CASES.

The Children OF Cne OF the Stricken
Men not Permitted to Attend School
The Other Patient Is Boarder
in the Fsmily-0ther Cases in the
State.

At the annual meeting OF the state
bord OF health in Madison Thursday
Secretary Wingate will report the re-
suits of his official investigation of
the cases of two lepers reported to him
from the town of Bristol, Dane county.
On Saturday DR., Wingate was noti-
fled OF the decision Of the school au-
thorities of Bristol in refusing TO pro-
vide school privileges for the children
OF q leper and he went out and looked
into the matter. The other case OF
leprosy is that of u boarder in the
family of the leper whose children
were excluded from school The
school authorities were fearful lest the
other children in the school contract
the disease and refused to permit the
leper's children to attend unless the
father and the boarder were isolated.
II came to Dane county said
DIR. Wingate Monday and found that
four children are large enough to so 10
school, but have been denied that
privilege. OF course these children
must wv paw W. uuN uNn \
think that under the circumstances
they should be permitted to attend
the school TO which the other children
go. Leprosy Is a germ disease and il

death.
The two Dane county patients are
Swedes and both cases came from the

New York, Jan, 21.--It is author
itatiyely announced that the American
Red Cross society will execute it's mis-
SIGN of going to Turkey in behalf of
the suffering Armenians Miss Clara
Barton, president OF the American Red
Cross, and the members of her per-
sonal stan will sail from New York
tomorrow, the date originally decided
upon, en- route for Turkey No word
has yet been received from Minister
Terrell at Constantinople in regard to
the dispatch sent to the Turkish lega-
ton at Washington that the Turkish
government would not allow the So
ciety to distribute relief in the Turkish
territory. Miss Barton felt, however,
that 1t was desirable TO start according
to her original program, without an
ticipating the possibility of being
stopped Those who go will be Miss

citation; Ernest Mason, linguist and as
sistant secretary, and Miss Lucy
Graves. stenographer, all attached to
the general headquarters in Washing

pital will be taken the surgeon-in-
chief, DR.. A. Monae Lesser; the sister

Friends, who was on Miss Barton's stan
in South Carolina and will be district
executive in Armenia. Other members
OF the general staff will swell the
number to twenty persons.
Miss Barton's departure to give re-
lief to the Armenians is the result Of
a conference held in New York recently
with representatives OF the various re-
lief committees at work throughout the
country, when she consented to en-
bark the moment preliminary guar
antee fund of $4,000 was raised. This
amount was promptly forthcoming, and
it is expected that before she reaches
Turkey, through the generosity OF
American sympathizers, the committee
will have collected 100000 additional
to be Immediately devoted to relief
work in the field. Within few weeks
it is believed that grain and clothing
will also be contributed in sufficient
quantity to enable the committee to
charter steamer and send supplies
direct to Constantinople. Miss Barton
claims the Red Cross never begs for
cent. 1t is the people who ask her
