Shaw to Mark Twain, indicating by a gesture that he was referring to a great congregation of English newspaper reporters who stood about him aud Twain In a great circle, "just asked me whether you were really serious when you wrote 'The Jumping Thus opened a brief conversation that the introduction of Mr. "Shaw to Mr. Clemens by Professor Victor H. Henderson. Mr.

Clemens had come over to England to receive a degree from Oxford university. Professor Henderson bad crossed with him on the Minneapolis and had come up to London with him on- the boat express. Mr. Shaw had come to St. Pancras station to meet Professor Henderson, who is an old friend of his, says a special cablegram from London to-the Kew York Times.

"Yes," Shaw went ou, "these pests asked me that, and I told them what I thought to be the truth." "No doubt," broke in Twain. "I'm sure that yon did uio full justice. I have every confidence that I was quite safe in your hands." "Certainly 3 ou were," asserted Mr. Shaw. "I told them that I had read everything good that you had written, ami I was able- to give them the fullbst assurauce that you always wrote seriously." "Mr.

Shaw." said Twain, "I assure you that I can return the compliment." With this Twain winked at the English journalists, who at once burst into laughter and somewhat disturbed Mr. Shaw's equanimity. He did not know that Twain was loaded Just as the merriment was subsiding. a. nondescript individual with a basket under his arm broke through the journalistic circle and invited attention to a young bull pup.

'Art' a guinea buys 'im, guv'nor," he insinuatingly remarked to Mr. Shaw. 'Arf a guinea, only two dollars 'n' 'art for the best bull pup in England. Larat one I've got, guv'nor." "I'm not an American," protested Mr. Shaw.

"Sell him to Twain. He has got American money." But Twain, although be deeply longed for the bull pup, resisted the temptation to buy. Directly he had got rid of the p'up peddler, ho bade good by to Mr. Shaw and moved to a cab. By that time he had been more than three hours under the examination and cross examination of tho newspaper men, but he was not tired.

He seemed to enjoy every minute of the time. In the course of the morning Twain gave out a new scheme according to which he regulated his daily life. lie asked the reporters to be very careful to take down his words accurately, as the publication of the scheme might be brought to bo helpful to others. "Every morning," said he, "as soon as I'm up. I smoke a cigar and then have breakfast at o'clock.

"My constitution is improving all the time." To the London correspondent of the Xew York Sun Mark Twain spoke of his voyage as follows: "My trip over was delightful. The captain was most courteous, but firm.

As I folt that he needed my assistance in running the boat I used to go up on the bridge iii a nice neighborly fashion wlieu he wasn't there-and tell the other officers what to This lasted just three days. At the end of that time Captain Gates came to me and said very courteously: 'Twaiu, this is the third time I hnve found that while I was lunching you have gone to tho bridge aud altered the course of tho ship and haven't told me about it. As it's up to me to get the Minneapolis to" Tilbury, would you mind quitting aud allowing me to earn my money "Of course after the man bad shown spirit Jike that it rather discouraged me giving him my invaluable assistance, so I let him ina.uage the ship himself. And souiehow-the "Minneapolis managed to arrive safely at Tilbury." Mr. Clemens' meeting with George Bernard Shaw gave him great pleasure.

"I like his he said. "I want to seo more of him." Some one suggested that it would be nice to have Mr. answer questions on Mark Twain's views and vice versa. Another with more acquaintance with Mr. Shaw said the latter would waut to do both, whereupon Twain spoke up.

saying: "That's oveu better still. It makes uie more anxious to meet him again. It would save me a lot of trouble if some one would pivo my opinions for me." Chamois For New Zealand.

The passage between the tropics was tho crucial stage of the voyage, but the chamois were carefully shielded from the heat and ornoryod without any loss save a temporary one of appetite.

ITIONftUllTHEDBnL Imposing Edifice, to Be Erected at Washington. WILL COST OVER $2,000,000. Church Structure of St. Peter and St. Paul i Be Larger Than Most European Cathedrals.

