rPrEClAI. TELEGBAM TO TOE DISrATCrM
2Tew York, Jan. 16. One clnb in
the National League has placed, itself
on record as regards Sunday sanies. Pres
ident John B. Dav, of the New
York club, has vrntten to C. H. Byrn
of the League Schedule Committee, that
the Giants will under r.o circumstances
play any championship or exhibition games
n the Kast or West on the Sabbath. Ac
cordingly Mr. Ryrne will take this matter
into consideration while drawing up the
tchedule of games (or ill? coming season.
Just what the Brooklyn club will do in
the matter is a mystery. Mr. Byrne re
fused to say yesterday whether his club
would play on Sundays in the West or not,
but he hinted that anything might be possi
ble. Still, it is thought that the Brooklyn
club will follow in the footsteps of the
Xcw York club. The Bo-ton club has come
out flatfooted against Sunday ball, and the
Philadelphia, Chicago and Cleveland club3
lought against the idea at the Indianapolis
meeting, and are cf the i-ainc opinion,now.
They Drpeml on i-rcmlays.
Baltimore and "Washington have always
been dependent upon Sunday games in- the
past, and will undoubtedly play thera in St.
"Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, hut not Pitts
burg. St. Louis and Louisiilio were out
spoken in behalf of these games at Indian
apol's, and would not consent to accept
franchises in the new League until this
privilege was granted. John T. Brush
favors nlaying on Sunday for the Cincin
nati club, both at home and abroad, while
Pittsburg inav take a turn at it in St. Louis,
Louisville and Cincinnati, at any rate, and
po-iibly at home if the law will allow it.
From this it will be seen that the League
is nearly evenly divided in the matter, Bos
ton, Brooklyn (probably), New York, Phil
adelphia, Cleveland aud Chicago being
against it, while St Louis, Louisville,
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Baltimore and Wash
ington are in favor of Snndav playing.
These games in St. Louis, Louisville and
Cincinnati will prove a great financial as
Fistance to tlioc clubs, as it has been proven
more than once in the past.
Some persons have nn idea that the League
in its recent settlement with the Associa
tion merely laid the wires to work a grand
lrtezmg out game for St. Louis Louisville,
Baltimore and ATashingtou, and that the
first evidence of it would crop out when the
League schedule should be taade public.
Aim Get What Ihrj Ask.
But it is stated on ofliei.-.l authority that
these Jour clubs will receive all they ask of
the Schedule Committee, and possibly more
than they deserve when it is considered that
they arc new corners and ordinarily would
l.sie to stand aside r big clubs like
Boston, New York, Brooklyn and Chicago.
Some of the best dates will be given to these
oid Association clubs, and there'll be little
or no dissatisfaction from that quarter.
From present appearances theLeague sea
son will open about April 7, and will close
on October 10, consisting of 154 games di
vided into two series oi 77 games each. The
winners oi the two series will play at the
close of the season another short series ot,
fay, 11 games for the League and the
world's championship. In this way a club
that falls behind during the month of April,
?!ay and Jane will still have a chance for
finsi honors by taking hij.Ii rdacis during
July, August and September. The "Western
clubs will be in the East probably on Dec
oration Day and Labor Day, and the East
ern clubs will plcy in the "West on July 4.

AFTEK BIG GAHE.
The rittsburg Football Train Want
to
Tackle the American-Canadians.
Tlie inanv admirers and snnporters of
Association football will be glad to
ltarn that although the Pittsburg Tootball
Cub cannot for some reason or other, not
known to the local otlicials, get on a m.itch
with the Chicago Thistle team, the s:vcalled
champions of the West, there is a strong
possibility of a match with the American
Canadian team, now ictnrning from a
lengthened tour of Great Britain.
Such a match would cause the utmost en
thusiasm and attract the largest cuowd ever
Feen at A lootb.li match in this section.
Pieident Fred Good-vyn and Secietary

greatest inducements will be held out lor
the famous American-Canadians to visit
Pittsburg and give our local champions a
game.

