Committee of Members of ST. Matthew's
Church Ordered to Secure Plans
for New Structure.
1T MAY BE BUILT THIS YEAR.
New Building Will be Two Stories, With a
Commodious Basement.-Fundst to be
Raised During the Summer.

St. Matthew's Episcopal church is to
have a new Guild hall, and today the
preliminary measurements were made
which will enable the architects to
begin the work of drawing plans for
the new structure. For many years
the old Guild hall has proved itself
inadequate to the demands of the
ladies of the church, and efforts have
been put forth to have new building
built
The movements crysta1ized at re-
cent meeting of the Vestry, and
committee was appointed to have plans
dra wn for the new hall. AS yet the
plans are in an embryonic state. The
building will be about forty by sixty
feet in dimensions, with two stories
and a commodious basement. It will
be equipped especially for the uses OF
the ladies of the Guild. The large
room on the first floor will probably be
fitted for use as dining room, while
| the basement will be used as kit
chen.
On the second floor will be large
| pail, TO De uSSO 1OT Inc O1uSIGul CulSA'
tainments given by the ladies of the
church. This room will probably
have a seating capacity of several
hundred, and will be fitted up in the
most modern manner. The plans are
to have the entire building equipped
with all modern improvements.
The funds for the erection of the
proposed building have not as yet been
raised, but the prospects are exceed
ing1y bright that the funds will be
raised during the summer. Since Mr.
Mallory took charge of the parish the
financial condition of the church has
so improved that Il seems only reason
able to expect that the money for the
new hall will be raised with little diff
Guilty,
| A short time ago it was announced
that one of themembers of the parish
had agreed to give 1000 to be used
for the erection of Guild hall, and il
is supposed that the gilt Will be forth
coming when the work is started. Ac'
cording to present plans the cost will
be in the neighborhood of $4,000.

Judge Fish Again Holds the Injunction
Against the Street Railway
Company Valid.
MUST SEEK HIGHER COURTS.
Papers Are Ready for an Appeal of the
sha Street Railway Company.

Judge Fish again decided against
the Kenosha Street Railway company
in the Circuit Court at Racine this
morning, when he denied the motion
made by the defendants for a new
trial in the suit of Mary Hale Allen VS..
The Kenosha Street Railway company.
BY the decision of the Court the in
junction granted against the company
will stand until it is removed by the
Supreme Courts of the State.
The case will at once be appealed to
the Supreme Court, and the papers
for the appeal will probably be sent to
Madison this afternoon or Thursday.
The decision of the Judge had been
expected by the company, and they
had already prepared for the appeal of
the case. At present it appears posi-
BILE that the case will be decided in the
Supreme Court by the latter part of
December, but it is claimed by the
railway men that the injunction will
not interfere with the completion of
the road, as they will proceed and
leave the gap in front of Mrs. Aliens
property until such time as the case
shall have been decided in their favor.
The recent decisions of the Supreme
Court in street railway cases seems to
indicate that the company will have
an easy fight in the higher court, but
there is question as to what issues
are involved in the suit, which may
make the fight in that court very
hard one.
The argument at Racine this morn
ing was most brilliant one. The at
torneys for the company, G. X. Nc
Dowe11, of this city, and Wallace In
gals, of Racine, had prepared long
argument in favor of the granting of
the motion for new trial, alleging
that the decision of the Court was not
in accordance to the evidence rendered
at the trial, and claiming also that
newly discovered evidence warranted
new trial.
John C. Slater, who represented
Mrs. Allen in the case, had been pre-
pared for this claim, and in brilliant
and convincing speech he replied to
the argument OF the defendants in a
way that was convincing to the Court.
The argument attracted to the Court
house nearly r1every member of the
Racine bar.

THE NEW BABY

Opens up a new world to the loving

Sudden Death of Charles P. Ticknor, Well
Known Kenosha Railway Man in Racine.
Charles P. Ticknor, one of the best
known residents of Racine and promi-
nent n railway circles in the North
west, was found dead in bed at his
home in Racine this morning. Mr..
T1cknor had been in usual health when
he retired last evening aud for this
reason the death was considered sus-
picious. A coroner's jury Investigated
the case and found that death had re-
suited from heart disease.
The deceased was one of the best
known railway men in Wisconsin and
had many friends and acquaintance
in this city. Some years ago he re-
sided at Oshkosh and was the general
passenger agent and auditor of the
Wisconsin Central Railway. A short
time ago failing health forced him to
give up his active work and he removed
to Racine to live. After the close of the
Spanish war Mr.. Ticknor was sent to
Porto Rico by number of Wisconsin
capitalists to consider the advisa bi1ity
of building railroads in Porto Rico.
He had been married but was di-
vorced from his wife short time ago.
His sudden death caused a profound
sensation in Racine and surrounding
cities where the deceased railway man
was we'll known.

HAPPY ZION.
Lace Works at zion city to be Started
within the Next Few Weeks

With working population of 400
Zion City is growing. The resident
population is a good deal less, for at
limited. There is great amount of
work being done but it is scattered
over so wide an area that what has so
far been accomplished makes but little
show.
Chief interest now centers in the
lace factory, which will soon be ready
to turn out its product. Eight huge
machines now occupy the long, low
building designed for their use and a
force of experts is engaged in fitting
together the more complicated parts.
It has taken weeks to unpack, clean
and oil the various portions of the
machinery. Each of the eight ma
8, 900 parts, many of these very small
and of the most delicate construction.
The labor of many skilled men has
been required to sort these out and to
adjust them in their proper place.
While no definite time has been set
for the beginning of operations in the
factory, the experts in charge of the
work declare that all will be ready by
the middle of June and it is fully ex-
pected that the machines will be turn
ing. out lace for the market before
July 1.
Hundreds of patterns of 1ace-a11
said to be of the latest design-and all
turned out by these machines in Not
tingham, England, last fall, form part
of the equipment in the factory. The
patterns range from the wide strips of
open mesh to the fi1my effects which
seem like cobwebs in texture. These
patterns are pointed as being of the
latest design and just now finding i'm
portation to this country from Europe,
| The weavers say they will find ready
market on this account alone and they
are enthusiastic to begin their 1abors'
The public is not welcome at Zion.
Strangers are halted by bluecapped
guard when they a1ight from a train
and the same man acts as pilot when a
visitors wants are made known. The
sightseer is not allowed in the build
ings and the people in charge are
chary of information concerning the
various industries contemplated or the
work now under way.

MRS. NATION NOT INSANE
That Seems the Opinion of the Topeka
Jury Which Tried Her,

Topeka Kan, May 15.-The jury
in the case of Mrs. Carrie Nation,
charged with joint smashing, last even
ing rendered a verdict of guilty. The
trial was before the district court and
sentence will be pronounced today. 1t
is the general impression that she will
be released on the payment of a fine
and costs. 4 The trial Of the case began
Monday. Yesterday the defense had
it's inning and made no effort to deny
the truth of the accusation.
An effort was made, however, to
prove that Mrs. Nation was insane at
the time Of the raid. The jury was
out only short time. The verdict
is a general surprise, as it was e1-
pected that the jury would disagree
or bring in an acquittal. Mrs. Nation
was convicted of breaking into Ed
Murphy's saloon one Sunday morning
last February.

midnight in Chinatown" the big
sensational me1odrama now being
presented in the East, will receive its
first production at the opera house

drama, there being but two Chinese
characters introduced, and these only
in the opium den scene. Sensational
situations and me1odramatic climaxes
follow rapidly in succession to the last
act, the curtain falling on one of the
most exciting c1imaxes ever presented
