Modern Methods Have Been Fully Tested and Approved The People Rushing to Specialists or Treatment They Want to Bo In Shape for the Suminer Season Sow Is tho Time to Start In on the Work. The grand rush of people to the offices of Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers during the past week has shown that now tint the spring is at hand, those who have been suf fering with catauhal tioubles durtne the winter, and who have been hesitating to assume a regular course of treatment be cause of the cold weather, have determined to rid themselves of their disease, in order to enjoy tho new life of the year and the delights of summer free from pain, snffcring and tho inltatious and annoyances of catarrh. It was the Red Letter week of the year! Bundled of patients eniolled themselves lor treatment, nnd joined the glad aimyof enthusiasts who never tiro leneatinz the praises of jjis. Copeland, Hall and Byers. Pittsburg is falling into line with other gieal metropolitan cities in the matter of encouraging medical specialists. The busi ness plan and tho prolesional methods of Drs. Copeland, Hall aud Byeis recommend their treatment to all. and it is no wonder that everyone is availing himself of the op poitunity toioceive the best treatment at the most reasonable teims. The familv phvsiclan will not ticat a case of catairh irhe can avoid it. If he attempts it at all it is only to givo it up. Tho work is left to the patient, persistent and skillful effoitof the speclalist.who makes a business 01 taking in liana tne woist case 01 caiarrn, involving all the fatal and malignant symp toms and effects, and n orking an effectual cuic. Tho locomotive has .supplanted tho stage coach: tho electric car has given a long- needed rest to inulo power, and the teio graph, telephone and electric light have superseded old methods of communication and illumination. Just so has the specialist taken tho place of the family physician in the tieatment of special disoidera. This is especially true In tho matter of ca tarrh. Tho specialist has at pi esent com mand of the entire field in tho treatment of this disease. Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers have a rep utation for skill and ability in the treat ment of their specialties second to none in tho country. They can and do cure all forms of catarrh, and their work has chal lenged tho attention of every one inter ested. They practico the latest scientific forms of treatment, which aie mild and painless, a conffort to the patient, and asouiccofde light, as piOTCSsive treatment brings in creased lelief, TI10 statements published from week to week, given voluntarily by grateful patients, show what can ho done with the worst cases. The lighter forms of the disease are, ot rourse, easily cuied, Tho success of Drs. Copeland, Hall and Eveis has been simply maivclous. Tho wondeiful inciPHse in the number ot patients is the stionzest tcstimonv to tho ability of theSo physicians. They neod no other, ir these do not convince, nothing can. Sow that all can get out or doors and take a regular course of tieatment, there should bo no one willing to suffer longer with ca tarrh when a positive euro is insmed through the skill, ability and experience of those noted specialists, combined with faithful compliance on the part or tho patient. nchieve with each case of catarih thatcomes under then caie. The success does not rest upon the use of any specific or patented ar ticle, or appliance, Dut on the regular tieat ment of n pliyslcian, for that is tho only way that cat.mli can bo successfully handled. This is another feature of the Copeland sys tem, and it is tho secret of the popular suc cess of Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byors. They havo studied tho dlsoase until they have ob tained a scientific mastery of it. Those who aio affected by this terrible malady can do no better than to place them selves nnder tho treatment and care of Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers. Treatment by Mali. The svatcm of mail treatment pursued bv Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers guarantees the same effective lesults to thoso who de slieto submit their cases thiongh cone spondencbas to those who come in person.

