S _— —— HIGH TRIBUTE PAID | TOALFRED HARDING Late Bishop of Washington Is Honored at Service in National Cathedral. SERMON IS BY DR. PERRY Qualities of Courage and Faith Eu- logized—Plans for Memorial - Announced. The late Alfred. Harding, second Bishop of the Episcopal diocese of ‘Washington, .was eulogized at a me- morial service today in Bethlehem Chapel of the National Cathedral, at Mount St. Alban's, of which he was the “first builder.” The service was participated in by five bishops of the Episcopal Church and most of the Episcopal clergy of the dlocese of Washington, and was on the oceasion of St. Paul's day, the anniversary of the consecration of Bishop Harding. The sermon was delivered by Rt. Rev. Dr. James De Wolf Perry, Bish- on of Rhode Island, while Ri. Rev, Dr. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Waghington, was the celebrant. Other Episcopal bishops participating were: Bishop William L. Gravatt of West Virginia, Bishop Philip M. Rhine- lander, now in the city, and Bishop Joseph B. Cheshire of North® Carolina. Opens With Procession. The service opened with an impres- sive procession of the choir and all clergy in attendance and members of the Cathedral chapter. In the memorial address the late Bishop Harding was eulogized for both the “quality of courage.” which ‘was sald to be the keynote of his character, and for his faith, which was likened to that of St. Paul. Bishop Freeman after the service made the announcement on behalf of the Cathdral Chapter that plans were going forward for a great memorial to be erected to Bishop Harding in connection with the National Cathe- dral. In the “bidding prayer” of the service the late Bishop Harding was referred to as follows: 1 Other Church Services. inally, ve shall thank God this day for the good work and the Christian faith and life of His soldfer and servant, Alfred Harding. bishop and doctor, 'and pray unto God that Fe may have grace to direct our | lives and render our service after his wholesome pattern; that this life ended, we may be made partakers with him of the glorlous resurrettion and the life everlasting.” The memory of Bishop Harding was also revered In services in Episcopal | churches throughout the diocese of Washington. These services, which otherwise would have been held in celebration of the Holy Eucharist at 11 o'clock,” were so arrahged as to permit the congregations and clergy to attend the service at the Behle- | hem Chapter. Act “of Daring Fhith.” Bishop Perry, in his memorial ad-, dress, referred to the planning of the National Cathedral in Bishop Sat- terlee’s administration as an act “of daring faith,” and to the actual building begun by Bishop Harding as an act of great courage “In the face of apparently insuperable ob- stacles and in the face of determined opposition.” Bothlehem chapel and the sanctu- ary now completed were said by Bishop Perry to be “both a monu- ment to the name of the founder, and a shrine which~ahetk~ever be per- vaded by the spirit of the first bulld- er of the cathedral.” Referring to the fact that the anni- versary of the consecration of Bishop Harding fell upon the festival of the conversion 'of St. Paul, and the patronal feast day of the parish, the ! speaker said the iife of Bishop Hard- | ing “reflects the spirit of the Apostle Paul, chiefly in the quality of cour- age which was the keynote of his character. One folt it in the dynamic power which he brought to bear upon every new duty.” Began Work 14 Years Ago. When Bishop Harding began his work fourteen years ago, the speaker said, it was with “meager begin- nings.” Less than one-seventh of the property had been acquired. Not stone had been laid. “The problem he explained, was not one.primarily of material construction, but of edu- cation.” Bishop Harding had dedicated him- selt at first to put into action, it was HIGHWAYMAN GIVEN 7 YEARS IN PRISON Assailant of Colored Girl Gets Five Years in the Penitentiary.

Bishop Harding was eulogized as a modest man, speaking never of him- self or his part in the enterprise, but paying tribute to Bishop Satterlee, the founder. “Pervading and inspiring the whole plan and the agencies that were af- fecting it, there was a single purpose which filled Alfred Harding's soul,” said Bishop Perry. “It was the wor- ship of God in spirit and in truth. This dynamic devotion gave convinc- ing and compelling power to the bishop’s every word when he spoke of the cathedral. he chapel and the sanctuary towering above it are the visible em- bodiment of hls devotion, his com- pleted handiwork. But the heritage that we recelve from him surpass this. That must be found in the ex- panse of the cathedral yet unbullt. The substance of his life work is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Thes: in the Apostle Paul's conception spel explained, the charter granted the ca- faith, and these contain the secret of Bishop Harding’s power.” MERCHANTS BANK & TRUST COMPANY PROTECTION THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON.

