WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. There are now
000 lepers and 164 clean persons at the
Molokal leper settlement In Hawaii, ac
cording to a report Just received from
Chief Quarantine Officer Cofer, in chnrge
of the Marine, ispllal work in Hawaii.
All these are' , fed, clothed and gov
erned for $S0, ''4. .year. Tho report
praises the hope!. 'V. cheerful manner lu
which these poor p 'eslgn themselves
to their fato and poll. that such con
tentment can thrive o. a comfort
able mode of life and ' treatment.
Surgeon Cofer reports he h. direful In
quiries ns to the chances of tr.- ; ''Mon of
the clean people working nmonM, ( lepers
and that the general opinion wa.f'that In
time they would becomo lepers. In the
last ten years only ten clean residents
have become lepers. The Board of Health
has tnltiatcd a new system for preventing
the lepers and tholr relatives and friends
from embracing and kissing each other by
marching the visitors Immediately from
the steamer landing to a corral with a
doublo fence. The friends are cohipellcd
to remain Insldo this enclosure and tho
lepers gather around and talk through
tho bars. Visitors ore permitted at any
time under this system, Instead of only
once a year as formerly. The results of
known exposure to leprosy, says tho re
port, show an uncertainty as to tho
chances of Individual Infection, which
makes the disease one of the most difficult
to operate against. Women are said lo
he less llahlo to It than men. Tho thrco
oldest patients nt tho settlement arrived
In 1874, 187." nnd 1S79 respectively.
The number of commitments each year
during tho last decade, ranging from 133
In 1801 to eighty-five In 1000, show gradual
decrease In spite of the fact that the hunt
for lepers throughout the Islands never
beforo has been so vigorous.

"There Is no rancor in my heart tonight
for any man. I feel a kind of universal
friendship for all., During past political
campaigns all said things that we regret,
no doubt. At least I did, but I go away
cherishing uothlng but goodwill for all."
Ho revlowed his political campaigns

The. Northwestern railroad, It Is learned,
Is preparing to take an excursion from this
city to Milwaukee and return for the No-brnskn-WlsronsIn
foot ball gnme. Other
rallrouds also havo the matter under con
sideration and a rate of $S or less is ex
pected as a beginning. Tho distance to
Milwaukee is greater than to Minneapolis
and for that reason It Is not likely thnt the
ratos will go down as low as those for the
Nebraska-Minnesota game.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16. John Jacob Astor of
New York dropped tho rolo of millionaire
today and took up that of n locomotive
engineer for a short time. With blue
Jeans overalls and buckskin gloves tha
colonel sat on the right aide, ot a locomo
ttve cub nnd piloted tho fast mall on tho
Lake Shore road. It was not a record-
breaking performance but It came near
thn mark and proved that at least one of
Now York's 400 can do things out of the
usual.
Colonel Astor was scheduled to come
to Chicago In company with President
Stuyvesant Fish of the Illinois Contra! rond
to attend tho annual mealing -which was
held today. He missed tha train to which
was attached the president's prlvato car
and tho directors gave up thn Idea of having
htm nt the meeting, tloforo they reached
Chicago their doubts woro dispelled hy
tho receipt of a telegram stating that hu
would be here on time.
In order to keep his word ho took the
fast mall, technically known as train No.
.1, at Now York at RMS Tuesday rooming.
Wlion Elkhart was reached at fi:05 o'clock
this morning the colonel decided to com
plete the trip on the engine. It was n
matter of only a few minutes to make thn
arrangements for the ride. Out of South
Rond there is a fairly straight stretch of
Irack, with a slight downgrade, westbound.
The engineer Invited his guest to "take
tho ruins" and the Invitation was coupled
with another to push her along. The colo
nel accepted both Invitations. From South
Rend to La Porte, a dlstancn of twenty
miles, the new engineer made th dis
tance In a trlflo under twonty minutes.
