Daughters of the Republic of Texas have
undertaken to raise the money to make
the payments. 1t is the purpose Of the
organization to convert the Alamo into

Texas history, art and sculpture. The
upper stories of the famous old structure
in which the Texans Of the early days
fought to the last man against the at

contain the art galleries, while the lower
stories will be filled with the historical
relics of Texas and the volumes Of her

the men who helped steer the ship OF
state over the shoals.
When the Daughters of the Republic OF
Texas shall have saved the Alamo it is
their intention to continue their work
along the same lines. The San Jose mis-
sion, at San Antonio, will also be re-
claimed as soon as the women, who are
working nobly in the cause, are able to
get around to it.

casion was the celebrated Dominican
orator, Father Thomas Burke, famous
for his lectures and sermons all over
the world.
After the death Of DR. McGettigan, in
1887, Mgr. Logue. who had been coadju-
tor few months previously, succeeded
him and set to work to pay off the
heavy debt left by his predecessor and
finish the building, whose interior dec
orations were of such flimsy character
that he ordered them entirely renewed,
importing the best ecclesiastical art
works from Italy and France. In 1893
he was made cardinal by the late
pope, and this additional dignity en-
abled him to raise successfully the large
sum needed for the work.
1t was not, however, till the close OF
the year 1899 that his eminence, judg-
ing the time ripe for further efforts,
issued pastoral letter on the ma
tional cathedral" addressed to all the
churches in Ireland, and was enabled to
start the famous and popular National
Cathedral bazar, which lasted two
years, and which raised immense sums
toward the work of finishing the build
ing.
In 1891 the cathedral was closed to
worshipers and the decoration of the
interior was pushed rapidly along until
the present time, when it was decided
to proceed to the solemn conservation Of
the building on the very day on which
occurred the silver jubilee of the car
dinal primate's episcopal conservation.
At first the clergy and laity of the
archdiocese intended to celebrate the
jubilee by offering a large sum of
money to their beloved prelate, but his
eminence declined to accept any per-
sonal offering as long as the cathedral
was still in debt, so it was resolved to
raise the required sum of more than
500, 900 and remove the last impediment
to the conservation of the temple.
It was principally through the untir-
ing efforts of Rev. John Quinn, now
canon Of Magherafelt, and Of his sue
cessor, Rev. Michael Quinn, the pres
ent administrator, that much Of the
money wa raised. For four years the
work Of completing and decorating the
interior has been in progress under the
supervision and in accordance with the
plans of the most eminent architects of
Ireland. The most skilled artists have
been employed in the work with such
success that the perfection of the affairs,
mosaics, screens, pulpit and organ has
evoked the admiration of even the most
critical visitors. The total cost of the
building is placed at 100000, or 81, $780,
600, which have been collected all over
the world.

In little vine-clad house near Way

whose fortune at the time of his death
was estimated at $60, 1000, 900. Her name

years.
In the meantime the young woman
had married and she and her husband
were engaged in missionary work
throughout the country.
Starting eastward from Denver they
made their way over the endless plains,

she was an heiress to millions. Neither
would she have cared, so long as there

she seems to think of nothing but her

STRONGHOLD OF A HERMIT.
An English Farmer Being Tilted Seeks
Seclusion from the Eyes Of
Mankind.

For 10 years James Mason, farmer
who formerly kept stock and worked his
land, as any other agriculturist, has cut
himself of from all human intercourse,
says the London Daily Mail. He lives
in cave in the midst of three acres of
woodland at Great Garfield. on the east
| ern border of Eessex.
The cause of this strange conduct was
an unfortunate love affair. Thirteen
years ago. when man Of 40. he was
fitted by the 17-year-old daughter of q
neighboring farmer. Mason thereupon
vowed that he would never again gaze
upon woman's face.
He left his home, disposed of part Of
his land, and took up his abode on por-
ton Of his holding. which adjoins the
old Epping forest.
Around this he dug dyke IL feet deep
and IL feet wide. He planted thick
hedge round-a hedge which has now at
tanned an enormous height, and lined 1t
with rows of barbed wire.
Here, completely screened and pro-
tected from all fear OF prying eyes, he
has passed 10 lonely years, and during
this time only two human beings have
ever caught glimpse of the hermit.
| One was the village postman, who, go
ing his rounds in the early morning,
for moment saw Withholding man
who, as he. afterward said, dropped to
the ground as though he had been shot"
The other was woodman who, eight
years ago, was greatly alarmed at seeing
4, Wild, bearded face glazing at him
through hole in the hedge.
No one in the locality has ever dared
to penetrate the hedge, for the beliefs
firmly implanted In the villagers that
tbs wild man." as he Is called, carries
arms, and would not scruple to use them
If any attempt to invade his privacy
were made.
1t is generally believed that the hermit
sleeps all day and works at night, for at
late hours belated wayfarers have re-
ported noises from behind the ,impene-
trable hedge.
