MUNIfTCEFGE OF WR. STEWART, OF
NEW Y0RK-H0kES FOR W0RaINGKEN
AND WOMEN,

For some time past it has been knowr
by a few that Mr.. A. L. Stewart ha
med tie q charitable enterprise on /,
colossal scale. 1t is intimated that |:
will eclipse in magnitude all other In
stances OF private muniflcence, and viii
operate in direction where. more than
in any other in this city, a helping hand
IL needed. The object which Mr.. Stew.
art has in view cannot be stated here
precisely, but is enough to know that
his generosity is to benefit laborinp
men.
Mr.. Stewart proposes in word. 70
erect homes for the w0rkingmen and
women of New York, and already
ground has been broken for the fouu8a-
tioa ofo OF these institutions. It is
to be erected on Fourth avenue. be-
tween Thirty-second and Thirtv-third
streets. This spot has been cleared ct
oil old buildings, and for a week past
men have been at work digging out old
stones and cellars, preparatory to the
work for the new structure. The
ground on which, it is ito stand Is the
large vacant square opposite the New
Haven tunnel. Ii contains twenty two
lots, for which Mr.. Stewart paid about
$4,000 apiece two years ago, and ex-
tends the whole distance between Thir-
ty-seeond and Thirty-third streets, 1913
feet, running back 205 feet.
On this square magnificent building
Is to he raised, iron, fire proof, seven
stories high, and architecturally finer
than any other structure in the city.
This will be the working women's no.
tel. Here sewing girls, feminine clerks,
women OF every trade,
are to be provided with board and room
for the smallest possible sum. and the
house is to be managed in the best man
ner. The ground floors may be lef. out
for stores, the proceeds so be applied to
the building of other similar institu-
tons. The entire cost OF the hotel will
be about $1,000 600. The ediflce will
not be completed in less than two years.
1t is understood that Mr.. Stewart also
proposes to put up, in time, working
mems hotel on the same plan.
