Report of the Trustees to the
superintendent of Charities.

Report of the Trustees to the
superintendent of Charities.
Charles C. Lancaster, president Of the
board OF trustees for the Eastern Dis
pensary, Yesterday Subn,itted u the super
intcndent of charities the ninth annual
repott of tie institution under his charge
l shows that during the past year there
were 1876 visits recorded . ,693 patients
admitted and treated surgically and medici
nally, 127 operations performed. and 3 SIS
prescriptions compounded.
The charitable demands of the sickly aud
worthy poor would have more than doubled
this WORK had the board OF directors suffi
cient fandS under their control to Eeet the
necessary expenses.
For the past year the dispensary has
received. from all sources, the sum o: 81
624,03, OF which s. 900 was contributed
by Congress.
For TIE same period the board expended
f,029, and tie lady mana gers 1868 -.
l N admitting patients the board Of di-
rectors has have adopted a policy thai
nc applicants shall be treated except those
who were found, upon. careful investigation
to be %orthy objects nf charity.
The board of directors released the val
uahlc property No. 217 Delaware avenue

stitution, for a term of two years, with
u right OF purchase for the sum of 81 ,00U,

The POPULARITY
OF THE s. RATE.
Doctor Mccoy. Although Recognizing This Popular
ity, Insists that the Reason for Giving 1t Be Not
Overlooked--f1e States Authoritatively That 1t
Will Under No Circumstances Be Again Extended.

In nothing so much as by the very great
number OF those who nave applied for
treatment during the past two weeks has
the popularity Of the So rate been shown.
1t was with genuine surprise and delight
that the unexpected announcement W asre-
oeived and welcomed by hundreds.
1t is natural enough that the rate should
DE popular. u is natural that anything Of
fered at one-fOurth part ofits actual value
should be popular. Popularity. however,
was not what we sought wien the So rate
was extended until November /.
Doctor Mccoy simply agreed to this ex-
tension in order that 10y it he might dis
prove and emphasize the disproof Of those
false reports which were circulated, 10 the
effect that all who began treatment under
ihe So rate would be compelled to pay
large fees after the first month had passed.
The very essential thing about the offer
was that those who took advantage of it
were entitled to the rate UNTIL CURED.
Having agreed to the extension, Doctor
Mccoy viii live up 10 the letter of his
agreement, but while doing This he insists
that there is no justice In continuing
longer To give the people skill and eX
perience at a price SO much lower than it
lE worth and 50 much lower than those
living in other cities are willing to pay.
Doctor Mccoy desires to say that under
no circumstances viii he again he per-
Euaded TO extend the offer, no matter for
what cause or consideration Regarding
this offer then. let there he no possible
misunderstanding 1t is simply this:
All patients applying for treat
ment or renewing treatment before
November LIST viii be treated UN.
TIL CURED at the uniform rate of
SO "a month. This includes all med
icines and treatment. 1t applies to
all diseases and to all patients.

Refused a Place on the Ballot.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. Oct. 10
County Clerk L. +. Crumb heard argu-

sion to place on the ballot TO be used
at the approaching election Of the nom
nations made by the Citizens league,
which is a mixture of Democrats and
Republicans, with Edward Long, a Re
publican Of this city at its head. for
the office Of sheriff and Charles Hilbert
at the foot, a Democrat, for coroner.
There seems TO be some irregularity IN
the preparation Of the petition. II
looked as though the signers of the petit
tlon for the nomination of William J..
Graney Of Dobbs Ferry for member OF
the assembly had been pasted onto the
list for Mr.. Long, and by holding the
paper against a window pane the name
OF Mr. Carney was plainly discernible.
A number of signers to the petition for
Mr. Graney testified that they did not
sign any petition for Mr.. Longs place
on the ticket for sheriff. The county
clerk decided not to put the ticket on
the ballot
