Philadelphia, Slay 8. The latest chapter In tho Rrcat counterfeiting coiiHplracy unearthed hero and In I.un tahter soino time ubo, which was open ed yestciday by the arrest of Harry Taylor, charged with passing Hpur our t10 Hamilton head note?, was closed today, when tho plates from which tho notes wero made were found hurled In a suburban highway. Ar thur Taylor and Daldwln S. Hrcdcll, tho cuguiA crs of alt tho cigar stamp plates, and the $100, $50, $20 and $10 notes, who are now awaiting (.en ten ets, gave the elite to tho whereabouts of the plates, but not until the secret berv to opeiatlvcs had them Inextri cably eoinorod. Tho government of tlcers did not know the existence of the $20 Humllton head notes until they wero put In exlbtenco In this city nbout ten days ago, and which rcaultcU In tho airest of Harry Taylor, a hi other of Arthur Taylor. Arthur Taylor and UtedelL admitted yesterday that they have made tho plates, but told Thief Wllklo and Oper ative Burns, of the secret sorv ce, that they had thrown them Into the Dela ware river before their airest In April, U0U. This the secret service men did not believe, and from clues acciden tally obtained lrom the mother of tho Taylor brothers, who, by the way, did not know of the existence of tho plates the detectives got valuable In format on from Harry to tho effect that tin foil Impressions of the plates, made for the purpose of making elec trotypes of the plates were burled In the Centennial grounds, Falrmount patk. Taylor, Wllkle and Burns went to the park yesterday and found the ImprcHsIcns where H&rry had burled them. With this cv denco Chief Wll kie and Burns confronted Arthur Tay lor and Btedell In Moyamonsing prison today, and after a six hours' confer ence tho men revealed the secret of the hiding place of tho plates. Tho spot Is on a highway In the suburbs, ten and one-half miles from the city, and there the coveted engraving was lound by W lklo and Burns this even ing. With the plates were found ad ditional impicsslons on tin foil. Tho plates were burled during September, 3 SOS. Expect Leniency. Chief Wilkle stated tonight that the men were using tho Information they had for the purpose of securing len iency from the court when they should be sentenced. Chief Wilkle say3 the lfiO notes struck off wero tnnde In Mny and June, 1898, and up to March, 1839, they were secreted In the rafters of tho shop In which Arthur Tnyior and XJrcdell carried on their work. Prior to their arrest In Anrll, 1S0J, Arthur Taylor and Brodell put the notes In a package and had a friend place them In a safe. This friend, whoso namo Chief Wllklo would not divulge, knew nothing of tho contents of the pack age. About a month ngo Harry Tay lor was drawn Into tho scheme on tho representation that he could do his brothel's case some good. He was to have received $5 for every counter feit J20 note ho "passed," This lv consented to do, but wanted to cir culate the notes either In Baltimore or New York, but his brother and Bro dell Instructed him to float them here. After Harry had consented, Arthur gave him an order on the friend for the package. Thcro wero 100 notes In the package, 48 or 19 were cliculutcd and 40 of them have been found by tho secret service ofllecrs. The notea Harry did not iloat were burned by him, he said, after he dlcovetcd that the counterfeits In circulation had been detected. Harry Taylor's airest yesterday makes eleven pet tons In eustodj for connection with the conspiracy. Two of the eleven aie Kllery P. Ingham, and Hatvey K. Xowltt, his assistant, former United States district attorney, who wero convicted of attempted bri bery In connection with thn case and aie now undergoing sentence In tho Kastern penitentiary, while tho otlieis are awaiting sentence.

B The DAY-DREAM Of many a woman carries hor into babv-land. In a dream sho feels the touch of baby lips the. pressure of baby fingers. Then she wakes to the regret and heart-ache of the childless woman. Yet that dream may bo made reality. In a great many instances women who do not bear children, or whoso children are born so fragile that they quickly fade away, can be made happy mothers by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This great medicine for mothers has performed wonders for a great many women. It acts upon the organs of maternity, giving mem great vigor ana eiasuciLy, so tnai xne oaoy comes into the world practically without pain to the mother. Taken during the period of gestation, " Favorite Prescription " puts the mother into a condition of physical comfort which naturally results in mental quiet and confidence. It cures nervousness and nausea. It encourages a healthy appetite, and induces refreshing slumber. The hour of maternity comes on without any dread or shrinking, and the abundant strength and vitality of the mother ensures the birth of a healthy, happy child. As a tonic for nursing mothers, " Favorite Prescription " cannot be excelled. It promotes the nutritive secretions, and so furnishes abundant nourishment for the thriving infant. It has a great advantage over many so-called " nourishing" fluids which are in effect only stimulants and imp.irt no real strength to the mother. " Favorite Prescription " contains no alcohol, and is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. It is a true temperance medicine. When. it is remembered that many a child has received the first impulse to alcoholism at the mother's breast, it should be a matter of especial maternal care to avoid all alcoholic beverages and so-called " tonics " which are only stimulants. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is essentially a woman's medicine It reg ulates the periods, stops unhealthy drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. The dealer who offers a substitute for " Favorite Prescription " does so far the sake of a little more profit. His profit is your loss in this case. Therefore, insist upon " Favorite Prescription," the medicine you can rely upon because it has cured so many other women. Women suffering from disease in aggravated form are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free of charge. All correspondence strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. li.

Hadin, of Leonardsville, Riley Co., Kansas, "can say it is just what you advertise it to be, and can cheerfully recommend it. I began taking it just two months before I wa confined ana was greatly bene fited by its use. The doctor who attended me said I did about as well as anyone he had seen (as I was sick only about three hours), and also that your ' Favorite Pre scription ' was one 'patent medicine which he did base faith in. "We now have a darling baby boy, strong and healthy, who weighed nine pounds when born (July 28th). During this month he has gained three and one-half pounds. Have never given him one dose of medicine. I shall cheerfullv recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to anyone tn need of it. I thank you for the beuefit 1 have received from your medicine." T" "COT ALONG SPLENDIDLY." "I wish to add my testimony to hundreds of others as to the value of Dr. Pierce's medicines." writes Mrs. Ida M. De Ford, of Latona, Hubbard Co., Mimi. "Have doctored with a great many physicians some spctialists; have twice been in hospital for treatment. My case has been regarded as a hopeless one, and they knew not what the trouble was. Heart was bad; stomach all out of order; tired out; severe pains in all parts of the body; sinking spells, and nearly every ailment a woman could have. I took many a bottle of different ' patent medicines ' without effect. I began taking Dr. Pierce'si Favorite Prescription, and ten months afterwards I gave birth to a ten-pouna boy. All physicians had stated as a fact that I never could bear a child. Both the baby and myself were strong, and I got along splendidly thanks to your medicine. I do my own work and feci very much encouraged. I wish all suffering women would thoroughly try your ' Favorite Prescription.'
