PROCESSING HIS FAITH.

EX-GOv. Matthews, of Indiana, Passes
Into the Great Beyond.
WINGATE, IND, Aug. 28.-At $50
O'Clock this morning at the quiet
Meharry homestead where he was
taken Immediately after his sudden
aflliction, eX- Gov. Claude Matthews
passed away peacefully, surrounded
by his wife and all the other mem
bers Of his immediate family.
There was payer service accom-
panied by the singing of hymns at
the bedside Of the dying eX-govern-
or. Mrs. Matthews was very much
affected ana stated that she would
give anything in the world If her
husband would manifest by single
word his faith in Jesus. About 3
O'Clock the minister in the course OF.
the services asked the dying man II
he believed in Jesus.
The answer, as plainly as anyone
could articulate it was yes"
The three physicians regarded
this answer as miraculous, as all
agreed that the particular part OF
the brain affected by the paralysis
was that governing speech and that
! the ex-governor would probably
never have talked had he lived. 1t
was the only word he spoke after he
was stricken. He Immediately
lapsed into profound coma from
which he did not recover before he
passed away at 6 80 o'clock.
Gov. Matthews was born in Bath
county, ky., the birthplace of Abra-
ham Lincoln, Dec IT., 1916. He left
Kentucky in 1868, and settled in
VermiliOn county, Indiana.
Mr.. Matthews was elected Gov
ernor of Indiana in 1892. In 1896 be
was conspicuous candidate for the
Democratic Presidential nomina-
ton, and, after Bryan and Sewall
had been nominated, lie began a
brilliant canvass for them.

CRUELTY AND

ly Censure6 for the Neglect and IncOm-
potency Which Have Caused the Death
of Hundreds of Our Brave Soldiers.

The gross negligence and incom-
potency of the War Department, APP
parent at the various camps of
mobilization, and the cruel and
shameful treatment of our soldiers,
have called forth the condemnation
of the entire country, and not only
of this country but of other nations.
TO this Administration is directly
chargeable the deaths of hundreds
of soldiers who should be alive to
day, and the physical wrecks of
thousands of others, who, if they had
been properly attended to, would
now be in good health. Column
after column in the daily newspapers
tell narrowing tales of the anguish
and misery of the brave men who en-
listed to fight the battles of the
greatest nation on earth, and who
are now in contact with foe more
pitiless than the Spaniards. The

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-All the
officials here, from the highest to the
lowest, are denying responsibility
for the terrible condition of affairs
in camps and hospitals among our
soldiers. 1t is lamentable and Un-
deniable fact that thousands Of
United States soldiers hava died
within the last sixty days because Of
the want of proper care, treatment
and diet. Thousands more are sick,
and many will die, owing to the
same cause. The Indignation in the
East against the Administration
is simply intense. The soldiers are
writing home TO their relatives ana
friends, and they all tell the same
terrible story. They are sick and
furnishing for the want of pure food
and water and efficient medical
treatment. Their stories of suffer
ing are disgrace to the Admins.
tration and shame on manhood
Some one is to blame for this hOr-
rible condition, and while those in
authority may deny their response
bility, the facts will all come out in
]
great and rich, and could supply
every comfort and luxury to those
brave men who risked their all il
defense of the flag and the country
and that they should be allowed tt
suffer and die for want of the nee
essaries of life is as startling as it ii
revolving.
Then it is known that millions o
dollars have been expended in thu
War Department, and contract
given to Administration pets anC
favorites to supply the very articles
so much in need. Instead of dOini
this, however, the contractors hav
sailed down the money, robbed tn
Government and starved the sol
diers. The record is disgracefu
and frightful one, and in the end tn
colols Of the Mckinley AGmlstra
ton will not fly so high. The pee
pie will soon learn of the whole out
rageOus business which is already
public scandal, not only at home
but abroad.

Horrible Gaze of Malpractice.

