THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1889. A MARTYR PRIEST. Sketch of the Heroic Self-Sacrifice of Father Damien, the Leper. Father Damien, the leper priest, whose death at Kalawa, Hawaii, was mentioned in Tuc StaR yesterday, was born in Belgium, in 1840, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1860. He was sent as ® missionary to the Sandwich Islands, and about sixteen years ago the Cath- olic bishop of the islands wanted a priest for duty at the leper settlement at Molokai, and Father Damien promptly volunteered for the work. His work there was of the most heroic character, for he knew well what the end would be. He was the physician and teacher of that unfortunate colony, the children born of lepers depending on him for all the education they could expect to receive, King Kalakaua soon learned to admire the martyr priest, and a few years ago bestowed on him the privileges of the medical inspector and the decoration of Kuight Commander of the Order of Kalakaua L ie did not avail himself of the former, and the por tipegeher blenny in the social of the r colony. Years ago SS emma the dread disease and, for a long time before his death, he was a inful sufferer from the scourge. ‘He had as is assistant an Irishman by the name of Walsh. who is the superintendent of the colony, an Father Conrardy. who voluntarily went from Oregon to engage in the work. Walsh is al- ready a leper, and is awaiting death asa relief to his sufferings, but Father Conrardy has not yet contracted the disease. The Baltimore Sun Gives the following picture of THE GOOD SHEPRERD: “an English organization known as the Church Army has taken great interest in Father Damien's work, and last year Mr. Edward Clif- ford, its treasurer, went on a visit to the leper settlement at Molokai. Ina letter from there, dated December 30, he wrote as follows: ‘I have now been here nearly a fortnight. There are 1.030 lepers here, well cared for, not gener- ally suffering pain, and in most cases seeming light-hearted and happy. The air is het soft and pleasant, even when the wind is high and gusty. Enormous cliffs close in the leper set- tlement, and make it almost inaccessible from the other parts of the island. and the sea is so wild that often even a boat cannot land. When I arrived I had to come onshore ata precipitous rock at some distance from the village. Father Damien met me there, having with him about twenty lepers. He gave me a hearty, affec- tionate welcome, onl as it was too rough to have my large case landed, I had it unpacked in the boat and all the presents taken out one by one, handed across the waves, and carried by the lepers to Kalawa. The engravin of The Good Shepherd, from Lady Mount-Temple, came first, and then the magic lantern (which Ihave since been three times showing), the arison (a sort of little barrel-organ with many hymm tunes—the lepers love to turn it), and many pictures and books. Mr. Burne-Jones’ beautiful picture I had myself carried by hand all the way from London, and it is now hung in Father Damien's room, IN HIS MASTER'S FOOTSTEPS, “He is just what you would expect him to be—a simple, sturdy. hard-working, devout ma No job was too menial for him—build- ing, carpentering, tending the sick, washing the dead. and many other such thin form part of his daily work. He is always cheerful, often playful, and one of the most truly humble men I ever saw. The leprosy has dis- figured him a good deal, but I never feel it any- thing but a pleasure to look at him, and already the gurian oil whicliI brought is making a manifest difference in his face and hands and in his power of sleeping. How far the cure will reach it is, of course, impossible to say. He is such a busy man that i sometimes fear he will not find time to do the medi- cine full justice. The English affection and sympathy touch him very much indeed. Pray for him, for there must be many times when he is tempted to be discouraged and oversad at all the terrible cases—bodies and souls— around him. I was very glad to be here Christmas. You would "have enjoyed the hearty way in which the lepers sang ‘O come, all ye faithfal.’ Ihave been much in- terested in an old Christian leper from Amer- ica, who says he can thank God for His kind- ness and for many great mercies since he came here. He is more happy and contented than many people who have health, wealth, and friends, and it has come to him through his ili- ness. Father Damien has told me to-day that for the first time for months he has been able to sing again.” —se0- —___ ELECTRICITY’S FATAL BOLT. James Maroney’s Tragic Fate Beneath the Bed of the Hudson. A New York special to the Philadelphia In- quirer says: A stout able-bodied young fellow, with no trace of disease or marks of violence upon him, lay dead to-day in an ice-box in Ho- boken. On his right forearm is a burn the size of a half dollar, the only mark to indicate how he came by his death. The electric spark passed into his body at that spot, shot through his frame, burning up his vitality with the speed of a lightning bolt. Last night in the full flush of manly strength and health and ac- companied by an employe of the Hudson River Tunnel company he went down into the shaft for the first night of work. When they arrived at the air chambers they stopped and began loading earth into the cars. For one hour they worked steadily. Then there was a slight break in the line of cars and they waited. Maroney’s companion had his back turned to him. After a few moments he heard a quick, mafiied groan then the thud of a falling body, He turned hastily and saw Maroney lying in a heap on the right hand side of the tunnel! close to the electric wires used for illumination. He ran to and tried to raise him. To his horror he found the new hand dead. Wet with per- spiration he had seated himself on the air tube and leaned his right arm on the two electric wires. They were pathways of death and the electric finid burned out his soul free from his vigorous body in the twinkling of aneye. Help was summoned and the corpse was removed to an undertaker’s. The company will defray the funeral expenses. —<e0——-____ GF Tux Evexrxo Sraz circulates in the city where printed a larger number of copies in proportion to population than any paper in the world, and its circulation in Washington is greater than that of all the other daily papers in the city added together.

