Whether ii was on the train or in the
boat, he invariably looked over SCOTS
shoulder when he began to write on the
margin of his morning paper, says the
New York Mail and Express. Scott
didn't seem to mind his impertinence
and inquisitiveness at first, but when
the stock market was all on the jump
and his nerves were trying to keep time
to the beat of his thoughts, he noticed
for the first time, perhaps, that the
pair of eyes in the seat at his side stole
sly glances to see what he was writ
ing. He attributed the curiosity for the
first few mornings to the fact that the
news of his success on the Street"
had become known to all of the COM
muteYs. Three days in succession the
same dapper young man sat at his left
in the train seat coming in, and as sure
as fate the same individual happened
to pop into the seat next him on the
ferryboat crossing the North river.
But Scott continued figuring and writ
ing on the margin of the newspapers
and the thing might have gone on in
definitely had he not felt the breath
of the young man on his cheek, so close
had his eagerness to see brought him.
"Pshaw," said Scott, when one of his
friends warned him of his suspicious.
HE is just curious-that is all. A
harmless busybody."
The same man occupied the seat on
SCOTS right yesterday morning, and
the broker, glancing out of the corner
of his eye, noticed that harmless busy
body was slyly drinking in what he
had just placed on the imprinted por-
ton of his newspapers. Turning one
of the latter over rather quickly, Scott
found a thoroughly clean margin, and
he wrote upon this in immense letters
a single word. The face of the busy
body turned crimson, and he hastily
left his seat and rushed from the
cabin.
How did you do it?' inquired several
of SCOTS friends, who had noticed the
hasty exit of the curious man.
Easy enough" replied Scott. 81
just wrote this on the margin" and he
held up to view the newspaper on
which was scrubbed in bold hand:

NO GUESSWORK.

No intelligent person would think of 60
Ing 60 a dentist to have the eyes treated.
An ocuiist would be promptly consulted.
because he understands such diseases.
Many people, however, do not give the
same intelligent thought TO the treatment
OF chronic diseases These diseases consti-
tute a specially just as distinctly as do
diseases OF the eye. and the busy practic-
ing physician who is often consulted has
not had the experience necessary to prop
er3y treat them. 1t is not because they
are so difficult TO cure that so many peo-
pie afflicted with a chronic disease all
their life. but because they do not go to
the proper physician for treatment
In my extensive practice which is
larger Than that of any other specialist in
the United States. 1 have had thousands
of patients who had been treated by many
doctors, not one of whom understood the
case, although they were prominent and
capable physicians. AS a consequence they
had been experimental upon and given
treatment In no way suited to the case
The result was years Of suffering which
could have been avoided.
The experience which I have acquired
in devoting myself exclusively to the
treatment Of chronic diseases for twenty
years has equipped me perfectly and
there is no guess work when l give my
opinion regarding a case. I give each
case closest study. and my treatment is
specially prepared 10 meet all conditions
for although two cases may appear quite
similar, the chances are that there is
some special complication which needs
careful attention.
BY treating each case on it's own merits
and not relying upon any plan OF ready
made treatment, have become the most
successful specialist Of the day.

science, and my patients get the most ex-

I,. H:..t
Iowa Gree.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Washington April 9.--The heroic bronze
equestrian statue of Major General John
A. Logan, which rests on an imposing
bronze pedestal in Iowa Circle, was un-
veiled today in the presence of the Presi-
dent, the Cabinet, the widow and rela-
tives of the gallant soldier, many of his
comrades in arms and a vast multitude
of people. The sculptor, Franklin Sim
mons, who was knighted by King Hum
bert, of Italy as tribute to the artistic
character of the work, also was present.
Master George Tucker, a grandson of the
warrior. pulled the unveiling cord at 2:45
o'clock. The folds of the large Ameri-
can flag fell away and the dashing figure
of BLACK Jack" Logan seated on his
charger stood revealed amid a roar of
cheering that echoed far down the inter-
secting streets and avenues.
The President and members of the Cab
met had been escorted to the statue by
a military parade under command of Col
onel Francis L. GuentheT, of the Fourth
United States artillery The procession
included detachments from the artillery
and infantry arms of the regular army,
a battalion of marines, and company
Of seamen from the navy yard, a provis-
icnaI regiment of the District of Colum-
bia militia, members Of the Societies OF
the Army of the Tennessee and Army of
the Cumberland and members of the local
Veterans Associations. Mrs. John A.
Logan and other relatives sat upon a
platform at the base of the monument.
The President and his Cabinet and other
distinguished guests occupied a flag
draped stand opposite this platform.
General Grenville M. Dodge, President
of the Army of the Tennessee, presided
over the ceremonies. He paid a high
personal tribute to the dead chieftain
and after the invocation had been offered
by Rev Frank Bristol, introduced the
sculptor, Mr.. Simmons, to the assemblage.
The statue was then unveiled amid great
applause and the Fourth Artillery band
rendered Columbia.
At the moment of the unyeiling a Sec
tion of the Fourth artillery fired ma
tional salute on the White Lot, south OF
the executive mansion.
President Mckinley received an ovation
as he was introduced and it was some
time before he could begin his remarks.
He spoke at some length eulogising Lo-
gan as warrior, patriot and statesman.
The President several times was inter-
rupted by applause and there was a great
outburst Of cheering when he concluded.
The oration was delivered by Senator
Depew, of New York. At the conclusion
of his address Senator Cullom, of Illinois,
read letter from Governor Yates, of Illi-
nois, expressing his regret at his in
ability to attend and paying tribute to
the love and affection in which the mem
ory of Logan was held in his native
State. Rev. j. S. Butler, of this city,
pronounced the benediction. The assem-
blage then dispersed.

ga BAD wEEK FOR FARMERS
Cold Weather, Rain and snow Interfere With
Planting.
(Rv the Assnciated Press

Washington, April 9.-The weather
Bureal has issued the following general
summary of crop conditions;
"The week has been generally cold with
heavy rains in the Atlantic coast dis
tricts lower Missouri Valley and on the
North Pacific coast, and heavy snowfall
over portions of the lower lake region
middle Atlantic States and New England
These conditions have greatly interfered
with farming operations, which are gem
orally late, especially in the central vail
leys and Atlantic coast districts, due in
part to the heavy rains of March.
But little progress with corn planting
has been made since the first of the
month, except in the extreme Southern
districts, where it is nearing completion
in some sections. Slow termination and
poor stands are generally reported from
the Southern States.
Preparations for cotton planting have
been delayed by excessive rains in por-

progress has been made and planting is

When Chief Justice Furches resumed
His seat on the Supreme court bench yes

partook somewhat of the nature of an
