NEW YEAR EVE.

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new;
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring In the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the
mind, F'-" -"
For those that here we see no
Ring out the ;feua OF rich and poor.
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sWeeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out false pride in place and
blood, -
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good. s
Ring, out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years OF peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier
hand; .s
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

BIG SUM OFFERED
FOR CONVICT SHIP
New York Syndicate Willing to
Pay 100000 for Ancient
Vessel

On his return from Jacksonville yes
terday morning, Captain y. II. Smith
found an offer of 100000 from n New
York syndicate for the purchase of the
old British convict ship Success The
letter containing the offer says that
the money is deposited in New York
bank. and will be paid TO the present
owner the moment he is willing to sell.
Captain Smith is considering il. and
will probably arrive at "a decision be-
fore Monday afternoon, when the ship
sails for Newport News.
The fact that the Success Is the old
sole survivor of the English fleet of
convict transports Of 1896 is naturally
responsible for such an extraordinary
value. Captain Smith enjoys the un-
usual pleasure OF having something in
his possession that cannot be dupli-
Gated. 1t antedates Nelson's famous
agship, the Victory, which is regard
ed as n priceless relic.
Although attractive. the 100000 Of
fer for the Success does not represent.
in Captain Smiths opinion, the posi-
bilities of money in tho ship. This
syndicate has made overtures for the
purchase of the Success ever since she
sailed into Boston harbor on the end
of her transatlantic voyage in 1912
The offer to buy was renewed in an
other form in New York while the ship
was there, but was refused by Captain
Smith The ship is now insured against
marine disaster for S250,000.

will sail her down the river for New
