When a new Catholic chapel was first

opposition from many unexpected quar-
tiers. The old wooden building in which
Catholic services were held had been
used for band practice and other pur-
poses, and was SO clearly unfit as place
Of worship that Col Ernst, who was
then superintendent, urged the secretary
of war, Mr.. Lamont, to give permission
for the erection of a Catholic chapel
The secretary had no sooner granted it

Mills seiected a site for the new build
ing, and West Point Catholics have now
a handsome place of worship.
Father O'keefe went through the arch
diocese and collected over $4,000 to de-
fray the building expenses. The peo-
pie of Highland Falls and West Point
also contributed literally toward it. The
building is of granite, similar to that
used in the academic building. The style
of architecture is Gothic. The English
rather than the German form has been
followed by the architect, a fact which
gives the building a picturesque appear
ance. Stained glass windows have been
given by Father O'Keefes friends, and
a magnificent marble altar has also been
erected The interior of the chapel is
finely decorated Hardwood pews to ac-
communicate a large congregation have
been put in place
The chapel is built on the site OF an
old outpost which overlooks Washington
