CHURCH STATISTICS.
GROWTH OF RELIGIOUS DE-
NOMINATIONS LAST YEAR.

Numbers. Over One Hall. or 46S. 900 Being
Accredited to the Catholic Church. Protest.
ant Episcopal Church Stands Next in Line.
and Aeeessions We're Mainly from Other De-
nominations-Some Interesting Facts.
Statistics on the growth of the
churches of the United States in 1901
and the order OF denominational rank
in 1890 and 1901 have been completed
by the Rev. DR.. H. X. Carroll, who
was in charge OF the religious statistics
Of the United States census OF 1890.
At the end of 1900 there were o.
36O,6lO members OF all churches in
the United States, according to DR..
Carrolrs figures, and 2S,19O,637 at the
end OF 1901, gain OF S3O,027, or 2.67
per cent, or greater than the gain in
population. 2.lS per cent. the annual
rate OF increase in population from
1890 to 1900.
The Catholics lead with a present
membership of 9,5lS,74l, a gain of
46S,083. DR.. Carroll rates the increase
in Roman Catholic membership a.
too high, and regards the figures as
those of the growth Of several years in
a large portion of the dioceses. The
percentage OF growth in the Protest
ant Episcopal church, 4 per cent, Er.
Carroll regards as large. 1t is next to
the Roman Catholic church, the larg-
est growth Of the year, and was great
est in the eastern cities. The acces-
sions to the Protestant Episcopal
church were from Methodists, Presby.
terians, Baptists, Congregationalists
and other denominations rather than
from the non-church public.
The Disciples Of Christ, whose mem.
bership is almost wholly in the middle
west, has almost doubled its followers
since 1890. Of Christian Scientists
DR.. Carroll says that he took his sta.
tistics from the mother church at
Boston, while his figures are much
less than some Scientists claim. The
statistician found % different kinds of
Lutherans in the United States. The

increasd but 16,50O. Last year, how
ever. many evangelical movements in
which the Metbodists were interested
were undertaken and it is clsimed
that 100000 new members were
brought in. 1t is DR.. Carroll's belief
that there are 100000 in or about
Utah, and it is stated that 65, 600 con-
versions we're made last year by ]. 400
missionaries from the East. A fact
brought out by DR.. Carroll is the ten.

what the encouragement. There are
12 kinds of Presbyterians. In 1900
the 18th kind had emily one minister

still faithful. and probably will remain
90. They call themselves Reformed
Presbyterians in the United States
and Canada.

VI. C. T. u. in Racine and KenOsha
to Revive Old Plan for Gospel
Temperance Meetings.
DR.. MAUDE SANDERS PRESIDENT
Convention Adjourns This Afternoon After
Most Interesting Session-An Active
Campaign Against Drink Planned.

HaYe you ever worn blue r1DDOn
Well, if you haven't you will have to
get one in the near future or else be
classed with the crowd of men that
are in favor of saloons and bar rooms.
The members of the W. c. T. u. in
Racine and Kenosha counties at the
business session Of the convention de-
cided that the two counties should be
reorganized and that some effort
would be made to save the boys and
girls from the power of the saloon. In
order to do this the old time pledge
will be called into service again and
the boys and girls will be asked to
sign it and put on the blue ribbon. 1t
has been many years since the Gospel
Temperance meeting was feature of
religious work in Kenosha county but
the new organization of Racine and
Kenosha counties threatens to bring
back this old plan to enlist the friends
of temperance in fight against drink.
The convention today has been more
largely attended than Tuesday and
many people have come in from the
towns of the county to assist in the
business. The first business meeting
of the convention was held this morn
ing and the Inter County Organization
was formed by the adoption Of con-
stitution and bylaws. The election of
officers followed and the following
were chosed:
President-Dr. Maud Sanders, of
Racine.
Vice President-Mrs. W. W. Stew
ems, of Kenosha.
Corresponding Secretary-Mrs. M.
A. Paddock, of Racine.
Recording Secretary-Miss Eliza
Getting, of Bristol.
Treasurer Hattie Fox, Of
Pleasant Prairie.
DR.. Maude Sanders, who has been
elected President for the District, is
deeply interested in the work of tenn
perance, and in speaking of the plans
for the work of the association she
stated that an effort will be made to
organize unions in every town and
settlement in the two counties. A
special effort will be made to reach the
children, and through them the older
people. For this reason meetings will
be held especially for the children. At
present there are but seven societies in
the two counties, but as there are more
than thirty churches it is thought that
the number Of unions will be greatly
increased.
The convention closes this evening
with special service for the children
conducted by Mrs. I. w. Black, of
Racine.

