Hart Points Out th Injustice of the Scheme. Walohlnu. Kau. November 26. Editor Advertiser: I have read the article. "No Lepers for Hawaii," ry Mr. W. O. Smith, and published in your Is sue of November 1. I fully agree with Mr. Smith In nis tplnions contained In the sail article, and sincerely hope that all who are in terested in the welfare of these Jlands will take a firm stand against tne in troduction of lepers from the Mainland to Hawaii. in m onlnlon It seems i-reposierous that such an idea should ever have en tered the minds of enlightened popie throughout the United States. Why should those jor unfortunates who may be suspected of hain con tracted this dreadrul disease d-j ii?pon ed from their own homes to Grange land, where, far from their deirest friends and relatives, they or lert to pass their remaining years In what, to them, might be called a miserable ex istence? Would those who might be sent here willingly obey anj suomu io the rules and regulations Jail down for them? Is It not natural to suppose that after living in a' country wh-re every enjoyment and everything necessary eould be procured to make life a source of pleasure that tneir minos wouia re volt against the Idea of being Isolated In a country where everything Is strange to them? The language, society ana nxner in fluences would certainly make life dls laatofui in them, and nerhans be a - ti; . dim- 74 Mill r VI I " v - rultles which might prove dlrlmf-ntal to the Government of these Island", . nd the welfare or the pumie in genenu. Let us hope that the FeIeral Govern ment will seriously reflect before tag Ing such an unwise step. Am Mr. Smith suggests, why does noi esrh State throughout the Union pro vide proper places for Its lepers, vhere the localities to some extent may be mad attractive to them, and where .... . is.ni ri v thev mav have the pleas ure of seeing from time to time those most dear to them, ami whose presence would certainly have that consoling ef fect from which, if nt to th-se Isl ands they would be forever debarred.

The countess, -who Is a brilliant woman' of striking appearance, was obdurate and renounced the world. taking first the two-year tows, and last year she pledged all her life to Buddhist missionary work.
