SACRED TREASURE OF TREVES
French Cathedral City Claims Posses
F., sion of Coat Worn by Savior at
His Crucifixion.

The ancient archepiscopal city of
Treves, on the Moselle, is remarkable
for possessing among it's cathedral
treasures the coat reputed to be that
worn by the Savior at his crucifxion,
for which the Roman soldiers cast
lots This coat was the gift of the
Empress Helena, the mother Of Con-
stantine the Great the discoverer of
many memorials of the founders of
Christianity.
In the time of Helena, Trevas was
the capital Of Belgic Gaul, and the
home of the later Roman emperors.
1t is recorded that she converted her
palace into the cathedral and en-
dowed it with this treasure-the seam
less coat of the Savior.
The coat is a loose garment with
wide sleeves, simple in form, of
coarse material, dark brown in color,
probably the result of age, and en-
tirely without seam or decoration The
coat is said to measure from the ex-
tremity of each sleeve five feet five
inches, the length of the collar to the
lower edge five feet two inches.
In part the holy coat of Treves is
tender or threadbare. There are some
stains on it. These are reputed to
be those of the blood of the Savior.
1t is reputed to have caused many
miracles in the cures of bodily all
ments. It's efficiency has never been
doubted in Treves.

the fine iron wires inside it cost mint

New York, January 25.-The COM
pletion of the long distance telephone
line between New York and San Fran
cisco was celebrated today. First, this
city had speech with her California
neighbor, 3,400 miles away. Then the
wires that swing southwark from
New York brought Washington and
San Francisco into telephone touch.