TWO GOOD FIGHTS ON.
Jack 31c Aollffs to Meet Hilly Slyer March S
fora 810,000 I'urnc-Plenty or Outside
Slonej MMicr and Choynski Hatched
for a Good Sam.
Hew Yoiik, Jau. 1C For some days past It
looked as though Captain Frank Williams,
the representative or tllo Olympic Club, of
New Orleans, had come North on a useless
errand. Charley -Mitchell refused to meet
Jim Corbett for n purse of $12 003, and his
sparring partner, Frank Slavin. also de
clined the tempting offer of $15,000
to meet Corbett Then ho offered a
$10,000 pmse between Corbett and Peter
Maher. but Coibett properly iefued
to meet Maher on the grounds that the latter
ha'l never fought a first-class man. .n
$S,0K purse was then offered for a battle be
twecn Corbett and Bob Fitzslnimons, but
oibett ici.sed to meet a middle-weight.
Then a $7,500 purse was offered for a fight bo
tween Fitzsimmonsand Maher, but "Fits'.
declined to meet Maher, considering him a
"second rater." The next move was to offer
an $S,000 purse for a battle between Fitzsini--mont-
and Jimmy Carroll, of Brooklyn, who
Is now preparing to go over to England to
meet Ted Pritchard.'the champion ot that
country. "Fit," however, refused to meet
Carroll, and in conscqucnc" thereof was
dropped by the New OrLrans Club.
The Captain's next offer wnsn $10,000 purse
font light between MalicrandJoeChoynski,
the clever California heavy weight. Madden
could not make the tnatcfi without the con
sent of Mr. S ipe, of Dublin. So Arthur Lum
!ey telegraphed to Mr. s-ago. While' await
ing an answer he hunted up Jack MeAuliffe,
whom he found in coropanv with Jnrk
Dempsey. He made him an offer of a $10,000
purse to fight Billy Mver. the Streator
cyclone, wlm once fought a 73-round draw
with -cAulfffe. He succeeded to-dav In
getting MeAuliffe to slim articles to ficht
Mver March 2, for a $10,000 purse, to weigh In
at' the ring side ut HO pounds, the winner to
rabnalL MeAuliffe als-j agrees to bet from
$5,W9 to $10,000 on the outside. Mver has
mauy admirers throughout the country, and
it is' more than likely that the stake money
will more than double the amount of the
purse.
Tlie Captain received more good news
about 7 o'clock in the crpnint. ns Mr. Lum-
iey rrchel the following cnblesram from
h.v-e, dared Dublin: "Am satisfied if Madden
i." This means that the fight between
Maher and Joe Choynski will surely take
place.
THE rOOXEAlL PLAYEES.
New Cast:e Clnb lrcentcd With the Ten-
nant and a Good Report Read.
A meeting of the local football leagno was
held last evetinr. Tno New Castle club was
presented with the pennant- Secretary
Macpherson submitted an interesting re
port, pointing out that the league had been
a financial success. Among things he t-nid:
"A noteworthy feature of the entire com
petition was the remarkably close games
and small scores which took place duiing
the season. From tho record it will be seen
that New Castle, who won the pennant, only
scored 16 goals and lost 8 in eight cuu'es (tho
remaining two game they won bv forfeit),
giving an average of 2 goals lo 1 for each
game. Homestead, however, heat the record
for taking part in closely contested games,
and during the s-aon never had more than
1 goal -cored ucainst them in any game,
while only on one occasion did they score
more than 1 themselves This makes the
dispute which took place about the middle
of tho season all the more regrernbls,as it
would Do almost impossible to find a league
anywhero where the clubs were all so evenly
balanced."'

rsrvCTAL Tltt.XORAM TO TIIF. OtSPAaT.Tt.'
Beaver, Pa., Jan. 16. The nil-absorbing
topic of conversation on the streets
here, and in fact in all the principal towns
of the Beaver Valley, is the coming suit
of Senator M. S. Quay against the pro
prietors of the Daily Star, the only Demo
cratic paper in Beaver county, for criminal
libel, and which will come up for trial be
fore His Honor, Judge "Wickham, in the
Beaver courts Monday, January 18.
The trial promises to be one of the most
important ever held in this section. Rep
resentatives from all the leading journals
in the United States will be present, and
rooms have been engaged in the hotels here
for a number of illustrious personages in
political life. Both sides are ready and
anxious for the frav.
For the pro-.ecution Senator Quay has re
tained John M. Buchanan, Seward Thomp
son and Itankin Martin. The other side
have Ed. B. Dougherty, L. W. Beed and
llobert Bichie. The attorneys are the
flavor of the legal iraternity of the Beaver
county bar, and all arc Democrats, with one
exception, Rankin Martin.
The Star people have continued to at
tack the junior Senator with a reck
lessness that is truly amazing.
An editorial published to-day closes
with quotations from the charges
made by the JJcw York World and Tost
against Mr. Quay and reviles him for not
suinf: those papers for libsL
It is said that Mr. Quay's attorneys will
endeavor to use the editorials published to
day in evidence at the trial to prove malice
on the part of the defendants and that the
attorneys for the defense are highly indig
nant at the star Jor giving utterance to such
virulent language just at this time.

