JEROME'S FIGHT CLOSED.
Evidence Against Proprietor of
Swell Resort Obtained Only
After Yeais of
Labor.
Xcw fork. Dec. 7. nicliard A. Canficld
to-day pleaded sullty before Judge Cow
ing to an Indictment charging 1dm with
keeping a gambling-house, and n:is dis-
chared upon payment or J1.W0 flue.
His manager, Datd Bucklin. entered a
similar pled, and nas fined tho same
amount. The recommendation for this ac
tion was made In each case by District
Attorney Jerome, who has spent many
thousands ot dollars in the fight against
Canfleld, which is thus brought to a close.
Both indictments were returned by the
Grand Jury to-day.
The witnesses whose names were signed
on the Indictments weie cmplojes in Can
field's place, and their names were fur
nished the District Attorney by counbel
for the defense.
Canfield's house Is situated next door to
the city's most fashionable restaurant and
all his patronage camo from the wealthiest
men in the city. For jears It was Im
possible to obtain evidence agalnn him.
as no one was admitted to the house ex
cept persons known personalis- to Canfleld
or Bucklin. or vouched for by one ot the
regular patrons of tho house.
District Attorney Jerome several years
ago began a determined effort In securn
the necessary evidence, and to this end
he subpoenaed Jesse Lewlohn, a member
of a prominent business firm, and called
on Mr. Lewisohn to answer whether he
had ever gambled in Canfield's houe.
Lewisohn refused to answer, on the
ground that he was not required to g!e
a reply which might tend to Incriminate
or degrade him. A special act was pissed
by the Legislature to pro Ide immunity to
witnesses who might testify as Mr. Lewi
sohn had been asked to do. Still, however,
Mr. Lewisohn declined to answer, on the
ground that tho special act was uncon
stitutional. He fought the case to the Court of Ap
peals, the highest In the State, and re
cently that court handed down a. decision
sustaining the act and holding that Mr.
Lewisohn should testify.
CHILDISH PRANK
MAY CAUSE DEATH
Stella Holden, Inmate of German
Protestant Orphans' Home,
Burned About Bodr.
Stella Holden. 10 yeais old. an inmate of
the German Protestant Orphans' Home of
Des Pore, Mo., Is In a critical condition
at that institution from burns sustained
Tuesday as the result of a childish prank
perpetrated by Theresa Hertel, one of her
associates.
Tho two children were In a room on the
third floor about 6 o'clock In the even
ing, when Stella started to light a lamp.
Taking a piece of burning paper, sho
held It In her hand. Theresa threw- It on
her to frighten her. Her dresi Ignited,
and it was but a moment more until the
flames reached the open bowl of the lamp,
causing an explosion.
Both girls were knocked sonselcs:. Stel
la was enveloped in flames. Tho ex
plosion brought In children from an ad
Joining room. Some ran for tho superin
tendent of the home, but Mary Smith,
who is 1 years old. with rare presence
of mind, hastily doffed her skirt and
threw It around Stella, extinguishing the
flames.
The little girl was badly burned, and
her flesh began to char Immediately. A
messenger was sent to KIrkwood. where
Doctor C A. Dunnavant was summoned.
Doctor Dunnavant workod with her for
several hours, dolr? all In hl3 power to
alleviate- hr sufferings, but to practically
little avail. Last night she had become
unconscious, and It was believed that her
death was but a question of a few hours.
The little girl has been an lnmato of the
home for about three jears, and was a
general favorito with her teachers and
her playmates.
Little Theresa Hertel. tho girl who
threw the burning paper. wa almost
crazed with grief over her action and
refused to be condoled.
The fire that started in the room from
tho ejdosion was extinguished before any
serious damage resulted.
WAH LEE WAKES THE ECHOES.
Chinaman Feels Loneliness of
Pike Gives Away Horns.
Wah Lee, a, merry Celestial, erstwhile
ot the Pike, was responsible yesterday
morning for a brief renaissance of the old
time frivolities of that street of departed
memories. Depressed by tho utter silence
of the boulevard of gaveties Wah Lee yes
terday morning proved the means of wak
ing its echoes for a spell.
The Chinaman had a box of red, white
and blue horns, of the raucous sort, which
had been left on Ills hands unsold by the
untimely death of the Pike. These ho
opened yesterday morning, and, concluding
that ho could not sell them, he determined
to distribute them to that much of the
public which might bo found traversing
the lonely Pike.
Accordingly he towed the box out upon
the Btreet in front of the Chinese village,
and to all who passed by he proffered one
of the red, white and blue Instruments of
torture.
"Takee blowee." sajd Wah with a wide
grin of generosity on his guileless counte
nance. "Fine Mcllcan hoi, makee much
noise."
At first Wah and his horns were passed
by with contempt by the wayfarers who
thought he was trying to sell them. Very
soon, however. Wah succeeded In con
vincing passersby that he was acting sole
ly as a philanthropist and that the horns
wero "on him." Then he found no troublo
In disposing of them.
To everyone who accented a. horn Wah
encouraged him to "tly blowee," and when
the horn was winded ho gave a wide grin
ot satisfaction. Soon everyone was blow
ing a horn, including policemen and Jeffer
son Guards, and when the din was at Its
height Wah Leo had disposed of his last
horn and soemed Immenscy pleased. He
had witnessed one more noisy time on the
Pike.

