he is once known, through him opening

circle of culture and loving hearts
and enthusiasm in dozen congenial

HISTORIC STEAMBOAT BELL.
Once Sounded the Death Knell OF
Many I'm a Flood ON the Missouri,
Now in a Church.

There hangs in the belfry of the little
Christian church in the town of Savan-
nah, in Andrew county, this state, a bell
which has an interesting history. In
1852, As years ago, there occurred al
Lexington the most disastrous accident
which ever befell n steamboat on the
Missouri river, one attended with the
greatest loss of human life, says the
Kansas City Journal.
The Saluda, side-wheel steamer
with a battery of two boilers, was on
her way up the river with cargo of
general merchandise, and her cabin and
lower deck crowded with passengers,
the most of whom were Mormons. The
river wasunusually high and the current
as it came around the point just above
the town was strong. To add to the
difficulties the river was full of float
ing ice which had broken loose from
gorge higher up.
Capt. Francis Z. Belt, commander of
the boat, had made repeated efforts to
stem the rapid current, but had as
often failed. At last, on the morning
| of April 9, after waiting several days
for the flood to subside, he again or
dered steam to be raised for final eff
fort. He went to the engine-room,
looked at the steam gauge and asked
the engineer how many more pounds
of steam she could stand. On being an
swered that she had already every
| pound that she could safely carry, he
/ gave the command: "Fill her up; put
on more steam," and remarked to the
| engineer with an oath that he would
round the point or blow her up. He
retired to the hurricane roof, rang the
bell and gave the final order to Cast
| loose the lines"
| The bow of the boat turned gently
| out into the stream as it was caught
| by the current. The engines made one
revolution. Then came The terrible ex-
plosion and all was chaos, darkness and
death. The number of those who lost
their lives by the explosion was never
known. About leo bodies were recov-
cred, and it was supposed that there
were as many more victims whose bod
| les were never found. Nearly all the
| officers of the boat were killed, among
them Capt. Belt; the clerk, Joseph
Blackburn; the two pilots. Charles La
Berge and Lewis Garrett, both of whom
were at the wheel, and the second en-
gineer, Josiah Cheney, who was on
watch at the time. Capt. Belt was at
his post on the hurricane deck, stand
ing with his hand resting on the bell,
when the crash came. He was, blown
high up in the air and his body when
found was broken, mangled mass of
flesh and bones
The bell which had just sounded the
death knell of so many unfortunate
ones, was blown high upon the bank,
where it was found uninjured. 1t was
bought, with what remained of the
wreck, by old Casper Gruber, who after
ward sold it to the Christian church at
Savannah, and for nearly half a cen
| fury it has hung in the belfry there.

DID NOT SUIT THE CLASS.
Why a Lawyers Address to a Cook
Ing School Was a De-
cided Failure.

The real cynic is always a man with
a history, and this is true of a COM
paratively young Pittsburgh lawyer
who views all sweet girl graduates with
unnatural distrust. This isn't the com
mencement season, but it required sew
eral months for this story to leak out,
says the Pittsburgh Times. The at
torney, who is a gifted speaker, was
invited to make an address to the grad
uating class of training school for
nurses in a town not more than good
days walk from Pittsburgh. For his
subject he selected general theme
embracing as much of medical juris-
prudence as he thought the profession
of the girls required them to know He
was on hand promptly. logged out in a
full dress suit and adorned by a rose
bud. He went to the hall as directed
by the hotel clerk and the master of
ceremonies beckoned him to ascend to
the platform. The former had met him
previously during the progress of trial
at the courthouse in that town.
In due season the lawyer was asked
if he would make few remarks. The
Pittsburgher thought that was a
rather odd way of putting it. after in
viting him weeks beforehand, but he
made one of his most fetching bows
and waded into his theme.
Young women" he said, "you have
chosen career in which pain and sui.
fering will predominant; not your suf-
fering, but the suffering of others. I'm
der your care it may be that many
may die, and it is all important for you
to know at the outset not only what
you should do in the name of humanity
but also what you must do in the name
of the law Your possibilities for doing
good are only equaled by your oppor-
tunities for doing harm. 1t is not
enough that physician may be able to
undo the injury you may have wrought
through carelessness or ignorance. for
the occasion may arise when human
life will pay the penalty of your negli-
gence."
By this time the master of ceremonies
was squirming about uneasily and the
class of girls in the front row of seats
looked anything but pleased. How long

out provoking breach of the peace is
hard to conjecture, for just at this juno
ture delegation waited upon the mas
ter of ceremonies. 1t came from a Ger.
tain training school in town where a
class of nurses was being graduated. A
speaker had been engaged. Lawyer
Blank by name. He had left the hotel
but had failed to arrive at his destina-
tion. The situation dawned upon the
master of ceremonies in an instant and
the lawyers address came to a halt al
the next period. 1t seemed like good
joke, but the attorney couldn't under
stand why he got such decided frost
at the wrong commencement until one
of his new guides explained to him that
he had been addressing the graduating
class of thriving cooking school.

A lady, who was unfamiliar with the
streets of New York, was much con-
fused by the iargon used by car con-
ductor. When she thought she must
have arrived near her destination, the
conductor poked his head into the car
and said: "Umpty bazazas!" what
street did you say?" demanded the
passenger. "Ufty-uppth!" said the
conductor. Much annoyed, the lady
frem the suburbs went out on the
platform and rebuked the conductor
for his careless use of the vocal or
