not a street or court in the whole of his
parish in which he had not preached
When he first commenced this work some
of his parishioners threatened what they
would do If he came to preach in their
streets But he persevered until he was
not only allowed to preach in peace. but
was invited to do so by some of the in
ha bitants of the worst streets.
Capt. Watson, who passed through the
peninsular war, thus related one of his

of officers Of different ranks and regi-

before the proceedings commenced some
observations. Alas thought I, here are
many not ashamed to speak openly for
their master. and shall I hold my peace
and refrain when the honor and cause Of
Him who has had mercy on me are
called in question: I looked for wisdom
and assistance from on high. and l was
enabled to speak for quarter Of an hour

personal testimony of what you have
seen or known Christ to do for some soul
It may be how Christ saved a drunkard
and reformed him, or only how He helped
some much-tried woman to keep her

something Christ has done for you.

POOR PROSPECT FOR
new BALL PARK

The outlook for a ball park for
the City league on the lines of the
Traction Co. is not brighter. The
officers of the City league want a
location that will draw as well as
Natatorium park, and the only
place that would meet this require
ment is Mantle. There isgno avail
able ground at Mantle that is not
included in the park owned by the
city. and it is extremely doubtful if
a permit could be secured for the
use of enough ground to make a
baseball park 1t is we'll known that
the Graves people would have To-
Gated recreation park at Mantle
had the ground been available, and
the fact that they had to go else
where with the ball grounds does
not argue favorably for the location
of the City league park on top of
the hill.
1t was stated last summer that
Mayor Daggett had agreed to the
use of portion of Mantle park for
a ball ground, but if he did so he
reconsidered. Residents near the
park object to ball ground in their
locality.

spectators Banker Walker was

Interest quickened when they
, learned that he was a trusted bank

of dollars within his reach. Slowly,

his friends could get down huge

banker that anyone with sufficient
capital could win fortune beyond
the dream of ayarice this way if he
had nerve.
1t was as long as two months ago
that Walker entered into the disas-

ASTOUNDING SWINDLE BY SYNDICATED
BAND OE VULTURES RUINED BANNER

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, March at now
develops that VIM. F. Walker fugi-
tive treasurer of the New Britain,
Conn, Savings bank. was the vic
tim Of the most colossal and ella
borate wire tapping" swindle ever
known.
The under world Of the metrop-
oils has not yet caught it's breath
from its surprise at the glittering
success which has attended this
masterpiece of rascality.
This veteran in the old school
of finance, this man of business ex-
perience, poured third of mil
lion dollars into the clutches of a
daring band of vultures in two
short days.
The beauty of it was, the ruined
banker could not "squeal." He
was tarred with the same stick.
He used the banks funds in the
venture and the venture itself was
illegal He was led to believe that
he was backing a scheme to swim
die others.
Many others have been bitten
in the same way, and had to pocket
their losses. Unitel the Walker
trick was turned the biggest haul
had been $4,000, from John F.
Felix, wealthy importer, who was
taken into the corridor of an Of
flee building In which there was a
school Of telegraphy, and intro
duced to a fictitious Western
Union official who was to give him
the "tip" which was to rob the
pool rooms with a sure thing bet
on a horse race.
The case of Felix. who ventured
to "squeal," has just been disposed
of by the court of appeals revers-
ing the conviction of Chris
Tracy and holding that man who
enters into an arrangement to swim
die and who is himself swindled by
his associates has no standing il,
court.
This case applied to the Walker
swindle gives the swindlers prac-
tically immunity. although THEN
names have been divulged to the
police through jealousy over divi-
sion of the $350,000 spoils.

fool like a first class fool. In q
dazed way he listened to the ex-
plantations, and electrified thu
chuckling rascals by admitting tina;
it was his mistake and that he
would try again. They let him.
This time his bet was $4,000
upon the fictitious information. In
five minutes it was announced that
| he had lost. He reeled out into
the street broken man and doom
ed to silence by his own guilt. In
another quarter of an hour the
bogus pool room was dismantled Of
its masquerading players. its
dummy telegraph instruments and
paraphernalia, and the gang had
hurriedly divided the golden har-
vest and scattered to the pleasure
haunts of the world.
Three things are open to a ruin
ed embezzler like Walker. Suicide,
confession and flight. Walker
chose flight.
