It must be clear to anyone who will give the subject a moment's thought that the presentation of fresh testimonials every week by Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers means a tremendous success on'the part Of these physicians. It has been said so often that the people who give them do so voluntarily, and of their own free will and desire that it li not necessary to repeat the affirmation. It is shown upon the face of the statements. But what cannot bo said too often is that every one or these published testimonials is a story of exulting health and happiness, a grateful recognition of services rendered ana nn appeal to others to go ana ao UKe wle. Those whoeive them do so for humanity's sake. Thov know that thousands suffer as they did, nnd the v. want these thousands to regain health as they did. There is the music of new lire and new blood in them, and the chime is beautiful to the ear of the afflicted, for it rings nut the sweet, strong note of health in every chord. Warm from the lips and beam of these people, these words should inspire every one who is afflicted with t!o desire to gee buck to good health.

The Result nf Nrgtectrd Colds Statement of Mr. Kobert Klein, Who Was Cared of This Most Dlslr-ssinc Afieetlon. Perhaps no one is bettor known in Beltz hoover, the lovely little borough which over looks Pittsburg on the south, than Mr. Rob ert Klein, who makes this statement in in dorsement of Drs. Copeland, Hail and Byers1 treatment. "I had been troubled with catarrh and kiudred ailments for five years," Says Mr. Klein, "bi ought on by exposure. My occu pation is that of driving delivery wagon for my father, who is engaged in the grocery business in Beltzlioover.'and this duty com pelled me to face all kinds of Weather sum mer and winter. "My tronble first began with headaches over forehead and tluough temples. Soon after I noticed my nostrils were generally clogged up so I could not breathe freely through them, and mucus began aropplng back into my throat, causing me to hawk and gag to dislodge. This was particularly the case in the morning. I had to cougli and spit for quite a wliilo every morning be toie 1 could sit down to my breakfast. Jlfr. Robert Klein, Beltzhoovef Borough. "When I would begin to eat my stomach would grow nauseated and feel full and bloated in a little whilo, causlm; belching up of gas and palpitation of the heart and frequent dizzy spr.lU. My eyes jrrew weak and watery and I soon noticod distressing rnarin? or buzzimr noises in mylars, with shooting pains through chest to shoulder blades. My mind grew confused, I couldnot concentrate mv thoughts on any subject and Anally could not add up a column of figures correctly. My sleep grew troubled by horrid dreams and I awoke In the morn ing unreireshed and feeling as if I had slept on a board all night. The least exertion caused palpitation and a weak and tremb ling feeling, spots before my eyes, etc. I felt at times I would have to give up work. "In this condition I was persuaded to con sult Drs. Coneland, Hall and Byers and take a course of treatment, as tlley were curing so many persons of ailments of similar na ture as mine. I soon noticed a diminution of all mv symptoms. My head became clearer: my stomach and appetite improved; lny eyes, ears, nose and throat troubles pasted away; my sleep became sound aud re resiling, and I awoke in the morning rested, an reaay lor my aany wont "It is with pleasure I make this statement, hoping it may point others, afflicted as I was, the road to health and happiness. Drs. Cope land, Hall and Byers cannot receive too niucn praise for the good they are doing for suffering humanity." WHAT DO THEY MEANT A Question That Ban Singular Force and Prllnrncj. What do they mean, these interviews and illustrations? The busy person has, probably, no time to read them. But they are worth reading, for each contains a story of suffering, desbatr, hope and happiness. They mean that to those who are ill.health can be had without great cost, with regular and simple treatment, and in a very short space of time, compared with that required by the average physician. They mean that there are people who ara so delighted with their newly found health that they want the world to know the merits or the physicians who gave tt to tbem. Road the statements. Every one is a pearl and is full of promise to the Blek and the ailing. GAINED FIFTT POUNDS. Mrs. Frank Smith, of Nlmlck Station, Had Lost Flesh Until She Was Kedoced Al most to a Skeleton If er Sufferings VTeri So Great She Often Thought She Mnst Die. "I want to express my gratitude to you, gentlemen," says Mrs. Smith, "and I want it put lust as forcible as you can possibly make it. I want It in the newspapers, so that others who may suffer as I did may read of my experience with Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers, and learn where to And relief. For I know what has been done for me can be done for others. "My trouble came on about six or seven years ago. It began first with a cold in the nead, iollowed by another and then another, until my nose became continually stopped up, and the pains in the ironr.and especially in tne back of my head, became so severe and the annoyance so great that life became almost a burden in itself. "My appetite was gone, and if I ever did feel hungry, the sight of food seemed to nauseate me. At times I bad 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 bo gradually going to pieces. "I called on Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers at tnelr offices, 66 Sixth avenue. At first my progress was not so noticeable, but after a 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 well, and with this, my ap petite came back, my cough and chest pains disappeared and now I eat well, sleep well, have gained SO pounds in flesh, and am heavier, and feel better than I have for a number ot years. In tact, I ara as well as I ever was in my lite. I cannot say too much for these gentlemen and will be glad to verify this statement to anyone who will call at my home on Love avenue, Klmick Station, Pa." Treatm-nt by, Mall.

