HOPE GONE, THEY
PLEAD FOR DEATH
Invalids Demand That Legal
Authorities End Their
Sufferings.
Especial TO The Tines-Dispatoh. ]

New York, December S.-John Nc
Allister tor seven years suffering
from muscudar atrophy. Is begging
for death. Mrs. Sarah Harris. an in
durable paralytic, prayed the legal au-
thorities to take her life.
Neither wants to live until Christ
mas. Both say they can bear the
pain. but they are haunted with the
fear that the day is approaching wheE
they Will go mad
This is the fourth time Mrs. Harris
has begged for death. Yesterday Mrs.
Harris's eighty ar-old son called on
her in the Audubon Sanatorium and
asked her If she would be home ia
time TO prepare the Christmas din
ner.
She has been in the hospital for
four years. and she has never been
on her feet during that time At first
she prayed. but now she says that
prayer will not help her. and she de-
mands that the State end her life on
the cot. The physicians diagnose Nc
Allister's ailment as progressive mus
cular atrophy. They say his muscles
are slowly drying up. and in a few
years ais flesh will have withered
away and ne will die.
He says the pain is not so bad but
to come that makes him demand THAT
the legal authorities take his life
MY wifs's presence makes me able
to bear the pain" he explained. she
has been here with me for seven years.
never leaves my side. except when CHE
has to attend to her home duties. Sho
keeps a rooming house that supports
us both
But all have to do is to think. A
man can dream when he Is awake
after he has been IN bed for seven
years. II is this thinking and dream
ing that make me want TO ole. What
if should go mad? How VIII I know
when insanity Is approaching?-
At the time the clinical congress of
surgeons was in session in this city
specialists visited both patients and
gave no hope for their recovery. While
Mrs. Harris has abandoned her belief
in the efficacy OF prayer. and saws she
is willing to meet God without special
intercessions, McAllister asks that the
church assist in putting him to death
He thinks that II the step is taken in
his case Il will lead to the abolition
of suffering for incurables and that
society and the church will heartily
sanction the practice in the future.
Mrs. Grover Cleveland recently
called at the hospital, visited Mrs. Har-
ris and was touched by her plea for
death. She left. promising II consult
specialists whom she thought would
cure her.
Both McAllister and Mrs Harris

OBITUARY.
MRS. HOWARD r. wHITcomB.

Il
Mabel C., wife of Howard F. Whitcomb,
died Saturday at her home on Bircn
avenue. No death in Ellsworth in recent
years has caused sadness to more hearts,
or called forth more universal expression
OF sympathy than this.
Early in the year, after consultation
with physicians in Bangor, she was told
by specialist at North Adams, Mass,
was decided upon, and there for nearly
nine months Mrs. Whitcomb submitted
bravely to the treatment which it was
hoped would restore her to health. The
disease was too deep-seated for human
cure, however. She was brought to her
home here October Z, and failed rapidly,
planning until the last.
Mrs. Whitcomb was born July s, 1866,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Eben E.
Church, Of Cherryfield. She was married
to Mr.. Whitcomb, OF Ellsworth, on Octo-
Der 80, 1895, and had ever since made her
home in this city.
In her youth, Mrs. Whitcomb had the
travel abroad, but brighter than mere
accomplishment shone the natural sweet
| ness OF disposition which made her the
chosen among friends.
In her home life she was devotion itself,
an example of the finest type of mother
hood. 1t is this that makes the sadness of
her death so poignant-the taking of the
mother from the little family so devoted
to her and she to it. The hearts OF all go
out to the husband in his bereavement, as
| well as to the parents and sister, Miss
Maud Church. There are four children
Morton, Paul, Charlotte and Helen.
The funeral was held at the home Mon
day afternoon, Rev. R. B. Mathews officiau-
| ing. Beautiful flowers in profusion bore
their love token. lnterment was at Wood
bine cemetery.

ORGAN RECITAL.


Fine Program Finely Rendered-A
Financial Success.
The organ recital at the Congregational
church last evening was most delightful
affair, and a success artisticaliy and finan-
cially; for 1t those who attended are in
debted especially to Mrs. A. p. Wiswell
and Mrs. h. NJ. Hall, who were mainly re-
sponsible for the arrangements.
The artists were Albert s. Hopkins, or
ganist, OF Bangor, assisted by Miss Bertha
Giles, OF Ellsworth, soprano. Mr.. Hop
kins has been playing at the church Sun
days for the past six weeks, greatly to the
satisfaction of the congregation, and
many expressions of regret are heard that
he is to leave town.

S Grand March from "Tannhaeuser. Wagner
This recital was the first opportunity
many people had had to hear the new in
strument, and the occasion gave the or
ganist free scope to display its capacity.
As will be noted by the program, the Sc
lections covered a wide range, and from
the grave and impressive "iargo" by
Handel to the brilliant sextet from "Lu-
ciau and the stately march from "Tann =
haeuser", the organ was put through its
paces greatly to the satisfaction of the au-
dience.
Miss Giles was at her best. Her selec-
tions were in harmony with the occasion
and were most artisticaily rendered
After her first group OF songs, she re-
sponded to hearty encore with Nevins
Glossary, which she sang with intense
