DIES WITHOUT THE
ATTENDANCE OF A DOCTOR

Miss Susan A. Wheelock, firm be-
LEVER in the principles of Christian
Science, died suddenly at the home of
her brother, Dexter N. Pratt, 30 Park
Avenue, yesterday afternoon. Miss
Wheelock has been a sufferer from a
severe attack of bronchitis for several
years in addition to being a cripple
from infancy caused by a spinal di-
sease.
She adhered strongly to the belief
that Christian Science would eventu-
ally cure her and absolutely refused
to see a doctor. For several days she
has been very low but her death yes
terday came Unexpectedly. The body
was taken in charge by Sessions &
Sons, undertakes, and Medical Exam
liner Frederick II. Baker was called.
The autopsy showed that the attack of
bronchitis in itself probably would
have caused deaTl. 1t is likely no
criminal action will be taken against
anyone.
Miss Wheelock was born in Barre
and has lived in Worcester for a num-
Der of years.

Team Has Lead of One Point
at End of First Half

Father Mathew basketball team
trounced Webster in Father Mathew
Hall last night and thereby gained
deeper appreciation of the fans who
have been faithful to Manager Thomp-
sons team from the beginning of the
present season. AT the end Of the first
half, Father Mathew had a lead of s
to 7, and by vigorous team play in the
second half, the locals more than dou-
bled their point total, the final score
being II to II.
There was one thrilling incident of
the second half in which the crowd got
deeply interested. Conlon, the Web
ster leader, known as one of the Drawn
lest of indoor athletes, furnished the
greatest excitement by rendering a
thump to spectator and melting the
crowd to bedlam that was little short
of riot.
Shorty Rourke, the Father Mathew
back, who always amuses spectators
by his nifty handling of himself, had
numerous clashes with Conlon. About
two minutes before the end of the sec
ond half, Conlon received a long pass
at point near the north end of the
stage. Rourke came tearing down upon
the burly Websterite and Conlon was
bumped against the stage. The crowd
got gleeful and applauded Rourke as
only home team can show its joy
when the smaller man apparently gets
the better of the argument. 1t appeared
to majority of the spectators that
there was little to choose between the
men in question of clean play. After
Rourke had made his plunge against
Conlon, the Webster men came back
with a poke that staggered Shorty A
man on the lower tier of bleachers at
the north side of the hall, reached out
his foot and kicked Conlon. Another
vaulted to the floor and made a pass
for Conlon's head. The big Webster
captain squared off and sent a sting
ing right hand swing to the face The
crowd closed in and there was real ex-
cltement within the next three min
utes, the heat of the argument passed
away and the game was finished.
Five hundred people saw the Father
Mathews down the champions and
considerable cash was wagered, the
Webster delegation backing the pen
nant winners in the firmest fashion

ANOTHER NOVELTY
IN MACHINE LINE
0. S. Walker & Co. PerfeCts a
Machine Chuck That Differs
From Anything on the Market
and is Sure of a Big Reception

O. S. walker e. Company of 1856 Union
Street, whose novel tool sharpening
machine was described in The Spy
some time ago, have completed an
other decided novelty in the machine
line that will surely attract attention
from the builders Of machinery. While
the tool sharpening machine was
hailed as a piece of apparatus that
filled a long-feIt want, the new machine
is of even more importance ana II mas
required two years of Mr.. Walkers
time and experimenting to bring IT to
perfection.
The new tool is called magnetic
chuck and IL is a decided novelty.
The rapid advance in mechanic arts
and inventions during the latter part
of the century just closed has rendered
the production of novelties increasing
ly difficult and it is therefore surpris-
ing to find at the Union Street shop a
successful and growing industry made
up almost exclusively or machinery Of
novel design and improvements never
before offered on the market
The magnetic chuck, the latest IN
vention, is a piece of machinery that
seems as near perfect as II IS possible
to get it, 1t is made in various styles
and sizes and Is designed to hold iron
or steel machine parts while being ma
chined or ground.
This device, which is fully covered
with patents, both here and abroad,
consists of a peculiarly constructed
iron casing in which is enclosed an in
sulated electric coil with exterior bind
ing posts for connection to the ordin-
is attached to the side of the chuck
with which to turn on and off the
power
The chuck itself is out of the circuit
so that there is no danger Of shocks in
handling, and the work is simply held
by the magnetism generated in the face
of the chuck. The reporter was shown
chucks three feet long and over in use
on the iron planer and chucks nine in
ches long in use on a grinder also
various sizes of cylindrical chucks for
rotary work The reporter was aisO
shown a mysterious piece of apparatus
called a "demagnetiZer" and saw a
magnetized piece of steel, sporting a
full beard of iron chips instantly I'M
dergo a clean shave by giving it TWO
or three passes over the apparatus.
The popularity of magnetic chucks is
evinced by the fact that many firms
are using from three to a dozen chucks
each and one firm has purchased %
chucks for their own use. Many
ohucks also are used i'm the government
workshops.
The tool sharpening machine, pre-
viously described in these columns, Mr..
Walker says, has met with a ready
sale among progressive firms and many
of them have been shipped abroad.
The newest product Of this concern
is an improved automatic universal
surface grinding machine for grinding
to size or finish all kinds Of fiat. taper
ing, bevelled or curved surfaces. This
includes work revolving on centrez or

machines may be said to be incorpOrat-
ed in one. A novel and patented grind
ing head is employed, whereby tho
spindle may be turned end for end and

ment Also it may be elevated TO any
desired height and by its peculiar con-
struction, the belt tension never alters,

~. and when the work Is done the whole
machine is automatically brought to a
state Of rest. Either disc or cup
shaped emery wheels may be employed
for fiat surface grinding, and the ma
chine Is furnished with or without
water attachments.
Either one of two positive speeds are
given to the emery wheels. The speed
of the plates can be varied from 5 TO
Is feet per minute by fine graduations.
The speed OF the work can be divided
or multiplied by four with fine gradu-
ations. and all changes may be made
while the machine is in motion. All

Realizing the growing demand for

SORROW OVER THE ATTEMPT ON THE

SORROW OVER THE ATTEMPT ON THE
 PRESIDENTS LIFE.
 A gloom, even in the village, was manifest, last Friday afternoon, as the news came on the wire of the awful deed perpetrated at the Temple of Music, at the Pan American exposi- tOn, Buffalo. We heartily join the sentiment which seems to pervade the entire world, concerning the event, sorrow, indignation and extreme anx- iety for the result. Rev N. s. Becker, in his church service here, last Sun- day morning, made President Mckin- ley special subject fer prayer. And as the text of his sermon was ''Prayer,' he alluded most touchingly to the Oc- currence of the past week, but thought that with our earnest petitions to the Throne of Grace for the President $ recovery, should be coupled Christian resignation to Divine Will. ''Thy Will be done" hard though it be to- day. It is as hard to look with any mercy upon the miserable assassin, anC feel that he even belongs to the hu man race, as it is to feel that possibly we must give up one who has done SC much good as has President McKin | lev.

When the dread dis ease of heart weakness developed near ly year ago it resulted in that worst of diseases to prey upon the human frame, consumption. He received the attendance of the best physicians pos sible, and everything that parents and money could do was put forth for his comfort and relief, but could not save the life which seemed doomed to close thus early. The recollections of hls short life will be most kindly remem- bered by his many acquaintances in this locality who knew him more or less intimately and heartfelt sympathy is extended, most especially to his bereaved parents, in this hour of sad dest bereavement. His remains were conveyed on Thursday of last week to Brooklyn and the funeral held at his late home on Saturday evening. Un- dertaker Hubert Thomas had the un- eral arrangements in charge.
