A Friend or Thirsty Thousands.
Few of the many thirsty travelers who
stop before the rusted iron pipe that
springs from the sidewalk and from the
mouth of which spurts the,waters of the
spring in a steady and never-ceasing stream
knows the source from which the blessing
comes.
The supply is enormous, "but it hardly
equals the demand. From dawn until long
after midnignt that half-inch pipers en
girdled by a circle of parcljed humanity.
There are old men with jugs and dinner
pails; women of all ages and condition,
pallid and overdressed dudes with pocket
flasks and children with battered tomato
cans.
It is well worth the trip from the lower
section of the town to $rain a glimpse of
the curious spectacle. You really can't

the pipe. The conductor and the gripman
religiously alights and drain hie cups of the

follow their example. And the Grej stone
is a democratic spring it there ever wis one.

thirsty bipeds it fills the bucketsot teams

are. never refuse to drink nd the few
vagrant cows in the neighborhood make
daily pilgrimages to the spring. In a word,
every li ing thing who has once patronized
Greystone straightway become regular
patrons.
Despite the fact that it has been doing
business at the old stand for so many years
the spring is just beginning to attract atten
tion. The people living in the East End,
the cable car men and the men and women
who lrequent that section ot Fifth avenue
are familiar with its vesture, but there are
thousands who live down town and across
the river who are unacquainted with it.

But a brighter dav is dawning for the

the men ot medicine are mainly lesponsible
for this pleasant transformation. Dr. F.
Le Moyne, of the East .End, orders his
patients to drink no ether wa'er, as does
Dr Edward Jlathiot, who has thoroughly
tested it. Dr. Otto Wuth, the chemist,
who has made a careful analysis of the
water, also recommends it most highly. In
an interview with a Dispatch reporter he
said: "The amount ot organic matter is
not greater than that found in carefully dis
tilled water, and is of vegetable origin. It
would be impossible to find a better drink
ing water anywhere."

The history of the spring can be told in a
single paragraph. Twenty-six years ago
the late General T. 31. Hone boucht the
land on which the spring is located and
built a great stone house. He named the
place Gre stone. A month later he discov

which is located about 600 yards from the

The Reasons Given for the Resignations of
Two Antronnmers.
San Francisco, June 18. .""perta.
Much comment has been caused 'here by the
resignation of Astronomer Burnham from
Lick Observatory, following as it has the
resignation of Prof. J. E. Keeler. It is
known that Keeler and Burnham
both took the 'keenest delight in
the unequaled instruments on Mt
Hamilton, and that if they had received
considerate treatment both would have re
mained with Lick Observatory for life.
Among the causes assigned by those who
have had a chance of observing life at Mt.
Hamilton are Director 'Holden's lack of
consideration for the comfort of his asso
ciates and his desire to get the benefit of
their astronomical work in his magazine
articles.
The relations between Holden and his as
sociates were so strained about the time
Keeler resigned that all communication be
tween them was by letter. They neer spoke
as they passed by at their, work. A truce
was- finally atrreed upon, as it was feared
that reports of such relations would injure
the observatory. Holden also reluses to
allow his subordinates to write about their
work tor newspapers or magazines, without
his sanction, yet he gives tor pay to certain
newspapers and magazines the results of
discoveries at Lick Observatory. This
news, according to James Lick s plans,
should be given free to the public, just like
a glimpse through the big telescope.

