Lillian Russell has taken to "punching the bag." Exclusive Ven'tnor, in the Lillian Russell-Moore cottage, is worked up over the fact. Morning after morning neighbors heard noises that sounded like the beating of carpets. After several days it was remarked that the Russell-Moore rugs would be worn out by constantly beating. Then the maid of Mrs. Lillian Russell-Moore was interrogated. "Why," said she, "Mrs. Russell, Moore is just getting the muscles of her arms and legs (she said legs) in good condition, so she is punching the bag. She can make that bag talk. She can bounce it off her head, her elbows and even her knees, when she lengthens the rope so she can jump that far." The maid also said that Alexander P. Moore, the Pittsburgh editor, has been forced to take up bag punching by his wife. The maid refused to describe Mrs. Lillian Russell-Moore's punching bag costume. Pathetic Devotion of a Man's Wife. New York Aug. 26.?A mother accompanied by her six small children sat on the curb at the entrance of Gouveneur Hospital 12 hours each day for nearly a fortnight praying for the recovery o"f her husband, Daniel Reed, who was taken there early August suffering from an incurable malady. ,She explained to the hospital authorities that her husband was so fond of the children she thought it might be a comfort to him to know that they were near. The man is expected to die within 24 hours, it was said to-day. ONCE FAMOUS i NOW Geo. Wingfield, Nevada markable Career.Over Twelve That very dignified, somewhal sleepy and altogether respectable body, the senate of-the United States, has a new member who will add much, to its picturesqueness. He is George Wingfield, gambler and "gun man," who has been appointed senator from Nevada by Gov. Oddie tc fill out the unexpired term of the late Senator Nixon. The other senator from Nevada is F. G. Newlands, of Reno, who is a graduate of Yale. Wingfield is the leading gambler of the West. He is the owner of the Tonopah Club, where the biggest of all the Nevada tigers has its lair. The "tiger" attains its largest growth in Nevada just at present. Wingfield is the pale, iron-nerved type of man that once used to be common on the Mississippi river steamboats and in the dealer's chair of Western fare banks, but which now is fast disappearing. Though his reputation as a "gun man" extends to the furthest frontiers, he is said never to seek a quarrel. When one is thrust upon him, however, none ever has been quicker on the trigger than he. With the legal wreapons used in the games of hieh finance he is reputed to be equally swift and sure. He is years old, and his fortune is estimated at all the way from $12,000,000 to three times that amount. It is no especial wonder that Wingfield was appointed to succeed Nixon. He and Nixon were partners for years' in various enterprises, and each amassed much wealth. Together they practically controlled the politics of Nevada. Up to not long ago gambling was a recognized and perfectly legal business or industry in Nevada. It was protected by law. It no longer is legalized, but it goes on just as of old. Out in Nevada it is not considered anything against a man to gamble or even to own a gambling house or to conduct one. Senator Wingfield is interested in mining also and in a number of other things that bring him in considerable wealth. The Tonopah Club is said to yield him. an annual income of some $200,000. How much he derives from his other enterprises is not kn,own. No one hazards a guess at the1 amount, and Wingfield, one of the most secretive of men, never has given a hint. The rise of Geo. Wingfield from an impecunious cowboy gamblerr tc the senate of the United States is remarkable in its swiftness. There are various versions as to how he got his start. The most widely accepted story and one which Wingfield never has denied, is that he blew into Tonopah in 1901 with $150, which he had borrowed from Nixon, .the man he succeeds in the senate. In fact, from that day until the time of Nixon's death, recently, the careers of the two men ran along the same channel. Wingfield was born, some say, in Arkansas, others Oregon and still others New Mexico. Until Senator Wingfiled's official biography is printed in the Blue Book of Congress no one will be able tc say what State, is entitled to the honor. As a youngster he became a cow puncher and later landed at Golconda, a mining camp near WiDnej mucca, Nev. There he became acquainted with Nixon, who, until his ! election as senator in 1904, was president of a bank at Winnemucca, a way station on the Southern Pacific. Nixon was also the "State agent" for that railway. At Golconda and at Winnemucca Wingfield bet on the cards in the faro banks consistently and carefully, but with varying fortunes, for then, as now and as always, a square game is merely a tradition. He -did a little cow punching and a little mining, but mostly he was a gamblng house hanger-on. Poker, faro and keno