CATHEDRAL OF ST. JOHN.

Something About the Site md Cost
of the EdiHce.
From the New York Press.
The most notable structure on Morning
side Heights VIII be the great Cathedral Of
St. John the Divine, which is projected by
the diebitaries of the Episcopal Church of
the United States. The proposition to
erect a great cathedral by leading mem
bers of this determination was made about
five years ago. But 1t was not until a year
or two after that enough money had been
secured t. make the project seem at all
likely of accomplishment.
The cathedral as originally designed to
cost about $5,OOO.OOO. but the details have
been SO elaborated since the plan was first
thought of that it is probable that 1t will
alone will cost al least half the amount of
the original estimate of the entire cost of
the building. So far as can be learned the
trustees have now several million dollars
with which to prosecute the work. The
first contribution of any large amount came
from Miss Catherine Wolff. who gave ST.
100000. The Vanderbilt family contributed
$1N.OO and the Astors a like amount. An
somebody whose name the trustees refuse;
to divulge. Mrs. E. NJ. Cole gave $4,000
and other large amounts have been re-
ceived, as also many contributions from
500 to 10000
The site selected for the cathedral is at
10th street and Amsterdam avenue. upon
the rocky knoll at the lower extremity of
Mornirgside Park. where Leake and Watts
Orphan House used to be. This institution
was moved up the Hudson river several
years ago II make way for the new
cathedral. The tract of land is five times
as large in area as that occupied by St.
Patrick's Cathedral on 9Th avenue.
The general ground Plan of the cathedral
will be in the form of the cross, with a
nave chancel, and transepts. each having
central and two outside aisles. The main
entrance and front of the cathedral will be
on the south. The length is to be 500 feet
and the width across the front 100 feet
The height of the central tower will be 425
feet from the front step of the entrance
and 525 feet above the level of the city
When hcrings were made to ascertain the
stability of the underlying strata quick
SAND was struck in several places and it
was thought that another site might have
to be selected. But all difficulties have
teen overcome, and this year will see a
substantial beginning of the actual work
# laying the foundations.

HE TAKES IN SAIL.
The Free Silver Congressman Lowers
His COlOrs in WnshfnRton.

His COlOrs in Warrington.
These are the days when the average free
coinage Congressman takes in sail as he
reaches Washington. The exchanges and
an occasional press dispatch may depict
him cruising under full canvas among his
free silver constituency, every stitch draw
ing and leaving wide wake of glittering
generalities in his course. Free as the
winds Of heaven is his talk for free silver
and often as airy.
But let him come down to Washington to
do little business with the heads of the
executive departments or with the Presi-
dent. and see him take in his canvas. No

Experience of Two Dogs.
the Providence Journa1

From the Providence Journal.
A pair of dogs had very unhappy ten
minutes on Westminster street yesterday
afternoon. 1t was after o'clock when the
first dog came rambling along and a few
minutes later the other dog appeared.
They promptly struck up a friendship and
went on an investigating tour in Indian
file
An innocent-appearing trolley pole stands
on the sidewalk, and. though it was rain
ing. the ground about this pole was dry
when the dogs showed up. The first dog
moved up to the pole and put his nose
against it. Then he let out a series of
bowls and yels and proceeded to roll over
on the ground. prefacing the proceeding by
Kicking the second dog in the eye. The lat
ter animal seemed panied and surprised at
this behavior, and he investigated by put
ting the end of his nose against the pole =
A number of people hurried to the spot
and listened to the canine duet, while deg
No. l continued to roll around in wet
places and dog No. ran up and down with
his nose against the flagstones. Somebody
said the dogs had a pair of fits between
them, but he didn't explain how one dog
could catch fit from the other. Still, he
ran for pail Of water
Officer OBrien came along, saw the dry
place about the pole and recognized that it
was charged with electricity. He said the
dogs were shocked, and the man who saw
the first of 1t thought that that described
the feelings of the second dog after the
first dog had found out what was in the
pole. While the dogs were cleaning off the
sidewalk with themselves the officer guard
ed the pole and warned away drivers of
horses. He also notified the Union Railroad
Company, and when the wagon came II
was found that the insulation in the cap
over the trolley was worn out and the cur
rent had escaped, charging the ground
wires and the pole After this interesting
fact was communicated to the dogs they
stopped rolling and ran away.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Edward Shipper of Philadelphia ceie-
brates this year the fiftieth anniversary
of his graduation from Princeton College.
Perhaps the most interesting of his anec-
dotes of college days is his experience with
Prof Joseph Henry, the inventor of the
original electromagnetic telephone Mr.
Sh;npen SAYS he worked with Prof. Henry
in stringng a wire from his house to the
laboratory, and when the arrangements
were completed, he, with other students,
was invited to witness the test. The pro-
lessor said he was about to order his dinner
brought to tle laboratory, and asked the
students what he should have. They sus-
gested different vegetables, and the pro-

Remarkable Newspapers.

From the New York Advertiser.
The most remarkable journal in the world
is published weekly at Athens, under the
editorship of George Souris. 1t is written
entirely in verse, even the advertisements
being cast in poetic form, and it is SO popu-
lar, witha1. as to remove Greece from the
cate CORY of places where this sort of thing
is a drug in the market The verse is not
mere doggerel, but always artistic and
often powerful. 1t consists of four pages
of double columns. the size of the page be-
ing ten inches by eight. Occasionally it
has comic wood cuts.
Another curious feature of journalism is
a newspaper published once a century
The paper is called the Illuminated Quad
ripple onstellation, and was published in
New York in 1859. 1t is no less than eight
and one-half feet in length by six in width
1t contains eight pages of thirteen columns
each The columns are forty-eight inches
in length, and, if placed end to end would
fern strip of paper about 125 yards in
length.
