December IA, 1888, written at the time
Of the dedicatory services. The new
church edifice is slightly land
mark in our scenery, the gilded
cross on it's steeple rising 1873 feet.
The church is 52x110 feet, with vestry
l6x2S feet extending out at the rear on
the west side as sort of L.. The side
walls are 80 feet, five feet of brick and %
feet of wood work, and they are broken
with two rows of windows. Above rises

height OF the church Is 60 feet from the
floor to the top of the nave. The church
has pretty effect, its white walls and
shingled roof standing out neat and trim
alongside of the parsonage and the hall
in the rear, the whole being a striking
tribute to the faithfulness of Father
McCartan tohis work and to the zsal with
which he pressed forward these improve
ments in the face of many discourage
ments. The church is modern Gothic in
style and this pattern has been car ried
out in all the small details of the fresco-
ing and even to the carvings on the pews
and other wood work.
Ground was broken for the church in
October, 1881, and In December they
began laying the stone foundations.
Mass was first said in the completed
church on the first Sunday in August,
1888. The church has cost about
$25, 200, the old bell and organ being
moved down from the Street. The body
of the church will seat 800 and the
galleries 300, though more can be crowd
ed in on pinch. The corner stone of
the church was laid May z, 1882.
The church interior is sight worth
seeing. The light ash pews and gallery
front, the buff side walls, the pretty altar
with it's purple back ground, the light
gray ceiling forming harmonious whole
not easy to describe. The colors are not
loud, but blend in a cbaste harmony be-
fitting the house of worahip. The altar
is painted in imitation of white marble.
Its central spire is % feet high, with
minarets on each side and a lamb, rose
and lilly carved on the front of the base,
The stained glass window above repre-
sents Jesus and parents. Sacred en-
blems ornament the ceiling of the nave,
alternating on blue, red and green
ground. The IA stations on the side
walls, which add to the general effect,
were furnished by Benzeiger Brothers Of
New York and represent Jesus condemn
ed to death, Jesus receiving the cross,
Jesus falling for the first time, Jesus met
by his mother, the cross laid on Simon
Of Cyrenne, the facet of Jesus wiped by
Veronica, Jesus falling for the second
time, the women of Jerusalem mourning
over Him, Jesus falling for the third time,
Jesus stripped of His garments, Jesus
nailed to the cross, Jesus laid in the arms
OF His mother, Jesus laid in the sepul-
| chre.

for several hours or until II ceases TO
ferment. As 1t begins to ierment, stir
II occasionally, and when well iermented, ,
turn into clean glass or earthern jar.

OUIGG'S RELATION TO PLATT.

TO REMAIN AS COUNTY COMMITTEE PRESIDENT
But TO HAVE NOTHING TO SAY AT ALBANY.
Republican leaders in this city yesterday said
they did not believe that Lemuel E. Quigg would
attempt much meddling with legislation at Albany
Senator Platt had taken the trouble to give orders
not permit Quigg to meddle, because such or
ders were not necessary. 1t understood by the
leaders that the president of the Republican
County Committee in New-York County did not
represent Senator Platt in the State organization
and not authorized to speak for Senator Platt
any party measures before the Legislature.

He said the report that he had received a message
from Senator Platt regarding Quigg positively
untrue. Mr. Aids said he did not talk about
Quiggs interest in legislation. '1 don't know why
I should say anything about it, he said, "as Quigg
has not been at Albany since the opening of the

osity been expressed among politicians to the
reason for Senator Platt's apparent determination
to keep at the head Of the local organization man
who is not to be permitted to interfere with egisa-

some of the politicians that possibly Qugg knows
few things about Senator Platt's political methods

CUBAN REFORMS PLANNED
SECRETARY ROOT TAKES MEASURES TO
CORRECT PRISON ABUSES.

Washington Jan. 13.-Secretary Root mas
taken steps to institute at once sweeping re-
forms in the judicial system IN Cuba, the pur-
pose being TO correct soon as possible the
Cuban prison abuses which have already been
the subject OF representations to the War De-
partment. General Wood has been giving at
tention to this matter. and his investigations
into the condition Of the prisons and the faults
5f the Cuban judicial system generally nave
confirmed Secretary Root in his purpose to apply
corrective measures at the earliest possible mo-
ment
To accomplish this purpose the Secretary has
decided to appoint a commission composed OF
three Americans and an equal number OF Gu
bans This commission will probably consist OF
Horatio Rubens, z. L. Conant and Mr.. Runcie
for the American side. They are all lawyers
well versed In the Spanish code as well as thor
oughIy acquainted with American practice. The
Cuban members will probably be selected by
Governor Wood from among the members OF the
Havana bar. The commission will meet at the
earliest possible moment in Havana. and begin
at once a revision of the criminal methods, fol-
lowing this up later on with amendments OF the
civil code where necessary. 1t is not the purpose
to outrage local sentiment and disturb well
established practice except in instances where
rank Injustice fourishes under It. But it cannot
be tolerated that persons charged with the
smallest of misdemeanors ard petty larcenies
should languish, as at present, for year in
Jail before having any kind Of a trial, and 70
such abuses as this, as well to the incommu-
nicado system, the commission will devote i'm
mediate attention.
Mr. Rubens had a consultation with Secretary
Root to-day and left Washington for New-York.
He expects to proceed to Havana via Miami
next Wednesday.
