PIONEER coRREcTs HISTORY.
Says That Van Loon and Not Hud
son Discovered River.

NEW YORK. June 22.-According to
Walton w. Van Loon. Catskill. N. Y.
one of the oldest residents Of that sec
ton, Hendrick Hudson did not discover
the Hudson river. but Pietre Van Loon
the great archaeological grandfather
of Mr.. Van Loon did. In a pamphlet
which Mr. Van Loon has published the
statement is made that Pietre Van Loon
hunted and fished on the Hudson river
eleven years before its discovery by Hud-
son.
Mr.. Van Loon also lays stress upon the
statement Of Robert Juet. mate Of the
Half Moon, that while the ship was an
chored near the site of Catskill. they
found "a very loving people and old men,
who brought to ship Indian corn. pump
kins and tobacco
The citation is made in the belief that
the loving people referred o were white
men.
Concerning the ancestor Pietre Van
Loon. the pamphlet states that he with
his family sailed from Walloon in 1881.
and. sailing up the st. Lawrence. landed
IN what is now the state of New York.

Six Sufferers Restored ia
Health in Louisiana Home.
ONE PATIENT DISCHARGED
Work Of Healing Effected by Few
Sisters Of Charity.
APPEAL IS MADE FOR FUNDS
Money Asked to Prevent Escapes
and for Authority to Take Care
of Lepers Now at Large.

NEW ORLEANS. June pa remark
able medical report touching the cure of
leprosy will be presented to the louisiana
assembly. probably this week. by the
Leper Home of the state of Louisiana.
In this report appear the ords: Dis
charged. cured-one. Practically we'll and
kept for observation-fve.
Briefly explained. the meaning of these
figures is that out Of sixty-one lepers at
the Louisiana institution in the past two
years six have been practically cured.
The figures are from the biennial report
Of the leper home where for over thirteen
years this state has provided home for
Iepers to receive the comforts and skilled
medical care which are not. as rule.
within reach of such sufferers.
Specific Cure Not Claimed.
A fact Of significance is that this re-
port is not submitted to the assembly as
indicating that any specific cure for
leprosy has been obtained other than
from giving lepers the same sanitary sur
roundings that the average person en-
Joys and an equal opportunity to receive
first-class medical treatment.
Instead OF being isolated the institu-
ton faces the public highway along the
MISSISSIPPI river leVee IN lDcTNhic pals
1t occupies the Indian plantation. an es-
tate of about 400 acres. A row OF modern
cottages constitute the lepers' quarters.
A surgical building and a small Catholic
church complete this group OF ieper
buildings.
For thirteen years four to six sisters OF
charity, practically alone, have cared Tor
all the wants Of the lepers. None OF these
sisters ever has become infected with the
disease. and apparently none OF them
fear II.
No Isolation Nor Restrictions.
From children to old people. the ages
of the patients range from seven to eighty.
The degree of freedom enjoyed by these
lepers Is startling.
There are no stockades no high fences.
no armed guards. nor even night watch
men to prevent them from escaping at
will The one strong bond which holds
them to the institution is the self-sacri-
ficing care and interest of the sisters OF
charity in. making them comfortable and
contented.
Eleven lepers have run away in the last
two years. and although number of
these runaways have voluntarily re-
turned, nevertheless one Of the most i'm
portant requests of the home to the as
sembly is money and means to prevent
the recurrence Of such escape.
The most vital recommendation is for
money and authority to place in the
home certain lepers at large in the state.
