RATHER SARCASTIC
nr. Stewards Property and Judge
Hilton.

From the New York sun. ..,.-.,
The bOquest Of one million dollars by
Mr.. A. T. Stewart to Mr.. Henry Hilton,
We presume is the largest bequest ever
made In this country to person not relat.
ed by blood or marriage to the testator.
And now the conveyance by Mrs. Corne.
liza ". Stewart, widow Of A. 7. Stewart
to Mr.. Henry Hilton, is sometIug still
more astonishing. For the sum Of one
million dollars she conveys to him all
her interest in the real and personal pro-
perry belonging to A. I. Stewart Il Co, in
GLIDING all the real estate, mills, factories,
and other property, whether standing in
Mr.. SIeWart's name or the name OF the
firm, used for the purposes OF the part
nership. This property must amount TO
many million dollars.
Mrs. Stewart states, in the conveyance,
a one Of the considerations, her desire
to efFectuate the wishes Of her late hus-
band, that the business in which he was
engaged may be continued and carried
on, the same as II he were living. OF
course this could not be done II the new
drm had not ample capital. This Is fur
nished 10 the senior partner, Mr.. Hilton,
by her conveyance. -.
The transfer does not include any real
estate in the city Of New York. But in
lsmuch as the Tenth street store stands
On leased land, this Is not very Important
Besides, considering that the Working
Women'I Hotel Is very dubious exPer-
imenI, it may BE- better for the new firm
not to be saddled with It. Indeed, 1t Is
quite a sign Of shrewdness in Mr.. Hilton,
almost worthy Of Mr.. Stewart himself
not to include this, in taking convey
ince Of what he wanted, but to "let II
slide"
There is no reason to doubt that the
great wealth Of Mr.. Stewart will now be
devoIed to purposes Of real charity, as he
understood il. It will not be wasted or
given away. twill 90 on accommodating
IN the hands OF Mr.. Hilton. TOquoLe
Mr. Hilton's own words, spoken no
longer than day before yesterday, "it Ia
more charitable TO furnish employment to
men and women than il is to destroy their
'eli.reSpect by giving them money as to
PanPer.' Assuredly, gentleman oil
Me-. Hilton's present wealth will not be
guilty of destroying any ones self
respect. "
The Union League and other societies
having great expectations" may feel
disappointed; but the public will per.
eeive that the new firm has now plenty ot
capital to bny for cash, and at the very
lowest cash prices. The one-priee system
which has worked so well, and given q
decided advantage over competitors, will
Dc continued. The devotion OF Mrs.
stewart to the memory Of her husband,
MSy'nE more where he had given much,
VI! DO warmly commended. Youths who
aays ,een old men rewarded by thou
land dollars for having served Mr.. Stew
