surely the END Of things had come.
That Sabbath was truly high
nee tied up at the levee for the occasion
and scarcely had the new bell rung out
its call than good Capt. Stiff, his crew
and passengers marched up to church.
The people came in crowds, SO that the
place was filled to excess and all rejoiced
in the goodly building and the new
church bell, which told them Of other
days; OF tender faces, loving hearts and
empty chairs In, the far-off home land
Notwithstanding this gracious recep-
ton, that first bell had soon to vacate its
place Of honor and goN about other bust
ness.
For in a couple Of months or so the
Nominee came into the levee again with
another and heavier bell on board for the
use of the First church, the generous gift
OF gentleman in Cincinnati, who sent it
free OF all charge, in the hope that it
would help IN some measure the religious
life of the new country.
1t was soon taken up to the church and
put in the place of the first one, which
was sold to the Methodist Episcopal peo-
pie for use in the brick church on Mar
ket street. And thereby hangs a tale In
me issue of years and the growth of
Methodist life that Market street church
became toe small; so one section of the
| body went forth and built the First Meth
odlst Episcopal church on the hill and
89nother, the old jackson Street church.
But they could not agree about the bell
Inc FIRST church claimed 1t as it's rights,
and the jackson street did the same so
there they were, and as the poor, dumb
oeiI could not be cut in two. equally d.
weed between the rival sutors, it was
! left to hang its head in lonely silence
and patient hope. Full soon the Jackson
street brethren cut the Gordian knot.
stealing a march on their kindred, a few
OF them slipped down to Market street one
quiet day and had the bell taken down
and safely carried to Jackson street to
De placed under lock and key. This was
marc on the First church, and. seemingly.
the Dell itself didn't like it, for no sooner
was 1t hung up and rung out a few
tones, than its heart broke-ft cracked"
| so had to be taken down.
PreVlous to January, 1855, under Mr.

pie were added to the church 4 good

Simons sang, did excellent service. and

TO BIZ DECIDED TODAY
SELECTION OF A SITE FOR CAR
NIyAL ATTRACTIONS TIC BE
MADE
MUST BE IN CENTER OF CITY

That Has Been Practically Agreed
Upon, Although the Exact Loca-
ton Is Yet to Be Announced
Smith Park Has Been Considered
for the Chief Amusements of the
Carnival.
This afternoon at 1 o'clock the com
mittee on central features and location
will meet at carnival headquarters. At
4 o'clock the directors will meet in regu-
lar session. %
A parade of 500 travelling men, dressed
in uniform that will be the hit Of the
day, with 1900 of their fellows from all
over the Northwest to root for them, is
dated for the second Saturday of the
carnival St. Paul lodge, U. G. T, has
gene into the business of organizing
club, and with only a couple of days
work done, there is a programme mapped
out that will make Feb. 10 a day to be
remembered. The details Of most elab
crate scheme have been gone into so far
that it is quite settled that the travellers
of the Twin Cities Will turn out whole
division of a parade.
The matter was first preached at
meeting of Lodge No. so Tuesday even
ing, when Messrs. H. W. Schadle, A. J.
Capser, B. TIirschman, Theodore Barker
and J. NJ. Dresser were appointed to draw
a plan OF organization and go ahead with
the details. All Of the local members
will belong to the club. The money Of
the member goes with his application,
and there will be funds for a reunion of
all the travellers in the Northwest. Let
tiers nave been sent to the affiliated
lodges at Grand Forks, Crookston Du
Aberdeen Sioux City and Sioux Falls.
These outside lodges embrace nearly 1900
members, and they are to be invited in
as the guests of the local lodge. A COM
mittee has been appointed to call on the
st. Paul and Minneapolis jobbers to order
their men in for the carnival time, an
order that will be forthcoming, as the
peopie they trade with will be in st. Paul
generally. The Minneapolis men will be
asked to cooperate, and Mr., Schadle has
no doubt but that they will respond
promptly A uniform has been adopted
that will be the hit of the carnival sea-
son, and the parade of the club will be
the forerunner Of banquet and such an
entertainment as the united travellers
would enjoy. 1t promises to be a hot
time for the boys from the road, and
the local committee will have all the de-
tails completed for announcement in a
couple of days.
The Elks also have their organization
under way. At the regular session of
No 50 Thursday evening the proposal was
made that a carnival club be formed.
Without any hesitation $500 was appro-
priated towards equipping the club, the
money to be paid If the membership was
completed and the uniforms had within
ten days The money is safe enough,
for the club was organized on the spot,
official colors of purple and gold adopt
ed and specifications for uniforms pre-
pared The bids were asked for at once,
and the contract for the suits Will be
made today. Fifty-twO members signed
The club membership at once.

good service, was finally presented to the
Historical society for safe keeping as a
memento.
At once steps were taken to secure a
new church In a different place. In the
meantime services were held in an I'M
plaStered building, a rather rough place,
which afterward formed the front part
of Mr.. Sanfords store. While worship
Ing in the "shanty" as it was often called,
one or two little things happened to
atmosphere. One, very human and quite
comforting, is thus entered on the fast
fading records of the church:
Aug. 20, 1850 the Lords supper was
celebrated in the afternoon and Sophia,
the child of j. w and Stella Selby, and
Minnesota, the daughter of e. d. and
Nancy Neill, wereh dedicated to God in
baptism"
This is IN the handwriting of Mr. Neil
and signed by Mr.. Selhy as session clerk.
The other was, that on. one of those
reStful Sabbaths common to this
climate, there entered and worshiped
with them in the "shanty'' Miss Fredrika
Bremen, the famous, Swedish storyteller,
then In the heyday of her fame and
glory.
The new church was on the northwest
corner of ST Peter and Third streets,
built of brick. Part of the lecture room
walls can still be seen on the st. Peter
side, in the rear of the corner store. 1t
was capaclous, substantial edillce. A
good deal for those few people to under
take, but they. had lot. Of pluck and
great faith in the future of st. Paul. Be
sides Mr.. Neil was a host IN himself.
By the beginning Of November the
building, though quite unfinished, could
be used on pinch for worship-so notice
was sent far and wide that on Sabbath
the 10th there would be service in the
place. But the interest about this was
deepened wonderfully when the good
steamer Nominee. so popular and famous
in those river days, and whose name is
yet dear to the hearts of all old settlers,
came to the upper levee at noon on Sat
day the 9th with a bell on board, free Of
all boat charges, for the use of the new
church. AT once ropes, horses and men
were had Blacksmiths were looked up
and by dint of brain and muscle the bell
was hauled to the building and safely
placed in the belfry by o'clock that
night Such was the excitement that, I'M

satisfaction of the mortgage, and If the
satisfaction was put on record the con-
gregation would have double cause for
rejoicing.
John Nattrass, one of the older mem

rejoicing. Mrs. White, of the Ladies
