ence in this city of sick strangers" The
BULLETIN, though as perfect as things
usually are In this world of imperfections
is still mortal. Therefore il does tire of q
truitess effort to infuse meagre fact into
the Uranium of an apparently wilfully OBJ
fuse fellowman.

Two Paducah boys, named respectively
Nance and Robertson, about fifteen to eigh-
teen years of age, were captured in the
city by Deputy Marshal TRADER AFTER yes
terday. They had run away from their
homes; but dispatch from the marshal OF
Paducah to Marshal Myers was the means
of interrupting their flight. Their fathers
came down on the boat yesterday afternoon
and took them home.
The funeral of little Josephine Stuart
took place Sunday afternoon, but the re-
mans were not taken to Villa Ridge by
train in accordance with previous arrange
ment, because the companyrefused to receive
them without certificate from the
attending physician, who had unfortunately
been called away from the city and could
therefore not furnish it in time. A num-
Der of buggies were therefore procured and
the funeral started for Villa Ridge accom-
panied by large number of friends.

The smallpox is on boom at Coving-
ton, and some fifty cases are reported in the
Commonwealth, the editor of which states
that the Board of Health has been instruc-
ted not to report any more cases. This lndl-
Gates something like an epidemic. The
loathsome disease is travelling all over the
country and has possession of nearly all
the principal cities. 1t may, or it may not
reach us, but to be on the safe side should
it be introduced here, would it not be well
for the city council, at its meeting Monday
night, to take some steps toward procuring
some genuine vaccine matter, and having
all those citizens vaccinated who are liable
to contract smallpox We hope they will
give this matter some consideration, as it is
very important one-Paducah News.
1t is said that constantly dropping
water wears the stone" This is no doubt
true; but we imagine that water would
have hereculean Job to wear through some
editors skulls. THE BULLETIN has been
trying for several days to make theArgus un-
derstand that no charity cases whatever are
admitted at the Marine Hospital, but that
all such are treated at st. Mary's hospital,
by the Sisters Of the Holy Cross. Every
citizen in town understood this "all along"
but, though it has been published time and
again, the Argus still talks of the marine
hospital, "where the majority of charity
cases are provided for by private subscrlp-
ton" Such obtuseness is really getting to
be painful and we feel like abandoning the
case asa hopeless one.
