Up to the first of September Doctor
Mccoy gave all the opportunity Of plae-
Ang themselves under treatment ut the
rasSe OF 50 a month. That all who placed
theteselres under treatment We're to be
treateCs not for one month, but just as
long as Csey needed treatment, at this
rate, Doctor Mecoy endeavored to make
as plain as he oauld This was the
essential thing in the offer. the thin z about
1t that made it a splendid piece of benevo-
leace-that the So rate was given not
for month. but that it was gwen 10 all
UNTIL THEY WERE CURED.
Now, as the month following this offer
passes, many of the patients who placed
themselves under treatment during August
ask as a special privilege that to which they
are plainly entitled i. e, that they be
allowed to renew their treatment for d
second month at the So rate. 1t is from
them that Doctor Mccoy learns that the
report that the So rate was given only
for one month was circulated.
Now, Doctor Mccoy is not accustomed to
being misunderstood, at least not upon
essential matters. He has tried to make
tie lessons he has sought TO teach very
plain. He has taught many lessons in
this city, but he finds that he has one
more to teach, and this lesson is that
he means literally what he says ia every
announcement In order to make this les
son plain, he VIII continue the offer Of
the So rate until the 1st of November

selves under treatment, and all old
patients who renew their treatment

tic application Of the painters for mem
bership As has heretofore been stated
the condition upon which the council would
admit the Mount Vernon Assembly TO mem
bership is that it should withdraw from

PASSED WORTHLESS CHECKS.
Simon Green's Method of Realizing
Small Amounts.

Simon P. Green, middle-aged coloreG
man. was arrested last night by Detective
Kpnartin, charged with passing worthless
checks. Green has rather the appearance
Of an industrious colored man than a forger
and does not seem to be an expert In the
business.
Several days ago he Went into W. E
Ch anclee's cigar. store at the Ebbitt
House and purchased a half dozen cigars.
In payment he rendered his own check
drawn TO Simon P. Green OF bearer and
signed by himself, on the Ohio National
bank for Sl-75. In order to convince
the cigar dealer that his check was good
he produced a deposit book on the same
hank, which showed balance Of betw cen
So and So.
The hand writing in the bod y of the check
was different from that of the signature,
but as the negro appeared honest Mr.
Cnandlee gave him the cigars and 81 so
in change. Green said he was employed a t
the new city postoffice building, and If
there was any difficulty in getting the
cIeck cashed he would come in and make
ii all right the next day.
when the check was presented at the
bank by Mr.. Chandlee's son it was learned
that no such person as Simon P. Green had
an account there, and the paper WAS, of
Course, worthless. The matter was re
ported to the police, and last night De
tective Kilmartin found the man on Penn
sylvania avenue and locked him up in
No. / station.
Several other persons have made similar
Complaint to the police OF being swindled
in tie same manner by Green. His checks
We're all drawn for small amounts and the
net sum which he realized was not large.
Green VIII appear in police court today, and
the police win then have several cases Of
false pretenses and forgery against him.
