WICHITA CATHEDRAL.
Bishop Hennessey is Consulting With
st. Louis Architects.


Wichita, Kan, Aug. 30.-The Beacon
says:
Bishop ]. ]. Hennessy returned few
days ago from Michigan, where he was
yesterday for ST. Louis where he will
consult with the architects who have
in charge the plans for the new cathe-
dral to be built as soon as the details
can be arranged Satisfactorily me
general plan of the new structure which
will be erected on the half block be-
tween Lawrence and Topeka avenues
on Central avenue virtually has oeen
adopted, but the details and the exact
style of the architecture OF the exterior
have not been decided upon definitely.
The bishop is hating between two
planS-One, a pure churchly style, goth-
ic in design. somewhat similar to the
large cathedrals in this country and
very similar to the large ST. Patricks
in New York city; the other, the Ro-
man Basilica style and the plans show
that this building would resemble St
Peters at Rome. In fact the outline
and the tower effects are very much
like those of the cathedral The plans
of both these designs are much alike
as to the interiors and are just about
what the bishop wants.
Whatever style is decided upon, the
new building will be a great addition to
the notable structures of the city the
cathedral is to be built of br1ck ana
will cost in the neighborhood of 100000
as Bishop Hennessey has placed that
limit to the expense of it. 1t will be
erected to accommodate at least LOU
people without any crowding of the
aisles and when they are filled as is
the case at the present building at all
the great church festivals, 1,500 to 1880
people can be accommodated. The Pro-
cathedral now used, has a seating ca
pacity of only 500 and always is taxed
to ITS fullest extent at ordinary ser
vices. At all church anniversaries the.

GROWTH OF SOCIALISM
In the United States Watched With

New York, Aug. 30.-Emile Wander
velde, leader of the socialist party in
Belgium who has arrived here ac-
companied by Senator Houseau to at
tend a meeting of the inter-parlia-
mentary union in st. Louis next month
declares he is watching the growth
of socialism in America with keen in
terest There is no occasion for alarm
over the spread of social revolution,
which he says, is in progress here to
even a greater extent than in Europe.
AT first in the nature of an i'm
portation from Germany" he contin-

pear to have been spread to a con-
siderable class of those who call them
selves native born Americans.
During the last five years espe-
cially the movement seems to have
gone forward by leaps and bounds un-
til now 1 find many Americans who
1 have met admitting their belief in
many of the doctrines of socialism
whereas ten years ago they would have
as soon thought of calling themselves
anarchists.
"In Europe there is no opportunity
of anything but a peaceful revolution,
the military powers are too strong. In
the United States there is the OPP
portunity but, / think, not the desire,
for any such radical measures. But
though the movement is of slow
growth, it is certain and the day will
come in the lifetime of the young men
of today when this country will be
ruled according to the doctrines which
socialists teach.

many. and the trusts, which 1 hear
so many persons speaking of as a

declared yesterday by attorneys to be
TIE most remarkable divorce action
ever brought in any court will be
heard before Justice Blanchard, of the
Supreme Court, next Wednesday,
when the suit of a husband, who is
asking for q divorce from his dead
wife, comes up for trial. The suits

Seventh avenue, against his wife, the
late Maude Mary Middleton Petit
grew.
Though. Attorney George Robinson,
of No. 80 Nassau street, who repre-
sents the husband, has received in
formation that Mrs Pettigrew is
dead, he will ask the court to grant
the divorce on the ground that it is
undefended and that the court has
no proof that the wife is not still lv-z
ing.
The suit for divorce was begun by
James Pettigrew more than two years
ago, and for a year an effort was
made by private detectives and sub
poena servers to serve upon Mrs Pet

in the action. They traced her from
place to place, but were always too
late. One night the subpoena server
followed her to a restaurant and wait

ing the place the woman's escort held
off the subpoena server while she
jumped into cab and escaped. After
that experience she left the city and
went to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and it
was in that city she is said to have
died June s.

Lawyer Robinson obtained an order
of the court to serve her by pub1ica-
ton, and when, after the allotted
time, She did not file an answer to
the suit it was placed on the calendar
of Unattended divorce actions. The
hearing has been set down for next
Wednesday.
A few days ago Mr. Pettigrew re-
ceived supposed transcript of the
certificate Of his wife's death. This
Transcript has not been properly Ger
titled and Pettigrew fears that it is
another plan of his wife to block the
divorce proceedings.
