There are many famous churches designed In this style. Rome possesses so many that we frequently hear it erroneously spoken of as the "Roman style," while it should be "Italian Renaissance." The most famous of all Is 8t. Peter's of Rome, marvelous In the richness of its detail, contributed by the great masters, and more particularly admired artistically on account of the beauty and magnitude of its unparalleled dome. Viewed In the light of this brief story the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, as Father Porclle's church is now oftenest called, seems to take on additional Interest and grandeur. A Pilgrimage Church.

first time together since they were at school, at these Wednesday afternoon gatherings. Beside its books, the library for the blind has a fine collection of mays with raised letters, which give the blind an opportunity to study the geography of the world. Most of those who patronize the library have to come lO'-g distances to get their books. When 'this fact was called to the attention of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company by Mr. Dickinson the company agreed to furnish the library free car tickets, to be distributed among the library patrons.

So. with nearly every book circulated from the library go from two to four trolley tickets, according to the distance that lias to be traveled. Some of the library patrons come from Queens and some from greater distances. The majority are poor and unless their carfare was paid from their homes to the library and back they would be unable to take advantage of the books at their disposal. Under the arrangement with the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company they are under no expense whatsoever.

It is the aim of Mr. Dickinson and MiSB Clarke to try to have every blind person in Brooklyn become a member of the new library which the city has star.od for their benefit. They are constantly on the outlook for new patrons and they are constantly Inviting tbOBe taking out books now to bring along their friends. Botb Mr. Dickinson and Miss Clarke believe the library for the blind has a great future before it and a fine opportunity of helping along those who have been unfortunate enough to lose their sight.

Miss Clarke Is the friend of every patron of the library. She takes particular Interest in those she is teaching how to read. She Is -always on the lookout for books that will Interest this woman or that man and is never so happy as when her readers come back to her after they have had a book for a week or History and the ultra-scientific works' of eminent geologists tell of the. stone age and the iron age and some others. Centurlea hence history and the learned geologists' of that distant day will tell of the age of tho Standard OH Company and the tin can, and the text books will be illustrated with, not pictures of hairy men slaying fearsome look--? tng animals with crudely fashioned stone hatchets, but with caricatures of Rockefel- ler's new wig and our oil friead and his battered tin tomato can cooking outj- fit.

KILLED BY CROSSBREEDING, Bare Flower Has a White Ground, Beautifully Veined With Violet Purple. An orchid which for fifty years has baffled all the attempts of collectors to find its native haunts has been rediscovered. The orchid is the Cyprlpedlum Fairieanum, which was one of a random collection made in Assam in 1857, sent to London In the same year, and bought by a Mr. Falrie, of Liverpool, In whose possession It bloomed, and was duly hailed and described In orchid literature as one of the most beautiful orchids hitherto known.

Several other plants of the same orchid came with it. and the species was at once Cypripedium Fairieanum, Whuse native haunt on th Tibet border ha been re-'Jlscuverea afler being lost for fifty years. named Fairieanum. after Mr. Falrie From the ilny nf in flrrt ll rr up to a Tew" months ago, in spite of scoreB of exped.

ilcns and perilous journeys by collectors, not a single plant was found. The original stock of plants in Britain gradually dwindled, until only one specimen was left, Sir Trevor Lawenop. the president of the Royal Horticultural Society, being the proud possessor tor 'iflaey years of the enly known Fairieanum, a very small specimen, which, of course, wa3 priceless. An orchid specialist says t'Jat at a time when orchid growers had roasted to death the cherished Fairieanums by giving them too much, heat, acting on the idea that, coming from some Indian region, the plants must require great tieat, and had weakened them to death by cross-breeding, for which the plant was eminently valuable, some member of the Tibet expedition discovered a whole bunch of the plants. He sent them along to Calcutta, whence two were dispatched to Kew, and others are gradually coming through to England.

At Kew the plants identity has been established beyond all doubt, for one has flowered since its arrival. If these two, and perhaps half a dozen others, had been all that were found, they would sell at fabulous sums, for such growers as Baron Mr. Chamberlain and a few others would be ready to give Immense prices for a specimen. But the fact that nearly 200 have been discovered cheapens the species, and incidentally robs Sir Trevor Lawrence of a long cherished distinction. "Probably anot'-ier fifty years will elapse ere more Fairieanums are found," said a British specialists, "for no private collecting expedition is likely to venture into such a country.