C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, —By WEBSTER. | ? 1924. YOUSOUPOFF GEM String of Black Pearls Be- lieved to Have Been Worn by Marie Antoinette. PRICE UNDER $400,000! Mrs. Townsend Gave Them to Her Daughter as Birthday Gift. The ancestral black pearls of the Archduchess Yousoupoff, centuries. flld‘ and possibly once the coveted adorn- ment of Marle Antoinette, have been purchased by Mrs. Richard Townsend of this city and presented to her daughter, Mrs. Peter Goelet Gerry, as a birthday gift. Although Mrs. Townsend said to- day she did not feel at liberty to dis- close the purchase price, she said it was somewhat less than $400,000, earlier reports of the jewels' cost hav- ing been exaggerated. The string of forty-two pearls, is not long, but the gems are of rare size and sald to be matched with amazing perfection. Jt was brought! to the United States by the Prince Felix Yousoupoff, said to be the slay- er of the monk, Rasputin. Correct History Undetermined. The correct history of the gems could not be determined definitely to- day, although it was understood they date centuries earlier than the time of the last czarina, who was reputed to have been the last previous ownel It is known that they were the a cestral gems of the Archduche: Yousoupoff, and are believed to have once been the most treasured Dosses- sion of Marie Antoinette. Mrs. Townsend said she knew noth- ing of the history of the string, her interest ending after her daughter, the wife of Senator Gerry of Rhode Island, selected them as her birthday present. Satisfied that they were genuine black pearls, she bought them, and would have preferred to have let the matter drop there, but news of the transaction became known through the jewelry house that arranged the sale. Mrs. Gerry Is Elated. Mrs. Gerry first saw them in New York last week. They were brought to Washington for Mrs. Townsend to view and the latter part of last week they became the property of Mrs. Gerry. Although her birthday falls on February 11, Mrs. Gerry was so elated that she 'has worn them sev- eral times at dinner parties. Whaever the origin of the pearls, their true history is expected to prove intensely ‘Interesting. Black pearls {nvariably have been the cholcest treasure of rovalty and vet sorrow and trouble almost alw, have been assoclated with thier pos- session. Many rumors have attended the famous black pearls of Russia and hearsay has had them sold to many different royal families and notables.

United States | Industries Association, CASALS’ CELLO WORK DELIGHTS AUDIENCE positions Displays Great Abilities of Artist. Pablo Casals, the Spanish ’cellist, who has won an international reputa- tion for his virtuosity, presented a program of unusually heavy compo- sitions at the National Theater yes- terday afternoon before an audience that filled the house. First, there was Handel's “Sonata in G,” with its mighty chords of rich melody, which was followed immediately by Bocche- rini‘s “Concerto in B Flat.”” This work of the old Italian composer, who was himself a ‘cellist, was particularly impressive. The feature of the afternoon was the work in Bach's “Suite in G,” In which Mr. Casals illustrated his skill in many intricacles of bowing and shades of mood. The group of old dances, ranged from ancient Teutonic melodies to the sprightly jig. The only concession that Mr. Casals made to the less musicianly part of his audience was the final group of real- 1y lovely short compositions. Grana- dos, famous composer of Casals' na- tive land. was represented by the ex- quisite “Intermezzo” from “Goyescas and “Danse Espagnole.” Faure's “Papillon” was delicately given, and Popper’s brilliant “Mazurka™ alded in lightening the more weighty beauty of the remainder of the program. Faure's “Apres un Reve” was the only encore. Edouard Gendron, the youthful planist-accompanist, was exceptional- 1y competent, and gave evidence of an individuality of touch and beauty of legato work that promise much for his future. His fineness of perception and co-operation were particularly noticeable In the Granados selections. H.H.F. ART AND INDUSTRY BUILDING PROPOSAL Resolution Creating Commis- sion to Consider Project Offered in House. Creation of a commission to con- sider the proposal for a central bulld- ing of art and industry to be erected in the District of Columbla at a cost of about $1,000,000, is proposed in the joint resolution introduced today by Chafrman Langley of the House com- mittee on public buildings grounds, which has been referred to that committee. This resolution cites that American Art and Industries Associa- ion proposes to create a national art center for applied and industrial arts to encourage, organize and develop American art and industry to higher standards of quality for supremacy in world trade. Chairman Langley’s Views. Chairman Langley says that this association has expressed a desire to establish this center here in the Na- tional Capital because of the national industrial, artistic and patriotic sig- nificance of such a center. The asso- clation contemplates the erection of a building, and Is desirous that it should harmonize and accord with the public bulldings program of the District of Columbia. Creates Joint Commission. The joint resolution proposes that a commission be created consisting of two members of the Senate, appointed by the Vice President, and two mem- bers of the House, appointed by the Speaker, from the Senate and House committees on public buildings and grounds, and four additional members to be selected by the President, who shall represent the executive branch i STAR CONTEST AID 10 SCHOOL WORK Hundreds of Pupils Writa Essays About “Best News Story.” Hundreds of pupils in the Distric{ public school hadve started writing ess says to be supmitted in The Star’s “best news story contest,” according to reports recefived by school officialg today from teachers.
