The Experience of Rev. Arthur

Beset by Turkish Bandits Near the
Tomb of the Martyr Polycarp, They
Had Narrow Escape From Cap

Case to That of Miss Stone,
Almost within the grasp of a band
Of Turkish brigands!
Such was the experience of the Rev
Arthur J. Smith, pastor Of the Howard

Alone with him in the loneliest part
Of Turkey was Rev. Father David
O'Hearn Of Milwaukee, pastor of st.
Johns cathedral Of that city.
Now safe again on American soil,
Rev. Mr.. Smith, as he reads of the fate
of Miss Ellen Stone, the American mis-
.sionary, is sensible Of the dangers lie

while ascending Mount Pargos, he said:
In the city of Smyrna we selected
our guide from among a horde Of the
rabble who accosted us. Leave your
gold and valuables here was his first
warning. Father O'Hearn needed the
proposal. What do we care for rob-

trudged up the path filed with cacti

down with broiling intensity. We

at length found ourselves at the sum

us to go no farther.
Thinking he wished to earn his
money easily and having no idea that
there was danger, we kept on over the
sun baked path. Suddenly we reached
the natural amphitheater where the
martyr Polycarp gave up his life after
foufsecFe years OF Christian living. In

The Murderer and Captain Byrnes

McGloin was young rufian who
had murdered a saloon keeper at a
midnight raid on his place. He
was the fellow who the night before
he was hanged invited the chief of
detectives to "come over to the
wake. They'll have a devil of a
time" For six months Byrnes had
tried everything to bring the crime
home to him, but in vain, At last
he sent out and had McGloin and
his two "pals" arrested, but so that
none Of them knew of the plight Of
the others. McGloin was taken to
Mulberry street, and orders were
given to bring the others in at
certain hour fifteen or twenty min
utes apart.
Byrnes put McGloin at the win
dow in his office while he questioned
him. Nothing could be got out Of
him. AS he sat there a door was
banged below Looking out, he saw
one of his friends led across the
yard in charge Of policemen. Byrnes,
watching him narrowly, saw his
cheek blanch, but still his nerve
held. Fifteen minutes passed; an
other door banged. The murderer,
looking out, saw his other pal led in
a prisoner. He looked at Byrnes.

Martyred Presidents.

The shooting of Lincoln and
Garfield, as [ remember the fatal
days, comes back to me now. The
day Lincoln was killed [ was set
ting out chestnut trees in a quiet
Shaker village in Ohio. A man
came by on horseback, on the
dead run, crying, "The president
is assassinated." The Shakers
quit work and went into the house
and knelt in prayer, and I won-
dered at it, for [ did not know
what the president was to the peo-
pie.
The next was Garfield, about
eighteen years after Lincoln's
death. I was then chasing Chi
nese pirates in the Straits of Macaos
on the coast of China. The dis
patch boat hove in sight and sig
nailed: "The president is assassin
ated. Proceed at once to Hong
kong, put the ship in mourning
and fire minute guns until further
orders" So you landlubbers in
this queer village can see that
even the ships mourn for the
martyred presidents.
I helped to put the ship in
mourning and to burn powder each
minute, and still I didn't grasp
the significance of the occasion.
or, in straight English, I didn't
realize what the president was to-
the people. For we, as men-of-
wars-men, looked to the Secretary
of the Navy for all benefits re-,
ceived, and he righted our wrongs.
But since I became a resident of
this village by the still waters of
Minnesota [ have studied human
nature in a way, and 1 find that
the president is the peoples choice
and that he stands at the head of
the grandest country on EARTH,
barring none. And [ find that

authority as a captain of a ship.

SOME HAPPENINGS
OF THE WEEK.

THE ATTEMPT ON. THE PREsI-
DENTS LIFE.
President Mckinley was shot
and very seriously-it was thought
at first, FATAL injured by an an
archist named Leon Czolgosz last
Friday afternoon. At the time of
the attempted assassination the
president was standing on a low
platform in the Temple of Music
at the Pan-American Exposition
at Buffalo, holding a public re-
ception. He was surrounded by
an immense throng. Czolgosz
approached the dias and the chief
executive turned to greet him,
whereupon the would-be assassin
raised his right hand, which was
lightly covered by a handkerchief
in order to hide a 80 calibre re-
volver, and shot him twice. The
first bullet struck the breastbone
on the right side and was DETECTED
from it's course, in1icting pain
full, but not dangerous, flesh
wound. The second nearly &C.
complished the cowardly design;
it entered the abdomen on the
left side, about parallel with the
navel, inficting a very serious
wound.
When the shots were fred still
ness reigned for moment or two,
and then the crowd fell upon
ICzolgosz as one man and beat him
to the floor. The president fell
into the arms of friends. His first
request was that care should be
used in breaking the news to his
wife. An ambulance was called
and he was taken to the emergency
hospital on the exposition grounds,
where superficial examination of
his wounds was made. A few
minutes later he was carried to the
home of John G.. Milburn, presi-
dent of the exposition, whose guest
he was to have been during his
visit in Buffalo. Physicians of
national repute were summoned
and it was decided to probe for the
bullet.
Meanwhile the police, with great
difficulty, succeeded in landing
Czolgosz in the Thirteenth street
station. To do so it was neces-
sary to call for re-inforcements
and beat back the crowd, which
was bent on lynching the man.
Later he was brought to the CEN
trail station where he made a
lengthy confession. He said he is
an anarchist; that he is pupil
Of Emma Goldman; that he is a
member of various anarchistic So
cieties throughout the middle
west He said he is of Polish
German extraction, and gave Cleve-
land as his place of residence. The
attempted murder of the president,
he explained, was carefully pre-
meditated. He told of following
the president for several days in
order to find favorable opportun-
ity to kill him. He appeared to
have no computations about dis
cussing his crime and expressed
not the slightest repentance for
his cowardly act. He vigorously
denied that the shooting. was the
result of a conspiracy.
The police and the secret SER
vice men are of the opinion that
there was a carefully prepared
plan to kill the president and that
Czolgosz was but the tool of others.
A number of arrests have been

'COLUMBIA' WILL AGAIN DEFEND
THE CUP.
columbia" has been chosen as
the cup defender. This was de-
cided at meeting of the commit
tee on challenge of the New York
Yacht club held last Thursday.
Before the committee reached a
decision the performances of the
two candidates for the position of
defender, "Constitution," the new
boat, and Columbia" were gone
over carefully and it was unani-
mously decided that the old boat
would have the better chance of
defeating shamrock H." The old
cup defender is in perfect shape
for the races, and experts believe
she will make things very interest
ing for Sir Thomas Upton before
the races are over. Many inter-
ested persons do not hesitate to
express regret that Lawson's EN-
dependence" was not given an
opportunity to show her speed in
last weeks trial races. The
English press is jubilant over the
defeat of 'tConstitution."
