New Orleans, May 17.—There Is a place
behind the levee on the east bank of the
Mississippi 80 milee above New Orleans
that the river boats pass In the early
morning long before the passengers leave
theJr berths, so it is not pointed out as
one of the sights of the river. Perhaps
It would not be pointed out, anyway, as
It could hardly be expected to enhance
the attractiveness of the route. The lazy

plantation negro, passing It on the river
road, “get* a gait on” his mule, because
of a superstitious dread; and to those
even, who fear only the material, the eerie
atmosphere brings a shudder. The char
acter of the place is little known, ex
cept to the Creoles of Iberville, the parish
In which it lies, and to the steamboatmen
who bring supplies to It. An uninform
ed person would suppose it was only one
of the several deserted plantations to be
seen along the Mississippi, relics of Louis
iana's '"fo de wah” glory, though a larger
and grander ruin than the others. Such
It was until 1894, when put to its present
use. It is now a leper colony, the only
institution of its kind in tha United
States.
When arrangements were made in 1894
for the removal of the band of lepers

outskirts of New Orleans to the old and

the residents of tlye parish threatened to
attack the Invading force and burn down
the place. When they learned, however,
that the state officials stood ready to
hack the project with a military force
they gave In. Late on the night of Nov.
30 the melancholy procession moved out
from the pesthouse and climbed Into cov
ered wagons, which were driven to the
river front, where a barge, towed by a
t"g. was awaiting them. No steamer
would convey them, fearing to hurt Its
passenger traffic. In the morning they
were safely lodged In their new quarters,
end there began for them an easier and
Pleasanter life than they had known elnce
the relentless law had shut them off
from their fellow men.
The leper settlement proper Is enclosed
by a high board fence, outside of which
none of the lepers are ever allowed; not
even after death, for they are burled In
their own little cemetery In the south
esst corner of the enclosure. About IS
acres are enclosed. On three sides of this
Is thick forest; on the fourth the river.
The two long rows of cottages
that were once slave quarter*
have been repaired end are
now the hornet of the lepers. The men
occupy one row and the women the oth
er. Between the tows a double line ct
moss-oovefed oaka rune the entire length.
On the men's side, In the space between
their cottages snd the fence. Is a vegeta
ble garden that the able-bodiled among
them work. On the women’s side Is a
flower rardtn that occupies much of their
time. One of the cottages on the women's
'lda It used aa a chapel. The dining room
la the half of a raised cottage that
"rosses the enclosing fence. Thoee who
*fe able walk to their meals and help
'he sisters attend the other*. The half
of thla house without the enclosure te
used by Father Claltey, the prleat now
ministering at the Institution.
When the new site we# decided upon
the Slater# of Charity were asked to take
' harge of It. The mother euperior of the
organisation asked for volunteers, for she
would tend no others on such a mission.
Home stld they would go anywhere they
were sent, but could never volunteer for
'his fearful work. Four stave up thetr
to the cere of ttye lepers To this
number a Miss Dehan, not a elster, added
her services. Several priests have been
assigned to serve for short periods un
til relieved. As y&t none have contracted
the disease. They live apart from the
lepers entirely, and when waiting upon
them or caring for them they wear gloves.
This noble little band has made the home
a home indeed, but their toils have not
eradicated the horror of the place felt
among the lepers of the outer world who
have succeeded In preserving the secret
of their affliction. The law of the state
provides that all lepers shall be commit
ted to this institution; but the law is not
enforced. There are now 32 lepers con
fined here, while nearly 200 are harbored
secretly in their homes.
The identity of those confined at the
Institution is maintained a profound se
cret and few outsiders are allowed to
enter the place. A permit, by no means
easy to obtain, must be presented before
a visitor is admitted. The most tragic
cases at the institution are two young
girls, both of them beautiful, cultured
and members of prominent Louisiana
families. Not a mark has yet appeared
upon the face of either—but they wear
gloves, always. When the writer visited
the enclosure these girls were sifting in
the garden, reading to several children
and old men. A sister Introduced the
writer to the girls without mentioning
their names. Both talked cheerfully and
without reference to their terrible fate.
Their cases are. of course, hopeless; ail
leprosy cases are.
Life in the settlement Is by no means

