for the new church which is under con-
struction on Sibley street, near the
present church.
Congregations First Picnic.
This is the first time in the history
of the congregation that a picnic is
being given for the purpose of raising
money for building purposes. The
building committee sometime ago in its
planning to raise a fund for the new
gram, and when the time arrived the
entire congregation put its shoulder to
the wheel Separate meetings were
held for the men and women in which
the work for the picnic was divided
up. John ]. Malloy, who is one of the
pillars of All Saints church, was ap-
pointed chairman of the whole affair.
At the first meeting several weeks ago,
Mr.. Malloy appointed his committees
for the various work. The bulk of the
work fell on the shoulders of the ar
rangement committee, but it was glad
ly taken up until tonight it can say:
we are ready for all Lake county to-
morrow"
Day to Have Many Features.
Among the leading features provided
for tomorrow's picnic are, good hand
music, athletic track events, double
header ball game between the K. C's
and the boilermakers, and a second
one between the K. Cs and a picked
team. Refreshments will be served on
the grounds as well as supper by the
Rosary society of the church.
Arrangements have been made with
