A NEW CHURCH TO BE BUILT.
old Christ Church TO be Torn Down
The Last Sermon,

The Last Sermon.
Rev. Albert X. Stuart preached the last
sermon in Christ p Il. Church, George
town, yesterday, as to-day workmen will
begin to tear down that old ediflce to make
room fort anew one. The church was founded
in 1917, and was reconstructed in 1916.
Since then repairs have been made at times,
and the old place Of worship was one Of
the features Of staid old Georgetown. The
demands of the congregation have shown
within the past few years the necessity Of a
larger structure, and 1t was with this end
in view that collections were inaugurated
some seven years ago.
These collections amount now to S25, 900,
and for that amount another church will be
built. The old church stands on the high
terrace at the corner Of Thirty-ilrst and o
streets, but the new one will be on level
with the ground. The new church will be
an imposing one, and will be furnished with
all modern conveniences. A new organ, to
cost $1,000, will be put in, and altogether
the total cost Of the new building will be
about $4,000.
The father of w. w. Corcoran was one Of
the founders Of the old church, and many
other distinguished persons were Identified
with II. The officers of the church include
q number Of prominent business men of
Georgetown, and the congregation is largely
made up of the descendants of the original
members.

no place there to shelter freight, and the arti-

Fadcr of this place keeps several
hives OF bees in his garden. Yesterday
forenoon he was ut work among his
bees. a man with whom he had some
business dealings called at his house
to see him. Mrs. Fader went out to call
her husband into the house. As she an
preached the bee-hiyos number of bees
flew into her face, and she was stung
several times, One of the bees stung
her in one of her nostrils, and another
one stung her on the upper lip, at the
base of the cartilage dividing the two
nostrils Mrs. Fadcr's cries brought
her husband to the spot lie extracted
the wounds. He went with his
thought OF any consequences resulting
from the bee stings more serious than the
swelling and pain. He left his wife In
the Kitchen applying ammonia to the
wounds, and entered front room, where
his visitor was. 4 few minutes later he
heard a heavy fall in the kitchen. He
ran out and found his wife lying in convul-
slons ON the floor Her noStrils were
swollen shut, and her lips We're twice
their natural size, and had turned dark
blue. She breathed short and quick
through her mouth. Her face was so
swollen that its identity was entirely lost.
MIR, Fader hurried his visitor after u doc
tor, hut before one arrived his wife died
IN her husbands arms. The doctor said
that the Stings In her lip and uostrils had
sent shock like electricity TO her brain.
and from that 20 her lungs and heart, so
severe that she was unable to rally from
it, Mrs. Fadcr was twenty-eight years
old. twas but tory-tWe minutes from
the time that she was stUng until her

but the anti-Tildcn men In New York,
looked upon him as the coming candi-
date. Edgar \. Apgar stood very close
to Tilden. In June, $50, he and u party
OF politicians were AT the kenmore hotel
IN Albany and were talking over the po-
iitical situation when Mr.. Apgar said, Il

how near correct ann in my guess This
was done, and that night Apgar on meet
Ing me told me OF the circumstance. To-
day his brother sent me the letter which
had been thus placed in the hotel safe. At
the time Apgar wrote it the party thought
that the name would certainly be Tllden,
