Suit of E. G. Page.

Especial Frankfort Correspondence
Frankfort.-Prison guards were
raised to the dignity of officers and
relieved from the docking" system,
when they are unavoidably absent
from their duty, by the opinion of
Judge Settle, of the court of appeals,
who dissolved the Injunction granted
Guard e. G. Page, of the reformatory,
restraining the STATE board of prison
commissioners from compelling him to
work seven days the week. The suit
was filed to test the law. The guards
insisted that the $75, the month wage
they received, is for six working days
in the week. The commissioners were
not unwilling to accede to the demand
that the guards be allowed one day
off duty, but we're not sure the law
would permit them. Hence the suit
was brought before Judge Stout in the
Franklin circuit court. AS no appeal
could have been taken from his de-
cision, had he refused the injunction,
he granted it in order to get the ques-
ton before the higher court While
the guards lost on their six days a
week proposition, they won to the ex'
tent that Judge Settle said they are
officers of the state, drawing a stipu.
lated salary each month, and that no
per diem deduction can be made in
their salaries if through sickness or
some other unavoidable cause they are
absent from duty.

Protest Is Filed.
The state commissioner of agricul
ture is in receipt of letter from the
convention of the veterinary associa-
ton, which recently held a meeting at
Hopkinsville The letter reads as fol-
lows: "Hon. J. w. Newman, Commis-
sioner of Agriculture: Dear Sir-We,
members of the Ohio Valley Veterinary
Medical association in convention as
sembled, desire to offer a protest
against your present method of distri-
button of anti-hog-cholera serum man
ufactured by the state OF Kentucky.
Believing that this matter is of suffi
cient moment to the farmers of the
state of Kentucky, for whose benefit
this serum is manufactured, we desire
to suggest that the legitimate method
of distribution would be, and should
be, through the recognized veterina-
rians of the state of Kentucky We
further desire from you an expression
as to whether or not you will consider
the distribution of the serum in the
future through these channels; if not,
we, in self-defense, shall consider it
our duty to use a serum which we
know to be manufactured under gov
ernment supervision, and which we
have proven by experience not only
to be potent, but also to be so manu-
factured and so distributed as not to
cause a spread Of the disease, which
we are trying to eradicate. We are
further convinced that the present out.
break of hog cholera in Henderson
county is due, to a considerable ex.
tent, to the injudicious use of the se'
rum by non-graduates and incompetent
laymen. Trusting to near from you in
regard to this matter at your earliest
convenience, we are, yours truly-G. J.
Behrens, Secretary"

Specialists Still Doubtful Whether
One Person. Can Give It to Another.
There Is possibly no disease the
presence of which inspires greater
fear in the public mind than does
leprosy. This Is perhaps in a meas.
ure due to the loathesomeness of the
disease in its later stages, but IT is in
most cases simply fear Of a name.e
The disease or diseases spoken OF
as leprosy in the Bible are popularly
supposed to be the same as the
leprosy of to-day, and the evident fear
the leper inspired in the people OF
old is held to Justify the dread with
which he Is still regarded. The Bibli.
cal descriptions do not, however, f1t
modern leprosy, so that whether the
fear of the "leper' of olden times was
or was not justified it should not be
allowed to color the view with which
the leper of to-day is regarded.
Leprosy is indeed an infectious dis.
ease, that is to say, it is due to the
presence in the tissues of bacillus,
after the Norwegian physician who
uISSONoICO H. DuI WhSluST 1t lS COu-
tagious under the ordinary conditions
of modern life in temperate climates,
at least, is held by specialists In dis.
eases of the skin to be very doubtful.
OF the few lepers known to the ply.
sicians In all the larger cities some
are cared for in hospitals, others live
at home and visit the clinics or the
doctors office from time to time; yet
an instance in which another person
has acquired the disease from any of
these lepers Is unknown.
There are many diseases more to
be dreaded than leprosy because more
rapidly fatal, more painful or more
contagious; yet none of them except
perhaps smallpox is more feared.
The illogical terror of leprosy may
be the cause Of great cruelty to those
afflicted. There are thousands of peo-
pie who show culpable Indifference to
the enforcement of the laws against
splitting in public places, although
they know full well that the success
Of the crusade against tuberculosis
hinges largely upon care in this re-
gard. Yet these same persons would
fly in horror from any place that had
harbored a leper.

When Grey died, Ireland came into
possession Of his diploma from tho
medical cellege. He practiced at San

army as surgeon, going to South

Arbltrated.

Conversation among travellers is
frequently absurdly trivial. After sew
eral days together, as on shipboard,
every one is idle, and talks about the
most unimportant matters with the
deepest interest. R. H. Milligan, in a
book entitled "The Jungle Folk of
Africa" recounts with what compla-
cency the conclusion was reached
that the thirteen colonies should new.
er have rebelled, and that the blame
was all on the side of England.
One man. moreover, disclosed the
fact that he always wore safety-pins
instead of garters. and descanted upon
his preference with such enthusiasm
that he made at least one convert.
One night We put IN practice the
principle of arbitration, of which we
were all adherents. An argument
had arisen among us as to which was
the more simple of the two currency
systems, dollars and cents, or pounds,
shiNmgs and pence. At last, the cap.
tain arriving, We decided to refer the
matter to him, and to surrender our
Judgment to his arbitration.
The captain. an Bnglishman of tho
very stotd sort, after period of TO
