HAL CHASE HAS SMALLPOX. HAMMERS ARK OCT AT SPAtTAXBCRG. The following from The Journal in dicates the temper of the situation down in Manager Carlton Beusse's camping-ground and tt must be mighty tantalizing to him. Here tt is: It mlfht as well be frankly stated in all kindness that the local fans are somewhat disappointed at the showing so far made by Be asses bunch of ball players. It may he a little early to. reach anything like a final conclu sion as to its merits and strength, but the team might have shown up much better than It nas done. This is straight gooda It is not desired to. be critical, but there are some people on this Spartanburg team that are either badly out of form or they are out of their class in a league like this. The' place of McKenaie, Martin and Watson have not been fill ed. If the young man who did the catching yesterday can throw to sec ond, he should give an exhibition of his powers occasionally. Of course, .nobody expected the Spartans to beat Boston, but Bower- man told the Greenville people that they had a much stronger team than ours. Wow! yor was It hardly to be expected that we would beat Colum bia; but toe very poor showing made against that team Which is only ordi nary and which mas oeaten by Char lotte Saturday, was disappointing to the local fans.

J PATIENT'S SPLEEN REMOVED ' Wife of Cuban Official Recovering From Remarkable Operation. New York Tlmea Mme. Angela Dorriente. wife of Gen. Leandro Dorriente, a member of the staff of President Oomex of Cuba and an nfnV.er In tha Cuban army, is at the General Memorial Hospital recov erlng from one of the rarest opera tions known to surgery, one Involving the removal of the spleen. The nneratlon was performed on Saturday by Dr. George H. Mallett of 141 West seventy-third street. . Tne physicians who had seen tha patient aald that without the operation sns could live but a few hours. The oneration was pronounced a complete success and Mme. Dorriente has Improved steadily. Before coming to New York Mme. Dorriente was treated by some of the leading specialists of Cuba. Some said she was suffering from malaria nd others suggested other less com mon diseases. When she continued to grow worse her husband concluded that her case was not understood ana brought her to this country. She went at once to the General Memorial Hospital. 108th street and Central Park West, where she was kept under observation by Dr. Mallett for five days. The surgeon decided that her Illness grew out of a wholly diseased condition of the spleen. Gen. Dorriente was made to understand the nature of the operation. Its rarity and seriousness, but consented when he was assured that It was tho only hope of saving his wife's life. It was seen after the operation that the spleen had hardened and was considerably enlarged. The opera tion Is expected to throw light on the functions of the spleen. The general belief among physicians, It was said yesterday, is that the spleen, which usually weighs several pounds secretes the blood and possibly has other functions. Some authorities. It was explained, hold that It Is also a reser voir for nutrition, storing It up after meals until the system needs It. It Is asserted however, that whatever Its functions persons have been known to live without It. Mme. Dorriente is expected by thf physicians to recover in a few weeks, and they do not believe that her life will be shortened because of the loss f the spleen, believing that whatever ecessary functions It performed will be taken up and performed by other organa Not "Biting Off Horn,- Etc Durham Herald.

Dennison, Clark County, Illi nois, relates an Interesting experience with the Cooper remedies, which have grown largely Into popular favor dur ing the past few years. She says: "For years I have suffered agony from stomach trouble, always exper iencing severe pain Immediately after eating. . I had a very poor appetite. and often went without my meals In order to escape the distress that was sure to follow. My digestion was bad, I was troubled with gas on my stomach, and my bowels were In a wretched condition. "I tried everything I heard of In an effort to get rellefbut coo Id find nothing that would neip me. i De- came weak, run down and greatly dis couraged. I could do scarcely any work and felt miserable all the time. I had no strength everything was a drag, even my very existence. I could not sleep, and was so nervous and worn out that life hardly seemed worth the living. "Having read several announoe- of L. T. Cooper and with the state ments made by persons who bad used his medicine, that I decided to give It a trial, and procured a treatment of Cooper's New Discovery. "From the first day I started to use the New Discovery I began to -Improve. It put my stomach and bow els into perfect condition, cleansed my system of impurities, and built me up rapidly In flesh and strength. I was soon sleeping, soundly at night and in the morning felt rested, and ready for the day'a work. By the time I had taken the full treatment my health was better than it had been in years. "Last summer I picked eighty-five gallons of blackberries, besides doing my other work. The neighbors -all remarked how well I was looking. And I tOtd them It was Cnnner'a V. Discovery that was doing it. I can nevor im inansrui enough for the benefit I have derived from this splen did Cooper medicine.' Cooper's Now Discovery is now on sals by all druggists everywhere.
