SOME QUEER CURES.
Anonymous Letters, Freezing, Bees aud

Other Unusual Remedies.
One physician has discovered n new
use for the anonymous letter. He has
observed that in cases of hysteria.
melancholia, rheumatism, etc. pa-
tients have sometimes been cured by
violent and sudden shock. That
fact being established the doctor said
to himself, ''why not shock my pa
tients into good healthf' and since the
idea occurred to him his life has been
not only profitable but entertaining.
HE suits the shock to the case. but
says that he has had better re suits
from anonymous letters than from any
other method. A few carefully con
structed letters full OF innuendo, abuse
and threats of injury will give Il pa.
Iient an absorbing interest in life.
He will forget his ailments. and that
Is II long step toward recovery. Incl
dentaly the treatment may make things
interes ting for the family of the con.
valescent, but that's detail. The ply
stefan who invented the treatment
SAYS that results have been most graz.

ST. LOUIS REVISED SCHEDULE.
President Robson Says Louisville
Will Have Many Sunday Games

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 30.-President
Frank De Haas Robson of the st. Louis
Base Bali Club arrived in this city today
and at once began active prepara tions for
the coming season for St. Louis. He today
gave out a revised schedule for the St
Louis club. which makes changes from the
Washington schedule of last Saturday as
follows:
ST. Louis at home-With Cleveland. April
10, 16, %; July 6, S. o; October l. With
Cincinnati. May Il; September 7, S, .; Oc-
tober S. 10. IL.
st. Louis. abroad-At Boston, July Is, 10,
30 September 10, IL. Is, 10. At Chicago,
April FL. June TO- IL, July 4, 4; September
3: October 10. AT Cincinnati, May 3, 4, 6,
T. IS; August 6, %
President Frank De Haas Robson stated
tonight that the claim made by the Louis
vile cub people that they had been un-
justly deprived of Sunday dates at home
was incorrect in many particulars. He
stated that in the movement of the eastern
clubs on their western trips number of
Sunday games can be easily arranged by
reason of the open Sundays in the Louis
Vile schedule at home
This is likewise true of the sectional
be found that the Louisville club will have
its full share of Sunday games this sea-
son. He stated emphatically that there is
no desire on the part of the league mag
mates to treat the Louisville club unfairly
in this respect. and that the great roar
coming out of Louisville over its alleged
ill-treatment has but little foundation
Mr.. F. De Haas Robson has been warmly
welcomed by representative citizens of st.
