NEWBORN JOY.
LIGHTS Up Features Of
The New Workers.
Amazed al Result Of Work
Done by Cooper.
Tears Of Delight After Three
Minute Experience.

<e,v York, Apr, 5.-Some remarka-
~ demonstrations were given in
D,,h,;c today by L. T. Cooper, who is
pi",roducing for the first time in New
WV the preparations which created
sensation in other cities recently visit
ed by him.
cooner is a remarkable character,
18th peculiar and original ideas, and
.sa announcement of his coming to
Vow York created widespread interest.
AZ a consequence, when it was
learned that he would appear in pub
liz the place selected for his head
quarters was crowded, some coming
merely to get a glimpse of the man
himself others to test his skill in
overcoming disease. AS nearly as
cou1d be learned the facts in regard
~ the demonstration We're these:
At o'clock in the afternoon the
Young man agreed to show what one
and agreed to make any one present
who was afflicted with deafness hear
again in less than three minutes.
There were many deaf people pres
ent and about dozen of these We're
given the demonstration, consisting of
a single application of one of the
Cooper preparations.
The hearing of these people was
then tested after an interval of be-
tween two and three minutes. The
test consisted of questions put to them
in an ordinary conversational tone at
distances varying from five to ten feet.
The results were remarkable in the
extreme. Some of these people who
were treated had been deaf for a num-
her of years. When the first question
was asked, look of amaZement would
spread over their faces and they would
forget to answer the question. AS the
questions were repeated the surprised
look would give way to one of delight.
Many were so affected that they burst
into tears and were scarcely able to
answer the question.
At the request of Mr.. Cooper. ques-
tons were put to them by their
friends, or by various spectators, in an
ordinary tone of voice, and the ques-
tions were readily answered.
In giving an account of these dem
onstrations. Mr.. Cooper said:
There is nothing miraculous about
it. The remedy is only effective in
cases of deafness induced by a
catarrhal condition. Such cases can,
as you see. be relieved at once. 1t does
not follow that a man deaf from, blrth
can be made to hear in three minutes,
or for that matter. in three years.
THE preparation used is not the one
with which | accomplish most. as my
New Discovery, as it is called ana 10
which | owe my success, is Tor the
treatment of all forms of stomach
trouble and the general breaking down
Of the system that follows in the wake
Of diseases of thi:; character.
"The stomach is the seat of great
many troubles; for instance. my
remedy will relieve thousands Of
people of rheumatism in this city,
simply by getting the stomach IN
working order"
Many people seen who We're present
at this demonstration assert positively
that Cooper undoubtedly made these
deaf people hear again.

Official list, showing the number Of

Republican State Committee,
Augusta, Maine, Feb. 20, 1908.
The basis of representation in the
call for the Republican State Conven-
ton to be held at Portland, Thursday,
April 80, 1908, at 100 o'clock p. NJ. for
the purpose of choosing six presi-
Dental electors, also four delegates
at-large and four alternates-at-large
to attend the National Republican
Convention in Chicago, June 10th,
1908, is as follows: each city, town and
plantation will be entitled to one dele
gate and for each rs votes cast for the
Republican candidate for Governor in
1906, an additional delegate. and for
a fraction of 40 votes in excess of IS
votes a further additional delegate.
That there may be no misunder-
standing, the secretary of the COM
mittee has mace classification of
delegates based upon this representa-
ton The town or plantation which
threw IA votes is, under this call, only
entitled to one delegate. In order to
get a second delegate it must have
thrown rs votes for the Republican
candidate for Governor in 1906. The
fraction of 40 votes to give another
delegate. must be in excess of IS votes.
1t is hoped that if any errors are
discovered in the list they will be
promptly reported to the secretary so
that all mistakes may be corrected.

Hunter is eighteen years old and lives

After an abortive effort to trace the
thefts through the office force, the firm
engaged detectives. who went to work
in the establishment. They finally
traced the thefts to Hunter and AL

The boys admitted that they had been

The arrangements are the result of a
conference held yesterday by the Comp
