The new theory advanced by l.. T.
Cooper relative TO the human stom-
ach has attracted such widespread
attention that the public in cities
visited by the young man has been
Joined by many physicians in a dis
cussion of his beliefs and medicines
Mr. Cooper says that human health
is dependent almost entirely upon
the stomach. He says that no dis
ease can be conquered without hrst
alternating all stomach disorders. He
further says that. most men and wo-
men of this generation are haH-sick,
owing to degenerate stomachs-, And
lastly, he claims that his New Dis
covery medicine Will rejuyenate the
human stomach in 80 days
Cooper has been travelling from
one city to another, conducting in
each what he calls a campaign of
education. For the past year he has
met the public in the larger cities
of the country, and his success has
been phenomenal. Thousands OF
people have f1ocked TO his headquar-
tiers wherever he has gone, and the
sale Of his medicine has been beyond
anything of the kind ever before wit
messed.
Possibly the most interesting fea-
ture of the attention this young man
has attracted is what his army of
followers, whom he has converted to
his beliefs through his medicines,
have to say on the subject. The fol-
lowing statements are from two we'll
known residents of Chicago and Bos-
ton, respectively, and the enthusiasm
of these is characteristic of Cooper's
admirers generally.
Mrs. H B. Mack, of 3201 State

the First National Bank Of Brooklyn,
and under indictment with his three
sons on charges of fraud, died sud
denly today at his summer home at
Sea Cliff, Long Island, from apoplexy.
He had been i'll for two weeks, his
physicians fearing every moment he
would suffer an utter collapse until
two days ago. when he seemed 10 re-
cover and his heart grew stronger.
He was quite well when he arose this
morning, but just before sitting down
to breakfast the stroke of apoplexy
oYercame him and he died immedi-
ately.
Mr.. Jenkins had been a Brooklyn
banker for more than forty years, and
was the founder of the First National
Bank, continuing as its president I'M
til he went down in the financial
crash of last November. His eldest

jenkins Trust Company; and another
son, Frank, was president Of the Viii

charges of falsely lending to them
selves the funds of the jenkins and
Williamsburg Trust Companies to the

Frank, on charges Of perjury in max
tons of their institutions to the state
bank examiner.

the sons, there being a series of fist
fights in the efforts Of the sons to re-

the rogues' gallery.
On the latter indictments the four
surrendered themselves without trou-

Jenkins obtained a change of venue
from Kings county on the ground that
they could not get fair trial there
because so many persons had lost
money through the bank failure The
trials were to have come up very soon
in Suffolk county.
Worry over his financial troubles
and the disgrace of Indictment and
arrest greatly affected the elder Jen-
kins, and two weeks ago his heart
gave way under the strain and he was
taken to MS country place at Sea
Cliff, where he had been under the
constant care of doctors He worried
so much that he could not sleep, and
that weakened him.
At Sea Cliff it was said there could
be no possibility of suicide, and that
it vas expected momentariIy Mr.. Jen-
kins would die from heart failure
Three days ago two of the men on
whose afidavits the change of venue
was obtained were arrested on charges
of perjury. the complaint saying that
they had made false afidavitS.

PYTHIANS MEET AT
ST. PETERSBURG

upon the story of friendship between
Damon and Pythias. ,z-7i
The speaker then related the thrill.
ing incidents of this old stery. which
never loses interest by repetition
Continuing, the speaker said: The
friendship of Damon and Pythfas was
exemplified equally as much as by the
return OF Damon as by the offer OF
hostage by his friend.
Brotheriy Love.
This doctrine Of brotherly love
upon which the Pythian- order is the
doctrine of universal love that culIni-
mated in the scene on Cavalry, when
the great Divine gave up his life to
exemplify the great principles OF
brotherly love. The great cardinal
principle Of Pythianism is Friendship,
Charity and Benevolence.
AS an order we do not seek to in
culcate any particular religious belief
nor do we interfere with any mans
politics. We are all travelling the
same road; we sometimes pursue such
devious paths that it would seem hard
for the wayfarer to say where is the
goal.
Our great teacher said, A greater
and new commandment ] give unto
you. Love We one another" No
greater love hath a man shown than
that he will lay down his life for his
friend.
Principles of Order.
AS Pythians> we say that the prin-
ciples of our order-Friendship, Char

nation of love.
las Pythians we inculcate the prin-
ciples that if you have any flowers
to strew, strew them in the life of
the living. Don't wait to strew them

and wide-awate business men may be
dependen on every time to do things
right and Guido any previous efforts.

Stately and manly knights of Pythias
walked arm in arm along the beauti-
full thorOughfares and exchanged
greetings with fellow-craft and con-

Streets Crowded.
The ever jovial tourist, for once
found himself outnumbered on our
streets for short time only. Gayly
attired young women, who, realizing
the effects of light and shade, turned
out in great numbers and adde a Won
derful effect to the general appear
ance of beauty and Hveliness.
Glad hearts were made gladder by
the enhancing scenes, and everyone
contributing to the welcome rejoices
silently at the success achieved by
the united effort.
Surely st. Petersburg is deserving
of the South.
