It is a long time since tliera was such excitement among col lege athletes as there is now. The sole cause is the diiierences anions the athletes of Harvard, Yale and Princeton. There is . .. to snmo ovtonr -i nrsiprr :,s lo w Hat t he outcome will lie, but the general icelin: that harmony will be restored. Unfortunately the project ol arranging j the dates for the series of baseball games between Yale. Harvard and Princeton lias been abandoned. At the secret meeting held between Yale and Princeton, in New York, Princeton submitted the dates May 21 and June 11 for the games between that college and Yale, the Srstgamc to be played at Xew Haen and the latter at Princeton. Manager Franklin submitted these dates to the Yale lacultv, and yesterday afternoon viiote the Princeton management that those dates would be accepted. Princeton de sired to arrange lour games instead ot two, but Yale declined. Yale will meet Harvard soon, though the date and place are not settled. Four games will be arranged, as usual. A rumor is current about the Yale campus to the effect that Yale and Princeton had pledged themseKcs to adopt a rule whereby any special student shall not play on the nine unless he has been in college a year, and that these colleges will rcluse to play Har vard unless she agrees to this clause. If adopted, the above rule will disqualify Highlands, whom Clarkson, of Boston, has prououncod the most promising collegiate pitcher. The Yale management is corresponding with Henry Gruher, who has pitched lor the Cleveland League nine the past three ears, with a view to engaging him as trainer of the candidate for the pitcher's J.osition.

The Boston President Tell How ths Kelly S alter Mands Just Now. President Temple received a letter from President toden, ot tile Boston club, yester day telatn e to the Kelly matter. Tne letter was to tile effect that two moie clubs had made application for Kefs release and that nothing definite will be done until the ec: edule meeting ot'the League Mr Soden Uso stated that the. Boston club may retain Kelly as theie is a desire to keep him t.ieic. At any rate, the Boston I'resKient sas Kell can best be disposed of when the matter is fully discussed by the l epi-ese.it; lues of the vaiious clubs at the ochedule meeting. The above indicates that there is still hope, though a small ore. of Kelly's cominsr here. Between now and the meeting re tried to the officials of the local club will do all thev can to help the proposed deal to a consummation. The vast majority of local Satronsol the game are wishlul to have elly here and as the local club has suffered some biltei disappointments alieady it may be that the League m-.gna'es will have a little commieratioi in this instance. It certamli would b to Boston's advanUce lo release Kelly to Pittsburg if he is to beie leased at all. PLENTY OF PLAYERS. Over 200 Bi"Il Tosscis App'y for Places in tho Western League. Chicago.

MW COAL 'REGIONS. Pittsburg and Philadelphia Capital Buy Virgin Territory. RAILROADS TO HE CONSTRUCTED. H. Winans, the Aped Church Officer L'urglar, Gets Five Years. NEWSY SOTES PROM NEARBY TOWNS TSPECtAL TEt-ECnAM TO TIIE DISrATCH 1 Steuiiexville, Jan SO. It was de veloped here to-day that a syndicate of 'Pittsburg and Philadelphia capitalists had purchased some of the most valuable coal territory hereabouts. For fame timethere have been rumors of coal leases being made iu this vicinity, but no one appeared to be in a position to speak positively on the matter. From several sources which may be considered reliable it may now be stated that an era of large and extensive coal de velopment in this vicinity is promised. It has been known that there are rich de posits of coal underlying the King's Creek hills, Hancock county, W. Va., and along Cross Creek about the confluence of Mcln tyre Creek, this county. These have re mained undeveloped from the lack of rail road facilities for handling the product. This is now to be obviated by the construc tion ot branch roads leading from the New Cumberland Branch aud the main line of the Panhandle. A syndicate has been formed by some' of the principal operators along the Panhandle, among whom are AV. P. Itend, J. F. Stein, and Logan. Gregg & Co., of Pittsburg: the Bishop Uidgeway Company of Philadelphia; 1'red. Greiner, of Pittsburg, and others. These have se cured options on the lands referred to. Several branches similar to that of the Chartiers Valley Coal llailroad are pro jected. The men who compose the syndicate are among the largest operators in the country, aiid are well able to offer such in ducements as will carry the project to suc cessful consummation. Its value to this city will be large. The city even now reaps the benefit of the Cadiz Junction tunnel constmction, andw.ouldbo at even greater advantage with the construction within ten miles of its limits. It is estimated that 4,f00 miners will he employed after these mines are opened. The lands pmchased are estimated to be worth $509,WO. Engineer Wilson, of Pitts burg, made the preliminary survey.

