ton. A meeting was called yesterday
afternoon in the office of President
Kenneth Clark, of the Merchants Ma
tional bank. 1t was decided to aban-
don the old boat, and to immedia teIy
take steps towards securing a building.
Accordingly, committee of three, con-
sisting of Mrs. c.. G. Higbee, H. A.
Campbell and Rev. David Morgan,
was appointed to investigate several
proposed sites. and will report to a
meeting of the board of trustees this
afternoon.
Vacant buildings on East Third
street and other places were looked
at, and it is probable that one of them
will be selected. The board will i'm
mediately secure the building settled
upon, and will either purchase or lease
it.
The sinking of the Bethel created
considerable comment among the peo-
pie of the depot district yesterday, and
crowds gathered about to watch the
men and attendants unload her cargo
of beds, furniture, personal effects,
boxes Of toys, croekery, kitchen uten-
sis and even food supplies. The
greater part of the contents of the boat
was rescued, though much of the fur
nlture on the lower floor was aban-
doned on account of the water. The
water rose about four feet over the
lower floor when the keel rested on the
bottom of the river. During the after
noon a force of men removed the con-
tents of the upper floor. The things
will be stored in the Diamond 10 ware
house till the new quarters are ready
for occupancy.
The accident will cause temporary
inconvenience to the patrons of the in
stitution, and therefore there was la
mentation among the seedy loungers OF
the leyee. Some looked with wistful
eyes on the old house boat that had

1t VIII not be long before patrons of
the Bethel will be given accommoda-
lions, for the board of trustees is
alive to the necessity Of immediate
action. The Bethel has, ever since its
founding, been one of st. PauFs most
practical charities, and has done a vast
amount of good among the class of
people most needing assistance. Not
only has it furnished food and cheap
lodging to the reduced workmen, but
it has maintained several incidental
charities.
It's Sunday school has an enrolment
of 500 scholars, and it's sewing school
for girls has an attendance of over 100.
A mothers afternoon tea, entertain
ments, lectures, evening socials and
summer outings are among the social
functions that are conducted in connec-
ton with the Bethel.
The st. Paul Bethel is one of the old
est charity organizations in the state
Ever since its organization in 1872, I'M
til the present, its motto has been to
help others to help themselves. Rev.
Robert Smith was its first chaplain.
In 1887 E. r. Pierce was elected chap
lain, and at once commenced looking
for "a place where a Bethel home could
be started. A year later a contract was
let for the building of the boat at a
cost of $1,000, and an ordinance was
passed by the st. Paul council grant
ing the right to moor the boat at the
foot of Sibley street. On May 8, 1891,
the boat was dedicated. A disastrous
fire destroyed the Bethel few years
after but it was rebuilt
The coffee house was established in
September, 1891. 1t at once sprang into
popularity and surpassed all expecta-
tons. About 400 lunches have been
served every day.
The Bethel has been under the su-