My own belief Is that unless an other military expedition traverses the same ground there will never again be a chance of getting plants." The plant flowering at Kew has five giowths and two flowers. The second plants developing nve blooms. The nower has slender, hairy scape about ten inches In height, a prominent and charming dorsal sepal, 1 inches In length by 114 Inches In breadth, with a white ground beautifully veined w-ith violet-purple, and with brownish-green veins near the center and whitish hairs round the margin. The petals droop and have an upward curve at the tips; they are 1 inches In length, with a white ground streaked with purple and yellow. The upper margin of the petals is much undulated, and covered with prominent purple hairs.

The pouch is rather small, greenish-brown In color, veined with brownish red and covered with short hairs. WILLIAM H. VEENON DEAD. William H. Vernon, traveling salesman for the W.

PARIS FASHIONS UP TO DATE. From tns Eaglo Paris Bureau. BS Rut Cambon, through the courtesy ot Abraham ft Straus. Black crepe de chine gown, with black taffeta trlmmlna: Cluny lac in yoke. is at He son the of Miss Clarke, Sightless Since Childhood, Teaches Those Sim-llarly Afflicted How to Read.

HAS PUPILS OF ALL AGES. Aim Is to Get Every Blind Person in Brooklyn on the Bolls. The unique distinction of being tbe only blind librarian in tbe world, ao far aa Is known. Is enjoyed by a Brooklyn woman, a worker In a Brooklyn library. She la Miss Beryl H.

Clarke, who baa charge of tbe library for the blind, connected with the Pa-eiflc branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, at Pacific street and Fourth avenue. Miss Clarke has been sightless she was five years old: She has spent most of her life among peoplo afflicted like herself and at the time of her appointment as assistant librarian, to take charge of the library for the blind in Brooklyn, she was engaged in the work of teaching the blind children who had come under the care of the International Sunshine Society, of which Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden is president. Even now, Miss Clarke Is almost as much a teacher as she is a librarian. She devotes Miss Beryl H.

two days of the week to teaching the blind who have become Interested in the library organized for their benefit, how to read. The city has no more earnest worker than Miss Clarke. It probably has no more effi-cAit librarian, even handicapped as she is. JIHiertainly has no more enthusiastic librarian. She has entered upon her work she has only been in the employ of the city sW.ce last April with a determination to interest every blind person in Brooklyn In the library in charge of she has been placed, and already her work Is beginning to show results.

Of the 1,000 sightless persons in Brooklyn nearly 100 are members of the library for the blind. The Brooklyn library for the blind was started in April last by Asa Don Dickinson, librarian in charge of the Paclflc branch. The Church of the Messiah, at Greene and Clermont avenues, supplied the nucleus for the library and the city added other books, until now the library has in the neighborhood of 100 books in raised point print. The3e books cover a wide rans-o of reading, and include works on history, science, religion, fiction and other branches of literature. There are any number of Bibles in the collection, but it is a 3trange thing that the blind readers fight shy of the Bibies.

They evidently have had so many Bibles thrift at them that, according to Mr. Dickinson, they welcomed the opportunity to read other books. Fiction works are patronized the most, according to Mr. Dickinson. The library for the blind Is open on Tues' days, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 2 to 6 P.M.

On Mondays and Thursdays Miss Clarke goes about among the members of the library who are just learning" to read, teaching them how to master the raised point print. Miss Clarke has pupils of all aires. One of her pupils is a man fully 60 years of age, who has been blind only a couple of years. He never attempted how to learn to read until the library for the blind was opened. Miss Clarke took him in hand about a month ago.

He has proved to be nu excellent pupil, for, according to Miss Clarke, he has already mastered the primer Library for and Is starting' on the first reader. Usually it takes a beginner three months to loam the primer. Miss Clarke experts this pupil to be reading the latest works on fiction in another couple of months. To make the library more attractive to the blind readers of Brooklyn, Mr. Dickinson gives a rending overy Wednesday afternoon in the library rooms.

