"Z- EYMLASSES SPECTACLES Accurately Adjusted. ST. A SPECIALTY. CONVINCED BY EESULT. THE KIND OF EVIDENCE THAT CANNOT BE DOUBTED.

Some Very Simple and Candid Words on an Important Topic. Michael Danahue, 4035 North Twenty-fifth Street. "About three years ago," said Mr. Danahue, the 3ubject of the above cut, "I took a severe cold, which I neglected. My nose became i stopped up, first on one side and then on the other.

I could feel a dropping down mucus in the back part of my throat. I had quite a severe pain in my breast. My hearing was affected, my appetite was poor. felt sleepy ad drowsy all the time. In fact.

had catarrh. Well, about five months ago I began to be treated by Dr. McCoy. For the last two months I have been free from all symptoms of catarrh. I eatwell.

sleep well, have no more cough, no more pt my head. In fact, I feel as well as I ever did." Interesting: Evidences. When catarrh has existed in the head and the upper part of the throat for any length of time the patient living in a district where people are subject to catarrhal affection and the disease has been left uncured, the catarrh invariably, sometimes slowly, extends down the windpipe and into the bronchial tubes. which tubes convey the air to the different parts of the lungs. The tubes become affected from the swelling and the mucus aris ing from catarrh and in some instances become plugged up so that the air cannot get out as freely as it should.

Shortness of breath follows and the patient breathes with labor and difflmiltv. In either case there is sound of crackling and wheezing Inside the chest. At this stacre of the disease the breathing is usually more rapid than when in health. The patient also has hot nasnes over nis ooay. 1 he pain hich accompanies this condition of a dull character, felt in the chest behind the breast hone or under the shoulder blade.

The pam may come and go last a few days and then be absent for several others. The cougn that occurs in the first stages of bronchial catarrh is dry, comes on at intervals, is hacking in character and usually most troublesome in the morning on rising or going to bed at night, and it may be the first evidence of the disease extending in the lungs. first there may be nothing brought up by the cough; then there is a little tough, tenacious mucus which the patient finds great difficulty in bringing up. Sometimes there are fits of coughing Induced by tough mucus so violent as to cause vomiting. Later on, the mucus that is raised found to contain small particles yellow matter which indicates that the small tubes in the lungs are now af fected.

With this there are often streaks of blood mixed with the mucus. In some cases the patient becomes very pale, has fever, and i jLpccLurui9 uciuio v.iy cougn appears. In some cases small masses of cheesy substance are spit up, whicn, when pressed be tween the fingers, emit a bad odor. In other cases particles of a hard, chalky nature are spit up. The raising of cheesy or chalky lumps indicates serious mischief at work into lungs.

NEWLAXD, JUKil3iNiieu avenue. SHOES FOR in Chicago. Thn rnnrt that there were 8.000 neonle at Tuesday's cam a caused the opinion to be formed that the re- ceints wern mnch heavier than they really are. But from Secretary Brown's Statement it annnnra there has been a deal of exaggeration. II was a little shv about giv ing the exact figures and would only say at first the receipts were over $6,000.

When nressed still further he said thev warn more than $6,500. From one of the most prominent members of the club it was learned that the exact figures are between ana $7,000. Some Interesting Statistics. The admirers of the Browns have nothing to be ashamed of when the "figures are pulled" on the three games played in Chicago. Although figures don't win games they sometimes come nearer giving a correct idea of two clubs' relative strength than the bare record of games won There Is a great deal of consolation in the fact that the total score of the three Chlcaero eames shows that the Browns are only one run behind their opponents, the total being 17 to 16.

In the matter of goose eggs, too, the Browns have got only 3 more The Chicasros are called sluggers but all the same the Browns have made twenty-eight hits against twenty-three by Chicago, and in total bases show still greater superiority, having touched forty-three bases to their adversaries' thirty-five. In the two games with Clarkson pitching the Browns have made 14 hits, an average 01 i mis or a-i total bases to a game. In home runs the clubs are a tie on 2 apiece. The Browns made three two-baggers to the Chicagos' two. and the same proportion exists in the matter of three-base hits.

