Barrett, Now ChUr I or Chicago Steered the Steamer Witfaia aa Inch or Death. ' "If I haa slept a rocond longer, the steamer, with Its 1,100 passengers and crow, would have crushed on to tho rocks. Thusu who esca;wl druweing would have been scattered over tho northern part of Ohio. There jtvas a frightful pressure of steam, aud tbu explosion would have come within 3D seconds after the machinery 6top2cd. I Kucsfl it was Providence awoke me iu time to save those lives." Thus spuko I'roffK;r John P. Barrett, chief elurtrleinn of Chicago. "It happened more than 40 years ago," heoontlinii'4. "I was only 19 years old then, rather youiiK to be ijnartenimsiter of the best steamer on tho laked, but that was the iiusiUon 1 iMdd. The City of Buffalo, of whieh I was one of tho wheelsmen, and tUu Western MetropoiK a sister Bide wheel er, were running opposite to each other be tween Cleveland and Buffalo. The City of Buflalo was 330 odd feet long, and yon could Ktand CO feet from her bows and touch cither rial. Who simply shot herself from Buffalo to Erie, and a second shot from Massassaupa point landed her at Cleveland but that isn't my story. - "We left Buffalo ut o'clock at night or near that hour and mado Cleveland about C In tho morning. I had tho wheel from Buffalo to Krio just half tho distance and from there jny partner took tho boat to Cleveland. One morning after we reached Buffalo I didn't go to sleep. I put in tho day seeing Buffalo. That night I was dead on my legs, plumb tired out. I anted my partner to take my end of the run and let ine sleep until we reached Erie. I was btill tired, but when ho routed mo out I took the wheel, and we cleared away all right for tliu last half of the run. " The course is as straight as a gun barrel. Tho night was tho calmest, plcasnntest I ever knew. I didn't feel sleepy. I simply was dead tired. The high swinging cbuir took tho motion of tho boat, and I suppose coaxed mn into a slumber. I don't know when I full asleep or how it was, but of a sudden I amused, nil standing and alert. "Just east of tho mouth of the Grand river, which comes into Lata Krio K) miles weat of Krio, the country bluffs up Into what U locally known as Hardy's head lands. From the headlands a reef runs out into tliu lake for a long distance. At PBOIXSSOK JOI1S P. BAKHETT. points it rises above tho surface, and In Its cutim length, some third of a mile or more, Is a wholly undesirable matter to carry a steamer into. Tho reef is abrupt In its formation, more liko a knife blade than to anything elso I can compare it, and on either side U good water. "When I dropped out of my chair In tho pink 4 o'clock dawn of tills delightful morning in August, instead of finding myself two miles from shore I noted as I glanced through the pilothouse window that tho Buffalo was headed dead on to tho fish warehouse at Fairport, with the apparent intention of climbing the roof in a few minutes. Under the port bow, not h long wny ahead, but directly nnder the noso of tho old steamer, were tho black, slln.o covered mcks of the limestone reef. I can sec t hem yet. They reminded mc then of tho teeth of tho devil, and tho water plashing niul rippling over them was like his smile. I thought of the thousand men and more asleep under my feet and of the homes my cursed tdecp wculd mako deso late. I saw all this, and I thought of it nil in an instant. There was a chance, and a slight one, between safety and tho most appalling disaster of tho lakes. I threw the wheel hard aport. God, how I t wilted It! It sang. Over it went like a flywheel. Tho handles mado a gray streak before me, and when it came down hard and fast I tied it down with the lashing. I never mado a series of such quick mo tions liefure or since, and every mental im pulse was a rrayer a prayer for tho slum liering passengers and crew and a curse for my own carelessness. "Would tho steamer ever fall off Tho sixtieth part of a minnte, when that boat and her cargo of 1,100 souls hung ovor de struction, was longer to rue than the lon gest year I ever lived. When I lashed the wheel, I crawled through the door out on the rail. I hadn't time to check her, and when tho impulse to do so came I figured if slio lost any of her. headway she was surely gone. I stood on the solitary chance of her answering instantly. I didn't be lieve she would. I just prayed for it dully. "Would tho boat ever alter ber dead ahead course? Imperceptibly almost the Jackstaff fell away from the chimney on tho kill and lined np with the littlo, sqoat, whitewashed lighthouse on tho Fairport government pier. So slowly the steamer bent away H seemed like the dragging of years in eternity. But she replied to the rudder aa honestly and sincerely as the honest and sincere creature she was and shot away for the open lake at her race horse speed. I could foci her keel rasp over a submerged rock, and those nearer the top nicked and raked along the swell of her aides. Under her stern the mad and sand churned up as black as a thunder cloud. The tension on my nerves gave way. "I staggered blindly op the ladder to the pilothouse and fell against the wheel like a drunkard. I noted then that I was as cold as ice, and yet mr shirt, my waist- J coat and even my coat were wringing we I with perspiration, I clumsily threw off the lashing of the j wheel my fingers wste aatnbed wit aaM rt on an A ngst morning an3 headed the City of Buffalo for Willoughby point, the next steering mark on tho ' Cleveland eoarso. ..-- "Not a person aboard the boat had been awakened by the changing of the conrsn. So far as 1 could ever learn I wasn't making miny inquiries there was no one awatu but myself ana tho engineers and firemen an I one or two others. After I had pulled myself together I looked out of the front window of the wheelhou.se. Di rectly below ma sat the mato, tipped liack in an armchair, asleep. Ho had dosed Within an inch of death. . was still shaking and trembling wnen we ntauo cicveianu. I got her into the Cuyahoga and up against the landing an rignt aun went asnore. 