had equal charms for Wingfield. Finally he went flat broke and got the historic $150 stake from Nixon. Wingfield had heard that the game at Tonopab was "easy" and decided to go thither ana iesu it. Wingfield found Tonopah "easier" than he expected. He had a great run of luck and pyramided and parlayed his winnings until they reached several thousands of dollars. Then, after he had repaid his ?150 Nixon loan, he determined to quit bucking faro from the player's side of the table, so he started the Tonopah Club. He had a partner in this, but it was not long until Wingfield's share as principal owner in the enterprise was valued at more than $1,000,000. Up to 1906 Wingfield was not regarded as being anything more than a "boss" gambler. He attended strictly to his business at the Tonopah Club and made money hand over GAMBLER I IN U. S. SENATE 's Senator, Has Had Re?Said to be Worth Million Dollars. : | fist. There was plenty of money in i circulation. The mines in that now , | famous district were yielding up L j their treasures at the rate of more 11 than $1,000,000 a month. Goldfield i had a population of 15,000. The 'town's bank deposits totaled $15,( 000,000. Real estate on the main i! street was he'd at $1,000 a front c j. T7< TVl/-.T-rt iuui. Hiver^ uiie uau iiiuuc.*. mcic : were plenty of saloons and gambling houses. Not many years before men had died of thirst in the desert which ,! was there. Wingfield was making i big money at Tonopah, but he saw > in Goldfield a chance to make more. L f What gave him the idea was another [ | lucky stroke of fortune. ? I One night a Mr. Elliott, who had ! "cleaned up" in Bullfrog and who i j had become a partner in a mine- pro>! moting firm at Goldfield, was in the ! Tonopah Club. Elliott was a plung;ier, and that night he dropped $20,; 000 at Wingfield's place. When aski ed to settle he tendered a check for Lj $5,000 and a certificate for 100,000 i shares of Goldfield Laguna Mining i company stock, which was then sell;! ing at fifteen cents. This was aci ; j cepted. Wingfield began to take an 11 interest in mining stocks from that | time forth. In a short time Laguna I was selling freely at $2 a share. Incidentally, every one who work;; ed at the Tonopah Club got to maki' in.g money in mining shares. Wingi field was the Andrew Carnegie of Ne.1 vada. All his "young men" prosper ed. One of his faro dealers pro1 moted Goldfield Dgisy, which bal;j looned up to a $6 share on a capitalii zation of 1,500,000 shares. At the ! market price in those days the mine j was worth $9,000,000, but it never ; | earned a dollar for its stockholders, i That sort of thing made Wingfield : | keener than ever. He and Nixon drew > j closer together. They made some ] profitable deals in mining properties and then they formed a pool and acquired ownership or control of the merged $36,000,000 Goldfield Con. solidated, which was their corporate i creation. ' After that Wingfield's connection; with the Tonopah Club did not take s much of his time. He was in th^ i thick of things at Goldfield,. and was. ' reputed to be the power behind the ' market in mining stocks. Once Nixon had been the bigger man; now I Wingfield was regarded as the chief, ' i j and Nixon only a circumstance in the II partnership. Wingfield belonged to (I the Goldfield Stock Exchange and ) t was an active and conspicuous mem ber. Even out on the curb where j there was buying and selling far into I! the night, he always was in the thick l ! of the fray. What he said?and he i said little?was telegraphed to the J mining stock markets of the east as [ j authoritative opinion. The leading , I citizens of the place used to congreI J gate at the Montezuma Club, and II there Wingfield would remark cau; tiously that such and such a stock , | would sell at $20 before it would sell 'at $10. The New York curb market : would have the news by the. time it i opened, and the Goldfield Stock Ex change would have a lot of fresh buy-ing orders from the public by the - time it began business next morning, always at higher prices. Those were golden days. ? Wingfield had just turned his thirtieth year then. He is described - by one who knew him well as being of meager frame. His face showed as extreme pallor that might have come from ill health, years of hard1 ship or careless habits. This was all the more striking because nearly ev ery one in Goldfield' or Reno or Tono pah or anywhere, else in Nevada is ; deeply sunburned. Only the dealers and lookouts in the gambling houses >. are untanned, even by the suns of other years. Wingfield's gaze never i was ready. It continually shifted to fro, perhaps a matter of habit, i A man who deals or works as look out in a gambling house has to keep a swiftly shifting eye on every part ' of the board. Wingfield was cold of manner and taciturn of disposition. He was noted as a cool, calculating, selfish, sure-thing man?a gambler who had turned man of affairs. He was infinitely