The Browns earned nine runs. the Chicagos seven. But the secret of the Chicagos' lead may be found in the number of stnke-outs. Chi cago was struck out onlv eleven times, but the Browns fanned the air twenty-two times, or just twice as often. In one game, the first, the Browns were struck out ten time3.

or within one of as often as the Chicagos were altogether. Of the twenty-two Browns that found only air, Clark-son struck out eighteen, an averane of nine to a came. In stealing bases both clubs tied on two each. A singular thing occurred in the first game, not a base being stolen bv either club. If the record of the strike outs shows that the Browns were a little weak with the stick at critical times, their work in the field shows that in handling the ball they were about twice as good as Chicago.

The Chicagos are said to play like clockwork on the field and all that, but an inspection of the errors shows that the Browns are pretty good in the clock business themselves. The Chicagos made a total of seventeen errors, the Browns but nine. In one game, the second, the Chicagos made as many errors as the Browns made altogether. Although Caruthers let down In yester day's game the Chicagos got only eight basespi on catieu oaus, wune tne Browns came within one of that number. There was not much difference between the clubs In the matter of being left on bases, the Chicagos having been left eighteen times, the Browns twenty-two.

Old "Bush" had two passed balls, while Kelly and Anson, each had the same number. Yesterday's Game. From Yesterday's Extra Edition. In the first inning Gore took first on balls, Kelly did the same sending Gore to second, and both advanced a base on Anson's sacrifice to Comiskey. Pfeffer took first oh balls, Williamson followed suit and Gore came home.

Kelly scored on Burns' hit to liobinson, and Pfeffer and Burns were-doubled by Latham and Comiskey. For the visitors Latham struck out and got very mad about it. Caruthers took first on balls. O'Neill did the same and Caruthers went to second. Each advanced another base on a passed ball.

Louis Welch made a safe hit, the ball going directly over first. Itobinson drove a ball against the left wall, taking first, and Welch reached second. Hudson got his base 011 a missed third strike. Keliy held the ball and threw to third, putting out Welch. A wrangle occurred here.

Capt. Anson declaring that both men were out and the question was referred to the Board of Umpires, who were on the grounds, John Kelly having decided Hudson not out. A long delay ensued. It was finally agreed to let Hudson keep his base, and the game proceeded. Bushong hit a fly to Gore, who threw to the Chicagos Dench, allowing Ttobinson to score.

Hudson went to third and Bushong to second on the error. Latham struck out. Caruthers went out, and this put the sideout forone rua. THIRD INNING. In the third inning Kelly opened up by a fly which Hudson gathered in.

Comiskey struck out, retiring the side. FOURTH INNING. In the fourth inning Williamson hit to Comiskey, who got to first ahead of the runner. Tommy Burns made an elegant three-base hit into the carriages and Kyan stepped to the plate. He hit a fly to center held and Burns scored on the put out.

Dalrymple died at firstsendinz out.the nine. For St. Louis Welch took his base on balls. Robinson's fly was muffed by Dalrymple, and Welch ent to second. They each moved up a base on a passed ball.

Welch was thrown out at the plate by Williamson to Kelly on Hudson's hit. Robinson got third base on the play. Bushong hit a fly which Gore captured and Kobinson started for the plate. He struck Kelly right in the face and knocked him down. Robinson was declared out, however, on the play, and the side retired.

FIFTH INNING. In the fifth Clarkson was put out. his long hit being taken by Welch. Gore's short bounder was taken by Caruthers who put it Into Comiskvey's hands ahead of the runner. Kelly hit for a home run over the fence far into Congress street, and the crowd went crazy.

Anson struck a high foul, which Bushong got. The knock tore the cover off the ball. This retired the side with one run to their credit. For the visitors Latham picked up the bat, turned the bat wrong end to and pounded his heels for luck. It was a hoodoo, however, for Latham's line fly went into Williamson's hands.

Caruthers made a safe hit to center. He got second on a passed ball. O'Neill hit safe to short. Gleason fouled out to Anson. The side went out on Comiskey's fly to Anson.

PIXTH INNING. Pfeffer's high fly was captured by Robinson, and Williamson struck out. Burns hit safe to short and wenc to third on Ryan's two-base grounder to left. Both men scored on' Comiskey's muff of Dalyrmple's fly. Clarkson flew out to center.

Then ho went to third on a wild pitch. Bushong went out from Ryan to Anson, but Kobinson got in. Latham 's daisy cutter went to center field and he reached first. Caruthers hit a grounder to Anson, and the side went out with two runs. THE SEVENTH.

In the seventh inning Gore led off for Chicagos. He reached first on a hit which probably would not have counted had not Robinson slipped. He went to second on Kelly's safe hit. Anson flew out to Hudson and Gore got to third. Pfeffer hit safe, bringing home Gore, Keliy going to second.