Penology fast becoming a science in
America; crime it regarded as the natural
sequence of a moral disease, and is treated
as such; and the ex-convicts' aid "societies,
employment agenoles and missions through
out the United States are' standing remind
ers that the primary object of our penal
system is not to punish criminals, bnt to re
claim them.
The climax of penological triumphs Is
the industrial reformatory tor the ameliora
tion of young' offenders. Beformatories by
no means include those moral pest houses
for the breeding and dissemination of vice
and crime known as "houses of refuge," of
which almost every State has at least one
too many. Of reformatories proper there
are but two, one at Elmira, N. Y., under
the management of Z. It. Brockway, the
other one at Huntington," Pa., of which Mr.
T. B. Patton, formerly postmaster at
Altoona," is the superintendent.. There are
one or two slightly similar institutions in
the other States known as reformatories,
also a girls' reformatory at Indianapolis,
but they are not worthy of consideration
under the head of true reformatories. ,
Mory of the Hnntlngtou Institution.
Nearly 15 years ago the Legislature of
Pennsylvania- made an appropriation for
the erection ofa new penal institution to be
located at Huntington, and to be known as
the '.Middle State Penitentiary of Pennsyl
vania." Later, at the recommendation ot
the State Board of Charities, the name and
purpose of the t institution were changed,
and when, three years ago, it was opened as
the Pennsylvania Industrial Reformatory,
Major B. "W. McClaughry. then warden of
the Illinois State Prison at Jollet, Secretary
of the "Wardens' Association,"' and well
known as one of the leading penologists of
the world, was urged to take charge of the
place. Out of sympathy with the work and
at a decided pecuniary loss to himself,
Major McClaughry accepted this offer, and
when after more than two vears of corisclen
tious and unremitting toil, his declining
neaitn compelled mm to sees a new sphere
of usefulness and he resigned the suoerin
teodencv of the reformatory to accept that
of the Chicago police force, he had made
the Pennsylvania Industrial Reformatory
what it is ackdowledged to be, the model'
penal institution ofthe world.
No similar institution bat ever received
so much attention from the press, but the
daily life" of the inmates, their recreations
and other phases of their existence remain
to be accurately described. The rules gov
erning the reception and discharge of pris
oners are too well known to admit of but
brief mention here. ,The system of indefin
ite Sentence prevails and the length of a
prisoner's incarceration depends solely upon
his behavior during his first year's impris
onment, twelve months' perfect record en
titling him to parole, that -is to go outside
ot the reformatory nd be practically free,
subject, however, to its control until such
time as- the authorities are satisfied that bis
reformation is complete, when his final dis
charge from, further liability is ismed.
Stricter Than In Penitentiaries.
The rules governing .the prisoner's con
duct are undoubtedly very rigid, more so in
fact than the regulations "of a penitentiary.
This, however, is absolutely necessary in
order to effect the purpose ot the reforma
tory. . The most- unpopular . as well as the
wisest rule is the, absolute prohibition of
the use" -of tobacco.. To many of the prison
ers tobacco is the sole object of existence.
They arise in the- morning with but one
care upon their' minds "Where will they
get a chew? Will it be a. "new" or a
"second hander?" .And .after they have
got one, where, oh, where will thy get an
other? No miser ever cherished his gold
more carefully than the prisoner his tobacco.
They have secret receptacles for it in their
coats, hats, mattresses, and sometimes in
the walls of their ceils. They chew a piece
of tobacco until it is reduced to shreds and
then dry it and roll it (with tissue paper)
into cigarettes to smoke -if an opportunity
should offer.
In spite of the vigilance of the superin
tendent and his assistants a great deal of
tobacco finds its .way into the institution.
Just how, it is hard to say. The guards are
all honest and efficient men and are above
suspicion, and an inmate found with to
bacco fn his possession invariably savs 'he
found it. It is supposed that most' of it is
dropped purposely by visitors who. are be
ing shown through the reformatory.
Chewing Shoe Strings for Tobacco.
In lien of tobacco some of the' boys adopt
curious substitutes. , About a year ago, Mr.
De'Forrest, the Chief of the Commissary
Department, purchased a lot of porpoise
hide shoe strings - which to his positive
knowledge were more durable-than those he
had been using hitherto. T3ut strange to
say the demand tor" shoe strings increased
four fold. "Wishing to trace the cause of
this, he- said nothing but dealt out shoe
strines to all who asked for tbem, until one
day a little fellow, embojdened by success,
came for his fourth pair of shoestrings in
one week. The boy was taken before the
superintendent and after a little 'question
ing admitted that he had chewed the shoe
strings because they tasted like -tobacco.
Other boys being called up, made the same
admission, and the old style of shoe strings
was soon readopted.
The reformatory maintains a "well filled
library to which" extensive additions are
made monthly, the admission fee ot visitors
going to replenish it. It is under .the
supervision of Protession J. H. Likens and
W. C Odiorne, both men of great scholarly
attainments aud superior literary tastes.
The boys at Huntington have an advantage
over the inmates of Elmira institution in
the fact that they are allowed to select
their reading matter themselves. Litera
ture is taught in the schools, and a great
many boys accustomed to revel only in the
exploits ot such heroes as Deadwood Dick,
Jessie James and Old Sleuth, by following
a judicious course of reading laid down for
them by the Superintendent or moral in
structor, lose their liking for the "blood
andthunder" style and learn to appreciate
the beauties of tne higher order ot litera
ture. '
They Get a Craze for "Writing:,
Some of the boys, in fact, cnltivate a de-
cided literary Dent, and it is no unusual
occurrence for an inmate to approach the
Superintendent with the request to "be al
lowed to keep a pencil and notebook in his
cell llir.t -he may relieve his overcharged
brain by transferring to paper a few off
springs of his imagination. Scarcely a day
passes that the editor of the Reformatory
Jteeord does not receive an article designed
for publication from tome inmate. The
poetry is nearly all built on the refrain that
there it (or there is not, as the cose may
be) hope for the poor prisoner behind the
bars. The lines rnn on indefinitely until
an opportunity presents itself of closing
with the word "stars," yars," "cars,"
or any other word that wilL rhvme with
"bars."
But some of the productioni of ,tne in-'
mates are very readable. Ode young man
being sentenced to a night of solitary con
finement for tome act of insubordination
composed a parody on Poe's celebrated,
poem "The Ravem" Here are ' few Tenet:

