PRIVATE SAMPSON MEETS A BEAR.
i Jew Yorker rails a Hideous Monster Oat
of the Alleglienj River.
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.

"Yon Van't ketch nothin'

With yarn lor bodies an' feathers fer wings,
1 on mut think trout is terrible fools
Tcr be ketched with such outlandish tools.
An look at that pole w hy. thai w on't do;
A good, big trout would bust it in two.
An never think nothin' of what he did
As quick as Iijrhtnin away lie slid.
V ell, I'll be durn. you can shoot me dead
El here ain't a windlass filled with thread;
An' thei littlest sort ov tin pad at that
Wh, mn, thit wouldn't hold a gnat!
You'll find a good r lace ov cr hcie,
Under the rapids deep an' clear.
You'd better take worms an'er luck'ry pole.
Or ou won't ke'ch nothin', 'pon my soul!"

O'dest rishes or tho 'World.
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.

Now the days aro getting longer and a little

And the grass and leaves are springing
whore the same last summer crew;
There is weakness in men's u&lklnjr, per

And scuut off across the ljeld though

The rod and line and hook in hand, the fish-
worms in a can
And a deep commlsseration for the toiling,

The years have fled as water does within
the tireless brooks;
They've brought the money-making and the
deep content of books;
They've blotted many a boi ish taste, but not

To go with bait and hook and line out to the

And so when May comes in, each year, and

To drop their letter writing Just to drop the

And think that they are boys again as in the

A Tront Catches a Boy's None.
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' "

The most extraordinary fish ever seen
west of the Alleghemesare in the possession
of J. Tinpman and D. McCarty, both liv

streams in the Western part of Per-asvl-

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.

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,

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

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

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

not make this statement too strong, for the

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

ALTFATS BAD A BAD COLD,
Is the Way Little Marie Smith's Mother De

"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.

"3Iy trouble was principally of a local na

the lunss and stomach, causing thereby
constitutional symptoms. I had pains over
the forehead and through temples, a clog

mucus into the throat, which kept me hawk

recommend Drs. Copeland, Hall and Bvers'

"-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
