the Dynamiters of This
Country Guilty Of
THE CASTLE EXPLOSION.
Very Few Believe the Havoc Was
Wrought by Ordinary Gas.
SHROUDED IX DEEP MYSTERY YET.
McCarthyite Organ Declares It Is the
Work of a Blackguard.
TORIES WILL HAKE CAPITAL OF IT
LOXDOX, Jan. 1. The Globe, -which for
more than 60 years supported the Xiberal
party, but which since 1S66 has been a
stanch Conservatite organ, to-day says
that the explosion yesterday at Dublin
Castle was of malicious origin. Possibly
Ford, Sullivan & Co. deem it necessary to
stimulate the generosity of the American
Irish iu behalf of the cause.
"There are men in the United States,"
the Globe declares, "who would not think
twice of blowing up Dublin Castle if that
appeared to be the most likely means of fill
ing their pockets -with dollars. The authori
ties should take all these facts into con
sideration, and should not be in a hurry to
attribute the outrage to a lunatic.
Americans a Bloodthirsty Kacr.
There are many professional da-miters
in the United States who would jump at the
chance of a lucrative job.
The St James Gazette, an independent
supporter of the Conservative party, says
that, although there is no doubt that O'Don
ovan Eossa will assume the credit of insti
gating the explosion, it seems unlikely that
the affair was the result of a political t)lot.
A cable dispatch from Dublin says: The
Erjirctt (Independent Conservative) admits
it is impossible to attribute political mo
th es to the affair 2vot long ago an ex
plosion would have been a good investment
and oul-! have brought dollars from
America: but since that time that style of
warfare has ceased to pay. The persons who
were formerly engaged in dynamite politics
hae of recent years found their occupa
tions gone.
The Explosion Not an Accident.
The Xational Press, the organ of the Mc
Carthyite, savs it does not think the ex
plosion can be attributed to an accident. It
was undoubtedly the dUgraeeful and cow
ardly act of some blackguard, for which it
would be unjust to hold the Irish people re
sponsible. Xo doubt the Tories will try to make po
litical capital out of the explosion. They
would be very willing to sacrifice a few
panes of glass from the castle windows for
the sake of being furnished with an argu
ment against granting home rule to Ire
land. WELSH MINEKS LOCKED OUT,
A Conference Now in Progress, and Serious
Trouble Is Feared.
London, Jan. 1. Sometime since the
mine owners in South Vales announced to
the men that they had decided to do away
with the scale system, and that after Janu
ary 1 they would hire their men individu
ally. This was takcu by the men to mean
that there would be a material reduction in
wage-, and there vias consequently much
dissatisfaction.
The contracts under which the men were
working expired yesterday, and to-day 85,
000 miners in South Wales are idle. The
masters' action is virtually a lockout, and
the men have appointed delegates to wait
upon the mine owners to attempt to bring
about a settlement of the trouble. The
conference is now proceeding, but nothing
is known as yet as to what the outcome will
be. The most intense excitement prevails
in the neighborhood of the collieries, and it
i feared that there may be trouble unless
some arrangement is speedily arrived at.
A later dispatch says th'e South "Wales
Mining conference to-day satisfactorily
settled the slidins scale difficulty, and -work
will be resumed immediatelv.
YELLOW FEVER AND SMALLPOX.
Twin Scources of Unhappy Inhabitants of
Brazilian Coast Cities.
London, Jan. 1. Lord Salisbury re
ceived to-day a special cable dispatch from
Her Majesty's Consul at Santos, confirming
the recent alarming reports in regard to the
terrible state of affairs there growing out of
the ravages of combined yellow fever and
smallpox. Eighteen captains of merchant
vessels have died, cither from the black
vomit or smallpox, within two months.
On some vesel the entire ship's company,
officers and crew, have perished from these
sailors died in the streets, so
quickly fatal has been the disease. It is
estimated that at least two-thirds of the
cases have been fatal. The great majority
of the victims are emigrants and sailors. A
much greater mortality than is looked for
during the hot months of January and
February.
EUSSIAN FOOD ADULTERATIONS.
Even St.
Fetersbnrs's Mayor Implicated,
and Is to He 'Whitewashed.
St. Petersburg, Jan. L The municipal
scandal arising out of the recent purchase of
adulterated flour to regulate the price of
wheat in the St. Petersburg market and
afford relief to famine sufferers, has been the
subject of a vtormy debate in the Municipal
Council. Many members demanded the
resignation and the prosecution ot the
Mavor and the Purchasing Committee.
Ultimately, in spite of the strenuous
opposition of the minority, who declared
mat it was a half-measure intended to
facilitate the escape of the culprits, the
Council deluded to appoint a committee of
revision. The newspapers denounce this
decision, and urge that a judicial inquirv
be institutid.
THE DOVE OF PEACE
Spreads Its TTinRs at a New Year's Diplo
matic Reception at Paris.
PARIS, Jan. 1 Monsignor Fcrrara, the
Papal Nuncio here, on behalt of the diplo
mats, made a felicitous speech at President
Carnot's New Year's reception to-day. The
President responded to the .New Year's
greetings of the Pope's representative. He
hoped 1892 would be a year of peace, and
said that inits period France would devote
full efforts in aid ot economic interests and
social progress.
1'resident Carnot requested the diplomats
to reassure their Governments that the
policy of France was that of peace and
international concord.

