quisite, and although she has been an
invalid for nearly year she showed no
signs Of it save being possibly possessed
of a more graceful languor."

CRIMINAL NEGLECT.
DR.. Cleveland Tells the Facts of
Alice HearOn's Death.

The appearance of carelessness on the
part of DR.. Cleveland in connection with
the death OF little Alice Hearon from
diphtheria is very much modified on closer
inquiry and the explanation of the doctor
himself. On hearing the other side of the
case the health authorities have decided not
to arrest DR.. Cleveland.
The doctor explained that for some time
he and his wife had been helping the
Hearon family, because of its needy condi-
ton. He had not seen the little girl for six
days prior to the date OF the certificate, and
at that time her throat was thoroughly
healed and she was on the road to recovery.
Under the most ordinary care she could not
help but improve, and as there was no fur

beers of the family Joined him. and The poor
little suffering girl was left to thrive as best
she could. For the want of simple nouriSh-
ment rapid decline set in. Notwithstand-
ing this, however, the father saw the doctor
on the 9TH inst. and reported his daughter
all right, at the same time asking for GER
tifcate that he might have the plague signal
removed from his premises
knowing that the child should have been
well and not suspecting the truth, the doctor
wrote the certificate, which brought the
whole matter to the attention of the health
authorities. When an Inspector went to
The house to fumigate he saw at once that
the child was dangerously Ill and told the
father SO. The latter did not seem at all
interested in that fact. however; his sole
desire was to have the placard off his door.
so he could go on with his business. His in

tor refused to do as he wished.
On the following day the Inspector called
again and found the child worse. Still
Hearon ignored her and insisted upon hav-

declared impatiently; ''you can move her

While they were parleying the child died.
