to the light for a closer inspection. There

After the conference with her law
yer, Miss Eastman lost no time in get
ting a position and spent her savings
to hold her claims. The money came a
little at a time but the work progressed
slowly.
Miss Eastman has a pleasant face,
dark eyes and prepossessing manners.
Among the hotels at which she was en-
ployed was the Hotel Green, Pasadena,
Cal, and this summer at the Hotel Col
orado, Glenwood Springs. The guests
never suspected that the girl working
at the hotel had a fortune in sight.
Just before the sale of the claim for
s45, 900, when more correspondence than
usual was necessary, it leaked out at
Glenwood Springs that Miss Eastman
was soon to come into considerable
money. simultaneously, it is said, a
sutton appeared, but the shrewd bust
ness woman knew thing or two. The
enterprising young man got no encour-
agement.
Finally the deal was closed, and with
large credit there were those who ex-
pected to see the young woman's head
turned. But they were badly mistaken.
Her dresses were exceedingly modest.
Miss Eastman was in Denver yester-
day on her way to Phoenix, where the
rest of her copper claims are located.
Those of which she has not yet dis
posed are four in number. Her plans
for the winter are not yet announced,
except on one point-she will not have

From the day that young man starts
out to seek his first position to the end Of
his business life, his health has a world to
do with his success When a Young man
applies to business man for position, his
personal appearance has a deal to do with
the outcome, Personal appearance does
not mean dress aloneS 1t does not mean
exterior cleanliness alone A young man
may be clean, SO far as soap and water will
make him, but be disfgured by unsightly
pirnples, eruptons aud alterations on the
skin. These are due to impurities in the
blood The blood becomes impure because
it is Improperly nourished. Instead of
receiving the life giving elements of the
food, it receives the foul carnations OF

The reason that Dr.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the best remedy for
disorders of this description is that 1t goes

disorders of the digestion, and makes the

of the food perfect. 1t invigorates the

1t makes the muscles strong and active.

RICHES FoRWoRKINe GIRL
Dropped Job in Hotel to Sell One of
Her Mining Claims for $4,000.

'iOI NilIn9 SldlTUS LOT PfOJOOO.
Miss Abbie Eastman Of Phoenix,
Ariz., fought with genuine American
pluck against Strengthened circumstan-
ces.. but she is now financially indie
pendent. Yesterday at a local hotel,
where she was a guest, she told the
story of how ten days ago one of her
copper claims netted her $4,000. Miss
Eastman is only 2S years old. She has
always worked for a living. But nature
has given her much energy and a
strong will. and when three years ago
her uncle left her five copper claims
in Arizona, not far from Phoenix, she
visited her claims to learn the value Of
her inheritance.
She consulted a lawyer. "He told
me-" said she yesterday, that the
claims looked promising. but that in
order to hold them a certain sum of
money would be required every month.
Then considered where that money
was to come from as I had none of my
own. So after failing to find any other
solution, l resolved to get employment
in hotel When l told the lawyer what
intended doing, and how l meant to
set aside every cent that could be
spared from my wages, In order to de-
velop the claims, he said he admired
my determination, but wondered

DENoUNcEs GEN. OTIS.
Private Richford Says Rochette is Out.
raeeousIy imprisoned.

Private Edmond Richford of Com
pany A of the Twenty third regiment
Of United States regulars returned to
his home in this city Friday after
spending IS months fighting the Span
iards and the Filipinos.
Private Richford was seen by The
Spy reporter, but refused to say any
thing about his service in the Philip
pines, except that he was mighty glad
to return to the United States. He said
that he enlisted at the local recruit
ing station in the Walker building when
it was first opened in this city by Capt.
Daniel f. Anglum.
He was assigned to the Twelfth regi-
ment, and sent to Fort Mcpherson, Ga.
When the call was made for volunteers
to go to the Philippines, young Rich
ford proffered his services, and he was
transferred to the Twenty-third regi-
ment.
He has been in two wars with that
regiment. He served under Maj.-Csen.
Wesley Merritt before the capitulatioa
of the city Of Manila by the Spaniards,
and was present when that important
event took place. Later, when the
spirit of the Filipinos was aroused, he
was again in the fighting, but refused
TO tell what battles he participated IN.
1t is well known that the Twenty third
regiment was in the thick of the fight
ing.
In speaking of that which is of vital
interest to many local people, the i'm
prisonment of Private William ]. Ro-
Ghetto, Richford said; 1T is a crying
shame and an act of rank injustice that
young Rochelle should now be under
going a ten-year sentence for killing
that Chinaman. Young Rochelle went
to the Philippines to, fight for his coun-
try in the war with Spain He suffered
many hardships which his comrades
were exempt from ewhfieH ON the way
over, he being the victim Of illness and
an accident. One day When in the city
of Manila he got into a fight with a
murderous Chinaman. In that country
YOU dou't know from whom to expect
a knife thrust, and it was a case of Ro-
Ghetto being killed, If he did not kill
the Chinaman. The Chinaman attacked
him with a monkey wrench, and Ro-
Ghetto wrested the weapon from his as
sailant and struck the Chinaman. who
died from the effects of the blow. 1t is
not so sure in my mind that the China
man died from the effects of the blow
though the summary court-martial
which was called said So"
When asked what his opinion was Of
the fighting qualities of the major
general commanding the troops there,
Private Rochelle expressed his con-
tempt of General OTIS and said that
he should be cashiered ont of the army
without any loss of time. HE is a
hindrance to the termination of the
present conflict, and all he does, as far
as we could see, was to play billiards

FIGHT AGAINST DAILY.
Master Plumbers Associa-
ton Firm in It's De-
mands.

The Master Plumbers association did
not retreat an inch yesterday in it's
fight against Edward j. DAILY, the Pearl
street plumber, who buys goods of the
Callahan Supply company. Neither
did Mr.. DAILY, and non-union men will
probably fill the places of the five
journeymen plumbers and the two
helpers who went out because of Mr..
Days allegiance to the Callahan Sup
ply company
The workmen will have no difficulty
in getting employment as the master
plumbers are in the midst Of their busy
season, and journeymen are not plenti-
full. The fact that Mr.. Daily held stock
in the Callahan Supply company has
been known for months by members of
the Master Plumbers association, Of
which organization Mr.. Daily was
treasurer.
The association did not slop over
when it was shown that the treasurer
was a stockholder in the bitterest rival
of the combine. The members calmly
waited until there would be an object
in calling upon the Journeymen Plumb
ers' union to call out its men.
During the summer months it has not
been productive Of much wealth to the
master plumber TO pay journeymen the
union minimum wage rate of $3.50 per
day. but it kept the men in employ
ment.
Striking the blow at this time is espe-
cially foxy from the master plumbers
standpoint. The association has been
laying it wait for a chance TO assert its
strength, and boasts from the rival
camp have been unanswered. The
union clasps hands with the association
in it's fight against the Callahan Supply
company, and Ashley & Koran.
Sympathy does not cut any figure in
the outcome of the fight. Union plumb
ers are with the association heart and
soul. An ironclad agreement between
the union and association provides that
no union man can work for non union
firm, or one outside the combine. In
consideration of this trif1e, union men
get $3.50 per day, and their jobs are