Another youthful satirist wrote the fol
lowing parody on "The Bells":
A Parody on the Balls.
Hear the tinkling' Deputy's bells, eleotrlo
bells
What a world of solemn thought their mel-
ody compels;
For every sound that floats from ont their
silvery throats.
Tells of bine or vellow notes, tales of woe.
And the pleadings and exouses that the
Deputy peruses never (ro
And the victim who fs "In It" feels the briny
'tear drops falling,
Expectlnc every minute to hear the solemn
toning
Of the bells, bells, bells,bells, hells, bells,
bells.
To hear tne solemn tolling of the bells.
Hear the awful doctor's bells, croaker's
bells, ,
What a world of horror now their melody
foretells.
As some poor unlucky wight stoutly soreams
out his affright,
Too much horrified to speak, he can only
'shriek, shriek, out of tone.
In a clamorous appealing to all agencies di
vine. And a mad expostulation at the waste of
Iodine,
Leaping higher, higher, higher, with a des
perate desire
And a resolute endeavor to come again no;
'never,
To the doctor's little room.
The reference above to "Tells of blue or
yellow notes" refers toF the fact that when
an officer is obliged to report a prisoner for
an infraction of the rules he writes his re
port on b,luo or yellow paper according to
the nature of offense.
The" follnwjng parody on Campbell's
"Soldier's Dream" was also written by an
inmate:
A Parody on The Soldier's Dream.
I retired to my conch, for the night call had
sounded,
The triangle's echo still rang through the
hall,
Grim silence and darkness enveloped tho
prison
And brought needed slnmber and rest to
us all.
While resting "that night on my pallet of
straw,
And dreaming of happier days passed
the dead of the night a sweet vision I
saw
Or the banqueting hall of a glided cafe.
I quaffed the huge flagons of ruby-red vint
age And drank me a toast In a glass ot cham
paznej ,
With the friends and tho loved ones In dis
tant Chicago
I attended the races and dances again.
"
"Oh, stay with us, linger." they begged and
Implored me.
And to tell yon the truth I was anxious to
' stay,
Bntgrlm sorrow returned when I woke on
themorrfiw,
And the voices and visions had melted

This was the only attempt he ever made
"to wake to ecstasy the living lyre" and
since his release from the reformatory he
has shook the Byronic influence and is
(earning an honest living by driving a gro
cery wagon, i The last time I saw him he
was swearing at his horses in a very prosaio
fashion. " r
Such a thing as a ball and' chain is un
known in the' institution. "When a "run

is attached Jo a belt at his waist which he it
compelled tp wear for'two months as an in
signia ot disgrace, but its weight is insuf
ficient to inconvenience the wearer in the

None of the guards on dnty inside the
bnildings carry firearms and the only "black
jack"- in the institution is carried by the
Deputy Superintendent, George A. Smith.
During the three years and a half that he
has had charge of the prisoners he has had
occasion to use it only once and that was in
self-defense against an incorrigible and half
insane convict of notorious homicidal ten
dencies, whohad previously threatened his

