WHITE PLAINS, N. z. October 3d.
Especial Mrs. Georg1ana Quimby. her
husband, John, and Christian Science
Healer John Carroll Lathrop. were tndict-
ed to-day for manslaughter in the second
degree. because Of the death Of Quimby's
little daughter, Esther, who died Of diph-
iberia while being treated by Lathrop
Attached to the Indictment was state

Our attention has been directed TO
treatment Of Infectious and contagious
diseases by persons who are not regularly
licensed physicians and surgeons. where
the rules of local and State BOARDS OF
Health are violated We have given care
ful consideration to the complaint made
to us concerning the death of 1-year-oid
child from malignant diphtheria. the cnild
being treated by so-called CHRISTIAN
Science healer from the city of New
York. This child was allowed to die with
out any of the remedies known to medical
science being used, an. medical men, can
ed before us, testified that the lie OF the
child could have been saved had proper
trea tment been used and proper reIneoles
applied
I'VE feel that fragrant violations Of the
health laws in this respect should pc
sought out by local boards Of health
throughout the country, to the end that
quarantine regulations may be more strict
~ enforced and the danger of the spread
ing Of infectious diseases be lessened
John Quimby said: Il cannot help what
the grand jury has done. I will willingly
stand trial. I want all the truth to come
out.

THANKSGIVING.

The Presidents proclamation reads as
if It nad been written before the coal
miners strike took place.
If there is any reference in it to that
event. it is deeply hidden, though he de-
scants upon the fact that each generation
Of cur countrymen has had to bear its 5
.peculiar burdens, each to face its special
crises Perhaps personal modesty, be-
cause of the part he himself took in bring
ing about arbitration, STAYED the Presi-
dents hand from writing that we haze
special reason for thanksgiving on account
OF the ending OF the strike.
The tine OF The war between the States
is covered. We suppose, by the alusion to
The period when the country was men
aced by malice, domestic or foreign levy
when in bodily distress and an
guish Of soul it paid the penalty Of folly
and a froward heart"
The latter is KtPlingish expression.
In enurnerating The causes why we
should render thanks unto the Lord on
Thursday. november 27th the President
writes graphically enough, and We have
no doubt Thanksgiving Day Will be gen
orally observed throughout the land.

The remark has been made that mas
n.uch as the ST. Louis exposition viii rot

aligent in urging the Legislature to make
provision for Virginia to be represented
there. are too previous" But not SO.

6 suitable State exhibit and not much
can be done until The commissioners know
what money they will have to spend.
We have no such collection as North
Cardinals: If we had, by drawing upon it
we could make ready after few weeks
notice
The DisDatct's idea is that the Legisla-
ture should at once appropriate a liberal
sum, with Instructions to the commission
ers so to expend it that it will create the
nucleus OF q permanent exhibit
Such an exhibit could be drawn upon
at any tine when Virginia wished to
make q display of specimens of her
wealth in agriculture. forests. mining, fish
cries, etc. And each county could be relied
upon TO furnish TO the permanent exhiblI
specimens o. The products in which it ex-
cells.
Counties that would not bother them
selves 10 make q collection for exhibition
at ST Louis on:y, would be Jealous and
active enough if assured that their sam
pies would be on continuous exhibition
here, when not IN use at expostions such
as those OF St Louis and norfolk
No; it is not too soon to begin work and
the work we do surely ought to be in the
direction of a permanent exhibition.

Black Sheep.
(Rn Richard Burton

(By Richard Burton.)
From their folded mates they wander far,
Their ways seem harsh and wild;
They follow the beck of a baleful star,
Iheir paths are dream beguiled.
Yet happy they sought but wider range
Some loftier mountain slope.
And little rocked OF the country strange
Beyond the gates of hope.
And haply q bell with Turing call
Summoned their feet to tread
Midst the cruel rocks, where the deep
pitfall
And the lurking snare are spread
Maybe in spite OF their tameless days
OF outcast liberty,
They're sick at heart for the honely
Where their gathered brothers be.
And oft at night, when the plains fall
dark
And the hills loom large, and dim.
For the shepherds voice they mutely
And IL their lei souls go out to him.
Meanwhile BLACK sheep! black sheepr'
we cry,
Safe IN ne inner fold;
And maybe they hear. and wonder why,
And marvel. out in the cold.
