COOPER ARRIVES
Young Man Who Created Sensa. ton Throughout East Now
 in Chicago
FRIEND OF THE POOR

Chicago, Oct. 20.-L. T. Cooper, the man who has created sensation throughout the east, and who is rap. idly acquiring national reputation I arrived in Chicago yesterday.
 Cooper has made a fortune within the past few years estimated at sev- eral millions, by the sale of two prep arations, which are claimed to be very unusual, and which are said to ac- complish remarkable results.
 Cooper spends his time travelling from city to city introducing these l remedies, and in this manner he ha acquired the fortune he now possess es.
 Cooper is said to be very remark able character and a man with ec- centric ideas. One of his beliefs is that a certain part of his income should be devoted to charitable work. and he is said to give thousands of dollars to the poor in each city that he visits.
 His charitable work is original, as he is continually devising new meth ods of making money give the most pleasure and relief possible
 The most remarkable feature of Cooper's work is what is known as his "Three-minute removal of deaf ness.' In cities visited by him with Tn the past year, he has appeared nightly before large audiences and offered to make any one hear within less than three minutes if they would come up on the stage. Reports from St Louis, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, De- tro1t, Cleveland, Louisville and other cities, seem to indicate that Cooper actually did as he claimed
 Each night he is said to have re- moved, before thousands of people cases of deafness in about three min utes' time with one of his prepara- tons. The accounts of his work ap- peared in all of the leading dailies of the east, and people have flocked to him from all parts of the country.
 The sale of his preparation is said to reach enormous proportions within week after Cooper arrives in a city. Whether he will be as succeccful in Chicago as elsewhere remains to be seen.

He Had No Choice,

The wife of dynamo tender went to haberdasher's to buy necktie for her husband. She selected brilliant red one, ready made, whereupon the young and inexperienced salesman, with compassion for the future owner, was moved to remark:
 Excuse me, missus, is this tie for your husband?
 ''It is," replied the woman.
 Don't you think he'd rather have some other color? I'm afraid he won't wear this red tie"
 "Oh, yes, he will!' said the woman firmly. Hell have to-he's dead."- London Answers.

GsSoies nun to SIey, Wnere TIC De- livers an Address.
 Nicksburg, Miss. Oct 21.-President Roosevelt received an enthusiastic wei come when he arrived in this city from his hunting trip in Louisiana. The principal streets of the town were a mass of colors, and pictures of dhe chief magistrate were seen on all sides.
 Mir. Roosevelt was met at Delta by a reception committee of 100 citizens A drive over the city and through the National cemetery ended at Court house square, where the president de- livered an address.
 "We got three bears, six deer, one wild turkey, twelve squirrels, one duck, one opossum and one wildcat We ate them all except the wildcat. and there were times when we almost felt as if we could eat it.
 This was President Roosevelt's sum- mary of the results of his hunt on Bayou Tensas and Bear lake before leaving Stamboul for this city.
 I've Got Three Bears"
 The president came to the home of Leo Shields on full gallop, and, ac- cOmpanied as he was by about a dog en of hunting companions, all mount ed and attired in hunting garb, the calvalcade presented a tableau as pie turesque as it was animated
 The president is slightly more bronz- ed than when he entered the wilder ness fifteen days ago, but notwith- standing this fact and the additional circumstances that his skin as well as his clothes bear evidence of contact with the cane and other brush he was never in better spirits in his life.
 "Yes, we got three bears" he add a pretty good record I am perfectly satisfied"
 You might add" interjected one of the Metcalf brothers. who have been the presidents principal guides throughout the hunt, that we hunted q country of vast extent, in which there were only five bears all told"
 Was the possum good?" the presi dent was asked.
 Absolutely the best dish we had, except bear liver" he responded, with relish
 The president stood on the lawn in front of Shields house, the center of a group containing Shields and several guests. In the distance were gathered the negro hunters. cooks, teamsters and messengers. while the horses stood in the yard and the dogs lay around licking their lacerated bodies, the re- suit of long chaSes and contact with | wild hogs, wildcats and other wild thin0S

The president said his health had been perfect and his appetite good. With the exception of a@day or two lost on account of rain he had been in the saddle every day from dawn to dusk. He said he never in his life had finer sport The arrival of the party brought out the fact that q third bear had been killed on Friday by one of the Osborn brothers, when it was in fierce fight with the dogs.
 The bear slain by the president was killed on Thursday. and the killing was witnessed by one of the McKen- zies and Alex Ennolds They say the presidents hearing was sportsmanlike. The animal had been chased by the dogs for several hours. the president following all the time When at last they came within hearing distance the president dismounted threw off his coat and dashed into the canehrake. going to within twenty paces of the beast. The dogs were coming up rap idly. with the presidents favorite. Rowdy. in the lead The bear had stopped tn bid defiance to the dogs when the president sent q fatal bullet from his rifle through the animals lungs. With the little life left in it the bear turned on the dogs. The presi- dent then lodged a second bullet be- tween the bears shoulders. breaking its neck.
 Other members of the party soon came up. and the president was SO re- joiced at his success that he embraced each of his companions. Ennolds said. MT. President, you are no tender foot"
 The president responded by giving EnnOlds twenty dollar note.

Ritual of Modern Surgery.

The scene at an operating table in one
of our hospitals now would make one OF
the old masters of surgery stare. The
operator himself and all his staff are
dressed like the old holy priests of Solo
mons Temple. wearing white caps and
gowns. with the nurses standing around
like priestesses all in srotiess white, while
every one about the table has gone
through as many additions as BELTS the
occasion OF a bloody sacrifice under the
auspices of the immaculate goddess of
cleanliness. A minute and elaborate
ritual has teer observed Of sterilizing
erything-towels, threads. needles, for
ceps. instruments and what not. while
the floor itself is made of glass OF glazed
tiles. rather than of wood. The surgeon
himself does not venture to cut the vic
tim till he has put on his stertlized gloves,
because he cannot possibly clear his own
fingers enough. Should any onlooker take
his hand out of his Locfet to reach for
the gaping wound. he would be elected
instanter for spelling the whole perform
ance with his defiling touch.
The results of this vigilant war against
microbes are simply marvellous, and can

like myself, can remember the surgery
