FAITH COULD NOT CURE.
Death of Woman Who Ignored
and Rejected Medical ski.

Middle Island. l.. l., Sept. 2T.-Mrs. Ida
Freeman, who refused medical attendance
and placed her faith in prayer TO heal
physical infrmities. died at her home.
on the shore of Artist Lake. in this place.
at o'clock yesterday morning.
She was suffering from a complication
of pIeurisy. heart trouble and Indigestion.
and within the last few days it developed
that she was suffering from cancer.
Mrs Freeman was the widow of Henry
V. Freeman, and was about fifty-three
years old. She became i'll about a month
ago. and from the first refused medical
attendance. Her daughter. Miss Genevieve
Freeman, a trained nurse, left her work
in New York city and went home 10
nurse her mother. Mrs. Freeman's broth
er Dr. A O. Van Horn OF Brooklyn
also visited her, but Mrs. Freeman stout
ly refused to receive any medicine. She
had unbounded faith in the power of di-
vine healing, and despite the entreatieS
of her daughter and her brother, she re-
mained firm 10 the last.
There are six sisters in Mrs. Freeman
family, and about ten years ago they re-
ceiyed what they considered indu5itable
evidence of the efficacy of prayer, faith
their sisters, who was said to be dying
of consumption and past all human aid
That sister is alive today, and since that
time no one of the sisters has ever used
medicines of any sort They based their
faith on the Scriptural text, The prayer
of faith shall save the sick.
As Mrs Freeman grew worse IL was
thought in her weakened condition that
her determination would give away, and
that she would consent TO receive medical
aid Her case was not considered critical
if she had proper treatment, and those OF
her friends and family who did not share
her belief anxiously waited for some sign
of relaxation of will on the part of the
patient, but Mrs. Freeman was firm tC
the end She met her death without a
tremor, fully convinced of the righteous
ness of her belief.
Her death is greatly regretted in this
community. She was a most eStimabie
woman dear to all who knew her. Added
to the sorrow caused by her death is the
feeling among her friends that her life
might have been saved had she submitted
to medical treatment

OPPOSED TO THE ARCHBISHOP.
Cubans Wish IA Change of Religious
Office in Santiago.

Santiago de Cuba. Sept. Flowing to
the strong animus shown by the Arch
bishop of Santiago during the war more
than hundred prominent Cubans yester-
day presented a petition to Gen. Wood
praying that representation be made to
the Vatican for his removal and for the
appointment Of Father Luis Mustellier
canon of the church here, as his success
sor.
Father Mustellier has sympathy for the
Cubans, and is we'll liked in the United
States by Cardinal Gibbons and Arch
bishop Ireland.
Strong representations have been made
by Father Mustellier to Gen. Wood re-
garding the status of the church in the
province. He stated that the property
held amounted to more than sufficient to
cover all the ecclesiastical expenses and
even to contribute TO the state besides.
He has. also proposed scheme for the
establishment of parochial primary
schools under church management.
Little doubt is expressed here that the
Archbishop will be removed, as with his
connivance much church property has
been removed surreptitiously since the
American occupation.
Gen. Wood has formally completed the
organization of a rural police force for
Santiago province. 1t is based on the
Mexican rural system, half civil, half
military There will be mounted priyates
with non-commissioned officers and the
lower grades of officers-Cubans- Of
ficers of the higher gradeS-Americans.
For arms they will have machetes, car
bines and revolyers. Recruits must pass
strict physical and mental examination
and must be of good character and take
the oath acknowledging the supremacy of
the United States. Soldiers of the Cuban
army who voluntarily surrender their
arms, take the oath and pass the eXami-
nation will have the preference.
The force is to be broken up in detach-
ments, stationed in the central part Of
each district of the province. Each de-
tachment will be under the command of
an American officer. Pay of privates will
be the same as that of soldiers in the
American army. Officers pay has not
yet been fixed.
Recommendations for the establishment
of the force were drawn up yesterday
and submitted to Washington. Col. Hood,
of the Second Immunes, will be offered
the command, with the rank of colonel,
but it is scarcely probable he will accept.

ILLINOIS GUARD FUNDS GONE
More Than a Quarter of n Million
Has Disappeared

s Disuppeufed
Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 27.-National
Guardsmen of Illinois return to the State
from Cuba, Porto Rico and Southern
camps TO find their maintenance fund in
the State treasury exhausted and the
treasury unable 10 provide for their fu-
ture support. The sum of s477,5O set
aside for the use Of the National Guard
during the years 1897 and 1898, has been
expended, and demand has been made
upon the United States Government for
100000 more for expenses incurred during
the mobilization OF the troops. OF this
SAT, 800 the sum of $4,000 can be easily
accounted for. What has become of the
remaining s277, 800 is the question now
asked by the people throughout the State
The disappearance of SO large sum
provokes sensational charges, to which
the legislature, and perhaps the grand
jury OF Sangamon county. will be forced
to listen. Under the acts of the legisla-
ture of 1897 there became available for
the use of the National Guard July /.
1897, s2O5000. On July l, 1898, s285, 900 more
became available The further sum of
$4,000 was appropriated to meet def
cheney in the funds existing June 80, 1897.
For parade grounds and a Chicago ar
mory $4,000 was appropriated. For the
re-equipment of State militia Congress
set aside S21 500 and for the naval militia
5000. T>he total sum of these appropria-
tiOns, supposed to literally cover all
guard expenses to July ]. 1899, was $47, 500.
Add to this $500, 900 which Gov. Tanner
says the State Advanced to the Govern
ment when the troops were mobilized,
and the expenses of the guard for the fif-
teen months past have been $4,000. To-
day the guard fund is bankrupt