A LITTLE TALK. A Good Thing Between People Who Do Business Together Some Popular Feat ures and the Explanation of Them Ar guments That Cannot Bat Convince Those Concsrned. It is a good thing for people who do busi ness with each other to have a little talk oc casionally. We want to havo a little talk with tho public to-day. Every week is pub lished In these columns a number of Inter esting statements. Thoy are made by people who have been patients of Di s. Copeland, Hall and Bfers. The portraits of these patients accompany tho statements. Tho piesentation of portraits with testimonials is a leatuio of the Copeland method, and whilo it lias ueen copiea extensively by tho manufacturers of patent medicines nnd quack n ostiums, it can havoforco only when the persons who aie thus piescnted nio known to tho readers. This is the strongest testimony that can bo given as to the tiuth fulness ot n statement. Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers present flesh testimonials with every week. They do not make a chance euro and then adver tise it, but they make cuios constantly and without number. The statements furnished by patients are not obtained tiomthetnhy favor or as a condition of treatmont, but aro given gratefully and gratuitously. Theso testimonials mustcount ior-.omething, since they ai e steady and reliable. This week two are given of such variable ages (little Marie Smith aged 5 and Mr. Thomas Carson aged 71) that they are ot more than usual Interest, They provo that chtairh Is not confined to any term of years, and that Drs.

Those who aro interested should then le member that by the popular plan Inaugu rated and successfully earned out by Drs.

Interesting and important are the cases of catairh, In its various forms and stages, as shown in tho typical cases following. Ca tarrh is a most insidious disease, and tho forms under which it nppearsre so vari ous and so little understood even with the disease as common as it is that a word of description is given. Catarrh of the nose, causing frontal headache (more commonly know n as nouralela), a sense of dullness or drowsiness, dizziness, confusion of thoughts, etc. Catarrh of tho thioat, bron chial tubes and lungs, causing soio thioat, cough, hoarseness or entire loss of voice, bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, etc. Catarrh of the stomach (more commonly called dys pepsia), causing indizestion, heaitburn, water brash, nausea, fetid breath, palpita tion of tho heart, shortness of bieath, etc. Catarrh of the bladder with its long list of symptoms, causing diabetes, Bright's dis ease, etc. Catarrh ot the bowels, causinz al ternate dianhea and constipation, piles, etc.. in fact, catairh affects moio or less all the mucous surfaces ot tho entile body, causinz at times seveie local, neuralgic or lheumatic pains.

MEDICINES FURNISHED FREE. my8 This week the musical season of 1891-2 will come to a brilliant close in the three festival concerts at Old City Hall given by the Mozart Club with the assistance of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and eminent soloists. Although the programmes do not meet Pittsburg's peculiar needs as they should, there can be no question bnt that this series of concerts stands upon an ar tistic plane as exalted as that of any musi cal events we have ever had here. On Thursday evening Conductor Arthur Kikisch and his peerless orchestra (every where admitted to be the, best in America and, perhaps, unsurpassed in Europe) will play Goldmark's "Eustic Wedding" sym phony, Berlioz's "Benvenuto Cellini" over ture and Wagner's "Lohengrin" prelude and "Huldigung's "March." Mr. Eugen D'Albort, one of the two or three greatest living pianists, will play Chopin's E minor concerto, beveral violoncello pieces will be given by Mr. Alwin Schroeder, the fam ous Leipzig artist, who has never been heard Here. On Friday evening the orchestra is down for Saint-Saens' symphonic poem, "The Spinning-Wheel of Oraphale" and Weber's "Oberon" overture. Mr. Georg Henschcl, who conducted the Boston Orchestra during its first three years and h lamous all over the world as singer, composer and conduc tor, will sing Wolfram's romanze from tpe second act of "Tannhaeuser," Loewe's "Erl-King" and Schumann's "Grenadiers." Part II of the programme will be occupied by Niels Gade's strong cantata, "Zion," given by Mr. E. H. Dermitt, our own ad mired baritone, the Mozart Club chorus (the best Pittsburg has had) and the or chestra, with Mr. James P. McCollum con ducting. Saturday evening is devoted to Mendels sohn's oratorio, "Elijah," given by chorus and orchestra, tinder Mr. McCollum's baton, and these