MEMORIAL WINDOWS
Seventeen Artistic Stained Glass Win.
dows Being Placed In Position
at st. Edward Church.
r1agnificent Altar VIII Also Re In
stalled in the Sacred Edifice
Within q Few Days.

The memorial windows for st. Ed
wards Catholic church have arrived
from the factory and are being placed
in position by Elbridge Anderson.
Every window is in itself a work of
art-the paintings show the touch of a
master hand and the colored glass
blends tremendously in it's variegated
tlnts. The acquisition of these
memorial windows, seventeen in num-
Der, will produce a marked improve
ment in the appearance of the church,
both within and without, and the
parishioners have every reason to feel
proud OF their place of worship.
When the proposition to Install
these stained glass windows was made
it received ready response from all
sides, and more windows were sub
scribed for than could be placed in
position. In consequence of this it
was decided to place a new altar in
the church and to use the surplus
money for that purpose. The altar is
expected to arrive here this week. It
is of white and gold and made in the
Roman style with a bas relief picture
OF the ''Lord's Supper" on the lower
panel.
The designs of the various win
dows, with the names of their donors,
are given hereunder:

LIVERY BARN BURNS
Good Work of Fire Department Saves the
Surrounding Buildings

Good Work of Fire Department Saves the
Surrounding Buildings.
Fire which started at about 9:45
O'Clock this morning destroyed the
frame part of the Kaliher livery
stable, but owing to the persistent
efforts of the fire department the brick
structure connected with the barn and
facing on Main street was saved.
How the fire originated is unknown,
but it was first discovered by Thomas
Kaliher, who with Mack McKinnon,
was engaged in sweeping the stable.
Mr.. Kaliher's attention was suddenly
called to an outburst of fame in the
hay NOW above and he Immediately
turned in an alarm. The two men
then with all possible speed, COM
menced to unite the thirty horses
which were in the stable and for
tunately managed to remove them
from the building and turn them loose
in the street. By this time many
men arrived and assisted in removing
the buggies and other vehicles which
were in the front (brick) building to
the street.
The fire department arrived prompt
~, but it was found impossible to
save the frame building and the sheds
behind. Hard fire fighting by the
boys, however, put the flames under
control in time to prevent the destruc-
ton OF the brick portion of the build
ing. The fire was also prevented from
communicating with the starch factory
and other frame buildings in the
vicinity.
Almost verything in the building
with the exception of about eight tons
OF hay in the NOW was saved. The
building was owned by Thos. 81.
Galley and carried light insurance.

dying was closed by the woman. soon
after she came out and announced that
the man was dead.

fort to investigate the cause Of death.
and Oscar Sorensen. brother of the
dead man. went to Chicago, had the
body eXhumed and a rough eXamina-
ton made. He had not money enough
to obtain an analysis Of the stomach
by an expert chemist. and for some
reason the Chicago police would not
take a hand in the matter and 50 it
was dropped.
The relatives have never given up
the idea. however. that Mrs. Sorensen
was the means of causing her hus-
bands death. believing that she did it
for the $500 life insurance policies
which he carried.
Shortly before MAIDS Sorensen died
the house in which he lived, burned to
the ground and shortly after his death,
the store which he and his wife estab-
lished also burned. In both cases
there were suspicious circumstances in
connection with the fires but after an
examination by the Insurance com
panies the amount of the policies was
paid to the woman.

Mrs. Belle Guinness, high priestess

This was established beyond r"a-

tape measure proved the agent which
may solve the perpleXing mystery of
the long series of startling crimes.
Careful measurements were taken OF
the headess trunk of the woman found
in the ruins of the burned home. which
at first was thought to be the body of
Mrs. Guinness. This resulted in the
astounding revelation that the dead
woman was not more than half the
size or weight Of the siren who is sup
posed to have lured d score of men to
their death.

INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS.
New England Colleges Discuss Re-
striction Of Some Sports.

Boston, May S-An important meet
ing of representatives of New England
Colleges was held tonight at the Park
err House at the invitation of the i've
New England colleges belonging to the
Intercollegiate Athletic Association of
Observation-Disclosures. Williams, Tufts,
Vermont and Dartmouth to discuss
various questions relating to intercol-
legiate athletics. All the New England
colleges with the exception of Yale,
Boston College and Boston University
were represented. Dean Briggs of Har-
ward University was chairman of the
conference and Prof. H. G. Wild Of
Williams acted as secretary The in
vitations to the conference stated that
it's purpose was to discuss the ques-
tions of summer baseball. restriction
of athletic schedules and other prob
lens relating to intercollegiate ath-
letics.
1t is understood that no definite ac-
ton was taken on any of these matters
at tonight's meeting The question of
restricting athletic schedules was dis
cussed and as was also the question of
continuing basketball as an intercol-
legiate support. 1t appeared to be the
prevailing opinion that basketball, I'M
der the present rules, has no legitimate
place in intercollegiate athletics. The
question of summer baseball was not
taken up at tonight's session.
The conference adjourned until to-
morrow morning. when there will be
further discussion. 1t is probable that
permanent organization will be affect
ed and at that time constitution
adopted.
