The Awll Scones at Molokai, A “Daily News" Representative Visits the Home of the Lepers and Vivid- Iy Doscribes the Sad Sights Which He There Witnessed, Special to the Chicago Daily News. Hoxoruw, Nov. 1.—You have heard, perhaps, that the Sandwich islanders are dying away because of the ravages of lop- rosy. 1 Yave recently spent ten days at the leper scttlement, where the victims in exile await their inevitable doom. And, while 1 am not prepared to indorse common rumor to the extent indicated in the opening sentence, L am prepared to tell much which I believe will be of inter- est about the *‘mysterious blight.” One day last month 1 called upon the premier of the Hawaiian kingdom (his excellency, William Gibson) and said 1 should like permission to go to Molokai and have a week with the lepers. His excellency had. no objection; no—none in the least, Very glné indeed to give mo the necessary authority to land upon and reembark from the island, but, un- fortunately, there was no method of com- munication except by the government steamer which took supplies once a ‘month, and she was laid up just now. It was too bad; but the pass was of no value without the steamer. I said I had ar- ranged to go in a whaleboat with a Kana- ka crow, so the pass was all that I re- quired, and he said he would ask the king. Now the king, not less than his chief officer, disapproves of visitors tak- too great an interest in the lepers, and several days were " | passed in waiting for the permission to issue. The interval I spent in studying ' | the leper statistically, and from the gov- ernment point of view, and these are the facts gathered. The Hawaiian kingdom has a leper popula ion of about two theusand; of these less than one half are in custody. There is no physician on the island who knows enough about leprosy to convince any other‘lhhynicinu that the truth has been reached. There are no white lepers under restraint, and proba- bly not more than fifty or sixty whites afflicted with the disease. The chief item of the budget represents the sums used for the segregation and support of tho confirmed ‘feporfl. There is no cure re- corded in the rather meagro history of the disease unless we except that miracu- lous purification when Miriam was made whole. But as the king's jolly and scofing chamberlain, Col. Judd, re- marked, that did not happen in the Sand- wich islands. Pardon me—the Hawaiian kingdom; for since the time of Hanky panky, panky Jim, The king of the cannibal islands, is bad form to talk of the Sandwich islends, and an offense not to be forgiven to address an Hawaiian as a Sandwich islander, In the doctors’ books you find leprosy classed among the neuroses or skin dis- cases, and for its treatment in its later stages applications of niorcurial ointment or proto-iodide and liberal doses of iodide of ‘potassium are recommended. As a layman lot me criticise the classification, for if ever there was a diseaso that goes beneath the skin, reaching out to every N | vital organ, leprosy is that afiliction. The flesh sloughs off, tubercules form and llI‘OP away, sometimes being blown from AKEN BEFORE DIS) LL PEL A FEELIN HEAVINESS, | GENTLY BUT SURELY THWBOAUST, AN IOREN " INTO ji Y ACTION EVERY FIBRE OBATE SYS.

