Prisoners Have Dinner.

Headed by Ensign McClelland the mem- bers of the Salvation Army corps went to the Jefferson county Jail at 12 o'clock, armed with some one hundred baskets of the dinner for the prisoners confined there The jail officials assisted the army workers by allowing the prisoners the privilege of assembling in one crowd and before the baskets were given out a short service of thanks was held behind the bars. This consisted of prayers. short talks and music. The menu given the inmates was the same as that served to the people at the hall. II was 8 rare treat and will no doubt be long remem- bered by all who took part in the little feast
 Friends ' the outside sent many pres ents to Il prisoners in the jail during the day even these were not forgot ten by santa Claus For the time being | prisoners were made to forget their sh~ation and the jail officials did all In their power to make the day as pleasant for them as possible.

The attention of the Mining News
has been called to the fact that the
Dewey Mining comps ny, near Grange
Vile has persistently violated the state
fish and game law in that they have
failed to provide fish ladder in their
dam as required by law. Upon investi-
cation we find the charge to be substan-
TALLY correct, and as the deputy game
warden's attention has been called to
the infraction without any apparent eff
feet, we hereby respectfully call the at
tention of the executive to both culprits.

Did you ever count the words in a
column of ordinary newspaper print!
There are about two thousand words in
a column. Suppose you sit down and
write thousand words on some subject
and then another thousand on another
until you have written eight or ten
thousand. Try it and see if it is right
easy. Keep that gait up for month.
Then chase local item all over town,
and after you have got the facts all
right, condense them in few lines-an
hours work that can be read in few
seconds. Do this for dozen items that
seem insignificant after they are print
ed, but which you know are important
then have the items criticised and mac
curacies pointed out to you when it is
too late to correct them. Oh, yes, it is
easy. Exchange.

In reply to many letters of inquiry
from subscribers and others as to what
the C. r. M. & nj. company are doing,
when they are going to pay dividend,
what is their extraction per ton, when
will they make public the result of their
operations, etc., the editor of the Min
ing News can only say he has no official
information. From personal observa-
ton he can say that the operation of
the big plant has not yet been reduced
to system. This requires time in a
plant of this size, more especially where
it is situated so far from a railroad.
We believe when this end is secured the
management will take the public into
their confidence in greater degree
perhaps than they have right to ex
beet. but for the present we must be
satisfied with the broad statement thai
everything is panning out as good a.
the most enthusiastic friend of the en-
terprise could wish.

College Students Meet.

About sixteen of the college
students gathered at the rooms
occupied by Myrtis and Myrtle
Miller in the old college building,
to celebrate their classmates,
Myrle's eighteenth birthday in
regular old college style. Some

college way of celebrating and
their plans had to be somewhat
modified. But when classmates
meet together for "a good time
they should be excused for break

an extent. Lunch was served at

Begins Strange Career.
She was one of eight children, six
of whom were girls. Those who knew
her father say he was plain. honest
man. who worked industriously and
supported his family to the best OF
his ability. There is no record of &C.
centr:city in the girlhood years OF
Elizabeth Bigley In 1878. however,
she seemed to have begun the strange
career OF adventure which she has fol-
lowed ever since 1t is recorded that
IN November 81, 1878, Elizabeth Big
Low called at a barber shop in Brant-
ford Ont. and asked to have her hair,
which was hanging over her shoulders,
cut off. This having been done, she
asked for a false mustache. When at
length she sought to raise money on
oold watch the police were called in.
Her father was communicated with
ond she was taken home. Her pecul-
,.rities were soon made more manifest.
II became known that she was in the
habit of carrying card on which were
tho words: Miss Bigley, heiress to
SIX 600" To support this role she made
many expensive purchases. She
hought $3.50 worth of dry goods with

