One of the chief obstacles to the
enforcement of law is maudlin senti-
ment and it is not confined to airy
single state. A man in Mississippi
murders another in cold blood, is SEN
fenced for life. escapes and lives an
honeht life for twenty years before he
is discovered. He has in no way eX-
plated his crime and there are hun
dreds of brutal murderers who would
gladly escape the rope on the same
terms, yet we find newspapers who
think it a shame that officers of the
law should attempt to bring man
back who had escaped Justice for
twenty years. c. w. Morse, a mil
lionaire, who violated the banking
laws and by his methods set an ex
ample, which would If followed by
other bankers, make it impossible to
maintain solid financial institutions, is
now a candidate for sympathy because
he has lost his fortune and we actu-
ally find some papers saying that he
has been punished enough. Such SEN
timent undermines the temples of
justice and neutralizes the influence
of the press of the United States
which can be very inconsistent with
out much reason.

Getting Rid of Leprosy

Another great horror has been re-
moved in the last few years by the dis
covery that leprcsy can be cured. The
fact was announced to the world from
Louisiana, where this disease was first
cured through careful Intelligent, and
continued treatment. Up to this time
1t had been regarded as the worst to
which mankind was subject, incurable
and awful Iii the suffering 1t caused
and the hideous consequences that fol-
lowed The good news of cures from
Louisiana was soon followed by SINH
lar favorable reports from Hawaii. On
Monday came the news from Homo
lulu that denomination of lepers
confined on the island of Molokai. of
the Hawaiian group, showed that one
half of them had been found free from
leprosy, and likely in consequence to
be turned loose. There are SIG lepers
on the island and 1t Is hoped to be
able to release at least 400. One of
the striking facts brought out is that
a large proportion of the persons con-
demned az 1epers were shown never
to have had the disease, and to have
been committed to the islands ON
wrong diaguosis-probably through a
lack Of knowledge of the disease, and
because of Inc panicky fear it formerly
caused
The Indications are that the number
OF 1epers believed to exist throughout
the world Eiu be cut down oue-haE or
more by a more careful examination
by expert lepfologists. and another
large portion will be cured at an early
day.-New Orleans Tim es-Democrat.

At the Majestic.

Nell GWynn-ta OF C1dIlcS IL,
King of England. Leading actress at
the Kings theater and idol of the pop
ulace, is a merry, dashing girl who has
been toasted in song and story. and Is
row made to live and breathe again
in a comedy drama which bears her
name, and which will be seen at the
Majestic theater next week with Miss
Genevieve Russell in the title role This
play is new to Topeka. though all the
other large cities have had it. That
it Is really meritorious is vouched by
the fact that Ada Rehan played 1t as
Sweet Nell of Old Drury. Henrietta
Crosman as Mistress Nell, and all OF
the big stock companies as Nell Gwynn.
The version to be presented here com
bines the salient points of all and is
decidedly clever. Like Madame Sans
Gene 1t is a rollicking good comedy,
beautifully costumed by the same cos
tuner who supplied Madame Sans
Gene; scenically it has many novelties,
among which are The Green Room or
the Kings theater. where the actors
rest between scenes or acts, showing
the dressing rooms. etc The company
will all be we'll cast. and combine good
acting with handsome wardrobe and
beautiful stage settings. Nell GWynn
is one of the best plays you VIII see
here, and it will be properly presented:
notable feature will be the musical
program offered by the Chicago Ladies
orchestra, Miss Watts. directress. the
opera Of Nell Gwynn will be rendered
before every performance. This music
is very beautiful and will prove treat.
