
ceive $40 month and sustenance.
The Bay View Home, close to the
sea, cares for the helpless. Only %
are registered in 1907. About 70 en-
ployes, including helpers, clergymen,
officials and physicians, live at the
settlement All receive fair remuner
alton for service rendered. All lepers
outside of the homes have dwellings
of their own.
The Kapiolani Girls Home, in Hon.
olulu, takes care of all female children
of leprous parents. In it's experience
of 81 years, out of 105 received only
six had to be returned to the settle.
ment There is now under construc-
ton a nursery for the special care of
the infants until such time as they
are old enough to be removed to the
outside homes. A home for the boys
is in contemplation, on Hawaii, where
training in agricultural pursuits will
be given, as we'll as common school
education. The expense of the leper
settlement with all it's various
branches, IOr the year ISoo, eACeeueu
the sum of $1S5,000.
With the annexation of Hawaii to
the United States our government was
brought face to face with the problem
of the leper, and, as a result, there
will soon be established at Molokai
United States leprosy investigation
station, with skilled staff of physi-
clans who, with the aid of other dis
tinguished men of science, will make
every effort to solve the mystery of
the dread disease. Plans for the new
hospital have been under considera-
ton, and the enterprise is in charge of
an able young German physician sent
from Washington to superintend the
work.

musical tastes, wishing to change his

private family fond of music" The
next mail brought him the follow
ing ,eply:
Dear Sir: l think we could accom-

music one of my daughters plays the
parlor organ and gittar; another one
plays the ACCORDION and banjo; play
the cornet and fiddle; by wife plays
the harmonica and my son the flute.
We all sing and if you are good at
tenner singing you would fit right in

ways in Order.

A well-known Virginia clergyman,
onetime president of William and
Mary college, was married three times
and on each occasion the ceremony
was performed by his brother, an even
more renowned bishop. When the first
marriage took place, the bishop had
to refuse a tempting invitation from
an old friend because-so the letter
rant am going up to Williamsburg
on that date to marry my brother
George"
The same friend happened to be
on the train with him, years after
ward, when he was travelling to the
second ceremony. 81 am going to mar
ry my brother George" the bishop
explained, benignly, after the business
of greeting was over. Again many
years passed, and the same journey
was taken once more for the same
purpose. By a strange coincidence,
the identical friend ran into the bish-
op as they hurried through the depot
to their respective trains. Where go
ing bishop" the former sang out as
they grasped hands and dashed by
each other.

Gossip.

The life of the average pitcher Is
short, according to Byron Clarke. A
lot of the best ones to-day have been
in the game from away back. 1t is
easy to think of dozen who were
pitching in 1900. Patterson, McGin-
nifty, Willis, Dineen, Howell, Young,
Frazer, Lever, Chesbro, Waddell,
1annehill and Killian were all pitching
in that year and some of them pre-
viously. Patterson went to the White
Sox in 1900, where he has pitched
ever since. McGinnity was pitching
in Brooklyn that year. He started
pitching practically in Peoria and
went from there to Baltimore and
from Baltimore to Brooklyn. One of
the most remarkable games he ever
pitched was in Peoria. 1t was be-
tween Peoria and st. Joe, and the
score was 4 to at the end of the
twentieth inning. The st. Joe team
went to pieces at the twenty-first in
ming and Peoria scored four runs.
McGinnity not only never beat his own
record, but no other great pitcher ever
equaled 1t, Reulbach coming the near
est with twenty-inning game in
Philadelphia. McGinnity was always
noted for never sulking and for being
ready any time to pitch two games
in one afternoon. He has probably
pitched more double-headers than any
body else. Willis was pitching for
Boston seven years ago and Dineen
also. The next year Dineen jumped
to the American team in Boston.
Howell was with the st. Louis Browns
in 1900, where he has been ever since,
and Cy Young was there, too. Soon
after that he was traded to Boston,
and he next was heard from when he
pitched a game against Philadelphia
in which they never made a hit nor a
run-not a MAJ reached first base in
the nine innings.
