Great cathedrals grow slowly to completion
In the old world many Of the imposing church
architectures have seen centuries pass before
they came to their final state. New York City s
great Cathedral of St. John the Divine, was
last week carried a long step towards its com
plete formulation when ground was broken for
the nave an audience chamber of majestic pro-
portions. The plan of great building is the
ideal from which it starts, but its details are
worked out slowly. The millions to complete
the Cathedral of st. John the Divine, will come
as readily as those which already have been
spent.
Bishop Greer, who broke ground for the
great nave declared that if anything is des-
tined to endure this cathedral will stand for

wonder and admiration of distant ages unless
all earthly conditions change and destruction
overtakes the most permanent construction OF

Visitors to the metropolis have always
viewed with admiration the lofty twin pin
nacles of st. Patrick's cathedral in Fifth
avenue, below Central park. Now they turn
with still greater interest to the heights north
of that pleasure ground, where the newer cathe-
dral. designed to be the fourth largest on
earth and the finest in the western hemisphere,

Joy to talk.-Gail Hamilton.
THE IRISH SPIRIT.

The merits of the Irish outbreak aside, it is
undoubtedly true that generous emotions ami
mated many of those who took part in it. In
the past Ireland has been oppressed by the
English, and deep resentment continues to
rankle in the hearts of many citizens of the de-
tached isle. Further, Ireland has long his
tory. and like all countries that measure their
past by many centuries, she has suffered
periods of great stress; consequently, the sentl
ment Of patriotism is much more intense than 1t
is generally in the new world.
There are qualities in the Irish that the
world has long admired-wit, impulsiveness,
with intensity that irresistibly stirs the heart
the aspirations, reckless intrepidity and pathos
of their fellow countrymen; and deeds Of heroic
abandon in the short-lived revolt, of patriots
facing death in the abortive struggle and before
the firing squad will long be told beside Irish
firesides and in the lyrics of her gifted sons
and daughters
Something of the glamor that, as one con
ceives it, the Irish are able to cast about even
a feeble uprising has been conveyed in the
news dispatches, and perhaps has tended to
soften the condemnation of even the ardent
AnglophiIe. To illustrate, there was an allur-
ing picturesqueness in the surrender of Countess
Georgiana Markievics-where she got her name
and how she pronounces it, we should be glad
to learn. Despite her name, her dash and def
ance stamp her Irish.
Commanding party Of one hundred and
twenty rebels, the countess had stubbornv
held the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin
until resistance was longer possible; then,
with her little band following her in twos, she
led her men before the British force. She was
dressed entirely in green, with green sash,
a green hat trimmed with a green feather,
and puttees of green Before the COM
manding officer she announced: 81 am ready
as she kissed her revolver and surrendered it
She has not been permitted to die for her coun-
