ST. M1ouAEL'8 CHURCH.
The most imposing ruins seen on tho North
Side after the great fire were those Of church
On tho corner Of Linden and Hur1but streets.
There we're those who characterized these ruins
aa the grandest in the city, and others who had
gone the rounds Of tho Old World, said that
they had seen nothing more imposing. These
we're the ruins Of st. n1ichael's Church,
the cornerstone of which mas laid
on the 4th Of November, 1866, by
Bishop Duggan, and which was completed
two years after at an expense Of $500 Its
builders we're Messrs: Wallbaum d Thomas
Strange to relate, the fire. while destroying every
ycstiPe of woodwork shout the great building,
did not iuiure scarcely brick, but left the mas
rive wills, abutments, towers, and long w1n-
dows all intact. The Society is now rapidly
rebuilding the edifce, with no material changes.
The additional cost will be $50 600.
This church is about 200 feet long and 100 foet
wide, and is in one single room, making it the
second largest if not the largest single church
room in the city, and giving it q seating capacity
OF about 5000 persons There Is 20 attempt at
display and ali the fnishings will be plain. It's
marvellous features are its vastneea. The wallis
are 70 feet high in the clear, with windows
reaching almost to the upper line. It's
three grand entrances are from tho
north end. though there are others
,or total Of about 5000 souls. The Superior Of
the Church is the Rev. John De Dycker, who
has associated With him five assistant priests,
whose names are the Rev. Fathers Mayerus, Ro-
.senbauer, Peter, Hahn. and schngeman. In
charge of the Church is the st. Miohaers School,
under the care Of the Sisters OF Notre Dame at
Milwaukee, Wis, which numbers j. 100 scholars,
and, also, large Sunday School OF 1.500 schol-
ans. It is proposed to complete the great building
by next September. It will be the first Catholic
Church rebuilt since the fire. This denomina-
tion lost four churches Oh the North Side, the
st. Joseph's (German), on Market street; Church
of the immaculate Conception Qrish), on Frank
Lin street; Church OF the Holy Name the old
Cathedral). on State street, and st. Michael's.
These will al be rebuilt as soon rs it can be
done.
It is marvellous to observe how doctors will
differ. The Northwestern Christian Adrocate,
The organ OF the Methodist Church IN the North
west, has lately very fully explained 3 it's views
ca]y inspecting the character Of those contained
