situated the coal lands it owns.
While it has been known to insiders
that the corporation was running behind
financially the receivership came sooner

great surprise generally. Besides the
acknowledged inability of the road To

1000 Marched Out Of School Build
ing.
NEW YORK, March 6.-While a fire
ragged on the fourth floor of the five
story public school building in 1o9th
street between Amsterdam avenue and
Broadway today. 1000 pupils marched
from the building singing America, un-
der the leadership of their teachers. The
children were engaged in their morning
singing exercises, when the fire gong
rang. and they continued 10 sing as they
marched out of the building.
There was no sign of panic at any
time. and a few minutes after the first
alarm was sounded all the children were
assembled i'm the school yard waiting for
the word of dismissal. which would per-
nit them to go home. Fortunately all
the smaller children were in rooms on
the lower floors of the building, and many
of them did not know of the fire when
they were called upon to march out by
the regular fire drill.
The fire was quickly extinguished after
causing damage to the extent Of about
$40 in the room in which it started.

Recruiting Station Abandoned.

a recruiting station for the United States
Army. That action is taken because after
lengthy experiment with recruiting

tha. the number of recruits obtained was
decidedly too small TO justify the mante-

War Department are unable to assign
any reason for that condition. especially

STATEMENT MADE
BY NEW YORKER.
After Careful Observation of
Results William Waite
Asserts Belief.

William Waite, living at No. 1876
Third avenue. New York. has made the
following statement regarding the
Cooper remedies. which have become
the subject OF wide discussion. and are
now being demonstrated at Riker's New
Drug Store. No. West Fourteenth
street. Just off Fifth avenue. Mr..
Waite says:
ANY one afflicted with chronic ILL
health and a general rundown condition
caused by stomach trouble. who does
not try this man Cooper's medicine. Is
very foolish. l say this after having
carefully observed its effect upon my
wife. who has just recently had most
remarkable experience with the medi-
cine.
For year or more she suffered ter
ribly with catarrhal gastritis. from
which she could get no relief either
from doctors or from the various reme-
dies that were recommended. Nothing
helped her, and she kept steadily grow
ing weaker. Her food would not digest,
and she was invariably in misery after
eating. She experienced a great amount
OF pain and distress from gas on the
stomach, and her bowels were always
constipated. There was a hard lump at
the pit of her stomach that was very
sore and sensitive even 10 the touch OF
her clothing.
For weeks at a time she lived entire
~ upon liquids, not daring 10 partake
OF solid food OF any kind. Things went
along in this manner for months, and
finally we decided 10 try the Cooper
medicine, about which We had heard so
much. ! visited the Cooper head
quarters and after explaining my wife $
condition, took home treatment OF
Coopers New Discovery.
Its action was prompt, and in a short

is never troubled with gas any more
