THE FLOATING BETHEL.
The Recently Destroyed Living Boat at St
Paul-The Local Project.

Paul-The Locat Project.
The Floating Bethel OF St. Paul
which recently burned, being one of
the stations of the Western Seamen's
Friend society, and being also the
model from which the directors in
this locality would design the float
ing Bethel at this port, the editorial
reference to the matter in the Pio-
neer Press may be of interest here:
4 Great Misfortune.
The burning of the Bethel boat is
a misfortune that has other conse-
.quences than the terrible tragedy
which accompanied it. In this, as is
natural, the public attention has been
absorbed by the loss of life which
has overshadowed and dwarfed all
lesser issues. And this is right. But
now that the inevitable has been ac-
copied and sad hearts mourn their
dead, world that must needs care
for the living turns to the practical
side OF the situation once more.
What is to he done with and for the
great charity which has done so much
for the poor and struggling in st.
Paul? Is this splendid work that has
been built up at SO great a sacrifice
by the untiring devotion of unselfish
men and women, to suffer loss by the
calamity that has fallen upon it? Is
this to mark its decadence. or shall
it progress to new usefulness and a
higher success?
1t has been sadly crippled. 1t was
only after many years of earnest eff
fort and public appeal that the NAM
ayers of the Bethel succeeded In OBJ
tanning the equipment that they de-
sired for the furtherance of their
plans. Since their boat was finished
and they had suitable quarters for
! their undertaking, they have been
busted night and day in ways that
tell for the advancement of the COM
munity. A large part of it is igno-
rant of the practical results of their
labors, but those who have watched
with a sympathetic interest have
been amazed at the great and grow
ing field filled by this useful philan-
thropic effort. 1t must not be al
lowed to suffer check or loss by this
great reverse. We say, in all sim
cerity, that it will be as great a loss
to St. Paul to have the business of
the Bethel interfered with as to lose
one of its promising business es-
Establishments. The misfortune oc-
ours at most unfortunate
time just when each jndi-
yidual feels his resources
most severely pressed upon by the
eXigencies of commercial depression.
the Bethel work needs help. But il
should have it. The appliance:
which it has lost should be restored
Whether it is decided TO adopt the
old plan or to follow q new one
whether there is to be a new Bethe
boat or the association seeks quar-.
tiers elsewhere, the means should be
given it to continue in the noble OF
flee that is so peculiarly its own. W.
cannot spare what it has done for the
poor people in st. Paul. We cannot
miss its helpful and uplifting intlu
ence. Out of the terrible calamity
that has fallen upon the human lives
as well as upon the splendid mission
ofits promoters, there must open. by
the aid of willing hearts, new field
of usefulness for the Bethel assOcia
ton.

rather good looking young lady.
Her folks ut first objected strenuouslv
to their daughter receiving atten-
tions from this son OF the forest and
tried in different ways to break up
the affair but both young people
seemed thoroughly infatuated with
each other, and no inducements in
anyway could separate them. Not
only were persuasive methods
brought to bear on the young lady,
but suddenly she began receiving
marked attentions from another
young man in the ighborhood. who
seemed desirious of beating Eagle

doing. These things. it is said.

measure to try to discourage the al
fair, but which utterly failed in every
particular.
Wants to be Il Citizen.
Eagle Eye, who by the way, has
adopted the name of leila as a first
rame, is DESTROYS of becoming a citl-
zen. He : still subject to all the
| regulations that the government has
put the Indians under and will con-
tinue to be so for % years to come
| and At the end of that time if he has
| conducted himself in a way worthy OF
admitting him to citizenship. he will
| be so admitted. He is now away
from the reservation by permission
| of the Indian agent and should he
not conduct himself in an orderly
way or should he trcsspass the laws
of the land he would Immediately be
! taken back upon the reservation and
there punished. Although he is ed
ucated the government makes no dis
tinction between him and another OF
his tribe who has no idea whatever OF
the affairs of men. lie is subject to
the same eXacting regulations and is
not allowed to dispose of his land or
enjoy any privileges that are not en-
! loved by he others of his race. He
| is allowed to come here and estab-
fish himself in business, and as long
as he shows his good intentions OF
becoming citizen he can remain,
| but the revenue from his land goes
to his people as long as he stays
away from the reservation. Eagle
Eye has FULLY made up his mind to
become a citizen, and though it will
be a long while to wait, he says. it's
| surely worth the while, which shows
that he has an exalted idea of Amer
lean institutions.

RAILROAD FIREMEN.
They Save Valuable Property Outside
the City.
Flames Raging About the Powder
Houses Were Speedily Ex-
tinguished by Them.

Captain J. G. Buchanau's railroad fire
crew did some very good work on Sat
urday, and demonstrated their ability as
hustling tire-fghters.
Word was received at the railroad of
flee that grass fire was raging in the
field lying between the main track at
Homestead Station, just east OF the city,
and the switch that branches off at that
point and runs by the powder magazines
of Baker IL Hamilton and Schaw, Ingram
81 hatcher.
1t took Captain Buchanan and the crew
of hose cart No. l only few minutes to
get the fire train out of the repair shop,
where it is kept housed, and the way it
flew over the rails between this city
and the scene of the fire was a caution TO
the natives living along the line.
Although but a few minutes had elapsed
between the receipt of the news that the
fire was in progress and the time the
railroad crew reached the scene, the fire
had spread over several acres of ground,
and was then threatening several resi-
dences on the line of the continuation of
the Stockton road, besides being in dan
gerous proximity to the powder maga
zines. Indeed a fence alongside the lat
The long line of hose was run out in a
hurry, and while portion of the crew
turned their attention TO saving the houses
referred to, others pulled down the burn
ing fence and dragged the blazing boards
away from the powder magazines.
Then gang of foragers were sent out
and iii the neighborhood they found a
quantity of empty sacks. These were dis
tributed among the men, who soaked
them in water and battled with the grass
fire at various points so successfully that
after two hours of hard fighting it was
extnguished.
The day was hot, and the fro made it
still hotter for the members of the crew,
out they worked like Trojans and "staid
with" the enemy until it was conquered.
The railroad company's fire crew has
distinguished itself on many occasions in
this city and at other towns along the
company's lines, and the record of it's
achievements would show that many
serious contiagrations have been check ed
by 1t when the regular fire department
was unable to cope with the flames. This
was notably the case at the Buffalo Brew
cry fire a couple of years ago, and also
when CowelPs wine-house and other
buildings were burned last February
Captain Buchanan's men are we'll dis
clplined, courageous young fellows.
They are employed in various depart
ments about the shops, but the instant
fire alarm sounds they drop everything
and break for the fire-train.
