A dipatch sent out from Wash ington says : "It is tated at the health office today that a son wras born last Friday toMrs. Lotta Early, wife of John R. Early, the North Car olina leper.

There is no suspicion of a sign that would indicate the presence of the disease, the physician said, and added that according to medical science there is no reason why the disease should have been conveyed to the child. "Mr. Early had not been in her new home furnished by the dis trict government more than forty eight hours before the arrival of the child. The cottage provided for her is close to one provided for her husband on the Washington asylum grounds.
