Ever since he affixed his signature to the
articles of agreement he has been out on
the road every morning running around
Central Park, New York. with the same
strenuous stride as if he were getting into
shape for battle with y. j. Jeffries for
the heavyweight championship of the world.
The fact that Jeffries has declared he will
give the winner a chance TO fight him is no
doubt responsible for the hard and severe
course of training which Sharkey is indulg-
ing in these days.
So faithfully has Sharkey stuck to his
work that he could enter the ring tonight
and make a great fight against his OPP
ponent. His routine of work is practically
the same as he used in all the other con-
tests in which he has participated.

CLOSE OF FIRST DECADE.
Rector of st. Matthews Chapel Retires
Temporarily From Active Work.

St Matthews Episcopal Chapel in South
east Washington, celebrated the first dec
ade in it's history last evening, having en-
tered on it's mission on the 10Th of January,
1894. The church was filled to its fullest
capacity The services consisted of even
ing prayer and a celebration OF the holy
communion, with a short farewell address
by the Rev Jno. NJ. E. Mckee. who had
been the pastor of the church throughout
the ten years of it's history.
Mr.. McKee's ministry of thirty-fiye years
has been continuously in the District of CO.
lumbia, beginning at st. Johns Church, La
fayette square, where he was ordained by
Bishop Nottingham, in 1868, and in which
parish he labored happily and acceptabiy,
as assistant rector, for ten years. He was
rector of Anacostta parish at two different
times during it's early history. a total of
thirteen years. He was also rector of ST.
James parish in the infancy of It's history
for one year and was United States hos
pital chaplain for three years. and, as
stated has been pastor of St Matthew
Chapel in Southeast Washington, for the
past ten years
AS Mr.. McKee's labors have been so ac-
tive and unceasing during his ministry 1t
occurred to him that when he reached the
close of the first decade of st. Matthew he
would take that as a fitting opportunity to
stop and rest for a while before taking up
rev work. hence he wrote to the rector ana
yeStry or washington parish III tHe cdi ~
part of last December, notifying them of
his purpose to close his iabors at St Mat
thew's, which is a branch of their parish.
at the end of it's first decade. The rector
and vestry regretted Mr.. Mckee's decision
to resign, as their mutual relations had been
so pleasant and they highly appreciated
what they termed his faithful and untiring
service" at ST. Matthew's. They appointed
a committee, consisting of the rector and
registrar of the parish. to draft suitable
resolution expressive of their reluctance at
the ''severing of bond which united them
SO pleasantly for the past ten years.
The parting of pastor and people at st.
Matthew'S last night was an affecting one.
and so touched the feelings of the minister
that he had great difficulty in preserving his
self-controI in conducting the services.
After the religious exercises had been con-
cluded. the members of the congregation,
through Mr.. J. H. Gibbons, superintendent
of the Sunday school. presented their pas
tor with a handsome gold ring and his
esteemed wife Mrs. Anna Hamilton Mckee,
with a gold watch, tokens OF their af-
fectionate appreciation.

"Mugsy" McGraw Arrested.

special from Hot Springs. Ark says
that John J. McGraw, the New York ball
manager, and c. T. Buckley of Buckley &
Bailey were arrested there yesterday by
Detective Sergeant Garner. They were
pitching silver dollars at basket.
Several days ago $500 was won in this
manner at the Arlington Hotel by Buckley
and McGraw. Yesterday they were out in
the open and strangers passing witnessed
the game.
The officer arrested them and they were
taken to the city Jail. where a cash bond
of 300 was put up later and they were re-
leased. The trial is set for today .e .
A federal charge of gambling on a gov
eminent reservation would have been
placed against them had one of the reser-
walton officers got there in time. and it
may be made yet, as the Arlington Hotel
is on government land. McGraw Is very
much disturbed at his arrest.
