A Mirage City in Alaska

From the New York Sun
 ono of the best stories regarding mi rage is that told in Alaska concerning the appearance of city in the sky. This
 silent City" is said to have actually been photographed. and though there are skeptics, enough people claim to have seen it to make the story interesting.
 The first account of this "City of Si- 'lence'' was told by | prospector named Wiloughby. He was a miner in Califor- mia and went to Alaska. where he settled in the vicinity of Muir Glacier. In fact, il was Willoughbv who piloted Professor Muir when he asccnded the immense ice field which now bears the scientist S name. WillouShby always told the story of this city which appeared in the sky with much earnestness and he carried q which he said he took after

Cathedral's Progress

New York is not to follow European ways in cathedral building and take generations to complete the largest and costilest edifce devoted to religious purposes in the New World. 1t had been the idea of the bishop who founded the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the late Dr. Potter, that the structure should be growth, as its work grew. The present bishop, Dr. Greer. wants to perform the task, as soon as possible, and has devised scheme by which the whole thing is to be done within the next five years, save only the dome and the transepts. About s1 100000 will be needed. but the bishop believes New York people will give him $2o0,o0O a year for five years. He has just out lined the plan, and has received its in dorsement by about 200 of New York s wealthiest women.
 Money has been given and there are under construction nine buildings on the cathedral grounds at the present mo- ment. The amount of their combined cost will be $1,600,000. One of these is a synod hall, to cost S300,000, and to be completed for october. 1913, when the Episcopal general convention meets in New York. ]. Pierpont Morgan was the prime mover in having this conven- ton for New York. and it was he who gave the major part of the money for the hall. The structure is later to be used for general meetings. not always Episcopal, but such as mean all uplift causes. Two other structures are resi- denoes for the bishop and the dean, to cost S150,000 each. still another is a choir school for the training of boys who sing in the cathedral choir. Pupils in this school are to be gotten from every part of the country. AS payment for their singing daily and on Sundays good college preparatory training is given them. The school is modelled on the English ones.
 The five other structures are the chapels which surround the sanctuary. Crowds attend the cathedral services. and according to Bishop Greer, speaking the other day to givers of the money, effectively answers the question why people do not attend religious worship as formerly with the affirmation that they do.

KITCHEN MAID INVENTED IT
True Story of Origin of Polka Told al
 Last
From the westminster Gazette.

From the Westminster Gazette.
 Recently there has been considerable discussion in the Austrian press concern ing the origin of the polka; and it appears that at last the question is settled and the origins of the dance finally determined. It appears that the polka was the improvi- sation of an Austrian maidservant who, tired of kitchen work began to dance at her own sweet will, singing the while a native folk-song as accompaniment. Her master and mistress caught her in the middle of her dance and made her come into the drawing room, where she danced

Turkey in Europe. Influence Is now sought to induce England, in the final negotiations. to take steps to rescue Jerusalem from Islam control. There would then remain but little of the earth's surface politically under Moslem power. Much has been done within the decade in Palestine to modernize trans portation. Not only is Christian in- terest great in Palestine, but there is also to be gained the opening up of the historic region. impossible under Turkish rule. to trolley lines and clean hotels.
 Roman Catholics are expressing fear that they will not get on as well in the Balkan territory when the allies come into control and perhaps a new nation comes into existence, as they have done under Moslem rule. The Roman catho- lie interests. centering in Constantino- pie, are very considerable, and extend not only into Bulgaria and Seryia and south Russia in Europe. but also into Asiatic Turkey, Armenia and the Holy Land. The Balkan allies are eastern Orthodox Catholic in over whelming numbers. with Russian Orth- odox church influence paramount. Re- C6nIIY Inc AIltIlCdn dt- knowledging allegiance to the Pope of Rome in new and stronger terms, vis- tied Rome with his council of bishops and priests, and returned to Trebezond with new zeal and larger plans. The Pope is reported to be extremely anXi- ous for the welfare of Roman Cath ollie interests in the Balkans if the Sul- tan departs.
 Albanian sentiment at home is re- hected by an address just issued by Alabanian prists in America. This ad- dress was made to representatives of the Russian Orthodox church here, and
 its expressions are partly political and party reflective of the enmity that ex- ists between the two brancshes of the eastern Orthodox church. Although both eastern orthodox, the Greek and the Russian branches have never agreed very well, and are likely to work together still less In future. Bulgaria has it's autonomous church, more close ly allied to Russian than to Greek. The Albanian priests resident here say the allies have treated Albanians worse than ever did the Turks and they cite historic proofs and instances.
 Jewish leaders, both Zionists and oth- CTS, are taking steps to send to Jews
 in the Balkans financial relief from America. Several committees have been named to collect funds, and already considerable sums have been cabled No political use is to be made of contribu- tions, although Zionist Jews declare the outcome of the war is to help their cause immeasurably. Relief funds are to go to assist suffering Jews resi- dent in either Turkey or the countries of the allies. The Methodist foreign board. having received appeals from Bulgarian Methodists, is asking Meth odists here to contribute through It's hands to a fund for the relief of Bal kan sufferers by the war.

HARMON REBUkEs BRYAN.

The Hon. William J. Bryan has been
In Ohio stamping the state against its
governor and native son who Is a can.
didate for the democratic presidential
nomination. Heretofore Mr. Bryan has
been supporter of Governor Harmon
and there Is now growing suspicion
That his present fight against him, and
his lack OF positive support for either
OF the other candidates, is for the pur.
pose OF scattering the instructions to
the Baltimore convention and thereby
capture the nomination himself.
However that may be, Governor Har-
mon in a recent speech handed Mr..
Bryan singing rebuke which sur.
passed anything of the kind seen in
modern politics. 1t was in part as
follows:
Il served for years as a Judge and
also as attorney general. | have been
for more than three years governor.
In all of these positions there has
been ample opportunity to favor spe.
cial interests or shirk my duty. II Mr.
Bryan will point out single instance
where ! ever did either | will get out
OF the way of his desires, whatever
they are.

disappointments in the selection of

Much of this we owe to it's most capa.
BILE and worthy leader Mr.. Under
wood. Yet Mr.. Bryan has time and

Mr.. Underwood truly denies Mr.
Bryan's charges that his candidacy is
in any other behalf than his own. The
only relation Mr.. Underwood and my.
self have in the pending contest is
that Mr.. Bryan has put us both on his
list of impossibllities.
Mr.. Bryan's persistence in advocat-
ing government ownership of railroads
against the advice of all his friends
had much to do with his last defeat.
Though it did not find a place in the
platform, found it was being used
against him among railroad employees
