TYes sir, II Treasury wins that game

morning
Neither can now tell when we viii
play OF the tie which would have been
broken yesterday. but for the rain, but
we will tx the time and place this
afternoon when the commission meets.
This isn't worrying US a great deal. as
The one game can be played out in the
open somewhere. on the White House
Lot If necessary, without any great in
convenience to our treasury, for the
proceeds from all the games in the

games viii be played at the National
Park grounds every day until October

Mr. Thatcher's worried EXPRESSION Is
due TO the fact that if Treasury should
COP the next and last contest with the
GeorEetowr team, a thrce-cornered tie
for the District would ensue. In add

AS SUCCESSFUL EAST
 AS IN THE WEST
Coopers Theories Are Being Rapidly Accepted
 by Eastern People.

L. T. Cooper, whose theory that the human stomach Is the cause of most i'll health and who created a furore in Chicago, St. Louis and other western cities. Is meeting with the same remarkable success with his medicine throughout the east. Cooper has convinced an immense number Of people that his theory is sound and his medicine will do what he claims.
 Perhaps the most interesting fea- lures of the discussion this young man is causing, are the statements made by responsible people who have taken his medicines and have become enthusiastic converts to his beliefs.
 Among statements of this charac. ter, the following, by Mir. August Wittmer. 1049 Rockwell Court, Chi. cago, Is characteristic of the wide spread faith In Cooper, which has grown up in 8 comparatively short time. MT. Wittmer says: q wouldn't take 1000 and be in the condition I was three weeks ago. l was practi- ca1ly an invalid for fourteen years and think had about all of the dis eases known. My stomach was weak, and at times would have an enor.

When lueling was an actual factor in the social order of this country, it had many worthy and notable expo nents. including no less distinguished personages than Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson, Alexander Hamilton, De Witt Clinton, Stephen Decatur and others of the same type, but nowhere on this continent was it so much an establish ed institution as in that peculiarly TO- mantic old city of New Orleans. It was woven into the very fabric of the life of the community, and many a crumbling tombstone in the antiquated creole cemeteries bears grim and sl- lent witness to the fact, though to un derstand the situation more clearly one should breathe, so to speak, the atnoS phere of the period.-Louis J.
