ST. PAUL'S is IN
NEED OF REPAIRS:
WALLS CRUMBLI ING

London. JAM 2s-Agafn the atten-
ton of the public has been called
to the danger of St PauFs Cathedral
collapsing through ''seni1e decay and
an appeal for funds is made by the
Dean to hasten the repairs
" Two years ago the sum of $3.50 900
was asked by the cathedral preserva-
ton board. and of this only about
$150,O00f has been so far subscrfb-
ed. It was then stated by the ex-
aiming boardf that the original
architect the great Wren, had been
very sparing in his use of materials.
The constant Earring of the build
ing by notorious and other heavy
traffic had Of course not been anti
cipated.
The vast and fnperfectIy distribut-
ed weight of the dome is the seat of
the trouble, and the gradual pres
sure of the weight is accelerated by
the rusting of iron and internal de-
generacy. Only the loyalty of the
materials to each other says one au-
thorfty, has kept the mass together.
Repairs done at an earlier period are
found to be entirely inadequate, and
new buttresses and supports must be
constructed as soon as the money can
be found.

A MAIL ROBBERY.
st. Clairsville, Ohio, Jan. 4, 1S1

st. C1airsvi11e, Ohio, Jan. 4, 1916.
On Tuesday night last, the mail
coming from the Westward, was rob-
bed about 4 miles beyond Morristown
in this count. The post-rider states
that he was stopped by tow men, who
tied his feet together and his hands
behind his back; that they dragged
the mails a few steps from him and
cut the bags open, searched the let
tiers, and appeared to take out a great
deal of plumber. The letters in the
mail were generally open and thrown
down.
When the villains had completed
their search, they told the Post-rider
that there was two others concerned
and that in about an hour they would
come along and unite him, or take his
life, as might be agreed upon. They
then left him and he worked off one
of his socks and got the rope over his
heel. He made his way to a house
and gave the alarm; but we do not
learn that anything has yet transpir-
ed to lead to a, discovery of the wret-
ches who committed the robbery.

FILIPINO INSULAR

Manila, Jan. 28-The Filipino as
sembly has voted in favor of the es-
tablishment of an InsuIar Bank, but
has rejected the proposal that for

tuition
Moved by the brilliant oratory of
Delegate C1arin of Bohol, the House
at first accepted his argument that
1nasmuch as the philippines want to
become an independent nation it was
imperative they should show their
ability to maintain an Insular bank
without the intervention of foreign
capital, and an amendment to the
bank bill was passed to the effect that
foreigners should be excluded from
the right to purchase any shares in
the bank
Speaker Osmena. acting in his ca
pacity of delegate from Cebu, immedf-
eteIy stood up and spoke vigorously in
favor of the investment of foreign
capital. He said:

rs TT CHURCH OR A FIRE?

The firemen end others complain
much of the careless manner in which,
they say. the alarm BELLS rung. What
need is there, what justification for
carelessness, or incorrectness at all in
this matter? We know none-can
think of none.
Last evening, some two or three
bells were ringing while the alarm
was being struck, and for some time
1t was difficult to decide whether the
intention was to summon people to
church or to a fire. It strikes US that
something should be done to prevent
this confusion.

His injuries are more serious than
at first supposed and may terminate
