Neal Dow fixes 1892 as the year for the Prohibitionists to elect a President. There are six dentists in New York who, it is said, receive as high as $15,000 a year each for their labors.

If Daniel Pine of Paw Paw, 111., lives until December he will be 100 years old Meantime he amuses himself by hoeing and sawing wood.

Col. Ingersoll says: "I do not like liquor. It does not agree with me and I do not agree with it. It is too heating, and so I rarely touch it. I prefer beer."

William S. Davis, of Newark, has deserted his wife because of the discovery that she had adopted a newly born girl baby during his absence while pretend ing to him it was her own.

A man who has just served his term in the Nebraska State prison has brought suit against the attorney who defended him, He claims that he was convicted on account of the lawyer's malpractice, and demands $30,000 damages.

Gen. Crook, who is a philosopher as well as a soldier, advances the proposition that "man is more or less savage, according to the certainty with which his food may be obtained." Many beside Crook have noticed that the longer the waiter is in coming, the savager is the guest.

They tell in Brattleboro, Vt., of a clergyman who refused to take meat of his butcher because it had been killed on Sunday. A few days later the preacher told the butcher that he wanted some meat. "I

haven't any to sell you," said

the conscientious man.

"I

have stopped

receiving money that is earned on Sunday." An ingenious citizen of Ware, Mass., having repaired a small alarm clock for a friend, decided to deliver it on Sunday when he went to church but he did not see his friend before tho services, and during tho sermon the alarm went off and whirred awav for more than a minute despite the frantic efforts of the clock tinker to stop it.

When Mr. Jay Gould was taking a mountain ramble lately at Mount Desert, he was accosted by an old farmer, who came up to him and exclaimed: "Waal! So you be Jay Gould, bo you? Why you don't look as if you were worth five hundred dawllers!" Mr. Gould laughed, and answering, "Perhaps that's the best way to look, my friend," strode smiling away.

Boston's pet preacher, Rev. Phillips Brooks, gives audience to no male or female strangers except in the presence of his secretary. This ho does in order to avoid scandal, and it practically keeps at a distance all sinners who do not want to tell their troubles in the hearing of a third person. What Brother Brooks needs is a now revision of the Bible, which shall say, "Come unto me all ye that are woary and heavy laden and my secretary will give you rest."

A young man of Baltimore went west several years ago and corresponded regularly with an elderly lady friend in Washington. About six months ago he wrote that he'd get married now if he knew a nice girl that would have him. "There's a chance for you," said the lady, laughingly, to her niece when she received the letter. "Tell him to write to mo," said the young woman, also laughing. Tho aunt did so, the young man wrote, the young woman answered tho letter and the result of the correspondence that followed was a wedding between the young fofks, who, until a few days before, had nevor seen one another. Their friends say that both have done well. -R. Foster is offering bedroom suites cheaper than ever—a daisy suite for $15.

When the Leaves Begin to Turn, tho gentlemen begin to turn their attention to the matter of Flail raiment.

Leprosy in Laundry Work..

HOW IT IS DISSEMINATED.

Men Afflicted with the Disease Ironing1 Shirts.

[From the Troy Laundry Journal.] We have often called attention through the columns of the Journal to the dangers existing from patronizing Chinese laundries. If any further testimony is is needed to convince people of the risks they run in having their laundry work done up in these unwholesome Chinese dens, the following article from the New York Mercury will furnish conclusive evidence on the subject. In every city and town where these so-called Chinese laundries in operation, it behooves reputable laundryman to call the attention of their customers to the facts herein published, and in this way warn them

of the

dangers consequent on patronizing Chinese wash-houses. We call upon all laundrymen to give publicity to the article—through the daily papers where possible—for in this way alone will public sentiment be aroused against an evil that has already gained

To the writer that gentleman said he had no objection to talk of what the committee had discovered in the progress of a few months of careful investigation on the Pacific coast for he believed that danger to public health to be a real one, and one that could scarcely be exaggerated, and as the doctors never moved until driven by the public the sootier a public opinion was created the better it would be for our

