die row OF clustered columns like palm tree
or tree fern. We saw the same thing in England
when a circular or octagonal chapter house
was supported by one central clustered column,
but nothing like these rows on rows of stone
trees, seemingly almost alive.
The cathedral has a complete triforium. which
rises above the roof of the asles having win
dows behind it. The walls of the nave and
choir are supported by two sets of flying but
tresses from the outside. one above the other
and profusely adorned with carved pinracles
The antiquity of England really seems moth
ing compared with the antiquity of these towns.
The town halls are much older and better
preserved. The town hall of Cologne, with its
Gothic tower. a marvel of beauty, built In
1410 by the citizens to commemorate their final
victory over the tyrannical mobiles. These old
cities have glorious history in their struggles
for liberty.
All the other churches we have seen here are
Romanesque in architecture except one more
modern, which is false classic. One hundred
and forty-eight churches we're destroyed by the
French in 1905. They came near destroying
the cathedral also. but by the irony of fate the
great bells of the cathedral are cast from the
guns captured from the French in 1870. There
are dozens of churches within earshot of the
cathedral. The spires must have been like q
forest before 1875.

At the Church of st. Ursula the treasury is
adorned with the bones of herself, her lover
and IL 900 virgins, who were going on a pill

The cuts show the differences between the
cathedral and the other churches. St. Gereon's
is interesting because of its nave. which is in
the form of decagon and also because it has
no great west DOORS but only side entrances.
st. Martins has tower so massive and crude
that it looks as if it might have been built by
pre-Adamite man and stood the shocks of time
ever since. We saw one tower whose church
was destroyed in 1875. OF the old walls or for
tifcations we have seen only the arsenal, high
circular tower whose first floor courses of stone
look almost Roman in their style.

oped at the meeting that ex-senator ]. N. Cam

to succeed Senator Faulkner and the latter
gentleman, who was present, also announced
himself as a candidate for reelection. Promi-

the contest between the Camden and anti
Camden factions, which came near disruptine
the democratic party in West Virginia in 1886.
The senatorial contest is likely to absorb quite
as much attention among the democrats as the
matter Of carrying the state for the demo-
cratic presidential candidate The leaders ex-
pressed themselves as confident of their ability
to carry the state despite the unprecedented
fight they are expecting the republicans to
make.

And poured his distracting din.
