LAYING THE CORNER STONE
CEREMONY TO BE PERFORMED To-
MORROW AFTERNOON.
House of Worship for Lutheran Con
EregatiOn In Northeast Washing
ton-Description of Edi6ce.

The members and friends of St. Mat
thews German Lutheran Church will to-
morrow afternoon at o'clock lay the cor
ner stone Of the chapel which Is now in
course of construction on D street between
10th and 18th streets northeast under the
management of Mr.. L. F. Stutz. architect.
The erection Of this chapel is the result of
a movement, started six years ago, to sup
ply the German Lutherans Of East Wash
ington with a church of their faith and
language. To Rev. J. E. A. Doermann, the
pastor Of Grace Church, Corcoran and 18th
streets northwest may be said to belong the
honor of having impaired the first impetus
to the enterprise. After paying personal
visits to some of the more active Lutherans
Of the eastern section he began to hold
services in the chapel Of the Baptist con-
gregation, corner Of 9th and streets A
few weeks later a permanent organization
was effected. and Rev. w. H. Gohdes,
graduate of the theological seminary of Co
lumbus, Ohio, was called as the first pas
tor Of the infant congregation.
Being weak numerically and financially,
the congregation decided that to assume
a heavy debt in order to acquire possession
of a place of worship Of It's own meant to
jeopardize Its existence. Arrangements were
therefore made with the trustees Of the
Adventist Church, on Sth street between +
and streets northeast, by which regular
services could be conducted in that building.
Here the little congregation slowly gathered
strength, and when, shortly after Christ
Church, Its rented home, became prey to
the flames. the members no longer hesitated
to take the necessary steps toward the pur-
chase OF suitable property.
Description of the Structure.
The building fronting on D street will
show very picturesque elevation, with the
long sloping roof front laid up in pressed
brick. and the projecting porch vestibule.
the belvidere built to rise from the apex
of the roof The building will be erected
on terrace three feet above the sidewalk
and set back from the building line eleven
feet, thus affording fine granolfthfc walk
from the terrace to the entrance steps, ana
leading west to the sacristy and east to the
council room. Entrance by stone steps on
the west leads to the furnace and fuel room
and also to the toilet rooms.
!, Entrance will be had through the en-
trance vestibule through fly doors to the
pacity of 800, and will be lighted by lead
ed glass windows from the side, and from
the large window in the front, which will
be a memorial window and exceptionally
fine
The roof of the auditorium will be an open
timbered roof. Sides and ceiling will be
finished in oak. The ceiling ventilators
work in emblematic design. From the au-
dftorium a door leads directly to the sac
risty.
The chancel is to be recessed domed and
arranged to provide for the full Hturgical
services Of the Lutheran Church, and Is to
| be separated from the auditorium by n
high chancel arch. To the east Of this

Enumeration of Population VIII In

two ago. suggested to District Commission
er Macfarland that some arrangement be
made by which the census of Washington
might be made to embrace a larger area
than that within the limits Of the city prop
er. Such suburbs or sections as Columbia
Heights, Mt Pleasant, lexington, Bright
wood. Washington Heights and Anacostia
should be included, he thought; SO that a
compilation Of the census might not stand
as so much population for the city and SO
much for the county. Why, he asked the
Commissioner, should there not be Great

York?
Commissioner Mcfarland considered the
suggestion to be very valuable one and
conferred with Mr.. Harrison Dingman, the
supervisor of the census for the District.
He was informed by Mr.. Dingman that he
Is arranging to include the entire District as
and that the census Of the city will include
the population Of the entire District.

cities One remarkable assurance that
the employers make is that few, II any,
of them acquire any fondness for tobacco
because they work in it. This is all diff
ferent from the way of men who make
cigars. They smoke like furnaces in
some places, and are allowed a certain
number of cigars every day for their
own consumption. 1t is probable that
they turn out better cigars IN places
where they do not smoke, and in so
large an establishment as any of the
leading Richmond factories smoking is
vigorously prohibited for cautionary rea-=
sons. More of it can be smoked than of
Havana tobacco; that is, of the real
Havana, which is dark, has consider
able amount of oil in it. and IS hardly
known in the United States 1T present.

a type of all the tobacco factories of
Virginia and Maryland, is well conducted
from The business point of view, and
there are no indications of discomfort
among the operatives. Tho reasons Cor
this lie partly in the fact that while the
employees are expected to be Clearly and
self-respectlng. they are not required to
dress as well as shop girls, who work
longer hours and make less money. Again,
Richmond is a cheap city, with moderate
cost Of living and low rents. 1t is not
town that is so prolific in maddeninS
amusements that one is inclined to 30
out and spend the whole $3.50 in one eve
ming. But. chiefly, the company makes
an effort to secure only young women OF
good character in its shops, and IN doing
this it exercises plain business sense,