London, June XL Quite by accident" I
ran plump Into the Queen's drawing-room
not In Buckingham Palace, for it is only by
design and deep-laid design that one gets in
there but in the splendid avenue that
leads to It through St. James' park. It was
only a day or two after I reached London
that I was exploring in the vicinity of Tra
falgar Square and St, James' Palace. .Pal
aces are as thick as bumble-bees round a
honeysuckle vine over here, you know, and
my curiosity was first idle, then acutely ex
cited by what seemed to me 'the extraordi
nary" number of brides for one morning. (
Carriages were dashing. about with coach
men and footmen decoratedwith bouqnets
regular corsage bouquets as big as din
ner plate, and was looking- even more
than ordinarily immobile and "toplofticaL"
Each of the carriages were filled with' half
a bushel or a bushel, of flowers, and a con
fused heap of satin or brocade, white arms
and shoulders; diamonds, elaborate coiffures,
more or less pretty faces, filmy veils and
white feathers.
' The first of these that I saw, I said to
myself: "There goes a bride; good luck go
with her."
Presently I saw a second, a third, and a
fonrth. "It's a great "day for weddings,"
thought L "
The Town Hwmrd Full of. Brides,
I met five women in, line dragging out of
the Hotel Metropole. yards and yards of
train, all wearing filmy veils nd feathers.
"Dear, dear, surely they can't all be brides
perhaps, some are bridesmaids," I con
cluded. Then later making my way through
St. James' Park toward Piccadilly I came
to a long line of carriages, all. filled with
my supposed brides and I suddenly real
ized that I had been looking at the dowag
ers and debutantes ofthe English1 swelldom.
It was a chilly May day, and. a.oi,osely but
toned coat felt very 'comfortable, but the
women in the carriages sat with the win
dows down and their bare, arms and should
ers fully exposed to the raw. damp air. The
wait was more than an hour for some, bnt
they never quailed, and never made a move
to draw np their cloaks. Some few indeed
kept themselves snngly wrapped in opera
cloaks, and about half a dozen over-modest
damsels hid themselves from prying eyes
behind drawn blinds. ' - v-i
The trying light of midday revealed few
very pretty women. Eyes looked dull that
sparkle in the gaslight, cheeks looked pale
that glow in the warmth of luxurious draw-ing-roqms,
and even the diamonds, of which
there was quite a peck measure full in sight,
looked white and glassy in the cruel light.
Crowds swarmed up and down on either
side of the drive inspecting women and
toilets actually stopping and peering into
the carriazes at tbe freight of millinery
and beauty, and making andible com
ments, complimentary and otherwise, in
a manner quite worthy pf a new re
public rather than a stout old monarchy.
Receiving In the Streets. .
Every now and then some 'good-looking
chap with a silk hat, or some ,pretty woman
with a lorgnette, wonid step out from the
crowd ot gazers to speak tp some one in the
carriages, for it is quite the thing for one's
friends to come and see one off, as it were,
when on tbe way to the drawing room.
"While in New York it is, extremely bad
form to go sightseeing on the. street or turn
out of one's way to, see anything so com
monplace as a procession the looking is all
done from behind half-closed blinds the
people whose manners they imitate here jog
about most comfortably and see a good dei
oi tne wona irom tne curujuine.
The drawing-rooms here, like the New
Year's reception at the "White House, mark
the formal opening of the season, and, as
in "Washington, the Iadfes who appear at
them have functions of their, own recep
tions and teas immediately after the
drawing-room is over, so that their costly
court dresses won't go to waste entirely
without being duly admired. After .each
ofthe recent drawing-rooms there were in
numerable teas given by the' presentees, or
the august mothers, or aunts, , or grand
mothers of the presentees, .in order to
show off the marvelous gowns and
