ABOUT IRONING.

The greatest care is neces
sary in washing and ironing
fine table llinen. Linen should
be slightly starched, unless one
has the knack of ironing il
while damp until perfectly dry
like French women do, which
gives the proper stiffness.
Let tablecloths and napkins
get perfectly dry; then pull in
shape, dampen, pack tightly
and iron on both sides, the
right one first, to give the high
ly polished surface.
Fold napkins square and
cloths lengthwise first, the cen
ter line ever affording a guide
to one setting the table toplace
everything exactly straight.
Linen should be made very
damp and ironed dry. Nothing
is repulsive or unhealthful than
damp linen. Sheets are not
made as damp as a cloth as
they should be soft when per,
fectly dry.
All table linen that is embroid
cred with colored silks should
be washed quickly in suds made
with CASTLE soap, rinsed thor
oughly, then rolled in clean
sheets and ironed Immediately.
1t should be ironed perfectly
dry.

JOHN w. CAFES, BORN GAM
BIER.
Character Sketch of the Man Who
Controls the Steel Trust and
Makes Stock Rise
and Fall.

and Fall.
John w. Gates is the most
dar ing gambler and Spectator
in the world at the present
time. He was born in Illinois
tiftytwo years ago-in 'Du
Page county, and his early ca
reer is shrouded with that con.
yenient mystery which so often
conceals peccadillos Of youth
and humble origin. He was
blessed with a body of iron mus
cles, large bones and sinews
fitted TO stand many a strain of
overwork or overindulgence.
He is supposed to have done
field work, odd chores, cattle
tending and country store help
ing until the time when he bios
somed into fame. He was 35
years of age when he first APP
peared as a business man a
dealer in barb wire patents, OBJ
tainable in any cid way.
He had been married at Gales
burg for a period, married and
was the possessor of $3.50, CAPT
ital which his fatherin-law
gave to him. Suddenly he
jumped to st. Louis, secured an
Office and posted himself as a
dealer in railway supplies. No
one knew him, but he could tell
the kind of story that some
commercial men like, he indulg-
ed in the habits that go with a
liberal day of living, he would
play poker at any hour of the
day or night and he always
took chances. Long shots were
his favorites, and as the God.
dess of Chance was smiling up.
on him he prospered-tinancial
ly.
Even in those early days it
was said of him as it had been
in the later years-anything
with Gates is right. so long as
it goes right. He was not a
student of the ethics of finan
Cial morality. AS he is once
said to have put it: I'm al
ways right; it's, the other fell
low that's wrong" o.
About the time Mr.. Gates
came to st. Louis the Washburn
& Moen company controlled all
the rights for barbed wire in
this country. They guarded
their patents jealousy, though,
but what in his tunneling for
advancement Mr.. Gates acct.
dentally or otherwise came
across some of their old barb
wire machinery. How this
passed into his control is some
thing not discussed. He took
it to an out-of-the-way locality
in the Iron Mountains and
there secretly set up a barb
wire plant of his own. BY sub
terranean methods it made him.

cesses of manufacture of the

In a short time Mr.. Gates wa
! Offering barb wire at price 2
percent lower than the Wash
burn. Moen company was selling
it tor. He made a handsome
profit at that. The owners
of the patents sued him
In functions were served
Heavy judgments for damages
were secured against Gates anc
his associate, Edenborn. Both
laughed at the law and The
courts. The courts ordered
their hidden plant seized. They
refused to give it up. Officers
of the law went after it, and
was moved about the country,
always a day ahead of the pur
suers, always manufacturing
wire.
This, of course, was open vi.
olation of the law, but as an
intimate of Mr.. Gates put it:
HE respects no one but him
self" For a year and a half
Mr.. Gates kept his plant out of
the clutches of the law and then
tn ewealthy Rumsey family of
st Louis decided that he was a
good thing" and joined forces
with him.
The Missouri Wire company,
with a capital of 800, 900, was
formed. Mr.. Edenborn did the
actual work in getting together
while Mr.. Gates calculated
how he could still circumvent
the law and his rivals. A leg
al fight followed, which ended
in the Washburn & Moen com.
pauy buying out the Missouri
Wire company. In that way
Mr.. Gates gained the fortune
that brought him to Chicago as
an Illinois Steel company
official. His recklessness in st.
Louis in all that he did kept the
conservative business public
from ever giving him the credit
his fortune entitled him to, but
he did not mind that.
Queerly enough, Mr.. Gates,
while liberal spender of mon
ey at the poker table or the
Stock Exchange, is not liberal
publicly nor privately. The
old English expression applies
to him, "'E bites is pennies.
AS the president of the Illinois
Steel company for a time, he
was known amonghis subordi.
mates as the hardest taskmaster
ever placed over human beings.
The employees in the offices in
Rookery building were in per-
petual state of terror. Mr..
Gates made and unmade rules
designed to make employees
groveling lickspittles, and for
the time he fairly succeeded in
this. He hated the newspa-
pers. He is quoted as having
said, They are pests on the
face of the earth"
At the time he was trying to
form a nail trust a certain Chi
cago newspaper man learned of
his plans and called on him to
have the information confirmed.
Mr.. Gates in fury ordered him
out of the Office, and then sent
word through his departments
that this reporter should never
be admitted to them again.
"For that matter" he said,
keep them all out. I don't
want them around"
DeSnite his nrecautiOnS the

such as to subject him to the
severest criticism and it ha:
beer a wonder in inner CONNER
cial circles of Chicago that he
was not openly removed. His
wealth saved him that.
His rigging" propensities
ed him to try his hand on Fed
eral Steel and it's organization,
but it has always been reported
that the opposition of H. H.
Por ter forced him to keep out
of that. The old time, hard.
headed railroad man. who had
been accustomed to one way of
tinancieriHg, could not stand for
the Gates methods, and said
bluntly if the latter was to
manage Federal Steel he
would see it to that Federal
Steel never was organized.
Next came American Wire
and Steel, and the history of
that, the gambling in it's man
age ment and stocks, the late
ri gging" and the throwing of
seve raj thousand of men out of
employment is known to every
body. No one intimately ac-
quai nted with Mr.. Gates is sur
prlsed at what has happened.
He loves gambling as others
love a good table or a good
horse. He would rather play
polk er with cash or stocks than
to do anything known to man.
And up to the present time the
tick lie Goddess Chance has Civ
en- him the best of it. He is
supposed to be worth SIS, 000,-
00U.
He is not fond of books. He
does not care for art. He did
have his name mentioned for
the governorship of Illinois,
but that was in a newspaper
which he controlled. No 9th.
er paper mentioned it. He has
been the intimate Of, Governor
Tanner since 1896, and the two
have played poker together
all over the west and south. 1t
is said the governor never won
in these games, and that his
salary and perquisites are now
part of Mr.. Gates fortune, but
that may be baseless rumor.
1t has never been questioned
but that in the Allen law fight
of two years ago and the gas
trust fight Mr., Gates took an
important part for the governor
and Messrs Lorimer. Jameson
and some others. He appeared
at that time to own a consider
able part of the state capital
and he rugged" the game there
as effectually as he did the
stock market three days ago.
He is cold blooded. Nothing
appeals to him but an opportu-
nifty to get the best of the 10Th

ships are unknown. Indeed, it
is doubtful if he has any. The
people he held close to him
either could not get away or
were parties to his transac-
tions. His old time Chicago
employees spoke of him with
bated breath. He was master
of everything he set his eyes
upon and he enjoyed it. He has
never taken part in public af-
fairs save to disturb confidence
in something or other. He is
married and has children
