The Plau of Selling Houses by
ST. Rental.
From the Bait. Sun.

It rom Tue DALI. GUN. +.-...... ISIS -|sI
The necessity of finding some mode of
supplying cheaper houses to clerks and
worKingmen in New York has led to
novel suggestion. 1t is proposed by the
writer that enttrprising persons with
money shall build houses of the class
most needed and sell them on monthly
payment that shall not be in excess of
fair rental for the ze and style of the
building-these monthly payments secur-
ing to the renter, in ten years, a free and
clear fee-simple It'll, 10 the property
Gong into details, the writer states that
on the out kirts of Brooklyn or Jersey
City desirable lots, convenient to street
railways, can now be bought for $500.
His proposition is that capitalist buy
fifty such lots of 25 feet front, split the
lots in two and put on them fifty houses
12f feet front and % feet deep, each con-
tanning fonr rooms land offer them for sale
at 81 month for ten years. Each house
would be bu 1t of wood. The hous. s
would be of two-stories, with substantial
frames, sheathed with hemlock boards
and covered with six-inch Michigan sid
ing, the roof timed, the interior walls
hard finished, and good cellar uuder-
neatn. 1t is estimated that such houses
in blocks of eight, ami having front por-
ches and venetian blinds, could be built,
and well built, for S340 each. As the
regular width Of the lot is tive nty-tive feet
two houses would stand on a lot, which
would reduce the price ofeach lot to 500
and make total cost of house and lot $40
These house could be sold by the builder
after adding 10per cent. for his profit, for
$4o4, or, including annual interest of
per cent, they could be sold to a tenant
for So paid monthly, With fee title at
the end often years. The ordinary rem
tai of houses with similar accommodate
tions in the vicinity of New Y ork is said
to be $40 per month whereas by the plan
above described the purchasing tenant,
by simply paying his stipulated monthly
rent of ST would have, in ten years, a
clear title to the house he was occupying
in the meanwhile. Now as to the capi-
talst. His account, we are told would
stand thus :-"He Will have received
per cent. upon his investment, this being
included in the Sc per month. He will
also have received 2 per cent. profit on
the houses and lots sold. And as he has
covered with the fifty houses only one
half of his lots, he will have whatever
enhanced vaiue his remaining twenty
five full lots have acquir' d. A low esti-
mate of this will, probably, be 100 pei
cent, or say S5,000-that is, he will have
received his per cent. inter- st, and in
addition 2o1 per cent. upon the total $21 /,
900 invested" The proposition to build
and sell, on monthly rental, houses oi
better kinds res on the same princi-
pie.

Gen. Dix has paid cruel penalty for his
innate gallantry by having his name dragged
into the Newell divorce proceedings in New
York. When the General was United States
minister at Paris, he did Mrs. Newell tho
honor to present her to the French court.
The old gentleman seems to have inspired
Mr.. Newell with jealousy, as appears from
the following, which Mrs. Newell wrote to
her husband from Paris in 1869:
NM DEAR: You are jealous of Mr.. Dix,
simply because out of politiness and respect
he should call. My dear, You seem to think
that l can't even look upon o gentleman
without you must be jealous. I always tell
you of every one who calls upon me, and /
tell you every place go, and with whom
What more can do? You know perfectly
well went in company with Mr.. Dix when
l was presented at court, but at the Same
time was with his family, and Mr.. D. was
kind enough 10 be my escort.
She tells him also that she has "alwayB
been his loving, dutiful wife, which hardly
accords with an emphatic sentence in q let
ter to Boardman: but must perform my
duty toward one really dislike. Yes; shall
I say it? Toward one truly hate.'' Tho
letters make it truly appear that jealousy
was NewelPs normal condition, but now and
then, in a relapse, he would claim as his best
friends those of whom he was most jealous.
After he had permitted his jealous pangs to
separate himself and wife, he urged her to
60 and see Boardman, whom he hoped
would be spared to many more years Of use
fulness and happiness. Newell has closed
his case, and his wife will now try to show
that her luxuriant letters to Boardman were
only the innocent and affectionate gushipgs
of a foster daughter.

Discovery Of an old Map.

A novel discovery has been made in tho
library of Lyons, France. It is map of
the entire system of the central plateau OF
Africa, which has been of late years explored
by Grant, Baker, Livingstone and Stanley.
The system is traced upon globe which was
constructed in 1901, and contains in detail
the sources of the Nile and the Congo. This
map was executed by order of Fathers
Placide de Saint Amour, principal of ths
Monastery of the Third Order of St. Francis,
by Crispurien of Toulon, and by the monks
of Bonaventure and Gregoire, both con-
nected with the above establishment. The
report does not mention the name of the c1-
plorers. The modern maps place the source
of the two rivers slightly to the northward
of that Just discovered.