But the decay is of every organ, the heart and lungs succumbing last, sometimes the brain %mving almost disappeared. Leprosy, indeed, is tho one dizease which attacks every portion of the soonest. The longest period that a leper has lived, whose case is known, is nine yoars, 1 'was prosent at the death scene of a lad who had been in the settlement less than two years, At the detention hospital there are ac- commodations for about one hundred and twenty. It is filled about every two months. The establishment consists of a large plat of ground, say five acres, around which is a very high picket fence wibh a deep ditch outside of it. Within are the cottages or wards, the females having one part, the men the other, with a building for the superintendent’s home and dispensary and a cook house or mess room. There is little shade except that made by the houses, no sward nor run- ning water, The construction of the houses is primative, their furnishing plain to the verge of discomfort, but they are clean. To the north rises the grotesque form of the Punch Bowl, the crater of an extinct voleano, and beneath it are the green slopes and lower lands of the beau- tiful city. Sweeping around to the cast is Wikiki, h its graceful forests of cocon nd in the front the green nen splashos and roars over the coral reefs that form the harbor bar. In this placee leper must give up all hope. Before his admission here he had at least the expec- tation of dying among friends— friends so loyal that they hid their afflicted relatives in the mountains, and_bring them poi in jars and water in calabashds, and try to make them comfortable. But now in- stead of this loving kindness, thero comes the harsh discipline of a govern- ment institution. No wandering in the cool Algerob forest nor bathing in the loved surf, but simply a period of suffor- ing and waiting for death under circum- stances prescribed by a necessary, ifcruel, law, and from whose horrible provisions there is no escape. The hospital now be- ing full, a steamer comes to fetch to Mo- lokai those whose condition is most ad- vanced, there to remain until deathdraws its charitable veil over eyes that hunger for a land they can never see, and closes cars that listen in vamn for voices that can never speak to them. It was with such a party that I traveled finally to Molokai, his excellency having atlast ex- hausted his reasons for not going. 1t has been my lot to witness many scenes in which the human heart seems to have run the gamut of agony. 1 have heard the wail outside of an Irish prison when the black flag floating on the staff told that the sentence of the law had been given effect; 1 have scen the Jews in the east driven in winter and at night from their villages, and recently 1 hurried on to Sunderland in time to see an hun- dred crushed bodies of children carried of & great hall, Every family of that city had its dead little one, but none of theso nor other scenes that I have wit- nessed approached in any way those which attended upon the separation of families as these handful of lepers sailed away to their exile. Daughters reached out their arms to mothers whom they might not embrace, wives held up their mouths for kisses which their husbands could not give, babes held in arms of strangers laughed and cooed to their mothers, to whose breaking hearts they might not be heldin one last loving clasp. And sobs, such sobs, alas, that come from depths of hearts wrung with the misery of a hopoless condition, Presontly tho lines wore cast off, the littie. steamer turned her head away and steamed slowly toward the bar. 1 went into the little cabin set apart for the captain and closed the door, de- termined to hear no more and see no more of such grief, The little port was open, when suddenly it was darkened, and looking up I saw the dark but beau- tiful face of a woman whose young hus- band was on his way to Molokai. She had swam out to _intercept the steamer, and being, ds indeed are her race, as much at home in the water as on land she had no difficulty in accomplishing her purpose. ““Ah!” she said, ‘“‘you are not a doctor nor a constable, tell my husband to look over the side tomeand God will bless you.” i I went on deck. We were steaming slowly, waiting for the government in- spector to complete his task before taking human body, and not until it has fasten- od its fatal grasp upon every organ does it close its labors of death and give its victims surcease of pain. Sometimes the leper is the sport of anesthesia for a pe- riod, but sooner or later comes the pain which knows no parallel, and at night at the loper sottle.ent 1 have sat for hours listening to the cries of anguish from a hundred lips which no medicine could still. And these cries are always heard A leper may for a day or more have an in- terval to pain, but among the 1,000 on Molokai there are always the cry of a hundred or more to be heard. 1t is an old theory that leprosy is a atage of syphillis, from which white races are practically exempt. Iam able to cite some of the authorities on this subject. Jonathan Hutchingon, of London,believ- ed in a hereditary immunity from syphil- lis, acting something in the same way that vaccine protects from small pox, and reasoned by analogy that a virgin race such as the Hawaiians, being exposed to the more common form, soon developed among themselves the loathsome condi- tion of loprosy. A recent publication in The Lancetrepresents thatsyphillis has be- como a much milder disease in Europe in the last two centuries. Medieal science cannot kill, but it can delay the action of both diseases by precisely the same treatment, Leprosy was a well known ++ Bavaria, | discaso in England up to the year 1600, There were twelve leper hespitals in En- his own boat for the shore. The lepers had become quiet, or at least compara- tively so, oxcept for pain. A fow women were rocking on their haunches and moaning. A young half-white girl, whose sad story I will tell later on, had flung herself on the deck in a wild abandon ment of grief, and behind the smokestack I found the husband kneeling in prayer. His face, seriated by the leprous sores, was held up to the sun; the tears were streaming down his checks and disease- gut features, softening them by the agony of supplicatio iam,” said I, *‘your wife is along- side; go quietly to the place I shall point out to you, and you will see her.” The man sprang up, and for & moment he looked perfectly beautiful, such a joy as came in his face. Then he turned and ran to tho place indicated. Half an hour afterward 1 saw him alone. We were then under a full head of steam, passing Dia- mond Head, *“Where is she?” I asked. He pointed astern, and there, not an eighth of a mile away, we saw her swim- ming toward some fishing boats, her black, soft hair floating out behind her, her arm every now and again waving to us good-by. ‘The leper settlement is generally called Molokai, but that, in fact, is the name of the island upon which it is placed.

