Applying the acid test OF bull

office OF county clerk and the ap-

missioners, the progressive county
central committee has unsheatehei
the snickersnee for Reuben E. Starr
and James A. Munson in particular
and to L. C. Worthington, DR.. R. B.
Harrington and L. W. Burgess in
general.
That the committee will not rec

not wholly and eonsecrntedly identt-

OF a resolution passed by the organiz-

over, il is said on excellent author
ity that Charles 5. Jones. who was
the principal contributor to the prog
campaign fund. will consider the
wishes of that organization and re-
move Starr and Munson from their
jobs after January 1.
a much more serious situation pre-
sents itself. however. There were n
great many of the old Stewart-Dodge
bunch of so-called progressivG-repuO
licans who did not join the bull
moose contingent in their county or
ganiZation. CHIEF among these is

asked for the clerkship of the board

.ELKS, IN LODGE OF SORROW,
PAY TENDER TRIBUTE TO DEAD
Rev. John Wallis Oh Former Local Divine Delivers The Principal
EuIOgy-MemOria Addresses Over Eight Brothers Who

Solemnly, impressively and sin

evening to those of their members
who have passed beyond the confines
of mortality.
There are few services as beauti-
full as the annual memorial service

in which the sacred exercises We're

The services were held at the lodge

relatives and friends were in attend

There was no effort to elaborately
decorate the hall for the occasion,
but the room was attractively ar
ranged
Exalted Ruler w. r. DOwrey ably

The general eulogy was delivered
by Rev. John Wallis OH, formerly

Wilmington, Del.-Becoming totally
blind fourteen weeks ago, George

years, 1851 East Thirteenth street, had
his sight restored to him through an
accident. About eleven years ago Nor
gan was struck in one eye with a
stone small boy had thrown at a
freight car. His sight was badly af-
fected and last September he went
to st. Joseph's hospital in Baltimore
to have his eye treated. While sitting
in his boarding house fourteen weeks
ago he suddenly became totally blind
without any warning whatever.
He came to this city to visit his
parents on June 20, and he tripped
over rug and fell, his forehead strik-
ng door-jamb with much force.
When he arose he found that he could
see the daylight and later develop
ments showed that he could see bet

pital last var.
He intends to return to the hos
pital to continue the treatment, al

SAVED FROM RUIN
Undermining of Winchester Cath
edraI Stopped by Cement.
For Many Years the Historic Building
Has Been Cracking, Bullying and
Settling, Threatening to Col
lapse Completely.

London.--After a period of eight
centuries, Winchester cathedral now
rests on a. solid and immovable foun-
dation, saved from threatened ruin.
Almost every day in the last few years
the movements of a diver in regula-
ton dress have been watched with GU
rious interest as he entered or emerg-
ed from the water beneath the founda-
lions of the cathedral. He was at
work helping to save from ruin one of
Englands noblest historic buildings,
and the successful issue of the under
taking has been celebrated by a
thanksgiving service in the cathedral
NJ For several years the dean and chap
Der of Winchester had been watching
ominous signs, such as cracks, bulg-
ings and settlements, sure harbingers
of collapse of the cathedral. From
the interior daylight could be seen
through the cracks; the latter grew
ever wider and wider The walls on
the south side and the Norman tran
septs, unequaled for their majestic
simplicity, were riven in all directions.
The massive masonry of the Norman
builders had from the beginning
proved too ponderous for the watery
compressible soil which forms the
foundation.
The first hole dug into the founda-
lions revealed the cause Of the whole
trouble water-and acting on expert
advice, holes were dug in sections
through the top soil and chalk and far
through the peat. Then it was the
work of the diver in his usual diving
dress to enter the hole, remove further
layers Of peat SO as to allow the water
to rise into the cavity, and then to lay
flooring of cement to prevent the wa
ter from sinking back into the gravel.
After the imprisoned water had been
removed by pumping the cavity was
filed up with brickwork in cement
This extended from the floor laid by,
