Still Another Fine Church:

| Improvement in church architecture in
Pittsburg is as notable as in that of business
and private houses. Plans for the Catholic
church of st. John the Baptist have been
drawn by Architect j. w. Opperman. Al.
though of moderate size,it will be one of the
handsomest church buildings in the city. 1t
will cost about $65,000 and occupy a COM
manding site on the corner of Third and
Liberty streets. 1t will be 65x12O. Stone will
be the material used, twill be surmounted
by two towers and will have three entrances
| in front. The roof VIII be of tile in the
Romanesqua style. The interior will be
plain but effective. Work on this building
will begin as soon as the strike is over.
Mr. Opperman stated yesterday that work
in his line was rather slack on account of
the strike, but he believed that by the begin
ming OF fall there would be decided change
for the better, as a large number of people
who have purchased lots were anxious to
get building on them as soon as possible.