A Narrative of Bemnrktble Force From Mr. Andrnw Cover Bronchial Catarrh and Its Appalling Results. Do you know what it is to have consump tion threaten your life? It is to hear death knocking at the door with quiet but appall ing strokes. It is to hear the echoing laugh of the de stroyer in every cough forced from the chest. It is a shadow across the sunlight of your existence, a shadow growing larger and blacker until It engulfs you completely. No wonder, then, that those who feel the ghastly clutch of this monster rush to the physicians who can slayit. No wonder that those who have escaped it cry aloud and call upon others to seek relief from the source whence they obtained it. Mr. Andrew Glover, 217 Irwin avenue, Al legheny, makes this statement: 'I want everyone to whom it may be of in terest to know now I snffered from incipient consumption and how I was cured. "Three years of pain and suffering: three years of medical treatment from the best physicians without even small relief; three years of constant struggle for health, nnd now perfect health and strength beyond mv wildest hope. This is the stoiy in brief. But to ho particular: "My trouble originated in neglected colds, then followed all the symptoms ot catarrh of the head violent headaches closing of tho nasal passages by hai d lumps, buzzing, roaring and clicking sounds in the ears, soio throat and husky voice, poor appetite, loath ing distaste for eating, uypepsia, sleepless ness, etc. - "But the catarrh extended into the bron chial tubes and the lungs. My bieathlng was difficult Rnd 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 thiough my chest constantly, 1 coughedincessantly dur ing the day and at night I would be awak- Jlfr. Andrew Glover, tn Irtcin Ave., Allegheny. ened with my coughing, which would then last for an honr at a time in fact, until I be came so weak that I would almost faint or lose consciousness. Then I had nizht sweats, cold, profuse and exhausting. "I felt that I was slowly drifting into con sumption. I pave up all work wliero I wns employed, at Bogus & Buhl's. I grew thin to the point or emaciation. Dootors pre scribed medicines which I took, but without avail. "To-day matters are vastly changed. I never felt better In mv life. My catarrh is a thing or the past. My coush hai 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 powerful efforts of Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers. I cannot express my thanks in terms strong enonzh to do my feelings Justice. I hope everyone who is nffected as I was wrll go and see them. Their treatment is wonderful in its resnlts, for I have seen these in other cases besides my own." NOW IS THE TIME. Snmm.r Is Here and Everyone Can Be Out of Doors Nature Building Up Its Work What This Season Is Tiest Adapted to-A Few Timely Remarks. ow comes the summer I Nature is warm and loving and. generous in summer. It fructifies and builds np. It supplies anew the old exhausted sources. It rein vigorates and rejuvenates. The sick leol almost well In summer, so gentle is the season to the nillng. Tho vic tim of a chronto disease feels an abatement of the sharpness or his suffering. Nature does much ror us, bnt she does not do all. It is not wise to assume that when this beautiful season works an improve ment in the system, complete health will be the result. No. Rather think that this Is an offer of help from nature, which you should at once take advantage of. In such diseases as catarrh andits kindred aliments it is especially advisable that the Bufferer be not deceived by tho bland Influ ence ot the summer season, and that lie recognize the necessity or securing that medical aid w hich is needed tor perfect co oneration with nature. "Catarrh is an obstinate and dangerous disease. It clings tenaciously to the svstem and grows more malignant with each le turning fall. The time to take treatment for diseases of a catarrhal nature U now. The climatic conditioM are most favorable. In fact, the best of the year (the liability to taking cold being the lowest) and two or three months' treatment now will do more good 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 wait until summer before taking treatment. Time and time again have" they urged the hecessity of taking treatment while the weather was favorable to a cure. Now is that time Thoie 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 win tor's stormy days, but should prudently "mend their roof while the sun shines." Now is the time, and the opportu nity is Just what is desired for the worst cases. Do not let it go by, but place your self nnderthe treatment of Drs, Copeland, Hall and Byers, and have done for you in the next few months what might not be pos sible the next summer. Catarrhal Asthma. Asthma Is rarely a disease of itself. It arises from numerous causes diseases of the kidneys, stomach, heart, nerves, lungs, blood and nose. If these several causes were well understood a'hd treated accord ingly, there would be iewer irascible asth matics. Catarrh of the nose, moist, drv, atrophic, hypertrophic, is now regarded the most frequent cause of asthma reflected asthma, it is called. The cause, of course. Indicates the treatment cure the catarrh, correct the deformity in the nostrils, it there be ny, and the asthma will dlsapear. "I had been troubled with a catarrhal and bronchial affection for years," says 'Squii e Keener, of Greensburg, Pa., "which during the past Are years developed Into regular attacks or asthma. Every night for five years I had to get up six and seveu times each night and burn and inhale an asthma powder to obtain relief. After a course ot treatment with Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers. I can now go to bed and sleep all night without waking up, and have no fear of the demon asthma clutching at mv throat every night, choking the life ont o'f me. "I cheerfully make this statement for the benefit or Buffering humanity and in Justice to these honorable physicians who are do ing the noblest work of any in the countty. The very low rates at which they treat pa tients bring the skill of highly educated and trained specialists -within the possibil ities of the humblest citizen in our land." Drs.