Boston, December 6.—1t is claimed in Boston that the only antique glass produced has its origin in that renown- ed city. Elsewhere it is not disputed,and the Antique (ilass Company, of South Boston, has _succoeded in gaining me- chanically, through studied efforts, re- sults quite similar to those obtained ac- cidentally in ancient times. It is never- theless generally understood that some of the English stained glass manufactures have been for some time making corres- ponding experiments, In the new process small portions of the material, taken before its elements are fairly blended by boiling together, aro whirled separately by the use ofa stick into rondels of varying arrange- ments of color. The product has the appearance of being cooled while in a stato of fermentation, and when full of bubble and stride it is the better liked by some of the decorators. One of its varieties, which is fancifully spoken of as the froth of ebullient glass solidified, is an airy formation, a specimen of which in white swept with streaks of purple in changing tints is delicate and beautiful, as may be im- agined of the precious murrhine wares of antiqne celebrity, The material in 1ts sim.‘.\y fused, uncommingled state is usually whirled into the shape of a cir- cular plate, or oscationally that of an elongated pear. In combination which rolled cathedral, opal and other varieties of glass in use these forms of spun glass are intsoducdtl_ effgctively in present ex- amplgs of orkers. 1t jscon- .idefivlyu Nonald, wia, like Mr. LaKarge, seeks effects as far as pos- sible without the aid of the brush, and of whose admired window in the Chan- ning Memorial church at Newport, the Parable of the Sower, the statement is made that it contains not half an ounce of stain. Mr. McPherson has adopted the new production successfully in recent work of some magnitude, two of which arewindows for achurch at(ireat Barring- ton, gresented by Mrs. Hopkins, of San Francisco. One illustrates the calling of the disciples and the other the landing of the pilgrims. The latter has been for some time exhibited in the Beston museum of fine arts. These windows are chiefly of English antique and rolled cathedral, with a small quantity of opale- scent glass and an enlivening arrange- ment of sun glass, small quantiiy, in connection with the border jewels, The figure panels of each are of double glass in the style of work callea painting; the depth of color, the | effoct of light, and the perspective im- pression derive some apparent advantage from the admission of the whirled glass with its lively quality. eld renowned imparts delicious = — Angostura Bitters, the w appetizer and invigorat flavor to all drinks and cures dyspepsia, diarrhwea, fever and ague, Try it, but Luwum ot loonnterfelt Ak your grocer or your druggist for the genuine Angostura, manufac- tured by Dr. J, B.

