CHOWLEY ON MILLS.
Why He Will Vote for the He-Election of
Roger Q.
A News reporter yesterday Baked State
Senator-elect Miles Crowloy how he stood
regards the re-eleotion of Senator Mills. The
big Galvestonian replied:
"I'll tell you how I Btand in that matter. I
shall support Mr. Mills for re-election to the
United States senate. I shall do bo bocause
the majority of my constituents in this, the
Seventeenth state senatorial district, have ex-
pressed their preferences for Mills, and in
supporting Mr. Mills I shall simply bo carry-
ing out the desires of those who elected
me. And, too, I am triad to voto for
Mr. Mills for the reason that personally he
is my choice for the office. Mr. Mills' views
on the tariff are well known. There is no
humbug about him. Ho is a man for tho peo-
ple, more than any man in publio lifo of
whom I know. And he is a strong advocate
of the true doctrine of reform in governmental
administration—a low tariff and a sound cur-
rency."
"Suppose that the citizons of Galveston
wish any chango made in the city charter by
amendment, can they look to you to advocate
their cause?" asked the reporter.
"Can they look to me to advocate their
cause? Well, I should say that they can. What
the majority of the people want in regard to
any amendments being made in the city char-
ter I shall bo only too glad to try and get
passed. That you may be very sure of."
AMUSEMENTS.
••The Old Homestead."
The New Orleans Daily City Item of Nov.
28 says: "No Bermon ever taught a broader
lesson or inculcated Btricter morality more
than Denman Thompson's beautiful play,
"The Old Homestead." The play is well
known, as are also many of the ladies and
gentlemen comprising the cast. No
printed story could do justice to it.
There are subtle touches here and
there in it which tell a story in a word. Never-
theless the main plot stands out in bold relief.
"The Old Homestead" might, with truth, bo
termed a staged idyll, through which runs an
immensity of pathos and a vein of quaint
humor. Throughout the play there are con-
stant and true touches of human nature, some
times so broad as to bo almost a caricature,
yet still not too broad for effective stage pre-
sentation."
Performances to-night, and matinee Tues-
day and night.
He Did Walk on the Water.
Yesterday afternoon, at Woollam's lake,
Professor Alphonso King, who lays no claim
to being a worker of miracles, walked and
rode a bicycle on the water, to the astonish-
ment of nearly 1000 people.
Probably the most interesting part of the
performance was ten boys trying to walk a
greased pole which extended out over the
water. The successful boy got a prize, but
what yellB weut up as each boy, time after
time, tumbled heels over head into the pond 1
A white lad won the prize.
Cut Him Five Times.
Last night several negroos got into a regular
knock-down-and-drag-out fight on Forty-
fourth street between Broadway and avenue I.
Wilson Milton had his lip slit and was cut on
an arm, the back and twice over the ribs.
When Milton felt the hot blood running
down his "laigs" he sat down and waited for
a policeman to come along and ring in the
ambulance. Milton said that he was too
busy during the scuffle to notice who cut
him.
Milton was taken to the Sealy hospital.
WHAT REV. SAM JONES SAID
At his closing services in Galveston November
28: "And I wish also to extend to Goggan
Bros, of this city my thanks for their kindnoss
to us. This firm has given us the use of a
piano and organ free of any cost; they did the
same thing in Houston and San Antonio. I
wish to recommend this firm to you people
who buy musical goods; such men will treat
you square. And 1 want to say right here that
my indorsement of Goggan Bros, is entirely
unsolicited by them and they do not know
I am making any talk in their behalf."
Bishop KinsolvinR'a Sermon on tho Practi-
cal Work of Christians and the
Dutios of Church Members.
The Hlght Itov. O, \V. Kinsolving, D. D.,
bishop coadjutor of tho Episcopal dlocose of
Texas, preached yesterday at Trinity church.
Dr. Kinsolting is in tho primo of lifo, of com-
manding ability and a man who would at
onco impress one with oarnestnoss and smgle-
noss of purpose and groat force of character.
The following is tho full toxt of his sermon:
Ho that knoweth to do good and doeth it not,
to him it is bid.—St. Jauixs iv., 17.