Latham purposely muffed Williamson's hit. Pfeffer started for second forcing Kelly off the base, and he was put out by Latham Pfeffer went to third on a passed bail, and Williamson sneaked to second. Burns hit to Robinson but the ball was too hot for him to hold and Pfeffer scored on the hit. Itobinson overthrew the nlate and Williamson also scored. Burns going to third on the error.

At this point Bushong retired and Latham came in to catch. Ryan's long fly was taken by O'Neill, the side retiring for three runs. lor the visitors O'Neill took the bat. He died at first from Pfeffer to Anson. Gleason struck out.

The Chicago Champions Come With Them Anson's Joke the Browns Pitchers The Mistake Which Lost Yesterday's Game Receipts of the Chicago Games Sporting Notes and Gossip.

The Browns' arrival in the city this morning over the Vandalia was a very dreary affair. There was nobody to meet them at the depot and they got off quietly and solemnly and went off to their quarters. None of the nine would say anything about the series except Latham, who was not qjiite as "JBabe" Anton. chipper as usual. He expressed the gloomy opinion that the Browns would have to hustle to down the League champions.

"I had counted on winning the game yesterday," said he, "and if we had done that we would have had a walk over for the rest. Bushong added to the gloom by saying that the ball played by the Chicagos yesterday was simply great. His hand, which was slightly hurt in yesterday's game, was again in its usually good condition this morning. TESTERDAY'S MISTAKE. The Browns certainly felt in no good humor last night over the result of yesterday's game.

The fact that Caruthers was put in the box to pitch a second consecutive game was dis cussed by the players on the train coming home. SaidGleason: "It was dead wrong to put him in. We all wanted Hudson and we made a special request that Hudson be pitcher. Caruthers Insisted on going in. and why they put him in I don't know.

Hudson was anxious to pitch and understood he was going to until the last minute. From the very start we all knew "how the thinir was going, and when the Chicagos took four bases on balls, that settled it. Even then it was not too late, and I heard that Mr. Von der Ahe told Comisney to bring Hudson in from the lield, butiwhy it wasn't done I don't know." Latham felt exactly as Gleason did, and said that had Hudson been pitched the Browns would certainly have himself said he regretted the mistake but beyond that he' was silent and did not care to discuss the question. O'Neill said the pitching had been miserably managed, and this from the start disconcerted the whole team.

President Von der Ahe was dissatisfied witn the whole nine and told them so on their arrival at the hotel from the ball grounds. THE CHICAGOS. The Chicagos registered at the Lindell Hotel early this morning. Besides the regular nine filenames of John A. Brown, the Secretary; Flynn and Baldwin, pitchers, and Hardie, catcher, were on the register.

Manager Spalding was not with the nine, having been detained in Chicago by business. He may, however, come down before the St. Louis games are over. The base ball veterans were sitting together in the hotel rotunda when a St. Louis acquaintance came tip, and slapping Capt.

Anson on the back said: "Well, old man, this is when We do you up." "No, you don't mean it," said Anson sarcastically. "How is it boys?" and he turned around to the aggregation holding down the chairs. Gore's soft eyes gave forth a smile of incredulity and Kelly pulled down his lower eyelid with a pantomimic invitation to the rash acquaintance to go on a search for something green. Tne rest of the party soon being engaged in a vigorous attempt to bluff the St. Louis man out of his opinion, a Post-Dispatch reporter nailed the famous captain who looked on and listened to his players' enthusiasm very much as a cat would watch the riskiness of her kittens.

"How does It come. Captain, thatMcCor-mick, your pitcher, isn't on the register?" "Simply because he isn't here, that's all. He's got the rheumatism and staid at home. "How were the Browns treated in Chicatro?" "First rate, as we always treat our visitors. Ton ask the Browns, and I'll bet you they'll tell you the same.

The crowd was for us? Weil, yes, to a certain extent, but it was not as much of a backer of the local club as it would be in any other city in the country. AS TO HIPPODROMINO. In reference to the statement that the games were hippodromes, Anson said that it was the common cry on all occasions of this kind, and was the work of a few fools who probably lost money on one or two of the games, "there are always a few men everywhere," he said, "who are anxious to throw dirt at people when they find themselves out. I can tell you now positively that these games are for blood, every one of them. 1 was present when the agreement was made in Spalding's office, and I heard all that passed.

