Fifteen months ago a man. who is known as Jacob Hart, died in Ohio, leaving nn estate of considerable value to be divided among his brothers and sisters, whose whereabouts were unkuown. After a dill-gent search the executor of the estate found a family of Harts living near whose brother, Jacob Hart, hud gone to Ohio 'many years ago. since when all trace of him had been lost, and he was thought to be dead. No evidence seemed lacking to prove that the Harts of Hcndorsvilio were the rightful heirs of Ihe man who died In Ohio, and in due time the money was divided among them.

Special Telegram 10 The TIMES. West Chester, April 5. John Feiron, the Democratic member of the Hoard of County Commissioners, is a good deal iu the public eye, as it rebuts to Chester county people, aud all because of his having proved himself honest, capable and trustworthy In the affairs associated with his office. His term of official duty will expire on the first Monday In January next, and there Is a good deal of quiet talk being indulged in concerning the practicability of an effort looking to his being renominated and elected to a second term. This Is because of his having tatken a positive stand at the outset of his term between official profligacy and the taxpayers, and while he has made but llirle progress In his work of reform, the failure has been from no fault of his, but solely because of his being the weak end of the official board when votes came to be counted two to one, being a decided majority In favor of the machine or Republican side of the situation.

Prominent Democrats admit that Mr. Ferron deserves a second term, hut they shake their heads ominously, meaning that the candidates for place are too many and the plums too few in Chester county to make it a safe proposition to champion at this time.

lu your Issue of the liilii Instant a special telegram from Scranton said that "Henry (iriUin died on March ti- Jvithout having had any medical attention and a tJatoper's, jury to-day rendered a verdict holding (leorgiannn Crittln, bis wife; Mrs. Ruth Hopewell, his daughter, and II. N. McKee. a Christian Science practitioner, responsible for his death." Willi all due respect for the Coroner aud his jury.

It seeiLs to me that this verdict was most unjust and uncalled for. From the statement of Mrs. llrlllin given to the public, it appears that her husband was taken 111 some weeks before and had been under the constant care of physicians; that his right to have whatever treatment he pleased had never' been denied or luter-fcrd with; that about a week before li died, while still under the care of physicians, he was stricken down with paralysis; that he said he thought Ihe medicine he had taken was responsible for this condition and he would take no uioie of It, and he then requested the care of Christian Science. This decision of the patent precluded the right of anybody to Interfere. Mr.

(irlftiu had the (Jotl-glven, as well as the constitutional, right to have such rent -nicnt. or none at all. as he pleased. Ibirlng the few days that he was under Christian Science treatment he bad the services of a skilled practitioner of Christian Science and au experienced nurse, and he received In his own home every cure and attention that a loving wife aud daughter could give him. It seems then that Mr.

lirltllu had been under the care of physicians of his own selection and grew steadily worse until Ills disease culminated iu paralysis, which Is usually regarded by physicians us Incurable, and when be became helpless he gave up medical treatment that had tailed to heal hnn and took to Christian Science treatment. To have permitted medical treatment during those few days of helplessness would have beeu not only useless, but a breach of duty to husband and father. Christian do not claim the ability to heal every case. A large proportion of the cases that come to them, however, are of the so-called Incurable kind, aud of these they do heal fully per cent. There Is not the slightest reason to believe that Mr.

Orlffln's life could have been prolonged a single moment or that he could nave been made more comfortable by any other human treatment. Thousands of deaths are taking place all around us. In this city alone over 2H.00O deaths tnke place every year, all presumably under medical treatment, and yet all ot this vast army of the dead aie buried without a Coroner's Impiest and without adverse ouostious or criticism of any kind. Why this unfair discrimination: To me It soeuis grossly unjust, cruel, In fact, to herald all over our broad laud the occasional death of. a patient under Christian Science treatment Invariably of bis own selection, that no human power could prevent, nnd denounce and threaten with arrest as guilty of criminal negligence good men and women whose only offense Is a illingness, mhen requested, 'to step Into the breach and faithfully strive to ameliorate and heal through the' Christ power, liod, cases of disease that medical treat incut has failed to heal.
