JERoME's FIGHT CLOSED.
Evidence Against Proprietor of
Swell Resort Obtained Only
After Years of
Labor.

New York. Dec. 7.-Richard A. Garfield
to-day pleaded guilty before Judge Cow
ing to an Indictment charging him with
keeping a gambling house. and was dis
chared upon payment of $1,000 fine.
His manager, David Bucklin. entered a
similar plea, and was fined the same
amount. The recommendation for this ac-
ton was made in each case by District
Attorney Jerome, who has spent many
thousands Of dollars in the fight against
Garfield. which is thus brought TO close.
Both indictments were returned by the
Grand Jury to-day.
The witnesses whose names were signed
on the indictments were employees in Can
fields place, and their names were fur
nished the District Attorney by counsel
for the defense.
Canfield's house is situated next door to
the city's most fashionable restaurant and
all his patronage came from the wealthiest
men in the city. For years 1t was i'm
possible TO obtain evidence against him,
as no one was admitted to the house ex-
cept persons known personally to Canfeld
or Bucklin, or vouched for by one of the
regular patrons of the house.
District Attorney Jerome several years
ago began determined effort to secure
the necessary evidence. and to this end
he subpoenaed Jesse Lewisohn, a member
of prominent business firm, and called
on MIR. Lewisohn to answer whether he
had ever gambled in Canheld's house.
LewiSohn refused to answer on tie
ground that he was not required to give
reply which might tend to incriminate
or degrade him. A special act was passed
by the Legislature to provide immunity to
witnesses who might testify as Mr.. Levi
sohn had been asked to do. Still. however,
Mr.. Lewisohn declined to answer. on the
stitutional
He fought the case to the Court of Ap-
peals, the highest in the State. and re-
Gently that court handed down a decision
sustaining the act and holding that Mr..
Lewisohn should testify.

Her Experience
On The Stage.

"EERY girl wants to be beautiful,
for she knows that in beauty she
~ has a power and control over
men. Rarely is it true that a
girl can have beauty without health.
She must have rare color-not an arti-
fetal one-which only health can give,
but the physical organization of our
women is as sensitive ard highly strung
as it is susceptible to over-work and lack
of care, and no period of woman's life
is more critical and liable to external
influence than the change from girl
hood TO full physical development. At
the threshold of womanhood when
some girls are already thinking OF the
engagement ring, the health fails; or
just when fine career on the stage
opens to her, her strength breaks down
and all her plans and ambitions have
to be given up. She becomes nervous,
high-strung, and irritable through this

loss of control over herself, which is
really not her fault but due to the func-
tons ard weaknesses peculiarly fem
inine. Often she loses her friends or
her position through this nervous break
down. Here is the experience of a

fession, whose portrait is given above.

dress is $40 North Main Street, Water

Notwithstanding the long hours
and fatigue incident to my profession,

SAYS .COPPfROPOLIS
NINE IS A CORKtR

Marion A. Butler, of Portland,
law partner of United States Senator
John II. Mitchell, is nothing IL not
enthusiastic over the remarkably rich
showing at the Copperopolis mine,
at QuartzburR, in which he is heavy
stock holder. and en- route to which
he and General Manager W. w.
Gibbs passed through Sumpter
this morning.
81 believe" said Mr.. Butler to q
Miner man this morning at the
depot, "that the Copperopolis will
develop into one OF the greatest, IL
not absolutely the greatest, copper
mine In the Northwest. Recent de-
velopments have opened body of
copper ore, fifty seven feet wide,
thoroughly and evenly mineralized
clear across, 500 feet long, being
opened at three points, and 247 feet
deep. The ore Is the prettiest ever
taken from a mine. 1t will grade
high, so high that the recent state
ment made by the mining editor OF
the Portland Journal. that IL will
average from one to three per cent
copper. Is utterly and intentionally
absurd. Furthermore. the ore is not
refractory, as the Journal assumes.
It Is susceptible Of easy conoentra-
tion, as proved by elaborate analyses
aud repeated tests In bulk. Manager
Gibbs, who is depeveloping the prop
erty, is, the man who opened the
mother lode on the Sunset mine in
British Columbia. He is both q
scientific aud practical miner. lie
knows the theory Of ore deposition
aud can put In an upper. Work at
the Copperopolis is entirely In his
hand,. Next spring he will order
the installation OF q concentrating
plant. the product to be shipped to the
Sumpter smelter. Pending that time
development will be kept up, so that
when the plant is ready there will
be ore enough, aud of sufficiently
high grade, to make the Copperopolis
a corker."

A Slip Of the Tongue.

The language and habits Of the lawyer
often stick to the senator. although he
may have occupied a seat in Congress
for many years. This was exemplified
during the past week when Senator
Mitchell of Oregon endeavored to have
passed his bill making further proyfs-
ions for the civil government of Alaska.
There was objection to some portions
of the bill on the part of Senator SpOoner,
whereupon Mr.. Mitchell wanted it to re-
sumo it's place on the calendar without
prejudice, to be in readiness to be called
up again The habits of the lawyer then
cropped out in the speech of the expert
enced senator.
Mr. President" he said, 'let the case
go to the docket without prejudice. Let
it resume it's place on the docket"
These little slips of the tongue are al
ways looked after by the official stenog-
raphers, who are far from being mere
mechanisms. In the Record of the fol-
lowing day the request of the senator ap-
peared in the following approved form:
Mr.. President, 1 ask that the bill may
go over without losing its place."