Paris, Jan. 1. The Bishop of St. Brieue
to-day receivsd New Year greeting from the
V Municipal Councir, with which lie has "'for
S a lone time had strained relations. Cordially
shaking hands with the Mayor, the Bishop
said: "For some time past the question of
the separation of Church and State has been
in the air; but I, for one, favor union."
His remarks are considered important, as
an indication of a chance of attitude on. the
part of the Catholic Bishops.
500 CHRISTIANS KILLED.
Two Towns Burned at the Scene of the Mas
sacreChinese Insurgents Utterly De
moralizedThe Trouble in tho North
Apparently Over Threats of Looting.
London, Jan. 1. According to a private
letter received from Peking the number of
Christians killed in the uprising in Eastern
Mongolia was 500, while the rebels have
burned two towns near the scene of the mas
sacre. The insurgents in the district of
Fukien are now utterly demoralized. The
leaders have taken flight and concealed
themselves. Cbenkun, a prominent leader,
with his son, U attempting to make his way
to the coast.
JThe advices state that the trouble in the
North is apparently over, but as a matter of
fact no one knows definitely what has been
going on there.
At Bunhua, a short distance within the
walls east of Peking the American Metho
dists have a station and growing work. This
city, although it is a long distance from the
uprising, and protected by being inside the
wall, was much excited by the present
troubles, and there were threats of looting
the mission premises. Fearing he would be
unable to protect the missionaries, the
magistrate urged their departure to Tient
sin, which they took.
The London Mission Society has its rep
resentative, Mr. Parker, at work in the very
neighborhood where the uprising had its
origin, since which event no word has been
received from him, and anxiety is felt re
garding his fate. The rebels still hold Daku
as their headquarters.
A dispatch from Shanghai received to-day
states that, notwithstanding the punishment
recently inflicted by the Imperial troops
upon the Mongolian outlaws who committed
so many depredations in Manchuria, law
less bands are again marauding in the
northeastern part of China. It is reported
that these bauds have destroyed a number
of the temples in that section of China, but
no religious or political importance at
taches to the movement.
It is believed that it is not a preconcerted
rising against the Chinese authorities. In
fact, the dispatch of to-day says that the
matter is partly due to agrarian troubles,
the Mongols being land owners, and that
the ma-sutlers include a large number of
SI..T1 Tung farmers.
Li Hung Chang, the Chinese Viceroy, is
rcoi. ering from his recent illness. He is so
lar ronvalescent he is able to attend Gov
erm.ient business. He has, as in the recent
troubles assumed the direction and disposal
of the military forces, and is traveling to
stop the lawlessness, and, if possible, cap
ture the marauders.

