SURVIVAL OF 'sEwART's. +"
1t has been matter of considerable
to know what was to be done
with Stewards marble store. spoke of
this in former letter, as being so big an
elephant, that there seemed to be no use
for it, 1t is now reported that new
partnership is to be formed, comprising |
Judge Hilton's son and several of the old |
employees of the store, to continue the
business under the old name of A. T. |
Stewart & Co. Mrs. Stewart is said to
object to the name being allowed to die
o t,end perhaps she backs up her claims
by furnishing part of the necessary cap
ital. The young men must be cautious;
they cannot make money out OF the name
OF the dead merchant, unless they have
an inheritance of some of his brains to
accompany the same. Meantime, hear
that the old store at the corner of Cham
bers Street, is to be raised two or three
stories and turned into offices, which is
the best use that can be made of it. Of
fee property down town pays handsome
dividends, and although the building is
out of range of the most active demand,
it should command pr ,ftable figures.
PALACE CARS FOR HEAVEN.
see another one of our City Church
organizations has arranged to build new
church on the corner of Madison Avenue
and en- uptown street-right among the
nabobs. OF course, it is to have all the
modern improvements, and it is announc-
ed that it is to be fitted up in style be-
fitting the swell proclivities of its sur.
roundings. No end of money is to be
spent in making it comfortable and at
tractive for the millionaires, so they can
go to church in style and worship God
with all the luxurics of the times. 1t will
be no place for poor man or woman.
The gliding and the carving, and the ele-
giant upholstery are not for them, They
can take the ordinary churches or the
emigrant cars on the heavenly road, if
they can find them. This is one of the
palace cars for the New Jerusalem, and
if any poor trayeier who wants to get
there, happens to venture in he will be
Informed by the pompous porter-I mean
the seXton-that the seats are all engaged
for the season, at price for each that
would send one hundred poor children
to the country for fortnight, or keep a
poor family from want for year. We
must have this thing in sty lie you see, and
must draw the line between the rich and
the rest of the world, even in our church
es. Otherwise We might find somebody
possessing less than halt million in the
next compartment to us, as we neared
the golden gate, and that would be toe
shocking for anything to some of the
Murray Hill Christians.
SUNDAY WASH.
Down on the Jersey Coast, there ore
several plac originally selected fol
c,mp meeting grounds. Having beer

make money by creating watering places
