PURPOSE AND OF LIMIT THE $3 RATE Tts Absolute Conclusion With the Closing Month of the Year. Dr. McCoy Takes Unusual Pains to Prevent Misunder- standing and to Avoid Criticism on the Ground of Partiality After January 1. With this closing month of the year ends, ac- cording to the announcement, this remarkable op” portunity. It is reasouable to suppose that by time the terms under which this opportunity is to be secured and enjoyed bave been made clear to all. ‘The greatest pains have been taken to guand 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 bas been given the emphasis of raptd pab- Hished repetition to make misunderstanding or con- fusion Impossible. The ae the $3 rate has been made clear. Jk was adopted because Dr. McCoy found that maay Who had visited his office felt that they could not many also had been kept away because of the gen- eral knowledge that Dr. McCoy's fees are high. necessarily made so by the great demands upon his time and skill. It bad been Dr. McCoy's intention, in establishing a permanent national practice in Washington, to give everybody an opportunity to obtain the benefits of his treatment, which had thrilled the country by its triumph over deafness and other deep-seated affections of the ear, the throat, the lungs, the bronchial tubes, by its won- erful triumph over some of those scouzges of hu- manity falsely called incurable maladies. While he could not reduce his fees—would not do so, in fact—for a specified time he abolished his fees altogether, giving hs services free and charging nly for the medicines used, making the uniform rate of $3 a month to all. It then became absolutely impossible to care for ‘the thronging cro +d of people who sought to take advantage of the opportunity within the time limit set. Dr. McCoy, therefore, frankly extended the rate, making the extension a generous and ample one, covering the last two months of the year. With this extension there has been repeated em- phasis given to the limit. Dr. McCoy desires to aveid criticism after ihe Ist of January, and those patients who come after that date and pay $10 a month will have no ground for complaint that they Dave not been abundantly notifled that the oppor- tunity of the $3 rate is solely lmited to those be- «inning treatment before January 1. This is the offer: All patients beginning or renew- ing treatment before January 1 will be treated until cured at the uni- form rate of $3 a month. This In- cludes all medicines and treatment. This is absolutely the final oppor- tunity under this rate. It will ander no circumstances be again extended or continued. After January 1 Doc- tor McCoy will resume his usual fees. | Deaf 18 years.

Many other persons suffer from Rervo1s diseases, liver diseases, kidney diseases end skin diseas->, as the result of irritating crys- tal poisons in the blood. A majority of such 61 ferers do uot have a definite understanding of the nature of their affliction. The following symptoms have been arranged by Dr. McCoy to enable suf- ferers to understand just what it Is that alls them. Although written ard copyrighted by him, they have heen extensively copied by other con- cerns witheut bis authority. The proper course of those affected is this: Read these symptoms cure- fully over; mark those that apply to your ease, and bring this with you to Doctors McCoy and Cowden. Providing you apply for treatment or renew treat- ment before January 1 you will be treated until cured at the nominal rate of $3 per month. DISEASE OF THE EARS.

Judge Miller's Action After Hearing Mrs. Streets’ Story. “This is another case that calls for the whipping post,” said Judge Miller this af- terroon in the Police Court, as he sen- tenced Charles, or, as he is better known, Jack Streets, to a year in jail for wife beating. The better half of the man, Ma- mie J. Streets, is a really beautiful young girl, of slight figure and of blonde type, and she related a story of brutality and cruelty, committed by the man who swore that he would honor and protect her, that requires an effort to believe exists at this enlightened age. Just two months ago, October 10, Jack and Mamie were pronounced man and wife. Within a few days thereafter he assaulted her, but with the characteristic forgiving nature of woman, the unnatural husband was pardoned by his wife. He continued to beat her, however, tntil the climax was reached at an early hour this morning. Sircets, by the way, is a bartender, fol- that occupation against the’ pro- of his wi uty of Mr: marred by a i Streets was somewhat Kened eye, as she took the stand in court. “My hushand has beat me,” she said quietly, “but I do not care to prosecute him.” “He assaulted you and you are willing to submit to it.” remarked the court. “Now suppose you tell me all about this matter.” “Well, judge,” said the woman, “he has beat me time and again, and because I never had him arrested he thinks he can do anythirg he pleases. Last night he came home, knocked me down and treated me awfully. I was forced to run into the street. He followed me and the policeman ted him.” here do you live?” t 307 Missourl avenue.” “Does this man support you?” asked the court. “1 was sick the other day,” was the re- ply, “and he gave me fifteen cents to live on, although he had $18 in his pocket. I have had to work in a lunch room to sup- rort him. He sent me a note this morn- ing saying if I would not appear against him he would not be prosecuted. I think, though, that he ought to be taught a les- son.” “So do I,” replied Judge Kimball. “Young man, what have you got to say about this. Streets denied the charges in toto, but his statements had no effect on the court. “You can pay a fine of §20 for assault and $20 for disorderly conduct,” ruled Judge Miller, ‘with six» months in jail in defavlt in each case.” SS IMPREGNABLE BOOK.

