B¢ Jobn's Ohuroh, the Foundation of Which Will Be Laid Today. THE GERMAN-AMERICAN SCHOOL Interesting Commencement Exercises At Germania Hall Last Night-- Wirt Street Improvements— Died at the Hospital, 8t. John's Church. The new St. John’s church, the corner stone of which will be laid this afternoon, will be, when completed, one of the meatest church edifices in the state, Itis faced with Warrensburg, Mo., sandstone, 8 material giving ample scope for the display by the stonemason as well as by the architect. Only the main body of the church 1s to be built this summer. At the entrance on California strect will be erected a tower to contain a handsome four-faced clock. This tower will be sur- mounted by a slender spire, on the top of which will be a copper cross. On the opposite corner of the south end will be a smaller tower. The large main en- trance with its double doors and thght of fine stone steps, will appear rather low 8818 generully the case inlarge gothic churches and cathedrals. A large win- dow will be placed over the portico in the north wall, over which will be placed a large niche, reserved for a statue of St. John the Baptist, the patron saint. The apex of the south wall will be sur- mounted by a cross, as will also the spire of the smaller tower. Four niches will also be placed in the large tower, immediately above the tower door. Three public exits are provided for on the south end of the church., The east and west walls will be strengthened by buttresses of solid masonry, alternating with windows, stained giuss, three of which have already been promised by friends of the college. In all probability the whole of the stained-glass windows will be donated before the time arrives to put in the gla 'he plan provides for a church of double the length of the one now being erected, to contuin a circular apose for the - sanctuary, with provisions for a sacristy, ucolytes’ robing rooms, ete., all of which will be covered by a dome- shaped roof, one-story, in the rear of the church proper. When, 1 time, the proposed length of the church is opened to the public, and that found too small, by an arrangement in thonplnn transepts can be built oranch- ing oft from the main body very near the morth end of the church, “The additions are to be extended from the main build- ing at an angle of about forty-five de- grees, running in the general direction of the main aisle. By this arrangement, those sitting in the cross aisles, a8 those occupying the main body of the church, can obtain an unobstructed view of the high altar, something impossible to obtain in many large churches whose transepts run at right angles. ‘The contractors for the stone work on the present church are Dre: & Foll, of Omaha, The brick work is contracted for by Bailey & Olson. All the brick foundations have been made of stock brick, and every course grouted to the fmdn line, thus insuring absolute stabil- ty. The inside carpenter work will be done by A, W. Phelps & Son. All the outside earpenter work is to be finished bxlomobor 15. 'he inside walls will be plastered and there will be a red oak wainscotting all around the church. The ground floor will have two double rows of pews, thus arranging for three aisles, There will be gallery capuble of hol lng about 100 ople and an organ. The bases of the wers are double-footed on concrete and are of such solidity that there is antici- pated no difficulty in erecting thereon the massive stone towers, The length of the present church will be 112 feet br 75 feet, with a 62 feet na: When the whole build is_complete, it will measure 184 feet with 138 fect tran- sit. The grand tower will be 100 feet high, surmounted by a spire seventy-two feet high. The smaller tower, which will be completed at once, will be eighty- eight feet with spire. The walls are from twenty to twenty-four inches thick, with solid buttresses measuring two feet ten inches by two feet six inches. The ashlar ‘block work will be or- mented on the south side by donated granite pillars for the main entrance. The pitch of the roof will be at an angle of forty-tive degrees. ‘The dimension lumber will be white, and the double floorinfi of Georgia pine. The tuary floor will be three feet higher the floor of the body of the church, gd the high altar will "be raised three t higher still. Thus ample provision will be made for the proper display of magnificent pomps and ceremonials which the catholic church so lavishly uses on all her grand festivals. As there n alcolythical society, thirty strong, connected with the college, there will Ee a8 soon as the church is open, a full ob- servance of all the church’s ritual, which among the newness of church organiza- tion in the west, has hitherto been rarely sttempted. The inside support of the roof consists fluted, cast-iron pillars twenty-seven t high with capitals supporting three ined gothic arches. The interior will sand linished plaster of a pale mauve tint relicved by gold pencilling, thus en- hancing the architectural = features. John A.

