by fire on Feb. g. 1898. The walls were
left standing and the new cathedral
has been built directly on the site and
along the architectural lines of the old.
The building is Gothic in design, is alb
solutely fireproof and cost between
$150000 and 100000. The main altar,
which is entirely of marble, is a gift
from the priests of the United States
to the memory of the late Rt. Rev.
Bishop Thomas A. Becker, who was in
control of the diocese at the time of the
destruction of the church by fire. There
are other gifts from members of the
cathedral that add greatly to the beauty
of the interior.

What He Foresaw.


He predicted that time might come
when there would arise an aIistocracy
of wealth, and he expressed a hope that
the country would crush in its birth
the aristocracy of our moneyed corpora
tons. which dare already to challenge
our government to a trial of strength,
and bid defiance to the laws of our
country" He had a genuine contempt
for the arist0cracy of birth, and said:
IAN honest farmer occupies a more dig
nified place in the scale Of beings,
whether moral or political, than lazy
lounger, valuing himself on his fam
lily, too proud to work, and drawing
out a miserable existence by eating ON
chat surplus of other mems labor,
which is the sacred fund of the helpless
poor"

and throughout all ages, when the
mists of prejudice and passion, and
MISREPRESENTATION have cleared away,
Jefferson will stand out on the pages
of history as one of the greatest men
the world has produced.
His Early Manhood.
At the age of 20 Jefferson began the
study of law; he was admitted to the
bar In 1867. Two years before he had
listened to the eloquence of Patrick
Henry when that famous speech was
delivered which set the colonies ablaze
with opposition to the stamp act. In
1869 he was elected member of the
House of Burgesses and at once intro
duced a bill giving owners a right to
emancipate their slaves. The bill did
not become law until some years
later.
In 1872 he was married to Martha
Shelton, young and charming widow
who played the spinet to his violin and
delighted to sit at his feet her head
resting on his knee, and listen for hours
90 his reading from his favorite au-
thors. Theirs was an ideal union, but
she did not live to share her husband S
triumphs, for she died in 1882.
He was elected to the first Congress
In 1875 and, in the words of John
Adams, drought with him reputa-
ton for literature, science and happy
talent of composition" When, a year
later, he was appointed Chairman of
the committee to draw up declaration
of independence, his co-laborers unani-
mously left the matter in his hands,
and from the pen of Thomas Jefferson
emanated the most remarkable inn
peachment of an existing government
and a declaration of the rights of man
that ever burst on an expectant world,
Beginning in the years Immediately
preceding that Declaration of hide
pendence and closing in the early part
of the administration of John Quincy
Adams, the writings of Thomas Jeffer
son are a rich depository of principles
In the science of government
He was a voluminous writer and his
reflections and theories, his profound
and original ideas In the realm Of re
ligion, morals, education, law, thu
rights of man, and other topics, arr
we'll worthy the study and attention o

tomorrow.
There will be a meeting of the traffic
officials of the leading Northern railroads

adjusting the grain rates, over which
there has already been considerabl con-
tent1on and few meetings. A meeting
OF local officials whose roads are affected
by these rates was held in this city last
thursday. Among those who will attend
the meeting from st. Paul are Vice Pres
1dent d. Miller and General Freight Agent
". o. Somers, of the Great Northern and
vice President j. T. Clark of the Omah a
primarily a request was made bv the
lines running directly into Chicago and
1HIWaukee upon the Northern lines to
have their grain rates increased. The
illinois Central, the Milwaukee and the
Chicago & Northwestern protested that
because of the extremely low rates, the
great bulk of shipments in grain from
Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota points
to the Twin Cities and Duluth were being
made by the Northern Ines, and that Chi
cago and Milwaukee were being deprived
of their share.
The rates are from to in favor of the
Twin Cities, therefore the grain is divert
ed from the lower Mississippi points of
intersection, causing Chicago to lose some
of It's former prestige. The lines benefited
by the low rates are the Great Northern
