WHEN Mrs, Kitzmiler, of Philadelphia, fell
sick few weeks ago, she sought to effect a cure
by means of prayer and faith, both she and her
husband being believers in that doctrine. As
it happened, however, the prayers were not eff
cacous, and she died without the assistance of
a DOCTOR" as the facetious paragraphists have it
Her friends and acquaintance are talking about
the affair in very different manner than would
have been the case had she miraculously re-
covered, and the coroner will investigate to see
if Mr. Kitzmiller was to blame. Believers in
the faith-cure theory hold that this action is in
stigated by pure jealousy on the part of the
medical profession, and that they themselves
would be equally justified in demanding the cor
oners services when a man dies under a doctors
care, and without spiritual aids to recovery
They do not threaten this, however; but main
tain that it is the privilege of the free American
citizen to choose his own physician, and if he
chance to prefer the Great Healer to member
of any school," old new, it is his affair,
in which the law and its officers are not con
cerned

The editor of the Enquirer just took arun over

with the Governor and to talk about The flu
ture of baseball and other matters and things,
and the subject of politics was never thought
of by either one. Any man with grain of