ASKED TO RESIGN.
Orders to Huidckoper to Report to

There is good reason for saying that
Dr. Rush s. Huidekoper, chief surgeon of
Gen. Brooke's corps in Porto Rico, was
practically requested By Surgeon Gen.
Sternberg to resign.
While complaints We're being madl
against DIR. Huidekoper b. Gen. Sanger,
il is stated. Surgeon Gen. Sternberg sent
a dispatch 10 the War Department ask
ing that DIR. Huidekoper be ordered to
Washington to report to him. This order.
it is believed. was cabled to Dr. Huide-
koper by Adjt. Gen. Corbin, and a cable
followed from Gen Brooke asking for an
other surgeon.
DR.. Huidekoper will leave Porto Rico
very soon and will come to Washington
While his formal resignation has not
been rendered. the order to report here is
thought to be equivalent 10 a request for
his resignation. yet as he received on his
appointment a fattering Endorsement

SILENT ABOUT GARCIA.
SenOr Palma Refuses to Discuss tn
Generals Attack.

New York, Sept PIT. Estrada Palma,
representative of the so-called Cuban
provisional government In this country,
declined yesterday to discuss the inter-
view with Gen. Garcia, published Sunday,
in which Garcia attacked Maso and his
colleagues. Senior Palma said he was ex-
pecting letter from the general and
then he might have something TO say.
At present, however. he must be excused
from expressing any opinion about what
Gen. Garcia thought of the provisional
government.
AS for himself. Senior Palma said that
he most decidedly recognized the Cuban
government. He was its representative.
There are whole sections of the island,
he said, that know no other rule than
that of the provisional government. For
instance, said Senor Palma, the United
States is in control Of the eastern end
of the island of Cuba, the Spaniards are
supreme in the western provinces and
the Cubans are masters of the central
district. Now, said Senior Palma.
there is nothing for the people in the
central part of the island to do but pay
allegiance TO the provisional government.
They know no other.
But" said Senor Palma, "the minute
the United States takes charge of the
entire island then the Cubans, one and
ALL will bow down to that government
| and recognize no other. This state of af-
fairs they will be perfectly willing 10 ac-
cept until that time comes when there
shall be a stable government chosen by
the people of Cuba The Cubans are per-
fectly willing TO abide by the action of
the Congress of the United States"
Asked if there was any truth in the re-
port that Gen. Gomez had resigned from
command of the Cuban army, Senior Pal
ma said that the report was not true.
What men there are in the army were
still under the orders of Gen. Gomez.

Fiages.
Wisconsin's Gretna Green is what
Milwaukee has become. Eloping
couples flock thither not only from
neighbcring states where the marriage
laws are strict, but attracted by the DO
toriety the city has attained from sur
rounding towns and cities.
For all this the marriage laws OF the
state are responsible. No license is re-
quired; no advertising is necessary be-
forehand, and no report need be made
to the authorities within 30 days. Even
this last publicity may be avoided IT
the contracting parties are minded to
pay a bonus large enough to cover the
nominal fine imposed for such neglect
on the part of the officiating clergyman
or justice.
It has been iestingly said that "all a
man needs to get married in Milwaukee
is a girl" and it is the truth. 1t makes
no difference how young the girl is If
she is prepared to swear that she is =.
No consent of parents or guardian is
necessary, provided the contractingpar-
ties claim to come from outside the
state.
Rev. Wesley A. Hunsberger, D. D.,
pastor of the Grand Avenue Methodist
church, has performed the marriage
ceremony zoos times in the past three
wears. He has received over $4,000 in
fees. Two justices, McWharter and
Hayden, claim to have officiated. the
one 1850 times, the other 400.
Other ministers and officials through
out the city have also married many
couples, and the record as it stands il

Eighty per cent. of the eloping
couples are said to have come from
Chicago. Excursion boats ply all sum.
mer between the two cities. Thousands
every week have taken advantage of the
cheap rates for day on the water. and
sight of the Scream City's" attrac'
tions.
The boats are thus always well load
ed, more especially on Sundays. and the
ministers and justices reap harvest
from the flirtations indulged in during
the trip. Many couple return to Chi.
cago married hard and fast who had
not dreamed of taking such a step be.
fore leaving home.
The ease with which the step is taken
thus proves a curse to many an ill-as-
sorted couple. and the divorce courts OF
their own cities reap the aftermath
Marriage, in cities outside of Wiscon
