This church cost nearly SIOO,OOO and is one 'of the finest edifices of its kind in Indiana. The interior decorations and large imitation -mosiac pillars are beautiful almost beyond conception, and all the furnishings harmonize beautifully with the work of the decorative artists. V While St. Joseph’s College has been a growing educational institution at our door for a number of years, comparatively few people of the county other than our Catholic citizens know very much about its workings or the amount of money that has been invested there in buildings and grounds. Those visitors who attend the dedication of the new chapel next Wednesday will be given an opportunity to learn more about this excellent Catholic- school, which has quietly expended upwards of a half a million dollars here and draws students from all over the country to its portals. The new chapel will be blessed by Rt. Rev. Herman J. Alerding, bishop of Ft. Wayne, Pontificial High Mass will be celebrated by Very Rev. Joseph Koudelka, D. D., and addresses will be made by Thomas R. Marshall, governor of Indiana, Very Rev. Joseph -Chartfand, V. G., bi Indianapolis, and Mr. Edmund A. Wills, A. 8., of Detroit, Mich. Monday evening at 8 p. m., the Catholic Literary Society of the College will present in the college hall, “Scanderbeg,” a drama of events of the early 15th century, which many of the early visitois for the dedication from a distance and several town people will witness.
