Named Canon in 1908.
DR.. Bratenahl was named a Canon
of the Cathedral in 1908, four years
before the laying of the foundation
stone. Since that time he has become
famous as the leading iconographist
of the United States. His knowledge
IF ecclesiastical architecture and orna-
mentation has been recognized uni
versally. All the building operations
at Mount St. Alban during more than
quarter century have been carried
on under his direct supervision. He
has been the representative Of the
chapter in dealing with the. contrac-
tors since the beginning Of structural
development, and in that capacity
has borne the title Of chairman Of
the Building Committee.
AS a partner In his work. the Dean
has had the active help of his wife,

other beautiful paintings Of the Cathe-

Still Heads Committee,
From the Cathedral Offices the fol-
lowing statement was obtained: THE
chapter has rendered DR.. Bratenahl
the honorary Office of dean emeritus
and has voted to continue him
as chairman of the Building Com
mittee and as iconographer of the
Cathedral. Furthermore, the chapter
has passed a special vote that because
of his record of service as uniquely
valuable as it has been diligent, faith
full and long continued, his retirement
allowance shall remain throughout his
life equal to his total present salary.
THE chapter hopes that at the time
of the deans retirement, or soon
thereafter. some younger man will as
sumo the duties of dean, to press vigor-
ously the spiritual work of the Cathe-
dral and further to relieve the Bishop
of many responsibilities in connection
with Cathedral matters and to give
Dr. Bratenahl more time for his in
valuable work in planning the Cathe-

RY THE time they had arrived and
entered the Office Burke had out
lined his recent life; his leaving college
because of his parents, his wanderings
about the country. his strong desire to
see other lands. The stranger thought

inner Office.
I'D help you if I could" he said,
just because you're so much like my
boy was. Wait here and I'll see what

peared and placed plain envelope in
Burke's hand. Give this to the
purser and good luck!" Burke
stared at the envelope unbelievingly.
A job at last! He thanked his bene-
factor and hurried out the door.
Half an hour before sailing time he
arrived at the dock, breathless from
his long, hurried walk Now for the
nappiest moment of his life. when he
would present his credentials and get

A HEAVY hand fell upon his shouI-

wrenched free from the watchmans

asserted. The watchman was unim-

commented as he inspected the en-
velope. Just another one of your
young buns tricks! Get out of here
now before have you thrown in the

chagrin. He surely couldn't fail now
because of the stupidity of a watch
man!
But I tell you got it from the
shipping Office" he pursued desper-
ately. The watchman pointed toward
the gate.
Get going" he barked succinctly.
Burke went; there was nothing else
he could do. Some time later he stood
staring through the wire netting Of
the wharf fence at his dreams vanish

tugs guided it through the bay.
Slowly he tore the envelope and
dropped 1t to the dock planking. On

It was understood that Captain

Soaked in the rain of a violent
typhoon, a hillside stretching
above the poor Chinese quarter of
Hongkong suddenly tore loose to-
day. sweeping huts and trees be-
fore it and burying alive, it is
feared, at least 100 Chinese.
The toll of the avalanche will
prove only a part of a huge loss of
life resulting from the typhoon that
blasted across the China Sea from
the Philippine Islands and struck
the South China coast with all its
roaring fury.
The fate Of scores Of Chinese
junks and larger ships remain in
doubt, and the British-owned
steamer Summing ran aground out
side Hongkong, but all her 40
passengers were rescued. Called
to the scene by the Slmning's
SOS, rescuers ran life lines
through the raging surf and one
by one the passengers were hauled
ashore.
Damage In Hongkong, Canton,
and the other populouS Centers of
South China was terrific, and
houses, trees, and telephone poles
in the surrounding country were
blown down. Many other ships in
harborS and rivers were cast
ashore.