Lighting of Interior to Be Striking. Plans for the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Peter ami St. Paul at Washington, which is to be erected on Mount St. Albaus, overlooking the national capl- tol, have been approved by the cathedral chapter, composed of the bishop of Washington aud fourteen of the uiost prominent churchmen aud laymen of the diocese of Washington, says a Washington correspondent of the New York Herald.

Pians, which prepared by Henry Vaughn of Boston aud O. F. Bodley of London, have- been oil private view at the bishop's house. The proposed edifice when completed will have cost more thau The diocese already the ground. The small church, the and the buildings for the cathedral school near by represent investments and endowments of an expenditure of- nearly $1,000,000.

The building: will overshadow many or the European cathedrals. The total length will be 47tf feet and the width 135 foot. The central tower will rise 230 feet above the foundation. The interior has been planned to give the greatest amount of space possible within the four walls. The apex of the supporting arches will be ninety-three feet above the- floor.

The total seating capacity is to be 5,000, allowing au ample amount of space for each person, and of this vast audience 2,750 will be able to sec the preacher at the end of the uave, while- all can bear him. "In style the cathedral is. as was wisely desired, Gothic of the fourteenth century." say the architects, '-a style of architecture, as we think, the most beautiful that the world has ever seen. In its dimensions it will be larger than most of the cathedrals in England or oiihe continent. "The plan is that of nave and aisles, transepts, choir aud two chapels.

Double aisles are planned for the nave. These latter will be specially useful for monuments and memorial windows and tablets. The choir, terminates in an apsidal sanctuary. The building -will be vaulted in stone throughout. "The lighting of the interior is designed to have ii fine effect, being by ample clearstory windows.

The light, thus coming from so high a level, will be striking. There are lower windows in the aisles, but they are quite subordinate. Then there will be a striking effect of light in the sanctuary or eastern part 6f "We propose two chapels at the ends of, the choir aisles. The, south one could be the lady chapel and the other the chapel of St. Feter and St.

Paul, who -give title to the cathedral, or the north chapol could be the chapel of St. John the Evangelist, the two chapels thus symbolizing the scene of Calvary. An aisle terminating in a mere wall always has a poor and an unsatisfactory effect. It will be a great advantage to have chapels here at the eastern ends of the two aisles, epch with their screens aud altar In the reredos. "The bishop reminds us that as Washington cathedral is at tne capital of the nation and will inspire combined religions and patriotic feelings It would be well iu some parts of the cathedral if place could be made for statues, bas reliefs and other works commemorating groat American heroes and statesmen of the United States and historical incidents of colonial times and after tho Revolution which are dear to the hearts of the American people.

This could be easily arranged and suitable places found. "The site is a remarkably fine one, very commanding and beautiful. The cathedral will be a conspicuous object from the capitol aud other parts of the city. When complete, with its surrounding buildings, it will be 'as a city set on a "While the exterior surroundings of this lower part of the west end are massive (the richer part being kept for the top of the towers), 'whose glory Is In their the interior of this central portico can be rich aud stately and be made beautiful with its many figures and pictorially carved subjects. "Passing along the north side of the cathedral externally, we would speak of the height of the walls, the interest of the window tracery in the clearstory, the massive but not too heavy flyintc buttresses aud pinnacles, of the light and shade given by and the bauds of rich work in the outer aisle, of the molded plinths and windows and niches aud the carved canticles of the church's matins and evensong and the traccricd parapets.

1 "And now to enter the cathedral at the west through the great portico we have spoken of and through the shelter of the internal oak lobby. The first impression will be the continuous height of tho main or central part--nanioly. the nave, choir and apse. The next and nearly as powerful a one will be the width, for. with the outer aisles and the double range of columns on either side and the transepts, tho effect of the width will be considerable." Plan 1 for the cathedral have been under nsLlcration for ten years.
