and opportunity be given to the assistants
and s~ubordinates. While the plan Of doing
out the places Of assistant physicians to those
who may be able to pass the best examination
has some arguments in its support, they are
few and feeble. 1t is not always the man
who can pass a brilliant examination who
proves the most useful in a subordinate place;
indeed, it is the exception; for the qualities
which led to the examinational success, and
the spirit ordinarily born out of it, are the
very things that necessarily destroy his USE
fulness.
But the point Of what we desired to say is,
that it is time to have done with the q%uarrels
Of doctors; it is time to stop the Impairment
of an institution like the City Hospital, be-
cause of such childishness as has been devel-
oped by former and the present investigations;
it is time to employ a competent, and efficient,
and trustworthy superintendent, and then to
give HIM such control as will allow him the
selection of all his assistants and subordinates,
and then intelligently to hold him to a rigor-
Gus and righteous responsibility, closing the
ears against the whisperings of professional
jealousy, or the pryings and spyings of petit
coated or unpetticoated gossips.

WILLIAM III. VANDERBILT.
The Worries of the Millionaire Over His Man
sion and His Mausoleum.

AAAO VI tAO v
sion and His Mausoleum.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
NEW YORK, Oct. 24-William 81. Vanderbilt is
concerned about his mansion in Fifth avenue
and his mausoleum on Staten Island. The
mortuary structure is we'll along toward com
pletion, and he visits it every day or two. The
masonry is to be done by tonight, and then only
decorative work will be lacking. The millionaire
is much absorbed in this tomb, which will have
cost 800. 900 when all is ready to receive his
body. In the matter of the Vanderbilt resi-
dences, of which there are altogether five in
Fifth avenue, the head of the family rests I'M
easily because the street is fast turning into o
business thoroughfare, and the laying of
horse-railroad tracks threatens to hasten
that change. A big grocery has
been opened at Fifty street. the lower cor
ner of Central Park, and stores are scattered all
along down the avenue. The fate of the famous
street is deemed so certain that an enormou
building, occupying the block between Fifty
eighth and Fifty ninth, intended for a family
apartment house of the most fashionable charac-
ter, is to be finished off as a hotel, the owner de-
spairing of filing it with the desired tenants.
The residents of Fifth avenue are fast scattering
into the side streets. Vanderbilt does not wish
either to move or to be surrounded by traffic.
He thinks that the impending annoyance can be
deferred, if not averted, by defeating the scheme
for a street railroad. To that end he has devised
a stage line to supply residents with handy tran
sit and make them content without rails. He is
giving his personal attention to this matter, and,
to all intents and purposes. has become a cham
pion of Safeguarding against railroading. His
time during the week has been devoted to the
requirement of an abandoned franchise, under
which he will capitalize and equip a service of
improved stages. He has taken the opin-
ions of many experts as to just what Oscillations
of the old-fashioned coach ought to be attempted.
and the outcome is likely to be something very
luxurious on wheels. The block right across the
way from his own and two daughters homes is
a Roman Catholic orphan asylum, the site of
which has long been in the market, but at prices
that prevented a sale. Vanderbilt and Cardinal
McCloskey could never agree on a sum, though
the former made several offers; but now he has
renewed negotiations, and is willing to pay
whatever may be demanded, because he breads
the erection of stores there. He is not greatly
helped by neighbors, however. in his efforts to
save Fifth avenue. Two of Jay Gould's partners
are interested in the railroad project. and Gould
is planning to build a residence elsewhere. The
three families of Astors live in antiquated
houses, and contemplate new homes facing Cen
trail Park. So vanderbilt's palatial architecture
seems sure to be left undesirable for Vanderbilt
Occupancy.

