WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL.

The altar consists Of a huge block
of Cornwall gray granite, unpublished,
but fine axed. 1t is twelve feet long
and four feet wide, without any gra-
dus-the six great candlesticks, with
a crucifx of corresponding size, stand
ing alone upon it, as at St. Peters
in Rome, in perfect simplicity.
The baldachino, on the other hand,
is a gorgeous piece Of work on which
no labor or expense has been spared.
1t consists entirely of marble, deco
rated lavishly with lapis lazuH and
mother of pearl. 1t is supported on
eight great pillars of yellow Yeron-
csc marble. The pillars are triumphs
of quarrying. Nothing Of the kind
has ever been attempted before and
it was doubtful whether columns of
such proportions could be produced
in single pieces. They rest upon
handsome plinths of verde antico in
set with panels Of purple brescia. At
the top of the pillars magnificent capt.
tails of white marble support a perfect
marble canopy. The platform beside
the altar and the steps leading to
the core" are beautifully inlaid with
panels of brescia.
But no description or photograph or
drawing can convey an idea of the
wonderful flood Of irridescent light
which is reflected from the altar when
fully Illuminated. The baldachino
was intended by the architect to be
the jewel of the cathedral, and his aim
has been realized. The brilMance of
the effect is, of course, heightened by
the sombre color of the brick walls
around and the vastness of the cathe-
dral. The baldachino is forty feet in
height or as high as an ordinary three
| story house, but Is nevertheless in
perfect proportion and harmony with
| the great building. 1t will serve also
| to indicate TO those who cannot hope
! to see the completion of the cathedral
| what a magnificent place it viii be
when it is finished.-London Tribune

West Indies, and his name was David
Levy, by which name he was known
when he was elected member of the
house of representatives in 1S41. The

FITZGERALD BEATS
HIS COMPETITORS
Ships the First Carload of
Denatured Alcohol Into
Chicago.

John E. Fitzgerald, president of the
Hammond Distilling company, has just
succeeded in a coup on the other dis
tillers in the west by getting the first
carload of denatured alcohol into Chi
cago.
The others had begun building their
plants weeks before Mr.. Fitzgerald
but he rushed the work on his build
ings, and after bringing an expert out
from Chicago TO analyze his product,
he was able to ship a carload of the
alcohol to Chicago before any of his
competitors.
AS a result all of the manufacturers
who have been eagerly waiting for the
first shipments of the denatured alco-
hol, We're compelled to look to the
Hammond distiller for it.
The Hammond Distilling company
has since been deIuged with orders, as
it has become known as the only firm
the market.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said last night that
it would be necessary TO increase the
capacity of the plant at once in order
to supply the demand and this will
be done in the near future. Mr. Fitz-
gerald is pleased with his success in
scoring a beat on all of the distillers
in the vicinity Of Chicago and believes
that it viii be equal to hundreds OF
dollars of advertising to him to have
the denatured alcohol users realize that
mis- Hammond plant was the first to
supply them with this most useful

Promoters Of Indiana Fed
eral Court Bill Lay Down
Their Arms.
TOO MUCH OPPOSITION
Democrats Unfriendly and Term of
Congress Short-Matter VIII
Go BY Default.

The Indiana federal court bill which
was to insure Hammond a local branch
OF the United States court, is prac-
tically dead. It is after months Of
hard fighting that Representatives
Crumpacker, Foster and Holiday. the
chief promoters of this bill. are about
ready to admit that their cause is
hopeless. The attitude of the demo-
cratic members. who are said to be
following the leadership of Repre-
sentative Dixon. is hostile to the meas
ure.
While the state at large was to have
been benefited by the operation of the
proposed new federal courts in In
diana, Hammond, South Bend, Fort
Wayne and possibly Terre Haute would
have been the seats Of the courts.
1t is doubtful whether the bill will
ever be revived in any future session
of congress during the present term.
It is hard for the Indiana men to in
terest the entire house in it and this
session, closing on the fourth of March,
it was forced aside to give place to
legislation that is of consequence to
the whole country.
In order that the bill should have
easier sailing, conferences were in
progress this week looking to the pos
sible passage, but they failed utterly
Besides the need of broader legisla-
ton in this short session of congress
guarantees of amendments offered an
other large stumbling block. Mr.. Dix
on, the democratic leader against the
measure, wanted a guarantee that the
| senate would not make an amendment
for an additional federal Judge. Messrs
Holiday and Foster refused to ma
any promises and Dixon gave notice
that he would oppose the measure in
which he was readily Joined by his
democratic followers.
On his recent visit to Hammond Nels
Jacobson, Representative Crumpack-
er's secretary, foretold that there
would be no possible chance for the
bill
Whether it will ever be revived i.
at 'thfs time a matter of doubt, as i
1t would have to be reintroduced.

A. F. KNOTS SEES HIS
MEASURE OFF AND RETURNS
Payes Way Among Legislators to Pass
Law Compelling Bell Telephone
Company to Give Garyites Long Dis
tance Service.

A. T. Knots returned last night
from Indianapolis where he had been
mixing with state legislators in the
interest of his fight with the Bell Tele-
phone company What he has accomp-
lished Will have to be seen later
Mr.. Knots wants to force the Bell
known in indianapolis and has many
friends there to whom he can appeal
for help in his fight against the Bell
people.
Mr.. Knots awnts to force the Bell
Telephone company to give him out of
town connection when his independent
system is established in Gary. The
Bell people refuse to do this hoping
thereby to force the Garyites to use
their system.
Upon his arrival in indianapolis
few days ago, Mr.. Knots gave out
the unofficial information that he was
there either to fight the company or
to find out that the legislature is
owned by the Bell people. With this he
prepared the way for his measure
which should give him outside connec-
ton by law.

FERRETs ON THE FARM.

Ferrets will be found valuable to
the farm breeder of poultry, who has
experienced the depredations of rats
among his young chicks, Rs well as
loss of grain by the rodents. The fer
rets may be tanned so as to be carried
around in the coat pocket, and if plac-
ed near a rat hole will enter and kill
or chase out the occupants. A few
hunts Of this kind will cause the rats
to leave. Ferrets are easily kept and
will live on bread and milk, or almost
anything a cat or dog will eat.-West-