Spokane Beats Proctor Knott in the _ Great Kentucky Derby. The attendance at the great Kentucky derby yesterday is variously estimated at from fifteen to twenty-five thousand. The track at Louisville was in good condition, well sprinkled, hard and safe through two inches of dust, and a little fast. All Kentacky believed that Proctor Knott, who made such a splendid record last year, would be the winner, and in the pools he sold for $150 to $111 for the field. Better odds were obtainable both in the books and in private bets, and everything against Knott was eagerly snapped up. The contestants in the race were Sportsman, Spokane, Proctor Knott, Once Again, Bootmaker, Cassius, Out- bound and Hindoo Craft. The start was very even. Hindoo Craft was in front, Bookmaker second, Spokane third. On the way down to the stand Barnes Proctor Knott his head, and the bounded forward lik the stan five lengths in the Hindoo Craft second, Spokane third. Young’s pair were c be- hind. All the way round to the head of the stretch the positions were little changed, though the crowd was closing up on Kuott, who was evidently waiting for the finish, As they turned around the stretch the race com- menced. and seldom was such a run witnessed in America, Knott was let out, but Spokane came up with a tremendous rush. Half way down the stretch Knott swerved, and kane forged to the front by two lengths. res wheeled the favorite into line just as they reached the distance stand, and he came up like a bolt. It was too late, however, and Spo- kane d under the wire winner by a nose. Once Again third, three lengths off. The rest were strung out. ‘The time was 2:3414, which lowered the record of the derby two seconds. Spoakane is owned by Noah Armatrong, of Helena, Mon., where he was bred. He wintered at Memphis, The race was worth $4,850 to the winner, It was the general comment last night that the derby run yesterday was the greatest on record, both for the noble company afid the ex- citing run, No better-bred horses ever started. A big sum changed hands on the result. The quarters in the derby were run as follows: First quarter, 2434; half-mile, 483¢; three-quarters, 1:144¢; mile, 1+ nile an a-quarter, 2:09, THE GHOST INVESTIGATION. Trouble of the Psychical Society to Get the Genuine Article. From the Boston Gazette. I regret to learn that the Psychical society has wasted its labor in the vain effort to discover 4 real and unimpeachable ghost; and yet I am not surprised. Science has ever been the ene- my of spiritualism, and that a ghost should be expected to gratify it is to give greater virtu to the spirit than to the matter that it once ani- mated. Practical experience demonstrates that ghosts are only seen by the credulous and the superstitious, never by the healthy and the | wise. Personally, I side with the reticent ghosts and approve their humor in avoiding science and the world generally, They have | escaped from matter—at least, I hope they have—and they would be as stupid as those who imagine they see them to undergo again the penalties attached to matter. The curious part of the business is that people with the ordinary share of common sense should expect to see a ghost. We know of spirit only through its manifestations in matter. To see pur irit with material cyes is one of the inconce: i ties that only ignorance can indulge ii I would like to know where the ghost the matter by means of which he mal Now, ey: up es him- self visible; where he finds the ghost of the clothing in which he invariably appears; for an expination would go far to prove that ‘special creations are less rare than science demonstrates them to be. To my ignorance, there is more of the marvelous in the matter aspect of the ghost than there is in the ghost itself, and more of the miraculous in believing in ghosts than in seeing them. I donbt if any amount of or- dinary human evidence would be sufficient to rove the state or condition of ghosthood—at least tome, I know that the scientist, Alfred Wallace, is a spiritualist, but this only shows that when a scientist leaves his proper sphere to meddle with what he does not understand, he is on no higher level than the average every-day fool. I have no prejudice against ghosts or anything else. On sufficient proof I am willing to believe that two and two are five; that the moon is made of green cheese, and so on through the long list of apparent im- possibilities; but I must have the proof. Speak- ing for myself alone,I am persuaded that ghosts were born of ignorance, and that they survive through the same. Where people do not know they i1 ine; where they have never learned the art of being perauaded through their reason, they are convinced through their wishes or their fears. The more degraded the social condition of man, the greater is the number of ghosts with which he is burdened. Our marrow-sucking,prehistoric ancestors were trikes of ghost-believers ready made. Nowa- days it isthe hysterical woman and the man of unhealthy mind who see phantoms, and the visions are real to them when the nervous stem of the seers is most abnormal. The need for psychical societies has not yet arisen. While we are ignorant of what matter is, the investigation of what spirit may be is some- what premature. Of course there are any num- ber of restless people who amuse themselves by trying to jump over their own shadows; but they are either young and inexperienced or ambitious. There may be ghosts, and faith- curers may be right in their denial of the exis- tence of matter; but there are certainly fools and humbugs, and so one side of the equation exactly balances the other, and everybody is happy and nothing is proved. Meanwhile the Psychical society has been long in session seek- ing seriously for irrefutable evidence of a well- authenticated ghost, and it has failed to find it, It has decided that meny people have claimed to see ghosts and that spiritualism isa fraud— but that is all. t00- The Scotch-Irish Society Organized. At the second day of the Scotch-Irish congress, in Columbia, Tenn., yesterday, Proctor Knott, chairman of the committee on constitution and by-laws, submitted @ plan for the permanent organization of the Scotch-Irish of America, The purposes of the society are the preservation of Scotch-Irish history, the keeping alive the esprit de corps of the ‘race and promotion of social intercourse and fra- ternal feeling among its members now and hereafter. Any male above the age of twenty- one years with Scotch-Irish bl in his veins shall be eligible for membership in the asso- ciation. The report was adopted. ‘Col. E. C. McDowell, of the committee on officers, re- ported the following, who were elected: President, Robert Bonner, of New York; sec- retary, A. C. Floyd, of Tennessee; vice-presi- dents-at-large, J. T.

At Kaska, William colliery, near Middleport, Pa., last evening, @ cage containing ten miners was ascending the shaft when au empty car was pushed over the top of the shaft by two Hungarian laborers. The car struck the cage with terrible force, shattering it to pieces and instantly killing every one of its occupants, whose mangled bodies were afterward found in shaft the water at the bottom of the shaft.
