B Tyrolean-Alpine Singers.
i The concert given by the TyroleanAlpine
singers at the Fitting School
auditorium Monday evenning was a
musical treat, certainly one of the
finest attractions that has visited
Bamberg in some time. The musical
numbers were of the highest order,
and the reading of Miss Ramsden was
superb. Head Master Guilds is doing
a patriotic work in bringing such
romnanies here, and he should at
least have the financial support of 1
the public whom he is so faithfully <
'serving. If he can pay expenses on i
these attractions he is doing well, 1
and he should not be forced to fear 1
financial loss all the time.

But all the same a busybody had
written to the committee of the fund
itating that Jan Lambezellec was a
>achelor, that Noel was not his son,
md that, therefore, the reward was
>eing conferred under false pretensss.
Red tape has its ritual and has
o be satisfied, so the fund sent down
o Brest to ask old Jan Lambezellec
n his small cottage why he had de:lared
that Noel was his son.
"Yes," said the old man, "I am a
>echelor. But Noel is my son, though
have never married, and his mother
is the sea."
"The sea?" inquired the messenger.
"Yes, the sea which washed Belle
sle lighthouse away just 20 years
igo, before it was the great building
t is now, and when it was not on
3elle Isle itself, but on the spit of
ock which disappeared in the queer
leather three years back. Volcanic?
day be. It disappeared. That's all
know. We used to call it Happy
sland, Goulvec and I, because life |
vas so dull there. A bit of a buildng
60. feet high on a bit of bare rock
n the sea. A small room for Goul-ec
and me, just under the lamp.
The lamp to look after, and when it
*ras foggy (it usually is foggy nine
nonths in the 12, as you know,) a
jreat bell to ring till the weather
;leared up. That was our life on
lappy Island.
"And 21 years ago, on Christmas
?ve, Goulvec and I had quarreled. I
lon't remember what it was about.
But a quarrel between two men who
ive in one small room, where their
loses rub as as they ait at supper, is
io amusing thing. We had not
ipoken to each other since the mornng.
Our fire was drooping because
leither of us would look after it,
tnd we sat there on Christmas eve
md thought about the little church
m land here, with the manger and
he plaster statues of the kings in
)lue and gold, the ox, the ass, St.
Toseph, Mother Mary and the Baby
vith the gifts round Him.
"Goulvec had a wife and two chiliren
at home. My only home was
Sappy Island. It was a merry evenng.
Oh, no, I shan't forget Christnas

igo. We were short of food, too.