A CHATTEE WITH BRIGHT SPECIALISTS
O the outsider,

belonging to the
life on the stage,

Perhaps there is no happier family than the
little army of people of both sexes, ot all
ages, conditions and tastes, whom Manager
Henderson has brought together in his great
spectacular production of "Sinbad." And,
why shouldn't it be heaven to them?
The whole life they live for several hours
is planned out by master specialists on the
most scientific principles, and when they
love, die, kill each other, or enact the

numerous passions of life, they do it in good
order, and with malice aforethought The
unexpected never happens on the "Sinbad"
stage, excepting when Eddie Foy perpe
trates a new joke, that is apt for a few min
utes to produce smiles or laughter when
the lines do not particularly call for either.
Not to go farther back in the history of
"Sinbad" than as it exists this week, it is
interesting note in it the various steps of
preparation and presentation.
Preparations for tho Coming Triumph.
If yon go into the theater some time be
fore the performance begins and go back on
the stage, you will find yourself, even are
you the prima donna, of very little moment.
The scene shifter, the electric light man
and their assistants are lords of the manor
just then. They are preparing the scene of
your triumph, building ships, hanging
skies, preparing thunder, piling up the fire
arms, and rushing backwards and forward in
the doing of it, but were you in the way you
would be remorselessly pushed into a
corner. This is the time to learn the tricks
of the trade.
The little economies that are practiced
for the purpose of lessening the loads of
scenery that a spectacular production must
carry are all ruthlessly displayed. The
splendid ship that sinks in the second act,
has its less noble side, and like Goldsmith's
"bed by night, a chest of drawers by-day,"
does double duty, and turns out to be only
a side of the Big ship on which the
first part of the act is enacted. You
can see the waves in the form of yards
and vards of green cloth, being rolled up
and laid under a long trap door on the
stage. The ocean is hanging up in the
flies. The ship stands in the wings
Ready for tho People to Arrive.
Everything is in order and the stage
manager looks confident and is read to
address the "people," who are now begin
ing to arrive. They don't take long to
rush to their rooms, undress and dress
again; this last being a rather airy condi
tion of clothing as the visitor of "Sinbad"
probably knows.
Then tney are out o; tncir rooms again,
talking to each other, wandering about wait
ing for the signal announcing that the cur
tain shortly will be rung up. The best
position now for a good view is close by the
stage manager just a place you can squeeze
into, near where he stands, a few feet from
the lootlights back in the wings. No price

has ever been laid on this place, but It is
worth all the rest of the house put together.
You can understand then that to be near
Manager Perry is to be quite favored.
From his point of vautage he keeps his
right eye on the stage and his left one on
the electric light manipulators, and it seems
as though with one side of his mouth he can
joke with the chorus girl, while with the
other he orders the "green," the "blue" or
whatever light it may be that he wishes.
Miss Mnlle Talks of Her Art.
The actor or actress is never too busy, nor
too enthusiastically concerned about'their
work, that they cannot find time for chatting.
Miss Ida Mulle, when she rushed off the
stage yesterday, grasped The Dispatch
representative by the hand and insisted
upon having a little gossip in the dressing
room. Between acts Miss Mulle was pre
paring one of the blonde wigs which she
wears as Sinctta, and, as she 'tugged away
vigorously at the tangles; with the famous
leg resting on another chair, she talked on
with eqiial vigor.
A disputed point in Pittsburg regarding
Miss Mulle's weight, she lays at rest for

ever by the assertion that -.she is
only 110 pounds, which is precisely
12 pounds less than her avoirdupois of a
year ago. If that doesn't make her thinner
than what she was a year ago, then Miss
Mnlle would like to know what will- For
the benefit of Miss Mulle's admirers and
are they not legion? it might be stated
that she is almost recovered from the injury
of several nights ago. The court plaster is
the most serious looking part of the gashes
now.
The secret of her rapid recovery, the
young lady said, was due to the fact that
she always limped a very great deal when
off the stage, so that she might trip
with her usual vivacity and grace when

