" The cathedral has had an interesting history, almost as interesting as that of the city of Reims, which dates hack before the Koman conquest. Reims was the ancient 'ap ital of the Komi, a Gallic tribe which made voluntary sub mission to the "Romans, proved loyal and became a favorite Roman city. Christianity was established at Reims in the third eenturw when the bishopric was founded. The Van dals captured the city in ll)l, and Attila the lluu burned it afterwards. Olovis. after his victory at Soissous in -ISo, was bap tised at Reims in HH, and subsequent kings desired to be consecrated with the oil of the "sacred vial," brought from heaven bv a dove for the France were crowned at Reims and popes and mouarehs. including Charlemagne, testified to its importance. The archbishop of Reims took precedence of all ecclesiastical peers of the realm and consecrated the kings of France, i I. i.i . . ... ii. . i ii i ii. . ..i..it....i ....i aim rue city oceanic in uie center of the nation. By the treaty of Toyes in 14120, Reims was ceded to England, but the English were expelled by .loan of Arc. who. in 1420 caused Charles VI 1 to be consecrated there. A revolt, due to taxation, in 14GI was ruthlessly sup pressed by Louis XL In the religious wars, Reims sided with the league, but submitted to Henry IV after Ivrv. In the Napoleonic wars it was captured and recaptured. In the Franco-Prussian war it was captured by the Ger mans, made the seat of a governor-general and impover ished by requisitions. The cathedral of Notre Dame, where many of the kings of France were crowned, replaced an older church, burned in 1211, on the site of tne basilica where Clovis was imp tised by St. Kemigius. It was completed, with the excep tion of the west front, in the thirteenth century, and this portion was later finished along the thirteenth century de signs. The voof and spires were destroyed in 14S1 by fire, but rebuilt, ami the facade and balustrade were repaired at a cost of $400,000 in the 70's. This facade was called the most perfect masterpiece of the middle ages. The three portals were laden with statues and statuettes. The central portion, dedicated to the Virgin, was surmounted by a rose window framed in an arch, itself decorated with statuary. The "gallery of the kings" above has the baptism of Olovis and the statues of his successors. Tho towers are 2G7 feet high. One con tains two great bells, one named Charlotte by Cardinal de Lorraine in 1570, weighs eleven tons. The facades of the transcepts are also decorated with sculptures, with statues of the bishops of Reims, with a representation of the "Last Supper," with figures of Christ, the prophets and apostles. The interior of the cathedral was 45 feet long, 5)8 feet wide in the nave and 125 high in the center. It had a pro fusion of statues and thirteenth century stained glass. It was hung with rare tapestries, with priceless paintings by Tintoretto, Nicholas Poussin and others, and adorned with carved woodwork and figures. The loss of this cathedral is the world's loss. Its de struction could accomplish nothing.
