Kenosha Unitarians Are Planning to
Employ Miss Florence Buck as
Their Regular Minister.
HAS MADE A SPLENDID RECORD
Miss Buck, Who is Choice of Congrega-
tion, is One of the Best Kp own Ministers
of Unitarian Church in Northwest.

The Unitarian church of Kenosha,
which recently was rejuvenated, is to
take more active part in the church
work of the community, and IN the
near future a regular minister will be
employed to take charge of the work OF
the denomination in Kenosha. If pos
sib1e Miss Florence Buck, of Mi1wau-
kee, will be called to take charge of
the church and congregation. Miss
Buck has not as yet been formally
called, but she has been notified that a
call will be forthcoming as soon as she
is ready to go into the regular work.
The new minister is we'll known in
Unitarian circles. For many years
she has been in the active ministry
and in this time she has officiated at
several of the leading churches Of the
denomination in different parts of the
United States. For the last few
months she has not been employed at
any one church, but has spent the time
IN travelling and in making an effort
to revive churches in which the inter-
est has been long dead. She came to
hGQOSnd SOU1C lllI1C dSO DIS d supply ,
and at once made good impression
with the members of the Kenosha
church. Within few days the mem
bers of the church opened negotiations
leading to her employment as a regu-
lar minister, but at first she was 10th
to give up the mission work in which
she had served the church SO we'll.
However, it is now stated that the
prospects of her coming to Kenosha
are very bright, and she will be here a
week from Sunday and at that time
the matter will probably find final
settlement.
Miss Buck is a woman of great
power. She has Travelled extensively
and has written much of interest to
the church people. She is also we'll
known as a literary woman.
The church people of Kenosha will
be glad to extend to her hearty well
come to this city, should she decide to
accept the call to the Unitarian
church.

Jason Lothrop Starts the Erection of a
Large Creamery Near the City
of Ken0Sha.
DAILY CAPACITY OF 10000 POUNDS
Creamery will be the Largest Ever opened
in This County-To supply the City
With Milk, Cream, Butter, sc.

Jason Lothrop has closed contract
for the erection of new manufacture
| ing plant on the Sel1eck farm just
south of the city limits which promises
to be great benefit for the people of
| the city. The plant is to be mani
moth creamery with a capacity suffi-
cient to supply Kenosha and Racine
counties with milk and cream products.
The building will be completed by the
first of June and June butter is prom
ised by the former surveyor. The
main building will be forty feet by
| twenty-eight feet, of wood and stone,
three stories in height with a conmo-
dious basement. The new plant will
also have a large boiler and engine
room, and an ice house sufficiently
large to hold ice enough for the work
of the large creamery. The creamery
will be situated on an artificial lake
containing eight acres Of water space.
On this lake will be cut the ice to be
used by the company.
Mr.. Lothrop stated this morning that
the new company was formed for the
sole purpose of catering to the people
of Kenosha and Racine counties. The
plant will have a capacity of 10000
pounds of butter day. Besides the
butter product the creamery will plan
to supply the Kenosha dealers with ice
cream and in this department capac-
ity of 500 gallons day will be pro-
vided. In the past Kenosha users of
ice cream have been forced to make
their own cream or buy it in Chicago,
and the new plant promises to make
prices that will more than discount the
Chicago prices.
The company will also make bid
for the milk business of the city, and
within short time several wagons
will be on the street soliciting bust
ness.
Robert West1ake, of Salem, an ex-
perienced creamery man, will have
charge Of the creamery under Mr..
Lothrop, and as he has been connect
ed with successful plants in the county
this fact should assure the success of
the new venture. Later it is planned
to add cheese factory to the cream
cry, but at the present time this in
dustry will not be taken up.

A Boon For Builders.

Patent rights have recently been grant
ed George A. Turnbull, Chicago invent
or, on device for rolling expanded metal.
which, it is asserted, will revolutionize an
important feature of building construc-
ton. This metal is used as a substitute
for lathing on the walls Of buildings. 1t
has been found that the plaster will stick
to this more firmly than to wood, and an
absolutely freproof wall is the result.
Even in buildings of most recent construc-
ton laths are often used, but it is said the
invention OF, Mr.. Turnbull makes the
metal practical for the cheapest construc-
ton attempted either in the big steel sky
scraper or the small frame cottage. The
new device, it is claimed, will greatly in
crease the output Of expanded metal. !

