One swallow does not make a sum mer, neither does one comedian make
 a minstrel show. Managers of the old school used to contend that one real actor, and fifteen or sixteen sticks. and a band of ten pieces Git was often eighD was sufficient for a minstrel and that the public would be amply
 satisfied, and history proves the truth of their contention, for the public did accept them, whether they were satis- l fled or not
 But there has been a vast cnange in the last few years. the day of the one

same trouble for three years I wanted to reply-'Tommyrot. madam; both yourself and your maid are suf- fering from too little fresh air and too much food but I didn't. I sold her the medicine and let it go at that. If it makes her a well woman she will be positive it relieved her cf nervous trouble As a matter of fact there isn't a single ingre- dient in Cooper's New Discovery in tended to act on the nervous system. Get the digestive organs working properly and the nerves will right themselves.
 Among New Workers who have be- come convinced that Cooper's medi cine is all that is claimed is Mr. Frank Parkinson, of No. 207 Butler street, Brooklyn. a prominent con tractor. who, when interviewed Thurs day, said: "A few weeks ago 1 be- gan to hear of Cooper and his ideas about stomach trouble. Next. one or two friends of mine told me that his medicine had done a great deal for them. Twelve days ago I came here, saw cooper ana got lne HeulClne- Today I am perfectly well. at least I feel so. l sleep like a boy, can eat anything. and have no more rheuma tism or stomach trouble. I no longer have any gas on my stomach and feel as I did many years ago. No one could be more astonished by these facts than myself. They are remark able, but true. This man undOubt- edly has a wonderful medicine. When I came in here twelve days ago l was all bent over with rheumatism. Today I can walk perfectly erect, and feel as though l could run five miles.
 T have lived in Brooklyn 3S years. A great many people know me and can vouch for this statement. I feel so well I cannot believe I am the same man who dragged himself in here two weeks ago."
 Cooper's New Discovery, the re- markable medicine which has excited so much comment in New York, is now on sale at leading drug stores everywhere throughout the United States. Ask your druggist for it.

l.. T. Cooper, the man who claims that Americans have weak stomachs and who is meeting the public of this city, seems to be attracting an unus- uaI amount of attention.
 Each day New Workers are calling to hear about his theories and medi- cine in greater numbers, and for the past few days his headquarters has presented a novel sight.
 A remarkable feature to an on locker, is the varied types of people whom Cooper is attracting. They range from prosperous-looking busi- ness men and fashionably dressed women to day lSborers and their plainly dressed wives. All rub el- bows in common cause.-the pursuit of health, or. as Cooper puts it, sound digestion"
 In an interview Thursday after noon, when the striking difference in the various visitors was called to his attention, Cooper said: Why not? Because a man has a million dollars that doesn't make his stomach any better On the contrary, sitting at desk all day. riding back and forth in an automobile and stuffing himself full of rich food will put his entire system out of order as sure as fate. Most of the men and women of this class whom l meet tell me they have been seeing nerve specialists. The welI-to-do seem to attribute all their troubles to nerves. It's not their nerves. It's modern conditions that have produced the thousands of half sick people among rich and poor alike in this city, and every other city in America. It's broken-down over worked, stuffed-up digestive or gans-thats where the trouble is.
 T am going to make a lot of peo- pie realize these facts before l leave New York Many who are calling now have been sent here by friends.

with the murder of his wife, Elizabeth

turned last night from a trip to New
York state and brought with him n
colored man who is held for the coro-
ness While the local police refuse,
on account of strict orders from the
coroner. to give out any information
regarding the matter, there is no
doubt that the man brought in last
night Is Miller and that he is held
for investigation by the coroner,
which will in all probability result in
his indictment for murder

vile.

The greatest surprise OF the present
difficulties between the New Haven
road and the demands made upon II
by its employees. came yesterday when
Samuel Higgins. general manager Of
the road. announced to the represen-
tattves of the national body of ma
chlnists. boilermakers and their help
ors, that the road plans to close the
local shops at Spring street and send
all repair work to the shops at Read
vile.
After this announcement Mr.. Iig-
gins, according TO one OF the men at
the conference. stated that there
would be no more need for the men
who have been discharged either at
piece work or any other wage scale at
present. The audience then ended.
Last night the local unions held
Music halls 10 see what could be done
about keeping the Spring street shops
open and though no formal -nte was
taken II was decided to appeal to the
New Haven Business Mems associa-
tion and the Chamber OF Commerce
to see If the road could not be pre-
vailed upon TO use the shops here.
The closing of the Spring street
shops will throw 500 men out of en-
ploymcnt, most of whom have been
temporarily laid off and will mean
that these men and their families win
leave the city Many OF them have
bought homes in New Haven which
they have partially paid for and the
announcement that the road will do
no more repair work here comes as
bad news.
At Rcadyillc for a long time the
employees have worked -four days a
week, eight hours n day. From now
on in order to do the extra work they
are to be on duty five days each week