on the stage and yet not overdo her
self. Nothing else limps about Miss Mulle
for her conversation and her ideas match a
running race together. She has only one
failing, but wears it so gracefully, that it
succeeds in bearing the aspect of a virtue.
She thinks newspaper writers are gifted
with enormous imaginative powers and
cursed with air infinitesimal capacity for
the recollection of facts, the result of one
such experience, which has greatly warped
her mental vision ever since of those in the
journalistic world.
Up In the Boxes Among the Flies.
Who would not envy one a private box
half way up to the flies, with Miss Frankie
Raymond for a companion. Miss Kaymond
rooms at the theater With Miss Irmler and
when that young lady was dancing, she
found herself and the writer a fine place for a
view. The young ladies are very good friends
and say all manner of kind things about
each other, both insisting that her friend
possesses that wonderful gift in woman of
being always the same. Thanks to Miss
Kaymond, Miss Irmler, who is but a
twelve-month in America, is rapidly be
coming proficient in the English tongue.
She has another spur to her ambition in
the promise of a young man connected with
the company to marry her when she be
comes a thorough English scholar. The
arrangement was made when Miss Irmler
was unable either to understand or speak a
word of English, so that it is donbtiul if
slie realizes her impending fate. Apropos
of her graceful figure, Miss Irmler's woman
admirers will be interested in knowing that
she does not wear corsets when she is
dancing, a something almost impossible to
conceive in seeing her beautifully fitting
bodice.

'Fired the Fatal Shot That Killed One
of the Baltimore's Tars,
AS DEVELOPED IN THE -INQUIRY.
'A legation Eefngee Turns the Tables tj
Arresting Ilia Spy.
TAKEEESBEAT TUB FRENCH 0AESMEN
Valparaiso, Dec. 2. The United States
gunboat Yorktown arrived here November
SO. She saluted the Chilean flag, and also
the admiral of the German squadron on
entering port. She anchored close to the
Baltimore, about a mile off shore. Her
commander, Captain Evans, intends to send
his men ashore on liberty within a few days,
but the Intendcnte will be requested first to
afford them police protection.
The United States cruiser Boston left
Montevideo several davs 020 and is ex
pected here within a week. It is supposed
that the Baltimore w ill be ordered to pro
ceed to San Francisco after the arrival of
the Boston. The Baltimore has not been on
a dry dock for a year, and. the dock in Val
paraiso is not large enough to accommodate
a ship of her tonnage.
Captain Schley had divers at work on the
Baltimore for over a month, and her bottom
was cleaned as well as it could be done that
way; but in knocking off the barnacles the
paint has also been taken off, and it is
necessary that the ship be painted before
the salt water has too great effect on her
steel sides.
Will be Doctored in San Francisco.
San Francisco is the most available port
in which to dock the Baltimore, and it is
supposed that she will arrive there about
the 1st of January.
There seems to be nothing here now to
indicate the necessity of having a large
American squadron in Chilean waters.
Owing to the pressure brought to bear by
the United States Government, the Chilean
authorities are making a more searching
investigation of the attack on the Balti
more's sailors. This investigation is still
in progress before the Judge of the Conrt of
Crimean Valparaiso. Captain Schley was
requested to send his men before
the court to give their testi
mony, and the condition wmen jie
imposed, that one of his officers attend the
proceedings and act as interpreter forthe
American sailors, was accepted. Lieu
tenant McCrea, of the Baltimore, who is
familiar with the Spanish language, has
been in constant attendance at the court.
Much Depends on the Wound's Nature.
The principal dispute has been over the
character of the wound received by Keg
gins, one of the victims. The Americans
have claimed that he was shot and killed by
a policeman, and the testimony of a comrade
named Johnson, who was with Keggins at
the time, shows that a policeman advanced
upon the men with a rifle in his hand and
fired at them twice. Keggins was then in
sensible from a knife wound and Johnson
was carrying him to a drug store. One ball
from the rifle passed throuch the collar of
Tnlincnn'a etiif nnri ontlrorl "R.POTnnS nenfc-
Johnson's shirt and entered Keggins' neck,
killinir him instantly. The shot was fired
at such close range that Johnson's shirt
was powder-burned.
The Chilean officials have claimed that
the appearance of Johnson's clothing indi
cated that the shot had been fired from a
revolver, while the police were only armed
with rifles and bayonet-swords.
Dr. Stitt, of the Baltimore, made some
experiments by firing at a piece of cloth at
close range with a rifle and a revolver.
A Police Itlfle Killed the Man.
Ihe-result was laid before the court- ye
terday, and the appearance of the cloth
which had been fired at with & rifle corre
sponded exactly with the appearance of
Johnson's clothing. Both Dr. White and
Dr. Stitt, of the Baltimore, described before
the court the character of the wound3 re
ceived by the men, and have showed that a
number of the wounds were made by the
bayonets carried by the police, and-the tes
timony of the men themselves shows that
the police did use that weapon, on them.
The Chilean Government has given no
intimation that it intends to release the
refugees or grant them safe conduct. An
incicnt occurred a Kv days ago which
shows with what zeal the refugees are being
watched. One of the men who had bepn
living in asylum at the American Xegation
for several months left there last week and
went to his home, which is only two doors
from the Legation. The spies around the
Legation discovered this, and, while they
made no immediate attempt to arrest him.
they blockaded his house to prevent his
escape.
The rtefagee Tarns tho Tables.
A few evenings ago he received a friendly
call from a member of the Chamber of the
Cabinet, who is a supporter of the present
Government. As the deputy was leaving
the house he was arrested by a spy in front
of the, door. The man informed him that he
was a spy and that he had orders to make
the arrest.
All the members of Congress in Chile are
exempt from arrest, and the deputy im
mediately retaliated by arresting the spy.
A half dozen other spies came to his assist
ance, and quite a disturbance arose, but the
deputy established his identity and gave
his prisoner in charge of a policeman, who
took him to the station, where what dis
position that was made of him is not known.
A few hours later the man who had left
his asylum at the legation requested Min
ister Egan to escort him back, but Minister
Egan notified him that he had left the lega
tion voluntarily and he was unable to
escort him back to it, as the right of
asylum did not extend that far.

