The work of rearing the celebrated religious edif1ce was commenced in 1645, the wealthy people of Quebec having contributed for that purpose 1,250 beaver skins, which were sold to start the building fund. The cor nerstone was laid by Governor Mont nlagny and Father Lalement, the Su- perior of the Jesuits and was com pleted in time for the Christmas eve mass of 1850, but it was not until nearly seven years later that the edifice was formally opened. The cathedral is one of the finest, archi- tecturaIly, in North America, and can accommodate 4,o00 people.

Quebec Cathedral

The first mass in Quebec Cathedral.
 one of the most famous Catholic ed ifces in North America, was cele- brated 264 years ago to-day, on Christmas Eve, 1850. Since then the church has been practically rebuilt, although the foundations and part of the walls are still in existence. Since that Christmas eve of 1850 the doors of the cathedral have never been clos ed, with the exception of brief pe- riod in 1759, when the building was partly wrecked by bombs and flames.

LIEUTENANT BECKER
SECURES new TRIAL
But Gunner in Rosentha| Case
Will Be EIectrocuted.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 25.-The con.
viction of Charles w. Becker, a for.
mer New York police lieutenant. of
the murder of Herman Rosenthal, was
reversed and the conviction of the
four gunner for the same crime was
affirmed by the court of appeals.
Justice Golf, the court held, erred in
many of his rulings at Becker's trial
and appeared to be prejudicial in his
attitude toward the defendant. The
reversal was based solely on these
grounds. No attempt was made by
the court to say whether the weight
of evidence against Becker was sufti.
cient to warrant his conviction.
1t was pointed out, however, that
the testimony against him was given
by witnesses Of low class and as much
of it was open to doubt, he, therefore,
was entitled to a fairer trial than he
received.
The decision in the case of the four
gunner, "Gyp the Blood" Whitley
Lewis" "Dago Frank" and Lefty
Louie" was unanimous. They had
averred that the evidence against
them was insufficient to warrant con-
viction and also that the court had
erred in handling their cases, but
these contentious were held by the
court to be groundless.

Democrats of the state have held no
such meeting since John Lind's "a

Various threatened storms did not

so decisively and apparently left so
little bitterness that the banquet was
all that party love feast should be.

In Minnesota was absent, the notable
exception being Daniel w. Lawler OF

The fight came on the proposition
first advanced by Chairman O'Brien
that some method be devised for per.

ton throughout the state-a thing
which under the new law cannot be
done by county candidates as in for
mer times.
1t finally was voted to call county
mass meetings in all counties to name
county committees and elect dele
gates to state mass meeting to name

New York, March 1.-The Sullivan

committee appointed by the lower
house Of the legislature, held it's first
public hearing in the city hall here.
The committees counsel summoned
AZ the first witnesses former Governor
sulzer and John A. Hennessy.
sulzer said that information Of
graft In the state highway department
came to him during his campaign for
governor and that in accordance with
prediction promises he appointed a
committee to investigate and report.
"They only investigated sixty days."
said sulzer, but they found out
enough in that time to convince me
that every department of the state
was honeycombed with graft. l then
appointed Hennessy to investigate the
highway department and told him to
go to the end of the rope, drive out
the grafters and to spare nobody.
THE legislature, however. refused
to appropriate the money to defray
the expenses of the investigation, so
Hennessy and land few friends
put up the money.
Tammany Kills Appropriation.
1.-THE Tammany senators, acting un-
der instructions, struck out the ap.
preparation. Hennessy investigated
forty roads in twenty-five counties and
found that their construction was
fraudulent.
1.-THE taxpayers had been defrauded
Of millions and millions of dollars.
Hennessy told me that about 30 per
cent of the cost of the roads went for
their actual construction and the rest
was stolen.
Later Hennessy discovered as
founding graft in the reconstruction
of the state capitol and ordered State
Architect Hoefer to resign because of
these revelations"
Hennessy was the next witness. He
repeated the testimony he gave at

which he raised about 100000 from
