Visitors at the new Catholic church,
which Is nearing compile ion greatly admire
the fine decorative work recently finished
on the interior by Barton's talented artist,
Mr.. B. Cannon. The design of the interior
is of Roman style architecture and the dec
orations correspond throughout. The
pillars and arches are treated in yellow
olive and delicate tints, set off by elaborate
bronze stripings. However the eye is at
once attracted to the ceiling and upper
portions of the walls, which are beautified
by emblems of the Roman church, some
fourteen in all and forming a wide border; ;
about the ceiling are panels centered by
the design of cross and rays. The deco
rations as a whole demonstrate the fine ar
tistic skill of Mr.. Cannon. 1t is expected
the church will be finished in two or three
weeks, and the dedication is planned for
the first of June.
