Records Show That Father H. J,
Roche Receives no Salary From
St. James Church.
HE SACRIFICES ALL FOR WORK
Father Roche Not only Refused to Accept
His Salary but Has Supported the
Parish Come Prom His Funds.

ST. James Roman Catholic church IN
this city will occupy unique place
among the Wisconsin Catholic church
es in the future as it has been d1scov-
cred to be church, presided over by
priest who receives no remuneration
for his services. At the recent meet
ING of the trustees the treasurer or the
church presented his annual report
and this report showed that Father II.
]. Roche who has been in charge OF
the church for the past niue years has
given his services to the church almost
without any pay. Before the coming
of Father Roche 81. James church had
paid her pastor salary Of $500 year,
but Father Roche has refused to ac-
cept the usual salary and instead OF
having the church pay him TOR hts
services as a pastor, he has paid the
church while wisely serving it.
Father Roche was one OF the best
known priests in the state when he
was sent to Kanosha. For years he
had toiled in smaller parishes and had
enmassed a small fortune sufficient to
provide for his declining years. He
had asked to be sent to little church
at Co1um bus, Wis, but the Archbishop
failed to make the appointment and he
was sent to Kenosha When he came
to the local church he at once saw that
the church was heavily in debt and
he began to take steps to relieve the
Indebtedness. From the income OF
his little fortune he has made many
donations to the church and during the
past few months his gifts 20 The parish
have amounted TO over three thousand
dollars.
The treasurer of the church has
gone to him many times and asked
him 10 accept the pittance due 'i1m
from the church but Father Roche has
always stated that he was not III the
ministry for money but for he good
that he can do, and ordered The treas
urcr TO pay The debts of {he church
first. The balance sheet in Che hands
of the church treasurer shows that
Father Roche has not received one
cent of salary since February 1872. 1t
has been credited to him annually but
the debit side of his account has al
ways rema ined clear since that time.
Besides this fact Father Roche, out OF
his private funds, has borne all the e1-
penses Of keeping up the parish home
and has made many libcra' EQUATIONS
10 the different church societies iii The
state.
ST. James parish is Jude I'd fortunate
to have for is pastor man who seeks
to do all the good he can with no hope
of financial gain.

The New Baseball Rules.

The new baseball rules, Manager Hart
Of Chicago thinks, are just what the
doctor ordered. "Batsmen will have to
come up quick and watch what they
are doing" he explained. "They will
have to hit hard and straight, and that
rule on foul strikes will not hurt them
nearly so much as has been anticipat-
ed. If they can't bat in spite of those
rules, they will not do for fast compa-
ny. Bringing the catcher up is good
idea. Making the pitcher get into &C
ton in 20 seconds is also proper.
zone point in the rules has been mis-
understood. That is where it is stated
that the pitcher shall not throw the
ball to anybody but the catcher after
batter is at the plate. The critics have
been saying that base runners would
simply walk around, as all they would
have to do would be to go down with
the pitchers arm and that there would
be no chance to catch them. When
printed and ready for use, the rule will
state that it does not count when there
are men on bases, so that the pitcher
can catch his runners if he is clever"

HOW Our Legs Grow.

AS q fact our lower limbs are not
usually both Of exactly the same
length, though they are so for all
practical purposes. The left is usually
the longer, though the gait is not nota-
bly, Influenced by this fact. At birth
the lower limbs are shorter than the
upper, and their movements are rather
Of the prehensile type. eve are not
born leggy like the foal or kangaroo,
but we gradually achieve legginess."
The bones increase in length, not so
much by interstitial deposit as by adj
dition to their ends-that is, by pro-
gressive Justification of the layer Of
cartilage which intervenes between
the end Of the shaft and the epiphysis.
Justification goes on till the component
parts of tie bone are all united by bony
matter, and thus the stature of the
individual is determined.-New York

three years ago and 60 better than
Cochems'.
Herbert is a smooth faced, neat look
ing young man and of a general ap-
pearance that denotes anything but
strength. He was brought up very
carefully by his father, who was at one
time captain Of the Dartmouth base
ball team and who is a firm believer in
outdoor athletics. Herbert usually
trains for three or four days before
test, but for this last one he did not
train at all.
Herbert is much smaller and lighter
than most men who have done this sort
of work. He is feet inches tall and
weighs only 145 pounds. His rival,
Cochems, is taller and weighs 100
pounds.
Carver Of Yale, who has done 2,073,
took his test in harness, and so fair
comparison can hardly be made be-
tween the records of the two colleges.

VITALITY OF GERMS.
what Becomes of Them After The11
Victim Is Dead.

what Becomes OF Them After Their
Victim Is Dead.
In a recent number of German jour
nal devoted to bacteriology an interest
ing summary is presented of certain re-
suits attained by DR.. Klein in the
course of long series of experiments
made lately in which DR.. Klein en-
deavored successfully to ascertain
what becomes of disease germs after
the death of their victim. These ex-
periments had very decided practical
value, as the conditions which they
proved to exist dispose effectually Of
one of the arguments which has been
often used by advocates of cremation.
These latter have held that disease
germs could retain their vitality for an
Indefinitely long period in the buried
body and that therefore cemeteries, in
addition to being harmful because of
the decaying organic matter which
they contained, were positively dan
gerous because they acted as immense
storage reservoirs, for the bacteria of
the different diseases.
DR.. KIein's results correct this mis-
taken idea. In order to carry out his
experiments satisfactorily he buried
animals which had died from certain
known diseases, disinterred the bodies
at the end Of varying periods and ex-
amined the organs for bacteria.
The bacillus Of Asiatic cholera was
still living at the end of 10 days, but
after being buried for % no living
specimen could be found. The typhoid
fever bacillus was able to exist for
about the same length Of time, while
the germ which causes the brbonic
plague was able to survive an inter
ment Of IL days but was never found
living at the end Of three weeks.
The bacillus of consumption lives for
but a short time after the death of it's
victim. DR.. Klein always found it
without difficulty in the organs, but
was never able to obtain a successful
culture. What is perhaps Of even
greater Importance, he was never able
to cause tuberculosis by injecting the
bacteria thus found into the system of
a healthy animal

M1LwAUKEE MEETS DEFEAT.
Villas and His Eowlers Prove an Easy Prop
osition Tor the Kenosha Tear.

George Villas and his team of Nil
waukee bow1crs came to Kenosha Fri
day evening for the purpose of getting
even with the local bowlers for Two de-
feats in the past. The Milwaukee
bow1ers failed to accomplish their pur-
pose, however, and returned to Mil
waukee in the evening defeated and
disheartened.
Even the gallant George, who had
made good records in the past, was
forced TO give up, for the way the ke-
nosl1a men rolled made the Milwaukee
player seem not TO be serious factors
in the game.
The Kenosha boys won the first two
games by large margins, and when the
last game was over il was found that
the visitors had taken brace and won
the game by few points. The final
score was Kenosha 2311, Milwaukee