There are two kindB of "doing good" to
which these words may have roferenco. First,
"to do good" may signify much the eamo
thing as "to be good." A man doos good who
is good in his personal life and squares his
conduct and character to n high standard of
purity and oboys a proper code of morals.
Then, in tho second place, there is another
kind of doing good which applies to practical
work ill behalf of others, our follow men, to
work dono for God and tho advancement of
his church and kingdom in tho world. Both
of these distinctions aro perhaps included in
the term. as the apostle here uses it. He
says in the first chapter of this opistle, to
which the words of the text rofer back:
'Pure religion and undetiled before God and
tho Father is this: To visit the fatherless and
w'dows in their affliction." This is one kind
of douig good, tho practical kind, "and to
keop himself unspotted from the world."
This is the other kind—to do good to our-
BolveB, to be pure and upright and exemplary
in our moral characters.
We are going to uso the words of our text
this morning specially in thoir former sig-
nification, and when wo are speaking of doing
good we rofer in particular to practical work
dono, to good in behalf of our follow men, to
service rondored to Almighty God, to duty
porformcd and labor undergone for our Lord
and Mastor and hiB church in the world.
N'ow, just as thoro is a two-fold meaning In
tho words "to do good," so iB there a double
reference contained in tho words "ho that
knoweth." These words imply a contrast be-
tween those who havo knowledge and those
who aro ignorant. It seems to be in-
timated that there are those who do
not know to do good, as well as
those who do know. Such a comparison
or contrast betwoen these two classes is not
only implied but plainly Btatod in the teach-
ing of our Saviour in the gospel of St. Luke,
when he says: "That servant which knew Iub
lord's will and prepared not himself, neither
did according to his will, Bhall be beaten with
many stripes; but he that know not and did
commit things worthy of stripes, shall be
beaton with few Btripes."
So that it would appear that thoro aro two
such classoB of peoplo in the world, people
who do not know how to do good, and people
who do know. Exactly who they are who
belong to this former class, in these modern
days, it would be right hard to determine.
There aro people in hoathen countries, per-
haps, who might with propriety bo described
as those who do not know God s will, or what
the good iB which he calls them to do. But in
Christian lands the number mu6t surely be
small, of whom it could with any sort of
plausibility or truth bo declared that ignor-
ance of religious duty and responsibility
sorvos as a just ground of excuse for failuro to
do what God and humanity alike demand of
them should be done.
In thoBe enlightened days, and among a
people boasting of their progroBB and attain-
ments; in a country whero knowlodgo is so
widespread as to be practically universal, it
can not bo that thoro aro yet dark corners
where tho rayB of religious information never
ponotrato. Where men dwell perpetually in
the midnight gloom of those faron times of
ancient paganism, or in tho ignorance of
modern Africa or South sea island savagery.
If thero aro such peoplo with sadness would
wo allow them all the credit and comfort
which would be implied in the teaching which
Bays that had thoy not known thoy had not
sinned. If they are really in ignorance they will
escape with few stripes though they do little

God's truth and to help on his cause and the
great cause of humanity. However, thoss are
not the kind of people we are going to speak
of at present. This class may be in Africa or
in the out-of-way places in our country, or in
the slums and alleys of our city, but they are
not among us, uor do they conatituto a part of
our congregations. Wo are another sort of
people altogether. We belong to
THE CLASS WHO KNOW
to do good, and we would resent it as an
unkindness, and even an inBUlt, did anyone
dare to assert tho contrary. Taking it for
granted, then, that we all belong to the class
who know to do good, that we are well
informed and instructed with refer-
ence to religious duty and our obligations as
good citizons and true Christians, let us ex-
amine ourselves in the light of the latter
clause of the text. Let us soo whether we
stand acquitted or condemned when the spirit
of God brings home to our consciences the
entire passage, "To him that knoweth to do
good and doeth it not, to him it is sin,"
Now, whether wo aro among them or not,
my brethren, undoubtedly there aro vastly
greater numbers of people in tho world who,
though they do know, yet do not do the good,
than those who do it not bocause thoy know
it not, and it is of these kind of people that
we wish specially to speak, of those who know
and do not, of intelligent, woll-instructod
people, of those who bear tho name Christian,
porhaps, and havo been members of the cove-
nant since the days of their childhood. In a
word, we ask you to consider certain thoughts
which concern idle, inactive, useless Chris-
tians—Christians who, knowing their duty and
doing it not, are guilty of sin. I suppose wo
are willing to admit, without argument, the
existence of this claBs of poople. To the most
superficial observer it must be evident that the
amount of work done by the church in the
world in gonoral, or in any particular com-
munity, is altogether disproportionate to tho
forces and moans which ought to bo available,
and which, judging from muster rolls and
other standards-of computation, soem ready at
hand. If it were a mere matter of outward
organization and numerical strength what an
extraordinary and irresistible power ainotg
men the church of Christ would be. Were every
baptized person fired with zeal for God and
enthusiasm for helping humanity to rise and
be redeemed: were their hearts kindled to
work for the Master and to advance the
charitable ana missionary enterprises of his
kingdom; were they fully alive to their duty
and glorying like St. Paul, in nothing save
Jesus and him crucified so that they eould
Bay with the apostle, "For mo to live is Christ.
