THE SHIPS BELL.
1t is Closely Identified with the Whole
Career of the Vessel.

career OF the NesseI.
Lieut. John NJ. Ellicott L. s. n,
writes an article for June st. Nicholas on
What is Told by the Bell in which he
says:
Nothing in a ship becomes so closely
identified with her throughout her whole
career as the ships bell. Officers and
crew come and go: masts. decks, engines
and boilers become old, and are replaced
by new ones: but from the day that she
first glides into the water the same Shio'S
bell remains always Il part of her, mark
ing her progress all over the world. and
finally going down with her IL Il lonely
grave at the bottom of the sea. or survly-
ing her as cherished souvenir of her
existence and achievements. On man
of-war the bell Is usually inscribed with
her name and the date of her launching:
and as it is probable that 1t may some
day become memento Of glorious his
tory, the bell is often the subject of spe-
Clal care III casting or selection. Some
times the hundreds of WOrkmcn who have
built ,he great ship contribute each II sill
yer coin to be melted and nodded INTO

for the object of their creation and their
interest III her future career. OFTEN the
people of the city or state after which
Il man-of-war j. named may present to
her ma gnitcent bell appropriately 0rna-
mented and inscribed with words of good
will and good wishes. Such Il bell is
usually presented with ceremony after
the ship goes into commission.
Ships bells in general are made Of
bronze. like other bells. The addition of
silver in their composition gives them Il
peculiarly clear and musical tone. They
are placed III such Il position on the up
per deck that they may be heard from
one end of the ship to the other: and are
usually near the mainmast or al the
break OF the forecaStle on regularity

on account Of her motion at sea. The

ship rolled and pitched. The direction in
which the tongue can swing is another
important point. If il were. athwartShips

of the ship; and if il were fore and aft
the bell would ring al every deep pitch:

There was a long pause, and another
of those quiyering signs which had first
reused Armathwaite from his sleep. Then
a sound like a faint, heart-broken laugh
came to the young doctors ears.

There was the sound Of brief. per-

corridor past Armathwaite's room. Again
the young doctor heard the long drawn
signs of the lonely woman. But he could
bear il no longer. Understanding by this

How Reed Runs the House.

During the recent extra session of
Congress Mississippi Congressman got
unanimous consent to introduce reso-
luton relating to some local matter.
The resolution had been mislaid, and
Congressman Vincent rose and offered
a resolution calling on the Speaker to
appoint the Pension committee in order
that the work Of passing on the 1000
pension bills which had been introduced
might be considered. Reed did not rec
Ognize Mr.. Vincent, but listened to what
he said. His resolution was sent up and,
instead Of going to the Clerk, Reed took
1t himself and read 1t. He then called
GrOsVenor over and they discussed the
matter moment, when the MissIssip-
plans resolution was found and the
Speaker directed that it be taken up.
When this matter was passed over Gros-
venor moved to adjourn and his motion
prevailed. Reed cared nothing for PEN
sions, the soldier or anything else but
the immediate passage of the iniquitous
Dingley bill. ALI this goes to show that
one member Of Congress (the -Speaker)
has more power than all OF the others.

enemies with blOOdin his eye. He is
reported to be ascertaining the value Of
Kansas property on which the old-line

property. In one case It is said that he
finds that $4,000 has been loaned on
property worth only $5,OOO In view OF
some OF his revelations he is of the

be required to make readjustment of

It has been frequently stated in Re-
publican papers that Secretary r. w.
Turner, of the Railroad Commission, had
been employed to prepare a campaign
handbook for use this fall. This is
mistake. A campaign handbook will
likely be issued soon, but it will be the
work Of great many persons who have
been selected because of their intimate
knowledge Of the subjects treated. Mr..
Turner had paper prepared on the sub
ject of wheat and silver prices, which

ably issue in concise form. 1t is said to
be we'll written and to treat the question

Our Regent Who is Gone.

When the Board Of Regents assembled
for its recent meeting, we watched with
interest their familiar forms and faces
as they fled into the Presidents office.
Their quiet dignity and thoughtful
brOws gave us confidence In them as
men, and we felt that the great resp0R-
sibility which has been thrust upon
them is not misplaced. We saw them
in that Office, all lntently engaged In
business; we met them in the hall after
adjournment, and yet we felt that some
thing was lacklng-that this was not the
old board we knew last spring; there
was an empty chair among them, va
cancy where before had lowered the
manly form Of Harrison Kelley.
Other Regents have died before. but
we little missed them-we hardly knew
them, for their dealings were almost
entirely with the faculty But In Har-
risOn Kelleywe found students Regent:
he consulted their needs, their feelings
and their desires. Often he could be
seen about the grounds conversing with
the students about their work and in-
terestlng himself in their welfare. Many
a student who has met him in the hall
has reason to remember his hearty
handshake and his jovlal greeting, that
carried with 1t wealth Of good cheer.
We are not able to write eulogy FOR this
man--we will not attempt 1t, but we
will remember him for his manly vir-
tues and for the interest and afEec-
tiOn with which he regarded the stu
dents Of this college.-Students' Herald

alleging that they were tampering with

and that the sellers were being swindled

was the leader in the House last winter
in the fight for maximum freight law.
He was active in his work for every
measure which the people were demand

people want was good is shown by the
following from the resolutions adopted
by Pratt Populists: while commencing
the good work already done, we still
urgently demand the enactment Of
maximum freight rate law similar to
the House bill upon that subject, and
we denounce the Republican party and
Legislators of this State for their united
opposition to this beneflcent measure of

Better and More Practical School Books

We owe an apology to the compilers
of the new text books that are being in
trOduced in the common schools. We
have criticised them in season and out
of season without having subjected them
to anything like critical examination.
We have examined most of those used
in the sixth grade in our city schools
and find them to be vastly better and
more practical than we had expected to
find them. They are inferior to the old
series in printing and binding, but in
matter and arrangement they are more
practical than the old series.-Osawat-
Omie Graphic.