as terrible for the most of the lepers as
one might suppose. Many of them are
perfectly able to do a good days' work,
but no labor la required of them. What
work they do is done of their own free
will. Many of them take a great pride tn
their gardens. For recreation the live
liest of them play croquet and even lawn
tennis; while those who are partly inca
pacitated carve wooden ornaments and
crochet. They have all sort of indoor
games, and friends keep them supplied
with reading matter. Complaining, pet
ulance or rebellion against their fate is
almost unknown among these unfortu
nates. They await the inevitable end
with a quiet and touching patience, treat
ing each other with unfailing sweetness
and tenderness. They are a devoutly re
ligious body. Marriage, of course. Is not
permtited among them. The children of
the settlement were all legally assigned
there with one or the other of their pa
rents. Though laprosy is more prevalent
among the negroes than among the
whites, there are but seven negro In
mates of the colony. There has been but
one escape from the Inciosure, that of
a lad who scaled the fence and got safely
away. About a month after he had gone
the Sisters received a letter thanking
them for all tljelr kindness and Informing
them he was on his way to the Sandwich
Islands, where there was more scope for
those of his affletion.
This Institution is not the first leper col
ony In this country; It has had two pre
decessors. both In the same state. There
has been leprosy In Louisiana since the

the province from the West Indies; and

ous that the authorities had to establish
a home and isolate them. The home wjs
erected on Metarie Ridge, a high strip
of land surrounded by swamps, Just west
of the city. It lasted fifteen years, until
the patients disappeared, either by death
or escape. The crusade had ended after
forty had been ferreted out and Incar
cerated there, and then the unfortunate
beings were left to eke out a doubtful
existence. Little or no attention was paid
to them further than the provision of
funds to imburse the contractor for their
care; and rumor has it that the lack of
care and the desolate surroundings hast
ened deaths and warranted departures.
“Leper Land," as the spot was called,
remained a wild-looking place until 1805,
when a band of itinerant Indians pitched
tlieir tents upon it and tore down the
rattle-trap building for firewood.
Relieved of this constant reminder of
the prevalence of the disease, and heat
ing and seeing little of it. because of the
seclusion kept by the lepers, who feared
another crusade against them, the pub
lic grew apathetic to or forgot the dan
ger. So, on to 1878, the disease smoul
dered in hidden quarters. In this time 80
cases were admitted to the Charity Hos
pital in Near Orleans. The Board of
Health became fearful, at this Juncture,
that so many should remain at large,
and began a canvass to ascertain the ex
act number there were in the state, with
a view to recommending to the Legisla
ture that they be again isolated. But,
owing to a rumor persistently circulated
that the authorities intended nelzlng the
lepers and transporting them to an island
in the Mexican Gulf and there abandon
ing them, considerable difficulty was ex
perienced in locating them, and only 37
were ascertained.
After two years the board succeeded in
having the cases then under Its surveil
lance consigned to a building in the sub
urbs set apart as a pesthouse. The his
tory of this place is the same pitiful ta(6
as the former; no management, a dearth
of attendants, and those few inefficient or
fearful of their duties. As new cases
were discovered they were sent to this
place. A number of cases developing In
the proximity of this home and the old
one was the cause of the state establish
ing another apart from all habitation.
This tvas the present institution, as suc
cessful as such a colony may be.