The life which I now live I live by faith in the
Son of God." In view of such a condition of
things how short would be the time when the
entire globe would bo evangelized, and all
men would know Christ from tho least unto
the greatest, and the knowledge of the Lord
would fill the earth as the waters cover the sea.
But in place of such inspiring and rapturous
visions what is the actual spectacle which
greets tho age? Not the onward march of
uuited and countless columns. Not a grand
and invincible army of men advancing wit h
banners, aud the steady nerve and quick tread
and the determined and terrible battle cry of
conquerors and freemen. Ah, no. Half the
army does not come up to tho fight at all,
while hosts of those who are present, like the
Israelites before the Philistines, flee to their
tents, while one here and there, like David,
must go out and oncountor single handod
the Goliaths of sin and error and wrongs of
earth. God's work iB left to the faithful few,
while the many hide in cowardice and remain
indifferent as though they had no part nor lot
in tho results. And what is true of the church
at large is equally true of every community,
and of almost every parish. Alas! how much
"doing it not" is there among tho many who
know to do good, while the heat and burden
of the day is left to be borne by the handful
of God's chosen onos, who, realizing their ob-
ligations and appreciating their privileges,
have refusod to bu Idlers and shirkers in the
market places. It is so frequently the case
that almost the entire work ol a great mid Im-
portant parish will fall u|ton tho shoulders of
half a dozen persons, while tho rest art* prac-
tically as worthless as a swarm of drones who
allow the wax and honey to bo tho products of
a few industrious and thrifty occupants of
the hive, while they waste their little existence
amid the cloying sweets of donothingness.
All! how full our churches are of
t'hki.khh, INAf'TIVIC CHRISTIAN*,
Christians who aro coutont to look on whilo
an earnoat woman horo and a conscientious
man thero discharge, as best thoy can undor
theclrcumstancos, the multiform responsi-
bility of instructing tho young, running tho
Dorcas societios and missionary agoncics, ami
sewing schools and Bible classes, nnd other
philanthropic and bonovolont undertakings,
of getting others interested in tho causo of
Christ, of bringing in our young men, and
young women, too, alas! from rosorts of
temptation and haunts of evil, of studying
how to render some Borvico to tho church and
benefiting and elovating our fellow men.
Why, there is no ond to tho work to bo dono
if Christians would only wako up and bo in
earnest and cease to be idle and would refuse
to leave to others tho vast work
which God and humanity are crying
to us, oach and overyono of us, in-
dividually to do. Do you not hear tho cries
all around you? Poverty stretches forth its
wretched hands and bogs for relief. Sorrow-
ing hearts need comfort and sympathy. Thero
are ten thousaud wrongs which ought to be
righted, and there aro social evils to be re-
formed and iniquities to be trampled under
foot and destroyed forever. SouIb aro perish-
ing at our very doors. Men are engulfed in
the dark waters of sensualism, lust, intempor-
anco, impurity; and, though wo nnvo a life-
boat, we dream tho hours away, and will not
man tho boat and lay hold of tho oars nnd pull
to their roscuo. Tho cause of Christ languishes
nnd we look on withindifforonce. The whoels
of the Messiah's chariot drag heavily and clog
in tho iniro of tho earthly soil through which
they pass, and yet we stand by the wayside
and will not put our shouldors to tho wheel
und cause tho car to movo uu in triumphant
procoBBion. No; we are idle, useless, uncon-
cerned.
