NEW TRUST COMPANY
Cause of Liquidation of Building
and Loan Company.

The proposed new trust company
which was mentioned in Sundays is
sue of the Graphic is and has been un-
der course of organization for the past
six months, in very quiet way and it
will be in operation before the first of
the coming March. 1t will have paid
up capital stock of 100000 and is
heing promoted by some of the best
men in the city. The cause of the
seeming delay in the completion of the
Loan and Trust company is because
some of the stockholders have had
large amounts of money tied up in
other business and time was neces-
sary in order to get matters adjusted.
Such financial movements as those of
the past few months are the tall;
marks OF the prosperity of the city
and County, and especially when it is
considered that nearly the entire cap
ital stock in these new financial in
stitutions is owned by Jefferson coun
ty people.

consider that to be the finest bell that
We have in our foundry"
AT first Dacosta demurred and could
not see MS way clear to selling the
bell. since 1t belonged to the set of
chimes designed for the Church OF the
Good Jesus of the Mountain and was
appropriately inscribed and all, but
Captain Clasby would have no other.
Finally Dacosta decided, since the bell
had not yet been consecrated and since
he could cast another to take its place
that it would be all right to sell.
So Captain Clasby bought the bell.
and it was brought to Nantucket by
Captain Cary. whose vessel was going
home first. In Lisbon, just before he
set sail, Captain Cary heard Of the dec
laration OF war with Great Britain.
for 1t was now the year 1912. On the
way over they were spoken by Brit
ish sloop Of war Fortunately the Brit
Usher had been at sea for some time
and haG not yet heard Of the declara
ton of war. The commander asked
Captain Cary the news. but Captain
Cary says he took especial pains not
to tell all he knew. II he had told. our
precious bell would probably never
have seen Nantucket. 1t might now be
either at the bottom Of the sea or it
might be swinging in the tower Of
some English church.
The bell was landed in Nantucket
and placed In the store cellar Of Sam
uel Cary, where 1t remained until 1873,
when 1t was purchased and placed In
the tower where it now hangs. About
$500 was given for the bell-the society
paid about $3.50 and the rest was raised
by subscription. Even some Friends
or Quakers subscribed.
After the bell had been in use little
while the agents Of the historic Old
South church in Boston heard Of it. and
they sent letter to the agents Of the
South church In Nantucket. saying that
they had very good clock in their
tower. but no bell; that they had heard
that the South church In Nantucket
had very fine bell, and they would
like to know for how much the bell
could be bought.
The Nantucketers replied that they
had very fine bell In their tower, but
no clock: that they had heard that the
Old South church had very fine tower
clock, and that they would like to
lnow the price Of the clock.
The agents offered to pay 81 pound
for the bell Since the bell weighs
1875 pounds, this would have made

AN OLD SPANISH CHURCH BEII
History OF an Old which Now Hangs in
the Belfry of the Uniterian Church at
Nantucket.

Beneath the outlook In Nantucket
church Is the belfry, in which swings
the "od Spanish bell" Knowing that
this is now Unitarian church, the Wis
itor will be surprised to see Catholic
cross on the bell. II he could read Por-
tuguese and had not previously ac-
Quainted himself with the history Of
the bell he would be still more sur
prised at the inscription on it. The
translation Of this inscription is as fol-
lows: ITO the Good Jesus Of the Noun
tain the devotees Of Lisbon direct their
prayers, Offering Him one complete set
of six bells, to call the people to adore
him in his sanctuary. Jose Domingos
Dacosta has made 1t In Lisbon in the
year 1870" OF course the bell must
have an interesting history to account
for this inscription. That history is
briefly as follows:
A plague was raging in Lisbon and
certain people in that city prayed to
the Virgin Mary for the cessation of
the plague and vowed to place a set of
six bells in the Church Of the Good
Jesus Of the Mountain IL their PRAYERS
were heard. THE Mountain" is the
name Of a certain district In the city
Of Lisbon In which there is a very ven
cradle church called as above. Shortly
after this the plague ceased, and, ac-
cepting this as the answer to their
prayers, these devotees Of Lisbon pro-
ceeded to fulfill their vows. The work
Of casting these six bells was intrusted
to Jose Domingos Dacosta, the best
bell founder in Lisbon.
The six bells had been cast, the mas
ter's labors had been crowned with
success, when Captain Clasby of the
Nantucket whaling feet CHANGED to
visit Lisbon. He had long wished to
buy bell for use in his native town
In company with Captain Cary he
visited the bell foundry Of Jose Do
mingos Dacosta. Captain Cary. it
seems, was a connoisseur in bells. Da-
costa applied the lever to one bell after
another as he struck each to ascertain
its peculiar tone or tone quality, but
each time Captain Cary said. That
will not do"
At last DacOsta raised and struck
the bell whose history we are describ-
ang. Captain Cary was delighted with
the result. "Ah, CLASSIFY" he said,
''you need look no further. That's the
bell you want She Is beauty. She
sounds on b."
