FD.NXT IXCIDEXT3 AXD ODD HODERKS Private Sampson was more than fond of trout fisbinc, writes Lieutenant F. P. Fre mont, of the U. S. S., in a letter to The Dispatch. It was his first summer in Montana, and as the command was out re pairing the bridges on a road that led through the wildest part of the BoeVy Mountains, he had ample opportunity to fish as often and as long an he chose. The road wound along through a succession of dee) canyons, trom which the mountains rose abruptly, covered with pine and tam arack, and cold, deep torrents abounded. On Saturday the command went into camp early, and Private Sampson deter mined to spend the afternoon at his favor ite sport; so he caught a tobacco bag full of grasshoppers, and cutting a pole to suit his ideas, he was soon hauling out trout that weighed two pounds and more. The time passed away in this pleasant A Surprised Fisherman. fashion, and just as Sampson's mind was made up to go home he caught sight of a great pine tree that had been blown down and was Iving with its top in the water; just the place to hook a monster trout, as anr fisherman knows. He had been fishing up a deep and rapid mountain torrent, the banks of which were thickly grown with brambles and service berry bushes, among which he had to thread his way, his rod in one hand and his heavy string of fish in the other. Pushing along to the great tree, he climbed up on itVith much scrambling and noise, holding on as best he could, for he was close to the bank and the stream was boiling, and both hands were full. Just as he rose upright, something else rose up also, on the other side close to the tree an immense she bear, her cubs beside her. There was no time to hesitate: to run was impossible, and she was coming toward him growling wickedly. With all his strength he threw his heavy string of trout in her angry face; the next instant there was a tremendous splash and Private Sampson had disappeared in the torrent. When he emerced some distance down, there in the pine tree sat the crowling bear intently watching the hole where he had gone in. I assure you he did not eo back to inform her he was not there, but made for camp. A Kuttfc Convert, Online.! "Yon Van't ketch nothin' with them thar things, With yarn lor bodies an' feathers fer wings, 1 on mut think trout is terrible fools Tcr be ketched with such outlandish tools.

A collection of the oldest fishe of the world is now being prepared for exhibition at the National Museum, Washington, writes Pere Bache in an exchange. They were dug out of the rocks recently at Can yon City, Col. Great scientific interest has been aroused bv the discovery, because they are at least 100,000 years more ancient than anycreatures with backbones ever found be fore. Thev come from the sedimentary de posits laid down by water in the distant epoch called the Silurian. No vertebrate animals had been obtained previously be low the upper Silurian. These are from the lower silurian, and some notion of the dif ference of time mav be got from the fact that the two "horizons" are separated in the Appalachian region by 20,000 feet of sediment Where these fishes were found was once a laud beach on the western shore ot a vast interior sea, which I extended eastward from the Kockv Moun- other known fish and "the hustler" im tains and covered a large part of the conti- j proves by having some lager beer mixed nent Geologists wandering through that region, so prolific of treasures in the shape of fossils, came upon the deposits accident ally The line ot the ancient beach is still visible, although it is overlaid bv sedimen tarv rocks of subsequent iormation. They made exca'x ations with pickax and blast, petting out a great quantity of material, which was brousht to Washington. Thirl y millions of years have perhaps elapsed since the creatures thus dug out were liv- ms. It must have been a strange world in which thev had their being so tar back in the night of time. Even the reptiles which flourished and attained such gigantic dimen sions at a later period did not yet exist. The only vertebrates were fishes. These fishes of the lower Silurian were all small the diminutive types of the great fishes which swarmed in the waters during a later period, which has been called the age of fishes. They were clad in armor, being coverd with plates of bone instead of scales. Their skeletons were composed whollv of cartilage, like those of the sharks of to-dav, which themselves represent an enormously ancient finny pattern. Under the microscope it is possible to see the structure of the bone which composed the plates. In similar armor was the huce and lerocious dinichthys, as well as other marine monsters of a subsequent epoch, dressed. Besides the fishes many invertebrate ani mals were found in these same deposits. . There were innumerable boring worms, and it is very interesting to see the actual holes which they made so long ago in fragments of the rock. There were trilobites also queer crustaceans which were the ancestors ot modern lobsters and crabs. Mollusks were there in plenty, too, of a species known as the "lingula," somewhat resembling clams. Millions upon millions of years ago they were good to eat. At the present-time the lingulu are very plentiful in Chesa peake Bay. Of these ancient creatures they alone have survived; the others are all ex tinct. Together with the fossils above de scribed were discovered ever so many speci mens of the orthoceras, a mollusk resembling the chambered nautilus, but having s straight shell Instead of a spiral one. Above the deposits Vhich formed the grave of the animals mentioned a coral reef subse quently was built by industrious polyps. Ths FUhlnj Season. Columbul Dispatch.!

