New Affairs of the Church Consecrated to
Ser2ice-Large Crowd In Attendance

st. Mary's Catholic Church Germ
was Respondent yesterday In its new st
and each of the services brought q lar.
audience. During tho past three weeks
wonderful changes have been made in it's
interior. and yesterday the congregations
were able to behold the handsomest Catho-
lie church, so far as the auditorium is con-
cerned. in Indiana. The church has been
frescoed throughout with admirable skill
and taste; there are three new affairs. one
large and two smaller Ones two new con-
fessionals and other additions that add to
the beauty of the furnishing of this temple.
The chief service was at 10 o'clock in the
morning, when the church was crowded,
about thousand persons being present to
witness the impressive ceremony of bles-
sing the new affairs and dedicating them to
to their sacred uses. This ceremony was
conducted by the Very Rev. Father Scheid-
eler. vicar-general of the diocese. Bishop
Chatard spoke briefly of the necessity of
beautiful houses of worship, and that the
church of Rome bad always given encour-
agement to nrt, believing that the service
of God should have the best of which man
kind was capable.
Father Scheideler then gave q history of
the raising of the fund for the changes and
decorations. He said the high altar in the
center cost 81, $50 and each of the two side
affairs $3.50, making total of 81. $50 for the
affairs. Mrs. Maus had contributed $500
for the purchase of the affairs, but when she
learned of the additional cost she assumed
that also. The fresc0 work cost 81, 500,
the chancel S2lS, the confessionals $500, two
pictures now being painted $50, making q
total of S2O6S This amount was raised by
forty five contributors ten of whom gave
500 each. There 10 balance remaining of
S107 and the pastor announced that the
members who had not previously contrib
uted would be called on. as thore was still
further use for money.
The sermon of tho morning was from
Genesis, twenty-eighth chapter, seven
teenth verse.

This morning the State Board of Equali-

the valuations of railroads and other cor
porations for the assessments. The board
will not be in session to-day longer than to
notify the corporations when they can be
heard. The Journal has il on reliable IN
formation that the Democratic members of
the hoard have determined that there will
be no backdown from the values fixed last
year. They claim that investi CATION b as
satisfied them that two or three short
branch roads in the State were assessed too
high las: year, and one or two main lines
had been assessed at too low n figure. In
the latter case the assessment will lie raised
TO offset the reduction made in the former.
At this time last year there had been filed
with the Auditor of State many appeals
from county boards of review. but MP TO
the present time none have been filed.
Several appeals will be taken, however.
AS a whole the corporation valuat ions will
remain the same.

The Pintsch Lighting Company, which

lines with gas for Illuminating their cars
is very largely extendingits system of sup

Toledo and Chicago, and Toledo and

be supplied from the same plant. The i'm
portance of the new plant may be appre-
ciated from the fact that it will probably
have to supply seventy-fye cars a day.
Recent tests made by leading experts in

show that the Pintsch system is from 81 to
