PaImy Days of schweinfurth Said to Have
Been Profitable.
George Jacob Schweinfurth. who has
recently quit the fake Messiah bust
ness at Rockford, found it profitable in
other days. He now advises all OF
his followers to take up Christian
Science. He forshadowed this action
q year ago when he gave out an inter
view stating that he leaned strongly
that way. Jacob must have made up
his mind that the Messiah business
did not pay, though he raked in the
shekels hand over fist for q few years,
had farms and horses and lots.
His star began to wane when Chi
cago man secured Judgment against
him for $50, 600 for breaking up his
home and Schweinfurth was com PEELED
to schedule out to escape the ludg-
ment. This colony was originally
known as the Beekmanites from its
leader, Mrs. Beekman, wife of Con-
gregational minister who settled in
Bryon years ago. When she died her
mantle settled upon the slight but
capable shoulders of Schweinfurth,
who was a member of her flock and
he has made the sect famous. But
now he says that it is all over.

PLANS FOR A CHURCH
Sacred Heart Congregation TO
Have Handsome Place
of Worship.
TO BE BUILT OF PRESSED BRICK
Only the Foundation Will Be Put
In the Present
Season.

Plans for the Sacred Heart church
to be erected on Twenty-eighth street
and Fifth avenue are being prepared
by Architect Stauduhar. The build
ing will be located at the northwes
corner of the block facing north and
will approach within 20 feet of the
sidewalk The outside dimensions
are to be 1872 feet by 90, feet at the
towers or transepts and 81 feet in the
main body. There will be two towers
at the north end, the one on the west
side 156 feet high and the one on the
east 1856 feet. The material used will
be pressed brick and Bedford sand
stone. The Gothic style of architec-
ture is to prevail and the structure
will be both commanding and attrac-
tive, as we'll as one built for the CEN
turtles. The interior will be finished
elegantly after the Romanesque plan.
Modern heating and lighting appar-
atus will be installed, and nothing
making for comfort and conven-
fence that can consistently be
put into a building of it's character
will be omitted. Owing to the diff
Guilty encountered in moving the rec
tory and preparing the site, great
part of the building season has been
lost and only the foundation will be
attempted this fall.
Moving of Rectory.
The moving of the rectory was an
undertaking of no mean order, and a
man who has made himself famous
in similar enterprises, Harvey Sheeler,
of Chicago, was brought here to do
it. The rectory is one of the oldest
buildings in the city, having been
built in 1913 by Ben Harper. 1t is 2
story brick, 40x34 feet on the ground.
1t was raised two feet and moved 30
feet east without sustaining the least
injury. Contractor G. j. Larkin ex-
cavated the cellar and placed the I'M
derpinning, and now one would never
dream that the building had spent
half century in any other than that
identical spot. A concrete walk has
been laid to the sidewalk in Fifth
avenue and the yard is now being
brought to grade. When the i'm
provementS are comp eted, Sacred
Heart church. with its setting of
great trees, will stand in beauty aud
durability second to none among Rock