Now, were you to ask tne for an explanation
of such a Btato of things, of why it is that so
few seem ready to ongago in good works,
while the largo majority knowing the good
yet do it not, I might reply in several ways
and givo you different answers, as determined
by the standpoints from which wo viow tho
matter. In the first placo, we might say that
tho trouble is with tho defective character of
our religious foelings. Tho idea in St. James'
mind wus that poople wore in dangor of mak-
ing their religion consist too much in mere
sentiment or feeling, and ho says in Bubatanco
that nothing more injures the soul than wasted
impressions. Foelings exhaust themselves
and evaporate if not embodied in practice.
As wo will not act except wo feel, so
if we will not act out our feelings
we Bhall Boon cease to foel. Thus our
inactivity may oftentimes be oxplained as the
result of mere emotion without exertion, or of
callousness and hardness, which is what re-
mains to ua after we have ceased to care or
fool. Or, without putting tho matter quito so
seriously as this, some people do not do what
thoy know they ought to do in tho way of
active church work, because of a lack of self
reliance or from a mistakon sonse of modesty.
The amount of shrinking, lowly minded hu-
mility to be found in an ordiuary congrega-
tion is something marvelous in the extreme,
and if peopio wore only in reality as modest
and unpretentious about their capacity for
usefulness as thoy appear, our parishes would
be ideal resorts where dwell the choicest
spirits and where bloom the most lovely How
era which adorn the stock of human nature.
Nothing can be more beautiful and attrac-
tive than a person who is really unassuming
and full of self depreciation and humility.
But I doubt very' much whether things are
always what they seem, and much of this ap-
parent modesty is but a becoming cloak be-
hind which wo conoeal our sloth and laziness
and unwillingness to work. But granting the
feeling may be genuine aud sincere. Btill it is
wrong to allow any feeung or any trait of dis
poBltion, howevor valuable and lovely in its
place, whether of modesty or self deprecia-
tion or what not, to interfere with the per-
formance of duty. Humility becomes sinful
when it paralyzes effort and makes the pos-
sessor of it a coward or a sluggard,
Nor will it do to say that other people can do
the work so much better than wo. or that we
are not to be compared in ability and apti-
tude to somebody else. It matters not whether
Bomeothor person can discharge acertaiu func-
tion with more efficiency than yourself or not,
If you have a call to the work and know
in your inmost conscience that you ought to
be doing something and yet are not doing it,
you are guilty of sin. Neither will it answer
for you to say that what little you can do is of
such small consequence that it will not be
misaed, whether done or left undone. Little
drops of rain make a great Hood. A single
spark of fire can consume a large city and put
the whole world in a conflagration.
The bishop illustrated his argument by a
description of a region of the Tyrol where the
mountains were built up from an old bed of
the sea by coral insects through ageB of un-
ceasing work.
He next discussed the lack of appreciation
among Christians of the necessity for work
and described the just man who contributes of
his Bubstanee but withholds his personal ef-
forts. The church needs attendance. There-
by others will be attracted and sinners enticed
into goodly paths. The church has societios
guilds, Sunday schools and other collatera
institutions which require the personal work
of every member.
In conclusion he spoke feelingly of the new
relationship between himself and the church
in Texas and besought tho co-operation of the
laity without which he could not attain suc-
cess. He set forth the needs of the church in
this Btato in the way of funds, ministers and
candidates for orders and closed by quoting :□
"Try mo of God and sook tho ground of my
hoart. Look well if there bo any way of
wickedness in me and lead me in the way
everlasting."

KANSAS GRAIN TO COME.
Opinion of a Wheat Man Who Has In-
vestigated This Port.
