DousBLY AFFLICTED.— The Hoghes
family are just now undergoing a series of
sad afilictions. Last week the infant son
of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Hughes died quite
suddenly and hardly had the news of that
sorrowfnl fact been received until word
came from Milwaukee, Wis., that Donald,
the seven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed-
ward Hughes, had been strickenwith par-
alysis and was in a critical coudition,
The case is n most remarkable one, as it is
an extremely rare cocurrence for a child to
become paralyzid and the attending phy-
sicians assign but two causes for it. That
the stroke was canted either by a hemor-
rhage of the brain or a tamor. If the for-
mer there is a chance of not only saving
the boy's life but effecting a permanent
cute. If the latter, there is practically no
hope of a permanent cure and very little
of saving his life. It isa strange afiliction
aod the parents are to he deeply sympa-
thized with.