Perhaps not one of the reader's friends will believe the story here related, for many who have heard it reported by men whose word for truthfulness is nndonbted are still unbelievers. Nevertheless it comes from a Simon Pure Presbvterian minister says the Tourist The incident occurred in Yates county; on the beautiful Lake Kewka, which extends from Penn Yan on the north to Hammondsport on the south, a distance of22 miles. One bright, beautiful day a gentleman, his wife and little boy were row ing on the placid waters of the lake. The little boy was seated near the end of tho boat, with his head extended over the edee of the boat, looking down into, the clear water. With almost the suddenness of a light ning's flash a large trout enme up and made a dart for the boy's face, catching him by the nose. Of course, the bov jerked his head back fas most boys would), and both boy and fish fell in the boat. The large teeth of the trout fastened in the boy's nose. Two years ago the writer saw the same per son, now a voting man, running on one of the steamers, and he carries the mark on his nose to this (lav. The boy was about 6 years old when this occurred. The fish weighed six pounds. Both the boy and the fish were photographed, and we suppose the picture can be seen there to-dav. Now, as the Tburixt has already hinted, it Is bare ly possible if anyone will believe the story, and yet it can be sustained by many of the best men in the community "where it oc curred. The Place or Fish. Writing trom Kinzua, a correspondent of the Warren Ledger gives the following: In the year 'SI, when this valley was vouneer, WltD game as abundant as hunter conld wish. The Indians had christened it "Kinzua," the meanine, In their tonsne, they said, was "Tho-Place-of-tlie-Fish. Better Than Snapping Turtle. "One dav I was fishing in the Alleghany and hooked what I thought was a big pickerel," says a Gothimite in the New York bun. "I had a lively tussle with it, . and at last landed it. I immediately wished I hadn't, for if I bad been rattled by the mud puppv on the Scioto I was clean knocked out by this specimen of Allegheny river denizens. It moved toward me and looked so fierce and threatening that I shinned up a wild cherry tree on the bank and yelled for a man who was fishing up the river 100 yards or so. While he was com ing in response to my call I took the meas ure of the object from my perch in the tree. It was two feet long, slate colored, and cov ered with dark brown spots. It had n. big, flat head, with a round snout, clear across tvhich was cut a mouth in a parabolic curve. It had a short pair of legs or flippers in front, with four toes or fingers on each, the outer one bordered with a curious looking fringe. The skin lav in folds on the sides like the skin of a rhinoceros. To set this interesting object off with creater effect it had a long tail, flat like a paddle. "By the time the man came along this strange creature was making its way back to the water. The man grabbed him and pulled him further out on shore. " 'Come down!', the man said to me. 'It's only a hell-bender, and is as gentle as a lamb. ' "I came down, and the man told me that the only remarkable thing about the hell bender besides its personal appearance was its appetite. The hell-bender's diet is snakes, lizards, worms, frogs, fish and craw fish. It is on record in the Alleeheny Val ley that a hell-bender has been known to eat a peck of crawfish at one meal and wanted more. The hell-bender alto eats part of itself every now and then. When it sheds its skin it swallows it with great relish, probably under the impression that it is a favorite snake or lizard. This one that I caught the man who rescued me from it knocked on the head, and said if I didn't want it he would take it home. "What for?" X exclaimed. " To eat, of course!' replied the man. 'They're better than snappin' turtlel' " Xinh for the Coke Region. The most extraordinary fish ever seen west of the Alleghemesare in the possession of J. Tinpman and D. McCarty, both liv ing near Connellsville. -They i call them "the hustler" and "the mugwump." Tipp man owns "the hustler," while McCarty "the mugwump." Both are hardy, active nsn ana ao wen in small or large streams. ThT Will It VP lanirPr rmt nF irttor ttinn nnw with his food. The gentlemen think if the streams in the Western part of Per-asvl- vania were stocked with these fish they would thrive better than any other., Many of the streams in the coke region's have a great deal of sulphur in them and ordinary fish do not thrive well in them.