It is our duty to do everything in our power to make home happy,but our duty does not end here. There arc homeless, friendless creatures in the world to whom this time of merry-making is the saddest of the year, and may we not all do something t) bring a gleam of sun- shine into some such life, ~to make them forget for a season the desolation that surrounds them, and live over the happy days that have come to them in the past, but are gone perhaps forever. There zod mothers and fathers whose chil- dren have gone from them and left their hearts and home desolute, and to them Christmas, with the train of recollections that it brings, is a day to be dreaded rather than looked forward to with pleasure, But some trifle sent as a present, testi- fies to the loving remembrance in which they are held by some friend, and the old hearts thrill with joy and all the world seems brighter, Again there are numberless children in bound with the pleasure of anticipatio who expect no presents for themselves, and who know that they will not be able to make any to others, Aud here is a broad field for our labor of love; for we can hardly realize what a mere triflo is needed to make these little creatures happy. We are too prone to judge them by our ewn fastidious young' people, whom indul- funw has made it difficult to please. fut the fact is that every one of us has it in her power to make at least one if not many of these happy, without the outlay of a ceat. We have things in our possession thet are valuelees to us, but that wo keepwith a vague feeling that some one may want it sometime, But although only 'in | these joyous times, when so many hearts | are. the sometime has never come and we have them yet, and what for, but to give them to somebody. And it makes little difference which body receives them, so it is one of the niany unprovided for. Then there is another class that we may make happy if we will, with little more_effort than a thought. They are tho invalid poor, to whom the dainty meal that you may choose from your table and not miss, would be a rare treat, Or the poor family who have not the com- forts of life, how gladly wouldgthey re- ccive the remnant of the Christmas turkey. To be sure, this would preclude the possibility of the turkoy hash and the turkey soup that follow as natural consequences of turkey roast, in all economical families, but this would not be considered much of a hardship, especially by the male members of the family, and how the ill- fed little folks in the poorer home will relish the good things only those who have offered them can appreciate. Then, i one of these or in some other way, lot us cach resolve to makea Merry Christmas for some unfortunate for whom no one else will provide. e — Compare the dose and quantity of Hood's Sarsaparilla and you have conclusive proof of its superior strength and cheapness.

The Buffa'lo Express is the ablest re- publican journal in Western New York, 1t is in favor of tariff reform, and closes an article on the result of the speaket's election as follows: “The mneed of tariff discussion as a means of educating public opinion is very great, and if Mr. Carlisle’s election as speaker results in bringing on such a dis- cussion it will be a most salutary event. If Mr. Carlisle is the sincere man that we suppose him to be, his formation of the committees will be straightforwardly di- rected to the purpose of tariff revision. He can hardly do lesssfor his foremost supporter, Col. Morrison of Illinois, than to put him at the head of tho ways and means committee, and with enough s sociates of his own way of thinking to enable him to control the committee’s action. There is no more earnest tariff reformer than Col. Morrison, and few more capable. If the house should fol- low his lead, bills for tanff reduction would speedily be passed. Whether the house did or did not follow his lead, it could not prevent him, were he at the head of the ways and means committee, from bringing on tariff discussion. And that, after all, is the chief thing needed, and about all that can be accomplished so long as the senate is constituted as at present.” Lost Faith in Physicians, Why i it that s0 many persons use proprie- tary medicines, or patent medicines, s thoy are commonly ‘called? Is it becauso peoplo loge faith in their physicians? Well, this is 1o doubt, frequently the case. There are in numerablo instances, where cures have been effected by SCOVILL'S SARSAPARILLA or BLoon & Liver Syree for all diseases of the blood, when they had been given over by their phy- sicians, It is one of the best remedies cver offered to the public,and as it is preparod with tho greatest care, as a_specific for certain dis- eases, it is no wonder that it should be more effectual than hastily written and carelessly prepared prescriptions made by incompetent physicians, Take SCOVILL'S BLoOD AND LIVER Syhee for all disorders arising from impure blood. It is endorsed by leading professional men as well as Ly eminent physicians and others. Try it. ——— An Emergency.

I'm poor and the widow knows it, but she marries me for love.” He protested so long and earnestly that he was finally passed down the road. Two days elapsed, and then a letter was received from him, say- ing: “‘Heaven bless you for your kindness! Reached here all right, and married the widow according to programme. It turns out that she isn’t worth a copper.
