DENMARK'S GREAT CATHEDRAL
Historic Sanctuary With the Remains
of Rulers is at Roskilde.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The great cathedral of Denmark IL stu
ated about eighteen miles west OF Copen-
hagen in the little town Of Roskilde, where
in former days was royal residence. KOS
kilde is on the main railway line running
across Zealand to Kursour, the little port
on the Great Belt, from whence the boats
sail for Kiel and Nyborg. 1t is very quiet
little town of 5000 inhabitants, the pic
turesque houses looking very humble be-
meath the towering mass of the cathedral
standing on the edge Of the hill which drops
precipitousy down to the ford at It's foot.
seems strange to see so grand pile bullt
entirely Of red brick, but the cathedral OF
Roskilde is Of this material within and
without.
The original building, erected by King
Harald Baatand in the tenth century, was
of wood. This was followed in the next CEN
fury by building consisting of a nave and
two aisles constructed of limestone. The
present building is believed to have been
commenced in 1910, when Peter Suneson
was bishop of Roskilde.
All the Danish royal family are laid to
rest in Roskilde; the word buried" Ii
scarcely applicable, for the royal remains
merely stand in great collins In the various
chapels on the north and south sides OF the
cathedral.
One of the chapels is dedicated to Chris
tan IV-one Of Denmark's most famous
kings, who lived in the latter part OF the
sixteenth and the first half OF the seven
teenth centuries. The chapel was built part
ly after the kings own design between 1918
and 1920, but the mural paintings were
added later by Christian VIII In the
naval battle Of Femarn the king lost an
eye, and fell fainting from loss Of blood.
Christian Tvs coffin is Of oak. covered
with black velvet. and ornamented with sill
yer plates on the sides and a crucifix and
the kings sword on the top. The coffin
nearest his is that of Queen Anna Cath
erina. the first consort of Christian Nv.
and another belongs to the Prince Chris
tan, who was elected successor, but died
before his father.
During Queen Alexandria's recent visit to
Denmark most of the members of the royal
party at Bernstein visited Roskilde Cath
edral on the anniversary day of the death
of the late Queen Of Denmark The coffin
is covered with wreaths, and the one sent
by Queen Victoria few years ago. though
withered is still kept with the others which
cover the coffin.

scented a most attractive appearance. There
was a large crowd present. Those In at
tendance at each booth were costumed ap-
propriately for the day represented, and the
Santa Claus for the Christmas booth, the

birthday anniversary booth and the Liberty
and Independence of the Fourth of July
booth were among the most noticeable and
attractive of the costumes.

Of the committee to purchase their CHRIST
mas presents of the bazaar, and good
business was done by all the booths. Many
valuable articles have been donated, and

ANTHRACITE MONOPOLY
CHARGED BY ATTORNEYS FOR
THE MINERS.
Profits of the Mines Absorbed by
Exorbitant Charges of
the Railroads.

A dispatch from Scranton, Pa, last night
says: The mine workers, after occupying
nineteen days in presenting about 160 wit
nesses, practically closed their case before
the anthracite coal strike commission late
this afternoon. The afternoon session was
one of the most important sittings the COM
mission has yet held, because the question
of whether the close relationship of coal
carrying railroads with the mining COM
panfes shall figure In the commissions
effort to adjust the controversy, came
squarely before the arbitrator. The de-
cision of the commission, If Chairman
Gray's remarks can be so called, was briefly
this:
That the commission, In a general way, is
averse to widening the scope of the investi-
cation beyond the terms of the submissions
Of the miners and the operators; that In
carrying on the investigation 1t assumes
the coal companies can afford to pay falr
wages; that if the coal companies, in pre-
senting their side Of the case, maintain they
cannot afford to give an Increase in wages,
then the commission will hear what the
miners have to say on the ability of the
companies to do so, and that If business
cannot pay fair wages the employer ought
to get out of 1t.
These points were brought out during the
two hours consumed by the miners law
yers reading documentary evidences, to the
whole or which the companies entered Spe-
cific and general objections.
The mine workers depend a great deal on
the evidence they had to present to show
that the coal-carrying railroads control the
coal companies, and that the railroads
charge eXorbitant and discriminating
freight rates, thus greatly decreasing the
revenues of the mining properties. The
miners wanted to present this evidence in
documentary form, but as objection was
made to it and sustained by the commission
with the above rulings, the matter was not
pressed.
Miners Attorneys Satisfied.
Clarence S. Darrow and Henry D. Lloyd,
representing the miners. said, after the ad-
journment, hatthey are well satisfied with
the attitude of the commission, and will
fight out the matter along the lines indi-
Gated by the commission.
The early part Of the afternoon session
was taken up in hearing the testimony OF
the remaining witnesses, who are, or have
been, in the employ Of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company, after
which Mr.. Darrow announced the close OF
his case, excepting that he would call one
witness tomorrow on matter entirely
different from anything that has been Of
fered. For the remainder of the afternoon,
he said he wanted to present documentary
evidence showing the relationship between
the railroads and the companies and numer-
Gus other matters pertaining to the anthra-
cite coal industry. Continuing, he said:
1T will also present table showing the
fluctuations in the anthracite industry as
