What S. a rlonth Means

When DR.. Cowden offered free month 70
all patients taking ppi regular OF treat
ment, he felt satisfied that. this method OF pro-
cedure would cost less and result in cures
than any other plan that could be adopted for
the season most favorable to the treatment of
catarrhal diseases That Hundreds OF sufferers
thought the is evidenced by the large
number that took advantage OF his generous Of
fer and under this mild, curative
methcd of medication
Ii seems that the free month method involved
a slightly greater immediate outlay Of money
than was possible TO be met by a great many
people, who were not only anxious 10 take treat
ment, but whose casese absolutely needed iinme-
diate attention. All this has resulted in a great
and popular demand for rate that could be
paid by the people in general Furthermore, the
knowledge that DR.. Cowden had for the past two
Summers extended s.. 90 rate for a limited pc
Rod, has resulted in his receiving requests 10
renew that offer by number OF people which
runs well into the hundreds
There has never been a time during the three
years that Doctor Cowden has been established
IN this city that he has not always been willing
to accede to what, in his opinion, would result
IN the greatest good 10 the greatest number.
lie was the first to establish this principle of
practice in this city and will always be the
first to meet the Just and honest requirements Of
its people. With this great object in view he
makes the following offer and requests that pa
tients needing and anxious TO be given treat
ment apply at once, for two reasons, first, that
they may get advantage of all weather pos
slble and second TO avoid the usual rush and
crowd that always take place during the last
few days.

AT THE TEEATERS.
Glen Echo-"Fnu.t y

Even In the height of the regular the
atrical season ii is rarely that one sees
an audience TO compare in size with that
which assembled last night at Glen Echo
for the purpose of witnessing the Jaxon
Opera Company's production of Faust"
Not only did the everlasting popularity
OF Gounod's lyric drama contribute to the
crowd present, but interest IN the initial
offering of new organization did it's
share toward packing the lower benches
and filling the upper ones In the big am
phitheater. The gathering was demon
strative one, too, and more than once
showed its willingness to forgive small
faults and applaud small virtues No
combination could have asked more IA
vorable auspices under which to open a
hot-weather season.
There is perhaps no single opera in the
entire standard repertoire that has such
following as Faust" Powerful in its
dramatic force, the piece abounds in mu-
sic tRat has sufficient lightness to at
tract the ear and enough stability TO hold
1t. One can whistle Gounod without fear
of injuring his tongue and yet not feel
ashamed of doing so. In the Language
of Love- THE Soldiers Chorus" The
Jewel Song" and dozen other musical
gems make the opera an excellent choice
for ambitious presentation.
The Jaxon Company can hardly be said
to equal that which preceded H. though
fully as strong in many points The cos
TUNES and scenery are good the chorus
large, the effects well attained. and vet
none In so notable degree as was the
case with the Parry Company Certain
roughnesses noted last night, however.
were largely due 10 nervousness and un-
familiarity that will have ceased TO ex-
ist by this evening. There are manyGea-
pable vocalists in the aggregation. and
the whole affair is5of sufficient excellence
10 give great promise for the future. The
acting Is of the usual operatic variety.
Payne Clark was seen last night in the
title role of the piece and scored heavily.
Though he cannot be said to look the
part, he sings IL with q rich tenor that
achieves without apparent effort the most
pleasing effects. VIII p. Carleton makes
a good Mephistopheles and won a hearty
round of applause. at one time for his
scene with Valentine. That character
is assumed by Wipfred Gof. whose fine
voice is heard to advantage both in the
opening solo and lin that preceding his
death. John Reade as Wagner. and
Bertha Lehman. as Siebel. do fairly well,
while Mile. Diard pleases as Marguerite
and looks too pretty 10 be anything short
of a American girl, despite her uncon-
vincinS nom de theatre. Louise Engers
Martha has the merit of unconvention-
ality and brought much hearty laughter
for its quaintness and quiet humor
The orchestra was at its best last night
and did some very effective work. The
chorus, too, sang with volume and spirit,
bringing out the three ensemble numbers
with force and distinctness. The pro-
duction is. on the whole, decidedly good
at the price, and the company may look
forward to a long and profitable season
here.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Judge Scott Is OFF on His Annual
Vacation.

Vacation.
Last Saturday was the last time for
several weeks Judge Scott will appear on
the bench at the Police Court, as he has
left the city on his annual leave. Dur
ing his stay at Mountain Lake Park his
place will be filled by Judge Mills.
Alfred Contee, colored, will have to ex-
plain to the judge of the Police Court
why he took dozen bananas from James
Guopi, an Italian fruit vender. Contee
told the policeman who arrested him that
he had bought the fruit.
George S. Fischer made such threaten
ing promises to his wife, Henrietta Fisch-
err that Judge Mills thought it necessary
to incarcerate Fischer in Jail for sixty
days, that his anger may have time to
cool.
Thomas Hassett wanted to play police
man. and in completing the character
found 1t necessary to borrow a baton
from officer Joseph S. Johnson. His
amusement cost him just $40. He chose
to go to jail for thirty days instead.
Mary Franklin asked Judge Mills yes
terday to excuse William Bryon, color
ed man, who assaulted her on Sunday.
The court did not think itself justified
in so doing and imposed a fine of s5
upon Johnson.

Saratoga, Aug. 1.-Racing was resumed
today over a slow track owing to the
heavy rain of the morning 1t was
raining at the time to start, but the
crowd was unusually large. The sport
was fair, with three favorites successful.
The handicap at mile, which promised
to be the event of the day, was ruined by
scratches. OF the four that remained in
the race Poetess was made 9-to-20 fa-
vorite. All four were very bad actors.
and it took twenty-five minutes to get
them away. Tmperator got away flying
four lengths before Fiament. who was
six lengths before Poetess, with Sir
Vassar several lengths back. The others
could never get up to Imperator, though
Poetess made upa tremendous amount of
ground
Ways and Means was 6-to-5 favorite
in the first race, with Parker Bruce a
strong second choice, having been backed
from 4 to / to II to s. The favorite
landed the money for his hackers, Effort
