Cooper Has Stirred Up People Of
That City
EASTERN REPORTS were VERIFIED
YOUNG MANS MEDICINES HAVE
EVIDENTLY DONE ALL THAT
WAS CLAIMED.

ST. LOUIS Jan. 29.-This city is at
present in the midst of an excitement
beyond anything that it has experience
ed in recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, all
seem to have become beside them
selves over an individual who was a
stranger to ST. Louis until two weeks
ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoil is L. T. Cooper, president of
the Cooper Medicine company, Of Day.
ton, Ohio, who is at present introduce
ing his preparations in this city for the
first time
Cooper is man about thirty years
of age who has acquired 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 nightly cured in pub
lie places, deafness of years standing
with one of his preparations. The
physicians of the east contradicted this
statement, claiming the thing to be
impossible, but the facts seemed to
bear out the statement that Cooper
actually did so.
In consequence people flocked to
sold like wildfire.
Many of these stories were regarded
'as fictitious in ST. Louis, and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid to them. Hardly
had the young man arrived, however,
when he began demonstrations as he
calls them, in public. and daily met
people afflicted with deafness, and
with single application of one of his
preparations actually made deaf people
hear again.
In addition to this work Cooper ad-
vanced the theory that stomach trou-
BILE was the foundation of nine out of
ten diseases, and claimed to have
preparation that would restore the
stomach to working order, and thus
get rid of such troubles. as rheuma-
tism and affections of the kidneys and
liver in about two weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of this prep
aration and now all ST. Louis is APP
parently mad over the young man.
His Headquarters resemble verit-
able 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 pfac-
tices extensive charitable work, ana
has already dispensed a small fortune
among the poor of this city.
How long the tremendous interest
in Cooper will last is hard to estimate
At present there seems to be no sign
of a let-up. Physicians claim it to be
fad that will die out as soon as
Cooper leaves.
In Justice to him, however, II must
be said that he already seems to nave
accomplished a great deal for the SICK
of this city with his preparations

MINORITY REPORT IS ADVERSE
DEMOCRATS EXPLAIN ATTITUDE
Az CALLING ATTENTION TO
SOME FACTS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. J. Hill,
E. H. Hartman and the republican
policy of protection are assailed in the
minority adverse report on the Lit
tauer compromise ship subsidy bill,
which was filed in the house today by
Representative Spight of Mississippi
The report is signed by Mr.. ,Spight and
the other democratic members Of the
house committee on merchant marine
and fisheries, Messrs. GOuldin, Sherley
and Patterson.
After reviewing the proposed subsidy
to South America and Oriental lines.
the report says :
1T is not pretended that the pro-
posed appropriations are intended
merely to compensate for services rem
dered, but admittedly the larger part
is pure gratuity. The objection is
fundamental, and no amount of sophis-
try or volume of statistics can obscure
it. Were it limited to payments for
able for that purpose, though not as
real aid to merchant marine"
The report discussed the two pro-
posed lines which the bill proposes to
substitute between the Pacific Coast
and the Orient, saying:
But when it is recalled that at Sc
attic north of Cape Mendicino, is the
existing steamship line owned by ].
J. Hill, and south of it, at San Fran
cisco, is the Hartman line, the Pa
cific Mail, we may begin to suspect
that there is a niger in the wOodpile.
Who are j. J. Hill and f. H. Harrl
man? The former is the great rail-
road magnate of Northern Securities
notoriety, who tried to merge vast
interests in violation of the law and
was only prevented by proceedings in
court. Hartman is another leader of
corporate wealth who controls more
in the world. Is it hard to guess who
under this bill will pocket $1,400,000
of the peoples money!"
1t is then stated by the report that
the proposed line from the Pacific
Coast to Chile would be a mere eX-
tension of the Hartman line to Pana-
ma, and the general principle of gov
ernmental subsidy is attacked. The
report declares that governmental aid
of this sort can never result in a great
merchant marine, and urges the repeal
of legislation which binders such ship
building in this country.

Mortimer Howard. the tenor who will appear at the concert to be given on Thursday evening. April IS. at the Buckingham Music hall by St Johns Musical association, is one of the the best known concert soloists in Ameri- ca. The New York Journal of Music pays him this compliment: Mortimer Howard possesses one of the most beautiful voices we have in New York city" On recent appearance the New York Evening Sun said of him: "SIr Howard sang Hendelssohn's Sorrows of Death with an even, strong tenor" The Scranton Repub- lican says: MT Howard charmed his hearers as no other tenor soloist in this city for some time. His voice is remarkably clear and even, combining rare sweetness and power. His pla- nissimo passages were perfectly in toned and his pronunciation Is a model for all vocal students. The Master Singer says of him: "Mr Howard is the perfect type of the ro- bust or dramatic tenor, whose spien- did voice reminds us of the great Fraschini. on account of its force. energy and dramatic accent. and of Giullini on account of it's sweetness and tenderness" The exchange Of dollar seats began this morning at the Buckingham pharmacy and will con tinue until Monday morning.
