Good RESOLUTIONS.

1t is natural, of course. for man to
think of making good resolution. AS
the year closes, he 1casts up accounts
and finds that he has been guilty of
many follies, whereupon he resolves to
do better, and does SO If he has strength
Of character. IN consequence, people
at this time Of the year should firmly
resolve to travel only via the st. Paul &
Duluth from now on when travelling
between St. Paul. Minneapolis, Duluth,
West Superior and other points, because
it is an up-to-dpte line. running luxur-
ious, finely equipped, trains at conven-
lent hours overea smooth rondbed, and
between handsome terminals where
close connections are made with trains
running to all points. Always take the
Duluth Short Line and go with the peo-
pie. Maps, circulars and general in

THE $3 RATE A WARNING
and A REBUKE
Against the Deceving 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 ALI
Right Thinking Men and Women -

Doctor Mccoy fs amply repaid for
the expense involved In the $3 rnte by
the gratitude of hundreds of patients,
who are receiving the benefit of his
superb skill at this purely nominal
cost.
He Is repaid a thousand times over
by letters and words of approval
from those who had been deceived by
medical confidence games disguised
under the Free or No Charge mask,
against which confidence games the
$3 rate was given as u weapon to
protect the people.
When men who are not doctors at
tempt to coin a dfsreputable gain by
trading upon the sick and afflicted,
the first step I'm their deception is
Invariably the effort to dclude the
sick by the terms Free" or s.No
Charge"
When such medical fakirs are
brought into competition with physf-
clans of skill and the ply ysicians of
skill have their rates so low that
they but cover their expenses, then
the bogus doctors no longer make
money, and as it q. money alone they
are after, they soon retire from the
field.
As a warning and n rebuke to them
and their methods. the establishment
of the rate of $3 month has served
as nothing else could have served.
Doctor Mccoy gave the S3 rate to all
patients and to cover all diseases.
His determine tfOn that none should
be unwftting1y or unknOwinRly inn
posed upon by medical pretenders
and bogus doctors was as broad as
the whole field of medicine.
Doctor Mccoy simply reserves to
himself the right to withdraw it by
giving due notice in the public prints
when 1T Is found to be absolutely
necessary. He would be glad 10 con-
tfnue this rate indefinitely for the
purpose for which 1t was given. The
crowds of patients who are seeking
his services will very apparently re-
ducc this I'm a short time to n physical
fmpOssibility. He insists upon per-
sOnal care and attention to all his
patients. He does not let out his
work to hired doctors or chenp
saIarted men, and so he has only
promised to maintain this offer as
long the resources of his Office
will permit Ii: that fs, until the num-
bcr of patients under treatment be-
comes SO great as to prevent the
possibility Of personal care and mt
tentiOn to every case.

Up the Law.
MAY MODIFY CLEyELAND's ORDER.
Some Positions Included Might Better

Kinley May Take Action Regarding
Them-Reports to He Made soon.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The resolu-
ton adopted by the senate last Friday
calling upon the executive heads of
the several departments of the govern.
ment for information concerning the
application of the civil service law to
their departments and for an express
sion of their opinions as to what if any
notifications ought to be made III 1T
has been under discussion by the cabi-
net. All the members of the cabinet
were present except Secretar Alger
and there was no dissent from the
proposition tbat civil service law ought
to be and would be upheld.
The principle of the system, iii the
opinion of all, must be maintained, but
there was some difference of opinion as
to the extent of its application. In
connection with the senate resolution
it was pointed out that IN some of the
department notably those of the state
and the navy. comparatively few
changes could be made that would be
all improvement upon present condi-
ditions II. some other departments
exceptions to the operation of the law
in the opinion of the cabinet members
ought TO be made. Some positions
they reported were included in the
blanket order of President Cleveland
that might better not have been in
cluded In such cases. isolated here
and there in several of the departments,
it would be in the Judgment of the
heads of these departments, be quite
proper for the president to modify Mr..
Cleveland's order.
While the system was pretty thor
oughly discussed, it can be said upon
the authority of three members of the
cabinet that no definite policy was out
lined, beyond determination to main
tain the principle of the civil service.
No effort was made to adopt reply to
che senate that would embody uniform
expressions of opinion. 1t is likely that
each member of the cabinet will pre-
pare his reply in his own way, embody-
ing such suggestions as he may deem
proper, the replies to be well within a
definite scheme to be outlined later.