PATRONAGE OF CHINESE LAUNDRIES by American families, and in tfee remaining eleven cases it was impassible to determine the mood of propagation. In San Francisco, within the period covered by the committee's inquiries, one of the most brilliant and promising members of the California iudiciaffl? had blown out his brains to avoid the ghastly doom of rotting alive. The judge was an unmarried man, and for many weeks after his death the cause of his ttnexpected suicide was a mystery. At length to satisfy the scruples of his friends, his physician divulged the fact that he was a victim of leprosy.

The classes of our foreign population," continued Dr. Hindman," "who seem to be constitutionally liably to the developement of leprosy are the Norwegians, who are quite numerous in tho West the Japanese, who are sparsely represented, and the Chinese, who are numbered bv tens of thousands, and are generally intrucing into every town, village and hamlet in all sections, of the country."

Armed with the authority to make a thorough inspection, the commission, headed by Dr. Hindman, discovered case after case in the cellars and gnm?ts of the Chinese quarters in San Franciscolepers in every stage of loathsomeness and squalor, who have not had a glimpse of the open sunlight for years for, in obedience to some strange instinct of secrecv, the Chinese conceal their lepers from sight and leave them to dieim dens and closets when they can no longer assist in making cigars or in laundry work.

I have seen in dens underground and in squalid attics," said the doctor, "Chinese lepers placidly rolling penny cigars, or

Dr. Hindman furnished many other cases uneerthed by the comtioission whose details were no lew loathsome and disgusting, but need not be repeated here. It was his intention when be projected hi* journey to the iutt to bring a well developed case of leprosy with him for the purpose of clinically illustrating the advanced stages of the disease. But he was dissuaded from undertaking this by his coadjutors On the committee, who argued that itmight

foothold in

this country. Upwards of a year ago says the Mercury, we called public attention, and that of the medical profession especially, to the dangers of leprosy arising from the influx of Chinese immigrants and instanced several cases of that dread disease due to the victims having frequented opium joints or to their patronage of laundries carried on by the moon-eyed Mongolian. The moment had apparently not yet arrived for a thorough investigation of the matter under the auspices of the Board of Health, as was then suggested in these columns, for although many physicians agreed thst the danger was a real one and the committee of hygiene of the County Medical Society took measures to ascertain the facts, no official movement was instituted and the movement proved abortive.

It appeal's, however, that the question is not to be tabled permanently by our scientific and sanitary authorities aud that the initiative, which will eventuate no doubt in awakening a vivid public interest, has already been taken by the Medical Society of the State of California, by which, at the recent meeting in San Francisco, a commission was appointed to inquire into the prevalence of the leprous taint among this class of immigrant population, its modes of dissemination among native Americans and the number of cases that have occurred among the representatives of races not liable to its spontaneous development. Dr. William C. Hindmanj t^s the representative of the commission just specified, arrived in this city last week en route for Boston, proposing to spend a few days of the heated term at JSahant and Newport and then to return and lay the work and purpose of the commission before the New York Academy of Medicine and the County Medical Society on the resumption of their regular sessions in September.

public. "I am not very sanguine as to the success of my self-imposed mission," said the doctor, in answer to a question on that score. "Public sentiment will only be aroused to the danger when some case of leprosy in high life attracts the attention of newspapers and causes a great hullaballoo. Then the doctors will wake up, declare they expected it all along and prod the Board of Health to take action."

:i The Way to Save Money Is to "buy your boots and shoes at A. H. Boegeman's, 104 South Fourth street. Hegets his supplies from the best manufacturers. Being a practical manufacturer himself, he knows what he buys and can guarantee the goods as represented. He is content with a very small margin of profit, and hence his prices are the very lowest.

Call on George Kern, 641 Main street, for the best Watches, Jewelry, Spectacles, at the very lowest prices. As is well known he makes a specialty of fine watch repairing.
