Engaged to Be Married.

Miss Bedcll, who is engaged to be married

equal spirit in defending her course

Mr. Rogers, who is a very fine organist
When l asked permission of the church
board to allow him the use of the organ
they readily consented.
Miss Cheshire, l think has acted alto
gether too hastily in the matter. l am will

board thinks that will end the trouble. but

Demurred Rival Organist.

Right then and there Miss Cheshire OBJ

pretty head. she announced that she would
leave the church forever rather than let
Mr.. Rogers, a rival organ:st, come into the
church and give lessons on the instrument.
Miss Cheshire asked the other members of
the Rosebud Society if they intended to
stand by and see her Inundated. Many of
them Immediately took sides with her and
left the church. The row spread and the
congregations of the two churches took
sides
Il think it was simply outrageous for
Miss Bedell to bring the organist of the
Episcopal church into our church." said
Miss Cheshire today. 1T was an insult to
me, and | will not return to the church as
long as she has anything to do with it, l
have devoted twenty years of MY tine as
organist to the church. and | think it a
shame for IN outs. to be allowed to come
in and do as he p!eases. While | have no OBJ
lection to Mr.. Rogers personally, l do not
think he has any right to use the organ of
our church, nor do l think it was very nice
for Miss BedeI to take him there"

COOPER'S WORK
Has Aroused Great Excitement Among All Ages and Con-
 dili0ns of People
GIVES MUCH TO POOR

Chicago, 23 This city is at pres ent in the midst of an excitement be- yOnd anything that it has experienced in recent years.
 Old and young, rich and poor, all seem to have become beside them selves over an individual who was stranger to Chicago until two weeks ago.
 The man who has created this tur moil is L. T. Cooper of Dayton, O., who is at present introducing his preparations in this city for the first time.
 Cooper is a man about thirty years of age who has acquired a fortune within the past two years by the sale of some preparations of which he is the owner.
 Reports from eastern cities that preceded the young man here were of the most startling nature. Many of the leading dailies going so far as to state that he had cured in public places deafness of years standing with one of his preparations. The physicians of the east contradicted this statement, claiming the thing to be impossible, hut the facts seemed to bear out the statement that Cooper actually did so.
 In consequence people flocked to him by thousands, and his prepara- tions sold like wildfire.
 Many of these stories were regard ed as ficticious in Chicago, and until Cooper actually reached this city lit tie attention was paid to them. Hardly had the young man arrived, however, than he began demOnstra- tiOns, as he calls them, in public, and daily met people afflicted with deaf ness, and with 9 single application of one of his preparations actually made deaf people hear again.
 In addition to this work Cooper advanced the theory that stomach trouble was the foundation of nine out of ten diseases, and claimed to have a preparation that would re- store the stomach to working order, and thus get rid of such troubles as rheumatism and affections of the hlulogS duu LlEcl III dpuuI t"o weeks time.
 This statement seems to have been borne out by the remarkable results obtained through the use of this preparation, and now all Chicago is apparently mad over the young man.
 His headquarters resemble a yer itable stampede. Thousands of people are visiting him each day, and the druggists are selling his medicines in enormous quantities. What seems to make Cooper still more popular is the fact that he practices extensive charitable work, and has already dispensed small fortune among the poor of this city,
 How long the tremendous interest in. Cooper will last is hard to es- innate. At present there seems to be no sign of let-up. Physicians claim it to be q fad that will die out as soon as Cooper leaves.
 In justice to him, however it must be said that he already seems to have accomplished a great deal for the sick of this city with his prepara- | tions.

PLUMEESTATEHEARlNG
Arguments Given Before Judge
 Lowe iD Probate Court.

An application for an order for dis tribution of some $1,700 an equity of the estate of the late David M. Plume in the estate of his father David S. Plume was argued before Judge Lowe in the probate court to-day, Colonel Burpee appearing for the estate, At torney Pierce for Jeanette Hancock of New York and Attorney Bronson of New Haven for Frank c. Plume of Milford, Pa. The question the court was called upon to determine was whether or not Jeanette Hancock was entitled to the money.
 In his will David M. Plume decreed that all of his personal estate, con- sisting of horses, carriages and har- ness should go to his father and the balance to Jeanette Hancock. If either survived the other all was to go to the survivor, in case both died all should go to his mother, Emily C. Plume.
 For the purpose of quickly settling up the estate the administrator, David s. Plume, had it declared insolvent and then a settlement was effected with Jeanette Hancock and in return she gave a paper to MT Plume in which she declared that for valu- able consideration she released him ] personally and as administrator from all claims she had against him as such and particularly of all claims she was then possessed of by virtue of the will of David M. Plume. The as- sets of the estate were about $16,00O and 1t was said this morning that | Jeanette Hancock received about S5,- l 900 in settlement of her claims. No more was heard about Jeanette Han cocks connection with the estate of David M. Plume until after the death Of his father, when it was discovered that he left two life insurance policies which he had been carrying for forty years. The beneficaries were his wife if she survived him, their children if she did not, and he had deceased also therefore, according to Attorney Pierce, David M. Fumes interest in his fathers life insurance reverted tC Jeanette Hancock. Had she released the estate of Mr Plume from all claims she may have had in future as well as those she had at the time she did release it from them, she would have no further claim upon it. But it seems that was the loophole through which claims on the life in surance policy of David S. Plume could be presented by Jeanette Han cock, hence the application of the ad- ministratOr de bonus non Attorney T. F. Carmody for the distribution of David M. Fumes interest in his fath- CTS life policies, some $1,700.
 It was allowed that at the time MI Plume settled with Jeanette Hancock neither he nor she knew that in case she survived David M. Plume she would have an interest in the policies She did not know of the existence oi the policies and MT Plume did not know, in his ignorance of the law that it was his place to inform her She presumed that she had received practically all of the estate that was due her under the will.
 Judge Lowe reserved decision.
