FACTS ABOUT NEW THEORY
SECURED BY INTERVIEWS
People Tell the Reason for Their Faith in
Cooner’s Belief.
An article from the Nashville, Term.,
B i:ner, published during L. T. Coop
er * visit to that city, throws some
li^ht on the remarkable success of the
young man’s theories and medicines
ir. vr.i ions cities visited by him during
the past year. The article is as fol
lows :
“In view of the enormous sale of
Cooper’s preparations now going on in
this city and the intense interest
uhi h Mr. Cooper has stirred up since
his arrival, a representative of the
Burner spent Thursday afternoon at
the young man’s headquarters, watch-
irg the swarm of humanity come and
go-
“During the afternoon the reporter
interviewed many of the callers and
obtained statements from all who
cared to give them as to their expe
rience with Cooper and his prepara
tions.
“The following are selected from
those statements as being typical of
the general expression of the people
eeen:
“Mr. B. B. Lasater, living at 1224
North Fourth avenue, when inter
viewed, said: T have been troubled
v ith my stomach for the past two
years, and have had rheumatism for
more than five years. Sometimes I
could not walk, and there were times
when I could not even move in bed.
Hard knots would form on my mus
cles, which caused me intense pain.
Gas formed on my stomach after eat
ing, which gave me much pain and
distress, and often I was restless and
tossed all night, losing much sleep and
rest.
’“Hearing of Mr. Cooper and the
great work bis medicine was accom
pllshing for others, I decided to try
it. I have taken it about two weeks,
and find myself in a greatly improved
condition. My stomach is in good
shape, and does not trouble me at all.
My rheumatism has nearly disappear
ed, and I expect to resume work short
ly, for the first time in twelve months.
Mr. Cooper certainly has a wonderful
medicine, and I am grateful for what
it has done for me.'
“Another caller was Mrs. T. J.
Smith, of 505 Hudson street She
said: T have been a sufferer from
bladder and kidney trouble for twenty-
five years. In that time I have tried
many prescriptions and various kinds
of medicine, but received little or no
benefit from them. I seldom had a
sound night’s sleep, my rest being bro
ken at intervals throughout the night.
I had pains in my back and burning
sensations.
“T heard so much of Mr. Cooper
that I came to the conclusion he might
be able to afford me some relief. I
have now been taking the medicine
about a week, and feel better in every
way. The pain has disappeared, and
I have no distress whatever. I have
come here today to express my appre
ciation to Mr. Cooper for his wonder
ful medicine and what it has done in
my case. I will take pleasure in rec
ommending it to others.’
“In spite of assertions by various
physicians that Cooper is a fad who
will soon die out, the young man seems
to be gaining even greater headway as
his visit draws to a close.”
The agency for Cooper’s celebrated
medicines has been given to us. We
are making a fine record with them.

Flag of Many Colors.
“Probably tin* most conspicuous ob
ject above the sky line on Pennsylva
nia avenue,” remarked an army officer,
“is the many lined flag on the building
occupied by the international bureau
of American republics, on Jackson
place, opposite Lafayette park. That
flag necessarily resembles a rainbow
because it contains the principal colors
displayed on the Hags of each of the
countries represented in the bureau,
comprising all the states of Central
and South America and the United
States. The present Hag supplants
the one originally adopted, which had
the form of tin elongated triangle and
contained the initials T. B. O. A. It.’
The new Hag would Ik* square but for
the fact that «>ne side lias a slightly
swallowtail effect. The most impor
tant change in the design, however, is
the substitution of the words ‘Pan-
American Bureau’ for the initials of
the international bureau of American
republics. Although the latter is the
official title of tne bureau, it is consid
ered too cumbersome and has been
abandoned for the shorter and equally
comprehensive title chosen in its
stead.”—Washington Star.
Old School Methods.