Thanksgiving Day was observed by the
American sailors in Valparaiso isay by a
number of boat races and a dinner given
aboard the Baltimore to the competing
crews of the French men-of-war. The Bal
timore and three French vessels were the
only men-of-war in port at the time, and in
vitations were not extended to the Chilean
ships to take part in the races. At the in
vitation of Captain Schley the commanders
of the Cochrane and the Esmeralda and
several other Chilean naval officers went
aboard the Baltimore and witnessed the
races. The Americans won three races and
the' Frenchmen one. There were also a
number of games aboard the Baltimore, and
afterwards about 500 American and French
sailors had a Thanksgiving dinner in the
messroom.

HILL OUT, FLOWER IN.
POLITICS CAKEFOIXY SHUNNED AT
THE rXACGUKATIOX
No Pomp or Military Display, by the Ex
press Wish of the Now Governor Both
the Present and Past Executives Kept
Busy Shaking Hands.
Axbant, Jan. L This is the day on
which Koswell P. Flower assumed the func
tions of the Chief Executive, so longed
wielded by David B. Hill. The streets of old
Albany were alive with residents and out-of-town
sightseers as early as 9 o'clock to
day. The inaugural ceremonies were held
in the Assembly Chamber, which was gor
geously decorated with American flags,
bunting and potted plants. The chamber
and the galleries were filled to overflowing
long before the inaugural party arrived.
Governor Hill came over to the Execu
tive Chamber from the Mansion about 11
o'clock. Shortly before 12 o'clock the
Tenth Battalion," Burgess Corps, and the
Emmett Guards formed in front of the
Mansion, which was surrounded with peo
ple. They escorted the new Governor to
the CapitoL Mayor Manning, followed by
a committee of prominent Alabaniani,
acted as direct escort. Following the escort
were the civic societies, the famous Buf
faloes of this city, the Democratic Tigers,
the Queen City Democratic Legion of Buf
falo and delegations from other cities.
Mr. Flower and his honorary escort rode
in open barouches, Mayor Manning riding
with Governor Flower. The streets along
the line of raaroh were crowded, and on
many private residences the American flag
was generously displayed. The military
display, in accordance with Mr. Flower's
expressed, wish, was simple.
The procession stopped at the State street
entrance of the Capitol, where Mr. Flower
and the direct escort entered, being met by
his staff They proceeded to the Executive
Chamber, where they met Governor Hill
andstafl, who formally received Mr. Flower.
The party then proceeded to the Assembly
Chamber, where they were enthusiastically
received.
The assemblage was called to order by
Mayor Manning, Bishop Doane following
with prayer. At the conclusion of the
latter Governor Hill, in a brief speech, in
which any referencs to political questions
was carefully avoided, transferred the
duties of his office to Mr. Flower. Mr.
Flower responded in a brief and appropriate
speech, in which he made no promises, but
asked that he be judged by , his deeds rather
than his words.
Secretary of State Kice then administered
the oath of office to Mr. Flower and
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan. The in
augural party then returned to the Execu
tive Chamber, where a public reception
was held for oyer an hour, during which
both Governor Flower and ex-Governor
Hill were kept busy shaking hands with,