He roads a poem, a short etory and part of a long story every week. He has Just finished "Huckleberry inn, and has started on Sentimental 'lorn-I my." When an Eagle reporter called at the library last Wednesday afternoon the reading of the first installment of "Sentimental Tommy" had Just been finished, and Mr. Dlrklnson was recelvtng the congratulations of hlt audience on his splendid Scotch dialect. The Wednesday afternoon readings are really pleasant affairs. Mr.

Dickinson says the blind people look forward to them with keen anticipation, for at the readings they have an opportunity to exchange gossip and talk about events that are transpiring In their liven that they do not have on other days of the week. According to Mr. Dickinson, many old ciioolmatei have met each other lor tho I in a Twenty-five Years Ago the Rev. James J. Durick Was Ordained.

SPECIAL SERVICES TODAY. Bishop McDonnell to Take Part. Niagara Priest to Deliver the Sermon. Great preparations have been under way" for several weeks past in the parish of Our Lady of Good Counsel, Putnam avenue, near Ralph, for the celebration that is to begin to-day in honor of the silver Jubilee of the ordination of the rector of the church, the Rev. James J.

Duritk, to the- priesthood. To-morrow, September IS, will be the anniversary of the ordination of Father Durick twenty-five years ago, but He celebration will begin to-day with a high mass at 11 A.M. Father Durick has been rector of Our Lady of Good Counsel parish only a few years, yet in that time, owing to his wioe guidance of parochial affairs and his pa ternal Interest In his flock, he has so greatly endeared himself to his parishioners that they are enthusiastic in their efforts to make the celebration of his Jubilee a tremendous success. The joyousness of the parishioners in anticipation of the event has been very great and is said to be increasing as the time approaches for the celebration. What Is looked upon as the greatest feature of the celebration will be the Jubilee solemn high mass, celebrated at 11 o'clock in the morn ing by Father Durick.

The Right Rev Bishop McDonnell will be In attendance in his episcopal robes at this celebration will a large number of the clergy of the diocese, among whom Father Durick's popularity is equally as great as among his parishioners. Father Durick, while appreciating the pleasure of the happy is very unostentatious in his rejoicing, and in his unassuming way would be quite content to have the auspicious occasion slip quietly by without the slightest demonstration, but his parishioners in their general rejoicing and those taking a prominent part in the preparations are bound to make the occasion worthy, as they feel, of their beloved pastor. The Rev. Peter Rlckard, assistant rector of the parish, has full charge of affairs, but cannot be said to be lacking subordinates to assist in the movement. Father Rickard has secured the Rev.

L. A. Grace, profeseor of dogmatic theology at Niagara University, who was one of Father Durick's teachers at that institution, to deliver the sermon of ic occasion. He has also Inyltnl in-prnl i 111 i1 1 mi II holh within and without this diocese, who were classmates of Father Durick. to be present and take a prominent part in the celebra tion.

The Rev. D. J. Hickev. rector of St Francis Xavier'e, and the Rev.

John O'Hara, rector of St. Matthew's, will be deacon and subdeacon of the mass, respectively, while the Rev. Thomas O'Reilly, rector of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the Rev. William J.

Dullard, of Hartford, will be attendants on the bisnop. Others who will take a prominent part In the celebration this morning will be the Rt. Rev. Msr. John I.

Barrett, the Rt. Rev. Mgr. P. J.

McNamara and Vicars General McNamee and Kaupert. Father Kaupert was a classmate of Father Durick's. To-day's celebration will close with a re ception In the school hall to-night, when tbe parishioners and the members of the differ ent societies of the church will gather and extend congratulations to Father Durick. W. J.

Duane will be in charge of this celebration and will make the principal address of the evening. The heads of the various societies will also make addresses. Over the platform of the stage, in illuminated silver, the figures "1880-1906" will add to the other decorations of the hall. An excellent musical programme has also been prepared. Tomorrow night the children of the parish will add their qnota to the celebration, and the hall, the seating capacity of which is 1,500, Rev.

James J. Durick. will again be in use. It is expected that owing to the large number of parishioners the hall will be crowded each night. Father Durick was horn in St.

