it is, of course. rather early to sur»

claims that he turned them over tr
Attorney Vosburgb. At any rntc the
persons to whom they were addressed
have not been able to obtain them
again, and have almost, given up hope
of ever doing so. Sometime ago Mr
McClellan took several of tho letterr
to an export, in cbi‘rogrophy in New

been very much disappointed with the
comparison made and view taken by
the expert. It is believed by several
that no person in their right. mind
would write such letters as were re-
colvcd in- Rowsyton by several peo
ple; therefore, the most. charitable
view that can be taken of the author
is that be has a decided mania for
that sort of thing. and unless restrain-

letters referred to above, were return-

BTUDVING CAUSES OF LEPROSY

LONDON. March'zlur‘ilr. Jonathan
Hutchinson. formerly president. of the
Royal tlollegc of Surgeons. who re»
contly returned to England duct
studying the causes of leprosy In
South Africa. bas‘nrrivcd at the con-
clusion that the. primary cause of the
disease is the use. as food. of barley
mired salt fish, which is sent inland
from Cape Town and elsewhere on
the west. and south coasts and is
largely consumed by the farmers and
in the industrial centers. While giv-
ing this as the chinfcanse of the. dif‘
fusion of leprosy Dr; Hutchinson ob-
tnincd conclusive evidence that lower
«y. in very executionai circumstances.
may be communicated from person to
person. He does not believe that it
is either Infectious or contagious. in
the proper sense of these wordspbut
may be communicated by eating food
contaminated by Icper’s hands»! I‘lr.
Hutchinson suzuests as preventative.
measures legislative control of the
fish curing establishments, the. diffus-
ion of information in regard to the

NOVEL TIES IN SILK.
As thcflseason advances we‘ speak with more certainty
regarding the different fabrics that will be worn. At the
Silk Department the Shantung Pongees and 'l‘ussab Silks
are in decided evidence. They both come in linen color.
which is rapidly growing in favor, and in stripes of self-
color. also in stripes of white. old blue. green. red laven-
der and black. ,
The Wash Tai’fetas and Dragonia Pongces are some-
what similar in make. They come in a very wide range of
colorings, beautiful shades of rose, turquoise, reseda. cas-
tor and many other colors. too long a line to numerals.
We also.invite your careful inspection of our Printed
Satins and Satin F'oulards. There are over a hundred dif~

they cannot be surpassed.