Mr. J. F. Hammers, a wheat man of Well-
ington, Kan., who has been in Galvoston tho
past three days looking into the possibilities
of this port as a grain exporting point, said to
a News reporter yesterday:
"When I started from Kansas for Galveston
1 expected to find hero a commonplace city.
I am disappointed, happily so. 1 have found
a moBt beautiful city, rich beyond my ideas,
nnd situated as should bo a groat commercial
center. I came to study tho situation as to
the possibilities of a grain export busin ess
being built up here."
"Woll, what havo you concluded? Come
now, give up," said the News man.
"Well, to begin with, when you speak to
Kansans of Galveston as an export point, they
do not know just what you mean. They never
hear of this city excopt as a buyer of wheat
for tho flour mills here. 1 came hero in con-
nection with the business which wo might pos-
sibly do with new grain houses which we heard
were to be established ill this city.
"In talking with Mr. Roymorshoffor I
gathered from him that the millers had boon
trying to get up into Kansas and get the busi-
ness started in this direction. Just as surely
as you get deep water I look for Kansas grain
men to coine here and go into the grain busi-
ness.
"Thoro must be a rigid system of inspection
established here. We want a full and fair re-
turn. Our poople are sore over the way the
Kansas City and Chicago grain men treat
them. In these cities they often cull the
wheat a grade or moro, and the only satisfac-
tion Kansas shippers get is that the wheat is
graded No. 3 instead of No. 2.
"If I go into tho grain business in Galves-
ton, and I expect to do so, I shall go person-
ally to the small dealers in Kansas and talk
with them. I shall show them that Galveston
is a better grain market for them than any
point in the United States. I Bhall get a lot of
grain turned this way, and, once started, the
flow will gather body until Galvoston will be-
come such a competitor as to make Kansas
City and Chicago grain men quake. And if
KansaB shippers do not take advantage of this
port thoy will have causo to "regret it.
"Galveston has to-day the best elevator sys-
tem that I ever saw, and the best system of
weighing grain. We have nothing bo com-
plete in Kansas. There is here a oheck on the
system of weighing which beats anything that
has come under my obseivation.
"When you get the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railway in here, and get that road to
make rates from Kansas points, you will be
able to get grain from plaoeB which you do
not reach now. The Missouri, Kansas and
Texas and the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacifio people are in position to work
together in this. And if the Kansas business
la turned here it will cut Kansas pity's busi-
ness in two.
"Galveston is about two hundred miles
nearer to Kansas than New Orleans, and that
mileage should cut quite an important figure
in freights.
"My idea in this business is to send the
wheat here direct instead of having it go
through three or four middlemen's hands.
"Texas is to-day a better market for grain
than either Kansas City or Chicago. I know
those grain shippers in Kansas, and when I go
up there and explain how I have found the
situation to them I can get all the wheat I
want. 1 have made my mind up to come
here Buro, and as Soon as I go homo and settle
up some business I shall go out with the small
shippers and put tho matter in the right light,
Galveston's grain trade should be as largo as
her cotton trade. There is room enough for
all of us in it."
First Baptist Church.
The attendance at the Sunday sohool of the
First Baptist church yesterday morning was
the largest in a long time and the heartB of
Col. Denson, the untiring superintendent, and
his faithful corps of teachers were greatly en-
couraged in their noble work. Mr. Hale made
a short talk on "Remember Thy Creator in
the Days of Thy Youth," and several of the
pupils manifested an earnest desire to be
Christians.
Mr. Hale also preached at 11a.m. and 3
p. m., and to tho children at 7.30 p. m. At 11
a. m. the toxt was: "Believe in the Lord
Jesus Chriat and thou ehalt be saved." He
preached especially on taking ChriBt aa one's
Lord or Mastor and doing faithfully what ho
says. At the close of the sermon there were
about twenty who publicly professed their
faith in Christ and thoir determination to lead
Christian lives, and a number of others asked
for prayer. Thirty-seven othera were received
into the church. Dr. Lamar said he had
never seen such a scene as this. The interest
was profound.