A perusal of tho moituary reports si pub lished fiom week to week in a 1 tre large cities shows an appalling increatfiof deaths ! fiurlng this winter over the seme period in 1S"L What is the caue of ii? I. a Grippe. Throughout the countrv ti-e mortality bus bpen remirkabli larse. It is i p-c ..let tin: the press, usinily -on-dtive to the eruptions of the silent lorce- that wotk tor the weal or woe of a co'umunlty, has been Insensible to the devastating effects 6f this dread dis ease. The Jeflerson City (Jlo.j 7Vibui. the lend ing Journal of the Mate capital, uhtch makes a point of studying clo-ely the wel fare and pio.;re.s3 of the State, notes. In a, lecent issue, the planning piealence of this disease, and makes the follo:ng com ment thereon: 'The grim reaper, I'eath, has been busy in Missnnri fn,-iv,0inif ,r. , .l., . s-nr... intitiou of our exchanrellst. which embraces some oO cities mid ovcrlCO towns in the State, shows n death rate that has certain not been equaled in many vears. and probably never betoie, unless it was during the pie vaience of the Asiatic cholera. Jinny of the deaths uie charged to la grippe, either directly or indirectly. It seems :hat this stiango disease is- unusualii fatal In cases where a vwtini is suffering from some other ailment, audit is nequently mistaken for some other disease. A Universal bconrge. The New York World recently published a six-column article entitled "Ii: Grip's Bond age: the Meictle-s Diea'e Holds the World in Its Grasp," hfch contained a review of the appearance of li grippe three years ago. and its ravages since. A long toll of victims, of high nnd low position, was presented there n, and it was show n that this form of illness had swept the entile globe, penetiat ing to the uttermost conieis or the earth. The grip lias attacked every part of the woild. In Home it has invaded the College of Cardinals, the death of Cardinal Simeon! n few days since being clue to it: all over J upper Jiaiy in population is suiiering anu yielding huudieds to the irnivevards. Schools aie closed and hospitals crowded. In France, north and sonth, eity-and coun trv. and even nmomr the cloistied orders. 'the grip is Killing the people. In Copen hagen, Denmaik. the grip has nsunied "ap palling proportions."' In Germany it has laired furiously. In Belgium it is on the In crease, and the death rate is heavy. In Switzerland much suffering exists. In Al geria the death rate is thr'.co the normal. In Turkey scat eely a family has been unvlsited by the affliction. Famine in Russia kills not so many as the grip, and in the vast donmin of Asiatic empires, in the countries nnd colonies of Africa, and in China, tho uni versal scourge is killing people d.fily. Crazed by La Grippe. The local instance or Officer William Cre han. who became suddenly insane while pa trolling ills beat, is still fresh in tho public mind and confirms the truth of the asser tion that in the guise of a harmless cold it insidiously strikes at the vital points and at tacks tlie debilitated with the force of a vital contagion. Good AdIce. The practico of Dis. Copeland, Hall nnd Byeis has given themabmidant opportunity to study this disease in all its phases, as it comes under the head of one ot their spe cialties. From its first appearance In this: country they have been thoroughly tamiliar with it from their practice, and have mis tered its details and needs. They aie capa blo not only of preventing it, but of curing it when it lias once fastened its clutches. Nearly every case of la grippe lcav os a systemic c.itarihal condition, which, unless it is tlioioughly nnd completely cured, renders the patient very liablo to chronic bronchitis, wliioh invariably leads to con sumption. The iieqiicncy with which dread pneumonia follows an attack of Ia grippe, and eitner terminates fatally or peima- nenlly weakens tho constitution of the vic tim, lias cieated general alarm, and la grippe is now looked upon ns a very serious mat ter. Among other complications which may lollnwthis disease may be. mentioned in humation ol tho middle ear (causing catairh.it deafness), broncjiial pneumonia and weakened condition of the eyes. It is a matter of gratification to Drs. Cope laud, U.'ll andBjers that their patients havo largely resisted the attacks of this dis-c-ise. This 'is due, no doubt, to the superior condition of the system, brought about by following a a svstcmatic and lational course of tieatment. Persons attackctl liy la grippe, or those suffering Irom a catarrhal condition should place themselves at once in charge of a thorough specialist. GRATEFUL PATIENTS. Sincere and Heartfelt Statements From Well-Known 'People The Good. That Sclenco and Skill Accomplishes. In seeing patients who have been tteated bv Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byeis, the re porter is often eniDarrassed by the enthusi astic praise that tho quondam nuffeier showers upon the physicians and the fndis criminating manner in which he speaks or the details of his ailment and the cure of rected. He seems to be sodelighted over his pi esent happy condition that he can utter nothing hut expressions of irratitude and praise, and he sums up the sufferings of rhe past in ireneinl terms decidedly unsatisfac tory to tho one who Is alter particulars. Such a patjent is Mr. Corrclius Buckley, of 24Oveihill stieet, this city, nis condition when he went to Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers is probably best described in his own words: "My trouble dates back nbout 20 years, when 1 was working in a grain elevator, the dust, coupled with colds, brought on a case of chronic ratanh. I had pains in my head, my nose would stop, one side then the other. There was a constant dischaigo of mucus into no tlnoat, c msing mo to hawk and spit neaily all tho time. This would leave my throat in asoroai.d raw condition. I had a bad cough, which caused mo considerable pain. My e-irs were Involved, ami I had a roaring and buzzing that nearly set me wild. My hearing became drilled. I had seveie pains in my chest. Mv whole system De came involved by the disensi . My appetite was variable". Sometimes 1 could eat a good meal, and at other times I would have a dis gust tor tood. My sleep was ietles, and I would get up in the morning uurefrcslied and had no ambition. "I was in this condition when I called o.i Dis. Copeland, Hall A Bvers and placed uij self Under then treatment. This was sev eral months ago and the result nils been that they have made a new man oime. rue catarrhal symptoms are tut- di-appeariug and I feel as tnough Hie was worth living. Drs. Copeland.

