Dear Sirs: Several years ago I was severely afflicted with both Nasal and Bronchial Catarrh in so aggravated a form that it threat- ened to develop into something still more serious. I tried everything possible, in- cluding treatment of some of the best physicians in the south, but of no avail. One day I chanced to see an advertisement of the Pillow-In- haler. The idea upon which your treatment is founded—long-con- tinued inhalation—appeared to me to be a good one, and I pro- cured a Pillow-Inhaler as speedily as possible. I am happy to say I saw such marked improvement after a short trial of the Pillow that I deter- mined to use it faithfully, which resulted in effecting a thorough cure. I have recommended the Pillow Inhaler to many friends, always with good results, and can hon- estly say that it will do wonders where other remedies have failed. Yours truly, LOUIS T. NATHAN, 28 I street southeast. The Pillow-Inhaler has cured hun- dreds of stubborn cases after all oth- er means had failed. Get our free pamphlet from your druggist (if he has none, from our office, Room 31, Corcoran building), and learn exactly what the Pillow- Inhaler is. A THOROUGH investigation will convince the most skeptical that we have the only rational CURE for Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma, Grip, Throat and Lung Troubles. We sell the Pillow Inhaler.

Judge Woodward a Handsome Man— Sherif Martin’s Appenrance—Slavs Show Much Intelligence. | Spectal Correspondence of The Evening Star. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Febrvary 13, 1898. The old court house here, in which Sheriff Martin and his deputies are being tried for shooting the strikers at Hazleton, has been the scene of some noted trials. There are so meny foreigners in the county of Luzerne that desperadoes of all nationalities have been obliged to face here at different times the twelve men, ‘good and true,” who have meted out life or death to them. Not many yeurs ago I wit- ressed the excoriation of “Red Nose Mike” in this very’ room. When on the stand I saw the murderer quail and act the cow- ard when the damning evidences of his guilt were suddenly produced hefore him. And when the lawyers pinned him down to his story they made him confess, with hes- itating and stammering words, the story of his lying in wait, with two or three Italian cutthroats, and his own share in shooting down from ambush McClure the paymaster, and his companion, who, with $12,000 to pay off the railroad workers, had left only a short hour or two before the Wilkesbarre Bank. His murderous com- panions robbed him of his share of the ill- gotten treasure and fied to Italy, leaving him to go to the scaffold, an object of uni- versal execration. The Negro Shaeffer Tried There. In this room I listened to the testimony of Shaeffer, the negro, who told the story of the conspiracy of the negroes to rob the Hungarians who were working on the mcuntain railroad, and the devilish cun- ning with which the Huns were hurried to their fate by the dynamite exploded under their boarding house by the electric wires in the hands of Nelse Miller. Miller died in jail from disease before the day of nis execution. It is here that the sixty or more deputies are being tried for the killing of the twen- ty-two strikers who braved them on that tatal day, September 10. ‘lhe court room is about the center of the large brick court house, which occu- pies a prominent position in what is called the “public square” of the city. The room where the trial is held is about 80 by 50 feet and about 25 feet high. The long windows on each side of the room admit an abundance of light, and although the room has a high ceiling it seon shows its defective ventilation. A dozen or so pictures, mostly off, are group- ed on the walls and show the features of a number of well-known judges of the coun- ty, some living, some dead, who have dis- pensed justice in years past, and, if report Le true and the set features of some are any indication of the truth of the report, “the quality of mercy was not strained,” at least with scme of the able jurists, in their time. Court assembles about 10 o'clock in the morning. Judge Stanley Woodward, pres- ident judge of Luzerne county, who ts try- ing the case, appears promptiy. The coun- sel enter with equal readiness, and -the usual exercises that mark a court's opening ensue. The Judge 2 Handsome Man. Judge Woodward is a handsome man, about sixty years old, and comports him- self with dignity and fairness. In front of the judge and just below him are the official reporters and court clerks. Off in the extreme southeast corner a table is placed for the newspaper men. Two of the New York papers are represented by sev- eral reporters and