Paul parish, July 17, 1S5G. His early education was obtained at St. Paul's parochial school, after which he became a student at St. John's College, Lewis and Willonghhy avenues. Here he attracted1 the attention of his teachers by his application and ability and graduated from the Institution in a few years with high honors.

It was now time to make up his mind as to his vocation, and having always felt inclined toward a priestly life, he applied to Bishop LougMin for examination and acceptance. He then entered the Seminary of Our Lady of Angels at Niagara and prepared himself for his spiritual labors In the diocese cf Brooklyn. Having finished his courses in philosophy and theology he was; ordained by Bishop Loughlin on September 18, 18S0, There was no vacancy for the young clergyman, and after his ordination he remained and assisted in the duties of his native parish. He was later assigned to St. Ann's Parish as a curate, where he finally became pastor and remained until his appointment a few years ago to the parish of Our Lady of Good Counsel.

Father Durick has a brother, the Rev. John Durick, a curate in the Church ot Our Lady of Mercy, and two of his sisters are nuns in the Order of the Sisters of St. Joseph. He was most popular among the parishioners of St. Ann's and great was their regret when he was appointed to succeed the late Rev.

Eugene Mahoney as rector of Our Lady of Good Counsel. Father Mahoney had performed great work In this parish and Father Durick lias endeavored to carry along the work as begun by Father Mahoney. He has had the beautiful church erected by Father Mahoney decorated and has added to the Interior beauty of tho church by the installation of two Carrara marble altars and an altar rail of onyx and brnBS. He has also erected a new set of stations In the church which are said to be the grandest In the borough, being of tinted old ivory. He has spent many thousand dollars In the work of the parish and Intends to erect a new school for the girls and a magnificent parish hall to meet the urgent demands now made upon the present parish hall.

The ground for the erection of this new building was broken a weeK ago. It is expected that aside from the large number of parishioners that will take nart the celebration in honor of their pastor's silver Jubilee, large numbers- from St. Ann's and from hlB native parish also will partake la tea ceramoniaa of th occaslon. Sunken Sidewalks and Broken Brownstone Steps at Jorale-mon and Furman Streets. TIMBERS USED TO "SHORE UP." No Thoroughfare for Pedestrians or Vehicles Where Tunnel Hoisting Apparatus Blocks Traffic.

Slowly, the lower part of Joralemon street, with its houses, most of them fine residences, is recovering from the blight of subway construction, and workmen are busy repaying tho street between Hicks and Henry Btreets, while other workmen are as busy repairing stoops that have fallen away from houses on both sides of the thoroughfare. There is one part of the street, however, that is a Bight, and that is at the Furman street crossing. In fact, Furman street, for blocks on either side of the tunnel route, is almost useless for the purposes for which it was taken over by the city of being used by pedestrians and vehicles. It Ib an interesting place to visit Just now the corner of Furman and Joralemon streets. Looking up the hill toward the Borough Hall, one can see the wreck that the subway has made, but only partially.

It is best indicated by the sunken sidewalks and the wrecked brown stone steps to the houses, as well as by the huge timbers that shore up nearly all of the houses on either aide. Just at tbe corner stands tbe tunnel hoisting apparatus, and shouting drivers of unruly teams keep urging their horses up alongside a big building in the street which has a chute, out of which comes the mud, soft and sticky, from far underground. All of the hustle and bustle that Is going on Is worth watching. The teamster, first, with a good many choice expletives, drives his team alongside the chute. Then, with a short-bandied hoe, he assists a much bemuddied individual inside the chute in pulling down the sticky muck Into the cart.

It certainly Is dirty business, this under river tunneling, as can be seen from the condition of the clothing of every laborer who has anything to do with it. Furman street is almost a city block Inland from the shore end of the two tunnel tubes. This makes the corner at Joralemon street a point of serious congestion. The tunnel contractors have another method of getting rid of the earth, or mud, taken out of the tubes, beside that of the chute. It is quite an ingenious one, too.

