George Raab, who is serving Uncle
Sam in the effort to put down the Philip
pine insurrection, sends us copies of
The Tribune, daily paper published in

"a little fellow" says the Kennebec
Journal, "the oldest in a family of little
ones, whose father worked away from
home winters, had occasion to visit his
grandparents for few days. On his re-

Why is it that in case of sickness,
regardless of the nature of the disease or
the condition of the patient, there is a
general influx of usually idle curiosity
seekers, who, without respect of deport-
ment or the probable results to the sick

domestic rights and sick room privacy ?

gross neglect ofduty, when a person suf
ferng with smallpox is allowed to travel
nearly hundred miles on railroad
thereby exposing whole communities tc
the dangers of contagion from this dread
disease"
