tCOCCOSCOS'^CCCOOSCOOCCOCaOOOOOOOOCOSiCOSOOOOOOGOOOOOCOI HISTORIC COLOGNE CATHEDRAL FALLING. Cologne. Cologne cathedral, the glory o! tko faraous Rheniffh city, la in a really dangerous ctato. Recent ly several pieces of carved stone fell to the street and passersby lmd many narrow escapes. The central portal of the cathedral was immediately closed. Since then great blocks of masonry have fallen away and more serious damage is feared. A commit tee of architects was summoned and scaffolding erected. From this the architects made an exhaustive ex amination and discovered that the masonry of both the chief entrance and the south entrance is loose and has crumbled to such an extent that THE COLOGNE CATHEDRAL. the two portals were in danger of falling. Should this have occurred the damage might have been enor mous. The facades have been shored up and the work of restoration will be at once begun. Rain is believc-d to have hastened the crun'ibling, but the architects blame the German Roman esque builders of the Thirteenth cen tury, for the columns are found not to be solid pillars, but pilasters or piers. Of these at least 400 blocks are found to be loose. Cologne cathedral is almost as well Itnown in the United States as in Europe. It took over 600 years to DROVE STAGE IN OLDEN DAYS. Miltcn Gowdy • Frequently Carried Lincoln as a Passenger. Bloomington. 111.—Milton W. Gow dy, of Rock Island county, is the last survivor of the group of men who drove the stage coaches in Illinois before the advent of the railroads. He was born in Tennessee in 1533. At. the age of 19 years lie secured em ployment as driver with Frinfc 112; Walker, the firm which controlled nearly all the stage lines of Illinois and adjoining states and had the con tract for carrying the United States mails. Mr. Gowdy drove the stage for many years between Peoria and Springfield and frequently carried Abraham Lincoln as a box-seat pas senger. Mr. Gowdy was never mo lested by robbers, although on one occasion he hauled 5200,000 in gold from Pekin to Peoria. It is doubtful if even among the railroad officials of to-day there can be found any who possess greater energy and executive ability than did Prink & Walker, whose stage lines covered the entire west. As the country became fitted up with set m Q x ■; .. ——— •*" MILTON GOWDY.

The old-time coach has passed from sight arid almost from the mem 3ry of man. Mr. Gowdy, the last of the old-time drivers, has four chil dren, two In Mobile, one in Tremont and the fourth in Springfield, Mass. Reversed. Jason —Many a wise word is.spoken in Jest.

The cathedral is ac knowledged to bo the finest piece of Gothic architecture in the world. There have been modern critics, who, while conceding its beauty and term ing it a noble and impressive example, still declare it disappoints because the compass had been too much for the creative genius. The cathedral stands on the site of a previous structure built in 814, but burned down In the twelfth century. In 1248 the present cathedral was begun. The choir was finished in 1322, the-nave in 1390 and the south tower in 1447. Then came centuries of neglect. In 1796 the French army used the cathedral to store hay in and also stripped the leaden roofs in order to make bullets. In 1823 an attempt was made to renovate and complete the structure, but little work was done until 1842, when the work was seriously taken in hand. The final touches were giv en in 1880 and on October 15 of that year the completion was celebrated by a service at which the kaiser, William I, was present. The building has cost over $10,000,000. The cathe dral is 440 feet long and the famous spires, the highest in the world, are 528 feet. The central portal is 93 feet high a'nd 3l feet wide and the south portt.l 38 feet high and 18 feet wide. These are the two portions r.t present in imminent danger. In shape tlio cv lli.'i'i >1 is a cruclf' rm basilica. There are two choirs, the eastern dedicated to St. Peter, the western to St. Mary. Surrounding the choirs are eight chapels. A feature of great beauty is an external gallery around the apse. The reputed bones of the legendary three kings of the east are preserved in a golden shrine in one of the chap els, which are used as the cathedral's treasure vaults. The chapels also con tain the tombs of several of the arch bishops. The narrow, crooked streets, con taining houses of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, have been oblit erated from the neighborhood of the cathedral, which now stands, reveal ing all its beauty, in the center of a fine, open space. Soipe year or two ago it was hu morously stated in the German press that Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan was ne gotiating for the purchase of Cologne cathedral, desiring to remove it bod ily to the United States to take tjie place of the Anglican cathedral of St. John the Divine, now slowly build ing in New York city.

Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts —Hands Pinned Down—Miracu lous Cure by Cuticura. "When my little toy wn six months old, he had eczema. Mhc 3oren extenu |el so quickly over the whole body that wo at or.ee called in t!io doctor. We thep went to another doctor, but he Ojjtild not help him, and in our despair *e went to a third one. Mat- I ters be;amo so bad that he had regu lar holes in his cheeks, large enough to put a finger into. The food had to be siveu with a spoon, for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as a finger, and whenever he opened the mouth they began to bleed and sup purate, as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest and back, in short the whole body w«s covered over and over. We had ho rest by day or night. Whenever he was laid in his bed, we had to pin his hands down; otherwise he would scratch his face and make an open sore. I think his face must have itched most fearfully. "We finally thought nothing could help, and I had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to Eu rope, hoping that the sea air might ; cure him, otherwise he was to be put I under good medical care there. But, j Lord be blessed, matters came differ- | ently, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. ! We made a trial with Cuticura Soap, ; Ointment and Resolvent, and within j ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided improvement. Just as quickly as tho sickness had appeared it also began to disappear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, 1 and his skin was smooth and white as never before. F. Hohrath.
