BEAUTIFUL ROOMS.
Those In the Basement of the First
Presbyterian Church-Good,
Hard Work Done by
the Ladies.

Ever since the building of the FRS,
Prest yterian church, the beautiful
gray stone structure at the north ives,
corner of tenth and north A has had
beneath it "closeted skeleton in the
! way of an unfinished basement. The
men folks didn't feel so badly about
it, but the women, with truly womanly
instincts, felt as if the most casual
| observer could read the signs of the
times and tell after one glance at the
cupola that the cellar was unfinished.
Jast the same as one can tell the con-
dition of the kitchen sink by glanc-
ing at the front gate. 1t worried
them, and the plan to finish that
portion of the otherwise model
structure has been LONG in matur-
ing. Last spring the ladies of
the Ladies' Aid society said that un-
less some definite start was made moth
ing would ever be done. The vagues
ness of that stat ment, together witt
its uLdeniable truth, is also character
iSti0 al 4f R}A6eyuuu int possibility OF dis
pute. Accordingly the ladies got their
heads together and went to- work
They went forth to solicit, aud after
about four days of good, hard, ener-
getic and faithful work they had rails
ed the money. Then the actual work
began, and today the rooms are fin
ished ready to cook and eat in and to
receive company in too, if you please.
The kitchen is finished in cement and
rdwood, with everything modern and
shining. There are closets and all other
arrangements. There is good cook
ing range, a lavatory with modern
equipments, in short everything about
the mechanical part of the culinary
department to insure perfect work IN
the way of cleanliness and convenience.
An then the dining room, where the
dinner is to be served this evening, If
beauty. There is an outside entrance
to it that is almost palatial, the fiGor Is
of hardwood, the mantel is of pressed
| brick, there are pi lures and screen:
] fit for drawing room. there are gooo
| chairs and tables. there are beautiful
lights. there is everything that woule
| make it beautiful and pleasant. Tht
ladies have worked like Trojans, ant
| we'll have they been rewarded IN tht
elegance of the appearance OF every
thing. They were aided IN their ef
forts by the two other ladies' societie
of the church, and by the Hberality o
the gentlemen who helped them ou
when their own resources had been al
but exhausted. The improvement
cost between ST., 900 and So 90, all told
and over ST.. 100 of that amount wa
raised by the ladies, most of 1t by Oh
rect solicitation.

To Quash the Writ of Mandarin
Now Going on In Circuit Court
Before Judge j. NJ. Rabb-Ths
K asons Set Forth for Q flashing
Harris Here.
The case of David F. White VS.. the
City OF Richmond. to prevent the rails
ing of rates by the Richmond Natural
Gas company, is on trial in the Wayne
circuit court. The laeans of its COM
ing up was this:
When the case was first fled. an ap-
plicatlon was made 10 Judge 81. e. Fox
OF the Wayne circuit for an alternative
writ OF mandamus requiring the
natural gas company to con-
ply with the request of the
plaintiff in the matter of rates, or to
set forth cause why such compliance
was refused. Tee Judge issued such
writ, and the return was made today
IN the form of motion to qaash the
writ on the grounds set forth by the
defendants. The motion to aaash was
read by Mr.. Robbins this afternoon,
and the argument was begun. The
four reasons set forth why the writ
should, in the opinion of the defend
ant, be quashed, were as follows:
L. The writ was uncertain and in
definite, as it does not set forth or di-
rect the company at what price to cell
tte cir gas or what rate to establish.
Because upon the facts set forth
IN the petition and complaint, the
Judge had no power or authority to Is
sue such writ.
3. On the ground that the facts
stated in the petition and and CON-
plant are not sufficient to warrant the
issuance of such q writ.
4. That the facts stated do not con-
stitute sufficient cause for action.
The case will be argued from that
pro and con. today and to-
morrow. and it is expected that at the
end of that time the court will take the
matter under adyisement until some
time next week, or even later, as it is
a matter of some complication and
that will require careful work.
Attorney Harris of Indianapolis is
here toiay to work on the
ease for the plaintiff. and the
defense will be conducted by Jack
son 4 Starr, Robbins and Study, while
Mr.. Lindemuth will assist the plain
IS attorney. This way of bringing
u the whole matter, opening the case
] On its merits, was rather unexpect-
>. to the public. The case had never