soloists: Mrs. Georg Henschel, soprano, a worthy mate for her famous hus band; Miss Adelaide Forseraan, contralto, whose merits are as well known here as in the Eastern musical centers; Mr. Paul Zim merman, Pittsburg's best-known tenor, and Mr. Gardner Larason, the Boston bass, whose singing in the role of Elijah, has won high praise Irom the fastidious .New Eng land critics. The standing of "Elijah" among the great oratorios has been thus summarized by a programme writer: "Musical critics disa gree in regard to the comparative merits of Mendelssohn's two oratorios. While many claim lor 'St. Paul' excellencies not found in 'Elijah,' the latter is unmistakably the most popular, as evinced by its fre quent perlormance U all the great fes tivals in Europe and America. It is shorter and more dramatic than Handel's 'Mes siah,' less theological than Spohr's 'Last Judgment,' and less didactic than the wondrous 'Passion Music' of Bach. Thus, while the subject matter of 'Elijah' is full of the most stirring incidents, its artistic form is sufficiently brief to rivet the atten tion of even an uncultivated audience from the first recitative down to the last chorus." Music lovers in this region seem to real ize that a music feast of the very first quali ty and ot quite sulhcient quantity is here offered, even though it has not been trumpeted in advance in just the manner usually adopted ior a "May Music Festi val." The Mozart Club is Pittsburg's most valuable musical institution, and it is Holden, the stage manager, and-Mr. Frank J. Possiel, who led the "Persian Army" drill, are each entitled to superlative praise. Among the principals, Miss Edith Harris as SMormlh, and Mr. Morris Stevens as Zerubbabcl, bad much the most arduous roles', and earned most hearty commendation lor the musical and histrionic art with which they made much out of such poor material. Miss Elise Warren, the foreign " star, " was curiously misplaced as NitocrU, role that gave very little opportunity for the display of her exceptionally fine soprano and vocal skill. Mrs. J. Sharp McDonald, as Antonia, and Mr. Weeden, as Btlihazzar, did all that could be asked with their respective parts. The numerous subordinate charac ters were much better cast than is usual. Altogether the perlormance was a great surprise. The knowing ones "went to scoff and stayed to pray" and to ask why was all this wasted on such a piece and, since Pittsburg possesses so much operatic talant, why should we not hear it again in something worth doing?

It means an immeasurable amount of innocent pleasure to thousands of people. Two things of genuine importance to the cause of music for the masses have bs.cn ac complished bv the Allegheny effort thus far. One is that the city has been committed to the support of the concerts and has added a "City Organist" (the first office of the kind in the country, perhaps) to its salary list. The other great point is that the p'eople's ear has been gained, so that hundreds of them turn naturally toward music as a means of recreation and over crowd the roomy hall every week. This is vital. But while giving all due honor to those who have accomplished thus much, the question will keep recurring: "When are these musical entertainments to become in fact as in name organ recitals, where the people can hear tbe legitimate music of the instrument played in legitimate style." Until this comes about, the so-called "free organ recitals," however pleasant and profitable irom this or that point of view, cannot truthfully be said to be realizing the intent with which that fine instrument was built for the city. Nor will they, until then, give the people the particular kind of pleasure they have the right to look for there. ' A Fine Amateur Performance. Mr. Butterfield's cantata "Belshazzar," is a combination of driveling, imbecile lines and sugary, mawkish music that should be ashamed to show its face outside ot the remote country districts for whose "singing school" entertainments it was manifestly concocted. Aside from the responsibility for choosing such a piece, so much the more credit is due to all those who helped to make out ot it one ot the most eiicctive amateur pro ductions ever seen on any stage. The per formance was really remarkable in its scenic splendor, its dramatic effectiveness and the smoothness that told of infinite pains at rehearsal. It was far above the average of amateur shows, even where worthy subject matter is presented. For "these great get-eral excellences, Mr. W. a Weeden, who trained the chorus and sang the title role; Mr. C. M. Couch, who conducted the performance; Mr. F, E. Crotchets and Quavers.

