Americans who are coming to Eng
land this year and intend visiting Can
terbury will be disappointed to hear
that builders have just begun to sur
round the central tower OF the Ia
nous cathedral with huge scanolo-
ing by which its beauties will be COM
pletely hidden for probably many
months to come. The temporary dis
figurement Is necessitated by the un-
sound condition of this portion OF the
structure, which has made its restora-
ton imperative lest the tower should
share the fate of Venice's Campanile
Historically known as the Bell
Harry" tower, this browning achieve
ment of Canterbury's architect Is COM
monty regarded as the finest example
of the perpendicular style Of church
architecture in England, although the
name of its designer has not been
handed down to posterity. Its con-
struction was begun in 1472, and It
replaced former tower called the
angel Steeple," a name bestowed on
it because Of the gilded cherubim who
was perchedson the pinnacle. 1t Is 235

Gen. Gordon's "reminiscences.

Gen. Gordon's experiences are
graphically set forth in his "Reminis-
cences of the Civil War" He was
mining coal in the mountains OF three
states-Georgia, Tennessee and Ala
bama-when the war came, and ne
raised a company of volunteers. They
wore coonskin caps and were called
the Raccoon Roughs, and became
famous.
"Once in camp we kept the wires
hot with kilograms to governors OF
other states, imploring them to give
!us a chance. Gov. Moore of Alabama
finally responded, graciously consent
ing to incorporate the captain OF the
tRaccoon Roughs' and his coon capped
company into one Of the regiments
soon to be organized.
"The reading Of this telegram
evoked from my men the first wild
rebel yell it was my fortune to hear
Even then it was weird and thrilling.
Though all the stages of my suDse-
uuent promotions and in all the bat
ties in which was engaged this same
exhilarating shout from these same
trumpet-like throats rang in my ears,
growing fainter and fainter as these
heroic men became fewer and fewer
at the end of each bloody days work;
and when the last hour OF war came,
in the last desperate charge at Apo
mattox, the few and broken remnants
/ of the Raccoon Roughs were still near
their first captains side, cheering him
with the dying echoes OF that hrst
yell in the Atlanta camp"
In his account of the beginning OF
the Bull Run engagement Gen. Cor
don says of Gen. Ewell, the Indian
fighter, who at the last moment went
over to the confederacy: HE became
a pious man in his later years, but al
this time he was not choice in his
manner of expressing himself. He
asked me to take hearty breakfast
with him just before he expected the
order from Beauregard to ford Bull
Run and rush upon McDowelps left.
ellis verbal invitation was in these
words: Come and eat cracker will
me. We will breakfast together herr
and dine together in hell To youn'
officer like myself, who had neve
been under fire except at long range
on scouting excursions, or on the skir
mish line, such an invitation was no
inspiring or appetizing, but Ewell'
shirts seemed to be in futter o
exultation.
IAN hour later, after l had been re
| called from my perilous movemen
to feel of the enemy, l found Ger

TEST 3 CENT FARE.
Cleveland Car Company Will
Give Cheap Rides Trial.

Cleveland. O., Jan. 1S.-Directors of
the Clevland Electric railway refused
to ratify the proposition of Mayor Tom
Johnson and the city council to estab-
fish cent fares on it's lines.
The company claims the cent zone
is too large, but expresses it's willing
ness to make a 80 days test of the new
plan, and if it proves satisfactory will
then negotiate with the city for a 20
years extension of it's franchise.
President Andrews of the company
states that this experiment is the most
important innovation ever introduced
in American street railway transporta-
ton and the company is without pre-
cedent to guide it in its negotiation,
and that therefore it would be folly to
tie up an investment of $25,000,000 for
20 years without ar ample preliminary
test of the conditions under which it is
proposed the extension for that length
of time shall be made.
