These are raised four feet and are reached
by starcases on either side. From these

The shrine of the holy sepulcher is an
exact representation of that found in the
Holy Land, with an outer and an inner
chamber. In the latter is highly polished
slab, representing that upon which the
Savior was laid. In order to make this as
real as possible even the crack is initiated
in the slab. 1t will be interesting to note
that the carly Christians purposely cracked
the slab on which Christ was laid, that
the Turks, who We're always looking for
fine marble, would not steal it. In each
chamber of the s:?rine there will be an

The ceiling of the church is frescoed in
white rosettes, about eighteen inches

and south sides add greatly to the elabo-

MANY CHILDREN SUFFER.
A Strange Disease Reported in Pough-
keepsie and Neighboring Towns.
Parents Arc Greatly Alarmed at the
Spread Of Child Paralysis, Declared
by Physicians to Be Infectious.

PouaHKEEps1E, N. Y. Especially D.-Parents
are alarmed over an epidemic OF fnfantile
paralysis which is prevailing here. New
cases are added every day, and some OF
them are serious. Several cases are re-
ported in surrounding towns. More than
fifty per cent. Of the sufferers are under
three years OF age, and they are found in
families Of rich and poor alike. The ply
sicians here, after examining authorities
on infantile paralysis, agree that the
trouble has been epidemic before, but the
symptoms heralding its approach were dif-
ferent. Some suggested that the pr sent
epidemic Is the "grip" in new guise.
DR.. Henry D. Chaplin, professor In the
Post Graduate Hospital, New York City,
came to this city by request OF DR.. D. NJ.
Sheedy, who hrst reported the disease
among his patients. DR.. Chaplin accom-
panied DR.. Sheedy to the bedside OF seven
children ranging from one to five years,
all victims OF the disease.
DR.. Chaplin said he had never found
similar trouble in children. He said ne
believed 1t to be the result OF softening OF
the gray matter OF the spinal cord, and
while not dangerous to the life OF the child
1t would doubtless result in permanent
paralysis Of the limbs affected. The lower
limbs become helpless after three days OF
fever, the fever being apparently exactly
similar to that OF malaria. DR.. Chap1n
expressed his belief that the disease Is In
fictitious, and would give it no name ex-
cept infantile paralysis.

CASES IN NEW YORK CITY.
Physicians Declare That the Disease May
Become Epidemic.

NEW YORK CRY (SpeciaD. The peculiar
disease, infantile paralysis, which Is prevail
ing In Poughkeepsie and in other places,
has reached this city. 1t Is seldom fatal,
but there is great danger in every case
that permanent partial or total paral ysis
of the lower limbs may result. Physicians
are studying every case that Is brought to
their notice with the greatest interest, and
do not deny that there is cause for great
alarm ut the prospect Of a disastrous epi'
denic. The greatest danger, however, IN
the Judgment OF leading specialists, is In
this very alarm. The first symptoms are
listlessness and weakness OF the limbs, with
loss OF power to contract the muscles, to-
gether with inability to perceive sensa-
tions In one or more parts OF the BODY,