The collection of Assyrian and Babylon

when he explained these relics to an In

SEEKING A PROFESSION,
Hundreds of Students, Factory Girls,
Etc., Now Engaged In Study and
Work Will Soon Freaent Surpris
ing Statistics—Some lionet Who
Are Making Wonderful Record* In
the Electrical World.
New York, May 17.—“1 do not under
stand why more women do not study elec
tricity," said the professor of electrical
engineering at a famous university. "To
my thinking it is a profession far more
suited to women than law or medicine,
surgery or other callings, which they flock
to, and X have never talked with an in
structor who did not entertain the same
opinion. Electricity is clean, requires no
streng'n in manipulation, and calls for
no greater order of ability to understand
its lawn than is necessary to master other
learned professions. It is a fascinating
study, one likely to increase in interest
and supply an ever-broadening incentive
for work. It offers, moreover, abundant
chano# tor substantial returns and those
who have applied themselves to it have
male excellent record*. The Massachu
setts Institute of Technology has turned
out five or six woman graduates in elec
tricity. Nearly all the state universities
have at times had women students in the
electrical engineering class rooms, but
tney have been the exception and not the
rule. Women study physics and chemis
try, they go all around the subject In Us
underlying relations, but they give elec
tricity pure and simple the oold shoulder,
when it is in reality well suited to their
capacity, physical and mental."
Women Who Have Won.
America can boast one woman who is
a Hill-Hedged electrical engineer with six
years’ active work to her credit. Miss
Bertha Lamme is one of the staff of engi
neers to- a big manufacturing company
in Pittsburg. She designs machinery,
makes calculations and does exactly the
work of a man electrical engineer. 3he
is 28 years old; is a native of Ohio, of
Dutch ancestry, and is a graduate of the
Ohio University.
One of the live examiners in the elec
trical department at the t>atent office ir.
Washington is a woman. She was among
the first women in the country to study
electricity, and has held her present posi
tion many years. Her duties include tne
keeping track of all Inventions and appli
cations for inventions, touching electricity
in any form. And she must have practical
as well aa scientific knowledge of the
availability of the articles submitted.
There are possibly 50 women in the
country who have taken either a full or
partial course in electricity, either from
private instructors or at the co-educa
tional institutes. A few of these, are
owners and managers of electric lighting
and electric car plants In various places.
One hears of them through the manufac
turers of electrical goods. At Bay City,
Mich., at Saginaw, at EllenviUe, New
York, are electric plants operated by wo
men. A Pennsylvania woman is assistant
purchasing agent for a well known firm.
She is credited with such familiarity with
electric appliances and fittings that she
knows at a glance when the goods offered
are being held at a higher figure than
they are worth or whether they are cheap
at any price.
Several women use their insglht into
electrical sctence to write what may -e
termed popular articles on the subject
for papers and periodical*. Others give
lectures on electricity in the smaller
towns, and have classes at private
schools. The foremost woman in electri
science anywhere in tha world is Mrs.
Bertha Azrton of London. She has made
valuable investigations of the phenomena
of the electric arc, and is a frequent con
tributor to scientific Journals. Irately she
read an Important paper before the Eng
lish Institute of Electrical Engineers, tue
first paper ever read before that body by
a woman. There are other English wo
men who me working prctlcally as elec
tricians. but Mrs. Azrton la wholly a
scientist and is recognized in Great Bri
tain, Europe and here in America, where
electrical genius has made such marked
progress, as having been of much assist
ance to the science.
In the factories at Chicago. Pittsburg,
Schenectady, Harrison and other places
there are hundreds of girls and women
working at the manufacture of electrical
goods. They make ail the filaments for
the lamps. They wind the armatures for
the dynamos. They wind and cover with
spun silk or paper, miles of wire, large
and small, used In the Induction coil*, in
the great underground cables, and on th
magnets for telephone receivers and
switchboards. These women tip all the
cords, solder all the important little med
iums and do all the deft and delicate
work necessary In such manufacture.
Five or aix forewomen will supervise and
instruct the others in a single factory.
The first class workers have the chance
of promotion end of steady work at good
pay, aa long a* they wih It. The manu
facturers are anxious for intelligent girls
to train.

A woman who is regarded at electrical

She la as familiar with influence ma

electricity as a remedial agent, she holds
a place in public estimation similar to
the one Mias Lamme holds as an electri
cal engineer. For, according to compe

electricity scientifically, are also electrlosl
engineers, only their workshop holds prob
lems of health, life and death.

edge of the modern agent. She is a grad
uate of the lowa State University, and
had held various important offices in
state medical and charitable institutions,
both in lowa and Pennsylvania, before
she adopted electricity as an aid to med
icine. Miss Cleaves has invented va
rious electrical apparatus. There are
many physicians in the great cities hav
ing women assistants, whom they have
Instructed In the administering of elec
tric treatment and who are quite profi
cient. These women are familiar with the
electric-arc bath as a substitute for sun
shine to an ailing body. They under
stand hydiwelectrlc applications, gal
vanic ourernts and something about dose
measurements. They are not scientists,
but from constant contact with electrical
apparatus they are able to treat patients
successfully and some have set up sani
tariums of their own.
“But,” said an authority in regard to
these amateurs, "too great stress cannot
be laid upon the necessity for the use
of the best knowledge and the best in
struments of precision so as to insure
careful dosage. Electrical engineering
leads all other branches in the exactness
and certainty of its results. This is Just
as true in medicine as in general elec
trical work, and it behooves a thorough
grounding in the principles of electricity
as a science before its application to cur
ative, use should be taken up. Electricity
Is an agent that lends Itself readily to
the sensationalist and the smatterer In
many lines. Some women are agents
for the makers of electrical goods and
apparatus in the physicians’ line. They
are sufficiently versed in their subject to
talk glibly about the goods they handle.
Any one inquiring into electrical matters
hears of these Just as he hears of fa
kirs in the other callings and professions;
but the face remains that although the
number of women graduates in electric
ity is not one-fifth that of women grad
uates in law, theology, botany or art,
those who have mastered the study have
made a notable success of it. There Is
a woman expert telegraph operator who
has at various times illustrated the
workings of automatic telegraphic ma
chines put on the market by an experi
enced inventor. She has been at the el
bow of the inventor from first to last,
and he, while versed In the theory of
his machine, was powerless to show it
in actual practice unless this ally was
along to demonstrate Its value. She has
traveled all over Europe on such er
rands, meeting all the famous authorities
In telegraphic matters."
