ARCHITECT SELECTED
CONSTRUCTION OF CATHEDRAL
OF sTs. PETER AND PAUL.
Chapter Considers Designs and
Chooses That Of Messrs. Vaughan
and Bodley.

At a meeting Of the Chapter Of the
Cathedral OF st. Peter and st. Paul held
last May tt was decided, first, that the
architectural style Of the cathedral should
be Gothic. and that. second. in the selec-
ton of an architect the wiser course would
be to have no competition, but to select
the man instead Of the plan. According
ly. during the summer the chapter has
had before it many designs Of Gothic
churches that have been actually built by
different architects in America and in Eng
land. and after a very careful considera-
ton Messrs. Henry Vaughan Of Boston
and George F. Bodley, r. A. Of England
were unanimously chosen to prepare
design for Washington Cathedral.
Mr.. Vaughan has made Gothic archi-
lecture the study Of his life. and has
built some Of the most beautiful churches
in America. Among these none surpass
the chapels Of st. Paurs School, Concord
and the Croton School. in Massachusetts,
as the acknowledged head Of English
Gothic architects. He, with Gilbert F.
Scott. is erecting the new cathedral In
Liverpool. which, when completed. will be
the largest in England, and he has been
for years the architect in charge OF York
minister.
Messrs. Vaughan and Bodley have ar
ranged to come to Washington at an early
day and study the cathedral site In al Its
aspects Their chief aim will be to adapt
the cathedral to the site and to catch the
spirit Of the old Gothic builders with such
adaptations as modern needs may render
desirable.
They feel that this is a great opportunity
to show the world that the ancient dignity
and beauty Of religious Christian ARCHITECT
ture can be achieved in these days. Gothic
architecture with all its acceptance OF the
beauty of nature as its basis and its added
spiritual aspiring fervor can do all this.
The limitation of possibilities must OF
course. be taken into account, and GER
tain amount Of modern character must be
made to play its part, but that need not
be to the detriment OF real grandeur and
beauty and religious feeling. And 1t Is the
united hope Of the architects and chapter
that the Cathedral of st. Peter and st.
Paul. when it is built, will be a house of
prayer which will not only stand in the
capital of the country as a witness of the
triumph of the Christian faith and YER
table Apostles Greed in stone, but that 1t
will evoke in the breasts of all who visit
1t the same kind of devotional feeling that
our American travellers express when they
enter the doors Of the great Gothic cathe-
drals Of Europe

SENATOR DUBOIS EXPLAINS.
He Tells President About the Cam.
paign in Idaho,

BOISE, Idaho. October 3O.-ImmedIately
upon publication of the Associated Press
dispatch to the effect that Secretary of War
Taft would make two campaign speeches
in Idaho United States Senator Dubois sent
a dispatch to President Roosevelt, in which
he said:
Press dispatches say you are sending
Secretary Taft to Boise. Idaho. to speak for
Gov. Gooding in behalf of law and order,
and on account OF the character Of the cam
paign being made against him. If this Is
true you are entirely misinformed No law
and order campaign Is being waged in
Idaho. The sole issue Is against the domi-
nation Of the Mormon Church in our poll
tics. The only question discussed by lead
ers of both parties Is the Mormon question
The attitude of Gov. Gooding in regard to
what is called law and order is not an issue.
I assure. you that you have been misin-
formed and that 1t will be understood that
Secretary Taft will be sent here to speak
in behalf Of Mormonism, that is the sole
issue in the Idaho campaign. You can call
on the United States district judge, marshal,
attorney or any other federal official to YER
ify my statement that the only issue dis
cussed is Mormonism. Law and order is not
mentioned in connection with the we'll
known fact that the polygamous Mormons
are violating both"

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, October 3O.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance Of
11a13 points, which was hardly full re-
Spouse to the cables. There was consider
able buying by Liverpool houses and cover
ing Of shorts. but some of the recent heavy
sellers continued to oppose the market, and
the big receipts and better weather than
apprehended checked buying for fresh ac-
count. Fluctuations consequently were
narrow and irregular, and the market dur
ing the early session held pretty close to
the opening figures. Killing frost was re-
ported at Oklahoma and light frost at
Macon. No precipitation was reported, but
the weather was partly cloudy to cloudy
over most of the south.
The prospect for continued cold weather
over the western and eastern belt tomor-
row checked offerings during the morning.
and the market at midday was firm and
about IL to 10 points net higher.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Some suggestions in regard to the value
of the rights In the case of the stock Of
the Union Trust Company were made at
the meeting OF the stock exchange today.
The announcement was made by the pres
ident Of the company that after the close
Of business tomorrow the stock would be
ex-rights. as that Is the time fixed for the
expiration Of the right Of stockholders to
indicate their intention to subscribe for
their allotment of the new issue.
One of the brokers made bid OF l4O
for ten shares ex-rights, and while the
rights cannot be dealt in on the exchange
until after the date mentioned. another
broker bought a similar lot which was TOT
sale at $50 with rights. and he then mott
fed the first broker that he would sell ten
shares ex-rights at 14O. His oner Was
accepted, but 1t was q private transaction
and no record was made Of 1t.
Another ten-share lot sold for 1491i, ana
at the close the stock was to be had at 1oo
with 1471s bid. It might be concluded from
this circumstance that the rights adherlne
to each share Of the stock are valued at
about $40.
A couple Of bids of 80 and 3S1h for the
common stock OF the Washington Railway
and Electric Company brought out the
stock, but it was evident that no more was
wanted, as the bid receded to BIN.
The trading in the preferred stock of the
company was confined to few iots at
S7H and an eighth lower, the purchaser
Of at least one Of these lots selling an OPP
ton at SO. The asking price at the close
was S7x, with no effort made to ma out
how much could be had at that inquire:
There was some trading in Mitchell Min
ing at 8, but at the close the asking price
and the bid was an eighth above and elghth
below that level.

AMERIcus FIRM HAS CONTRACT
To Erect Costly Shaft in State Of
Florida.

Probably the largest monum snt ever
erected in Florida is to be built and
erected by Clark's Monumental Works
of this city. This monument was sold
to Mr.. George Lewis prominent banL-
er of Tallahassee, Fla. and is to be
erected over the grave of the late
Judge Westcott. Mr.. CLARK, the pro-
prietor of the above firm closed the
contract for this monument several
weeks ago. Mr.. CLARK won over strong
competition at Jacksonville and other
points, but had no trouble In securing
the order on account of the superiority
of his design over his competitors and
being able to execute heavy and high
grade work, which he caters to. This
monument was sold for So, 900 and will
take several months to build and erect.
If you wish to buy any kind of cemetery
work he can supply you with high
grade work at the same price you
would pay others for poorer grade.
Mr.. Clark also has extensive work
going on at Anderson vile, Ga and
his pay roll amounts to $500 per week,
which is spent in and about Americas.
The public should encourage an up to
date enterprise of this kind, as it is
now the largest in middle or south
Georgia. If not the largestin the state.