near Brantford. She also purchased

j., brother-in-law forced her to leave his
| house. Then she became acquainted
| with DR.. Wallace S. Springsteen. and
the marriage of the two took place on
December 3, 1883, and within II days
the doctor applied for a divorce. DR..
Springsteen became suspicious Of her
| and hired detectives to investigate her
stories concerning herself, and learned
for the first time that she had a sis
ter in the city and the story of her
difficulties with the money lenders
He also learned of her birth in East
wood, Ont. in 1857, and her trial for
forgery at Woodstock in 1879. of which
charge she escaped conviction on the
plea of insanity. Soon after the di-
vorce was granted. Which was asked
for on the grounds OF infiaelity. DR..
Springsteen received a letter from a
Buffalo attorney informing him that
Mrs. Springsteen was stopping at one
had empowered him (the attorney to
draw $4,000 on DR.. Springsteen on the
grounds that she had submitted to a
separation. The doctor Immediately
denounced her as an impostor.

After her divorce from DR.. Wallace

boarding house was kept by a Mrs.

on this trip nobody but those who took
part in it knows, and for obvious rea-
sons just now they are not telling.
What pranks were INDUCED in and to
what fantastic limits this money mad
woman went in order to shower luxury
upon the young girls only they them
selves know. This much, however, be-
came known when they returned to
Cleveland Mrs. Chadwick went into
the private Office of the head of the
big jewelry firm here and displayed u
exquisite miniatures painted on porce-
lain by one Of the greatest Partisan art
lists and had them framed in solid gold
Buys Store Full of Toys.
Just before Christmas several years
ago, Mrs. Chadwick walked into a
Cleveland toy store and pulled out a
written list that, according to the store
officials, was two yards long. Nothing
but toys was on the list. and when Mrs
Chadwick had finished buying. her bill
was in the neighborhood of $780, Dolls
galore were bought. Mrs. Chadwick
saying that she wanted something like
100, the price to range from one to
three dollars each. Personally she
made no selections. leaving that to the
clerks who waited on her, but when
the bill was presented it was paid at
once. The toys were distributed among
the orphan asylums and the different
children's wards in the hospitals and
many heart was gladdened that
Christmas by the benevolence of the
unknown person. as Mrs. Chadwick ex-
pressly stipulated in buying the goods
that the recipients must not know
where they came from.
Such, it is said, is a brief history Of
the mysterious woman whose audacity
has staggered the whole financial
world. The suit filed by Mr. Newton
has led to the unfolding of the mystery
and but for it she might still be con-
tinuing her operations.

city, giving her note in part payment.
When her note came due she did not
meet it, but gave another note, made
by the late Reuben Kipp. in security.
This proved a forgery and landed her
in Jail Her trial took place at the
spring assizes in 1879. She was de-
Tended by the late Ashton Fletcher,

made, she was acquitted on that
ground She disappeared from Wood

Goes to Cleveland.
After her disappearance from Wood
stock, in the summer of 1879. there is
no record of Elizabeth Bigley's where

however, she was first known in Cleve-

her sister, Mrs Alice M. York In
1882 her trouble with the money lend

was to borrow money on Mrs. York's
furniture. She gave them among other

In the history of ''frenzied finance
in this country, and in the entire
world for that matter. no case the
equal OF that of Mrs. Chadwick has
ever been known Recent disclosures
have startled financiers and business
men everywhere. How this woman,
apparently alone. outwitted shrewd
bankers and hard headed business men
and borrowed fortunes on mythical Sc
curities and bogus notes seems almost
beyond comprehension, but it seems
only too true.
Until the suit of Herbert D. Newton
OF Brookline, Mass. for the recovery
of loan of $190,sOO, and the failure
of the Oberlin co. national bank few
of her victims suspected she was any
thing but what she represented her
self to be, an extremely wealthy
woman. Then as the news of her sew
eral transactions became public the
history of her life gradually became
known. and most strange and inter
esting story 1t is 1t is said she be-
gan life on little Canadian farm in
Ontario, as Elizabeth Bigley. in 1857.
Afterwards she was known as Louise
