THE BROWN HOME AT 7a7 SEVENTH STREET.

n OMEWHERE in New York there are mother and
father said to be living in easy luxury, following
the chmera of gay life while their little daughter
abandoned in babyhood, is the bone of contention
between the Board Of Chidrens Guardians of Washington
and old coored nanny who has cared for her
infancy.

The story that the incident develops one of pahos

revoked as their authority did not ex-
tend beyond its limits
In the meantime the attention Of the
Gerry Society had been called TO the
abandoned babe, but the old nurse
had learned to love ii and had begged
that she be allowed to keep it perma-
nently. The society regarded her as
competent and the child was left with
her, though never legally adopted.
The baby thrived. It grew strong
and active with a beauty like that OF
rs mother, who was apparently
woman Of good blood and education.
There is about me child an aristocratic
cast which always asserts itself. The
name of Edith and the final name Of
the nurse, Brown, were given her and
so she has always been known.

Subterfuges and Erasions.

After moving TO Washington the old
nurse placed the child in the public
schools. There was a question as 10
whether she should so 10 the white or
colored schools. but the former were
decided upon. I'D lest ner home be
found out and the privileges denied
her, the faithful nurse resorted to all
sorts of su5terfuges and evasions.
She had mapped out a career for her
foster-chiId and was determined that
she should have the opportunities Of
her own race.

Finally the child fell sick and the
truant officer came to her home TO
find the cause OF her absence from
school. He discovered the fact that
she was living with the coiored fam
lily. The promise OF the child was
such that Il was made doubIy objec-
tionable that she should be brought I'D
by members Of a race socially set or
from her own.
The Board of Children's Guardians
investigated the case and found that
the child had never been legally adopt-

quence, secured from the Juvenile

Treatment FOR.
BRICHT'S DISEASE

1t is curious but satisfactory fact
that chronic Bright's Disease, which,
according TO medical authorities. is an
incurable and fatal disease, is now ac-
tually being cured. We have not at
tached importance to the statements
of recoveries we have seen in the pa
pers from the states, but that they are
not all rumors is now evident from sew
eral recoveries here.
A. II. Otis of the Honolulu Drug Co..
tells us of two interesting cases. One
was swollen with dropsy due to adj
vanced Bright's Disease, and both the
patient and his physician had given
up hope. Otis kept urging trial OF
the new treatment until the patient
finally consented. Recovery was COM
plete. the patient leaving a few months
later for California, where he now re-
sides.
Another case was that of an officer
on one of the Island steamers. He was
in hospital and considered hopeless
when put on this treatment. He has
now been back at his post for some
time.
Otis says there are very few failures
but that 1t requires patience-Honolu'