Partial or ComplM Ieafnss OfiPri the R su I at Cntrrli4l Cnnccition and In llsminntion" A Local Instance. To jive an illustration of what can be ac complished by the modern method of tre.it- ! ment of catarrhal troubles. Dr-. Copelnnd, I Ilall and Bvers republish an interview itli Mr. John Cunavan. who lives at Jones" lane. Mt. Washington. Mr. Camivan is a mill worker, and gives his story inhis-own woida tli-s. way: - 'I had been troubled ror five years and more with catarrh. My ears, no-e, threat, lungs and stomach weie arlected. Every spring I would he taken down with a peli ol sickness Irom my chest trouble. 1 oat flesh and strength lapidly. My trouble came on in the usual way a bad cold neg lected until it became a chronic catarrh. The pjins in ni head were at times aluiiisc I unendurable. MV nose Mould stop up and my tin oat would be rilled with iniieus.iind 1 would hni e to linsk and -pit all day long. The disease did not only anVcl my head, v-mm iNu iOOo Q.t-hvy fypua 040M but it went to my stomach. My appetite failed me and I was srradually becoming a wreck ofniv rormerself. The most distress ing part or my trouble thousrh was my hearing. Mviett ear became affected and grew so bad that the hearing was almost totally destroyed. Within the last few months the right ear began to grow painful and discharge, and the hearing became gradually impaired: so much so that I had to give up mv regular work and goon as extra J list whenever i. nasaole to attend to my duties. "I had read mnch of the success of Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers, and after think ing the matter over I decided to call on them and see w hat conld be done for me. I have taken their treatment sevenil months. and thedischaige of tho right ear has en tirely subsided. 3Iy hearing Is very much improved: in fact, is"ne.irly as good "us over it was. My geneial health is wonderfully improved, and lam increasing in .strength and health daily. lamable to lesume my usual work, and perform all the duties' re quired of me. All this I owe to the superior ireatment.that I teceived Trom Drs, Cope land, Hall and Byers. It gives me pleasure to recommend them, for I reel satisfied that what they have done for me they can do lor others." A very little study of anatomy will show the reader that the juncture of the back passage of the nose and tipper part of the tnroat is connecteu witn tne ear oy a minute and delicate passage known as the Eusta chian tube. Along this tube the catarrhal process extends, producing congestion and inflammation. By the turther extension or this process to the mucous lining or the tympanum or the ear is caused, in ome cases, slight rormsorcatarih or the middle ear, and in this way partial, or complete deafness is produced. Partial or complete deaftiess may in like manner result from the swollen thickened tissue encroaching upon the month of the Eiistacnian tnoe. Parti. il or complete deafness mav result from catarrhal interterenee with the nasal breathing, depriving the ear ot a proper sup ply or pure air, or fiom the effects of obstruc tion in the nasal passages, causing undue rarificatioii or condensation of the air in the middle ear. In such cases as these, eeneral remedies which are orten prescribed piovc compara tively ineffectual. A cure can only be ob tained by skillful and scientific local treat ment. WHAT CATAKItn IS. A Letter From a Patient Freely and Folly Answered Through the Press. Among th.e many letters received by Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers during the past rew days we take one inquiring what catarrh is and what portions of the body it affects. Many people labor under tho mistaken idea tkat catarrh means simpl3" a discharge from the nostrils, witli a Jiawkingund spit ting of mucus; but to I lie observing physician who makes a specialty or the disease the word catarrh means more. Experience bas taught him thats-atarrh Is by no means con fined to the head alone, but chat tile entire system Is frequently affected by.it. Thus wo have: Catarrh of the nose, causing frontal head ache more commonly known as neuralgia), a sense of dullness or drowsiness, dizziness, confusion or thoughts, etc. Catarrh or the throat, bronchial tnbes and lungs, causing sine throat, cough, hoarse ness or entire loss of voice, bronchitis, asthma, pneiiuioni i, etc. Catarihof the stomach (more commonly called dySDepslaj.caiisiiigiudige'stion, heart burn, water brash, nausea, fetid ureath, palpitation or fluttering or the heart, short Viess oT breath, ere. latarrh of the bladder, with its lonzlist of symptoms, causing diabetes, Hright's Dis ease, etc. Catarrh or the bowels, causing alternate diarrhoea, and constipition, piles, etc. In tact catarrh affects uiory or less ail the mucus surfaces of the entire body, causing at timos severe local or ncimlnic or rheu matic patns. So when wo ate asked fas we often arc bv patients) whether we tie.it other diseases as well as catarrh, wc answer yes.
