MIR. BRYAN's NEW HAVEN VISIT.
Much Curiosity Aroused in the Con-
necticut College Town.

The visit of William Jennings Bryan to
New Haven, Conn, tonight to lecture at
the Hyperion Theater has aroused mu>h
curiosity relative to the outcome. His visit
to New Haven last October while on his
campaigning tour attended wi. n
an unfortunate episode, IN which Yale un-
dergraduates We're a disturbing element
and extra precauticrs have been taken to
prevent another clash tonight. The idea
OF some of the sikerites at Yale to have
Mr.. Bryan lecture in one of the lecture
halls of the university as an offset to the
trolblous scene oil last fall was quietly
suppressed by the faculty before it took
tangible shape, and Gerald Hughes, pr.si-
dent OF the Yale Bryan and Sewan Cluo
during its existence last fall, yesterday
made the official announcement that the
club would not invite Mr.. Bryan to speak
at Yale during his stay. 1t is the general
belief that Yale undergraduates will not
attempt any disturbance during the lee
ture Henry B. Teller son of Senator Tel
Ter OF Colorado, and W. B. Stewart, son
OF the Nevada senator, both members of
the sophomore class at Yale, will occupy
prominent seats at the lecture.

THE S. RATEA WARNING
and A REBUkE
Against the DeceiWng of the Sick by Men
Who Are Not Doctors.
Doctor Mccoy Amply Repaid for the Expense by the
Gratitude of Patients and Words Of Approval From All
Right Thinking Men and Women.

Doctor Mccoy is amply repaid lot
x,cpsc involved in the 81, rate by
the gratitude of hundreds of patients
who are receiving the benefit OF MS
.uperb skill at this purely nominal
cost.
He n. repaid n thousand times over
by letters and words of aPpr"Sa'
from those who had been deceived by
medical confidence games disguised
under the Free No Charge mask,
against which confidence games the
-; rate was given as weapon TO
protect the people
when men who are not doctors at
tempt to- coin 81 d:Srrputable gain by
Trading upon the sick and afflicted,
1he first step in their deception IL
Invariably the effort to dclude the
sick by the terms "Frce" or NO
Charge"
When such medical fal>irs are
brought into competition with physi-
clans of skill and the physicians of
skill have their rates so low that
they but cover their expenses, then
the bogus doctors no longer make
money. md as il Is money alone they
are after. they soon retire from the
field.
As "a warming and n rebuke to them
md their methods, the establishment
of the rate of So IA month has served
ns nothing else could have served.
Doctor Mccoy gave the 81; rate to all
patients and cover all diseases.
His determination that nonc should
he unwitiinEIy or unknowinEIy i'm
posed upon by medical pretcnlers
and bogus doctors was as broad as
the whole field of medicine.
Doctor Mccoy simply reserves to
giving due notice in the public prints
when it Is found to he absolutely
necessary. He would be glad to con-
time this rnte Indefinitely for the
purpose for which 1t was given. The
crowds of patients who seeking
his services will very apparently
ducc this in u short time to n physical
in1 possibility He insists upon per-
sonHl care and attention to aII his
patients He does not let out his
saIaried men. and so he has only
promised to maintain this offer as
long the resources of his office
viii permit it: that is, until the num-
bcr of patients under treatment be-
comes so great to prevent the
tention to every case.