LULL II FIRING
AROUND ZEIGLER

Though Union Leaders Say
Thev Will Hold Out.
ARE PREPARED FOR STRUGGLE.
Declare They Will Continne the
Fight Until April. 100(5, at

With Leiter Will Expire.
i$r a st rv comtnsro.vnnNT
5Msler. III.. Dec. 7 To all appearances
within the mining town or Zflsler the
backbone of tho still-e is brokrn. The
mine Is running full time and is produc
ing and shipping an average of f0 tons
daily, and Ince the coming of the State
troops the disturbance about the town has
been gradually reduced until in the last
three nights the few shots which have
been fired cimc perhaps from the guards
who wero unncccssaril alarmed by seeing
objects in the darkness.
Members of the United Mine Workers
of America, who inaugurated the strike
and who are still picketing tho town with
the purpose of persuading the nonunion
men to quit tho Leiter mine, say they
have not withdrawn from their position
of absolute oppooition to tho ultimatum
which Mr. Leiter delivered last July and
wluch was followed by tho walkout of the
miners and the declaration of the strike.
Tho leaders of the organization, which
has its headquarters at Camp Turner, and
repiesentatives In every one of the towns
and villages sunounding Zelgler say they
are prepared to continue the struggle in
definitely and will do so. Ihev- have be
hind them the full support of the State
and national orgunUitions. and Insist that
they are In share to keep up their nd
of the contest until some settlement is
readied.
In April. 1S0S, the agreement now- elst
ing bclw ten the mine operators and th
miners expires bv limitation, and a new
conference will then be ncessarj. Hepre
sentaUvcs of the miners state that unless
some terms of peace are agreed upon in
the meantime thev will continue tho
struggle until that time, at least.
llw Leilci m magcrs consider the propo
sition tiom the same standpoint, except
that they .see no definite time for the end
ing of the strike. Their every preparation,
the fortifjing of the town, their arrange
ment of machinery and their contracts
with laborers and for their product are
based on the asiumpt an that tl.ev are
facing an ab-olutelv Indefinite continua
tion of the conditions now present at
Zelglei.
Tney repeatedly emphasize, and Mr.
J.Mter in an inteivicw in Chicago recently
s-aid that a union miner never will bo per
mittcl to work in Zeigler. It is generally
believed here that theie will never be .1
move made or a proposal accepted bv Mr.
Leiter, which will lead to a compromise
which has for .1 basis a lecognition of the
union in any shape or form
So long an there Is protection for the
nonunion men who are brought In from
tho outside, the Leiter mln s can be op
erated, and when the protection, military
or otherwise, ceases there will be dilli
culty in keeping the new men at work.
This Is conceded by both sides.
Tor tho past thrc nights there has been
no trouble whatever. A few random. shots
have been llred, but upon investigation
tho responsibility whs found to rest with
the guards, who Imagined vain things In
the darkness.
Last night five shots rang out In rapid
succession at the Dial blockhouse, and
thero was instant alarm throughout the
camp. 'Word. camo over the telephone that
ono of the enemy had been turrounded
and had been wounded and perhaps fa
tally. Judging by the groan.". He-enforcements
were hurried to the scene, but no
trace of the intruder was at first to be
found.
Loud cries ot anguirh finally led the ad
vance guard to .1 deep ditch, where, in the
last throes which preceded a terrible
death, lay a blind and crippled mule. The
mul was one of the strikers: at least, he
came out of the mlnp upon the day that
the strike was declared, since which event
ho had been given the privilege ot the
spreading fields of the Leiter property. To
day he rests in an unmarked grave not far
from the pumphouse. which has figured
largely In reports from the front, the first
victim sinco the advent of the army into
thp strike-ridden county of Franklin,
State ot Illinois.

She must have rare color not an arti

as it is susceptible to o cr-w ork and lack

Dr. i!. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.:
Dear Sir I am not given to writing
very much, but after using a remedv
for'v ears with uniform buccess I think
it not out of place to write a few lines
regarding same.
After finishing my education at the
Missouri Medical College (the oldest
college of any kind west of 3Iississippi
River), in 18S3, 1 commenced practicing
medicine in this country. For a num
ber of years I was very reluctant about
using anything not strictly ethical, but
for several veara I have been UBing Dr.
Pierce's favorite Prescription with
much success in treatment of the -.ar"?
ous female complaints. For youu
girls just changing to womanhootl it is
an excellent medicine to tide them
through that change, and for all irregu
larities of the monthly period I find it
the remedy. For pregnant women I
use it to tone up and strengthen the
delicate organs of generation. For
ladies suffering about the time of
change of life it is also a splendid
remedy. I know there exists a pre
judice with some doctors regarding the
use of proprietory remedies, but after
twenty years' experience I have learned
to use any remedv that will benefit my
patients, which I consider the logical
view a doctor should take of the snb
ject. Very respectfully,
Lelaxd Williamson, M. D.
Backed up bj over a third of a cen

a record such at no other remedy for
the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
women ever attained, the proprietora
and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription now feel fully warranted in
offering to pay $500 in legal money of
the United States for any case of en
corrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,
or Falling of Womb, which thev can
not cure. AH they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.