The large audience of children gathered at
3 o'clock and thoy were given six points to
carry homo with thein concerning tho Saviour,
when a little boy of 12 years, as recorded in
the second chapter of Luke, viz: "Ho loved
God's house; God's word good company;
was willing to take a child's place; was obe-
dient, and desired to be about his father's
business."
At the evening service the church was
crowded, and the subjoct was, "The Worldly
Minded Family"—Luke xvi, 19-31. The
speaker asked if there were not many such in
GalveBton? "Notice, it was a large family.
How many daughters, if any there were, we
do not know, but there were six brothers.
And it was doubtless a happy family. It was
an affectionate family. But it was a family
where one was dead. That is the oase with
most of our families. Sadder than that with
this one—was dead and in hell! A mother
said recently: 'All my living children, I be-
lieve, are Christians, and all that are gone I
have hope are in heaven.' Can that be said of
all our families?"
A beautiful quartette was rendered at the 1
Where to Send Periodicals.
A News reporter yesterday visited the Sealy
hospital. This institution is crowded with
patients, and there is an absolute need of
light reading matter such as Puck, Judge,
Harper's and illustrated periodicals generally,
Novels aro very welcome.
A few days ago a box of books was donated

THOUGHT IT WAS LEPROSY
THE EXCITEMENT CREATED AT THE
STATE MEDICAL 0QLLEGB.
Several Students Join in Asking the Dis-
charge of a "8uspoot"-Report of
an Eminent Pathologist.
There has boen quito a commotion kiokod
up at the State medical college in this city,
tho cause whereof it John Williams, asuper-
numary janitor.
Williams was admiltod to tho Sealy hoipitnl
on April 8 last, and discharged thorofrom on
July 16. His case was, on admission, diag-
nosed as ann-sthesia of the arms below the el-
bows, and of tho logs below tho knees. Also,
nocro.ii of tho torniinal phalanges. Tho
plainest way of stating tho English of it is
that WiIliamB' forearms and logs below the
knoos wore dead to feeling, and tho onds of the
fingers and toes wore dead sure enough. In
tho arms and legs tho nerves at the surfaco
were dead, so that a pm could be thrust into
the flesh and no sensation be felt, and the
bones of tho finger nnd toe extremities were
dead.
Williams had boen treated in St. Mary's
infirmary during a year or more for a spinal
trouble termed Morvan's disease.
This waB said to be tho first case on record
in tho United States and was fully qoported
in the United States marine hospital report
made about a yoar ago. The peculiarity of
this disease is that it resembles leprosy, but
that nothing short of a careful examination of
the Bpine can determine accurately whether
the Bufferer was afflicted with Morvan's dis-
ease or with leprosy. As a man must needs
be dead before such examination can be made,
Williams' case can not be declared positively.
Therefore Williams' is what is termed a
leprosy suBpect."
W'illiams was for some yoars in the United
States navy, and has boen on the China sta-
tion. Servico aboard a inau-o'-war makes a
man neat, und also very particular about spit-
tins on the floor. If a naval sailor spits on the
deck of a man-o'-war when the ship has been
cleaned,
JIMMY tSGB,
tho mastor-at-arms, sees to it that a spit kit
is slung to the culprit's nock with a lanyard,
and the man then goes up and down until ho
doteots another bluejacket spitting on tho
deck, when tho latter man wears tho spit kit
until he in turn 1b relieved by another careless
sailor.
Having boen brought up where neatnoss is
drilled into a sailor-man (the old sailors say
that the oath a naval sailor takes readB: "You
do solemnly swear that you will keop your
shoes blacked, your clothes neat, your scrub-
and-wash clothes out of sight, will support
the constitution of the United States, so help
you God, kisa the book") it was but natural
that Williams should keep his weather eye on
the "deck" of the medical college rooms, and
whenever a student would spit thereon or
throw a cigarette stump under a bench Wil-
liams would growl about it and mutter some-
thing about "them landlubbers Bhould make a
cruise in a man-o'-war once; they'd learn I"
This sort of goings on aroused the ire of
several of tho medical students, who, a day or

method* of investigation.
