In his right hand, but the shock Of his

tional. One such of dramatic interest
was recalled the other day.
For many years an old man could often
be seen walking about the streets of Lin
coin in the dead Of night with a lantern
in his hand. It was never lighted, and
the aged parsonage on being interrogated
as to the reason Of his carrying the
article about without putting it to some
use would refuse to answer, and would
only smile sadly and pass on into the
night. The old man one day sickened
and died, and after he had been laid to
rest the story Of his strange action was
told by q relative.
The old man had q son, bright and
promising boy. who was the pride of
his heart. The lad was the child of his
mature years, and the fond parent held
high hopes Of the ability Of the young
man to make q name for himself in the
world. But the bright visions of the
father were doomed to be blasted. The
boy developed q taste for the life Of a

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
FALLS CHURCH, Va, May ), 1902
The laying of the corner stone of the
new Catholic Church here yesterday was
attended by large concourse of people
from this section, Washington and AleXan-
dria. The church is to be a large and
handsome stone structure, built upon
site donated by the bishop of the Richmond
diocese, to which this parish belongs, and
is located in a central part of the town.
The entire cost of the building, estimated
to be 10000. will be paid by Mrs. Ryan Of
New York city. The congregation is pre-
pairing to build new rectory close to the
church.
The corner stone of the Church was
laid upder the AUSPICES Of the An
cient Order Of Hibernians and the
knights of Columbus. The process
sion was headed by a cross-bearer
and four acolytes, one carrying holy water.
Then followed Representatives OF three
councils of the order of Hibernians and
five councils of the knights of Columbus,
one from Alexandria. Following the So
cieties came Father Tierney, rector Of the
church, who was attended by Father Sui
livan of the Order of ST. Paul; Fathers
OLeary, Quill and Kale, Jesuits from the
Georgetown University; Father Julius OF
the Order of St. Benedict. from the Brook
land monastery; Father Cutler of St Mary S
Church, Alexandria, and Father Mallen,
all of whom took part in the ceremony.

We're also present.
On the way to the church the members
of the societies chanted the hymn on
ward, Christian Soldier and after the first
benediction was pronounced the priests
chanted in Latin the eighty-third, eighty
sixth and one hundred and twenty-sixth
Psalms, each followed by the doXology and
appropriate prayer. At the conclusion of
the ceremonies the members of the socie-
ties represented sang Holy Cod We Praise
Thy Name" The sermon on the occasion
was preached by Father Sullivan, who also

Department of Agriculture, with the view
of ascertaining the commercial possibility
of growing this tobacco in the Connecti-
cut valley. From such favorable results
the trial has been pronounced a great sue
cess.
AS evidence of the success of the
growing of Sumatra tobacco under shade
in the Connecticut valley several large cor
poratons have arranged to cultivate this
type in this vicinity during the coming
season. 1t is estimated that nearly 1000
acres will be tented in various sections a
few of the shades being as large as fifty
acres. Mr.. George T. McNess, one of tho
tobacco experts of the government, with
three assistants. is located here giving
all necessary aid to those who contem-
plate raising Sumatra under cloth
Prof. Milton Whitney is much gratified
at the results of the sale, and does not feel
that the 100000 expended the expert
ment was injudcious. Secretary Wilson is
also pleased. He visited Tariffville, Conn,
the headquarters of the experiment, last
summer, and was greatly interested In the
work. The farmers and the tobacco trade
generally consider that great service has
been rendered American agriculture:
The result of this sale can hardly be
overestimated. 1t means that Sumatra to-
bacco can be commercially grown in the
Connecticut valley it means that the farm
er is able to make large profit on this
manufacturer can get n leaf equal to the
imported Sumatra with its high duty at a
lower price; il means that the importation
of Sumatra, which annually takes SO much
money from this country, will re reduced.