head-dresses and miles of trains,
and there was snch a rushing about from tea
to tea that people i.iirly ran into each other
in the "West End. It's" quite the thing also
to be' photographed in court dress, and
most of the 600 ladies who kissed the hand
ofthe Queen's substitute and so secured the
open sesame to swell functions (on ing to
the death of the Duke of Clarence, the
Queen, and the Prince of Wales and family
absented themselves from ' the drawing
room", and ..Princess Christiana did duty
instead) were driven directly to the photog
raphers and drew a crowd round the
door that watched them as they went
in and waited to see them reappear.
A Plnco to See tho Style.
These drawing-rooms not only open the
season formally, but set the styles to a large
extent. The newest wrinkle introduced
this year is the "shower" of flowers, instead
of tne orthodox cabbage-head bouquet.
The flowers are not wired at all, but only
long stemmed ones are nsed; and the ar
rangement of them is well described by the
name. The flowers, foilage, and ever-trailing
vines used in them suggest when carried
a veritable horticultural shower, and reach
from the waist quite to the hem of the dress.
The effect is most artistic and unconven
tional, but it's a trying thing to manage.
There were carried with the court costumes
"showers" of lilies of, tbe. valley, sweet
peas, white lilacs, roses, carnations, orchids,
and everything that could be put into such
a bouquet.
Another thing decided by the drawing
rdoms is that sleeves are essential with de
collete gowns, and that the shoulder strap
has disappeared tor a year at least. Many
ofthe sleeves reach to the elbow, while few
were seen that did not reach at least . half
way to the elbow. A great many of the
newest evening gowns are low in tne neck
and have wrinkled sleeves of chiffon, very
like the arm of a mousquetalre glove, reach
ing to the hand as long, indeed, as the
pretty Marie Stuart sleeve.
In the charming 600 that advanced to sa
Jute'' Princess Christian's hand one by one
there was a goodly showing of Americans,
well gowned and good-looking. Mrs. Lin
coln presented at the first drawing-room,
Mrs, Willinm "Wavne Belvin, Mrs. Catlin,
wife of the "United States Consul at
Munich; Mrs. Edward Klrkpatrick; Mrs.
John Howard McFadden, Mrs. Henry
Phipps, Jr., Miss Phipps, Mrs. Pruyne,
Miss Pruyne, Miss Anderson, Miss Berthe
Scblesinger, Miss Shaw and Miss Smilin
ski, and at the second, Mrs. Bicbard MoCall
Elliott, Mrs. "William B. Kip, Miss Kip,
Mrs. "Warner Miller, Miss Miller, Miss
Edith Yan Btaren and Miss "Whisler.
Americans Particularly Admired.
Mrs. William ."Wayne Belvin, of San
Francisco, won admiration. on every.side by
her personal' charms and the beauty of her
gown. It was a princess gown, trimmed
with medallions ot exquislle point lace and
sleeves of lace. jt was in the empire fash
ion and the low, round neck of the bodice
was softened by an edging ot cream feathers,
while on the riht shoulder three feathers
softly bunched together gave a piquant,
dainty touch to the gown. The train of
pearly satin, four, yards in length, was
richly, embroidered in. silver ipaneles and
crystal beads in. design as delicate as the L
traceries 0K-aroi,s. gunning sogers.
"Mrs. Henry "M. Stanley, wife of the
African explorer, tad Jfrs.;EEnrd Qrnbb,
a 'bride of last summer; detelve to' be
numbered among the 'Americans on. account
of their husbands. .Mrs. Stanley, who was
presented by the Marchioness of Sfdisbnry,
looked a regal figure in court drew of white
satin, with the seams all strapped. wi(h
pearls, and the long white 'satin train, at
well as entire front ot the dress,, embroid
ered with pearls. She wore' diamond orna
ments, and among themthe miniature
medallion of tp.e Qneen set in diamonds
which the Queen presented to Mr. RlinUr.
Mrs. Grubb attended the drawing room 'to
resent one tif her numerous sisters, Miss
a'isy Sopwith, and wore a white satin dress
emoroidered with pearls, and a court train
of sunset pink velvet fattened to her
shoulders.
