COMES TO STUDY FORESTRY
Americans More Practical, Ger
man Thinks.

n. Karl Escherich. a professor in the
poval Academy Of Forestry at Tharandt

Prenen on the North German Lloyd liner
George Washington on his way TO Wash
,,e,on. where he will study the practical
sid. Of forest conservation.
He said Germany was ahead of America
IN its theories, but that this country was
far IN advance Of Germany in Its practical
forestry While in Washington DIT Esch-
erich will spend some time with Professor
:. o. Howard. the entomologist of the De-
rartment Of Agriculture, from whom he
expects 20 learn the methods used in this
country Of combating insects that destroy
plant life.
Also on the Washington was Major Leo

Cathedral Built by Kitchener.

Inasmuch as the Anglican Cathedral az
Khartoum. erected in memory of General
Gordon, is in every sense Of the word a
creation Of Lord Kitcheners. having been
built with money which he personally col
lected. it is eminently fitting that the field
marshals first piece Of work after the
assumption Of his duties as British Pleni-
potentiary In the land OF the Nile will be
10 preside at the conservation Of the ca
thedral which is now completed.
The ceremony Of conservation is to take
place on January 2s next. which will be
the twenty-seventh anniversary of General
Gordons death at Khartoum and a large
number of persons. Including many Of Cor
don's admirers. are arranging to 90 out to
Khsrtoum for the occasion, leaving Lon
don on January Il and arriving in Khar-
toum eleven days later. travelling by way
Of Trieste. the Suez Canal, Tort Soudan.
and thence across the desert TO the
city on the Nile The return trip is to he
made by the railroad to Wady Halfa and
down the Nile 70 Cairo. the cost OF the
entire trip amounting to about $3.50 for each
person.
Kitchener has never been looked upon by
the general public as a man OF a great deal
OF heart nor as very religious but these
impressions are altogether based on lack of
knowledge. He does not carry his heart on
his sleeve nor does he make a parade of
his religious principles. His dislike Of
General Sir Rudolf Slatn Pacha for be-
coming a convert to Islam during his cap
tivity among the Dervishes in order TO
save his life and his erection of the cathe-
draI at Khartoum TO commemorate Cor
don constitute evidence of the fact that Re
feels strongly on such subjects.
The Bishop Of London, who is we'll
known in America, is TO officiate as the
Of the cathedral. and his
throne will be placed beside Lord Kitchen
er's seat. on the south side of the chancel.
The building. both within and without, is
a most imposing edifce, built FOR the most
part Of plain, solid sandstone. the vaulted
roofs being particularly fine. The north
transept. which is TO be used as a separate
chapel when the number of worshippers
are few, is known as the Gordon Memorial
Chapel owing TO the fact that il stands on
the spot where Gordon met his death.

here to-day by her nephew, Stephen Z.
Barton When Miss Barton took TO her
bed q few days ago there was alarm eX-
pressed by her friends on account Of her
advanced age-ninety years. The trouble,
said her nephew to-day, was due 10 a slight
muscular weakness Of the heart, and IS not
serious His statement, in part. follows:
Miss Barton is not at the point of death,
although the nearly fatal sickness OF last
winter from pneumonia left with her some
of lis ill effects. Her appetite and diges-
uon are normal and all her organs are pro-
noIuCed good. Long years OF constant
work and the sickness Of last winter have
caused d slight weakness IN the muscular
action OF the heart.
Her intellect was never keener clearer,
more alert than now. Yesterday / spent
two hours with her in our customary old
time wav of conversation, in the transac-
ton OF business household, literary and
personal affairs, and she was considering
with me whether she might take the risk
Of spending the winter at her Oxford home

climate OF Glen Echo, her winter home IN

IreIand's New Lord Chancellor.

Redmond Barry who has just been pro-
NOTED from the Attorney Generalship Of
ireland 10 the Office Of Lord Chancellor OF
the Emerald Isle. enjoys the distinction Of
being the only Irish Liberal In the House
Of Commons. All the other Irish members
are either Nationalists or Conservatives.
Sir Redmond Barry-for by this time he
viii have received the honor Of knight
hood-hails from Cork and is a son Of
Patrick Barry. Of Hill View, Cork He was
included in Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
mans administration as Solicitor General
for ireland six years ago, and has since
then sat in Parliament for North Tyrone,
winning his election on each occasion by
very narrow majority.
The Office Of Lord High Chancellor Of
ireland carries with it d salary Of $40-
Oo0 a year-that is to say. just $4,000 less
than the Lord High Chancellor of Great
Britain-but. unlike the latter he has no
seat in the House OF Lords. on one or two
occasions. as. for instance, in the case Of
Lord Ashbourne, the Chancellor has had d
seat in the Cabinet. This. however, has
only been by way OF an exception.
The Lord Chancellor OF ireland has
charge of the Great Seal Of Ireland It is
4 duplicate Of the Great Seal Of Great
Britain, and is used by the Lord Chancel-
lor Of ireland only for purely Irish state
documents Records Of its use have 70 be
transmitted 20 the Lord High Chancellor
OF Great Britain. The Lord Chancellor Of
ireland presides over the Irish Chancery
Division. and is. ex ofiicio. a member Of
the Irish Court OF Appeal He appoints
the irish justices Of the peace, but not
the paid resident magistracy in whose
hands the magisterial functions of Ireland
are really vested. These are nominated,
promoted. and in case Of necessity dis
charged. by the Viceroy OF Ireland.
The office Of Lord High Chancellor Of
Ireland. who has 10 woolsack on which to
eli, is a very ancient one, the first 10 hold
the Office being Stephen Ridel. who re-
ceived his appointment In lls9.
Formerly there was Lord High Chan

aao on the union OF Scotland with Eng
land. his functions were merged in those