It also evidences tho exceeding attractive ness of tho roception to Mr. and Mrs. Geoig Henschcl. set lor Monday, May 16. which ap plicants formemuershlp up to next Wednes day will be privileged to attend. That re ception, tho society's ono hundred and seventv-nlntli. bids fair to be one of tho most brilliant musico-social events that Pittsburg has known. The case of the United States versus TJ. B. Lowe was concluded yesterday, the de fendant being found guilty as indicted and recommended to the mercy of tbe Court. At the opening of the District Court yes terday morning, ex-Congressman Brainard argued the law in the case, and held to the position he took in his motion to quash the indictment. He3 held that the letter in question of itself contained nothing con trary to the law, and that the Government could not go outside of the charges in the indictment and seek to show something out side of the letter. After he had concluded, Judge Buffington held the indictment was sufficient, and instructed counsel to go to the jury. Ex-Senator Allen addressed the Jury in behalf of the defendant District Attorney Lyon followed for the Government. These two speeches consumed all of the morning session and in the afternoon Judge Buff ington charged the jury. At 4 o'clock the jury retired and returned with their ver dict. This was the most important case yet tried this term and there was much interest manifested in the Judge's charge. While it was being delivered the court room was well filled with spectators, including many prom inent citizens and officials. Judge Bafllngton'j Chare;?. His Honor's charge was a clear, clean-cut statement of tbe law bearing on the case. It was rather brief, but plain, to the point and entirely void of partiality for one side or the other. After reviewing the testi mony, he said to the jury: It will bo for you to examine the testi mony or all the witnesses and consider the Interests or eaoh one. You have a right to consider the appearance or the various wit nesses on the stand, as to whether their testi mony was given to yon in that candid man ner that indicates truthfulness. You mar consider also the confessions of the defendant to Marshal Barring. A man cannot bo misled by an officer. It is his duty to inform a prisoner that any confession ho may make will be used against him. Yon mav consider the confessions of Mr. Lowe and satisfy yourselves as to whether they were made because of a candid belier or gnilt or whether his mind was in a state of confusion. You also have the handwriting of tho de fendant, and have a right to compare it with the other alleged handwritineof his nnd otner papers admitted in evidence. You must give the defendant the benefit of any doubts that may arise. Takinz tho case in all its phases you must consider the weizht of the testimony as to the truth and veracity of tho witnesses. If yon are satis fled tnat tho defendant old devise this schomo and placed or caused to be placed in the postoffico this paper in question; if your -minds can rest with positivoncss tipon the conclusion that he is guilty. It is your duty to convict. The Defendant Gets the Benefit, iron the other hand your minds aro not at rest, so that yon can have a full conscious ness of doing yonr whole duty by the defen dant and the Government, it would be your duty to give the defendant the benefit of this doubt. Counsel for the defense has asked me to in struct yon on the following po nts: First The investization of the jury must be confined to the specific- charge set forth in the Indictment; that the devising of a scheme to defraud Clark Sweatland by means of getting np a correspondence through the postofilce department and exe cuting tbe Bald scheme by sending the letter set forth in the indictment thronzh the United States mail. That point Is affirmed. Secrmd--The defendant cannot bo con victed" or any other ace or offense than that clmrxea in the indictment. The averments in the Indictment limit the Government in what it has a right to ask acainst tho de fendant in this case. That point is affirmed and further: your inquiry Is confined to the charge in tho indictment. " Yon have noth ing to do with an indictment incidentally brought out in the trial. Third The letter set forth in tho indict ment is not unlawful upon the face of it. and is such n letter as the defendant or any person would havo the right to send thronzh the mail. Tho defendant would have the right to send the letter through the mails nnless the jury should find from the evi dence it was part of a scheme to defraud, as set forth in the general charge. As thus qualified tho point is affirmed. F6urth The languaze of the letter set forth in the Indictment must be interpreted In its ordinary sense. Thero Is no presump tion to he drawn nnder tho law against the defendant from the languaze