CLEARy'S REASON
LOST, ASSERTION
HaverstraW Boss Was Mad at
Time Of Murder, AIienist Be-
Ileves---Meets Daugh-
ter In Court.

New City, n. Y, Dec. 19.-The fate
of William v. Cleary, former town
clerk of Haverstraw, on trial here for
the murder on July % last of his son
fnlaW, Eugene Newman, was expected
to be in the hands of the jury this al
.ternoon.
The sensation of the trial came last
night when Mrs. Anna Cleary Newman,
widow of Eugene Newman and daugh-
ter OF the defendant told from the wit
ness stand a story corroboratings the
testimony of her mother and father
who had preceded her. Mrs. Newman
told OF her marriage to Eugene New
mar five days before the shooting. de-
claring hat she kept the fact a secret
from her father n mother and in
answer to questions affirmed the con-
tention OF the defense that Newman
was the father Of her unborn child.
which fact Cleary previously had
stated: caused him to lose his reason
when his soninlaw called to inform him
of the secret marriage.
Father Meets Dausher.
Her father had not seen her since
July %, the day before Newman was
shot. while waiting to tell Cleary that
he and Anna We're married. AS his
daughter neared him Cleary jumped to
his feet and reached out to embrace
her. The girl shrank from him. He
seized her and kissed her repeatedly.
As the girl walked tremblingly to the
stand Clearv collapsed. falling over the
counse table. He recovered quickly.
however, and fixed his eyes on his
daughter, who did not return his gaze.
When she had finished her testimony
and again passed by where her father
sat she made no response whatever as
he reached out and patted her hand.
Few questions We're asked the young
widow. The defense. whose witness she
was. contented itself with getting her
to say that Newman was the father of
her child n that she had not told her
father nor her mother of her marriage.
Through Mrs. Cleary it was brought
out hat up to the time of the shooting
Cleary did not know the boy was his
soninlaw.
Mrs. Cleary said her husband had
moved his family from Haverstraw to
New York to escape Newman's atten-
tons to their daughter, but they had
kept up their ~clandestine courtship. She
had been told of the marriage by a
physician who was attending her
daughter a few days previous to the
shooting.

Enthusiasm.

Nothing great was ever achieved
without enthusiasm. Enthusiasm, a
word that combines ambition, courage,
determination, and 100 other words, Is
to the human being steam is TO
the engine. When enthusiasm dies,
the man is dead, and hope has left him.
He may live on, but the real man is
gone. Enthusiasm is the power and the
health of the mind. It is youth, am
bition, will. Man lives and is worth
while as long as his enthusiasm lives,
and when that's one, he dies, although
he may not know it. The death of en-.
thusiasm is when hope departs n
life loses the only force that makes 1t
worth while. We travel a certain dis
lance upward along the road of life.
Enthusiasm is the force that drives US.
AT n end of h long road Is the
teeth. At the other end that
temple called success, and just beyond
lie down and are forgotten. Why we
start, why we climb and what power
DRIVES us toward the shining temple,
no one knows. All except n in 1,000,-
600 fail, grow tired and sit down to
rest like the man in the fable. Then
hope flies away and that is the death
OF enthusiasm.
Dante. one of the worlds greatest
writer's, showed to the world the
spirits Of men still living Upon earth.
Their bodies lived on the earth's sur
face, but the soul was down below. You
should read. If you have not already,
the wonderful pictures drawn by that
italian imagination without an equal.
We know there Is a death in the body
which is infinitely worse than the real
Heath which sets a man free and ends
his responsibilities.
The death of enthusiasm is the
greatest possible calamity. Fight
against it. Enthusiasm is hope, cor
fidence in yourself, courage, a de-
termination to succeed, or at least to
struggle on.
Enthusiasm includes courage In Its
meaning. What a you do to keep en-
thusiasm alive? Get up and walk on
You have every nance now that you
ever had. You may be older than some
who have succeeded and there are 9TH
ers much older than you vino have sue
ceeded. Don't let the work hat you
have already done GO to waste. Don't
moan over time wasted Let the past
be forgotten but profit by it. We can't
and don't all travel mountain roads by
beautiful lakes toward a high shining
hill. The trouble with the average mar
is not lack of ability or intelligence. 1t
is lack of the courage that comes from
enthusiasm. Courage is the man and a
man without courage is like a withered
flower. He's dead.
