A FEW MONTHS AGO IT WAS NECESSARY TO SHOUT IN THE EARS GF THESE PEOPLE IN ORDER TO MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND; NOW AND ASK THEM IN A WHISPER THEY WILL T! you OF THE MARVEL OF THEIR CURE AND OF THEIR GRATITUDE. Statements like these appearing herewith today from those whose hearing bas been restored. if published two years ago, would have startled the selentitie world. So rare, up to the time that Doctor McCoy first made known the discovery of bis Cure for Deaf- fess, hal been cases of restored hearing under methods then fn vogue, that testimony like this would have been the one subject of consideration of the medical profession of the world. ‘Today it seems a common thing. Week by week. month by month and year by year, absolutety with- out limit, have been told these stories of hearing restored. until thelr very number has taken away the glamor from the marvel. Yet to those still deaf they mean as much as ever, for they point to sure relief from bondage; and to those who so gladly tell the story of restora- tion they mean the wonder of a new life. These People Were Deaf! Two years ago all the doctors in christendom would bare told them, almost without exception, that they must remain deaf forever. They Now Hear. And because they hear none need despair of re- gulning the lost sense of sound. SCARLET FEVER AND MEASLES INCREASED HER DEAFNESS. Miss Helen M. Towson, 15 Grant place northwest: “When I began Dr. Mc€oy's treatment my right car was so deaf it was prac- tieally useless. I had been deaf at intervals ever since childhood, and it was brought cn by a heavy cold caught when a little girl; after that, every spell of sickness I had seemed to increase my Geaf- ness, “I had measles, scarlet fever ‘and d'phtherla in turn, and each disease left me hearing worse than before. Both ears were affected, but the right one was much worse than the left. I could scarce- Jy hear anything with it. If the left car was closed I could not hear a word wien spoken to. HIS DEAFNESS RESULTED FROM THROAT TROUBLE. W. D. Woods, 200 Columbus st., Alexandria, Va.: “When I went to Doctors MeCoy and Cowden it was with the utmost difficulty that 1 could understand when spoken to. Now I hear everything distinctly. ‘My loss of hearing was caused by throat trouble. ‘& severe cold, which affected my throat, ~afness resulted. For the past four months I have been very hard of hearing, especially in the right ear Every cold increased my deafness. I bad to give up going to places of amusement be- cause I could not bear what was said. “It was some time after I began treatment be- fore there was any improvement, but when im- ent did begin to come it was rapid and Now I can understand when spoken to tone.

I could hear a faint murmur of the vole of the person speaking, but that was all, nor could I even interpret the loudest noise with my right ear. Always before rain or a storm of a t 1 would have attacks of extreme deafness. During these periods it was very hard for people to converse with we.

Policeman Jack Maher, while attempting yesterday afternoon to arrest William Pope, a well-known local colored tough, who some years ago attempted to shoot Gen. Augur, came very near suffering dis- astrous results. He had a warrant for Pope for assault, which had been sworn out by Carrie Butler. The officer met Pope in a carriage on 3ist street near U street, in company with John Jackson, perhaps better kaown as “Red Bill of Herring Hill, ard Peter Jackson, and attempted to ar- rest him on the warrant. Pope jumped from the wagon, but instead of accompany- ing the policeman, started in to beat him. Maher is perhaps the best all-around po- liceman in the precinct, and individually he would have had no trouble in handiing the negro, who is always supposed to carry @ gun or other weapon. “Red Bill’ and bis companion jumped out of the wagon, firding that Pope was getting the worst of it, and the first-named, picking up a brick, would have brained the policeman had not a citizen who was passing at the time held on to him. The plucky policeman got Pope and “Red Bill” to the station house, where they acted very penitently. Botan were charged with assaulting a policeman, in addition to the original charge of assault against Pope. Later in the afternoon another charge of assault was preferred against Pope by Augustus Coats. Peter Jackson had not been arrested up to noon today. Pope, who was struck by Police- man Maher, openly threatened at the sta- tion house to kill him. Emancipation Day.