Quite one of the loveliest go'wnt worn bv
a debutante was that in whioh Mist "Wilson
was presented. She is the daughter of the
Wilsons of Tranby Croft and baccarat tame
and was "presented by her mother. The
gown in question was of white tattn, open
ing on an nnderdress richly brocaded with
silver. The train was of white silken
muslin perfectly transparent and falling in
most .graceful folds. It had alUuroundit
inside tbe hem a wide insertion of Valen
olennes lace.
A Fen Picture or lady Brooke,
Speaking of Tranby Croft and baccarat, I
saw the renowned Lady Brooke at Tatter
sail's during a sale of hunters and hacks.
A marvelously pretty woman she is, or, to
be more exact, has been, for she is looking a
trifle passe now. She has the most ex
quisite golden hair, deep blue eyes, finely
marked brows, and a tall, supple, welt
molded form. She wore, when I saw her,
a cadet blue cloth dress with tne back and
fronts of tbe bodice of bine and silver
striped material, and .she trailed her hand
some skirt abont the yard with a nonchal
ance that showed there were plenty more
where that came from. I didn't know that
she was Lady Brooke when she attracted
my attention by her air. She carries her
self as if she were quite well accustomed to
drawing attentive and admiring glances
after her and rather expected them. She Is
not at all like her pictures, but possesses in
finitely greater sweetness and charm of ex
pression than they credit her with.
Mrs. M. Louise Thomas, of Sorosis, who
came over on the City of Paris recently on
a mission to Bussia for the Bed Cross Belief
Committee, spent some time in London, re
newing old ties, and has now gone on to
Bussia. She is going to look into the con
dition of tbe suffering and starving Rus
sians, ana mase a report to tne society.
She goes alone, due to the faotjhat a pretty
Polish woman of Nihilistic tendencies tried
to enter Bussia under eover of the Bed
Cross as her companion, but the story is
already too well known to rtqnlre repeti
tion. ,
Boiler Skates In "Washington.
Here's a specimen ttnry thai the Ameri
can abroad tellt about the "land of tbe free
and the home of the brave.." One Prank;
Hall was interviewed about rolled skating,
and here is what he says about "Washington.
(He regards the roller skate at. a future
rival of the bicyele and runt a rink here.)
Comparing the ponularity'of roller skating
in Washington with it in London, he says:
"In -"Washington, which it a-small town,
you can see a great deal more skating. ' Ot
any city in America perhaps in this coun
try also "Washington, with' its snfooth
streets, is. next to London, most favorable
to the roller skate. Well, in "Washington
you'll see business people skating to their
business, and members ot Congress 'going to
and from their legislative work on skates.
So yon see that there are distant possibili
ties for the roller skates, provided you have
suitable streets." '
Now, isn't that beautiful!
Imagine Senator Hiscock bowling down
Pennsylvania avenue on rollers. Imagine
Senator Harris gliding over tbe shadow of
tiie immortal Ueorge iromjils Capitol Hill
home, and sitting on the front steps of
the Capitol unstrapping his skates. Im
agine ex-Speaker Beed and Breckinridge,
from Arkansas, scudding along the ave
nue on slates to see which can reach the
Peace Monnment first. "What a Jolly time
the wind would have if Senator Peffef was
in a hurry to reach-his desk; what' would be
sweeter than a. glimpse ot Senator Carlisle
and Senator Wolcott skimming along band-in-hand
sharing a pair of skates fn
brotherly fashion? Think of 6ur-.law-roakers
bending and swaying gracefully on
the speedy roller instead of trudging along
homeward in the drowsy fashion, they do. -An
Echo of the Fare DueL
Said a well-known American to me
apropos of the Fox-Borrowe dueling alli
ance: . "It is now a well established fact
that Pox got 200 for the sham duel in
whioh.be Burnt his coat tails, and It is gen
erally understood that altnough Fox and
Borrowe never speak as they pass by they
meet under the rose and 'divide the swag.'