Chickamauga Park, Aug. ia
horrible case of malpractice has been
reported from one of the hospitals.
A poor, sick fellow was brought in
from one OF the regiments with a
raging fever and in great pain. The
young surgeon, or rather assistant,
was sent to attend the case, and
diagnosed it as appendicitis. The
chief surgeon examined the case and
decided that it was not appendicitis,
He instructed the assistant not to
operate on the patient.
The chief surgeon soon afterward
went out, and the young surgeon
summoned another young medical
student, and, in the interest OF
science, the two performed delicate
operation upon the poor soldier.
The result was that they found they
were mistaken, and the undertaken
was called for to haul the poor fellow
away, dead.
One of the latest outrages to devel-
OPP at Camp Thomas is that at one of
the hospitals few nights ago the
nurses, stewards and surgeons en-
gagged in big poker game and be-
came so lost in admiration of a two
story jackpot that they could not
find time to attend the sick, who
spent the night moaning and crying
for water.
A reputable gentleman of this city
was at Chickamauga Park few days
ago and was in conversation with
the surgeon OF one of the New YOri

The Rev. R. F. Garrett, pastor of
the First Baptist church, Of Chat
tanooga, has written a letter, in
which he says:
al want to commend the press of the
country for its course in exposing the
cruel and criminal treatment of the
sick at Camp Thomas. The writer has
in quiet way made some inquiries,
both among officials and privates, as
we'll as personal observation, and the
conviction grows upon him that no
atrocities perpetrated by the Spaniards
upon Cuban reconcentradOs surpass in
cruelty the treatment the sick soldiers
have received at the hands of those who
swore to do their duty by them.
"rhe men have seen so much OF the
hospital horrors that they are afraid to
say they are sick for fear of being sent
to them, and keep going as long as they
can stagger rather than run the risk Of
being sent to them. The other day an
Ohio boy whom | know came to my
door sick with the fever, and | asked
him why he had not told the doctor he
was sick. He replied: Because he
would have sent me to the hospital, and
[ would have died there OF the dOz-
ems have talked to have not found a

have been managed and the treatment
patients have received.
The excuse has been made that the
hospitals are overcrowded aud the sup.
ply of nurses limited. Then why is il
! that every offer of assistance by oul
people is CURLY refused? Why is il
| that when some Of the best and nOblest
women in Chattanooga offer their ser
vices they are declined? Trained nurses
they may not be, hut far superior to the
rough ambulance corps, composed o.
men who never nursed patient in theil
lives. And if the hospitals are so over
crowded, why is it that when cur PEG

least, suspicious. The surgeons refused

MOTHER AND SISTERS INSANE.


ments Infam,ns Work.
MARIETTA, o., Aug. 27.-The
mother and two sisters of Oakley p.
Eddy of the Eighth Ohio, who, it is
reported, died of starvation on Il
transport while coming home from
Cuba, have become insane through
horror and grief at the death of the
young man and the manner In which
it occurred.
Mrs. Eddy Is about 56 years old
and her favOrite child was the boy
who died at sea. Her son left Ma
rietta about a year ago and went to
East Liverpool, where he enlisted on
the breaking out of the war in the
9Th Ohio, which was sent to Cuba.
A letter received here today from
comrade of Eddy's says:
"Privates Rouse and Eddy, who
died on the way home, succumbed
from the effects of starvation, and
over 800 men In the regiment are
seriously i'll, although only 1870 are
reported as being in that condition.
The Mohawk left Cuba on August s,
and ever since then the regiment
has been on short rations. thought
our regiment had lived hard on trav-
cling rations, but it was nothing like
L witnessed today on the Mohawk
with the 9Th Ohio. The men had for
supper soup and bareback. The
soup was made from thirty-four
small cans of beef and twenty-fOur
cans of tomatoes. This was intend
ed for l,200 men, some Of whom were
80 sick and weak thar they could
scarcely hold up their heads"
On one occasion, the writer says,
the food became so bad and scarce
that some of the men of the 9Th made
vigorous objection. There were q
large number of them. For this they
were placed uDder arrest and put or
duty cleaning up the ship.

THE probability of trouble with
the Philippine insurgents seems to
be disappearing, as the FilipinOs
realize that their interests are safe
under American control. Whether
Aguinaldo believes that his special
interests are likewise promoted by
American control, or whether
he has wisely concluded that OppO-
sition would be foolhardy, he seems
to have yielded to the inevitable.
In an interview with Aguinaldo he
processes a desire that his army
should disband and return to the
provinces. He says he has not an
army, but only a rabble. He hopes
the United States will form a free
and liberal government in the
Philippines, and says the United
States can count or his cooperation.