At t>r***nt I ha»»
in courso of preparation a tnird specimen
two ago, presented tho doan of the institute,
Dr. Paine, with a communication, stating
that the students believed Williams to a "sua-
ject," and asking his removal from the col-
ege. This oreated a sensation, and some of
the faculty, when the matter was laid before
them, did not want William* discharged, for,
they said, it is not certain that he is a leper.
Others of the faculty wanted Williams dis-
charged, bocause they thought that the short-
est
way to restore peace
among tho students would be brought about
through letting the "suspect" out. It was then
found the faculty had no power todiBcharge an
employe of the state institution. The short of
the matter now is that Williams has been or-
dered discharged by the proper official at
Austin.
Yesterday evening a News reporter called
upon Dr. Allen J. Smith, the profeBsor of pa-
thology in the medical college, with a vie* of
obtaining reliable information upon the mat-
ter.
Dr. Smith stated, upon boing interrogated,
that the oase had first come to his notice more
than a year ago, when Williams was a patient
in the United States marine ward in St. Mary's
infirmary, whore he saw him by invitation
from Dr. Alexander C. Smith, the marine hos-
pital surgeon of this port. The man had
come into the marine ward from the lino of
cotton barges plying between Houston and
this port, and had been in tho infirmary for
some months. His case had been viewed by
previous surgeons of the marine servico as
one of Morvan's disease, and was published as
such in tho Marino Hospital Reports of last
year. He was afterward ordered from the
Bervice at Galveston to that of New Orleans,
but preferring to remain here left the hospital
and returned to the barges.
After a time Williams applied for admission
at Sealy hospital and was placed in charge of
Dr. Allen J. Smith, the neurologist of the in-
stitution, and was afterwards employed in a
minor position in the college. Dr. Smith
stated to the reporter that he had, from tho
first, been struck by tho similarity of the
symptoms of the case to those of the anaes-
thetio form of leprosy, and had obtained,
through the kindness of tho marine surgeon,
whilo tho case was yet in St. Mary'a infirmary,
a bit of tissue that ho might discover, if pos-
sible, the characteristic germs of leprosy
therein. In thiB endeavor he was unsuccess-
ful, however, and Btated to tho representative
of The News that he understood" that Prof.
George Dock, formerly connected with the
old medical school of Galveston, had likewise
failed in a similar endeavor.
"The similarities between Morvan's disease
and ana-slhetio leprosy," said Dr. Smith,
"are moro striking than would bo imagined at
first, when it is recalled that the former is
generally viewed to be a disease of the spinal
cord and essonially of a noninfectious na-
ture. Morvan's disease, so called from the
name of the physician who first announced
its existence, is believed to bo a variety of
Byringo-myelia, a disease due to tho develop-
ment in the spinal cord of cavities, arising
usually from the breaking down of tumor
masses in the cord. It is spoken of also as
•'painless whitlow" or painless fever, and is
bolieved to be a combination of ByrUigo-my-
eliaand inflammation of the peripheral nerves.
As yet, however, there aro but two, or possi
bly three, cases which have been examined
after death and it is not certain whether these
conditions are constant. From cases de-
scribed during life the latter of those condi
tions is, however, a constant feature,
"The symptons of the disease in question
aro usually found in the upper extremities,
but in advanced cases the feet may also be in-
volved. At first there are neuralgic pains,
which give way later to wasting of the mus-
cles of the hands'and forearms, loss of all
forms of sensation, partial loss of power and
the development of various trophic or nutri-
tional disturbances as deep ulcerations of the
fingers. Usually the extreme ends of the
fingers aro involved first, and most markedly!
and sometimes tho terminal portions are lost.
These ulcerations are painless, as a rule. An-
aesthetic leprosy closely follows this same line
of Bymptoms, and is, in fact, precisely like it
in miny instances. As a rule they are not as
decided ulcerations in the latter as in the
former, and a brownish pigmentation is apt
to develop in the parts effected. These dif-
ferences aro, however, not by any means abso-
lute.
the only positive sign
of difference is tho existence in the tissues of
the leprosy patient of the bacilli or germs of
leprosy. For these I have made two separate
examinations in this man's instanoo, and al-
though I had succeeded in demonstrating
them in a case in Philadelphia Beveral years
since, I failed entirely in both attempts in
this instance, following precisely the same
from this man, aud belief* that I must suc-
ceed, If ever, if the case be ono of leprosy.