PERSPECTIVE VIEW.

to be cheap, yet, with the parts well pro-
portioned, altogether an attractive feature
of the surrounding landscape. Construc-
tionally this house ranks among the more
COSTLY the materials being of good quality
throughout, experience having proved that
good, substantial materials and work are
less expensive in the end than fashy, per-
ishable ornaments.
The plan has six good rooms, besides
vestibule, pantry and numerous closets.
An admirable feature is the stairway.
Doors open into it from the parlor and
kitchen, thus making it available from
both front and rear. A cellar is provided
under the kitchen and dining room and
reached from the kitchen by stairs under
the main fight. The construction is
shown in the following abstract of the
specifications: The height of the cellar is
6 feet inches; first story, 8 feet; second
story, s feet, all in the clear. The cellar

Is excavated to depth Of 4 feet and the
loose earth used to grade around the house
at completion, leaving Is inches Of the
wall exposed to view on the outside. The
foundation is Of good hard burned brick,
laid in lime mortar, 13 inches thick for
cellar wall and 8 inches for foundation
walls The chimney is of hard brick and
mortar, laid with close joints and thin
bles where required.
The interior side walls of the two
stories are hard finished on two coats Of
best brown mortar and seasoned lath.
The frame is of sound timber, properly
framed, raised and secured. The studding
joists and rafters are spaced 16 inches
from centers. The joists are well bridged.
All window frames have seven-eighths
inch stiles and timber stills Of clear pine.
The sashes are 188s inches thick, glazed as
indicated on elevations and hung to bal

The German Census.

In taking her census Germany diff
fers from other countries in that she is
not content to number the people only.
For some time there has been a cattle
census, and on this occasion there was
further extension of the scope by
the institution of fruit tree census.
Fruit as an article of food and as a
luxury has, been steadily growing in
favor for a long time, and the govern
ment considers it advisable that it
should know its resources in this re-
spect A record Of forest lands is also
kept, and a yearly return has to be
made of the number of trees felled or
otherwise destroyed, and of the young
trees planted to replace them.

sis, with pantry placed in convenient
location and communicating with the din
ing room in the usual way. The pantry
doors are hinged so as to be self closing,
thus shutting off all smells from the
kitchen.
Some persons may object to this ar
rangement of rooms because there is no
direct communication between the hall
and dining room and that there are no
back stairs. These objections could easily
be overcome in the planning Of the house,
but would involve considerable extra ex-
pense, for an additional chimney would
be required and extra space for the stair
way and passage to the dining room
Since it is question of cost, we find that
this arrangement here shown is one of the
best for the amount Of money to be ex-
pended.
In the second story we have two large
chambers, one small bedroom, bathroom
and hall and four closets, which are indis-
pensable to comfort and convenience
These rooms all have direct communion
ton with the hall, which is another good

feature Of the plan. The bathroom is
placed directly over the kitchen, SO that
the supply and waste pipes have the short

A small storage room can be secured in
the attic, which may be reached by lad

The foundations Of the house are of stone

THE BISHOP OF DELAWARE
DEN0UNCES SCREEN LAW.
Thinks the House Acted With Pre-
cipitous Haste and Hope Senate
Will Defend IT,

In Specializing of luhe aetion of the
House of Representative i'm passing
the bill to repeal the anlti-screen law,
Bishop Coleman said:
i have observed with great surprise.
and even greater regret, ohat the House
OF Representatives-one is tempted to
ask respectfully representatives of
what ?-ialt Dover has passed the bill to
repeal THE act whereby 1T is forbidden
ITO screen THE windows of liquor sa-
looms.
With surprise, because | can have
mo idea of amy arguments whereby
such action can be defsnded by Those
who are acquainted with the merits of
the case. With regret, because such
action betokens an indifference ON the
part of our Legislators to the gross
evils associated with the liquor traffic,
especially i'm our large cities.
''It is bad enough to have these sa-
looms; but it will be still worse if the
safeguard is removed now existing
whereby their business lis required to
be conducted as other businesses are
conducted under the observation of the
passers-by.
''As lit lis now, by reason of this re-
quirement, many are deterred from go
ing in1o such places because OF their
being exposed to the gaze of Others.
And THE conduct of those that are
within these places of direful tempta-
tions lis apt to be less Objectionable for
the same reason.
II think now that my FELLOW citizens
are aware, by this acion of their rep
resentatives, of the power which is be-
ling exerted successfully agains. the
best interests of the community, that
they will AROUSE themselves to such
remonstrances amongst our Senators
as will prevent amy further Legislation
in a direction that promises so much
of real mischief to the community"