New Baltimore and Ohio Shops nnd Yards, Adjacent to the Hnmhlrd Land and Im provement Company Lot, Cumberland, aid. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com pany, recognizing tne importance of Cum berland as a distributing point for the large territory lying around, and the further fict that Us location made It desirable ns the terminus of thiee or its divisions, namely, the second, third and Pittsbuig, proposed to the Mayor and City Council of Cumber land that in consideration bf the loan of $150,000, without interest, hy the city, the company would make Cumberland the end of the above divisions, and, in addition. wouiu pui ennse a large tract oi iana witnin the city limits, upon which they wonld erect machine shops and tound houses. The proposition was submitted to the voters of Cumberland on the, 17th of June last, and carried, by a majority, of four to one.showing that the people of Cumberland appreciated the vast importance of securing these im provements. The company hag purchased 90 acres of land, upon w hich will be erected their yai ds and shops. The Baltimme and Ohio propose to make Cumberland the Altoona of their road, and are constructing a yard that will contain trackase for 3,000 cars, which, in ad dition to the j ards already there, will gie the company splendid facilities for the handling of their immense traffic. Tho shops will he constructed alter an improved piau of the Pennsylvania Railroad shops at Altoona Pa., and will giveemplovmont to 1,200 men. The train and other railtoadmen, numbering at loast 1,000 additional, will nec essarily make their homes in Cumberland. Fiom these sources alone an increase of ponnlntion is confidently expected of 6,000 to 8,MX. It necessarily lollows that the ad dition of this population to Cumberland will brine others, ot all molesslons and trades. and It Is safe to predict- that the building boom during the yeais 1832 and 1803 will as sume immense proportions.

Thsu 7ERT PLAIN .TAIL The Case3 Which Usually Come Under the Observation of a Specialist, Old Chronio Disea3e3, Generally Considered Incurable. Dra. Copeland, Hall and Byers' Method of Treatment Superior to All Other . Known Methods Bead To-Day's Testimonials, Especially the Won derful Cure of Mrs. Gorman. It has no doubt often been said that while Drs. Copeland, Hall and Bj ors publish eich week cures accomplished they sty nothing of their failures. In this they only follow out tho usual American custom of putting their "best foot foiemost." That they have failures goes without saying, what phy sicians have nott They do not claim to cuie every case submitted to them, they do not claim tcbe infallible, but they do claim that the percentage of cuies under their method of treatment i greator than under any other known method. Treating as many patients as Drs. Cope land, Hall and Byers do, it is but natural that they should be subjected to adverse crit icism at times on tlie part of those who do not take time to consider tho giavity of the cases which come nnder their treatment. Come. let us leason together for a short time; It will do us nil good. In the first place, tho majority of cases coming under the treatment or D-s. Copeland, Hall nnd Tlpr nrrt nlil nliinnm rnes ?riven un as in curable by the family physician, who has exhausted hU skill and patience and pro scribed every article iu the materia medic.i over known ot for the cure or such diseases. Not only has the reaular family phy sicltn railed to work a cuie, but every phy sician for miles aronnd has been consnlted nnd failed; besides this the patient lias gone the rounds of .ill the patent medicines, etc , etc. The he comes to Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers, or whom he has heard and read so much, with the idea in his head that ir they cuie him at all It will he bv some spe cies or witoh craft, maic or voodooism. and that he ought to bo cured in a iew weeks or a month. Now, isn't it unreasonable to expect a cuie of a lone standing ailment, which- has for years baffled the bestphjsiciaps in your neighborhood, in so short a time? Truly It is. it was to cover just such cases that Drs. Copeland. Hall and li ers aTew months aso reduced their fees to $5 per month, medicine Included.1 Experience had taught them that these chi onic catarrhal affections, especially the ear complications, could not be cured any other way than by a thorough syste matic and continuous course of treatment. running through three or tour montns. They reasoned that if they could get enough pitients to stay with them through this pie tcrlbed course of treatment, they could afloid