used, but every presumption must be losolvcd bvtheinrv in favor of the innocence of the defendant in the absence of pioper averments of tho crimo and proof of the averments beyond a reasonable doubt. This point is affirmed. Looking for a Hidden Meaning. Fifth That the indictment contains no averment on the part of the Government that the said letter set forth in the indict ment or any part of it means any different than what appears npon the face of it under the ordinary-interpretation or the languaze and terms employed. The indictment aver ring that "The said U. B. Lowe pretending in tho said letter that the said 17. B. Lone could furnish to tho said Clailc Sweatland spurious and counterfeit money notes com monly called greenbacks; that being tho teal objoct of him, the said U. B. Lowe, and this pretenso falsely mado in said letter.'' etc.. we are of tho opinion that the indict mont contains averments that the letter means something different from what ap pear on the face of It, and tbereforo decline to affirm this point. Sixth That tho absence or nn averment by the Government In the indictment that the language and terms in the letter mean cometbinz unlowrul and criminal, the Gov ernment has no rizht to ask tho jury to find that tho letter or lanzuazo and terms used, mean anything different from what It states UDonthe face or it For tho reasons set rorth in the rofnal or the preceding point, we decline td affirm this point. Interpreted by Common Sense. Seventh The Government having railed to charge in the indictment that any special meanipgor Interpretation is tobeziven to the language and terms used in the letter, must bo held to concede that tho language used Is not susceptible to any special Inter pretation or unlawful meaning, but must be content that the lotter be interpreted according to the ordi nary meaning of the languaze and terms used. For the same reasons set forth In the refusal or the fifth point. w declino to af firm this point. It is trne that the letter is to be Interpreted according to tho ordinary meaning or tho langulgo and torms used, bnt tho Inry aro not bound to say that the letter has no other meaning than the words in their ordinary meaning. They may further lnqutio whether as statedin tho gen oral charge, the letter was part of a schemo to defrnud. Eighth That under this indictment nnd the proor submitted on tho part of the Gov ernment.the defendant cannot be convicted and should bo acquitted. This point we de cline to nfllrm. Undor the indictment proo's nnd instructions or the point, tile question of the guilt or innocence of tho defendant must be passed upon by tho jury. Mr. Allen stated there would be a motion made next week for a new trial. its work yesterday, the remainder of tht cases on the list two in number being: certified into the Circuit Court, which opens to-morrow with Judge Achesoa on the benoh. Jndge Bufiington went to Phila delphia la?t night to remain until Wednes day. Among the most important cases to be tried before Judge Acheson are those of Theodore Myler and William H. Dili. TEARS IN C0DRT. Lewis Van Honten Is Sentenced to the Peni tentiary for Three Tears and HI Mother and Sisters Weep Ha Promises to Be a Belter Citizen. Lewis Van Houten, who pleaded guilty to forging an affidavit to a pension claim, wa taken before Judge Buffington yesterday for sentence. When asked what he had to say, Van Houten said he knew he would have to go to the penitentiary, but it was his first offense, and done partly through ignorance. When he got out he intended to return to his home and try to live as a better citizen. He would ask the Court to be as lenient with him as possible. Judge Buffington said that the case was not one that apparently deserved leniency. The crime had been done deliberately, and the prisoner had taken advantage of the Government, which was then partially sup porting members of his family. When ha concluded Judge Buffington sentenced Van Houten to pay a fine of 5100 and undergo' three years' imprisonment in the Western Penitentiary. The scene was made doleful by the tears and weeping of Van Houten's mother aud sisters, who were in the court room. The claim of Van Honten against tha Government was a genuine one, Tout ho forced his mother aud sisters to sign affi davits which altered the date of his birth so as to enable him to secure four years more pension as a soldier's orphan. CIO0NAH WANTS A NEW TBIAL. A Jury Stays Out All Night, but Falls to Agree. In the Criminal Court yesterday the jury in thecaseofLowry J. Bender, tried for perjury on information of ex-Alderman Doughty, returned a verdict of not guilty, but placed the costs on Bender. The jury in the case of John Jenkins, Jr., who was tried for felonious assault on a girl Darned Huey, wai out all night and reported at noon yesterday that they could not agree.
