MiIan's Great Cathedral.

The first cathedral of Milan was de-
stroyed by Attila, the next one was
injured by fire, and the first stone of
the present building was laid by
Giovanni Galeazzo Visconti, on March
Is, 1886.
The ground plan is Latin cross,
terminated by an apsis. Its dimen-
sions are: Length, 4S5 feet; breadth
of body, 252 feet; between the walls
nave, from center to center of the
columns, 81 feet, which is double the
crown of the vaulting nave 153 feet;
height from pavement to top of the
statue of the Madonna, 355 feet.
The interior is divided into nave
and four aisleS by four ranges of clus-
tered pillars. Fifty-two pillars, each
formed of eight shafts, support the
arches of the roof. These pillars are
so feet high, namely: Base, four feet;
shaft, So feet capital, IS feet; the
diameter of shaft, eight feet. These are
fine interior doorways in Roman style.
The pavement is laid in Mosaic in red,
blue and white marble. The cathedral
is built of white marble, and covers
a space of 107, 1S2 square feet
1t has on its roof 10000 marble
statues. In addition it has 1,500 bas-
reliefs; 1876 spires, each spire sur
mounted by statue 61a feet high.
Everything about the church is mar
BILE, and all from the same quarry,
which was a gift of the archbishopric
for this purpose centuries ago. The
cost thus far of the building is $780,
100000. Marco Compioni was the arch
itect who designed this wonderful
structure, and it took him over forty
years to work out the plans 1t is

A traveller thus describes his first

Mostly Made in Ten Years.

The final appraisal of the late E. H
Hartman places it at a value of s149,-
100000. This is mote than 100000
over the most liberal estimate made
when 1t was a matter of speculation. AS
a rule, when an appraisal of an estate
of great wealth, which is much talked
of, is made, the public estimate is found
to be greater than the fact. Estates
shrink under careful examination. But
in the present case the contrary has
been the fact. 1t is much larger than
even his intimates supposed.
The wonder of it is that such a great
estate should have been accumulated
in the time it was. Mr.. Rockefeller's
great wealth was built up in a period
covering forty years; that of Mr.. Car
negie in about the same time. 1t took
three generations to build up the Astor
and Vanderbilt fortunes to Eieir pres
ent mammoth proportions The Nor
gan estate was erected on accumula-
lions made in a prior generation and
the time in which the great Hill, Ken
nedy and Strathcona fortunes were

HeirIooms Worth HAVING.

AlphOnse WASHER of 1925 German
street, Cincinnati, is the owner of two
rare paintings of Our Lord and the
Blessed Virgin. which were painted
thirty years before Columbus discov-
cred America. Mr.. WASHER brought
them home with him on his return
from Germany several weeks ago He
had been visiting his mother in Elsas,
Germany, and the pictures, which
nave been handed down in the Wass-
Ter family for generations, were given
to him by her. On the back of the
pictures the date, in old Saxon figures
and writing, are inscribed, 1852, by
Sebastian Kundvar." The painting is
done in brilliant red, yellow, blue and
brown, and must have been an arduous
task, because the work was executed
ON the reverse side of the glass. The
frames are odd, having been inlaid

You must not be ashamed to ask
what you do not know.
A good book is the best companion.
He who asks from a friend more than
he can do deserves a refusal.
Temperance is tree that has con-

Invariably speak the truth even when

William Thomas Noble. q native and
long time resident OF Wayne county,
who was buried today at Earlham
cemetery:
The seal of silence on thy lips is laid
While we softly speak thy
name.
To US it has one meaning and the
A brave and gentle soul. noble mind
Pure, constant. generous, modest and
refined,
With simple duty for its only aim
Dear are the days that thou hast lef,
behind.
BY sweet words hallowed, and by kind
ly deeds: -
- one friend find.
Whose tender heart and constant mind
Gave, while he fingered here on earth
Comfort and cheer, and hope, and
mirth:
And still they watt cordial breath
Across the icy waves of death.

Alive he charmed away life's fret
With all the sunshine he could get.
And when death whispered
And nature never saw such grace,
As hallowed then his noble face.
And so to think upon him here.
In this sweet season Of the year
Which he so loved, which he was like
AS clouds are to the clouds they strike
Is winning peace, and strength to live
Beyond what all the world can give.s

Smell An INTRIGUE
u. S. Ambassador to Mexico
Says Anti-Americans
Are Very Active.
HIS SPEECH CRITICISED

Mexico, City, April 14.-Henry Lane
Wilson, newly arrived American Am
bassador to Mexico, believes that a
plot to embarrass him in the discharge
of the duties of his office exists in this
city. He does not venture to name
those upon whom his suspicious rest,
If he is suspicious, as to the identity Of
those interested, but he declares that
I'm due time the exact character of the
intrigue, which is one not only hostile
to the embassy, but the interests OF the
American government as well, will be
known.
trigue grew out of the receipt by Ell
impartial, the leading Spanish daily
here, OF New York special. recounting
the publication In that city OF a sensa-
tional story, under Mexico City date,
of an offense which the ambassador Is
alleged to have given the Mexican peo-
pie in recent speech at a banquet CIV
en- In his honor by the American colo
ny.
Mr.. Wilson is said to have succeeded
as has no other diplomat before him
in exciting the Latin blood OF Mexico
through historical reference to the
empire of Charles v. OF Spain, which.
he said enslaved the bodies and souls
of the people OF two hemispheres in the
name of God, and attributing to the Az
tee and Toltec blood in large degree
the rise and development Of Mexican
civilization.
Even Americans Astonlshed.
Even the Americans present were
said to have received his words on
these subjects with great astonish-
ment.
The Ambassadors words were criti-
cised editorially by Ell Correo Espanol.
a newspaper OF limited circulation
among the Spanish residents here.
and this was made the basis of the
story telegraphed from Mexico City
and published In New York.
Ell impartial, regarded as the repre-
sentative publication Of Mexico, and =
number OF lesser Mexican dailies ed
itorially commended the utterances Of
the new Ambassador. Az for the
Americans present, the reference
passed almost unnoticed. The entire
speech, which was q response to Z
toast, was warmly applauded.
Speech Intended % Compliment.
On his own word on that occasion,
Mr.. Wilson said today:
My speech was intended as q com
pliment to the Mexican people. and /
believe was SO received by them. Only
distorted imagination or malicious
intention will be able to discover any
purpose to offend or any absence OF
courtesy.
"Since arrived here the Mexican
people and the vast majority Of the
Americans have been most courteous
and kind, but there seems to exist an
as yet underlined, but none the less act
i've. intrigue, furthered by interests
which did not welcome the coming Of
the present Ambassador"
