EDIFICE
Will BE GREATIM
PROVEMENT TO
THE SOUTHWEST T.
ERN SECTION OF
THE CITY

The new st. Hedwig Roman CathH
lie Church, at Linden and Harrison
streets, is rapidly nearing completion.
When completed IT will be the hand
soonest edifice i'm the city. The cost of
the structure alone will reach 100000
and an additional $4,000 will be ex-
pended on interior decorations and the
altar.
The general style Of the church is
Gothic. 1t was designed by L. Briel-
maier & Sons. of New York and Mil
waukee. who have been long identified
as leaders in Catholic church construc-
tion and whose many important pieces
of work are to be found in all the
States of the Union as standing monu-
ments Of the high artistic ability Of the
firm.
Church in Form Of a Cross.
The church is in the form Of a cross
and the interior is divided into three
naves; the side naves are separated
from the middle nave by ornamented
columns on which will rest the groin
ed arch ceiling decorated richly with
stucco beads and rosettes.
The length of the church is 13S feet
and the width 60 feet and 20 feet wide
middle nave is 40 feet and that Of the
side naves 30 feet.
The two lofty towers 135 feet I'm
height, together with the artistic en-
frances and large rosette window above
the gallery, viii ornament the front.
The foundation walls are built OF mas
sive granite blockv nnd the upper walls
of brick, with --'o-ted pressed brick
facing of gray llor. The walls are
trimmed with T cut Bedford stone
and galvanized iron.
The roofs are slated with the best old
Bangor quarry slate and the window
frames are provided for double glass
and the latest improved ventilators
The stained glass windows and electric
lights win add greatly to the beauty Of
the church.
There will be four confessionals IL

The brick work is being done by +
J. sharp. The cut stone trimmings ar
furnished by Henry Stewart and tn
plumbing and heating by Harry A
Miller. The painting will be done b!
James NJ. Bryan & Son.
The pastor Of st. Hedwig's is the Rev

his efforts that the new church becam
a possibility. The old church will b
transformed into a school and whei
the work on both structures is com
pleted the Polish Catholics will hav
one of the most valuable properties fl
the city.

Enthusiastic Meeting of Re-
publicans Held in Mill
Greek Hundred
SENATOR BALL Oh THE STUMP

One OF the most enthusiastic Repub-
lican mass meetings Of the campaign
was held az Hockessln last night and
was presided over by Francis NJ. Walk
er The speakers were William S. Hil-
les. United States District Attorney
John r. Nlelds and United States Scna-
tor L. Heisler Ball. =
odd Fellows Hall where the meeting
was held was packed and a large num-
Der were unable 10 get in the building
| Previous to the meeting there was a
parade. which was headed by the Ken
nett Square band. The uniformed
horseback Republican club OF Mil
Creak hundred and a large colored club
took part IN the parade.
William S. Hilles was the first speak
er and talked on both national and
state issues. He compared the affairs
I'm this county, since the Republicans
have been IN control, with the much
talked old Democratic times He ex-
planned in what condition the affairs OF
the county were during those times a9d
said the Democrats are now trying to
bring back those conditions.
Mr. Nlelds spoke entirely on national
issues.
Senator Balls address was princi-
pally on state affairs and he urged all
Republicans 20 support the Republican
compromise ticket. He stated that no
more has been done this time in taking
candidates Off and substituting others
than has been done I'm previous cam
paigns. To Illustrate Republican pre-
cedents In this respect Senator BAH re-
viewed Republican history In this State
since 1896 and showed that every time
there have been two separate Republi-
can tickets the Democrats have tri-
umphed.
Senator BAH said that he had stood
by Or. Chandler from the first and con-
tlnued to stand by him until negotia-
tions between the two committees
reached that stage where Il was clearly
apparent that he would not be ac-
cepted by the Union Republicans for
governor. and where TO continue ~ 10
stand unalterably by him would have
caused Republican defeat and Demo-
cratic triumph He pointed out that
Dr. Chambers ticket win not be on the
official ballot in Kent or Sussex coun.
ties, and asserted that Dr. Chandler
knows and has repeatedly said that III
does not expect to be elected. This at