TERROR IN TANEi.
Farms Are Dirt Cheap, bnt Life Insurance
Is High There.
Kansas Cut, June 18. The Taney
county troubles promise to lead to more
bloodshed. The majority of the men ofthe
county are hidden in the woods and mount
ains and the situation is darker than ever.
The present trials are not likely to result in
any good, and what has been done will
prove to be bnt small when compared with
what will yet happen. No man who knows
anything about the recent murder and
lynching is willing to testify in the case,
because he knows that he will be a marked
man. Family after family is quietly leaving for
nsw homes, and farms can be bought for
iess than Government land. "Women and
children are working in the fields where
work is being done, but scores of farms are
abandoned. Every man is fully armed, and
no one who is called upon by a stranger
after nightfall dares to leave his house tor
fear of being shot to death. In fact, a
veritable reign of terror prevails.

Nature, Building Up Its Work What
" 'ThLr Season Ia Best Adapted To
A Few Timely Remarks.
JoV comes the summer 1
Nature Is warm 'and loving and generous
In summer.
It fructifies and builds np. It supplies
anew the old exhausted sources. It rein
vlgoraesand rejuvenates.
The sick (eel1 almost well In summer, so
gentle Is tbe season to the ailing. The vic
tim of a c'ironio disease feels an abatement
of the Sharpness of his suffering.
Jfature does much for us, bnt she does not
do all. It Is not f wise toassume that when
thjs,beantlfnl season works an improve
ment In the system, complete health will be
the result. " t
tfo, .
Bather tblnk that this Is an offer of help
from nature, wbloh yon should at once take
advantage of,'
In snob diseases as catarrh and Its kindred
ailments It is especially advisable that the
sufferer be ndt deceived by the bland lnfln
euceot the summer season, and that he
recognize tbe neofcsstty of secnrlng that
medical aid, which Is needed, ror perfect co
operation with natnre.
'Catarrh Is an obstinate and danzerous
disease. It clings tenaclonsly to the system
and grows more malignant with each re
turning fall.
Tho time to take treatment for diseases of
a catarrhal nature 1' now. The climatic
conditions are mot favorable. In fact, the
best or the year (thn liability to taking cold
being tbe lowest) nnd two or three months'
treatment now will do more eood than nine
months' In cold or rainy weather.
Time and again Drs. Copeland, Hall ana
Byers have advised patients in desperate
stages of catarrhal trouble to wntt nntll
summer before tnklng treatment. Time and
time again havo they nrgod the necessity of
taking treatment while tbe weather was
ravorable to a euro.
Now is that time. Those who suffer from
catarrh should take advantage of all the
Influences that operate now In favor of a
cure. They should not put off treatment
until next winter's stormy days, but should
prndeptly "mend their roof while the sun
shlnps." Now Is the time, and the opportu
nity is jnst What ts desired for the worst
cases. Donotlet Itjrobv, but place your
self under the treatment'of Drs. Copeland,
Hall and Byers, and havo done for you In
the next few months whit might not be pos
sible the next summer.
CtjHSIJMPTIOICS GHASTLY CLUTCH.
A'Nsrratlvo of Remarkable Force From
,'Mr. Andrew Qlover Bronchial Catarrh
and Its Appalling Results.
Do you know what it is to have consump
tion threaten your life? It Is to bear death
knocking at the door with quiet but appall
ing strokes. ,
It ts to hear the echoing langh of the de
stroyer In every cough forced from tho
chest.
Itjs a shadow across the snnllght of yonr
existence, a shadow growing larger and
blacker nntll it engulfs you completely.
No wonder, then, that those who feel the
ghastly clutch of this monster rush to the
?hrsicians who can slay It. No wonder that
bote Who have escaped It cry alond and
call upon others to seek relief from the
sonrce whence they obtained It.
Mr. Andrew Glover, 217 Irwin avenue. Al
legheny, makes this statement:
"I Want everyone to whom It maybe of in
terest to know now I suffered from incipient
consumption and how I was enred. -
"Three years of pain and suffering: three
years of medical treatment from the beat
physicians without even small relief: three
years of constant struggle for health, and
now perfect health and strength be) ond my
wildest hope. This Is the story in brief. But
to be particular: ,
"My trouble originated in neglected colds,
then followed all the symptoms ot catarrh
ot tbe head violent headaches, closing of
the nasal passages by hard lumps buzzing,
roaring and clicking sounds in the ear, tote
throat and husky voice, poor appetite, loath
ing distaste for eating, dyspepsia, sleepless
ness, et& . ,
"But the catarrh extended into the bron
chial, tnbes and tbe lunss. My breathing
was difficult and was accompanied by a
wheezing sound. I got a heavy cough and
every time I coughed my lungs were racked
with pain. Sharp pains darted through ray
chest constantly, l conghedlncesantIy dur
ing tho day and ae,niiiht I wpnldbeawak-
enod wltb my coughing, which wnnld then
last for an hourata time In fact, nntll I be
came so weslc that I would almost faint or
lose consoionsness. Then I had night
sweats, cold.-profnse and exhausting.
"I felt tbat I -was slowly drifting Into con
sumption. I gave up all work where I was
employed, nt Boggs & BnlU's. I grew thin
to tho point oi emaciation. Doctors pre
scribed medicines which I took, but without
avail.
"To-day matters are vastly changed. I
never felt better In my Hie. My catarrh is a
thing or tho past. My conIi has disap
peared. I have increased greatly In flesh
and strength, and I can say that I am en
tirely well. -
"This Is all due to the Intelligent, gentle
nnd yet pawerfnl efforts of Dr. Copeland,
HalPand Biers. I cannot express my
thanks In terms strong enough to do my
feelinss justice. I hope everyone who Is
affectodns I was will 'go nnd see them.
Their treatment Is wonderful In its resnlts,
for I have seen these tn other cases besides
my own."

