CAREER OF SHEEDY
One of the Countrys Greatest
Gamblers Dead
Interesting Incidents in the Life of
Sporting Man Recalled Recov
ered Gainsborough Picture
Aided Guerin to Escape
Chicago The Grim Reaper In the
last two months has called upon three
of the greatest gamblers this country
ever has known to cash In tiwlr
checks The term cash In their
checks is not used with disrespect
for death for had either of the trio
Dan Stuart AH Smith or Pat Sheedy
written this story it would have been
the most natural thing in the world
for them to have used the phrase
Of the trio Sheedy the last to die
probably was the most noted char
acter True Smith and Stuart were
wellknown In this country but
Sheedys operations reached out into
branches of life that the others never
invaded and made him a character of
worldwide reputation All were con
nected at times with pugilism and
horse racing Smith was the stake
holder for several championship af
fairs and was an authority to wh6m
hundreds of matters were left for set
tlement when there was any doubt
about a bet Stuart came into promi
nence when he pulled oft the Corbett
Fitzsimmons fight Sheedy was one
of the early backers and friends of the
mighty John L Sullivan
Sheedy known on three continents
for his gambling and participation In
sports first gained prominerce In
those walks of life In Chicago He
began his career as a gamlfter at
about 1C He was 59 years at age
when he died In the good old days
of Mike McDonald and the Hankinses
In Chicago he ran gambling louses
here One of these was on Clark
street near where the Morrisonjhotel
is now When these days came to a
close Sheedy left for greener pas
tures and since then he visited Many
lands beyond the seas
But before his change Sleedy
played in big games of chance every
where and there is not a town to this
country where his name Is not krown
A one time he was known as the
greatest faro player in America but
he had to give that up becaua the
proprietors of the banks would n < t let
him play This was in the 80s Lfter
that he went to Cairo and openet the
Pat Sheedy
Ghesireh palace He opened his
house and the grand balls of Sheedy
Pasha as he was known became fa
mous For five years he ran the
Ghesireh palace which was the for
mer home of Ismael Pasha
Sheedy was the man who restored
the famous Gainsborough Duchess of
Devonshire portrait to the world of
art after it had been stolen and
missing for 26 years
The picture had been bought by C
Morland Agnew at an auction sale for
52000 and arrangements had been
made to have a celebrated engraver
make a plate Some 60000 had been
subscribed toward the project when
the English public was astonished and
horrified with the news that thieves
had broken into the house where the
portrait was kept and had cut it out
of the frame
And all trace was lost for 26 years
To be sure detectives had become
oonvinced that Adam Worth oneof
the most inventive and daring thieves
of modern times had engineered the
theft and controlled the portrait but
nothing had come of it Incidentally
however the detectives had asked
Sheedy to assist in bringing about
the restoration of the portrait if the
occasion offered
Another thing which will make
Sheedy remembered in the police and
criminal world is the fact he was the
man who engineered the escape of Ed
die Guerin from Devils island in the
French penal colony oft the coast of
Africa
Guerin was a Chicago product and
achieved International fame as a bank
thief confidence man and all around
crook Finally the French police au
thorities caught hold of him and sent
him to the famous African prison
Island
8o far as known Sheedy was moved
fcy no motive except pity for the
American At any rate he accom
plished the impossible and planned
matters so cleverly that Guerin got
away from the Island made his way
to the mainland and finally got to civ
ilization
Sheedy was known as a square
gambler and it is said that this cost
him one of the largest gaming houses
ever built In the world This was b >

FOR THE PIANO FUND
Students of the Palestine High School
Are Being Helped
The canvassing committee received
a favorable amount yesterday after
noon for the Piano Fund but their
success is limited bythe number of
citizens calledupon Since the pupils
on the committee are attending
school their time for soliciting is lim
ited to a few hours in the afternoon
Therefore it would he highly appre
ciated if the citizens would have their
dollars convenient which would save
the committee a great deal of time
and would shorten the time until a
piano will be in the High School
The fund stood Tuesday evening as
follows
Piano will cost 35000
Amount on hand 20500

A Piano Best
Of All
According to Addison Music is the most important material want of
human nature after food rainment and shelter t is the vehfele
for the expression of joy the most effectual solace for sorrow and
the most certain dispeler of loniiness where human companionship
is absent Music Entertains Educates and Refines those
who come in contact with it The UNIVERSAL INSTRUMENT
for the production of Music and for accompanying the human
voice is the Piano
Within a very few years it was almost impossible for any but the
rich to own a Piano Today almost any wage earner may gratify his
or her musical desires and secure possession of a thoroughly good
Piano at reasonable cost and on terms that can be readily met
The LeyhePlan of Piano Selling
Made This Possible
First by selling good Pianos at a fair FIXED
PRICE Second by allowing EASY PAY
MENTS without adding anything buta reason
able rate of interest to the fixed cash price
At Leyhe Companys you are not confined in

tory or manufacturing combination We do
not give prejudiced advice This is a store to
sell the Piano that will please and PERMA
NENTLY SATISFY the purchaser This is
why we have gathered here for comparison
and selection
The Broadest Assortment of Pianos
and Pianola Pianos of Known High

We have no reason to urge you to buy the wonderful WEBER
for its own rich brilliant tone will win the musical ear
We hall be no more urgent about the beautiful Chickering Bros
for the sweetness and purity of tone from its golden strings will ar
gue it intoVour delighted admiration 9
If you want to pay a little less you will see for yourself that the
superb Packard has no shortcomings even for the most critical
musician
Then we shall show you too the sweet voiced KIMBALL that
is loved in over 200000 homes
And the beautiful splendidlyconstructed true toned Davis
Sons that puts to shame most other instruments sold at its price
200 upward
Then perhaps most remarkable of all because of its small cost
the Hinze Piano at 195
BUT WAIT even after this remarkable assembly of Grands and
Uprights that is matched nowhere you are still to see and hear the
