Institutes and w. a, c. Tied as Il
Result Of Last Nights Bowling.
The Carroll Institute bowling team had
as its visitors last night the Washington
Athletic Club players for set of tenpins
in the major league series, and the home
team had little difficulty in winning both
games. The visitors were unable to bowl
up to their usual standard, and low
scores on their side We're the result. In
consequence OF this the games were very
one-sided, the c. /. winning the first by
the unusual margin of 27 pins, and the
second by an even hundred.
As a result of last nights games these
teams are tied for second place, the
Saengerbund still having a complete lead
for first favors. Stone, Of c. L., last
night succeeded in making a record by

DOCTOR Mccoy
TEACHES A LESSON
The Renewal of the Rate of So Month to ALL
Patients and for ALI Diseases.
Given the Illustration Garry the Lesson HOmeWhat he
siders the Proper Use of the Word Free.

Doctor Mccoy had something 10 say
about offers of free treatment. The
essence of it was simply, that it is
not honest to lead people TO a medical
office on free offers and take their
money.
When Doctor Mccoy establishments
practice In Washingt on, for IA stated
time he treated everyone free. He
would as soon thought of cutting his
arm off as of accepting a cent from
anyone who responded to his free
offer. When following this for
stated period he advertised So N
month, he stated that the So was to
cover the cost of medicines; that his
own services and those of his col
league were free. He would as soon
thought of cutting his arm off as of
taking more than So from any pa
tit.nt.
Doctor Mccoy m ade the word Free"
popular because his use of IT was
honest. His offer to treat patients for
S3 a III onth, the average cost of medt
cines, was believed and accepted by
thousands because they knew Doctor
Mccoy told the truth, because they
knew his superb skill as n physician
had never been tarnished by deceit
or trtckery as a man.
1t is not enough that this be once
stated in public print. The lesson
needs to be brought home so hard 1T
Will never be forgotten. The public
must be protected from any methods
that are not perfectly sincere. The
sick ones of the public in any event
deserve protection, so Doctor Mccoy
teaches this lesson, giving the people
again his offer of So month and
promising to maintain this offer just
/ as long as the resources of his office
will permit of IL, that is, until the
number of patients under treatment
becomes so great as to prevent the
possibility of his personal care and
attention. This is the offer:
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE ALL

A BUGGY SMASHED BY CARS.
The Miraculous Escape of a.
Richa rds and His Horse.

-~--N-
Mr.. A. C. Richards, of the District fire
alarm service, was the central figure in
thrilling accident shortly before noon yes
terday that alarmed the hundreds of people
who were in the vicinity of Tenth and +
streets northwest where 1t happened. He
and his horse and buggy were caught be-
tween two electric trains, as told in the
Evening Times, and, while the
buggy was crushed into the smallest kind
ling wood and every bolt and rod in it was
bent, Mr.. Richards and the horse escaped
almost without scratch.
A short time before noon a west bound
train in charge of M Motorman l.. X. Tucker
and Conductor Noble left Ninth street at
about the same time that an east-bound
train crossed Eleventh street in control of
Motor man II. F. Bart and Conductor Huber.
As they approached each other, they
stopped at the Tenth street crossing, the
east-bound cars at the west Of the inter
secting street and the other train on the
east side.
At this moment Mr.. Richards drove down
Tenth street in an open buggy. He saw
both trains, and decided he could cross the
tracks before they started again
The marvellous and almost incredible
part OF the accident happened when those
who were first on he scene rushed in be
tween the two cars. Mr.. Richards was
found in the middle of the space between
the tracks with the ruins of the buggy
lying about his feet. The vehicle had been
wrenched from the horse ana had almost
been ground to a pulp between the two
trains. The horse had caught foot in
the fender OF one of the cars, and was
held there until relief came. Beyond q
slight scratch and bruise, it was unhurt.