the immense crowd.
TWO BULLETS IK HIS BBAItf.
Doctors
Fnzzled by the Case
of a New
Hampshire Patient.
Hindge, N. H., Jan. 1. Lewis Hale,
who shot himself some weeks ago in the
head, is still alive and seemingly in the
best of health, much to the astonishment of
the doctors. Hale has two bullets in his
brain and the physicians say that this is the
first instance on record of a man living with
those unnecessary additions to his mental
equipment. Hale attempted suicide by
shooting and when found he was taken to
Holyoke, Mass., to be placed under the
care of competent physicians. There is no
doubt the two bullets are in his brain.
When he was found after the shooting
there were two holes in his head, one above
each eye, both undoubtedly caused by bul
lets. Brain oozed from both wounds, and
each was probed by the doctors some dis
tance into the brain, proving that the bul
lets had gone in. Hale has occasional pains
in his head and on the back of the skull
there is a protuberance which ,is claimed
did not exist before the shooting. Hale
says that except for the pains he feels as
well as ever, but the doctors have warned
him not to expose himself to the heat of
summer or to encounter any severe mental
excitement.

FED THB0UGH A TUBE.
It Was Inserted in the Stomach of a Man
Who Could Not Swallow.
DETKOIT, Jan. 1. Physicians at the
Emergency Hospital to-day announced that
they had performed a successful operation
of gastrotomy six weeks ago. They have
kept the operation secret in order to fully
satisfy themselves of its success. The pa
tient was Martin Heanenburg. Hennen
burg had in his throat an obstruction
which could not be passed by even a fine
tube, and he was slowly dying of starva
tion because he could not partake of the
food.
Gastrotomy was resorted to, and a tube
was inserteddirectly into the stomach, and
by this means nutriment was furnished.
The operation was entirely successful, and
the doctors have been able to feed Henncn
burg without trouble. The swelling in the
throat is being operated upon, and in two
weeks Hennenburg will be able to eat with
his month again. By means of the tube in
the present case the physicians have been
able to secure quantities of pure gastric
juice. Their experiments to ascertain its
action on various kinds of food and other
substances will be a valuable addition to
medieal knowledge.

The Method Proposed by an Enslneer for
Ascendins tho St. Lawrence.
OTTA'WA, Oxt., Jan. 1. Mr. H. G.
Ketchum, engineer of the Chignecto ship
railway, has submitted to the Government a
scheme by which he says vessels drawing
upward of 20 feet of water can be passed
through the present St. Lawrence canals
lrom Port Arthur to Quebec without deep
ening the canals or enlarging the locks,
thus obviating the expenditure of millions
of dollars of public money upon canal deep,
ening. He has outlined the plan in a paper
to be read belore the Society of Engineers.
Mr. Ketchum proposes that large vessels
be placed upon steel rafts and pontoons and
thus floated through the canals and over
mcr shallows, the vessel to be placed upon
the pontoons by means of hydraulic lilts
established at the entrance of each canal.
He says ?500,00 would piovide pontoons
nud lifts for all the existing canals; that
these lifts could be used as graving docks;
that little time would be lost in placing the
vessels upon the floats; and that the plan
has been successful elsewhere.