to tieat them for $5 a month and fur nish all necesstry medicine free, and cure such old chronic diseases as had baffled the skill or the family phvslcian, because the latter conld not afford to give the ptoper attention they requited. The laige measure of snecess met with by Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers proved the conectuess of their assumptions: and a talk with the largo ciowds that fill their offices trom morning till night will also prove that they do cute these old chronic affections. They perform no soiceiies and work no miracles. They surely cure the disposes of their speciilty, but it Is by patient, ptins taking, and continuous treatment, and un less patients aie willing to submit to a thorough nnd systematic course of treat ment thev might as well not begin, for they will only be wastlnir their money and time nnd injuring die hard-earned reputation of these pnysicians. SLOTVLT STARVING TO DEATH. This XXas the Condition of Mrs. Mary Uor nun Trevlons to Consulting Drs. Cope land, Hall and Byers Now She Is 'Well and Strong and Doing Household Work for a Famllyor light. "It almost benders on the miraculous the success Drs. Copelana, Hall and Byers had m my case," says Mrs. Mary Gorman, who lesides on Sawyer street. Eighteenth ward. "I had been troubled a long time with ter rible neuralgic pains in my head and face, ulcerated mouth and deranged stomach. The inside of my moutli was all covered with ulcois, my appetite was poor and I had not eaten any solid food for weeks before consulting them, on account ot my mouth and stomaoh. I vomited Mrs. Mary Gorman, Sawyer street, city. everything I ate, could not even retain beef tea or milk on my stomach. I was very much i educed in fiesh. Indeed, had It not been for the relief Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers afforded me, I would havo soon starved to death. "I could not lie down for the smothering sensation caused by tho accumulation of gas In my stomach and bowels. It also caused shortness of breath, palpitation and flutter ing or hcatt, cold hands and feet, etc., etc. I had to often walk tho floor all night belch ing up gns from my stomach. This would give me temporary relief until it would form auln. "I tried everything I could hear of, but found ho leliet. Reading three months ago of the lemarkable cure of Sirs. Lewis Zol linger, whose symptoms were identical with mine, excepting the mouth trouble, I deter mined to consult Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers, and place mself under their treat ment. I thought ns they had cmed her thev could at least afford me some lelief. My hopes were more than realized, ror to-day I am a well woman and doing the housework j for a family of eiht, wheie three months ago some uhu iuiu iu wnu uu me. iuu can not make this statement too strong, for the half has not been told, and cannot be realized. I will gladly toil any one who may call upon me what Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers have done for me." DTSPKI'SIAI A Favorite Term for All Diseases of Stom ach or Bow s. Dyspepsia, a name given to nearly all stomach and bowel tiottbles by old-time physicians, U really nothing mora nor less than a catairhal condition of these pirts, and is what Mis. Gorman was tioubled with. To a plij siciau whounderstands his anatomy and conectly applies his pathology, the symptoms which follow this affection are as easily read as his A, B, U's. Dyspepsia means bad digestion, nothing else, an I like charity, often covets a multitude or sins on the pal t of n physician, who, ignorant of a patient'!, trne condition, calls it dyspepsia, and thus the patient is satisfied. Physiology teaches that the numerous glands of the stomach throw out during the 24 hours 14 pints or gastric Juice, almost two gallons, with which -to digest the :ood we eat. n chionic caca'rrlioi the stomach, the mucous lining or which is continuous with that ot ti e nose and thioat, the secreting glands become diseased and depraved and do not fulfill their proper functions, hence the food lies heavy in the stomach and fer- mcnti instead of being digested. Foul gases arise theiefiom, which distend the stomach, causing weight, tightness, flatulence, bloat inic nnd discomfoit. The heart and lungs aro encroached upon by the diaphragm, whioh impedes their statural action, hence we have fluttering or palpitation, mid in consequence of distmbed ciicukulon and respiration, coldness of extremities, de pression of spirits (nervousness), feeble pulse, dizziness, shortness ot bieatb, hot and cold flashes, etc., etc Decoration Day Office Bonn.

