AGAIN CONSIDER PLANS.
AT Last vestry of st. Matthew's Has
Setsof Plans It Considers May Be
Acceptable for Rectory.

Since June the vestry of ST. Mathew S
Episcopal church and the architects have
been duelling as to what the proposed
new rectory of the parish shall be.
Tt was decided by the vestry that a
new rectory was to be erected this fall
on the site of the present one, which is
badly out of repair.
Plans were requested. But the archi-
tects seemed to think that a palatial
residence was fitting while the vestry
wanted something less pretentious. The
Rev. Fred Ingley who is to occupy the
rectory is in sympathy with the vestry s
viewpoint rather than that of the archi-
tects. Up to last night the simplest plan
submitted would have required the SER
vices of two housemaids, and as Mr..
Ingley remarked, even if one could af-
ford and desired to keep the two house
maids one couldn It get them in Kenosha,
so why waste time considering plans
for a rectory which would require them
But at meeting last night the vestry
received from its architect more mod
est set of plans which If followed
would lead to home where the work
might be gotten through each day by
one maid.
The vestry is fairly well satisfied
with the plans but being mere men they
hesitate to make an irrevocable decision
before giving their wives and daughters
chance to look over the plans.
The plans have, therefore, been sent
to Mrs. ID. 0. Head, president of the
Ladies Aid society of the church, with
the request that every woman Of the
parish who is interested will examine
them and make such suggestion for their
Improvement as she may deem advis-
able. Mrs. Head will have them until
next Thursday.
On Friday, Sept. 8, the vestry is to
again meet when some action will be
taken regarding the plans.

MRS. B. j. ROGERS DEAD.
Word Received Today of Her Demise in
Summer Home of Daughter in the
Adirondacks, New York.


News was received today by J. Car
son Rogers of Park avenue of the death
Wednesday night, of his mother, Mrs.
Sarah Ann Rogers, widow of the late
Benjamin Talbot Rogers, at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Ogden Mills Reid
in the Adirondacks.
Mrs. Rogers was born February 10.
1888, and was married to Mr.. Rogers in
November, 1856, and for many years
thereafter lived in Appleton, Wisconsin.
Eleven children were born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Rogers of whom six are still liv-
ing. They are: Mrs. Rush Winslow,
Appleton; Carson Rogers, Kenosha; the
Rev. Benjamin Talbot Rogers, warden
of Racine College; Sister Annette of the
order of the Holy Nativity, Fond du
Lac; George Werner Rogers; Mrs. Har-
ry Ferguson, Sterling, ILL.,; and Mrs.
Ogden Mills Reid, New York.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. Carson Rogers have
not yet been notified of the funeral ar
rangements but expect to receive de-
tailed information within few hours.
It is probable that the body will be
brought to Wisconsin for burial as the
family burying place of the Benjamin
Talbot Rogers is in Appleton.
Mrs. Rogers lived in Kenosha for
some time, beginning in 1886 when,she
brought her daughters to Kemper Hall
to be educated. She has visited here
since and had many friends in the city.

NO TEACHERS SCHOOL HERE.
Attorney General Holds That Kenosha
High School May Not Have a
Department. for Teachers.

Kenosha boys and girls who want
to be school teachers will have to ar
range to attend some of the state
schools. There is not going to be any
teachers course opened at the Keno
sha High School. The plan is blocked
by an opinion Of the attorney general
who holds that such a school can not
be opened under the authority of the
state and that without such authority
a certificate issued by it would be of
no value to the gradutes. 1t was ex-
planned to the state superintendent that
no financial support was sought for the
school from the state, but even with
the city paying all expenses 'it was
held that the plan could not be carried
out. Tt is just possible that the Keno
sha movement will result in suggestion
Of a. new law at the next session of the
legislature to give high schools in the
state chance to provide such course
for teachers.

SAYS NEWPORT IS MADLY GAY
Presence of Warships and Destroyers
In Harbor Adds to Test of Society
AS There Is Much Entertain
ing on Board.

The Rev. Fred Ingley, rector of ST.
Matthew's Episcopal Church is back
from a delightful month spent in the
coast resorts of Rhode Island and is
looking well and rested. TIE greater
part of his time was spent in Wakefield,
r.. l., as the guest of the Rev. r. G.
Seymour of that city, class mate of
Mr.. Ingley.
It was from this charming old coast
town that Mr.. Ingley and his host made
many motor trips to surrounding resorts
where the Wealthiest and most promin-
emit socially of New York, Boston, Phil
adelphia and other eastern cities make
merry during the summer months now
that their accustomed trips to Europe
are interrupted by the war.
Naval officers Add to Gaiety.
"Never has Newport been gayer or
looked more attractive than this year"
said MFR. Ingley. "The presence cf a
great fleet of warships and destroyers
in the harbor has added to the social
activity for many dinner, dance and
other entertainment is give. aboard
ship, and the presence of the uniformed
men at the functions of the cottagers
is always a welcome addition, giving
distinction which hostesses appreciate.
f'The homes in Newport are magnifi-
cent and all show the impress of wealth.
The wonderful home of Mrs. Oliver FL.
p. Belmont is one Of those that attract
attention, even in this town where prac-
tically every home is a palace.
Watch Hill More Aristocratic.
f'But Watch Hill, another coast re-
sort, T consider has the most aristo-
cratic, imposing and dignifed appear
ance of any town on the Rhode Island
ocean front. This town is exquisitely
beautiful. There is less show. The
buildings are not so ornate as at New
port, The word money is not so plainly
to be read upon every structure, but
the town shows the presence of the best
culture in its outward and physical
form. It is classic in style. The build
ings are massive and beauty reigns
everywhere.
Kenosha Family Visited.
F'The Il. S. Meers summer home is
but fifteen miles away from here in
picturesque Quonochontaug, which /
believe to be the most picturesque spot
on the Rhode Island coast. The Indian
name is translated into English as
Home of the Black Bass The Meers
cottage. called Holly-Mere, is in the
most attractive site in the resort. Huge
moss covered boulders, against which
the ocean breaks are piled before it.
From the front windows of the cottage
one looks out over the ocean. Every
thing about is beautiful and scenically
romantinc.
Holly-Mere is a gathering place for
delightful people and is never without
a number of guests" Mr. Ingley staid
with the Meers for three days.
Although on vacation trip Mr..
lngley occupied some pulpit every Sun
day that he was away and on one Sum
day had three engagements.
II enjoyed my vacation all the
more" he said, "because / was not
wholly idle. Some day when I am much
older my ideal vacation may be to go
away and do absolutely nothing, but
now it has more attraction for me to
feel that although I am enjoying a
pleasurable outing I am not wholly
idle. "