It was an honest physician a physician in
regular practice, and a frank, sincere kind
of a man, who, during a visit to Dr. Cope
land recently, made uso of a remark which
was. something like this:
"Doctor, voir will pardon me If I say that
there Is only one criticism that I can pass
upon your way of doing business, mere is
onlvnno thtntr that I fin not understand.
As I take It, von make clear and distinct
claims; vou state that you cure certain dis
eases. Now, I cannot understand how von
can do this. To tell vou the honest truth, I
donot feel sure that'I can enre anything."
The speaker in this case was entirely hon
est. He was a well-educated phvsicinn, in
fact wns n classmate of Dr. Copeland years
hgo. and has devoted many years of his life
to general practice, and stands eminently
M-ell in the community in which he practices.
In spite of his assertion of hisonn lack of
confidence in himseir he is successful as a
practitioner. He was entirely honest In tho
remark above quoted, and he was ju3t as
honest when a few minutes later during the
conversation he :iid:
"Doctor, the fact nbont It is that a man
cannot he a general practitioner anylonger.
Developments in medicine and surgery in
tho last ten years liuve come upon us so
thick and fitst that :i man cannot cover tho
field; he cannot keen tin with all tba't i.-rnew
and nse'nl and wonderful and effective in
relieving sufferimr. He has got to ben spe
cialist. In order to know what he Is doing,
and to b effective in his own work, he has
got to confine himself to certain special lines
oi practice.
Thero had our friend hit the truth,
hit it squarely and fairly, nnd in that re
mark had our friend explained his first re
mark, and his lacs of confidence in him
self.
The man whose work must cover the
wholo rango of disease to which the flesh is
heir, and the whole compass of the theory
and practice of medicine to-day can well s ly
that ho does not feel as if he could curo any
thing. The man who confines his work to certain
special lines of practice to which he devotes
his time and his efforts, his training and his
intelligence for all his life,
Has a Bight to Say,
Speaking from his experience, speaking
from his knowledge of diseases, and sneak
ing from the results to which he can point
with pardonable pride:
"I can cure these diseases: I know whereof
"I speak; I have .given ray life to the treat
ment of these diseases: I understand them;
Iknowhow to cure them: let the results of
my work speak for themselves In this com
munity." This is the position of thoroughly trained,
experienced and successful specialists,
There is no deception; thcro Is no boasting;
there is no untruthfulness about it. When
Dr. Copeland and his associates say:
"We cure catarrh and kindred troubles;
we do cure It every day, nnd no have been
curing it for years in our practice," they are
saying what they know is true: what tho
testimony of hundreds of reputablo citlzcus
in the community In which they practice
s ty is true.
They do curo the trouble in their special
ties, and the reason that they are able to
cure them and are able to speak with such
confidence is, that they devoto their lives to
thorn, and by study, practice and experience,
understand how to he successful in them.
We believe that criticisms are often passed
npon the rtalms of specialists which are
honest ones. Wo believe that tho criticism
with which this article opens is an honest
and fair-minded one. but we believe that it
is based npon an erroneous conception ot
the work and the skill and the success of
genuine specialists.
Xow, just a word in conclusion of nn en
tirely personal nature. There are doctors
and doctors. There are specialists and spe
cialists. , ,
In tho first place, two-third of tho men
claiming to be doctors in the country are
'o Doctors at AH,
Have no legitimate claim to the title. "
A fair proportion of them havo not a legit
imate diploma of any kind. A still larger
proportion nre of:: class, that is aptly de
scribed by.the following language from a re
cent medical publication:
"A boy gets tired of farm or workshop,
packs bis trunk and hies awav to nmii
cheap medical college for ten months, conies
back and is ready to practice medicine.
Kach year 3 000 so-called 'doctors' are turned
loose to practice their Ignorance on the pub
lic.
It is useless to enlarge upon the criminal
looseness which envelopes the rerfuiremeuts
of medical practice in this country.
There are doctors ttnd doctors; there are
specialists and specialists; and of the" spe
cialists a large proportion are no doctors at
nil.
It is useless as well to enlarge upon the
amount of humbug with which thp name
specialist had been clouded within the ln.t
tew years, but we have this to say as well
forself-protectlonas well as the protection
of the public. 9
Dr. Copelnnd nnd associates, after moie
than the usual time spent in the best medl
eal colleges in' the country, after an ex
tended experience and training in hospital
practice, after years of special work, -tudy
and experience in tho lines of their special
ties, have franklyand honestly otlered their
services to the public, have mado and sub
stantiated their claims, have proved their

Writes: 'Tor the past three years I have
suffered from a catarrhal tronDle. which tho
best doctors and a trip to the Springs failed

"I was unfortunate enough to take 'La

much norse'withmy bead and chest,'' con
tinued Mr. Aston.
"My nostrils wereciogzed npso with ca
tarrhal secretfons and swellings that I could,
notbreathe through them. Ibis occasioned
violent neuralsic pains over my forehead
and through mv temples, which almost
blinded me. My chest felt as if held In a
vise all the time una I had constant pains
shooting through to the shoulder blade on
each side.
"My breathing was so oppressed that I
conld not inflate my lnnirs to the full extent.
In the morning I wa3 all stopped up as if I
had been breathing the foul nir of the mines
all night. Although my appetite was good,
what I ate did not seem to do me any good,
as I lost flesh rapidly and was fast going
into decline. After treating a short timo
with I)r3. Copeland, Hall and Byers I can
conscientiously say that my trouble is all
gone. I feel young again and have more Ufa
than I have had foryears.
"I have recommended quite a number of
the workmen under my supervision to theso
skillful gentlemen, and they are all, without
a single exception, improving as rapidly as
I did."