Conjecture Over the Sudden Displacement Of
Their Manager, Henry Clair.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4-CoDjecture has run wild
about the sudden displacement Of Henry Clair
as landlord of the hotels belonging to the estate
of the late Alexander 7. Stewart They are the
Park-avenue and Metropolitan, in this city, and
Grand Union and Windsor at Saratoga. Neither
Clair nor Henry Hilton. the controller of the
Widow Stewards property, will give the reason
OF the change, which was made without warning
at the expiration of the annual contract. 1t ia
learned, however, that the row was caused by
no discovery of villainy in anybody, as one re-
port said, but was the result of q radical disa
greement over terms. Clair had conducted thu
business on a salary, with the chance Of
a percentage of the profits should any be
made on the aggregate of business done in the
four establishments. There was a good deal of
criticism of Hilton by the prospective heirs Co
the estate-three nieces OF Mrs. Stewart--whe
were extremely jealous Of his potency, and fear
full that he would get too large a remembrance in
her will. They surmised, too. that it was not to
his interest that the real estate should be highly
productive. The cross purposes became so in
trlcate that an exposition of them cannot be at
tempted. But it is clear that the Metropolitan

charge for this whole meal. This oddly in ca
tering beat the noted Italian tables dhote in
quantity as well as in quality, because there was
no restriction to a choice of dish from each
course. The guest could have several kinds Of
fowl or roasts served, if he wished, and the mar
wells Of these dinners cheapness brought throngs
of diners. 1t was over the policy of giving SO

MINOR MENTION.

REV. DIR. ISAAC NJ. WISE, rabbi in charge of
the Plum street Temple, Cincinnati, in an address
on infdelity, ascribes much of it to the fact that
the churches teach too much doctrine. When
the Doctor sought a definition of the term infdel,
he went to a Catholic. and was told that whoever
differed from the Catholic is an infdel. The
Baptist answered similarly; so did the Presbyter-
ian; and so did they all, not excepting the Unfair
ian. In fact. the Jew who believed more than
he did, called him an infdei; 80 he concluded
that in the general acceptation Of the term, in
fidelity consists in not believing In the same

The Rev. w. G. Stiles, of st. Louis,
preached last Sunday on "Sam Jones and Re-
y~iyals." He said that Gods use Of the humble
and despised to bring about His ends puzzled
sksptics, and excited the wonder of the re-
6gious world. AT first, Boston culture
Eneered at Moody. = Gods messen-
gers always attack current evils. Christ did
not spare the sinners of his time, and rebuked
them in words as plain and bold as Sam Jones
uses to-day. To compare Sam Jones and Mr..
Moody is libelous to the latter, and. it is bias
phemous to use his name in the same connec-
ton with that of Jesus. Did the Rev. Mr..
Stiles ever read in the record of the ministry
of Jesus Christ such offensive and ribald
stuff as the man Jones breaches"
IN the pulpits that are opened
to him2 Outside Of the inspired record, do
any of the writer's Of Jewish history give to
4hs ministry of Jesus such a favor as there is
about the ministry q of Sam JonesG 1t
would seem enough to paralyze the tongue of
M honorable, thoughtful, prayerful minister
Of the gospel of Jesus Christ to utter the
name of his Master in connection with "Sam"
Jones, whose slang and coarse invective are a
shame and scandal to the name Of religion.
We do not believe the cause of true morals
and of religion is aided by such ''evangelists"
as Sam Jones, nor by such methods as the
Salvation Army. Jesus was as intensely
earnest to save men, to revolutionize society,
and to ~evangelize the world as either Sam
Jones or General Booth; but no one ever
heard of Jesus cracking jokes in
the synagogues, or using slang to
siartle people, or telling stories
to make them laugh. No one ever saw Jesus
marching through the streets of the cities of
the Holy Land playing a banjo or a tamborine,
or beating a snare-drum, and dressed in a
fantastic uniform. He did not have among
his apostles or disciples any Captain
Charleys," or Lieutenant Lizas," to precede
him with a trombone or to chant words to such
a tune as champagne Charley" Christianity
did notdream OF such "evangelists," or of such
evangalization. Their discovery was reserved
for the nineteenth century-a century so pro-
life in many other bizarre and attractive"
features Of social, political and religious life.
The Journal has an utter and deep.seated
adherence for all of them. They are foreign
to the spirit and purpose Of Christianity,
which is to save men-to save them from such
extremes of folly, among other things, so that
they may live righteously and soberly before
The world. To compare Moody with ''Sam"
Jones is to compare Hyperion with satyr; to
compare "Sam" Jones with Jesus Christ is
beyond characterization.

story tenement-houses in which large families

two Roman Catholic churches, but the majority
of the people did not worship at all. This state
of things became somewhat of a scandal to the
