IS CATHEDRAL FAR FROM DESTROYED Damage Mach Leas Than Has Been Generally Supposed, Says French Correspondent Paris, Oct 28.—After all, the Rheims cathedral haa> not suffered from Ger man bombardments and fire so mhch as was at first supposed, Cardinal Lu- con has told a representative of the Paris Intfansigeant. The cardinal an nounced that divine service .would be resumed in the cathedral from Novem ber i, but the holy office will be re stricted to the altar of the Virgin and the ambulatory around it These will accommodate only about 1,500 per sons. : The interviewer describes how he met the cardinal at Rheims in a sim ply famished apartment of the arch- iepiscop&l palace, with a shell hole in the wall. Cardinal Lucon, despite his 77 ears, is still hale and alert, and he is an optimiet "Destroyed, my cathedral? Why, no," he said. ’The . damage is much more easily repaiifehtortfifn is gene re ally believed. A fe&Mftcie&t parts, It is true, cannot tte replaced; but the ibeguty of. the cathedral lay, first, in Us.stgined.glass; .secondly, in its sculptures,' and thirdly in its statuary. “Of the stained glass, nine-tenths has been saved and brought to Paris. The remaining tenth can be restored by specialists, with the aid of much patience and a great number of colored photographs we have. As regards the which had been drafted by the minori ty members of the foreign relations committee. This called for the final vote on the Lodge resolution at 3 o’clock oq, Thursday of this week, and coqtaiaed the further provision that if the Lodge resolution failed to re ceive the necessary two-thirds vote, the senate should on Friday and Sat urday of this week consider reserva tions to be proposed by the democratic minority. * Senator Lodge objected to this upon the grounds that it wonld be writing a new rule for the senate to agree that after the resolution failed considera tion should be given to alternative reservations. He contended that the only way this could be done was by passing a motion for reconsideration. Dr. J. O. Rea vie, of Columbia, addressed a maw meeting held Sun- of the Third Red Crow Roll Call of Nov. 2-11th. He gave an inter esting sketch of what this great or ganization had accomplished in the past and then went into a full dis cussion of its present plans and work and the program it has out lined for its future activities. He made an earnest appeal for the Red Cross and asked a hearty co-opera tion on the part of all in the pres ent drive, deelring it to be “ a priv ilege to be a member of such an or ganization as the Red Cross’r"”* Immediately following his ad dress, the report of the (chapter’s nominating committee was read and adopted which resulted in the election of the following officers for the local chapter for the ensuing year: Chairman, Dr. D.

Many have had to be restored anyway in the course of centuries, such as for in stance, the large piece representing the Assumption. That was restored In 1875. "As for the statuary, we have <teo many moldings that it •will be easy to reproduce the damaged parts. The pil lars, with their oriiamental capitals, have suffered Httle; only the two side doorways have been badly damaged by fire." ‘‘Was there not some talk of leaving the cathedral as it was ” the reporter aaked. “If the evidence of Teutonic barbar ity have to be preserved, let them be kept in a private museum," replied the cardinal gravely. Muskegon, Mich., Oct. 28.—With fourteen known dead and six or more missing, only time can bring an accur ate count of the toll of the great'seas which early this morning bodily lifted the Crosby passenger steamer Muske gon, formerly the City of Holland, and smashed her to pieces bn the piers at the entrance to Muskegon harbor. The list of dead Is being add ed to almost hourly. The steamer, a slde-wheelet, bound from Milwaukee, after outriding a night of gale, made for the harbor in the early morning darkness, but is said by Captain Edward Miller to have struck the bar at the entrance. The wheel paddles jammed in the sand, checking headway, and the great combers threw the ship about and hurled her on to the pier. There she hung, momentarily, pounding into wreckage, and then slipped off into the deen channel, going down In fifty feet of water. The vessel lies a storm- tofn tangle of steel and splintered wood, effectually blocking the harbor entrance. Fifty of the 72 , passengers and crew, guided to safety by a single flash-light in the hands of a coast guard, were tonigth known to have beep saved from the vessel. It was feared several were caught between decks. Survivors, most of them es caped only in their night clothing, were being cared for by the Red Cross, while in the city morgues lie the bodies recovered. . » MEMORIAL CAMPAIGN HN THIS WEEK Jokii T.

As soon as he sustained the shock he was knocked backwards and would have fallen had he not been strapped to the pole. After re maining in this position for prob ably several minutes he was discov ered by passers-by who immediate ly removed him from his position and gave the alarm, but there was practically no evidence of life left by this time. The physicians of the city iwerif immediately sum moned and for more than an hour worked faithfully in the hope of saving his life but all restorative methods failed.

Later his body was removed to the local under taking establishment awaiting the edroners’ inquest, after which it ivas removed to his home oh Mus- grove Street.