1 round the captain in the oOice of the company and resigned on the spot. I wouldn't have finished the trip for a fortune, and from that day to this my hand has not touched the wheel of a steamboat." UON AND BULL FIGHTS. How lime. Pouaon Furnishes Exeitinc Amuar Blent to the taoateinaJaa Populace. If mo. Kiisa Ch. Vve Poisson of Guate mala, a motherly looking woman of SO. claims to have invented a new amusement for the blue blood of tho Central American republic. This consists of a light to the death between a Hon and n bull. For such encounters only untamed lions are service able. Tho good lady usod to tiavo nn old and experienced lion called My Prince, who was never known to miss killing his bull MME. POISSOX. My Prince, however, died with all his teeth intact nfter having demolished his eight li consecutivo bull, and Guatemala was left disconsolate. There wore no more good old gory fights because tho other lions belonging to ilinu. Poisson's show were of tho snarling niul not the lighting variety. It became necessary, therefore, to proenre a Simon pure African ronrer, and orders were promptly given to a, well known for eign dealer to have such a ono shipped to Mme. Poisson at New York. The lion arrived nt that port the other day, and Mme. Poisson traveled aU the way from her Central American home to receive the king of beasts and superintend its trans shipment for Guatemala. This is how they conduct the fights: In the middle of tho arena they piaco two cages, one of thum .10 feet square and 21 fuet high and tho other about ono-lifth as large. The bull has the freedom of t he laru cage, and tho Hon works himself into a frenzy iu the smaller one, - As soon as the lion has acquired a thorough nnd deep rooted dislike to that bull they throw ojien the dour of his cage and let him at his antagonist. Mine. Poisson says she nover in all her experience saw a bull whip a lion, and her worn may bo taken for it that most of tho stories of tho deinolishmont of tho king of beasts by bulls, more or les? admirably horned or boeled, are apocryphal. In Guatemala the people aro so enthusiastic- over those fights that they somet imes break down the inclosure in which the en gagement takes place in ordor to see the lion chew the bull up. A BRUTAL PRINCE. If Frederick leopold lived In America Be Might Be Tarred and Feathered. If Princo Frederick Leopold wero just a common American- citizen instead of a prince, his wifo, who is a princess of Prus sia and a sister to the German empress, would have had him arraigned In a police court for boating her. The foot is that he was arraigned by Emperor William, who tried him, sentenced him to linpria onmcnt in his room and placed guards at the door to soo that his brother-in-law served out tho term. Tho princo is a cav alry colonel, and not long ago told his wife to stay in her room all day. The '. . . r PRIXCESS FHEDEniCK LEOPOLD. wife didn't like that sort of thing, or, at all events, did like skating, and, with a young woman of her household, left tho loom for an hour's whirl on the ice. The ice i broke, the princess got wet and was rubbed down and put to bed. When the prince returned and beard the tale, he sought out his lady and gave her a thor ough drubbing, like a plain, blunt man, with his riding whip. Then he wont to his study, fell iu a fit and ground his teeth and groaned. But his servants refused to give him smelling salts or to throw cold water on him unUI the doctor arrived. Tho kaiser and bia wife were furious when they beard the story, abd the emperor de cided to teach his high handed relative a lesson. The severe punishment meted out to Prince Frederick mightily pleased all the ladies of the German court. Pugilist say that a blow on the nose arrarrinea wim move pain shea one on L . . .

But in this instance the husband is the com plainant. Ue is a young man who sidetracks all troubles when possi. oie; ne nas a couple of small children and is a handy and willing assistant in household matters, especially in agreeable weather, but when the at mosphere reaches that point when it causes the thermometer fluid to com. mence flirting, he prefers remaining beneath the blankets and lettiner the fire-starting job devolve on someone else. lie is an exception to the ordi nary run of men and did not instruct ma oeiier-naii to start the morning fires. Instead he engaged a domes tic. - The fire-starting question was discussed and it was finally agreed that the husband should ar range kindling in the kitchen stove so that the application of a match by the hired girl in the morning wonld mean an immediate humming pot w armor. The lirst few mornings everything worked like a charm. The domestic would touch the match and then hur the stove and await developments One morning the husband heard the clock strike seven before being arousea dv ine hired girl, which was another detail of the agreement. So lie crawled out and got into his gar ments and made a run for the kitchen, where he expected to meet a cheery red stove and a steaming breakfast. Not this time. With her feet on the railing and her head re clining in a rocking chair was the domestic sound asleep, and not a spark of fire in tho stove. He tried to get mad. but tho atmosphere of ine Kiteucn was too chilly for an ar gument and he roused the girl and returned to his couch, where a little dissertation with his wife followed on account of his disturbing her Slumbers. He thought he had not awakened the girl sulliciently for her to understand the situation. So he commenced shouting. The kitchen is quite a ways from the sleeping apartments, and the girl did not hear the first few calls. Ho contin ued shouting and finally awakened the two children who slumbered in a little couch alongside their parents1 bed. One of the little ones was es pecially cranky and made papa crawl out of his warm couch for a drink of water. He got it and re turned once more to bed. He got to work that morning at 9 o'clock. "Oh, our girl's a beaut," he Fays. "It's not the first time that she has gono to. sleep hugging the stove. But I know how I am to fix it. We were always against keeping the beater going over night. But that's what goes hereafter. Then when 1 crawl out I'll have more than the kitchen stove to depend on."