HAD MRS. SMITir CONSUMPTION
Her sntTerlngs Were So Great She Often
Thought She Must Die She Had Lost
Flesh Until She Was Bednced Almost
to a Skeleton and Her Whole Life Be
came Miserable. .
Mrs. Franc Smith, who lived for many
?-ears on the Sontbslde. this city, but now
lying near Nlmtck station, Pa-makes an
emphatic statement of her sufferings, and
how she tried physician after physician, but
found no relief. She had been almost led to
look upon her case as an Incurable one, but
decided to try the treatment of Drs. Cope
land, Hall and Byers as a last resort.
Said she: "I want to express my gratitude
to you, gentlemen, and I ixant it put Just as
forcible as yon can possibly make It. I want
it In the newspapers, so that others who ma
suffer as I did may reid of my experience .
with Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers, and
learn whero to find relief. For I know what
has been done for mo can be done for
others.
"My trouble came on about six or seven
years ago. It bojran first with a cold in the
head, followed by another, and then another,
until my nose became continually stopped
up, and the pains In the front and especially
In the back of my head became so severe
and the annoyance so-great that life beoame
almost a burden In itself.
Mrs. Smith, Loteavmue, Aimfci station, JPa.
"The mncons
dropping in my throat
seemed to poison it, and t
set np a condition
of ulceration that made it 90 sore nnd irrlta-
blo I could swallow nothing bnt liquid
food, and that only with great difficulty. I
suffered from severe pains in my chest, and
under my sbonlder blades. 1 coughed In
cessantly and lost so mnch flesh tbat my
friends, as well as myself, were apprehen
sive of the gravest resnlts and often won
dered how long it would last.
"ily appetite was zone, and If I ever did
feel hungry, the sight of food seemed to
nauseate me. At times I had a bloated
feeling about my stomach, and at others,
especially after eating, there seemed to be a,
heavy weight there. My bowels were con
stipated and my whole system seemed to be
gradually going to pieces.
"I tried doctors nnd doctors, and found no
relief. I had been reading of the many
cures made by Dr. Copeland, Hall and
Byers. "At first, I doubted and hesitated,
but Anally I made up my mind tbat if so
ranch could be done for others, something,
at least, might bo done for me. I called on
them at their offices, 66 Sixth avenue. They
told me I would get well, and I placed
myself under their treatment, and the result S
has been truly wonderful. At first mj
progress was not so noticeable, but after
little time I could breathe through my nose,
later my sense of smell returned, and the
pains In my head gradually disappeared, my
throat became woll. and with this, my ap
petite came baclr, my congh and chest pains
dlsapnearedandnowl eat well, sleep well,
havo gained JO pounds in flesh, nnd am
heavier, and fet better than I have for a
number of years. In fact, I am as well as
I ever was in my life. I cannot say too
much for theso centlemen and will be glad
to verify this statement to anyone wno will
call at my home on Love avenue, Nimick
Station, Pa."
Catarrhal Asthma.
Asthma Is rarely a disease of itself. It
arises from nnmerous causes diseases of
the kidneys, stomach, heart, nerves, lungs,
blood and nose. If these several causes
were well understood and treated accord
ingly, thero would bo fewer irascible asth
matics. Catarrh of the" nose, moist, dry,
atrophic, hypertrophic, is now regarded the
most freauent cause of asthma reflected
athma, it Is called. The cause, of course.
Indicates the treatment euro the catarrh,
correct the deformity In the nostril'. If thero
be any, and the asthma will dlsapear.
"I had beon troubled with a catarrhal and
bronchial affection for years" says 'Squire
Keener, of Greensburg, Pa., "which during
the past five years developed Into regular
attacks or asthma. Every night for Ave
years I had to get up six and seven times
each night and burn and inhale an asthma
powder to obtain relief. After a course ot
treatment with Dr3. Copeland, Hall and
Byers, I can now go to bed and sleep all
night without waking up, and have no fear
of tho demon aslhma clutching at my
throat every night, choking tbe life out of
me. .
"I cheerfully make this statement for the
benefit of snfferlng hnmanity nnd injustice
to these honorable physicians who are do
ing the noblest work of any in the country.
Tho very low rates at which they treat pa
tients brings the skill or hlzhly educated
and trained specialists within the possibil
ities or the humblest citizen in our land."
NEURALGIC OR SICK HEADACHE.
A Very Common but Painful Affection
Emily Cored by Drs. Copeland, Hall if
Byers' Treatment.
Many persons suffer from neuralgic or sick
headache and are constantly taking patent
headache powders for relief of same. Theso
powders are dangerous as the principal in
gredient is often antlpyrine or antlfebrlne,
drugs which should never be uied excepting
under directions of a physician, on nccount
of their sedative action on tbe heart. Drs.
Copeland, Hall and Byers' treatment Is
mild nnd safe and permanently cures theso
distressing head symptoms which nearly al
ways are associated with catarrh.
"I had pains over the forehead and
throuch temples nearly all the time," says
Miss Sarah Irwin, of llansfleld. Pa., "and a
clogslng up of tho nostrils, with dropping
of mncus into tho throat hicn kept me
hawking and spitting u expel, a raw and
irritated condition of tho throat, with nil
the head symptoms we usually read or as
accompanying this affection. Now I am
nappv to say that I am freed or all these
annoying nnd distressing symptoms and I
cheerfully recommend Drs. Copeland. Hall
and Byers' treatment to all my friends and
the public."
