l. I. COOPER TALKS|
pHTLANTHROPlST WILL bE IN SIT. LOUIS FOR THIETN
 DAYS.
Talks of the Medicines thdef "'> Control and Sensation 1h'y
 Made East.

St. Louis. Jan. IL. |. Coop er. or the Great Cooper, as he Is called was seen in his hotel this morning by a reporter and proved to be a comparatively young man. as he is little over thirty years oi age.
 Mir. Cooper is the man who is said to have created sensation in eastern cities by his extensive charitable work and the enormous sale of the two preparations oi which he is the owner. While talk ing his face lights up with a smlle' almost boyish in it's expression, ana he seems very young to have ac- uuired the enormous fortune he is said to Dossess. When asked about his plans for his visit to St. Lotus, he said:
 "I shall remain in this city about four weeks I have come here to ln- froduce my preparations in my usual way and I will give the public ample opportunity to ascertain whether the claims I make for these medicines can be verified.
 'It is one of my beliefs that every successful man should devote a part of his resources in aiding the unfortunate. I rely to a great ex- tent on the public for information concerning fan1ilies or individuals, who are in need, and l will, there fore, be verf grateful to all who will sepd 1Se the name and ad- t"ts.: s'ss: 0N Jpf'''s who are ''7'''
 Upon being asked about the pub lie removals of deafness, which he has made in Pittsburg and other cities Mir. Cooper said: .sl have ap- peared each night in the cities l have visited, before audiences that ranged from two to ten thousand people, and have stated that | would remove in less than three minutes time, deafness of years standing.
 sI have treated in public in this manner oyer hundred people each night. 1 shall do this work Tn St Louis to some extent, and l will then prove whether l am sue cessful or not It will be time to discuss this work after have given one of these demonstrations as my claims would now seem eXtrava- gant.
 "The preparation with which l give these demonstrations is not the one to which I owe my success, as my New Discovery is my principle remedy. This preparation is for the removal of all forms of stomach trouble.
 'I have not yet decided where my headquarters will be while here, but will know within the next twenty-four hours

GENERAL LEE WILL
NOT NAME SPONSOR
COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE
UNITED CONFEDERATE VET
ERANS, WILL NOT AP-
POINT A SPONSOR
This Action is Taken in Difference TO
Resolution Adopted by United
Daughters of the Confed-
eracy at their Meeting.

Gen. Stephen d. Lee, commander
in-chief of the United Confederate
Veterans, stated TO a reporter of the
Dispatch Friday that he would ap-
point no sponsor or maids of honor
for the coming reunion at Richmond.
Gen. Lee said that he had decided to
pursue this course in Difference to the
wishes of the United Dughters of the
Confederacy, as expressed in a reso-
luton adopted at their last annual
convention. 1t will be remembered
that at this meeting the Daughters
made official request that the custom
of appointing sponsors and maids of
honor for the annual reunions be
abolished, giving as a reason therefor
that these sponsors and maids of hon
there was little time or money to be
devoted to the veterans, who were
completely subordinated, when the
purpose of the reunions was origin
ally intended to bring pleasure and
enjoyment to the soldiers who so
gallantly defended the Confederate
cause.
Gen. Lee said that he had not been
officially informed as 10 what action
the different division commanders
would take in regard TO the matter,
but was under the impression that
they would appoint sponsors and
maids of honor for their respective
commands. It is understood that the
division commanders have decided to
sponsors and maids of honor
for the Richmond reunion, as usual,
and that during the progress of the
reunion the veterans will be given
an opportunity to decide by ballot
whether or not the practice shall con-
tinue. The question will be submit
ted to vote, and if the old soldiers
decide that they do not want spon-
sors and maids of honor none will be
appointed for future reunions. If on