MEDICINES XURNI3HEU FREB. jett fs THE MUSIC WORLD. The American Success of Mascagni's, .Recent Operas.. WHAT THEY SAY OF HIJI ABROAD. Some Important Productions bjr American Composers. GOSSIP OP MUSICIANS AND SINGERS The successful American production of Mascagni's second opera, "L'Amico Fritz" gives timely interest to the following por tions of Ludwic Hartmann's critique In the Leipzig Signale, written upon the first pro duction of the opera, and done into Enclhli for this department by Miss Lois Belle Cory: The musio of "L Amico Fritz" stands upon the high level of the "Cavelleria Bus ticana." The text book is feeble, impotent and insignificant. There is a self-evident antithesis between the storm and pres sure of tones and the harmlessness of the actions which they accompany. There is in the "Eusticana" a unity of style whether one admire or condemn the production as a whole which is entirely Jacking in the newer work, and on that ac count it is quite certain to be the fact that it will, not gain the hold upon musical tem peraments of which Mascagni's first work is the fortunate possessor. And also, mu sically speaking, there is a diminishing of impression to be noticed; not a diminishing of ihe worth of the music, but of the im pression it makes. The broad, heart-reaching melqdies of the "Eusticana," which have s;nt it ringing round the world, the capacity which it possesses in itself and of itself ot becoming popular are lacking in the new work. Fully as hot-blooded are the melodies, their erotic and dynamical gradations, the strik ing tearing off and sudden pausing of the plunging and raging orchestral music, and his nerre-agitating rubata. Hut the quiet, far-reaching melodies, which in the s'ong parts ot Santuzza Lola and Turiddo perme ated the whole world, are in "L'Amico Fritz" in no like manner concentrated. Mascagni felt as a highly gifted musician that the village story of Luzel and Fritz must be composed in pastoral style. He indeed begiiis the work with a pastoral. But he lacks the patience for, and the joy in finishers of, musical forms. A peasant dance quickly ends the pastoral, and even though the composer otten reverts to the flutes and the reed pipes, still the work soon returns to its penetratingly passionate character and becomes more and more rhap sodical. Dry recitations come in now and again. ' Almost without variation the composition of the text throughout occupies the middle ground between free and formal. But where a word in the text authorizes it in the least degree, the composer brings it out in the strongest and overdone colors. The instru mentation is throughout very loud, cutting and eccentric, often brilliant, and in the scene where Luzcl and Fritz, before they know their hearts, " pluck cherries, the instrumentation is of indescribable charm, soft as a mixture of two.fourand three-eight time, where the violin softens all, the mur mur of a summer nighr. Then again is most naturally represented the cracking of the whip and rumbling of wheels as the guests come and go. Lyrically and wonderfully beautiful and full of the charm of sentiment is the first gratulatory song of Huzel to Fritz, then an "allon garese" violin solo of the Gipsy Btppo; behind the scenes a bold, loud, slightly over-done march of the wandering band. Of great beauty is also the deeply thought ful, gradated, soul-stirriug Intrida in the third net, and nnally the great love duet, "0 Amore, O Bella Luce del Pore," oh love, oh blessed light of the heart, as the good. couple discover that they love.one an other and may wed. The "length of the duet must be conceded and its musical lux uriousness, the frame of lyrical opera, is sprung out of joint in the pressure, but genuine, true Bace lives in the music, and no where does it sound .sought after, on the other hand is explosive in character. H. Mascagni kuew the German stage, and the stress it lays upon beautiful measured musical forms, he would be better able to curb his splendid talent. Many a German orchestra leader dUd use a few glowing drops from the surplus thought impressions of Mascagni. "When "Friend Fritz" is over me feels perplexed as to how such a "petite Chose" could be made so very much of. The Eomans, however, think otherwise. They need success and national saints, so they choose to fill this role the good yonng Mas- cagnl. He is only, however, a most human, splendid man, as he demonstrates by his joyous laugh at all this extravagant worship, and his childishly evinced pleasure as he sits at the rehearsal until midnight with his wife and little child besido him. . Important Productions by American. Within the past few weeks two relatively important works by American composers have been-successiully produced. One was produced at the Springfield, Mass., Festi val. It is by Mr. George W. Chadwick, who is writing the Columbian Exposition Ode, and it is thus reviewed by Mr. Philip Hale: The feature of the conoert given Thursday evening, May 5. wns the flrt performance of Mr. Chadwlck's "Phoanlx Epigrams," the text or which is a religious poem bv an Un known