Cathedral
limited Press Dispatch. !

New York, December 31.-Work on
construction of the Cathedral of st.
John the Divine, which had been in
progress about twenty-five years
when it was interrupted by the war,
will be resumed Immediately. --. .
This cathedral, situation on Morn
ingside Heights, or almost the highest
ground in Manhattan, is designed by
the Protestant Episcopal diocese OF
New York to be much the largest
church edifice in the western hemis-
phere, and it is estimated that at
least 100 years will be required for
its completion. H..
AS soon as the treaty of peace is
signed Bishop David II. Greer and
Dean Howard Chandler Robins will
announce plan for incorporating in
the walls of the cathedral nave me-
MORALS for Americans who died in
the world war. Memorial tablets of
stone or metal will be placed on the
walls of the nave. Relatives of sol :
diers who desire such memorials will
contribute certain sums, ard these
contributions will be used to finance
a large part of the construction.
Wealthy New Workers have con-
tributed vast sums for the construc-
ton thus far completed, but only a
good beginning has been made to-
ward the building of the great pile.

Thomas Fay, Aged Wanderer,
Succumbed to the Cold at
New UIm

Thomas Fay, aged sixty five, was
found near the Sons of Hermann
monument in New Ulm yesterday,
frozen to death. A party of New Ulm
people had gone to the grounds near
the monument to remove a stove
from one of the refreshment stands
there when they discovered the old
man lying near one of the stands.
At the time he was found Fay lay
on his back with his knees drawn
up. There is no question but that
he was frozen to death. He was
dressed fairly well, carried walking
stick and ir his pockets a knife with
a black handle, the stub of a lead
pencil and a broken comb were
found. How long he had been lying
dead cannot be determined.
There seems little question but
this is the same man who asked for
lodging in the police station about
week ago. Officers of the local
department took the old fellow in
and allowed him to sleep in a cell
overnight. He had no money at
that tie and ~'"J very lame, walk
g with decided stoop and using
his cane. He told the police officers
that he was going from Mankato to
New Ulm.

TRAVEL

Do not travel unless it is abso-
lutely necessary and if you do
travel carry your own lunch bas-
ket. This is the advice of the
government to the general public
and is an indication of how badly
plans have been upset for the
Christmas period. But there is
considerable homely advice con-
tanned in the edict. If people
didn't travel except when nee
essary and if they carried their
own food with them steps would
be taken toward economy.
1t wasn't so long ago when
people did those things without
being told. But with the ad-
vent of various styles and fash
ions and the love of convenience
many of the simple things which
helped so materially to bring
about comfortable old age for
struggling couples were abon-
doned.
There is nothing radical in the
suggestions. There is nothing
novel in them. But of course
in the race of keeping up a
front" some people might feel
their pride was injured by fol-
lowing out the idea. All of
which rather leads to the notion
that the person who intimated
that false pride and high prices
were close relations was a
shrewd observer.