;ive and we had no more tobacco.
We sat over the miserable little fire
md brooded in silence.
"The sea moaned and lashed the
*ock, and the wind whistled and
swore at us outside, but we were used
:o that, and I remember thinking
;hat the night was very still and woniering
whether when 12 o'clock
struck we should hear the church
Dells from shore. We sometimes did,
md last Christmas old Goulvec and
[ had kissed like women when the
Dells rang out, and had touched
glasses to the wife and lads on
shore.
"Suddenly we sprang up and listened.
I heard a crash on the rock
Dutside, and Goulvec had heard it,
too. 'Stay you here and see to the
ire,' I said. 'It's my watch. Til go
Iown.' 'Be careful, comrade,' said
Did Goulvec, and touched my shoulier
as I left the room. We were not
talkative men, either of us, and our
luarrel was over. There was something
in danger outside.
"It was no easy matter to get
iown. The staircase was slippery,
md the wind and sea were high. As
for the stones, they were like ice,
md it was not an easy thing to get
3ut to the point where I heard something
tapping. There was a hit of
i boat there, and I marveled that it
held together. I was so startled,
though, by what I saw in it that I
forgot to look, as I ought to have
looked, for her ship's name and number.
"There was a bundle in the cockleshell,
and the bundle wailed in a
jueer little high-pitched voice, which
[ heard quite distinctly above the
tvind and the lashing of the sea. , I
have always marveled how I got it
Dut of the b^?at without drowning
myself. But I did get it out, and the
boat went to pieces as I stumbled
Dack to the lighthouse.
" 'Comrade,' I said, as I pushed
the door open and blinked at the
brightness inside, 'comrade, poke up
the fire. Here's a visitor,' 'Saint Joseph!'
cried Goulvec (he swore by
3t. Joseph, who was his name-saint,)
Saint Joseph, it is our lord himself!'
But it was only 'a baby boy whom
the sea had washed up to our doorstep,
and we called him Noel. As
Goulvec had lads and a wife of his
jwn, we agreed that the child should
TRAIN STRIKES WAGON.
Fatal Railway Accident at Grade
Crossing.
At a grade crossing near Bath in
Aiken county, Saturday night at
7:40 o'clock, B. C. Sharp, 50 years of
age, was instantly killed and his body
frightfully mangled. James Reynolds,
13 years of age, was so seriously
injured that he will die, and Ben
Sharp, son of B. C. Sharp, received
injuries which may result in his
death, when a wagon in which they
were driving was struck by Southern
-L __ A A 1 IV .
itanway train i\o. zy, Known as me
Palm Limited.
The Sharps and the Reynolds boy
are from Augusta. Sharp, who was a
peddler of chickens had been on the
Carolina side buying poultry and
eggs and with the boys had started
back to Augusta Saturday night,
when they drove in front of the Palm
Limited, the wagon being struck
slightly forward in the front wheels.
The elder Sharp was caught in the
wreck of the vehicle and his body
dragged for some distance. He was
killed instantly.
The Reynolds boy was found on
the pilot of the engine when the train
came to a stop. He had an ugly
wound in the back of his head. Young
Sharp was dashed to one side and was
injured about the legs and body. One
of his hips was fractured and a leg
broken; internal injuries were also
found. The engineer, E. A. Wagner,
declined to make a statement. The
injured boys were carried to Augusta
hospital, where they received surgical
attention. Sharp's horse was
killed and his wagon torn to splinters.
Doctor Chloroforms Doomed Man.
Portland, Me., Feb. 19.?Pinioned
beneath wreckage of freight cars, fol
lowing a Kead-on collision of two
freight trains on the Grand Trunk
road at North Yarmouth this morning
Arthur Collis, a fireman, reailzed
that the efforts to rescue him from
the flames, which were directly over
his body, would fail and he pleaded
for an hour and a half for physicians
to give him something to put him
out of his agony.
After all efforts to remove the
heavy timbers from the man's body
failed, Dr. Edgar E. Barker, of Portland
crawled through a tunnel of
grain and wreckage to Corliss's side
and passed him a handkerchief saturated
with chloroform. By that
time flames were lapping the lower
part of Corliss's body.
"I did the only thing a man could
do," said Dr. Barker. "I did not
want to give the man chloroform,
and I did not give it to him until I
knew that it was impossible for him
live. He pleaded for more than an
hour for us to give him something
to put him out of his agony, and I
decided that it was the right thing
to do.
"When I passed him the saturated
handkerchief he did not hesitate a
second, as he knew that he would be
burned almost by inches.
"It was the last resort to relieve a
doomed man."
Oil lamps can be prevented from
smoking if a little liquor distilled
from onions be placed in the bottom
of their reservoirs. t

wind changed a few minutes later,
and the fire burned up more brightly.
We fed Noel on milk?lucky we
hsd any?taking turns to hold the
child and the spoon. Our quarrel
had disappeared, as if by magic. We
rang the bell that night without remembering
whose turn it was, and
we pretended (for lonely men have
to play at pretended games like children
do when they are cheerful) that
the fog-bell was really the church
bell for Christmas. And I'll swear
we heard the shore bells ringing on
Christmas morning, too, though
Goulvec always said that was just
my imagination?
"They began chiming just as little
Noel took his first sup of milk out of
I the spoon I held, and opened eyes
: like early pansies up into my face.
'Don't cry into his milk, you fool,'
growled Goulvec. 'You will make it
all salty.' 'He loved his joke, did old
Goulvec. Poor chap, he has been
dead these 18 years.
"And Noel is my son now, monsieur,
and the sea his mother. Papers?
No, I have never thought about papers
for him. But if you say so, he
must have them. He will want them
next year when he has to serve
France. Of course, he'll be a sailor.
He's a fisherman now. Put him down
of unknown father and mother if
you think that is best. We do not
care, Noel and I, and old Goulvec is
dead these 18 years.
"But Noel is my son and the sea
is his mother. It does not matter
what the official papers say about
him. Wie never saw or heard anything
of the ship from which the
sea took him. There were 30 ships
wrecked near Belle Isle that Christmas,
21 years ago."?Paris correspondence
