Il At. Stewards Charity Failure.
Mr.. Stewart was a very gifted shop
line gave him both fame and wealth.
Bnt he knew as little ofacharity as he
cared for it; and when he came, at the
close of his life. to attempt something in
that direction, he blundered with a ia
cility and self-eonfidence which ought
to be enduringly instructive. rs 1t had
been urged upon him that he owed
something to the working girls who had
done so much to build up his fortune;
and so, tardily and ignorantly, he set
about scheme in their behalf. He
built huge structure, capable of hous-
ing a thousand people Every feature
of this structure, in view of the purpose
for which it was designed, wasa glaring
ncongruity-and then, when he had
completed it, he condescended to ask the
counsel of experts as to carrying his
scheme into execution. He was informed
by those whose counsel he ought long
before to have sought that the very
character of his building prohibited It
from being useful. He was shown that
to assemble one thousand young women
under one roof in q working -woman's
house, was to necessitate one Of two
things: either police so vigilant and
so intrusive as to be to any decent girl
intolerable; or else, a laxity so .provoca-
tive of evil as almost to guarantee it.
He was shown that he ought to have
built a series of small houses, each with
a matron or housekeeper of its own,
and each, to contain dozen girls, at
most, where the surveillance could have
been constant without being obtrusiye,
and where something like domesticity
would have made q home in name q
home in fact. But Mr.. Stewart believed
in Mr.. Stewart. Successful
men generally believe in themselves. He
showed this in his architecture, which
was hideous, where it might as easily
have been graceful and pleasing! He
showed it in his charitable plans, to
which he gave but little thought, and in
which he chose to be sufficient to him.
self. And so his great wealth has re-,
suited in no service to his fellow7towns-
people and in scanty honor to his memo
ry. 1t is story which may profitablyj
be read by other rich men.-Centuryl
