Before the Positive and Absolute Suspension of the
$3 Rate Doctor McCoy's Reasons for Making
. So Prominent and Emphatic the Time Limit
January 1.
With this closing month ort.hcyenrendB,
neeoiding to announcement, this oppor
tunity. It is reasonable to suppose (hat
by tills time thc-tcrnis have been made
eleai-.to alL The greatcstpalns have been
taken to guard against the possibility of
confusion. Tflc S3 rate was adopted to
give all an opportunity to he treated under
Doctor McCoy. It was ex tended to dispel
the misunderstanding' which the time limit
caused: TO MAKTJ IT QUITE CLIJAR
THAT DOCTOR McCOY'S OFFICES AND
DOCTOR McCOY'S 'PRACTICE WORK
ARE PERMANENT IN WASHINGTON,
NOT AS S0ME8UPP0SED LIMITED BY
THE TIME FOR WHICH HE MADETHIS
REMARKABLE OFFER. It Was ex
tended because many were unable to
take advnntage of it during the time
limit ict.
Sucli an optiortuiiity lins never been
given before. Such an opportunity will
never be given again, so, in presenting
it, Doctor McCoy may he pardoned for
desiring to make the final time limit
very- emphatic. Ho does not want to hear
complaints after January 1 from those
who pay ids regular fee on the ground
tli.it he Is partial or unjust, so he hab made
thl notice or the expiration of the $3
period Just as prominent. Just as cleur, and
Just as emphatic as he has been able to
muke it. IfcvrU be Justly presumed that
by the close .of.' the month there will be
none who liayfi not been informed and
notified that:
All patieutw beginning or renew
ing treatment before January 1 will
be treated until cured nt the uni
form rate of f?3 a month. This In
cludes nil medicines) and treatment.
This Is absolutely the final oppor
tunity under this rate. It will under
no circumstances be again extended
or continued. After January 1 Doc
tor McOy will resume his usual
fees.

Collections vere solicited on every ban J,
"and the citizens responded generjusly
ito the call. The gifts were not limited
tto money, but comprised everything from
a pair of mittens or warm stockings to a
iiiu'rflcr or a cap or a pair of muffs for the
eart. All this is the reason, therefore,
that the young monarchs last evemtig
'beheld such a tiee as their eyes had never
efore witnessed.
A sturdy Soldier of the Cross stationed
himself about 3 o'clock at the swinging
doo,rH of the spacioub Salvation Hall, on
Pennsylvania avenue.
Long before that hour the urchins had
begun to assemble on the stairs and clear
down the sidewalk about the front or the
building. The guard at the door permitted
a limited number, about seventy-five, to
enter at one time.
rv Royal Feast.
Possibly the entry of the boys into the
room could not be compared with the march
or any of the Four Hundred into aballroom.
Newsboys and bootblacks are notacnuainled
with functions. But every youth who made
up his mind to go found his way through
the swinging doors and the vigilance of I he
doorkeeper alone kept the mimimuin of
each party near the seventy-five limit.
A soou as a company had been formed
it would be escorted to a long table at
one end or the room where the teu-ii lol
lowcd Ensign Worthington, with Lieuto.
Hopkins, Bradshavv and Nordstram. and
the whole membership of the local corps
were tn charge of the waifs.
And such a dinner. There was turkey
Jarui cranberry sauce, celery, drcsslng.frtiits
.candy, nuts, pudding, pic, a.td mauy-haed
ice cream and then ior tho-i w ho wanted
Il-lhere was a beginning of all the :-ame
over again, until there was nothing 'eft
o do but get up and stretch and v.alk
a-iay.
Boys Entertained.
When one company had finished the
tables were cleared ami re-set until every
irohin had gone at least once from tie
beginning to the end of the elegant menu.
As the diners finished they were ushered
to the other end or the hall in front r the
stagey. -2. The biggest tree that could be
'tn nved through Ahv door adorned the
'rostrum.
The youngsters who were filled were
seated In the chairs before this stage and
while the unfilled were dining, EiiMgn
Worthington and her assistants entertained
the rest with songs, recitations andstoties.
--Certainly the crowd was noisy, but it was
orderly. The waifs could not be expected
to maintain the decorum of a funeral
p.irty, but when one youngster leaned over
and pulled the hair of Uie hoy in front
or him until the pullee called out in pain.
,a look from the ensign quelled all disorder.
, Presents for All.
Finally the last diner had finih-d and
taken his seat beside the rest. Ther- wss
a brier service or song and prayer, aud
iu this the Imijs Joined enthusiastically, jnd
the distribution of girts began. Mr, aud
Mrj. II. B. F. Macfarland, both of whom
are largely interested in the work among
tile rover of the streets, assisted in tins
part of the program.
The needs of each lad were catensl to
as far as possible. A bag of candy Mid
an orange were given to each one. Then
came the more substantial articles of
wear that were destined to last the young
sters after the memory and the taste of
the rest had vanished.
The candles on and about the tree were
lighted, and it looked for all the world
like a bit of Santa Cfaus' own forest. Iu
all the bri'liant scene the Salvationists
moved back and forth, and added to the
wonderment of the boys.
ANGLO-AMERICAN TREATY.
Will Soon Be Signed by Sir Julian
fauncefote and Mr. Olney.
The latest information respecting the
Anglo American treaty, under the terms

CONVICTS SET AT LIBERTY
President Issues Pardonsrj ftnniuer
of Counterfeiters.
Banli Embezzler's Term ot Imprison
ment Commuted Clemency Re
fused in Two Cases.
The President has pardoned, to take
erfect December 31, William Jackson,
sentenced October 7, 1893, in Texas, to
eighteen months imprisonment at hard
labor for making counterfeit coin. He ha.s
also pardoned James Burdell, alias Charles
Sherwood, convicted In July last In Mich
igan of bringing counterfeit coin into the
United States-
Burdell was t'-ntenced in Canada more
than twenty years ago to seven year-"
imprisonment for counterfeiting. TliJ de
tectives, since his return to the Umed
States, suspected him of further offense
of this kind, that could not be proven. v
lie was arrested, tried and convicted ftt
July on the same old evidence, and for
practically the same crime for which he
had been punished in Canada. The Presi
dent, in liis indorsement says that what
soever tiie technical rules of law may be,
he does not think it is fair or just to pun
ish this convict again for an offense to
nearly involved in his previous conviction.
Tl.e sentence of three years and six
months' Imprisonment and $5 fine, imposed
mum Washington Claypole, Jr., in western
Pennsylvania, In May, lfc94, for passing
counterfeit money, has been commuted to
three years actual unpriMHiment.
The President has alto commuted to five
years' imprisonment, with all deductions
for good behaior, the sentence of uu
years imposed In July, 1893, in Maine, upon
William It. Shaw for embezzling national
bank funds.
A pardon has been denied to W. W Lufe,
sentenced in western Missouri, in 1893, to
stx jear forsendingobscenelettersthrough
the mails, the President holding that "thh.
convict's crime is or such a nature and th
circuinstances related to it are so de
testable as to deserve a severe sentence."
A pardon has also been denied in the
case of W. T. Morrison, -entenced in south
ern Mississippi to $25 Tine for forgery
In regard to thi11 case the President sajs
"I will not listen to any application for
pardon iu this case, the effect of which
will be to relieve the convict from the pay
ment of the trifling fine imposed by his
sentence. This fine ought to be collected
at once and the convict may well congratu
late himself upon the remarkable clemency
extended to him by the court."
