NEW CHAPEL AT WEST POINT IS DEDICATED

WEST POINT, N. Y.—The new chapel of the United States Military academy was dedicated the other day with impressive ceremonies, and the demolition of the old chapel already has begun. The new building is a beautiful structure crowning the mountain back of the old cadet barracks. The old chapel was built in 1836 when Sherman, Grant, and Stonewall Jackson were cadets. As it is torn down every stone will be marked and it will be reerected in the West Point cemetery, there to be used as a mortuary chapel. The old pews with their famous nameplates and the memorial tablets all will be replaced.
