..s.e..ssA BEAUTIFUL CHURCH
The, Church of the Holy Cross Has
. Sew n Been RedIaf.nrated So.

Been IIcOCCOrdUCQ. .N''s-
The Church Of the Holy Cross has
been in the hands Of a,Workmens since
proyengnta which maEe t One H 81 the the
largest and most beautiful Catholic
churches in the city. The Holy. Cross
church.. of which Rev, H. III. Jajeski
is pastor, is. on Fourth street and Sew
enteenth avenue NE. The building
has been reshingled and painted and
,ingithe interior galleries have been
built around. the sides Of the church,
increasing its seating capacity by 220
and ding considerably to the beauty
of the building. The walls of the
church have been white for eleven
years and 1t rs "a great qualification
to the people Ito view the paintings
and frescoing which now adorn 1t.
It Is estimated that these improve
ments have cost the church about
$4,000.
The scheme OF decoration on the
interior is most happy and the blend
lng of color very effective and har-
monious. The walls, except those
about the altar, have been done in a
soft shade Of pastel green, with a
border about the height of the gall
leries in browns and rich autumn reds.
The pillars supporting the galleries
are entWined with conventionalized
design of autumn leaves. About the
altar tapestry is painted, prominent
in the design being the. Polish eagle.
The workmanship Of this portion is
particularly fine. Above this the dull
er colors gradually blend into a sky
blue, sprinkled with silver stars. In
the highest point Of the dome appears
large oil painting representing the
coronation of the Virgin.
In the main body Of. the church
there are fourteen paintings on the
slipping sides of the ceiling. These
medallions are done in watercolor and
represent the mysteries of the holy
| rosary, each picture in order telling
a part Of the story, ending with the
coronation, which is above the altar
The paintings are pleasing in concep-
ton and effective in execution. The
firm Of Cordella & Boehme have had
charge of the decorations. J.. E. Hu-
bert painted all the walls. Andreas
| Petersen, who has done the greater
| part of the painting. has done some
especially fine work, and to Ernest
Fhorsen also is due much credit.

BOYS NARROW ESCAPE

and Broke In.
Guy Winter Baker, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. w. Baker Of Seventeenth ave-
nue. Sc, had a thrilling experience
and narrow escape last Sunday. Mr..
and Mrs. Baker were visiting friends
in Oak Park, and while the older peo-
pie were visiting in the house the
children went down by the lake. The
ice seemed thick enough to hold them
and the children ventured on it, but
Guy was holder than the others, went
too far out on the lake and broke
thru. The frightened children
screamed and the chilled and drip
ping Guy screamed. Their combined
calls brought several men to the spot.
It was. out of the question for them
togo on the ice to where the boy was,
and had it not been for his presence,
of mind and his promptness in doing
as he was instructed, it would have
been impossible to save him. He
broke the ice about him. however, and
in that way worked toward the shore,
where an anxious group awaited him.

Vocation and Avocation.

As the vocation is that which calls a
man day by day, the avocation is that
which calls him away from his chosen
task and necessary pursuits. that which
turns him aside from the beaten path.
There are not few illustrations of the
avocation proving. in the long run, the
better, the more desirable, the more truly
remunerative Of the two, says writer in
the July Cosmopolitan. This country will
long recall with gratitude the great SER
vices rendered in its behalf by Edward
Atkinson, economist and statistician, So
biologist and humanitarian by avocation;
by vocation, an accountant. No one may
doubt that the name of Stedman, the
poet, the man of letters. will continue a
household word, standing for all that is
charming and sympathetic, yet intelligent
and discerning in literary work and criti-
cism, long after our children have for
gotten that he was a banker. The avo-
cation of Elihu Burritt-lingulstic re-
search soon outran the vocation of black
smith, though he carried the title of
Learned Blacksmith" to his grave. Pc
ter Cooper was never so deep in his bust
ness as to forget or to slight his almost
lifelong study of the needs of the youth of
New York OIty. When Abram Hewitt
died, many were surprised to know that
he had been a great and successful iron
master, so thoroughly had his avocation
OF public service overshadowed his origi-
nal calling. Robert Grant turns from his
honored position on the bench and Weir
Mitchell from his marvellous success in
his chosen profession to delight US with
word pictures in fascinating tales. Exam
pies could be multiplied almost without
number Of those whose power and infiu-
ence have been enlarged, whose hold upon
the confidence and esteem of their fellow
men has been strengthened, and whose
lives have been most remarkably intensi-
fed by the results of constant and faith
full devotion to an avocation wisely chosen
in their earlier years-New York Com
mercial.

1t was decided that President Richards
should appoint a committee of fifteen
members of the congress whose duty it
should be to induce as many members of
the mining congress as possible to visit

charge of this committee. The commit

gratitude for the manner in which he had
given his services during the past year in
the furtherance Of the interests Of the
American mining industry.

members. making a total of 7S9 legally en-
titled to participate in the proceedings.

MINING CONGRESS
ENDS SESSION
Portland Chosen for It's
Meeting Place for
Next Year.

DEADWOOD, 8. D.. Sept. 1.-THE
American Mining Congress to-day re-
elected ]. H Richards of Boise, Idaho,
president of the coming year, selected
Portland, Or, as the place at which to
hold the annual session in 1904 and ad-
journed.
The recommendation of Portland as the
next meeting place came in the form of
motion by Mr.. Patterson of Omaha, and
no other city was suggested. Professor
y. A. Holmes, chief of the Bureau of
Mines and Mining of the st. Louis exposi-
ton, who came to the congress with the
purpose of endeavoring to secure the next
session at st. Louis, seconded the motion,
and Portland's selection was made unani-
nous. A particular brand of enthusiasm
peculiar to mining men which the mere
presence of such a great number of rep
resentatives of the mining industry from
all parts Of the United States seemed to
show could not be lacking here but which
had not characterized the earlier days of
the proceedings, to-days interesting ses-
sions showed had only been lying DOR
mant or working beneath the surface. 1t
only needed a spark of life to ignite it
and set the congress aglow with typical
miners ardor and adjournment came with
every one feeling the greatest satisfaction
in the results of the sixth annual session.
OFFICERS ELECTED.
The following ticket for the ensuing
year, the unanimous recommendation of
the committee on nominations, was elect

Several resolutions were adopted, among
which was one to recommend to the leg
islatures of the several States and Ter
ritories the enactment of laws to afford
better protection to life and limb of per-
sons employed in and about mines. The
subject of increasing the membership in
the congress was brought up by Richard
c. Patterson of Omaha, who succeeded in
arousing the first burst of genuine en-
thusiasm during the present session and
whose presentation of the purposes of the
organization and the essentials to its
future progress had the effect of adding
Immediately a score Of new permanent
members to the congress, for which the
congress rendered him vote of thanks
President Richards expressed the con-
