Esza THE STEWART PALACE.
Efforts Being Made to Get 1t Tor
Club house.

NEW YORK, Feb 25-When the late Mrs.
A. 7. Stewart ed the Zig white marble
palace at the corner of Fifth avenue and
Thirty-fourth street, that all tn world has
read of and which the lady so long occupied
as home, was left in charge OF faithful
old housekeeper and a retinue OF servants
IL Is a gorgeous palace. 1t was built by
y. I. Stewart at a time when labor ana ma
terial were expensive No one knows now
much it cost, but certainly not penny less
than s., 800. 600 Now IL Is in the market.
The Stewart executors have decided 70 sell
it, and those per. ons who have decided to IN
spect 1t with view to purchase nave had an
| opportunity b. visit all the rooms. The ea-
tabiishment has been carried on the same as
/ though both Mr.. ard Mrs Stewart were
alive The blinds are drawn as they always
we've during their occupancy Of the massive
pile. The house is swept, busted and cleaned
regularly each week A solitary gas Jet
tilckers IN the gorgeous hall as 1t did when
Stewart lived. A detective PAGES up and
down IN front Of the house, night and day,
and the - rvantS come and 60 just the same
rs when the lady of the mansion occupied
her magnificent boulder Nothing in the
house has been disturbed but the
pictures. They were sold at auc-
ton. The rich lace curtains hang
at the windows, and the carpets that
We're especially made for each room still
cover the floor. Not a speck Of dirt is seen
anywhere. The faithful Old housekeeper
and the servants live their monotonous life,
and curious passers-by, when they see the
gas lighted in the servants rooms wonder
If the ghost of the great merchant prince
has not returned to the palatlal home that
brought hun only death. The building Will
be sold IN few weeks. Experts estimate
that 1t may bring over SsOO,OOO. Several
clubs are negotiating for 1T, and one or two
bonanza kings hope to get it, but nobody
seems over anxious about it. The impress
sion has gone forth that it is unucky, and
lew persons care to tempt fate even in this
workaday world. DAVID WECHsLER

A FACE.

Hope has a tender daybreak in her eyes
That casts a happy morning on her way.
Her FACET is an image of the day,
As pure and sunny as the summer skies;
And when she smiles Il halo round her lies
Whose light seems born of heavens most holy
ray.
Her lips are sweet as dainty flowers in MAY,
Yet wear n thoughtfumess that makes them
wise.
Oh, shining facet God bless thee everywhere:
little sun by day, by night star,
To bring bright cheer where pain and sorrow
are.
God keep thy gentle forehead free from care,
Thine eyes keepever from the mist of tears,
To smile a lasting sunshine on thy years