By means of an elevator, the small cars, each containing its load of sticky stuff, is hoisted to the street level from the tunnel. The cars are then run off the elevator, where a small hoisting nppm-4u l'ulucs thuui and deposits three on each waiting cart, which is then driven to the dumping dock to be dumped on to scows. The men who work far out under the river In the tubes are another interesting sight at Furman and Joralemon streets. At any time, a dozen or more can be seen there, either having Just come up from below, all muddy and wet, or waiting for the time for their shift to go down. Husky fellows they are, but each man has a peculiar look about the face end throat, a colorless look as though good, rich blood was wanting.

It is the effect of working under an air pressure many times greater than that above ground. All of them speak wonderlngly at the recent escape from death of a fellow workman who was forced up through the bottom of the river by a "blow-out" and shot up to the surface of the river to be fortunately rescued before he drowned. Work on the north tube, the men all say, has been progressing more rapidly than that on the other. This Is because of that same accident which filled the tunnel with mud and water. It has taken a long time to clear It out, but on Thursday of last week the men were aoie to get to the forward end of the shield and to resume work, which will now be pushed as rapidly as possible.

In the meantime, and until the tunnels are completed, Furman street is a good place for drivers to keep off, unless It Is absolutely necessary for them to drive along that cluttered up thoroughfare. AVE MARIA COUNCIL'S OUTING. C. W. B.

FOOTBALL AT CHICAGO. Chicago, September 16 The football eea- in Chicago opened to-day, the University of Chicago eleven, lining up agalnBt North Division High School eleven, the interscholastic champions. Last season the High School boys held the University of Cbicago team to a low score. Coach Stagg, the university, decided not to take chance to-day, and accordingly announced a lineup mostly ot veterans. A bard fought contest is expected.

This Ib not only a parish cnurcn but a pilgrimage church as well. On the third Kiimiav of each month to-day. for example large numbers of pilgrims come from New York and neighboring states to visit the shrine, and special services are given for their benefit at 3:30 in the afternoon and at 8 o'clock in the evening. The evening service during this season is especially attractive from the fact that it is held, when the weather does not forbid, on the spacious grounds outside the church, which are splendidly illuminated for these occasions.

site side of Aberdeen street, looking across at the stately structure there was unmistakable satisfaction in bis lone as he quietly, but not the less earnestly, said: "It is a noble building." Then bis mind went back into the past and, with a wave of his hand, comprehending the thickly settled section all about him, he added: "When I came here, thirty years ago, there were only thirty Catholic families living between Little Village (Rldgewood) and Canarsie, and I used to go just over there on the hill, now so populous, and shoot my breakfast. If I found nothing to shoot I went without my breakfast, or made it of berries that 1 picked in the woods there." It is Father Porcile's intention, when the new church is finished, to tear down all the buildings now fronting on Broadway the old church, the rectory and the school and build a fine schoolhouse on Aberdeen street, next to the new church; a parochial residence opposite it on De Sales place, knd make a beautiful park between those two buildings, running from Broadway back to the new church. Among the auxiliary organizations of this parish the Holy Name Society, which was organized in 1881, js looked upon as the mainstay in all parochial work. T'aere are many other nourishing organizations, however, connected with this church. Notable ones arc the Rosary Society, organized for the women of the parish; the Sodality of the C.iildren of Mary, established for young women; the Young Men Lyceum, quartered in a fine building on Sumpter street, where ali the advantages for physical and intellectual culture are to be had; the Father Barblcr Council, C.

B. with Its worthy object, that of alleviating the suffering of widows and orphans: the St. Vincent dn Paul Society, continually looking out for the wants of t'je poor; the Temperance Society. formed of men whose constant aim is the elevation of their fellow men; the League of ihe Sacred Heart, one of the largest ceii- ters of this organisation in America; and several lesser social and religious eatah nsnments. While the welfare of the grown people has been carefully attended to, the children Viave not been neglected.

From tho very beginning of the parish a parochial school has been in existence. In 1877 it was placed In charge the Sisters of St. Joseph, by whom It was raised to a standard of excellence not often found. The spiritual welfare of tin-boys is attended to in the St. Aloysius Sodality, and that of the girls In fae Angels' Sodality.

but not least, comes the Leo Lm-talion. a famous body of young soldiers, organized in lfins. It was named in honor of hope Leo then living.