A
Move That Forever Settles the
Charg3 That the $5 Offer
Concealed a Scheme.
A Physician's Circular Letter and How Drt
Copeland, Hall and Byers Keply to It-
Action More JTorcible Than Words A
Bit of History.
Tho flve-dollnr rato which Drs. Copeland,
Hall and Byers Introduced for a stated
period created a genuine surprise, not only
among doctors and druggists, but amonj
newspaper readers generally. It was such
a radical departure from the big fees usually
charged by persons claiming to be special
Ists that at first it could hardly be under
stood by the public. Of conrse the rate was
not exceedingly profitable to the physicians
themselves, and in some cases, especially
those of patients out of the city, needing
special preparations or apparatus to snppiy
the place or oince
treitmcnt, it entailed a
spite of this, however.
positive loss. In
Drs. Copeland. nail and Byers lived up to
tho terms of their offer, and in no case was a
patient charged more than $5 a month for
medicines and treatment during the period
the offer covered.
Envions and less snccessful doctors looked
on at flist with incredulity.
"There U some trick about it," tbey said.
"They are going to get more money some
way. They cannot treat patients and fur
nish medicines at $5 a month."
But in spito of this warning, intelligent
newspaper fc leaders who had caretully
watched the career of Dr. Copeland and his
associates during the irany veais that they
have practiced medicine in tlttsbursr know
that there was no trick aboutit. They knew
that Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers re
lilouoly kept their promises to the public,
and the offer met with a cordial and almost
overwhelming response. Drs. Copeland,
Hall and Byers did what their enemies said
could not be done. They did it, not only for
one month, but for three consecutive
months. Then incredulity save place to
anger. Envious doctors realized that a tell
ing blow had been struck at the unreason
able system of heavy fees and expensive
prescriptions. After that a remark fre
quently made by discomfited physicians
was:
"Oh, true, they are simply doing that to
get a crowd of people. After they set all
the patients they want they will raise their
rates and make a lot of money."
One physician in another city, envious of
the success of Dr. Copeland and his associ
ates, went so far as to embody this remark
in a circular letter (written on a hektograph)
which ho mailed to all the names ho could
got.
Well, we are prepared to show the weak
ness or this method of attack just as clearly
as we have shown tho weakness of other at
tacks from a similar source. Wo are going
to renew tnat offer to all patients who can
come to the office for treatment and medi
cines in fact, for a 11 cases wherein tho rate
doos not entail a positive loss to us. Out-of-town
patients will Do charged only, in addi
tion to this rate, the actual wholesale cost of
whatever special preparations or appliances
they may need. To local patients we will
maintain the rate of $5 a month
for ail medicines and treatment for the
diseases for tho remainder of tho winter
months, January and February. We believe
this thoroughly demonstrates what we have
been attempting to show, that patients can
be skillfully, thoroughly and successfully
treated at one-fourth, yes, one-tenth tho
cost charged by many who claim to be
specialists.
Permanently Located.
There is one other remaik that has been
made which calls for a very direct and very
forcible answer. The reduction of the rate to
$5 a month up to a specified date gave rise to
a remark from a curtain source, something
like this:
"Ob! they are going to take in all the
money they can up to that date, and then
close their office and leave tho town."
Let It be clearly and distinctly stated that
Dr. Copeland and his associates never closed
an office; their location here is permanent,
their leases and contracts are for a term of
years, they are here to stay nnd less success
ful physicians need not delude themselves
with the hope that they are going to leave
the city; they are- permanently located in
Pittsburg and will permanently Rive skill
ful, thorough and scientific treatment to all
at low and uniform rates. Let there be no
misunderstanding about this.
Oldest in the Country.
The physicians in this office represent an
individual practice of 25 years a quarter of
a century in Pittsburg nine years of which
their names have been advertised in tho
daily papers of this city. They represent
the oldest firm of specialists in their line,
now in active practice anywhere In the
United States. They stand ready at any
time to prove these assertions.
