THE POOR SINNERS BELL.
Affecting Account Of the Casting Of q
Fine Church He'll I'm BrcsIau, Prus-

sin.
The poor sinners bell is bell in
the city of Breslau, in the province
of Silesia, Prussia, and hangs in the
tower of one of the city churches.
1T was cast July IL, 1886, according
to the historic records, says the De-
troit Free Press. 1t said that great
bell founder of the place had under
taken to make the finest church bell
he had ever made. when the metal
was melted the founder withdrew
for few moments, leaving boy to
watch the furnace and enjoining him
not to meddle with the catch that
held the molten metal, but the boy
disobeyed the caution, and when he
saw the metal flowing into the mold
he called the founder. The latter
rushed in, and seeing as he thought
his work of weeks undone and his
masterpiece ruined, struck the boy
blow that caused his immediate
death. When the metal cooled and
the mold was opened the bell was
found to be not only perfect, but of
marvellous sweetness of tone. The
founder gave himself up to the au-
thorities, was tried and condemned
to death. On the day of his execu-
tion the bell was rung to call people
to attend church and offer prayer
for the unhappy mans soul, and
from that it obtained the name OF
'the poor sinners bell"

WITH ALL DUE HONORS.
Preparations are Being Made 10 He.
ceive Prince Henry Of Germany OF
His Arrival In New York.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Cable ad.
vices received at the German EN-.
bassy here Indicate that Prince
Henry, of Germany, will arrive of
New York about February is. 1t is
the opinion of the embassy that the
stay'of the royal visitor in the United
States Wilt not extend over n fort
night.
The voyage of the imperial yacht
HohenZollern will be so timed that
the vessel will arrive off New York
in season to join the steamer which
will bring Prince Henry, so that he
may board the yacht and then pro-
ceed on 10 be met by the reception
fleet of naval vessels and steamers
which will escort the Hohenzollern
into New York harbor.
1t is probable that when the Hohen-
zollern takes off Prince Henry from
the liner she will be escorted from
the lower bay down to Sandy Hook
by Admiral Dewey's old flagship. the
Olympia, or the San Francisco, which
has been the flagship of the Enro-
pean squadron. AS 1t has been sug-
gested that the captain of either of
the ships would not have sufficient
rank to meet the German admiral,
Secretary Long has taken under
consideration the propriety of APP
pointing Rear Admiral Robley ID
Evans special representative for
this occasion. He is known person
ally to Prince Henry, who was in
command at the great naval demon
stration at Kiel, where Admira
Evans represented the United States
navy.

HIS SECOND TERM.
Inauguration of Gov. Nash Was an
Affair of Considerable
Ceremony.

columbus, Jan. 14.-AU noon NOn-
day George X. Nash was inaugurated
for the second time governor of the
state of Ohio. The oath of office
was administered to him in the ro-
tunda of the Capitol by Chief Justice
Minshall. Music was furnished by the
Columbus Republican Glee club and
after taking the oath of Office Gov.
Nash delivered very brief inaugural
address as follows:
members of the General Assembly
and Fellow Citizens:
'By the will of the people of Ohio, 1
have, in your presence, for the second
time, taken the oath which the law
prescribes shall be administered to the
governor of Ohio By their ballots this
free people have said that 1 have not
been unfaithful to the first oath. l
sincerely pray that my gratitude for
their approval. strengthened by the
help of God, will keep me true to the
second.
~ am admonished by the fight of
years that in work for the state 1 must
soon give place to the younger men.
For the future l have but one am
bition-the most sacred OF my life. 1t
is to show my appreciation of the peo-
pie who have so highly honored me, by
being their faithful servant during the
must rest whatever of fame lives after
me.
''In this closing of my life work, /
beg the advice, the cooperation and
the assistance of the members of the
Seventy-fifth General Assembly of
Ohio. We have taken the same oath.
The people have favored us alike. To
them, alone, we all owe our fealty. To
promote their happiness and welfare
should be to us a most pleasant task.
In making this appeal l am sure that
do not ask in vain. l think l voice
your sentiments when l say you will
be my faithful co-workers.'
ut is well to recall that during the
term of our offices Ohio will enter upon
the second century of her life. In the
first century she will have grown from
n few thousand inhabitants, scattered
in hamlets throughout a vast wilder
ness, to mighty state, with more than
four million people. They are now
domiciled in great cities, in beautiful
| towns, and in regions of country un-
surpassed in agricultural and mineral
wealth. All are happy in the privi.
leges which the Twentieth century has
brought to the civilized world.
1.-The watchwords of our fathers
were freedom, education and moral.
ity.' Upon these foundation stones
they built our fair State. What they
30 splendidly wrought it is our mission
and that of those who come after us
to defend, to enlarge, and to make
better. In this work may we ever re
member the precepts of the fathers
and be equally true to our trusts.
I'm conclusion, / tender to the peo
pie of Ohio my thanks. L pledge anew
my loyalty to our States, and my Low,
