Dr. McCoy Takes Unusual Pains to Prevent Misunder- standing and to Avoid Partiality After January Criticism on the Ground 1 : With this closing month of the year ends, ac- cording to the announcement, this remarkable op- Portunity. It is reasonable to suppose that by this time the terms under which thls opportunity is to be secured and enjoyed have been maile clear to all. ‘The greatest pains have been taken to cuard against the possibility of misunderstanding. Not only has the wording been clear ard explicit as to the dura tion of the opportunity, but the clear and explicit Wording has been given the emphasis of rapid pab- lished repetition to make misunderstanding or con- fuston impossible. ‘The purpose of the $3 rate has been made clear. It was adopted because Dr. McCoy found that many Who had vis'ted his office felt that they could not afford the money necessary for the treatment: that mang also had been kept away be-ause of the gen- eral knowledge that Dr. McCoy necessarily made so by the gn time and skill. It had been Dr. McCos’s:Intention. in estaMlishing a permanent national practice In Woshington, to give everybody an opportunity to ths benefits of his treatment, whieh had wintry by its triumph over deafness aml other deep-seated affections of the car, the the lungs, the bronchial tubes, by its wi ph over some of those scourges of hu- called incurable maladies. While erful t manity falsely he could net reduce his fees—would not do so, tn fact for a specified time he abolished his fees : = Mis services free and charging * melicines used, making the uniform month to all me absolutely Impossible t care for the thronging cro vd 6f people whe souzht to take advantage of the opportunity within the time limit therefore, frankly extended the extension a generous and am ering the last two months of the year. Dr. McCoy desires to t the Ist of January, and tho: patients who come after that date and yay $10 a month will have no ground for complaint that they have not been abundantty noftted that the oppor- tunity of the $3 rs y Himited to those kinning treatment before Janudry 1. All patients beginning or renew- ing trentment before January 1 will be treated until cured at the uni- form rate of a month, This In- cludes n2ll medicines and treatment. This is absolutely the final oppor- tunity ander, this rate. It will under no circumstances be again extended or continued. After January 1 Doe- tor McCoy will resume hix asual fees. L. L.

In addition to this, they keep open every night a free reading room for men, which is nightly crowded, and is the means of keeping many men, young und old, from the saloons and other resorts where they have oftentimes’ assembled. The executive committee of the lecal coun- cil have offered the following recommenda- tions, in order that the good work already begun may be furthered: 1. That the committee appointed at the last meeting be authorized to start at once the gymnasium long talked of. 2. That, in addition to serving at the reading rooms, each man identify himseif with one or more branches of distinctly mission work. 3. That more interest be displayed by the Brotherhood as individuals in the work in nd, ard volunteers for work in the Sun- day ‘schcol, boys’ department or other branches of church work be forthcoming. 4.

A week ago last Saturday a ictter was sent to the bishop Of. the diocese, Dr. Satterlee, notifying him, as required by the canons of the church, of their inten- tion to call as rector Rey, Mr. Wiliams. Bishop Satterlee’s answer was laid before the vestry last evening, and when read it was found that it indicated no preference one way or the other, but contained a favorable account of Mr. iliams i work. After some discussion { cided to extend a call to Mr. W, two years, tee, and for this purpose a commit- ing of Messrs. Theo, O. Ebavgh, rman, and Wm. A. Meloy and James E.

The vote by which Mr. Wil- liams was called was not exactly unani- mous, as several voted for other mintsvers, but, after the meeting was over, cvery one of the vestry expressed satisfaction at the result, and it is thought the call voices the congregation.

AFFAIRS INGEORGETOWN Transfer Station Wanted at 32d and P Streets, Deaths of Several People Noted— Local Affairs of Interest to Residents. There is a movement on foot to have a suitable transfer station placed at 32d and P streets fcr the benefit of the passengers of the Metropclitan and the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroads. The need of such a place has long been felt. The pas- sengers swelter in the hot sun of summer waiting for a car, and in the present kind of weather almost freeze while waiting. But for the kindness of Mr. William Ste- vers, at and P streets, northeast cor- ner, the passengers would be more incon- venienced. He permits the use of his store while waiting for a car. Arrargements are being made whereby a suitable shed will be erected at the corner for the conven- jence of the passergers, the expense being borne by the two railroads. A movement will also be started for suitable transfer sheds at 32d street and Dumbarton avenue, where the Tenleytown passergers trorsfer for the down town sine of the Metropolitan. Following up the matter, an attempt ‘vill be made to estab- lish a station at 32d and M streets, where a chirge is ~uzde with the cable cars. The change will be hailed with delight by the patrons of both roads, who are forced to stand and wait in cll kinds of weather. Deaths Reported.

Farmer's To the Editor of The Evening Star: I have followed closely the articles in your paper in regard to the farmers shipping milk into the District, and I wish to say a few werds in behalf of those farmers. It is not exactly the correct thing to call any one a fool, yet I know of no other word more applicable to these who run the health of- fice in Washington, __ We happen to have in the state of Mary- land a board of health, also a county board. Now, then, what right has the health of- ficer of the District to say how the farm- of Montgomery county or milk shipper shall run their cow stables? What juri diction has the District Commissioners ove: the state of Maryland? The milk shippers do not deny the right of the District officials to stop their milk if it is impure,..but.they do deny their right te send men vut here and direct what shall be done about their stables, or send rules and regulations gotten up by men who know nothing about cattle, for if they did know the regulations would be quite dif- ferent. The idea -ef their wanting the cairyman to have air-tight boxes for ma- nure! What is a barn yard for but tc meke manure in? Manure from the barn yard is not the most unhealthy thing in the world. Why doesn’t the health officer ecmpel all of the milk shippers to get out permits? What's the trouble? Possibly he sees afar off the beginning of a few suits against the District, and well may he fear it. While there is such a row raised about milk, why don’t the District officials com- pel the creameries to get out permits before they ship butter into the District? It seems to me the seme impuritics can be carried in butter as in milk. It may be useless for me to ask the question, as they will never attempt such a regulation of the cream- eries. In conclusion, I wish to say that the farmer may have hayseed in his whiskers, but his eyes pop open now and then when he is trod.on. . . ARTHUR M. MACE.
