Thomas and the Beauties of the New Cathedral

New York, Sept. 16.-The recent
fire which left only the Gothic tower
aud empty shell and st. Thomas's
church standing, on Fifth avenue, le
stroyed one of the best-known re-
ligious edifices in this city. The I'M

historical mob of jressmakers fought
with each other and the police for a
glimpse of the British peer and the
brides dress But st. 4homas's had
worthier claims than Ilis to its dis
tinctive position. The richness of the
interior, the mural paintings and otner
decorations by John La Fargo in the
chancel, the bronze reredos by st.

COL. HosklNs DIES SUDDENLY.
Prominent Resident ct Fond du Lao
Succunnhs ).

Fond du Lac, Wis, Sept. 20-Col.
Frank B. Hoslzins is dead Appendi-
citis caused dissolution at midnight,
after Col Hoskins, one of the most
prominent men of Fond du Lac and
well known throughout the state, had
been seriously i'll less than twenty
four hours.
Col. Hoskins was SIS yea s old. He
hal lived here all his life, and evil
dence of public opinion upon his con-
duct and character is expressed by
the universal sorrow here, by the fact
that all over the city flags are at half
mast, and by the scores of messages
of regret received within few hours
after the end.
Saturday evening, he began to com,
plain ana passed a restless night.
Sunday Dr. L. A. Bishop was caleb
and later In the day col. Hoskins was
much improved. Monday morning he
began failing and DR.. Bishop held q
consultation with DR.. F. s. Wyley.
They reported his condition critical
and at noon DR.. Sears, Chicago spe>
cialist, was called to come.
Col Hoskins failed rapidly after
this, and just as the train bearing the
Chicago doctor pulled into the North
western station, and when the court
house clock struck the hour of mid
night, death came.

coming into attend to his duties much
as the business man comes to his
office from his home in the suburbs
Just where Broadway bends off to
the west, marking the line between
the wholesale business section of that
great thoroughfare and the shopping
district that stretches away to The
north, the spire of Grace church
stands out as Trinity does at the
head of Wall street. Set well back
from the street and separated from IT
by a hedge and that rarese. of all
sights in crowded New York, a lawn
and flower beds, the Gothic rectory.
connected by stone passage with the
church, is a striking termination to
the miles of modern sky-scrapers and
old fashioned, dingy Offices thai. line
Broadway between it and Trinity.
Grace church, however, has not met
the fate of the older structure, for in
the district in which 1t stands the en-
croachments of business have left
many quiet residential sections. with
more of the flavor of the New York OF
the past than is met with elsewhere.

the best known scenes in the play take
place outside of Grace church and TO
reproduce upon the stage picture
familiar to every New Yorker.
At all times of the day. Grace
church and rectory form a vivid con.
trast to their surroundings, but it is
IN the late foreI 0on that this contrast
Is seen at it's best. Then the lawn is
turned over to the children from the
day nursery connected with the
parish. While the wards in their
white dresses are playing on the grass
or marching up and down the walks
with their blue-uniformed nurses. the
fence that shuts them OF from crowd
ed Broadway is lined with spectators
who have found time TO watch az
pretty a spectacle as Is to be found
in the city. Ten hours earlier, Just
across the street one can see the
other side Of New York life-a lone
line of homeless men waiting for the
midnight meal of coffee and bread
distributed by well-known bakery on
the corner.
Around the cathedral VIII stand In
time the bishops residence. the synod
house, the deaconess institution ana
the other supplementary buildings Of
a great diocese. Just as the various
buildings and nails Of Columbia uni

grouped around the library-at the

most beautiful building in New York.

artists in a city commonly supposed
to have Idle to appeal 20 them.
To the few New forkers, however,
who know their city as Dickens knew
his London or SEQ his Edinburgh,
st. Thomas's was only one of several
churches as interesting in tneir way
TO the American sightseer as many of
the celebrated structures of Europe.
Up on Morningside Heights, on the
plateau. which has more than once
been described as the Acropolis OF
New York, the great Cathedral OF ST.
the new world what St PauPs OF
Notre Dame de Paris is in the old
world, and here and there through tle
city are smaller churches as closely
associate with the life of New York
as the Round Church of the Temple or
Sainte Chapelle.
When the hands of the big clock on
Trinity church spire stopped the
whole world of Wall street, from
magnate to Office boy, received a dis
'inct shock, for ever since there mas
bed a financial district at all the OLE
clock has sent its innumerable toners
their way. Blocking g narrow can
yon OF Wall street, Trinity church,
surrounded by its historical tombs
and spreading trees, Is to the busiest
section of New York what st. PauI's
church yard is to the CITY" of Lon.
don. Perhaps, however, the CONTRAST
in New York is even more striking,
for while our conservative cousins
across the Atlantic have not permitted
the demands of business TO sweep
away all the landmara, of old Lon.
don, in lower New York it is hard to
find any memorials of the city'g youth.
That Trinity yard has successfully
maintained itself intact through a cen.
fury of transformation all around it is
largely due to the firmness of the trus.
tees of the great corporation, the
largest church corporation in the
world Some years ago, when the
reins of municipal authority were in
the hands Of men little given to senti-
ment, it was decided that a church
yard had no place in the financial
world and that Wall street should be
extended on the other side of Broa.l-
way through the yard. The trustees,
however, lid not see the advantages
of this scheme. The laws of New
York provide that no public mopn.
ment shall be destroyed by the open
ing Of any highway. While the en-.
gineers were drawing up the plans for
the new street. a granite monument
