LAYING A SACRED CORNER SToNE.-Sun-
day the neighborhood corner of Annette
and Claiborne streets was the scene of a
sacred ceremony, namely, laying the corner
stone for new temple called the Church
of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. A large
number of Catholics attended Although
built entirely Of wood in dimensions it will
be one hundred and twenty feet long by
tfty-four feet wide, and front on Claiborne
street, and will be provided with steeple
one hundred feet high. The building has
already progressed in its construction to the
elevation of the nave, which is twenty three
feet high, and the elegant gothic win
dow frames are rapidly being set in.
When completed the church will have cost
twenty thousand dollars-a sum which,
considering the material used in the con-
struction, should be sufficient to furnish
elegance combined with solidity and COM
fort.
The ceremony of the laying of the corner
stone was performed in accordance with
the grand and interesting rites of the Roman
Catholic Church, the Rev. Father G. Ray
mond, vicar general of the diocese, off
ciating, assisted by Father A. Borias, the
pastor of the new congregation, and Fathers
Joubert and Subilau, of St. Augustine, and
Ferre and Mignon, of the Cathedral