artists. The sketches of the latter have been intolerable to every one. Several days ago the presiding judge administered a public rebuke for the aw- ful icatures they have sent to their papers as pictures of officials and jury, and for the inaccuracy of their reports. Next to the newspaper men sit the jury, who seem to be men of fair intelligence and active attention. In front ef the judge, and railed off from ithe rest of the room, are the seats for the attorneys and the counsel. The chief pro: cuting attorney is Col. T. R. Martin, j elected district attorney in a republican county on a democratic ticket. It has been whispered that the republican candidate who was renominated was beaten in the election last November on account of this very shooting in September, the miners and foreigners blaming him for allowing the sheriff to go to extremities with the strikers. Col. Martin is assisted h McGahren, former district attorney; M. Garman, now chairman of the cratic state committee of Pennsylvani: and others. For the defense are John T. L an, a prominent criminal lawyer of Wilkesbarre; H. W. Palmer, an ex-attor- ney general of the state; George S. of Pittston, an able attorney, who been the sheriff's attorney; has George Urqu- hart of Wilkesbarre and others of cqual ability. Sheriff Martin's Appearance. Sheriff Martin, who is cn trial, is a large man, with dark vide whiskers and black mustache, evidently a man of dctermina- tion. He sits with his counsel. Just outside the attorney's railing and back of it, to the right of the room, are seated the deputies. They are intelligent- looking and prosperous in appearance. The public are seated back and to the side of the deputies, and extend to the doors. During the trial there is always notice- able @ constant coming and going, espe- cially when some law point arises for ad- judication. The lawyers then work them- Selves up to perspiration; a mass of law books is sent for, and there is a general exodus of the curious. But when the wit- nesses are on the stand there is a quieting down and a filling up of the empty bencnes. Mr. Glassick, the court interpreter, has been largely in evidence. Witnesses sur- viving the names of Zappas, Platak, Yar- ich, Jantza, Salinski, Kelzkis, Joviski have been on the stand, and, besides testimony, we have had evidence of wounds received by the witnesses in scars shown to the jury and the lawyers. Some of the wit: nesses were asked to remove their shirts and then show the scars of their wounds on the back and sides of their bodies. It is a point with the prosecution to show that the strikers were shot after they had started to run away from the deputies, who fired, not to frighten, but to kill. There is considerable asperity shown between op- posing counsel, and at one time a sharp rebuke was administered by the court for violent language indulged in. Slavs Show Intelligence. The Slavs who testified, as a rule, mani- fested considerable intelligence, although one gave the name of his native country, but could not tell where it was, nor could any one alse locate upon any known spot of earth the outlandish name he gave. To the layman there seemed to be an un- necessary amount of testimony given to corroborate that to which all agree, viz, that the shooting was done by the deputies A Porfect Dinner.

After a day of this kind, rendered slow and tedious by the necessity of asking and answering questions thromgh a third party, court adjourns about: ¢;p.m., with worn- out lawyers, wearied judge, a much more fatigued jury and a lot of badgered, pumped and exhausted witnesses. Several days have already been spent in the examina- tion of the foreign witnesses, and doubtless @ number more will be a repetition of the one I have thus described. Effect of Lincoln Day. During the short session of the deputies’ trial on Saturday the atmosphere of the ccurt room was bearable, and all from the judge to the tipstaves were in better humor. On Lincoln's birthday some of his words seemed to be remembered, and there was evidence of “charity toward all,” even in the speeches of the opposing counsel. An important point was brought out by the defense in the testimony of one of the Prosecution’s witnesses, a Miss Kohler. €he is & servant girl employed at Lattimer, where the shooting took place. She test!- fied that every one was frightened at the approach of the strikers and went into their houses. “Were not you and your employer, Mrs. Williams, scared at the coming of the strikers?” the defense asked. ‘Yes,’ was the answer. “Was not Mrs. Williams scared to death?’ Mr. Lenahan for the defense inquired. “Yes,” was the reply. “You don’t mean that she was scared to death,” said Mr. Garman for the prose- cution, “‘since she did not die.” The pros- ecution did not seem to like this admis- sion, which was of importance in showing what the defense has insisted upon, namely —that the whole Hazleton region was ter- rorized at the time of the strikes. There is not much doubt that such was really the case. A case has been cited to me of an invitation extended to one of the mine owners to take dinner away from home on that day. After accepting the invitation some days before he telephoned in the morning of the day of the shooting that he could not come, as they were in great terror, not knowing what would hap- pen next. The stereotyped eget: ATTORNEY NILES IS FINED Convicted Today in Police Court of Assault- ing Oliver 0. Hack. Trouble Grows Out of the Demand for Payment of a Check—The Evidence. Edward G. Niles, a lawyer, was today fined $20, or, in default, sentenced to thirty days in jail, by Judge Miils, for commit- ting an assault on Oliver C. Hack, Febru- ary 1. Mr. Hack had hardiy begun to tes- tify, and had only said that a certain check in question was given to. the proprie of a house south of the avenue, when ) jumped up and said: “I object. Shut up your mouth.” Judge Mills here interposed by saying to Niles: 5 “You are represented by counsel, the government by Mr.’ Muflowny, and the court has something to say. Sit down and let your counsel conduct. your case.” This had the effect. of quieting the de- fendant. Resuming, Mr. Hack said he was ¢m- ployed by the Castelberg National Jewelry Company as a clerk. | He received a check in the regular course of business, given by Niles, and on the day named went to Niles’ office with the check, whieh calle: This had been presented at the b: which it was drawn, fused. Upon requesting Mr. Niles to make the check good, witness said he was asked if the house by which he (witness) was em- ployed collected for houses of question- able repute. Niles refused to pay the check and said he would pay the woman to whom he had given it. Niles then demanded the check and wit- n refused to let him have it. Niles then, witness said, struck him, knocked him down and kicked him in the head. Niles then called on his clerk to lock the door of the office, but this was not done. After witness got up from the floor, he said, Niles grabbed him around the throat cnd apparently tried to choke him. Judge O. D. Barrett, counsel for Niles, cross-examined Mr. Hack at much length. Mr. Davison’s Testimony. Mr. Clement Davison testified that the day of the assault Mr. Hack, after going to see Niles in reference to the check, re- turned to the store in a badly beaten ccn- dition. He had wounds cn his face and a large lump on his head. Mr. Hack’s whole appearance was that of a man who had been beaten unmereifully. Continuing, Mr. Davison said that ihe day following th2 assault on Mr. Hack Niles came up to Mr. Castelberg’s store and informed the witness and several others that he (Niles) had kicked Mr. Hack out of the former's office because he had called on him in reference to-the payment of a check held by Mr. Castelberg, and if there was anybody else there who wanted any- thing like he had given to Mr. Hack and would come down to the latter’s office he would give him some of the same. Niles then left the store, the witness said, but later returned and apologized to Messrs. Davison, Hack and Castelberg for his conduct. In His Own Defense. The defendant took the stand and admit- ted that he assaulted Mr. Hack, but claim- ed that he did not do so until after Mr. Hack called him a Har, and this was, he said, what “any gentleman would do under similar circumstances.” He denied knock- ing Mr. Hack down, and said it was im- possible to concelve that he would kick the complainant as charged; he would not do such a thing. On cross-examination by Mr. Mullowny, Niles admitted that after beating Mr. Hack he paid Mr. Castelberg the amount of the check in question, but reiterated that he was justified in his course, because, as he alleged, Mr. Hack had treated the witness in an insulting manner. He further ad- mitted having said that he kicked Mr. Hack out of his office, but asserted that this was merely a figure of speech; that he had only severely whipped him by using his fists i ot Charles W. Slater and;Charles Parkman testified for the defeyse,,, Both said they heard Mr. Hack screaming loudly, as though some one was,striking him. Judge Mills said the charge of assault was clearly made opt and imposed the penalty stated. The, defendant at once paid the fine. Eee" Before leaving the gourt room Mr. Niles asked Mr. Mullowny if be would give him a warrant for Mr. Hack’s arrest on the charge of perjury, but was told that he (Niles) had better think, further over the matter. ak upon and payment re- — MISS DINGLEY ROBBED.
