Ben Hogan. a Ring Hero, Now Con-
ducts Divine Services.

There arrived in this city early in the
past week man, the vicissitudes of whose
life outstrip the widest flights of fiction.
This man is Ben Hogan, once gambler,
prize fighter a desperate individual who
feared nothing and who delighted in the
most reckless plunges into dissipation. At
the age of II years he was brought to this
country, his parents being well-to-do and
respectable people. They settled in New
York city, where the father lost his accu-
mutations through being too confiding, and
shortly thereafter removed to Syracuse.
1t was here that an event occurred which
had great influence in developing the reck-
less Individual which young Ben finally be-
came A youthful companion entered the
house of minister and tore out the en-
cravings from number of valuable books,
and together with Hogan the two started a
little show, charging their boy companions
Youngsters were arrested, tried and COM
mitted. Ben was changed boy after serv-
ing term in the Rochester reform school.
HE RETURNED TO HIS HOME
after dismissal from the school, but was re-
fractory and finally ran away to Albany.
He worked here on a tow boat, at last reach
ing New York. From here he shipped as a
cabin-boy, continuing two years, at the
end of which he wrote his parents of his
whereabouts and sent them his savings.
S275. Abandoning seafaring he drifted
west, drew $500 in st. Louis lottery, lost
every cent of it on a Mississippi river boat
through sharpers, landed in New Orleans.
wandered to Charleston and shipped from
there Oh pirate vessel; returned to the
South, fought duel and shot his man, en-
listing in the Confederate service to escape
trial; acted as spy in both armies, and,
throughout all this, his adventures, as he
relates them, partake more OF the nature OF
romance than of fact
Hogan soon drifted into the
Pennsylvania oil region, at that time occu-
pied by the toughest and most desperate
characters. Here he became more notori-
Gus than any other man who entered the
section but withal carrying reputation of
being generous to fault At this period
HIS CAREER AS A PRIZE FIGHTER
began, although he had heretofore figured
in any number of rackets of every kind.
He defeated Halliday in seven rounds,
fought draw with Allen and also with
Davis, besides defeating several lesser
lights. In Petralia, Penn, he was elected
mayor, but was counted out by seven votes,
and there was scarcely any kind of enter
prise in which he was not at some time or
other engaged, and too often in the most

The Bethel Association.


The annual meeting of the st. Paul Bethel
association was held Tuesday afternoon at
The Office of Gen. R. w. Johnson:
A good representation of the members of
he society was present The meeting was
Dpened with prayer by Rev. p. Hitwood, OF
The st. Louis Bethel. After reading the
minutes, Chaplain Robert Smith read his
annual report and that OF the treasurer, as
follows:
In making this, my twelfth annual report
of our Bethel work, can merely say have
needed the apostolic injunction to mind the
same things and to walk by the same rule
that has characterized the mission from its
inception. viz, reaching out helping hand
to aid those among us unreached py Other
moral agencies, and to encourage and
strengthen men in reaching forward
toward higher and better life.
And in this effort it is gratifying
to know my labors have not been in vain, as
cheerfully testified. My weekly visitation
at the city hospital and Women's Christian
home, singing, talking and praying with
the inmates and supplying them with pa
pers, ETC., has been appreciated, and a
cordial welcome ever awaits me. And OF
fortnightly visits at the poorhouse this Is
also true.
Distribution of valuable reading matter
on the boats and in the lumber camps and
elsewhere, such as standard periodicals, re-
ligious papers and tracts, without stint
meets with high commentator from EN-
ployers and employed.
Our citizens respond generously to my
calls for magazines, papers, etc., and we
are indebted to the press also for valuable
aid in this direction.
Very heartily is the mission Endorsed and
sustained by our business men and the
churches, as the treasurer'S report shows.
and your chaplain's hands have been greatly
strengthened and heart cheered in his work
by very many kindly words timely and fifty
spoken, and know of no lack for the car
rying on of the work except it be the great
need of home and Bethel chapel OF our
own in which to gather the people whom
we desire specially to reach with the gospel.
The old chapel having decayed on our
hands am now conducting weekly services
in the basement of the German NJ. E.
church, for which we are paying So
monthly.
Railroad and steamboat men also deal
kindly as ever with your chaplain and SUI
perintendent ROBERT SMITH,
Chaplain and Agent.

he ran gambling room, variety hall and
saloon. Time and time again he was pos
sessed of thousands, and as often he was
penniless through riotous living. All this
time he was engaging in the most reckless
exploits of desperate region-leading
life which earned for him the title through
out the entire section of ''the wickedest
man in the world"

seven years ago, and the man who had en-

much so that he doesn't still consider him