In so and tell her they were satisfied. Miss Clarke knows every book in the library, for she has catalogued them herself. Not only that but she knows on what shelf every book is located and in nine cases out of ten oan lay her hand on the particular spot where the book is. or where it should be. Considering that there are 500 books in the Clarke, the Blind Librarian, and Some library this in Itself Is no mean accomplishment.

W. Wurst. a 4 these accounts and the learned men will argue about the manner In which we of the present day managed to use tin utensilg; with the same zest that present day search- era into the mysteries of the past the habits and mennerisras of man. Some one once remarked that the sword -followed the Bible. Some one else remarked with equal degree of positiveness that the order of things was Just the reverse.

Be i that as it may. it is certain that, whether the sword or gospel has the van in the onward march of civilization, the tin can is not far in the rear. Doubt the truth of this statement? tion some travelerthen. He will tell' you that, if you were suddenly to find yourself i to-day lost in the trackless wastes of Sahara, stranded on one of the palm-covered isles of the South Seas, among the aborigines of Australia, in the almost impasBable 7 forests of Central Africa, in a Tibetan mon-' astery or among the Eskimos, not many hours would pass before you would discover some old tin can the sole link between you and civilization. No matter how it got there; there it is, treasured as a thing priceless, or put to useful purposes, according to tho way the.present owner feels about it.

Some of' the African tribes use the rusting tins as a fetish to propitiate their gods and hold the thing in a reverence equal only to their love for rum. They care not whence thev nr hnw they aru made, so long as they them, and in that their feeling is analogous tothelnterestthe American housewife has for what becomes of the old tin cans she throws'' out. She discovers In the Sunday papers certain bargains in canned tomatoes or peaches "9 cents a can or 98 cants a She buys the dozen to save carfare and for a-, week or two we have tomato soup, or pre- served peaches, at least once' a day. cans, emptied of their contents, -are tossed" contemptuously into the ash barrel and in due course reach the city dumps. Sometimes an old can Is used to adorn the last thing you see of a running dog, aud before the city was built up, boys in the collected the old cans to melt down the solder for bullets for their "bean-shooterS." But aside (rom these the discarded tin cans were thought to have no commercial value.

Then one of the officers of the Kings County Iron Foundry Company conceived the idea that the millions of tin cans thrown on the dumps could be converted Into some- thing useful. The thing was discussed, ex-" periments were made, and in a few month the foundry was used solely for smelting old' tin and other metal scrap found on Hie put'1 lie dumps. The plans wore enlarire in tim and the transformation of old tin cans Into window sash and dumbwaiter weights and such articles has become an industry of 1 unusual profit. There is always a demand' for the product and as the cost of manufacture is astonishingly small, the returns 1 are enormous. Italians are employed to do nothing' else" than collect fae old tin cans' and scrap metal that has been thrown away In the ash barrel.

Wagons with tall board sides, call at stated hours and the collected tins are carted to the foundry at the corner of Berry and North Thirteenth streets. They are' then melte down In great furnaces. Owing to the different degrees of heat at which different metals fuse, the solder In the cans melts first and Is run oft Into special reoeptacles. The rest of the mass -is brought to a semi-liquid state and then cast in molds, according to the shape and size desired. The weights thus formed are hard as cast steel, more durable than if made irom ieaa or iron alone, and cost much less.

It is Impossible to even estimate the-num. ber of old tin cans that are melted in the Kingg County Iron Foundry. Almost everything man could desire in the way of eatables is now packed In tin cans and the number annually consigned to the ash dump is enormous. plant in Berry street, which is right on the border of Greenpoinr, is one of the few places In this country where sash weights are made in this way and it Is not surprising, therefore, that the' owners of the plant preserve a certain -amount of secrecy in their work, for if every manufacturer of sash weights were to adopt their methods, fhere would be a consequent fbrinkage of profits. The demand now is so great, both for export and domestic use, that the plant is never Idle.

One very objectionable feature about the Industry and one that has caused the resi- dents of Greenpolnt much annoyance Is thft sickening odor of the smoke that rises In -olouds from the works. This is due to tho resin that has been used in soldering the cans, burning away under the fierce heat of the furnace, and frequent have been the complaints about it to the Board of PrSrnirtek KISS.