"The symptoms and tome parts of the his-
tory of William*' Wo do not render tho sup-
position of leprosy improbable, but In viow of
tho diagnosis of Morvan's disease by govern-
inent medical experts, and in now of tho neg-
ative ovidenco givon by Dr. Docks, and my
own failuro to demonstrate the bacilli of lop-
rosy, I mutt decllno to give a diagnosis of tho
latter disenso.
"Thoro are two sidos to tho quoitlon, as It
always the caso, and regarding Ills prosont oc-
cupation as largely an isolativo ono from tho
community, 1 would hesitate to placo tho ban
of society upon tho man. An incorrect diag-
nosis of insanity and the contoquont confine-
ment of n sane man in nn insano asylum
rondors the diagnostician liable before the
law; not tho less culpablo may a mistako bo
regarded here. The man has been for somo
time undor orders not to touch tho general
drinking glass and to uso a separate closet,
has a room to himself and has boon informed
as to the possibility of his affoction being
leprosy. The case was utilized last spring us
tho text for a clinical lecture to the third yoar
class and tho close reeemblanco to aiiiesthotio
leprosy pointed out.
"Thero has been no attompt made to conceal
the possibility of an ultimato diagnosis of
loprosy, nor, on the other hand, has the fac-
ulty taken occasion to noise the matter
abroad. Because of the publication at the
hands of government officials of a diagnosis
of Morvan's disease and in tho absence as vet
of positive proof to the contrary, tho matter
has been simply hold in statu quo. Of this
tho publio may rest assured that, If whilo the
case remains in the Sealy hospital, where <
Williams will naturally drift when his dis-
charge from his position in the college is put
into elfoct, a definite conclusion be reached, it
will be made generally known.
"Evidence is apparently growing stronger
from year to year that leprosy—even granting
that the caso is leprosy for the sake of argu-
ment—is of a very slight infoctious power. It
may almost be said that it 1b no worse than
the infectiousness of syphilis, aud the num-
bers of syphilitica in our midst is almost be-
yond enumeration. I am told, for inBtanco,
by Dr. Cerna, the demonstrator of physiology
in the University of Texas, a Mexican by birth
and of many years' residence there, that the
disease is
not at all uncommon
in that country and that he has personally
known of cases of leprosy living among
healthy individuals, in the same houses, sleep-
ing in the same bods and eating at the samo
tables with healthy persons for years, without
transmitting the affection. This, howover, I
do not regard as an excuse for silence in case
of positive knowledge; nnd should the third
and last examination givo definite results, I
will be pleased to place them at the disposal
of the public prints."

Galveston, Tox., Deo. 4.—To The News :
In an editorial in Sunday's News on the ques-
tion of fresh water supply for the city of Gal-
veston The N ews Btated the points to be con-
sidered in connection therewith very clearly:
1. Ib tho Hitchcock supply of water suffi-
cient for all adequate purposes? 2. The pos-
sibility of the Hitchcock wells becoming im-
pregnated with Bait by pressure from the Gulf
of Mexico.
Permit me to state to the public that tho
board of water commissioners will not act
. « . .
to have ail doubtful question settled
to both the questions of supply
and that of the possibility of
the water becoming contaminated
with salt by pressure from the gulf. We will
make no final recommendation to the city
council until we have thoroughly satisfied
ourselves on these two points. Our hydraulic
engineers, Colonel B. S. Church and Mr. W.
Kiersted, assisted by the state geologist, have
examined the different sources of water sup-
ply, and they have recommended the location
of a system of wells at or near Hitchcock,
where quality and quantity can be had. This
recommendation, however, is dependent upon
surveys and calculations yet to be made in
order to ascertain whether it is possible that
the wells will be contaminated by salt water,
due to back pressure from the gulf. When
haBtily in a matter of bo great importance to
the future prosperity oftnis city. We proposo