Foreman Cowsil’s Serious Fall—Other Happenings ef Interest on the Other Side of the Creek. There was a serious accident this morn- ing shortly after 8 o'clock at the union de- pot, corner of 36th and M streets, which may result fatally for Bernard T. Cowsil, the foreman of the brickwork on the structure. He is a brother of the contrac- tor for the work, and shortly after start- ing to work walked across the iron beams on the third floor, at the southwest corner of the bifllding. He missed his footing and fell straight down to the ground, his body failing to strike any projections, and land- ing on his head. When picked up his head was terribly gashed and discolored, and a number of other bruises sustained, in ad- dition to a broken leg. Dr. Ritchie was summoned, and the injured man carzied to a drug store across the way. It is feared that the skull is badly fractured, in which event the recovery of the mun is doubtful.

Miss Bertrand, daughter of the hotel- keeper at Tocaioma, captured a most un- usual quadruped a few days ago. It is a specimen of the ordinary cotton-tail rab- bit, but differs from the rest of his tribe by not having his just share of ears. In fact, he has only one, and that is “right in the middle of his forehead.” Possibly this rabbit realized that he was different from his fellows, for he was first | seen only a few hundred yards from the |. When he was chased, instead of get- up eees as fast as possible, he ran into a clump of shrubbery and stayed there until he was picked up. And the strangest thing is that he never seemed frightened at any time, but allowed himself to be handled just as if he vgs used to it ali his life. The body of Miss Bertrand’s rabbit is exactly like all other rabbits, and so is the shape of his head. His fur is the same color, und there appears to be no diifer- efice in size from others of his species. But to look at him is startling. And all on ac- count of that strange, uncanny ear. It sticks up in the wildest manner and makes the little animal look about twice his real size. It also gives him the ferocious ap- pearance that indians have when they put a feather on their head and twist it into their hair so that it sticks up as straight as a beanpole. While the rabbit captured at Tocaloma has only one ear, it really seems to have two orifices. The openings are on the sides of the ear and not far from the usual places. From the upper portions of them the skin of the ear grows toward the cen- ter of the head, where it joins the one from the other side, and the two become one piece of flesh. The upper portion of the ear is not unusual, except for the fact that the inside is turned toward the back instead of toward the sides. The single ear is nearly twice the size of one in normal condition. Notwithstanding his peculiarity, the one- eared rabbit is as happy as can be. He hops around his pen in the liveliest man- ner, and when he is picked up shows signs of being pleased at the attention. —_—__+0+_____ At the Opera. From the Roxbury Gazette. “So you were at the opera last night?” “How were the voices?” “Excellent. The way those boys rendered ‘Opera books—books of the opera’ left an impression on the audience that will not scon be forgotten.” | he clutched the Blackwell’s Ae Stopped the Car. From the New York Sun. He was young and neatly dressed, but he retained the biggest half of a last night's jag. Making his way up the Bowery as steadily as he could, he suddenly decided te take a cable car. Unfortunately, he was iu the middle of the block, and cable cars only stop at corners, but the gentleman was too much absorbed in whisky and thought to realize the fact. The first car refused to stop, of course. So the gentle- man retired to the sidewalk and entered the car's number with great care and 4 Mberation in a memorandum book. Then he essayed a second car (about four cars had passed while he had been putting down the number), but the second, and equally a third car, likewise did not stop. In each case he entered the number of che sinning car in his book. Finally, with an expre: sion that said: “I'll make this car stop. handrail on the rear plat form of a fourth car and pulled back as if stopping a team of horses. ‘The car went on. So did the gentleman with the jag, # sort of human pennant to the car. A Passenger on the rear platform rang th wildly to stop the car. After the car cate to a standstill the pennant climbed aboard, and calmly put down in his notebook the num- ber of the conductor, gripman and car, then he dropped asleep triumphantly. The man next to him saw the number of the car as he had written it down, This was it: “Carnumber 7778.81." A Difference. From the Chicago Tribune, Cholly (handling his friend's revolver gin- gerly)—“I suppose, now, if this should go off while I'm holding it like this it would blow my bwains out.” His Friend—“No, it wouldn't do that, but it would bore a hole clear through your head.
