REASON FOR 6IVING THIS CASE.

In selecting the case of Mrs. Lizzie NJ McCurdy,
who was carried to DIS. Copeland and Gardner n
hopeless invalid, indeed 80 feeble and weak that
she had to be supported up the steps and into the
Office by her daughter and her cousin, we are not
In any degree appealing to the credulity of news
paper readers; we are simply giving the exact
words, the truthful and easily verified experience
Of the patient, and produce it, not to represent
Drs. Copeland and Gardner As miracle
workers but to show, as we have shown again
and again In these columns, that such conditions
are not hopeless. that they may be cured.
1t is reason enough, II any reason need be given
for the publication Of such an experience, that
there are thousands Of people to- day In New York
whose relatives and friends feel that they are
dying from Consumption who may be restored to
perfect health and strength. This Is no idle state
ment; 1t is the simple truth.
This narrative Of Mrs. McCurdy's Is no more re.
markable than that given last week by Mr.. VIII.
lam Kidney. the we'll known contractor living at
1876 East 69th st. He stated plainly that twenty
different doctors bad given him up 10 die of Con-
sumption: that Drs Copeland and Gardner re-
stored his health.
This narrative OF Mrs McCurdy's Is no more re.
markable than that given a few weeks ago by Mr..
Charles Fredericks, the oldest photographer In
New York, at 10 Broadway. Mr.. Fredericks
states that he was cured of Lung Trouble by Drs.
Copeland and Gardner nearly year ago. and that
he has been strong, sound. well man ever since
In giving Mrs. McCurdy's statement exactly as
she made ii, word for word as she delivered 1t to
the writer, we are only showing that even the

What was he to do? He puzzled over
the relative merits of blonde and bru-
nette, weighed in the balance the nu-
merous virtues of each, tried every pos
sible and impossible plan for finding out
ones own mind-all to no purpose. He
was too thoroughly ashamed of himself
to take anyone into his confidence. Mrs.
Grytan was his nearest matronly friend,
but she stood In too intimate relations
with Agnes to be considered for mo-
ment. II 1t were any other matter. he
would go to Josephine. but he could
never own himself such fool to her.
He had known Josephine Ferrars all
his life. Only n year his junior. she
seemed quite passee compared to the girl
to whom he paid his addresses nova
days. He was thirty-five now. and he
remembered with what impatience he
had waited for the day he attained his
majority, that he might lay his for
tune at her feet in true heroic
fashion. She was twenty then, and
how she had laughed at him for a
silly boy. Their friendship had remained
unimpaired, however and Josephine had
gone on teasing and lecturing him Just
as she had done since they were babies
In later years their friendship had grown
to be very pleasant one and Josephine
seemed to him like an olde- sister. He
went to her In all his perplexities. and
she had had no little share in his profess
sioI al success, But he had never spoken
to her OF love affairs; indeed. till his
present dilemma he had never had any
since his boyish devotion to Josephine
herself. ...........

The New York

Boston. May 19.-The cruiser New York
reached Boston after a good run from the
Deiaware breakwater. Though there was
only natural draft in the fire rooms and
although at no time did the revolutions of
the engines exceed 102 per minute, a speed
OF nineteen knots was attained The aver
age rate at which the vessel went through
the water may be safely put down as nine
teen Knots. If it be remembered that this
burst of speed was made under Il steam
pressure of 140 pounds to the square inch,
that only unsolicited coal was used, and
that no effort was made to force the cruiser
this record stands alone. Theoretically
speaking. If the existing conditions hold up
on the official trial, when the blowers are
IN operation the steam pressure run up
to l6O pounds and the revolutions Increased
to lE). there Is every reason to hope that
the New York will exceed her contract
speed by at least one knot, thus winning for
the builders the premium of sou, 900
and giving to the United States the fastest
armored cruiser in the world On Monday
morning the New York will get under way
and steam up to the starting point off Cape
Ann for the great race. The contract with
the government calls for a speed Of twenty
knots per hour. $50, 900 being paid for every
quarter knot in excess and like amount
forfeited for every quarter knot below In
the opinion Of AZ the experts on board
the new cruiser has every prospect Of de-
veloping speed Of 20.7O to q knots per
hour.

Body SnntchinE,

Lansing Mich. May 19.--A boy named
George HARE, nine years of age, died at
Okcmus Monday, which taken into con-

much suspicion. The father was killed in
an accident one year ago, since when
there have been many depledations COM
mitted on the farm. The stock has been
mutilated and some have died. The at
tending physician. with the local author
tiles, instituted proceedings for a post
mortem examination of the boy. This
morning at o'clock a crash was heard
in the room where the dead body lay
by two lady watchers. and subsequently
after recovery from their fright and in
making an investigation it was discoy'-
cred that the body had been removed:
This morning the body was discovered
at the bottom of 4 deep we'll on the farm.
The mother later confessed to having
poisoned her son to prevent his growing

concern. 1t seems. started in the flour job
bling business May 1. but unfortunately
failed, seemingly. to present any letters Of
trade men, and the result Is that the new
firm has bren caused some embarrassment
There are also some who had business deal
inSs with Il. Miller & Co. who ure annoyed
on account Of thirty-day paper made by the
new firm in payment for flour. Jennison
Bros. of Janesville, Ainn., are waiting for
the paper on GOO barrels Of flour at $3.50 a
barrel to become due. and unless John w
Eckhart & Co. are relieved by proper legal
process from paying +. Miller & Co. for tho
same flour the Minnesota people are liable
to wait good while.
The method of doing business which F.
Miller l. Co. are said to have adopted was
to write to milcrs in the Northwest and
offer them good round price for consisn-
ment of flour, the goods to be paid for by
tllirty-dayS' draft. 1t is claimed that 1t
was the intention of the new firm after get
ting the flour to sell it below the market
price, but what +. Miller & Co. intended to
do when the thirty days draft became due
has not been suggested. They bought the
flour from the Jennisons for $3.50 a barrel,
and sold it to Eckhart for 1925 The bust
ness was transacted by Il man who said his
