Matthew McGrath, the champion ham,
mer-thrower of the world, waived eX-
animation n was held to await the
action of the grand jury when ar

ON chal ges of having shot down George
Walker, whom the athlete found in his
home. No bail for McGrath was fixed.
Walker was shot five times and there
is only a fair chance of his recovery.
The wounded man says:
when McGrati- was taking me,
wounded with the five bullets he had
put into my body, to the Parkvllle sta
ton he said to me: Don't tell the lieu
tenant you know nv wife. Tell him
that you're a burglar I told him that
I would tell the truth; that I knew his
wife, and after that he was rough with
me. He dragged me part of the way"
This statement, according to Mrs. Jo-
seph Sellers, a sister of Walker, of 577
East Second street, Brooklyn, was part
of the story told to her by the wounded
man.
This is the story that Mrs. Sellers
says her brother told her;
"I left Woods hotel, at the Boulevard
and Eighteenth avenue, just before the
place closed, as / didn't want you to
worry about my being out too late. On
the corner | met Mrs. McGrath, whom
l knew. 1t was after midnight then.
She asked me to go to her house n
see the Christmas tree that had been
fixed up for little Alvira. her daughter.
1 didn't want to get HON late and SO
refused her invitation. She continued
to press me, and finally | went with
her.
81 saw the Christmas tree and was
lust about to go, after having been
there only a short time, when McGrath
came in. He did not give me a chance
TO say a word. but got out his billy and
went for me. AS he was striking me
Mrs. McGrath, who had left the room,
came in and exclaimed to him:
"'For Gods sake, stop. i.
HE didn't answer her, but hit me
with the billy a blow so powerful that
] fell TO the floor. Then while l was
lying on the f1oor he got out his re-
volver and shot v bullets into me-"

REIMBURSEMENT
BY EDWIN A. NYB.

When King Edward VII. died the
people Of England we're plunged into a
stale OF great anxiety.
The political conditions were such
that business almost ceased for time.
values were depressed. aud the people
felt as if they we're on the verge Of
national disaster. ."--,..'t~N
We have had such Experiences
When Abraham Lincoln was assassi.
mated we passed through a great trial.
II needea the voice of great man like
Garseld. who said to the mob on the
Streets of New York. Fellow citizens.
God reigns and the government at
I Washington still lives"
There was another serious crisis
when Garfield was shot. And when
Mckinley got his death wound at Buff
falo dread anarchy showed It's horrid
front
But we passed through these tribula-
tons and emerged.
Like some great planet swinging In
its orbit. whose momentum is irresist-
ible, we kept the track marked out for
us.
Behind us was the cumulative force
of a great history-the gathered mo-
meutum OF people who had dreamed
and done great things and good things
SO 1t is of our personal lives.
Disaster comes TO us in a business
venture The blow paralyzes. We see
no way out. We are seized by despair
This. we say. is the end.
But the crisis passes. We readjusi
ourselves to the new emergencies. The
old wound slowly heals. BY and by
the defeat passes into memory and the
experience becomes a part of our phi
losophy.
1t is the reserve power within us
quickening to new endeavor.
A dear one dies We feel that never
again will the sun shiue so brightly as
of old Clouds and darkness are about
us. The terrible fact stares us. We
never shall see that face again. If. say
after a year or FIVE years we nigh
hope TO see it. But-nevermore!
The days pass. and time deals gently
with us And after awhile we car
think calmly of our dead. And th'
memory of them is even sweet to vi
because we know that
Life is ever lord OF death,
And love can never lose its own.
Nations as we'll as individuals conn
to feel that there is behind them 1
! mysterious power that pushes then
forth to their destiny despite all acct
, dent.
And we need to learn that the pure
, and truer the life forces are behind tn,
/, day of trial the stronger is the natiol
