GOSPEL SHIP LAUNCHED.
Peculiar Religious Tabernacle Dedi-
Gated Mt Chicago.


The gospel ship was launched in Chi
cago the other evening at eight o'clock
amid the shouts of the Rev. Morrill, twins
and the songs from 500 people. In all
their glory the twins hustled from the
forecastle to the pilot-house, greeting
the men with a kiss and the women
with a hearty slap on the back. They
sang and they shouted, and them
prayed, using many nautical terms.
The new ship, which was started last
January, is located at 1410 Carroll ave-
nue.. 1t is 100 feet long and "a feet
wide. The two masts, which bore a
red and white light, are "A feet high.
In the summer the twins will preach
from the deck, but in stormy weather
they will talk to their audiences in the
hull, which will accommodate 500 per-
sons.
Shortly before eight o'clock q boy
clambered up through the hatchway
onto the deck and rang bell for time.
This was to attract the hayward ships,
who were having hard time blowing
their way through the rough seas, so
the twins said. The hull of the ship
was decorated in flowers and flags.
Pictures were thrown on large canvas,
which had the effect of attracting the
crowd.

THE TRIP ACROSS NIAGARA.

mind, body and soul. If sway, sway

ing to ME, and stood with one foot on
the line and both hands on his shout

Blondin started across the unstable part
of the line. I had cleared my mind of
all the feelings save one 1 tried to think
that instead of being poised in midair
with nothing but MANILA rope be-
tween me and destruction that was
shut up with Blondin in a confined space
where the thought of fall was farcical.
Blondin swung to the right and then to
the left. Each time went with him as
though we were nodded into one piece
with immovable parts. / knew after
ward that the line beneath his feet was
swaying horribly and that to the people
on the shore it seemed that time and
again our bodies were parallel to the
rushing Niagara rapids below. Blon-
din's marvellous skill and the precision
with which he manipulated his pole
brought us each time to the upright,
THE unprotected center was passed
all but O. few feet. Blonain was now
running just as boy runs in order the
better to keep his balance when walking
q railroad track. We were nearing the
point where the Joining place of the
first guy line from the opposite shore
offered us resting and breathing place.
Blondin's foot was planted on the knot
which Joined the lines. My breath came
naturally again. At that instant the
rope was jerked. from beneath his feet.
How he caught it again and saved us 1
never knew. Before could realize much
of anything he was running again. Some
gambler interested pecuniarily in our
deaths had cut the guy rope, hoping to
hurl us to the river. He did not dare re-
peat the attempt, and when the second
point of connection was reached we
rested safely. Blondin stood there like
O man of marble, though the agony in
his mind had brought great beads of
sweat of his brow. We reached the
shore finally. and before we were well

CARRIED BY BLONDIN.
Henry Coloord's Perilous Trip
Across Niagara Falls.
Chicago Artist Describes His sensa-
lions While Crossing the Terrible
Cataract on the Rope
walkers Back.

Henry M. Colcord, the Chicago artist,
the man whom Blondin, whose death in
London was announced recently, car
ried across Niagara falls on his back
at his famous tightrope performance
in 1889, was asked to tell just what it
was that he felt when he found himself
in midair over a raging torrent, with
nothing between him and death but a
spiderlike rope and the steadiness of
mans nerves.
81 cannot describe it better" said Mr..
Colcord, than by saying that the first
sensation was an overwhelming one in
which it was hard to separate awe from
fear. Then there came what best may
be termed an absolute cessation of all
feeling. Before starting from the shore
Blondin gave me that injunction which
almost every mother has given to the
boy at her knee when giving him his
first lesson in life
"Look up, Harry he said.
"My arms were about his neck while
my legs were slung in hooks at his waist.
Out we went over that horrible gulf.
heard the roar of the water below and
the hum which ran through the crowd
of 100000 spectators. AS we cleared the
brink the hum ceased. There was not
one person, perhaps, in that vast throng
who did not feel a greater strain than
was ours. Unable to resist, 1 stole one
glance down at the black waters. 1t
seemed for an instant as if were poised
above the entire universe. There was
feeling of immensely such as 1 had
never felt before or since. Then 1
looked up. Blondin walked on steadily,
pausing for one brief moment at each
point where the guy ropes joined the
main cable. The line was trifle stead
Ter at those places and gave him chance
to assure himself of his balance. There
was a wide space in the middle of the
rope to which were attached no guy
lines. At the last resting place before

CRIES FROM A COFFIN.
DEMONSTRATING Experience of n Big
Four Baggagemaster.


Four BaEgagemaster.
Baggage Master Granville Woodbury.,
of the Big Four Observation-Disclosures,
had charge of three corpses the other
night. At Chesterfield, Ind, the fast
train stopped to pass another train and
a six-year-old boy climbed on the front
of the baggage car to steal a ride home
to Daleville. The train does not stop
there, and as it ran through the town
the lad began to cry. The boxes con-
timing the corpses were piled up near
the front door. Woodbury. was alone in
the car, and as he heard the voice of the
child from the outside he rushed to the
boxes to ascertain If one contained a
child. The nearer he drew the more
positive was he that one of the bodies
had come to life and was crying for
help. Fifty trunks were piled against
the other door, but the strong man de-
cided to get through it and to the other
train men to secure aid to open the
boxes. When the train arrived in Mum
Gle Woodbury. was completely unnerved,
but related the story he believed to be
true before the small boy climbed
down from the platform. The boy was
sent home on the next train.

mendatiOn that such legislation for
the relief of the sufferers as Congress

child are getting along nicely and en-
