The work OF renovating and improv-
ing ST. Matthew's church is progressing
rapidly, anG six weeks more time viii
see the building ready for services. To
say that the improvements. especially
in the chancel, are handsome, does not
express the situation. The changes
wrought can hardly be described. The
work on the altar is all completed at
present, but for the smoothing of.
A hand-carved reredos supported on
cluster Of gothic columns of Sienna
the chancel. All the work in the chan
eel is in gothic style. 10 keep in touch
with the construction of the church.
The centerpiece Just behind the altar
table is magnificent and strikingly odd.
1t is a panel of Sienna marble with a
mosaic border. The entire piece is sur
mounted by a carved apex. The apex
in turn stands between two tower sup
ports, surrounded by carved minarets
and crockets. On either side OF the
reredos raise two towers of exactly the
same design. The altar proper is sup
ported on six columns, independent OF
the reredos. The credence table is sup
ported by CORDIAL in high relief cary
ing. The entire work is in marble, at
once handsome and costly. The panels
of the reredos are in Norwegian marble.
The chancel floor is in marble tiling,
tresselated pattern. The walls are
wainscoted with cone stone to the floor
of the organ loft. A wall OF cone stone
surrounds the chancel on the side to-
wards the auditorium. The stone work
In the chancel extends about twelve TO
fifteen feet in height.
The scene presented from the gallery
is magnificent one. The whiteness OF
the imported stone work. shaped into
column and tower effects, dazzles the eye
almost until it seema as ii one looked
afar off onto the housetops of the White
City. The evening sunlight entering
from the west windows, striking upon
the centerpiece of Sienna marble. casts
a soft yellowish glow over all, softening
the somewhat dazzling whiteness OF it
all.
The work of construction is very
tedious, and while the greater part OF
the WORK is done, ii will be six weeks or
two months before services can be held
in the church. The remainder of the
church will BIZ, renovated TO the roof.
Between the squares Of heavy oak stud
ding, panels OF yellow pine. in it's nat
ural state, will be set in in order to
brighten up the auditorium more.
The handsome new organ will arrive
next week. 1t was built by Midner &
Sons, of Brooklyn, and when set up will
be the largest in this section of the
country. 1t is to be tubular pneu-
matte organ, set up overhead on both
sides of the chancel. The keyboard
desk Will sit twenty feet from one part
Of the organ and forty feet from the
other part. 1t will be a large concert
and church organ, ana the keyboard
will contain three rows OF keys with
seventy-two stops.
Under the organ on one side will be
a music room, and the corresponding
space on the opposite side will be the
clergy robing room.
When all improvements are complet-
ed St Matthew's will have become the
handsomest house of worship In the
State.

TINE and PLACE FIXED
FOR WHAT WILL be THE BIGGEST
u POLITICAL MEETING OF THE
CAMPAIGN
TO BE ADDRESSED BY BRYAN.
The Meeting VIII Be Held ON the
Wharf Next Thursday Night-Other
Details to BE Announced Later.
Democrats Are Organizing In the
Several Districts.

There can be little doubt that VII
liam Jennings Bryan will address the
biggest local political gathering OF the
campaign, weather permitting. when he
visits Wheeling next Thursday night.
Democrats are waking up all along the
line and manifesting great interest in
the coming of the presidential candi-
date. There will be meetings for or
ganization in several districts to-
night, and others will be held on Mon
day and Tuesday evenings.
Mr.. Bryan's itinerary in West Vir-
ginia is published In full in another
column. AS heretofore stated, he will
speak in Parkersburg m the after
neon, arriving in Wheeling about 1880
o'clock in the evening.
The local committees considered a
great many suggestions relative 20 che
proper place for holding the meeting,
and chose the place which appeared
to be most satisfactory. The new and
old fair grounds and the base ball
park were all considered, but there
were a great many objections on &C
count OF their comparative inaccessi-
bility.
In order to accommodate the great
est number the committee finally de-
cided to hold the meeting on the
wharf. 1t is the most central location,
and the arrangements to be made by
the committee will enable upwards OF
ten thousand people TO get within
range of the voice of the eloquent
Nebraskan.
A large platform will be erected on
the lower part Of the wharf, within
few feet of the waters edge, and the
speakers will face the east The grad
ual slope of the public landing will
afford all an excellent opportunity to
see the speaker, and 1t is thought there
will be no difficulty in hearing him.
The excellent suggestion has been
made that the merchants along Water
street should scatter a number of cart
loads of tanbark among the eobble
stones, filling up the depressed places,
and deadening the noise made by the
moving feet of the throng.
It will not be the first big political
gathering on the public landing. On
at least two previous occasions public
meetings have been addressed from
stands located on the shore, and one OF
these meetings referred to was re-
markedly successful.
There will probably be no parade
in connection with the meeting for
the two-fold reason that the Clubs are
not uniformed or drilled as yet, many
of the districts not organized, and be-
cause everybody will want to hear
Bryan and will not care particularly
about street demonstration.
Further details are in the hands OF
State Committeeman r. S. Kincheloe,
and will be published as soon as an
nounced.
