The theory of L. T. Cooper Is based
upon cOmmon-sense reasoning. When
asked recently why his medicine is so
successful, he replied: My New Dis

WOULD DECLARE
FIRM INSOLVENT
Bankruptcy Petition Filed in
New York Against En-
mis- and Stoppani.

NEW YORK. April ia petition in
bankruptcy has been filed against
Thomas A. Ennis and Charles z. Stop
PAM, comprising the firm of Ennis &
Stoppani. one of the biggest Consolidated
Exchange houses doing business in this
city and Chicago.
The petition was fled on behalf of
Charles Sincere, who claims $3.50: Ethel
b. Newton. $3.50. and Fred ]. Ringley.
At the consolidated Exchange it was
stated that no official information Of
the filing Of the petition had been pre-
scented there.
It was announced that so far as the
exchange is concerned the firm IS per-
fectly clear on the books and transact
ing business as usual
Members of the firm declared L at
they were perfectly solvent ard taat
they knew OF no reason for anyone fling
any petition in court against them They
professed TO believe that It was some
snap judgment that had been secured
against them which could be vacated
when their lawyers had a chance to
examine into the matter. The firm. it is
declared by bother members, has no in
tention of announcing its suspension.
Despite the statement OF the Arm.
Judge Holt appointed Lindsay Russell
receiver. and placed his bond at $4,000.
In the petition. which resulted In she
action Of the court, Charles Sincere
stated that he had a claim OF $500
which had not been met. and he alleged
that the firm has failed to meet its
obligations on the Chicago board OF
trade and to other parties IN Chicago.
He declared that IL would be impos-
sitie to realize on the stocks and bonds
held by the firm unless a receiver were
appointed. as many other creditors
would file against the firm and thus
reduce the value Of their exchange seats
and the securities in which they are in
terested He alleges that large loans
have been made 10 the firm recently
and that the liabilities viii total 81. 500,-
900 while the assets are not more than
$4,000
AS soon as the receiver was named,
by Judge Holt, Ennis & Stoppani made
a general assignment for the benefit
Of their creditors.

ing OF apprehension. Persons familiar
with the situation agree that It must
be desperate. Trouble has been brew

No Bloodshed Known.
Up to the present time no report has
reached Vienna of actual bloodshed in
the Turkish capital. but 1t is admitted
that fighting may have occurred, ana
the news been suppressed.
The feeling of the mutinous troops is
so strong that they can be expected to
enforce demands for tribute from mer-
chants. and If their requests" are not
promptly met. they are sure to use ener-
getic measures.
The Turkish army IS well armed. at
least, and If the mutineers retain their
arms and ammunition. the work of
stamping out the rebellion VIII be very
difficult.
In view Of the fact that Hilni Pasha,
the present grand vizier. is the open
friend of Germany and German in
terests. the sympathies of English diplo-
mats and the foreign Office are naturally
with the deposed grand vizier, Kiamn
Pasha, who did much to advance the
interests OF the hlnglish and all anti
German powers during his short ten re
OF Office. It is confidently expected that
in event of an open clash English in
terests in the Ottoman Empire viii be
thrown in with the cause of the Lib
erals.

HOTEL GOESBEGG|NG
Star and Garter Auction Fails to
Bring Out Bidder.

Been Entertained in the
London Hostelry.

London.- For the second time with.
M hoter tribe stsse Star and. 1,
was no bidding and Ts1
sale.
Albert Chancellor, the auction
made an eloquent speech, referring Z
the hotel as "a far-famed hostelry. q
palace of pleasure erowning the hill
of delight"
THE view from this spot is he
said, "the finest in England, perhaps
in the world. You can motor down
from London in few minutes.
"Yes," interposed one of the COM
pany, "and get locked up"
The hotel had cost 100000 and
could be used equally well as hotel,
hydro or skating rink. As a pro-
visional bid the auctioneer suggested
the "trifing sum" of $150,000, and
then s125,000, but there were no offers
and the item was declared not sold.
1t is Just 100 years since the Star
and Garter was opened, after being
for five years left to decay. Perhaps
some clever hotel-keeper may find a
good augury in that circumstance. In
| 1909 Christopher Cream, who had
| been the duke of Yorks cook, became
proprietor of the hotel, even then 70
isvears old and he succeeded in max

Macmillan were among its many

In the ,6Os and '70s the Star and

Thackeray mentioned it more than
once in his novels; Meredith made
Richard Feverel talk to Bellona there,
and w E. Norris makes it the scene
of some of his cleverest chapters,
Rut the real revealer of the charms
of the Star and Garter was "Ouida."
