THE C. IA u. C0NVENTI0 n
To Be Held in Chicago on
August 9--The Pre-
parations.

Preparations are making for the hod-
ing of the twenty-ninth annual conven-
ton OF the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union of America in Chicago on August 3
It is expected that the approaching con-
vention will prove one of the largest and
most interesting assemblages of the de-
votes OF total abstinence ever held in
the United States. The union now num-
hers 50, 900 members.
One of the principal features of the con-
vention will be the celebration OF the
fiftieth anniversary of the arrival in New
York of the great apostle of total abb
stinence, Father Mathew. Father Mathew
reached New York just fifty years ago
last Sunday. He was met Town the bay
by a committee of the most prominent
citizens and was formally received by
Mayor woodruff and the Common Coun-
ell. For two weeks he held levees in the
City Hall, and was the guest of honor at
numerous public and private functions.
After leaving this city, Father Mathew
visited the principal cities in the United
States, in each of which he was entertain
ed in the most lavish manner by citizens
of all shades of religious opinion. In
w dc1tkLiS tOA Ic WAS ~ q SS@- ~
both Houses of Congress. an honor never
accorded to any foreigner up to that time,
save General Lafayette, and was the
guest at a banquet rendered to him and
fifty others by the President Of the United
States. He remained in this country for
two years and a half, and, although he
had come here broke in health and for
the purpose of recreation and rest, dur
ing that period he travelled over $1,000
miles While visiting twenty-five States
and pledged more than 100000 persons,
Rev. Father Alexander P. Doyle, Grand
Secretary of the Union, said last week
the details of the Father Mathew
celebration at the Chicago convention of
the organization have not been fully ar
but will be Of an elaborate and
appropriate character. In order to en-
nance the interest Of the member OF the
union in the principles laid down by
Father Mathew, the Executive COMMITTEES
has offered two prizes for the best two es-

new HILL CHURCH
First United Presbyterians
to Build at Sip and
Tonnele Avenues.
PLAN or THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE
1t Will Cost About $25. 900
Of which $1,000 is in Hand
Among the Churches.
or THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE

A.
within a short time ground will be
broken at sip and Tonnele avenues for
III erection OF a handsome brick church.
T3lfs Will be known as the First United
4 Presbyterian Church, which intends, when
he new church is ready for occupancy,
to move upon the Heights. The present
location of the church is on Barrow street,
between Newark and Railroad avenues,
which building has been used for about
4 quarter Of a century. This property
was sold about three months g to
George A. Wood, and the site at Sip
and Tonnele avenues was purchased.
The reasons for these steps are many.
The present house of worship is far from
meeting the requirements of the large
congregation md the rumbling of the
trains passing over the elevated structure
on Railroad avenue also causes the wor-
shippers much annoyance
The price paid for the new site was
$500. It Is located on the Boulevard, the
property being triangular. 1t is proposed
10 build the church fronting on Tonnele
avenue. It will be of Indiana cut stone.
HI sides are to be of polished yellow
speckled brick, trimmed with terra Gotta.
The seating capacity will be about four
hundred in the body of the church and
q large gallery viii be built in the rear.
There will be a commodious lecture room,
class rooms, a pastors study, and a ladies'
parlor, all on the ground floor. It will
be possible, according to the plans, to
throw open the folding doors and turn
lthe whole building into one large audi
forum, with a seating capacity of about
