The extension OF the So rate beyond the
limit which Doctor Mccoy first set ior
II, that is, November j, was made neces-
Eary by the crowds OF people who thronged
the office during the concluding days OF
October If Doctors Mccoy and Cowden
had been twenty doctors instead OF two
doctors they could not have begun to have
cared for all the people during the last
two or three days of the month. Many We're
turned away. 1t is not part OF Doctor Nc
Coys plan TO hurry patients, TO have his
offices unoomfortably crowded or to compel
patients To wait long hours before Seeing
their physician. When he made the e&-
tension of the rate, therefore, he made
the time ample and generous-two fun
mouths-for the very purpose OF avoiding
any more such scenes as those that char
acterized the concluding days of October.
Now, about two weeks remain during
which advantage can he taken Of the rate,
and ample notice having been given that
the opportunity positively closes January
/, and that it viii under no circumstances
or on no condition be extended beyond that
date. Doctor Mccoy desires TO add en-
phasis TO the purpose OF this extension, To
avoid the scenes OF hurrying and confusion
which were so annoying to patients and
physicians alike. DR.. Mccoy respectfully
asks, for Ills sake and for their sake, that
all those who desire to avail themselves OF
the opportunity of the So rate make their
application at once, rather than wait until
the last few days of the month.
Doctor Mccoy desires that no person be
denied this opportunity. He has done all
in his power to ma ke the limit OF time
known, and those who come during the
last days OF December and find it is physi-
cally impossible for Doctor Mccoy TO see
them will lave only themselves to blame,
when, after January /, they are obliged
% pay Doctor McCoy's regular fee, for
McCoy'S practice are permanent in Wash
ington, the period during which advant-
age can be taken of the So rate is not
permanent; It ends positively with the
end OF the year.
All who place themselves under
treatment before January LIST will |

form rate of S3 a month. This rate |

The divorce case of Mrs. Mary L. Hoover
against Thomas G. Hoover has again come
to the attention Of the court. Some time
ago when Mrs. Hoover was granted

or could not pay the money. In oppo-
sition to paying it, Mr.. Hoover claimed
that he had no money and that his busi-
ness was not paying anything and also
that he had to pay his stable rent in
meat.

by her counsel w. Preston Williamson

tive business in the street market
and derives handsome profits. She denies
that the real estate j a her name was pur-
chased with his money. She says that