Many Factory Buildings to Be Erected
in Ken0sha During the Next
Few Months.
AN IMPERATIVE DEMAND FOR MEN
When New Factories Are Ready to Open
There Will Be No Laborers With
Which to Man the Machines.

Kenosha is promised quite factory
revival during the next few months
and if present plans are carried out al
most every factory in the city will in
crease its force during the next few
months. The Chicago Rockford
Hosiery works new building is rapidly
nearing completion and the agents of
the company are securing the State to
secure workmen to fill up the branches
in the new mill The Jeffery and
Meiselbach companies are daily ad-
ding to their number of employees un-
til at the present time it is almost i'm
possible to secure any laborers in the
city. Besides these present demands
the Simmons Manufacturing company
has announced its intention Of build
ing an immense building, the usual
amount of building will take place at
the Allen tannery, the Badger Brass
company will build a new factory
building and the Chicago Brass COM
pany will make several extensions and
additions.
There is no doubt but that the build
ing trades in the city will have an in
tensely busy season and many men
will have to be secured from other
cities in order to make the work posi-
BILE. But the greatest problem that is
confronting the manufacturers is how
to secure men to fill up the factories
after the additions have been made.
For some time the demand for men in
Kenosha has been largely above the
supply and all the efforts of factory
managers to get men to this city have
| failed.
| It is claimed that with the opening
of the new factory buildings fully 800
women and girls could find employ
ment in Kenosha. The factory man
ayers have talked of building homes
| for the workmen, but this plan does
not seem to appeal to them and some
other will have to be tried.
Kenosha must have men to work her
industries and the factory managers
are willing to accept almost any prac-
] tical plan that suggests itself.

Illustrated Lecture on City of Florence.

Illustrated Lecture on City of Florence.
The lecture at the Unitarian church
Tuesday evening by Rev. Marion Muir
doch was treat to all who heard it.
The city of Florence is one of the
charmed spots of Italy to the tourist,
and Miss Murdoch spoke of it as one
who has studied its wonders and who
loves its masterpieces of art. She pic
tured its golden age of painting and
sculpture and showed the city against
it's background of mountains with its
splendid castles and picture galleries.
In Florence are to be found several
of the most beautiful of Raphael's Ma
donnas, some of the finest paintings of
Titan and Botticelli, and many great
works of sculpture, such as the Knife
Grinder, the Venus de Medici, and
some of the masterpieces of Michael
Angelo. The lecture was finely illus
trated with stereopticon views, which
presented both the architectural beau
ties of the city so well described in
Romola, and many of its finest works
of art. Miss Murdoch is fine speaker
and her lecture gave great pleasure to
those who were present.

WIEsMANN DENIED RIGHTS.
County Judge slosson Refuses to Allow
Attorney to Appear In His own Behalf.

Attorney TO appear IN HIS OWN Benalf.
The cup of bitterness for old Henry
Wiesmann, the Union Grove attorney,
was filled to the brim this morning
when Judge S1osson refused Mr.. Wies-
mann the right to appear in his court.
Wiesmann was declared insane in
the court several months ago but Judge
Slosson had been very 1enient with the
old man and in the past had allowed
him to come into the court without
molestation. Today he appeared as
his own attorney in his suit to collect
claim of $11OO from the Michael
Ziehen estate and the judge informed
him in kindly manner that he could
not consent to his appearing in the
court.
Wiesmann was greatly worked up
over the matter and declared that the
judgment of the court declaring him
insane was without value, and the
judge told the attorney that he would
have to make his charges more formal
and before some competent court.
It is probable that some effort will
be made to have Wiesmann committed
to the asylum.
