GIANT PILLARS FOR CATHEDRAL.
so LARGE THAT THEY WILL PROBABLY
HAVE TO BE MADE IN TWO PIECES.

HAVE TO BE MADE IN TWO PIECES.
Vinalhaven. Me. Aug. 10 CspeciaD.-The Bodweu
Granite Company. of this place. has the contract
to manufacture the pillars Of granite for the mag
nihcent Cathedral Of St. John the Divine now
building in NewYork City These pillars are TO
be 5s feet long and feet in diameter There are
to be eight OF them. Attempts have been made
70 get them out in piece. but after breaking
two that plan has been temporarily abandoned.
and the pillars will probably consist OF TWO pieces
of 3 feet each The impression prevails that this
is the only way the oig pillars be manufaet-
ured
II is said however by the company's manage
ment that IL has vet been definitely decided
whether the company should abandon the idea OF
getting the colossal pillars out in piece. A two
piece pillar is being prepared The first two
broke on the gigantic polishing lathe under the
great pressure that is necessary Go produce the
smooth surface. The lathe made expressly
for this great undertaking. and cost over $1,000.
II Is the largest polishing lathe in this country.
The importance OF this undertaking may be re-
allied when the great weight OF each pillar IL
exercised In loOsing this giant piece OF granite
from Its native bed squarng IL for the cutters and
dinary. The fun length pillar its form Of feet
square weighs something like i75 In putting
II into circular form It loses about Onethird of It's
weight so that when polished il viii weigh about
When the building committee Of ST. John the
Dvtne's decided upon these huge pillars IL had dif
nculty In finding a quarry where thew could be
obtained The contract was finally made with the
Bodwsll company Nothing like these pillars had
ever been attempted in modern times. and much
interest centred upon their successful manu-
pieces depends the Joint decision OF the build
Ing committee and the granite company.

In the cabin there we're but nine
passengers. this being the smallest

At a late hour last evening il looked
a. II she would get away about
O'Clock this morning for San Fran

Captain Harry Smith has a travel
inE companion on this trip which is
the pet Of the ship and passengers.
The companion is a magnificent speci
men OF the St. Bernard dog. 1t was
presented to Captain Harry by Freight
Clerk Thorn. who paid four hundred
dollars for the animal when il was
a puppy. Now II has grown to-a great
size and has become much more val
liable. Monarch is the name offthe
create animal. and a monarch he GER
tainly appears. In intelligence he is
almost human. 1ne hot weather does
not seem TO agree with Monarch and
yesterday he was not feeling as spry
as usual.
Captain Smith is thinking of leaving
him in San Francisco for a trip so
that Monarch will have a chance TO
recuperate a little after his long ocean
trip.
Another dog at present in port is the
pet OF Captain Kelly of the Mohican.
This dog is a Scotch collie and is a
trick dog. Sport likes the sea life and
has a particular liking for the first
watch When at sea he turns in and
out with this watch and is usually
with the mate on his rounds. An or
der given by the captain or first mate
is always punctuated by a bark by
Sport and sometimes when the men
in his watch are hauling on a rope
Sport takes hold OF the end and helps
haul While in port the dog has a
habit OF going ashore and remaining
for several hours. but he always turns
up at meal times so Captain Kelly
does not worry about MIN when he is
away from the ship.

Captain Broadfoot Of the British

of The Republican yesterday TO deny
the story published exclusively in The

the following statement regarding the

knots an hour and there was a heavy
sea running | called TO the man in
the water TO take hold of the patent

sent aloft TO keep lookout for the
man. II took some time 10 bring the
ship up into the wind and when this
was zone n boat was launched. | so

the man fell overheard, had done
nothing 60 aid him up To the time

not so. | had chickens cooked for
them one time and they sent them aft
and said thev were too tough to eat.
The story in the paper was q deliber-
ate lie and / would not like to have
the paper go home with the account OF
the death OF the man in IT,"
A perusal of the story as told by
the men OF the Garry aud as told hy
Captain Broadfoot reveals the fact
that the Captain. except for denying
the statement OF the sailors that their
food was not ucurishing. has not de
MED anything else, ie has not told
what time it took 10 lower the bOat.
The yell to the man TO grab hold Of
the log-liue was great deal of as
sistance rendered OF course. and shows
that the skipper did all in has power
10 aid the swimmer. Within easy
reach OF a man standing on the poop
of the Garry are several life buoys.
None OF them were thrown q the Tan
in the water. According 10 the csp-
sain nothing was thrown 20 the man.
but the captains voice advising him to
grab hold of the log line. ree fact
that boat was tardiIy lowered and
that the vessel cruised about for about
an hour after the beat was lowered
is very poor excuse, but better than
none.

The first fun rtgged metal sailing

Roach in 1888 at Chester, Pa. The
Starbuck was the first sailing vessel

The seaworthiness of the iron sailing

of the Starbuck in a terrific gale near
