above the floor and that of St. Johns 202 feet.
 The total superficial area of St. Peters, the greatest of all cathedrals, is 227.OSs square feet, little less than double that of the next largest, at Seville, Spain, which has 124.G00 Third comes the Duo mo of Milan, with 107 GOO square feet, and fourth St. Johns, with 9s,5oo. Other no- table churches are Cologne cathedral,
 s1. .46l; St. Pauls, London, s4o25; St. So- phia, Constantinople. 70,000; Notre Dame,
 Paris, 64, 10S; Westminster abbey, 6l,729. The construction Is everywhere designed for all the ages. The outer walls are Of cream colored granite from Lake Mohe-
 gan, N Y, faced with a beautiful soft huff limestone from Frotenac. Minn. The grained vaults above the choir will be brilliant with primary colors, and the softly dome of the crossing will blaze with mosaics and gold. At It's four corners stand four masonry piers, supporting the ceiling of the dome, and the weight of the tower above. Each of them is 26 feet
 square, it's load is 34,ns,Ooo pounds, and it stands on concrete foundations, bedded 40 feet below in the living rock.
 No Iron in Framework Impinging upon the piers. and now vis- ible in all photographs of the cathedral, but later to be completely inclosed by the exterior walls, are four flying buttreses, the heaviest ever built. which will take up the thrust of the arches and distribute their load evenly on the piers. It was not felt wise in so savage a climate as that of the Atlantic coast to expose them, con-
 stitutlng as they do the only guarantee Of the structural integrity of he. whole to
 the attacks of rain and frost, fmpercepti-
 ble at first, but implacably destructive in
 the course of the centuries.
 No iron and no wood Is used in the
 frame work of the cathedral proper. The
 floors are of hollow tiing, the walls of
 hollow brick, and the roof of tiling again,
 with copper sheathing over all. needed
 only for a weather screen. An elaborate
 heating and ventilating plant Is already
 in operation.
 Hidden electric lights will rim the
 arches of the choir with incandescence. A
 closely woven system of telephone wires
 will connect the vast wings for the use
 of its governing clergy. As the choir
 withdraws in the recessional, its blended voices will be brought back to the kneel- ing congregation through sounding horns,
 with apertures inside the walls. The building will be as nearly imperishable, indestructible, and responsive to the needs that have called 1t into being as 1t has
 been possible for human ingenuity to
 make 1t.

Compared With Others

some idea of the size of the cathedral IS to De gained from comparison with other notable cathedrals. The central tower of Trinity church, Boston. hither- to the most massive in America. could stand within St. Johns crossing and leave three-quarters of it's area bare The dome IS of almost equal span with that of the mosque of St. Sophia at -Constantinople and nearly 100 feet higher The dome of St Paul's, London, Is slightly wider but 36 feet lower. The rotunda of the capi- toi at Washington is of the same super hcial area, but the ceiling stands 1ss feet

J. Fl. PHILLIPS.
Merchant, Matewan, w. Va


Among the merchants of Mate
wan who are acting we'll the role
they n4ve assumed. in the mercantile
field there, we mention in making a
review, Mr. j. H. Phillips, the well
and favorably known grocer and
purveyor to the larder. He is carry
ing in his attractive AMI commod-
ious new brick building a large
varied and select stock of staple
and fancy groceries, table delicacies
and imported fruits and
vegetables, and just a glance into
his neat store is suggestive of sys-
tenn, order and tact in it's every
detail, and eyinces the fact that it
receives the most careful and vigil
liant attention with a view to meet
ing. the needs and wants of the
trade in the minutest way.
Besides groceries and provisions,
etc, he is handling splendid line
of shoes and notions for men, women
and children comprising only well
known standard makes from lead
ing manufacturers.
Mr. Phillips is an old resident of
Matewan and has large acquaint-
anee and growing business which
is resultant of straightforward and
prompt business methods.

GAUNT AND HAGGARD.
Preacher Sits IN Cctl Facing Mur,ler
Charge


Boston, Mass, Oct. 26.-Gaunt,
haggard, physically AMI mentally
wreck, Rev. Clarence Virgil Thomp-
son, Richeson, pastor of the Eman-
uel Baptist church at Cambridge,
sits today in cell 43, in murderer's
row, in the Charles street jail, ac-
cused OF the murder of 19-year-old
Avis Linnell whom he is said to have
ruined under pretense of marriage.
The details of the story as they
slowly come to light reveal the crime
OF which the young clergyman is ac-
cused as one Of the most fiendish in
history. Miss Linnell, young stu
dent of music, had blameless repu-
tation before she fell under the
spell of the handsome clergyman.
Up to the time that seated in the
bath room of her apartments in the
Y. w. G. A. building she took two
crystals OF cyanide Of potassium in
the belief, as the police assume, that
1t was medicine that would avert her
impending shame, no breath OIL sus-
picion had ever been attached to her
name. It was only when an autopsy
revealed the fact that she was to
become a mother that the, police
began to build UP the terrible chain
il circumstantial evidence that they
have now woven about the case.
(By United Press.)
Hyannism, Mass, Oct. 21.-Until
nearly noon today an effigy figure
Of the Rev. c. v. T. Richeson,
charged with the murder of Avis
Linnell swung from the old elm
tree In front of the Baptist church
here where he first met the girl. The
figure was nung late last night fol-
lowing the weekly prayer meeting.
The hanging was preceded by a
prayer meeting in the little churcn
of over a hundred townspeople who
had known Avis Linnell since her
