NO NATIONAL LEPER COLONY
Government Has No Means for Caring
for the Uhfortunates

Washington, Aug. 29.-Inquiry as to
the facilities of the war department
for taking care OF the leper, John R.
Early formerly a United States sol
der and now isolated in this city, has
developed the fact that leper is be-
ing cared for in the Volunteer Sold
iers' home at Milwaukee in the per
son of Alfred S. OGorman, formerly u
private in Company G. First Infantry,
of the regular army, and also men,
Der OF volunteer regiment during
the Spanish war.
Private O'Gorman was an inmate OF
the Volunteer Soldiers hcme at Mil
waukee when IL was discovered that
he was afflicted with the disease He
was promptly isolated and measures
were at once taken to have the war
department remove him from that
home. The war department replied
to the authorities at Milwaukee that
they could place the leper in the col
ony in the Philippines, in California,
in Louisiana. or in Porto Rico, and did
not object to accepting him in the
soldiers home of the regular army in
the District of Columbia, But when
an effort was made to secure trans
portation for the soldier il was found
| that no railroad would accept him.
| That was two years ago and he has
since been cared for In the Volunteer
home at Milwaukee
The army also has control of an
other leper who is located at Fort
Scriyen on the island of Tybee, OFF
the port of Savannah. Ga. In this
case leprosy was developed two or
three years ago on the part of a sold
Ter stationed at Fort Scriven who was
at once isolated and has ever since
been cared for on the island. No UNI
favorable result has come from hav-
ing him there and none is feared At
the time this case of leprosy was de-
Iveloped there was considerable discus
sion Of 1t, but il has practically drop
ped out of sight and for a long time
there has been no public reference to
lit.
Inquiry being made in respect to the
disposition of Early the officers of the
district were informed that the war de
Ipartment has no means for caring for
llepers, and there never has been a
disposition on the part of the depart
ment to establish a leper colony. In
view of the experience of the war de-
partment in caring for Private O'Gor-
man, the belief is general among the
high officials that Early will have to
remain in the District of Columbia be.

THOMAS MO[OiNIE:'YI
NOT LEGALLY A
CANDIDATE
Doubt that He Could Be Seated
if Elected.
SAY CAUCUS WAS IRREGULAR
Opinion In Rutland That Name Of
Democratic Nominee Has No Legal
Right to Place on Ticket

Rutland, Aug. 29.-"Who is chair
man of the democratic city commit
tee?" asks the Rutland Herald
this morning.
II the opinion of large number Of
democrats counts for anything VIII
liam II. Walsh is not, neither is j.
Walter Lyons secretary and yet these
men are boldly acting in that capaci-
ty The effect of this remarkable
state of affairs, coming, as it does,
at this particularly critical stage OF
the local campaign, is to create a
serious doubt as to whether the name
OF Thomas w. Moloney is entitled to
place on the official ballot and whet-
her he could take his seat II elected.
The same people that claim that
Walsh and Lyons have no claim to
their titles as officers of the demo
cratic city committee bring forward
several excellent reasons why
IT. e. Howley of East street is the
present chairman of the committee
and George Costello is the secretary.
These men, it is claimed, were elect
ed at the caucus June Goth, when the
delegates were elected to the state
convention, the time when some of
the democrats left the hall hurriedly
with the ballot boxes and check lists
and forgot 10 elect the city commit
tee.
After the others had left the hall
Daniel E. Bruten nominated man
from each ward to serve as a city
committee. They were voted upon
and declared electd by Mr.. Walsh,
who was the former chairman OF the
city committee and who was presiding
at this caucus.
When seen recently Mr. Howley
said: Yes. was elected chairman
OF the city committee, but the other
fellows have gone ahead with no one
to stop them and done as they pleas
ed"
When asked why the committee die
not put some candidate in the fell
and not let the others run things h'
said they did not feel like seeing on
of their men get walloped.
ID. A. Bruten said the other day
yes. Sir; that is the committee elect
ed at the last regular time for elect
ing them and Chairman Walsh, who
was in office at that time, declared
them elected"

Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained Ia Pe-rn-Ha.
Arewe claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim 1t to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrhY Havewe
abundant proofthat Peruna Is in real
ity such a catarrh remedyY Let US see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients Of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispsnsatory says
ofthis herbalremedy, that 1t Ia largely
employed in the treatment ofdepraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia (ca-
tarrh of the stomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (ca-
tarrh of the liver, and In diseased
mucous membranes Of the pelvic
organs. It ia also recommended for
the treatment of various forms Of dis
eases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient Of Peruna, cory.
dalis formosa, is classed In the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. So also
Is cubebs classed as a stomachic and as
q tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient Of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by tho
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says Of the action
of cedron that it is used as bitter
tonic and in the treatment Of dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as q
substitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as mild stimu-
LIANT and diuretic. Itacts on the stom-
ach and intestinal tract 1t acts az o
stimulant on the genito-urinary mem-
branes. Useful in chronic cystitis,
chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and
some chronic diseases Of the liver and
kidneys.
Send to us for a free book of testi-
monials Of what the people think q
Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony Of those who
have tried it

Case Patten, the heart side pit
cher, who will be on the slab for Ben

Additional interest was created in
today's game by the announcement
that HoOsick Falls had secured Pitch
er Lake of the New York American
league team. Lake pitched yester-
day for New York in the first of two
games against Chicago and won out
by a score of to /, allowing but
four hits. 1t will surely be the great

Bennington diamond.
At tomorrows game in Hoosick
Falls the Pittsfield professional team
with Jack Ferry in the box will repre-,
sent Bennington. Ferry hasn't
pitched since Thursday and should be

game ought to be one of the tastes
of the fast ones.