"Some time ago Marie bad an'attack of the grip, which left her In very poor health," says Mrs. Smith. "She seemed always to have a very bad cold. Her nose was stopped ub on one side or the other all the time. There was also a profuse discharge from her nostrils, which necessitated the use of two or thiee bandkerchiofs a dav. "She was forced to breath almost entirely through her mouth. Her sleep at night was greatly disturbed. She was nervous, rest less and fietful, sometimes seeming hot and feverish and again cold and chilly. "Under Drs. Copeland, Hall and BverV care our little girl Is now well again.

"-Hardly a daypasses In which Drs.Copeland, Hall and Byers lire not brought In contact with one, two, three or more cases in the last stages of consumption, and many of them so affected with the disease that they are be yond relief, much less cure. ' The history of the majority of these cases is somewhat as follows: Some say that at Sometlmo on another they had measles, which Induced bronchial trouble and per sistent cough. Othefs say that at one time or another they contracted cold, followed b cough and expectora tion. - better . in summer, worse In winter, attended by a uradnal loss of flesh and strength. Others give a histoiy of la grippe, and say that since the diseane they hove been subject to cough and rising of mattery phlegm, shortness bf breath, grad ual Io-s of flesh and of strenath, and occa sional night sweats. Others again are un able to a ss inn anv cause lor their HI health, say their first symptoms were a slight cough, generally dry and backing, followed by the raising of a thin mncus, which In time became opaque and streaked With blood, at times wandoring pains In the upper portion or the chest and between the shoulders, dislike or fatty food, dyspeptic symptoms, gradual decline In flesh and strength. They tell ns that the family doc tpr in attendance asuied them it was only a little cold or bronchial trouble, or dyspep sia, or general debility, from which they would in time recover. When recovery or even improvement in these caes failed to show Itself and the Eatient had lost nearly a third In weight, ocamc pale and debilitated, the chest had lost either its power or expansion or con traction, the collarbone, rib and bones of the shoulder Joint became prominent, the night sweats profuse nnd weakening, the stomachsymptomsdistresslng.thccough per sistent and harassing, the mucus purulent, the voice hnsky. the flnsers clubbed -nd the mind abnormally hopeful, the family and friends realize the situation, the trne nature of the disease, call in another doctor experi enced In chest troubles, who pronunces it nn unmistakable case of consump tion. He assures the family that in that stage cmo is hopeless, and advises them to resign themselves to the inevitable. The foregolne statement fairly represents the history and decline of the average con sumptive. It is needless to say that if the true nature of the case were In time cor rectly diagnosed, nnd- accordingly treated, the last and hopeless stage or tho disease Wonld not have been reached. In view ot ouradvnnced knowledge of tho different forms of consumption and of tho several changes that take place In tho lnngs with the different stages or each form, and of the inventions and discoveries made to arrest the progress of these chanses, there Is no excuse for permitting this class of patients to pass into u hopeless decline Treatment by Mall.