patient in waiting for things to come his way, at the same time accelerating them as quietly and safely as he could. But, master of ' the mining stock market and boss | gambler that he was, he found his l sole relaxation at playing stud poker, s In this, the stiffest of all games to play, he was a consistent winner. He was famed all over Nevada for the half-cunning expression he was wont to assume, which deceived his opponents into believing he was bluffing when he wasn't. Many tried to imitate him in this respect, but failed. There was only one Wingfield. Like Napoleon, he was unique. As the years went on Wingfield ai Nixon tightened their hold on t mines and the banks of Nevada. Ni on was below middle height, rath inclined to stoutness, but very da per. His steel-gray eyes were abs lutely without expression, but he w a kindly companionable man coi pared to Wingfield. Wingfield gat ered a newspaper or so into his ne Usually he had to take them on for closure proceedings, for he was patron of literature when it cdme lending money to a Nevada newsp per, although he was inexorab about claiming what was due hi when the term of the loan expired In those days, about six years ag when everything and everyone w riding on the top wave of prosperit the Democrats were victorious in tl State election. Sparks was elect< governor, and Denver S. Dickerso the candidate of the labor unior lieutenant governor. Some time b fore that Dickerson had been confim in the "bull pen" at Cripple Cree 117 V> c. r> fVici rr/^tr ^ r*-r? m ont lio/1 171 foTirOTI i ?? lit 11 5U? Ci illXl^UL u XJL v4> v& 1UUV1 ? \^ XX \ the quell the labor riots there. N long after that a labor war threa ened Goldfield. A few of the "wi ones" saw it coming, and sold o their holdings at top prices. Th< made millions. They rather liki the idea of a labor war, so they cou buy back their stocks at bankru sale prices. It was then that Win field practically broke the back the labor revolution that threaten! Nevada. It was then also he provi that he was a man of the colde daring. Goldfield was in the power of tl miners' federation and the "hi* graders" had the situation, th< thought, by the throat and were di tating their own terms. Even t] newsboys on the streets were fc bidden to sell papers that said an thing against the miners. Eve form of industry was flocking to tl side of the miners. The whole cou try was terrorized by them. At tb juncture Wingfield let it be knov that unless the miners "shut up" ai crawled into their holes he not on would shut down all the mines Goldfield and Tonopah and Bull Fr< and the other big camps, but wh< he had starved the miners back work they would have to resume reduced wages. v The miners we aroused to a fighting pitch by fc pronouncements. Then, when ever thing was at its greatest tensio Wingfield sauntered up and down t] main street of Goldfield. He let .be known that he was armed to tl teeth and that he dared any min .to "get him." He showed hims< ostentatiously, contemptuously. I told the newsboys to sell what th pleased; that he would kill the fir man who raised a finger against the or any one else who was his frien Wingfield was the coolest man camp. Pale-faced, anemic, ill-loo ing, this one man defied the whc miners' federation, and not one mi dared even look askance at him. Wingfield's reputation as a "gi _ 1 i ^ n J man seems 10 nave ueeu wen u served. It is reported that he '%e bad" when he was fifteen. Wheth the tales about his personal encour ers and the many notches on his gi are true or not, two things are ind: putable. One is that in every gai bling house he ever has had anythi] to do with the most perfect ord has been maintained. They ha been much less noisy than the Unit States senate.' The other is the co temptuous courage that he show at G.oldfield in those days of the 1 bor war.. The Tonopah Club is a rath handsome and imposing gamblii house even for the far west, whe such things flourish. In elegan( of course, it could not be compar to Canfield's or some of the oth noted places that New York h known, but in size and quantity of i play even New York has nothing < it. The usual Nevada gambli: house is a very business like plac In Reno the principal games are i the street along which the railro; track runs. They are on the grou] floor. The rooms are about 20 fe wide and perhaps 10 feet deep. Ti floor is bare and covered with dui The Dlaees run niaht and day, and t! men employed there work threeshil of eight hours each. Every hou has an automatic piano, and o: place has a set of painted studies the nude, which local legends a cost $30,000. Those are the on aesthetic appeals in any of the gai bling houses. There are no chai except for the faro and stud pok players. One house has a racii board and another a keno game. Cn and twenty-one also are played. E erything is as quiet as a groce store on a Saturday night, and mu< busier. Killed in Same Old Way. Howard, Mich., Aug. zz.?Dr. F.