Jasper Collins, sheriff of Lechter county, Ky., arrived here last Saturday looking for James M. Step, a citizen of the county, whom he charged with arson and horse stealing. The sheriff owns a mill at Rock House, Ky., and Step was foreman of a gang of lumbermen in the woods near the mill, Collins and Step had some trouble about a note for $500, and a man named James Wilson figured in the affair as a friend of Step. Before the transaction was completed the sheriff's barn was burned and Wilson wes arrested. Step left the county and the sheriff followed him here. Yesterday about 6 o'clock Detectives Car- ter and Gallaher surprised Step when he called at the post office for his mail. When placed under arrest Step made a denial of the charge, and said that on the night of the fire he was more than twenty-five miles from the sheriff's property. It 1s charged that in leaving the county he took two horses in order to reach the railroad station, twenty-five, miles distant. One of the horses was found on the road. The prisoner agreed to “return home without the formality of aicregmisition, and four hours after his arrest he was on his way back to Kentucky. ,; —e-— Mr. Jerome Hopkins’. Rehearsal.

Several of the choruses and solos were sung, and the children showed remarkable proficiency, both in singing and acting, and each number was greeted with loud ap- Plause. All the young ,people seemed to enter thoroughly ingo She spirit of their work, and they sang with great precision and power. Previous to“the rehearsal Mr. Hopkins read a satirical essay upon the attempts that have been. made to found an American school of music, pointing out the money that had been wasted in misdirect- ed effort. He believed that the school was the place to lay the’foundation of musical cultrce and appreciation, and hoped the tirse would soon come when the present wrong system would be changed to a ra- tlonal and intelligent method, within the comprehension and capacity of children. Se Death of Doctor Taylor. Attorney T. C. Taylor received informa- tion yesterday afternoon ef the death of his brother, Dr. Jno. C. Taylor, at ‘Cam- bridge, Ohio, Monday night. Mr. Taylor and Col. J. D. Taylor, another brother, left last evening for Cambridge, a: ecompanted by Col. T. H. Anderson of the Ohio Na- tional Bank. A MOUNTAIN PEACH FARM. Mr. Frank G. Carpenter Improving @ Handsome Place at Snicker’s Gap. Mr. Frank G. Carpenter, the well-known‘ newspaper correspondent, who for seven years past has been a regular weekly con- tributor to The Evening Star, has become a resident of Loudoun county, Va., where he has bought a fine tract of land on the Blue Ridge near Snicker’s Gap. Last fall he planted on this farm thirty acres to apple and peach trees, and he is now en- gaged in plowing and planting about- ten acres more. When this work is done he will have an orchard of about 4,000 trees. Work was begun last week on a-lange AN OPEN LETTER To MOTHERS. ‘WE ARE ASSERTING IN THE COURTS OUR RIGHT TO THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE WORD “CASTORIA,” AND “PITCHER’S CASTORIA,” AS OUR TRADE MARK.

Mr. Car- penter has selected an exceptionally beau- tiful spot for a summer home, and with the thrifty forethought of a western SS) has given it a practical and commerc! turn in tree planting that can hardly fail to bring handsome results. His farm is about eight miles south of the noted Becker farm, on the Blue Ridge, where in a single orchard there are 2,400 acres of peaches, the largest fruit farm in the United States this side of Caltfornia. Several Washington residents have moun- tain farms at Snicker’s Gap, among them Mr. Charles G. Smith of the Potomac Stone Company, who went to the moun- tains last week with his family to spend the summer; Prof. Josef Kaspar, the vio- linist; Mr. Louis P. Shoemaker, Miss H, Grace Brown of Mount Vernon Institute, and Mr. Jules Demonet of Demonet & Son, The plans fer Mr. Carpenter's new house, gs pr2pared by Messrs. Speiden & Speiden, architects, of this city, comprise a struc- ture fifty-two by forty feet of coloniel style, two stories and attic. A broad-cov- ered veranda, with massive stone columns, surrounds three sides of the house, the columns resting on a heavy stone coping. The wide doorway opens into a reception hall fifteen by twenty-five feet, connecting on the left by sliding doors with a spacious dining room, and on the right with a well- appointed library. The lower rooms are provided with large stone fireplaces of special design, provision being made also for heating by furnace, if desired. On the second floor are five large bed rooms, bath and servant's room. The stone work is of granite found in the vicinity, and special precaution has been taken in the anchorage of the lighter por+ tions of the structure to resist the moun- tain blasts. While Mr. Carpenter intends to use this as his summer residence, pro- vision has been made for comfort in the coldest weather. —_—_——._—_. THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. per.
