WARSAW CATHEDRAL

Warsaw, Jan. Elm the center OF
the "Sachsenplatz' of "Saxony
Square" and surrounded by buildings
that date back to the time when the
Saxons possessed Warsaw, stands the
Immense Russian cathedral with its
many gilded domes.
Formerly huge bell hung in each
of the domes. Lest the Germans
should make use of the metals, the
Russians, before evacuating Warsaw,
removed all but one. That one was
to be taken away, too, but workmen
bungled, let it slip and watched help
lessly as it plunged to the ground
and buried itself yards deep i'll the
soft soil around the church. The
Germans have, with more or less dif-
| ficulty, dug it out.
The interior of the huge church has
been stripped clean. The altar with
it's rich furnishings is gone, the port
able paintings are missing, and holes
in the wall indicate the former loca-
ton of mosaics Not a stick of furnl-
ture remains, and the entire building

New York Oct. 19.-The new 13,400,- ton armed munition and passenger teamer Alaunia of the Cunard line was sunk by a mine in the English Channel today, between Falmouth and London.

 The 243 passengers, S5 cabin and 5S steerage, that the Alaunia carried from this port on October 2, were lanGed at Falmouth on Wednesday night, and probably owe their lives to that fact The Alaunia had cargo of 10000 tons of war munitions, but examination of her manifest filed at the customs house the day she sailed revealed she had no explosives on board.
 The news of the loss was the first intimation that the steamship men that had the liner had even arrived in England, and all week long they have been beseiged with inquiries from friends of the passengers asking for news. Among the passengers were about twenty American citizens dis tributed between the cabin and steer age.
 A 7.7-inch naval rifle to be Used fol defensive purposes was mounted or the Alaunia's stern. She was twin screw steamship build in 1913 al Greenock for the Cunard Canadian one-cabin service.

RETURNS TO PENITENTIARY
". 0. Shuffield Returned to Peniten-
 tiary but Thanks People.

I am truly sorry indeed to leave the bed side of my daughter and return to the penitentiary at McAlister,, Okla., My stay with her was short, but am glad to say I have but one continual praise and thanks for the good people of Ashdown, especially all those who assisted my daughter in any way, who is yet struggling between life and death, and if the good people of Okla homa don't understand the great need of my presence, aid and assistance with her and will not permit me to return to aiG, care and comfort her in the last hours of her life, I feel assured she is being cared for by the people of God
 Most all of us occasionally make mistakes in life and if there were no forgiveness of sin, we would all be lost and I know the conditions that lind her tc a dying bed, are real sad, but who knows but what some day other loved ones Will fall victim to such circumstances, as is now slowly stealing her life away. While l have been with her, I have cared for her tenderly; I have sung, have prayed with her night and day. l have help cd to bring her to the foot of the cross and point her to the Lamb of God. which taketh away the sin of the world.
 She tells me she has repented and is saved from sin. Therefore, l feel lie my coming to see her is not in vain, and I ask all to lajoice with me in the hopes of meeting on the other side of the chilly waters of death.
 Most respectfully yours in Christ,
 w. o. Shuffield.

MANY HITS WITHOUT SCORING
Pirates Made Three Triples, Single, and Two Passes Without Count
 ing . Run.

"Is 1t possible" asks a Joliet, Ill.,, fan, ''for a team to make three triples, a single, and get two bases on balls in one inning and then fail to score a rum?
 Not only is 1t possible, but such an incident actually happened back in 1892.
 The Pirates were playing the Cubs In Pittsburgh, with Pittsburgh at bat. The first three Pirates tripled. Two died trying to stretch their drives to homers. Then came the two passes, filling the bases. The next batter drove the ball along the third base line. It hit the Pirate runner coming In and he was out under the "hit-by- 'batted-ball" rule. The batter, however, officially was credited with a single.

 Benny knew Demaree had slipped a good one over, and he took 1t as a break in the game. Instead of trying to alibi himself before 10000 fans he about faced" and marched on about his business. He did not tap the plate with vengeful force, nor did he stop to cast an Ominous look at the umpire, thereby conveying the impression that he had been cheated.

 W-Fans Like Him.

Benny Kauff has already established himself as one of the most likab'e play CTS that ever wore a white uniform at the Polo grounds, says New York writer. There are many good reasons why Kauff deserves his popularity.
 In a recent game Demaree walked Kauff twice in the early innings and then famed him in the sixth on three pitched balls. Benny took his wallop at the first two. Demaree curved over the third one, and before Klem had finished the Delsarte movement he
