Building Now Yorzz's Great Cathedras
The Cathedral Of st. John the Divine,
which is in course of construction on
Morningside heights, New York city, is
making gradual progress toward COM
pletion, says Harper's Weekly. One Of
the most difficult problems the con-
tractors have to deal with has been the
moving of the immense pillars for the
interior of the cathedral up the hill on
which the building stands. The pillars
are In four sections, weighing from for,
ty to ninety tons each. AS it was found
that at least thirty horses would be re-
Quired to move them, 1t was decided to
use steam. With the aid Of steel ca
bic and traction engine huge truck
bearing the columns was hauled to the
top of the hill Several days were re-
u,1ired to move each section. ~

PARTS OF THE STATE.
Congressman Marshall Suggests Meth
cd Of Establishing More Rural
Free Delivery Routes In
North Dakota.

CONGRESSMAN Marshall is trying to
get ahead Of Mr.. Bristow, the fourtn
assistant to Postmaster General Payne.
The ruling of the department that no
free rural route would be established
unless serving at least 100 families,
effectually tied up sixty or seventy pc
titions duly presented to the depart
ment through the congressman. Some
time ago he wrote Mr.. Bristow sug-
gesting that in cases where two routes
were asked for, and neither having the
required number Of families, an every
other-day service be provided over
each. the same carrier to carry the
mails on both routes. Mr.. Br1stoW
acknowledged the receipt Of the letter
and stated that the suggestion was or
so much Importance that it had been
referred to the postmaster general him.
self. Nothing has yet been heard from
the latter, but when the opportunity
presents itself the matter will be
pressed by Mr.. Marchall and it Is be-
lieved with fair prospect OF success.
The service suggested by Mr.. Mar
shall would be a sort of star route
service and more persons would pc
benefited by it than under the lOo-
family plan. Every route would nave
from fifty to seventy-ive families and
as the country settles up the list would
steadily grow. The farmers would be
satisfied, for they would get their mail
every other day and have it brought
to their doors, and, besides, there
would be the certainty that In a short
time, by reason of new immigration
and settlement, their routes would
soon have 100 families for patrons and
that a daily service would then In all
probability be established. Before this
point was reached there would be no
decrease, but rather an increase, In
revenue for the government. and the
law would be doing just what it was
devised to do. serving the largest num-
Der Of patrons at the minimum OF ex-
penSe.

There are to be no serious compli-
cations on account of the Venezuelan
controversy. That fact seems to be
pretty well settled now. The prelimi-
nary procotols, under which Venezue-
la agrees to pay to Germany. Great
Britain and Italy the respective
amounts demanded by each-$16O, 600
for the first and $4,000 for each Of the
other two-were signed last Friday.
Andrew Carnegie and other rich Amer
leans offered to put up the money de-
manded by Germany; but Minister
Bowen had already been provided with
the necessary funds and had no need
to accept aid from individuals. Short
ly after the signing Of the protocols
the blockading squadrons In Venezue-
Ian waters were ordered to withdraw,
and the ships that were waiting in
various ports with cargoes for Vene-
zuela set sail. Gables from Venezuela
say that so soon as the blockade was
raised, President Castro started his
armies against the Revolutionists in
various parts Of the republic, and an
nounces his intention to prosecute the
war until peace Is restored. President
Castro has sent a cable to Minister
Bowen expressing the warmest thanks
for the part he has played in behalf of
Venezuela. The next step so far as
Venezuela and the. other powers are
concerned will be the hearing Of the
dispute upon its merits before The
Hague tribunal; but no trouble Is ex-
pected to come Of that.

has gone through one or both branch
es Of congress. Mr.. Hobson alleges
according to friends, that when he first
sought retirement he asked Represen-
tative Bankhead, Of his district, to Of
fer a bill to this effect, but it is said
Mr.. Bankhead declined. 1t was stated
that Captain Hobson already had in
timated his desire to run for congress
from Mr.. Bankhead's district. Hob
sons friends say he asked others to in
troduce the bill, which finally was
presented by Republican and refer
red to the naval affairs committee.
A member Of the Alabama delegation
said: "Hobson has discussed the whole
question with me. He is willing to be-
gin at the bottom. If necessary, he
will run for the state legislature in
Alabama. He wants, however, to be-
gin, if possible. in the house Of rep
resentatives. He desires next to get
to the senate, and thinks that if op-
portunity is offered he can secure the
presidency. No encouragement to his
ambition Is offered by his friends.
They are anxious to see him succeed.
I think he will do this, to certain
extent at least"

Moonshine In Cherokee.
spartanburg special Of February H.
to the Charlotte Observer: State Con-
stables Gideon and Howe, together
with Deputy Marshal McClain, went
into Cherokee county yesterday on
hunt for contraband whisky. At Ar
rowwood church the officers came up
on a distillery in active operation and
fired but a few minutes before. The
copper distillery, eighty gallons ca
pacity, was seized and fourteen
fermenters, 10000 gallons Of beer
and six gallons Of low wine were
also taken The moonshiners had
exercised good headwork in arranging
the location of their plant. The officers
described 1t as being. in a pitfaH under
siderable length water was. conveyed
to the plant from q neighboring stream
and return pipe carried the water
away from the plant after 1t had been
used in the operations. No arrests
were made.
Another Big Power Dam.
Union special of February IA to the
News and Courier: Another mammoth
industry for Union is soon to be estab-
lished. The famous Neal Shoals, on
to be developed. Some six months ago
Colonel T. c. Duncan had his survey
ors make a survey on the quiet and
report to him. After carefully consid-
ering the matter he decided to erect a
large power plant at this place for the
purpose Of generating electric power
for Union and other nearby towns. He
secured the rights along the river for
twelve miles above the dam, and then
had a bill introduced in the legislature
to prevent the erection Of a great dam
across the river. In the meantime he
and others organized the Union Manu-
formation regarding the big project
has been held back until it was known
whether or not the right to build the
dam would be granted. This having
been done the only obstacle in the way
has been removed and the work will
soon begin. Having the right to back
water twelve miles up the river, the
dam will probably be built from hill to
hill, so as to be able to utilize the full
strength of this great stream. A great
lake will thus be formed, giving q
power too great to calculate. This
plant will throw in the shade anything
ever attempted in this part Of the
state. The primary object Is to fur
nish electric power to run the Union
Mills, with the prospect of furnishing
power for all. surrounding towns, in
cluding Carlisle, Jonesville and Ches-
ter. Power enough can be generated
here to supply every industry, great
and small, in Union and the other
nearby towns, which are now in opera
tion or will probably be put in opera
tion in the next half century.

PRESCRIPTIONS

q ONE Druggists can fill some Pre-
- scriptions, some druggists can fill
most Prescriptions, but few druggists
can fill just any Prescription. We are
in the latter class. We can fill the
most difficult Prescription. When your
physician gives you a Prescription, no
matter how simple or how difficult 1t
may be, you centainly want the Pre-
scription' to be carefully compounded.
That is natural. Such being the case
you will bring it to us-that is COM
mon sense. Our DR.. w. L. McCarty is
a graduate in pharmacy and Is an ex-
pert in compounding difficult Prescrip-
tions. Mr.. Starr has an experience Of
many years along the same line. II

your Prescriptions, and (there should
not be) bring it to US. We only use
pure and fresh drugs and chemicals.