I know that the receipts are deposited in the First National Bank of Chicago and that if we win the series we will get half of it. That is what wo are playing for, and I suppose that such is the case with the St. Louis club, although I've been given to understand that another arraneement has been made." In this last insinuation Anson is wrong, for the Browns are playing just as hard to win as the Chicagos and for the very same reason. AN OLD-TIME BLUFF. "Captain, which is the hardest pitcher you have tound in the Anson's complacency and coolness are proverbial, and they were certainly charming when he blew a cloud of cigar smoke from his lips and replied: "Hudson, of course." "But, saiu the reporter in surprise, "you haven't faced him yet." Anson turned, and a look somewhat of pity crept over his sunburned face as he slowly answered: "That's Just the reason he's so hard.

See?" "Js there any ill-feeling between the members of the two clubs?" HOW ROBINSON LOST A RUN. "So far as my club is concerned I can say they are all right toward the Browns. Now, all this talk about McCormick hitting Welch is nonsense. I didn't see it, but I understand Welch ran into Mac as he was fielding a ball and Mac simply pushed him out of the way. In the crame vesteraav there was a.

iron.l deal said about Robinson striking Kelly. Now, he didn't do anything of the kind. Robinson could have got across plate. I think, if he had slid, because then Kelly would have had to pull down the ball on him. and I don't think he could have done it in time.

But Robinson ran straight and bumped into Kelly, and Kelly did well to hold on to the ball. The base runner has the right of way in nearly every instance, and so far as we are concerned we are going to use that right whenever we can. The Browns ran bases well, very well Indeed, and handled themselves skillfully on the bases. M'CORMICK'8 CONDITION. Secretary John A.

Brown of the Chicago Club was asked as to Mccormick's breakdown. "The fact is, the trouble doesn't lie in his arm at all, but in his legs. Rheumatism struck him last spring and compelled him to lay off ten days at the Hot Springs. He's got the same trouble In his feet now, and can't get around at all for a ball player. In regard to the treatment received at Chicago by the Browns, the Secretary said that the only display the crowd made was toward Latham.

The first day they laughed at his talking; the next dav they grew tired of it, and the third they tried to make him stop it. They could stand a little of it, but a little goes a great way. THE NEW PITCHER. Ward Baldwin, the new Chicago pitcher, Just signed, is a smooth-faced, clear-skinned young fellow, about the most youthful on the nine. He Is sturdily built, above the medium height and seems to be a very healthy specimen.

lie tolel a Post-1i8patch reporter that his arm bad not got tired once this season, although he won thirty-nine games out of City-tw pitched. hen asked If he was going to pitch in the present series, he said he didn't know, but he was not at all nervous and was willing to try THE BETTING. Notwithstanding the fact the Browns lost yesterday's game, St. Louis batters felt certain this morning that the Browns would win to-day's came at Sportsman's Park, and odds of to 10, 5 to 4, 100 to 80, and others in the same proportion were offered on them in the pool-rooms. At 9 o'clock a few bets had been made at the rate of 10 to 8.

and the prospects at that hour were good. A number of the Chicago players visited one or two betting-rooms In the morning and said that odds on the Browns would not go beeging. They said that plenty of Chicago money had 'been sent down to St. Louis already, and understood that more was coming. THE MONET 'MADE.

A LICKY MAN. How Broker Ojrjre 11. Green Successfully "Woed Dame Fortune. Bv TeTeirrarh to the Post-Dispatch. Xew York, October 21.

George B. Green, grain-broker and member of the Produce Exchange, has earned the right to call himself the lucky man. Yesterday a dealer in diamonds entered the Produce Exchange Building: and offered to raffle a diamond pin at $1 a chance. The brokers were In the mood for sport, and as ready to speculate in diamonds as In grain. So thev put up $1 each on the chance of getting the pin.

Mr. Green proved to be the holder of the lucky number and the pin was awarded to him. Then the dealer offered a diamond ring of the same value, upon the same terms, and a hundred or mor-rotembers risked $1 each upon the chance, iireen'said he would not enter this time but r-pive the other boys a chance, but finally admitted that though he had a diamond pin he had not another dollar in his pocket. At that moment a score of brokers offered to lend him the money. He accepted a dollar from one and matched it with another broker.

He won. paid baCK his loan and then bought a chance in the rafllo for the ring. To his surprise, for xne secona lime he was winner and the ring was allotted to him. A GREAT ra'SH. Astonishing the Thousands.