Speaking to a gathering of teachers,
some of whom had I teen complaining
of the lack of proper school facilities
in several sections of Philadelphia, Su
perintendent Brumbaugh recently com
pared the present with the past. Tak
ing up the matter of text Itooks. the su
perintendent described one of the first
elementary schools in Pennsylvania.
“Only three out of twenty-four pupils
had any books when school started,
and the teacher took a newspaper and,
after smoothing It out carefully, cut it
in equal parts. Each piece was used as
a reader and speller. When the news
paper wore out a thoughtful friend
sent tlie teacher a bundle of handbills
and posters. Flagstones found in the
iKittom of a brook were valuable as
slates, and soft stones were used as
pencils.”—Philadelphia Record.
Life Size Prints That Cost a Thousand
.Dollars Each.
Time was, and not so many years
ago. when ordering cabinet photo
graphs at. $10 or so a dozen was re
garded its enough of a luxury to cause
one to count over and over again the
friends that really must be favored,
while imperials, costing twice as much,
were the height of extravagance. To
day a photographer ha,; just perfected
a eaniera whereby he Is prepared to
take likenesses at $1,000 apiece. These
photographs tire life size’ prints.
To make these photographs the pho
tographer has built a special camera,
very likely the biggest ever, for such
a purpose. It is really an entire room,
the black walls, celling and Hoor of
which correspond to tin* doth thrown
over the ordinary apparatus. Within
this room camera the operator can
walk about and accomplish wonders
hitherto impossible to him.
Impressive as a thousand dollar pho
tograph sounds, it is not so extrava
gant in one way its it seems. The
other day a man dropped into the same
studio and, seeing framed and hanging
on the wall a replica of a photograph
of liimsdf for which ho had paid $200
for a single print, remarked:
“I would rather have that photo
graph at the cost of an oil painting of
myself than an oil painting at the cost
of lh<* photograph.”
In other words, he and Ids family
had got more satisfaction out of an ex-
penditur.* of $200 than if he had paid
a portrait painter the $2,500 or so that
his means could as conveniently have
afforded. What is true of the $200
photograph is correspondingly true of
tile $1,000 photograph, for in the latter
case tin* dimensions are brought up to
the size of the conventional painted
portrait.
While the $1,000 photograph dis
counts the future a hit, the $100 arti
cle is already out of the class of rari
ties. The finest made at this price
each are carbon prints on canvas.
An Indescribable softness Is furnish
ed by tlds canvas, the texture of which
is apparent at close range, and the
general effect is that of a painting in
monotone, a rich brown in countless
shadings that blend into a perfect
whole. Such a photograph should of
course be absolutely permanent. The
same photograph in a carbon print on
Japan paper costs $150. The size is 25
by HO inches.
As for photographs at $100 a dozen—
exquisite platinum prints 11 by 14
Inches on large mounts that fold once
—they are not merely an extravagance
of the rich, hut the moderately well to
do are indulging in them. Fancy a
photographer getting tin order for $400
worth of work from one young ma
tron! Yet neither the customer nor
the photographer thought anything of
it. Tills was not for a couple of high
priced prints, hut for a miscellaneous
lot of photographs, sittings of herself
and her children.
Men pay $100 a dozen for photo
graphs quite as readily as women.
Photographs at $45 a dozen and $.”0 a
dozen have become a mere common
place of extravagance and are only a
luxury to people of moderate means.—

The Beauty of Richmond.
Among the bishops who traveled
from New England to the Episcopal
convention at Richmond, Va., was one
who asked a policeman what he
thought of the convention. “A well
behaved convention,” was the reply.
“You listened to the debates, then?”
“Can’t say that I did,” said the officer,
“but I haven’t seen a drunken man
yet”
It was the same bishop who accost-
•d another policeman with remarks on
the beauty of Richmond and got for
answer, “Richmond, yonr honor, Is
God’s city.” “How’s that?’ queried
the ecclesiastical dignitary. “Well, you
see, In Richmond every citizen Is either
a Baptist or a Methodist."—Boston
