to leave them as they We're last year.
The assessor will carry the matter to

The advance on other property amounts

The county division question has been

Now More Assured Than Ever-Name
of Giver Of $50, 900
Secret.

If all goes well-and there is every reason
to think 1t will--the debt on the foundation
Of the Washington Protestant Episcopal
Cathedral, amounting to some 100000, will
be paid by Thanksgiving day. The benefactor,
who, as announced in The Star Thursday
of this week, has offered to contribute $780,
600 toward the foundation, stipulated that
the debt must be reduced to that amount by
next Thursday to make her offer good. Eff
forts are now being made to secure the re-
manning $4,000 in order to get the large
amount mentioned
The generous Washingtonian who has
stepped in and aided the cathedral move
ment at an important time does not wish
her name to be given to the public as yet,
and Bishop Henry Y. Satterlee of the do
cese of Washington is abiding by her wishes.
The idea of a great national Protestant
Episcopal Cathedral at st. Adams, D. c.,
has been fostered by Bishop Satterlee ever
since he became bishop Of the diocese. The
present advance state of the plans has
been brought about by his efforts, which
have been practically untiring in behalf of
the cause. The cathedral close is one of
the most beautiful spots in the District of
Columbia, and already there are number
of ornamental buildings upon it. all of
which were built with the cathedral idea in
view.

Ills this lesson legitimately on the SUBJ

Answer.-Strictly speaking It is not. But

18.-Was Ezra a fanatic? Is his example
a good one for Christians? Is not Nehe-
miah better example?
Answer.-Ezra and Nehemiah were both
men of high character, worthy of study and
imitation. One was religious teacher, the
other statesman. 1t is hardly proper to
compare them.
19.-What became of the ark of the COW

Nebuchadnezzar?
Answer-No one knows. The last BibN-
cal mention of the ark is in the time Of
Josiah. Chr. xxxv, 80 Most scholars be-

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, November 25.-The bishop of
London's denunciation of the drinking hab-
its of Oxford undergraduates does not meet
with much sympathy from the dons of that
university. It is admitted that there is a
certain amount of excessive drinking
among the students, but 1t Is denied that
shows any tendency to increase.
Interviewed. the dean of Corpus Christi
College said that after twenty years of uni
versity life he could say that he had never
known of any case of systematic drunken
ness being developed as the outcome of an
Oxford education.
MY own opinion is that the general situ-
alton is distinctly better than 1t was fifteen
years ago. he added.

animal spirits to act like the .well-behaved
young ladies of a convent.
This don declared that at present drink
ing was on the Wane at Oxford, and added
that the general morals of the students
would compare favorably with those of the
London medical students.
II would suggest he said, that the
bishop be challenged to produce the evil
dence on which he made his sweeping
statements.

vor of the view that drinking Is declining

named entered into immortal life. In the
Cathedral of Washington there Is an asso.
citation far more hallowed. The chancel
will face the east at that point where the
sun rises, according to the most ancient
traditions, on the day of the ascension OF
Christ. Those who are familiar with the
contour of the cathedral grounds will see at
a glance that in this position the west front
or facade faces the juncture of Massachu-
sets and Wisconsin avenues. The cathe-
dral will stand where the ground IS com
paratively level, and will occupy site
where its majestic proportions and architec-
tural features present quarterlng view,
which will be seen most advantageousiy
from the city. 1t is interesting to note IN
this connection that Ascension day has al
ready been marked by many hallowed asso-
Citations with the Cathedral of Washington.
Among the closing scenes of the late gen.
eral convention, October, 1898, none was
more striking than the raising of the peace

Episcopal Cathedral on st. Adams Hill. 1t

and the clergy occupied as many more. The
President of the United States and many
high officials had seats reserved in the CEN

to the platform and took their seats. Then

At the close of the Presidents address,

owner of the site. pulled gently the cord
that held the enveloping flag. and it's folds

Value Of Property.
The total value of the land upon which
the cathedral Is to be built is s291 600.
With the improvements on the property
it is worth nearly 100000.
Efforts have been strenuously put forth
for several years to lift the debt on the
foundation SO that plans for the actual
building might be considered book of
remembrance Is kept in which the names
of contributors are placed. This will soon
be closed, and it is believed that many
will wish to have their names entered upon
it.
AS for the building of the cathedral It
self, while steps will undoubtedly be taken
before next spring for the plans and the
selection of the architect the bishop is
not prepared to say much upon this subject

This sign over the door in the Smithsonian

Langley, secretary of the institution, had 1t

the institution, while of rare interest to
scientific minds, were utterly beyond the
comprehension of a child, SO he set apart
one little spot and filled it with curious and
pretty specimens that boys and girls could
understand and enjoy.
He selected a sunny room facing the en-

and an aquarium in the middle of the floor.
On closer inspection there are dainty COL

Canterbury having addressed multitude of
people there during his recent visit to this
country and carried back news of the Ell
terprise of the bishop of Washington to old
England.
The idea of Protestant Episcopal Cathe-
dral at the capital of the United States
dates back to the earlier part of the nine
tenth century, and the hallowed traditions
connected with the present cathedral site In
coming centuries, If the world lasts so long,
will be as beautiful as those connected with
the majority of European cathedrals, and
they are certainly far more authentic.
The site purchased for the Cathedral OF
SS. Peter and Paul (the correct name) Is
tract of over forty acres, beautifully wood
ed with oaks and other forest trees. on the
brow OF hill nearly 400 feet above the
level of lower Pennsylvania avenue 1t cuts
against the western sky seen from all
parts of Washington. 1t stands moreover
at the junction of Massachusetts avenue,
the longest street of the city, and George
town avenue. The situation Is in the future
center of population by consent of those
best informed as to the eity's growth. 1t
takes its name from the little church built
fifty years ago, the history of which five
centuries hence will become a. hallowed ira
dition.
Owned by Joseph Nourse.
The land originally belonged to Joseph
Nourse, first registrar of the treasury un-
der President Washington At several times
in its history the property would have be-
come the site of private residence and
been lost forever to divine uses had not the
little church stood In the way, keeping the
ground for the cathedral in unconscious full
fi1lment of the prophetic text used at the
conservation service Of the church, "the
place wherein thou standest is holy
ground" The purchase of this land was
celebrated by the unwilling of the peace
cross, erected to mark the foundation Of
the cathedral
After the cathedral land was bought
commission was appointed by the trustees
to consider the site of the Cathedral School,
donated by Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, and
where 1t was to be placed. This involved.
Of course, the position of the future cathe-
dral itself. After the report was made 1t
was discussed by the board of trustees, and
the general decision was reached that the
cathedral should stand on the southern part
of the Cathedral Close, where the ground
descends In steep slopes toward the city.
II has been a memorable custom in the
churches of the Anglican communion to
build them with the chancels toward the