About six ars ago, some property was purchased c them at Ilf:urcn which now would be eonsidered almost nominal. The rapd increase in the value of real estate ena- bled the fathers to dispose of the land for $35,000, which, together with the munifi- cence of Mr. John A, Creighton, has heen the means of giving to the city a church which commence: work unburdened 2 debt, which is, indecd, a very unusual cumstance., All the funds available have been put into the plain building, but already, sev- promises have been made of dona- of various necessary articles of iture. One instance may be . Recently a number of ladies ntlemen, unsolicited, conceived @ idea of constituting themselves a gommittee with the avowed purpose of ing a suflicient fund for the purchase an organ. The whole idea was Ennetl andarranged unknown to Presi- mt Dowling, and, judging from the well-known qualifications of those inter- in this little project, it will un- btedly be brought quietly to a suc- gessful issue. Other schemes are pri- ‘wately on foot, and as they come to the aurs of the ooileze faculty, these men ap- P mr more and more encouraged thereby heir efforts to educate and train those gommitted to their care.

The commencement exercises of the German-Amcrican school which has been doing such good work during the past year, under the management of Prof. Hempell, took place last night in Ger- mania hall, corner of Nincteenth and Harney streets. A good-sized audience, consisting for the most part of the pupils and their parents, was present. The evening's entestainment opened with a piano duet by Prof. Hempel and Miss Lulu Wittig, which was appreciated and heartily applauded. This was fol- lowed by declamations by Richard Puls, Benjamin Gladstone and Misses Lulu Wittig and Dora Cotzmann, Miss Agnes Tzschuck then rendered a pianosolo with excellent effect, after which Mr. Max Lenz and Mrs, ‘Wuinhngh gave a duet which was greatly enjoyed, Mrs, Wein- hagh playing on the piano and Mr. Lenz on the violin, Masters Willie Krause, Jacob Krug, Eddis Spethmann, Joseph Bell and Miss Lizzie Stricker then gave declamations in the order named. showed careful and intelligent elocutionary training, and their efforts were awarded by applause, ‘Then came the calisthenic exercises by the boys' class. The graceful anner with which the performance was ren- dered called out many expressions of surprise and admiratiod from the audi- ence. After another piano solo by Miss Lulu Wittig, declamations were given by Ru- dolph Koch, Miss Lulu Peycke, August Arnemann, Miss Minnie "Andres and Henry kruhanf. These amations were among the most interesting features of the programme. In addition to the ioung orators already mentioned were lisses Selma Andres, Hattie Kemmer- ling, Julia Rosenmund and Master Theo- dore Bierbach. The calisthenic exercises by the girls® class were fully up to that given by the boys’ class. n appropriate and interesting ad- dress was delivered by Louis Heimrod, the president of the German society, under whose auspices the school is con- ducted. ——— The Fourth of July Parade. Very few people can realize the amount of tronble and great expense, not to say resvonsibility, that is attached to an undertaking like the Knights of Labor fourth of July celebration, The grand parade which is to be made up of the Kmghts of Labor assemblies, the trades unions, civil and military or- Ranizations aund representations from nearly ecery department of Omaha’s in- dustries, and which is to be organized into a procession on the moruing of the fourth, requires something more than an ordinary intelligence to organize and di- rect. All this must be thought up and perfected before their coming together and each division must have its place re- served to avoid confusion. Such is the character of the work which the execu- tive committee and their various sub-com- mittees have to arrange and cook out for On the other hand, the various organiza- tions ure not without their share of re- | this In taking partin an occa- sion like thi: ach body endeavors to outshine the next. The various labor or- ganizations are going to have silk and gold badges and” banners, with suitable representations emblematic of their craft, while some will turn out in a uni- form adopted by the trade, of which they are a division. All this involves much trouble and consideaable expense, yet it goes to show the devotion to our Ameri- can institutions that apides in the breast of our true American workmen. The great parade on the morning of the Fourth of July of this year, is frought with much interest for the workingmen of this city. At present the labor element here have some reason to put fourth their strength and show the unity which exists among them. The threatening attitude of some of the employers of lobor renders lt!' necessary that it should be so at this ime. Died at the l;mpllal.
