st. Matthew's Church Unanimously in
Favor of Erecting Handsome
New Building.
THE PLANS ARE BEING MADE
Parish Has Also Started q Movement to
be Changed TO Provide More Room.

The members of st. Matthew's
parish met in special session Tuesday
evening for the purpose OF discussing
the plans for the building of a new
Guild hall. A ma jority of the members
attended the meeting and the decision
to proceed with the building of the hall
was unanimous. The plans are now
being made. The building will be
modern in every way, two stories in
height, with commodious basement.
In the basement will be located large
dining room together with a kitchen
This room will be designed especially
for the social meetings of the church.
On the main floor will be located the
Sunday school room, the rooms for the
use of the Guild and a chapel for the
weekday services of the church. On
the second floor will be an auditorium
with seating capacity of 400 people.
The estimated cost of the new building
is So 500.
AS result of the decision of the
Parish to erect the building the Rec
tor was empowered to appoint COM
mittee to raise funds for the work, and
it is expected that sufficient money
will be collected at once to insure the
beginning of the work before the close
of the present year.
Other matters of interest to the
members of the church were taken up
at the meeting, among them being
new plan for seating the church, in
order to make the side pews available.
For this purpose it is planned to
change the location of the ais1es on
the sides of the church, so as to place
them closer to the center of the church,
thus making all the pews of nearly
equal value. 1t is the ultimate plan of
the Parish to make the seats in the
church free to all. For many years
regular sittings have been sold, but in
order to make the church open to all
the Parish will seek other means of
obtaining funds beside the sale of the
pews.
The members of the church are ex-
ceeding1y enthusiastic over the new
plan, and there is little doubt but that
the new building will be erected dur
ing the present year.

SUES FOR SKELETON.
Chicago Woman Wants Back the
Bones Her Hubby Sold.
Traded IL Tor q Ton of CoaI-Purch.ser
Declines to Restore IL and FAM
ily Peace without stin Conn
Rensatfon.

The Chicago Daily News says that
while his wife was away one day he
traded a skeleton, which she had had
since her college days at West side
medical school, for a ton of coal.
Now she is going to sue the coal deal
er because he will not return the
memento Of her former days. The
coal man, turning a deaf ear to the
pleadings Of the husband that family
peace be restored, puts q good price
on the skeleton. And the neighbors
about the Bowden home in Rhodes
avenue, near Thirty-seventh street,
have an interesting topic of gossip.
During the honeymoon several
years ago, they relate, Mr.. Bowden
came home early one afternoon, and
the scene that greeted his vision ha.
never left his memory. The parlor
was covered with bones from two in-
complete skeletons, and down on her
knees, engrossed in completing one,
was his bride of two months. He
quietly left the house and went to
the nearest restaurant.
1t was bit dark when, returning.
he stood at the front door flirting with
the keyhole. Once inside the house
he glanced furtively around from
room to room in search Of the hideous
combination of bones Mrs. Bowden
had retired. With hating steps he
descended to the basement, where he
was to fix the furnace before retir-
ing.
In corner OF the stone foundation
q gas jet burned dimly. Tremblingly
he FASTENED to turn It up, and just as
he passed the furnace he bumped into
the skeleton suspended from the
timbers above. With a shudder and a
groan his arms invoiuntarily frightened
about it, the fastening gave way, and

Prison BREAKING.

The GIT of prison breaking is anon
the raress OF human gifts. Jack Shep-
pard, for instance, was born with the
genius OF escape, and it is unlikely that
the best instruction would have i'm
proved his genius. The handouts which
could inclose his wrists were never
forged; no wall was ever built that he.
STRIPPING as he was, could not batter
down, and the barest cell his guardians
could prepare always contained what
ever materials were needed for his e.
cape. Latude, whose ssPpssed perse-
cution wac a support to the French rev.
olution, possessed Jack Sheppard's tall
emit in less degree. It was rather
GOODNESS than ingenuity which enabled
him to escape the restraints imposed
by a severe government, and the IA
nous rope ladder was not all of his own
making. The worst is that, pretty as
the gift is, few men of distinction have
the opportunity Of exercising it. The
prison breaker toe sften bushes I'M
seen because there are no walls for h i'm
to scale. But for once talent and oc-
casion met in Capt. Aylmer Haldane,
whose escape from Pretoria is among
the most brilliant exploits of the Boer
war.-London Spectator.

Representatives of the Liverpool
School of Tropical Medicine who went
to Nigeria recently to study the
causes of malaria have sent homo
word that a new Indictment must be
framed against the disease-breeding
mosquito. According to this informa-
ton, not only malaria but the terrible
disease called elephantiasis, which Is
characterized by enormous swelling of
the glands, is conveyed to human be-
ings by their gray-winged tormentors
from the swamps. This disease not
only affects millions of inhabitants of
tropical countries, but also frequently
attacks European residents in those

not hear beekeepers telling stories
against the dahlia nowadays, but II
was decidedly suspect in former DAYS.
Authorities held that the cultivation
of the dahlia was quite incompatible
with successful bsekeeping. The bees,
1t used to be said, were rendered drunk
and incapable by feeding on the honey
OF those flowers; some would die from
the effects, while those that recovered
made little or no honey when they ar
rived home at the hive.-London Ex-

QUEER FIRE STORY.
Flames Extinguished with Fine
Old California Claret.
when the Water Gave out q Re-
SOurceful winery Owner Attached
the Hose to Great Watts of
Rare ZinfandeI.

A great fire was put out with wine In
southern California recently. 1t hap
pened that the water had given out, but
there was .'lenty of the fluid usually
held in higher esteem. Strange to say,
the wine proved very effective fire ex-
tinguisher.
This incident is described in an inter
esting article in the Scientific Ameri-
can.
The FIRE recently occurred near the
town of Wrights, in the Santa Cruz
mountains, south of San Francisco.
Here the fire was started, as in many
instances, by an irresponsible rancher
who was burning brush. The wind
sprsng up suddenly and swept the
flames into the forest, and in q very
short time fierce wall of fame was
rushing up the west slopes Of the coast
range, carrying destruction before it.
The mountains were covered with q
hne growth of old oaks, mazanits and
Observation-Disclosures in the country
which fell like straw before the de-
stroyer. The walls of fame swept to
the summit and descended into the
canyons, following these rivers of YER
dure In and out. rushing on in an ever
increasing volume.
In the pathway of the fire were the
ranch and Mare Vista winery of E. E.
Meyer, one of the largest winemaking
establishments and vineyards in Santa
Clara county. To protect it and the
homes in the vicinity the people Of the
surrounding country assembled en-
masse, organized themselves in to an eff
fcient body of fire fighters and began
campaign in which striking acts Of
valor were performed. 1t was impos-
sible to stay the flames, and as they
went rushing down the canyon toward
the winery destruction OF the valuable
property seemed inevitable.
Trees in advance were cut down,
bitches Of earth dug, and every ex-
