building is Oregon pine in natural color
trimmed i'm Bower-Barff iron. The ceiling
is finished in diagonaled panels and sup
ported by massive srusses.
The pulpit is situated on the east side,
back of which is the immense pipe organ
and the choir. This organ is one OF the
finest in the city, and is supplied with both
water and electric power attachments.
The pews are very comfortable, the aiSles
are Handsomely carpeted, and altogether
it is model auditorium. The acoustics
are very fine and the speaker can be dis
tinctly heard in every part OF the room,
there being an utter absence of anything
like those annoying echoes so common to
large halls.
The Sunday-schooI room is by far the
finest upon the Pacific coast, and tho most
perfectly appointed. 1t occupies struct-
ure by itself and so far detached as to rem
der il easily accessible apart from the main
building. Its situation affords the utmost
contact with light and air from without
and renders possible the most pleasing ef-
fects from within. The structure is provided
with the church kitchen and complete
set of living rooms admirably finished for
the occupancy OF the janitor. The main
Sunday school room is provided with
gallery in which provision is made for dl-
vision into small apartments for the use of
classes. The primary department Is en-
tirely separate from the large room.

of the main Sunday school room provision
is made for large fountain, which will he

The court which is intermediate between
the two structures, is made very attractive
by large fountain and by the presence of
a profusion of tropical plants and flowers.

Wherever real life is, there Christ goes.
And he goes there, not only because the
great need lies there. but because there is

which Christianity works the life of man.

The handsome new church edifice of the

In addition to the regular congregation
there were many visitors from the other

There was no special decoration in the

BILLY PATTERSON WAS Hit
No Oue stiOns Are Asked As TO Who
Did 1t
Not Content With Being Whipped He Wished
to be knocked Into the Adjoining
Township

WEST SUPERIOR. Wis, March Jim
mie Murphy of Chicago knocked out Billy
Patterson of San Francisco in the sixth
round this evening. The fight was vicious
one from the start. Tommy Madden of
this city acted as referee. Both men forced
the fighting and it was anybody's fight up
10 the fourth round. Murphy had been
forcing the contest and had landed num-
ber of wicked face blows. Patterson's
ability to take punishment was remark
able.
In the fourth round he was knocked
down, but rose and swung on Murphy's
neck with a blow which dazed the Chicago
man. Toward the end of the round Muir
ply recovered, and had Patterson on the
ground at the call of time.
The fifth round was hot one. Patter-
son tried the pivot blow and landed fairly
on Murphy's neck Murphy swung his
left and landed on the jaw, following it
with right-hander on the neck. Patter-
son went down like a log and just saved
/ himself from being counted out. he was
carried to his corner by his second and re-
/ vived.
The sixth round Murphy had Patterson
at his mercy. and pounded him at will,
finally objecting to the punishment he was
| infiicting. Patterson insisted on being
knocked clear out of the ring, but the ref
cree awarded the fight 10 Murphy.
The men fought under difficulties. The
determined action of the sheriff, under or
ders from Gov. Upham to stop the fight
caused change in the plans, and they had
to elude pursuit. The fighting party left
this city at = o'clock. The sheriff's special
train followed and the state line for ten
miles was patrolled. The main line of the
st. Paul and Duluth was followed TO the
station of Bowen, eighteen miles distant in
| Minnesota, where there was no interfer
ence. The ring was pitched on the ground
where the snow had been shoveled away.