author or (probably) the 12th cen tury. The poem maybe found in Trench's "Latin Poetry." It is a strange, mystical, amorous, contemplative expression of relig ious feeling, and it 1 fullol suggestion tothe musician. Mr. Chadwick in his verbal In troduction to the cantata says the work does not call for an extended description, as the various numbers are self-explanatory. To attempt to describe musloal impressions by "word painting" is unfortunately a habit in these days, as common as it Is idle. The cantata is written ror chorus throughout, with the exceptions of a soprano solo in the second number and a mixed quartet. The most effective portions of the work are the .first two numbers and the iflnale, although all the numbers are or genuine interest. The close of the second number with its or chestral outburst followed by the unaccom panied voices in a Gregorian ca dence is particularly impressive. The instrumentation is rich, and it shows tho Influence of the modern French sohool, as for instance in the delightful introduction to the second number. Yet Mr. Chadwick Is no .slavish imitator of Gounod or Massenet. He says his own things in his.ow.i way. This "PhCBnlx'Expirans" deserves reoeated hearings. It chal lenges the attention of every choral society of nigh pretension. For it is a Work that shows imagination as well as knowledge, and science is not allowed to choke poetic feeling. It was exceedingly, well sung by tho Springfield chorus, and the orchestra was led with discretion. Mrs. Lawson is Ill suited by nature to the broadly constructed solo. .The solo parts In the 3uartet were taken bv Mrs. Lawson, Mrs. ulle L. Wyman nnd Messrs. Mockrldge and Heinrich. The quartet, "Anamordolorslt," is difficult, and it was badly snug on account of an utterly inexcusable lack of sufficient rehearsil. Mr. Chadwlck's work made a profound impression, and the composer. was enthusiastically recalled. Kelley' Late Opera. The other work is Mr. Edgar S. Kelley's opera, "Puritania," produced in Boston two weeks ago and noted by the Trantcript after this fashion: Enthusiasm is Justified in speaking or Mr Kelley's musio. Here is a banquet of good things, each of whioh has its own flavor and is compounded with masterly skill. The composer's technical acquirements are great, but, with a discretion rare among musicians in eaily essays on a high plane, he suDoidinates his science, making it only the handmaid of his art. For Instance, Kith an otohestraof 12, in which several or the oholisare not full, he produces effects that at the moment cause the bearer to believe that a complete opera band Is before him. And yet he is always economical With his material, and like the French composers keeps up a constant play of varyiug color. By this it must pot be under stood that he Is restless. ' Indeed he sets a worth? examnle to his American brothers in art with high aspirations, most of whom in their anxiety to avoid the commonplaoe write hardly 'a measure without a modular ,J tion. Now. Mr. Kelley in this work is afraid neither to turn his course toward a near or a remote tonic, nor to sail along on a straight course for an en tire sentence. The variety or his forms, the expressive quality or the themes, the ploturesque contracts of motives and keys, and above all the consideration manifested for sinaers' throats in the assignment to them of tasks that are within the average nntural oapaclty, command the approbation alike of amateur and connoisseur.

During the week Secretary Charles Beisrar was notified by the Chairman of the HUH School Cqmmltte, after a conference of this committee, that only the card numbers by which the pupils were known at the final ex amination last week were to be given out for publication, which report will be published either Tuesday or Wednesday morning, so the ultimatum of the High Sohool Commit tee prevents tne High school pupils from outalnlnz information about the ex amination which they always ob tained in the ncwscaDers. Wnile from his number a pupil may learn whether he has passed or not yet the general Informa tion desired by families. High School classes, schools and public In general will be miss ing on account or absenco of names. The new move Is considered by many as a sop to the present system or examination for en trance to High School. This abolishing ot the publication of names Is a breaking up of a custom established in 187.!. which Prot. J. M. Logan and Prof. W.R. Ford started and report says they remained up the greater part of the nigut preparing the lidt ior the newspapers. The principals all seem well satisfied that only the numbers of the pupils are to be published as they think the publication of the names and percentages causes extra work nnd pressure In the schools because each school wishes to m.iko the best report possible to the public. The wishes of the children by this reasoning are not consid ered. It is well known that they like their elders like to see their successful names in print, and everybody knows that tbe names of those who failed are never published. First on thn Lists.
