Boston. Fob. 10-- This city is at pres ent in the midst of an excitement be- yond anything that 1t has experienced in recent years.
 old and young. rich and poor. all seem to have become beside themselves over an individual who was a stranger to Boston until a few days ago.
 The man. who has created all this turmoil is L. T. Cooper. of Dayton, Ohio, who is at present introducing his preparations in this city for tho first time.
 Cooper is 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 other cities that pre- ceded the young man were of the most Startling nature, many of the leading daiiies going so far as to state that he had cured in public places deafness of years standing with one of his preparations. Physicians generally contradicted this statement. claiming the thing to be impossible, but the facts seemed to bear out the state ment that Cooper actually, did so.
 In consequence people fioclked to him by thosuands. and his preparations sold like wild-fro.
 Many of these stories were regarded as fictitious In Boston and until Cooper actually reached this city little attention was paid to them. Hardly had the young man arrived. however, than he began demonstrations, as he calls them, in public. and daily met people afflicted with deafness, and with e single application of one of his preparations actually made deaf peo- pie hear again.
 One of those treated a. day or two ago, was Patrick Mclaughlin, well- known grocer of Cambridge, who, in answer to question by reporter said:
 "Yes, 1t Is true that my hearing has been restored by Mir. Cooper. have been deaf for twenty years, and ii seems so wonderfully strange to be able to hear again that have not yet become accustomed to the change. In years past I had been to leading spe- cialists both in this country and iu Europe, who had failed to help me and I had long ago given up all hope
 "when Mir. Cooper came to Boston I went to him merely as joke, and expected to have some fun at his ex- pense, for I really did not think he could do anything for me. However. the joke is on me, and am truly glad of 1t. now hear perfectly, and you can publish the news to the world If YOU want to, for I think others ought to know about this man Cooper and what he Is doing. do not know how to thank him enough for what he has done for ma."
 Statements of this character have been made by others, and it seems to be an established fact that Cooper's work is genuine.

 For forms sake a few dispositions had been taken. for this was an un- usual event, specially atrocious crime, the murder os a foreign envoy at the Court of the Queen of England and at the hand of the Premier Peer of
 The Cardinal de Moreno, envoy-in- chief of His Majesty the King of Spain. had given the matter a political sig nincance. In the name of his royal master he had demanded judgment on that most monstrous felony, and the exercise of the fuil rigour of the law. The Duke of Wessex had been a rival suitor for the hand of the Queen of England and he had--presumabiy-- fully removed successful diplomatist who threatened to thwart the projects And thus Wessex was arraigned for treason as well as for murder, and the indictment set forth the depositions of my lord Cardinal and those of his ser- want PasquaIe. all of which His Grace had declined to peruse. He knew that these statements were lies, guessed well enough how his enemies would heap proof upon proof to bolster up his own brief confession. f1iS 6uinSHce nad maue sworn statement that he heard angry voices 'twixt Don Miguel and His Grace some little time before the Marquis was found dead.

There had been a deadly quar- rel, and though this did not aggravate the case 1t helped to establish the facts l if public opinion was like to sway the judges or if disbelief in wessex's guilt was too firmly rooted in the minds of l his peers.
 The indictment was a masterpiece; well could the Solicitor General pride himself on the perfection of the docu- ment.
 A dull, oppressive silence had fallen upon this vast concourse of people. In- terest, which was at fever-pitch. had forcibly to be kept in check, but now as the Clerks final words echoed feebly through the vast hall, great sigh of eager excitement rose from the entire multitude.
 Everything so far had been but pre- | liminary. the somewhat dull. lengthy prologue of the coming .palpitating drama, But at last the curtain was about to rise on .the first act. and the chief actor was ready to step upon | the stage.
 Already from afar loud murmurs and excited cries proclaimed the approach | of the prisoner.
 He hath arrived from the Tower whispered the Drentices to one an. other.
 The distant murmurs grew in volume then came nearer and nearer. Al neclks were 'craned to see the Duke ar. rive, and even the repeated calls of tht Sergeant-at-Arms demanding silence were now left unheeded.
 Whispers passed from lip to ear Comments and conjectures flew througf the crowd. Was not this the most in. teresting moment of this interestins day?

EMPTY HOUSES IN LONDON.

Fifty Thousand of Them at Present
Said to BE Lacking Tenants.
Fifty thousand empty houses In Lon
don John Burns made this startling
announcement in the house of commons
recently, says Tit-Bits. Large as this
number is there are those who believe
it is under rather than over the mark.
A remarkable change has taken place
during the past five or six years.
Whereas, formerly landlords were mas
tiers of the situation, tenants have now
the whip hand In nearly every district
and are offered all manner of induce
ments to take houses.
1t is not long since that a premium
or what amounts to the same thing,
key money'-was demanded by prop
erty owners in some parts of London.
Today numbers of such men will act
ually allow tenants a discount, which
consists in the case of small property
of the expenses of removal up to FL,
or else of so many weeks occupation
free. Usually no rent is required for
the first fortnight, but in certain To-
calities the competition between prop
erty owners is so keen that the period
in some cases is one month, making the
discounts about e. Is or e. 5s.
A more curious bait is free insur-
ance. One company gratuitously in
sures each of Its tenants against fire;
while another, besides safeguarding
the householder against this conting-
ency, relieve him of apprehension re-
specting any damage to his furniture
by lightning or food.
Certain separate charges have also
been swept away, particularly in the
case of fats, which, it is said, are now
drug In the market. Some landlords,
for instance, made one for the clean
ing of the common staircase, this, with
the extra" for gas, amounting to
about is Cd per week. The Is pence
was really rent, and the reason 1t was
not called such was partly to evade
payment of rates. When-this is an
actual Casa man owned about fifty
flats and returned their rent as Is
pence per week each less than it really
was, his assessment was considerably
lower than it ought to have been, and
consequently he did not pay his due
proportion of rates. But, of late Eek
tras" have frequently been cut to the
amount formerly set down as rent"
