plot. The easterly house Of the main
building was Mr.. Stewards residence
I'D to within five years Of his death.
From the entrance, narrow winding
stairways lead up TO the upper floors.
While Mr.. Stewart leased the westerly
portion OF the house, he held the option
Of the entire second floor. which was
readily transformed into one reception
hall by means of folding doors. The
interior decorations savored OF the
French. Whites and Colds predomina-
ted. All the rooms are large, the cell
ings being particularly high. The dark
Railways were lighted by huge chande-
liers.
Great changes have occurred in the
residence since the old days when br1l-
liant companies assembled to ENJOY
their hosts hospitality. The few ira
ces OF it's former splendor that still re-
main are fast fading away. The once
luxurious reception rooms are now oc-
cupied by provision shops; offices are 10
be found in some of the rooms up stairs
while foreign families are huddled to-
gether in others. An iron lattice over
the entrance is all but rusted away,
and the brown-stone pillars. that stand
upon each side of the arch, are Clipped
and defaced by ugly signs. Doors have
been split and broken, and frescoes
have long since lost their color. The
inches where graceful statues used TO
stand are now receptacles for all sorts
Of odds and ends. In the courtyard
where groups OF servants used 10 gath
er for chaff and gossip, are now heard
the sounds of a tin shop. Junk and old
wagons are piled up and stored away
here in a promiscuous heap. Dirt and
~hnfr
over everything The splendor OF the
past is now hardly more than dream.
At the period when the Stewart
house was built. Blocker street was the
most fashionable thoroughfare Of the
city. There was hardly a shop in this
vicinity. Eighth street was practically
the end of the town. There was SOL
itary hay-market on the present site
of Cooper union, to which farmers drove
their OK teams, but Eighth street was
practically the end Of the town Be
yond Seventeenth street orchards and
meadow lands stretched away 10 the
northward as far as the Harlem river.
The Stewart house now has suffered
the fate Of all the old houses of the dis
trict. nearly all of which are occupied
by German or Hebrew families. Some
of the old drawing rooms are now lined
by coun ters; almost all OF the basement
hove hean given over 20 trade. Yet
not a few Of the old time Characters
tics still remain. II Is interesting to
walk through upper Sullivan street.
for instance, and see the incongruities
of pretentious white pillars and brown
stone steps, surrounded by innumera-
BILE little trade marts. New structures
are fast taking the places OF the old
ones. and II Will not be long before all
vestiges Of the former grandeur VIII be
utterly gone.

Ran \ way from Home Because Afraid

A case which may have TO be investigated
by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
TO Children turned up in the Eighth pre-
cinct last night, when Charlie Newman,
ten years of age, was taken in custody
by Policeman Yctton as a fugitive frorR
his parents. and told a pitiful tale of
cruelty on the part of his mother.
While making his rounds above Brookland
Yetton came across IA small boy with two
papers under his arm When questioned
the lad said he was running way from his
home because if he returned with unsold
papers he would receive II severe chastise-
mcnt p
The policeman sent the boy to the sta
ton, where he told a pitiful story TO Sergt
HARRISON.
His mother, he said, made him sell papers
very day and bring home the proceeds. If
he could not sell ali of his papers he would
be beaten by his mother with rope
thong.
Yesterday he was given five cents by
.nis mother with which TO buy copies of
The Times, and with his papers under his
arm the boy went toward Florida avenue,
in the meantime selling eight of his papers.
AShefelt hungry, the boy said, he boughta
two-Cent sandwich and penny mOIasses
cake. Fearing that should he so home with
a deficit of three cents he would be severely
beaten, the boy decided TO run away, as
Pearlc Newma n, afourteen year-Old brother,
had done three weeks before, and was max
ing his way into the country when found by
the police.
The boy appeared to be emaCiated, and
when Dr. Cannon was called into the sta
ton, he said the boy had been starved.
The lads shoulder was terribly lacerated,
apparently by lash, as was his leg also.
The little prisoner was taken TO DR..
Cannon's house by the kind-ncarted ply
Sican, ana giyca a meal which hu rayene
ouSly devoured.
Mrs. Shenor, mother OF the boy, is the wife
of Fireman Newman, who was killed about
two years ago while driving an engine To
a fire. She afterwards married a man
named Shenor, who also died. She re-

Moore's Cemetery, Just back Of Stanton
town, rear HIISdaIe, is in bad repUte with
the health office, all owing 10 the burial one
day last week, by Jake Moore, the pro-
prietor. of a coiored infant, for which there
was no permit.
The matter came to the knowledge OF
DR. Woodward and an investigation was
ordered \ strange state of affairs was
revealed
Moore admitted burying the child. but
said the parents offered aim paper which
be supposed was all right. He said he had
no way of determining, because he could
neither read nor write, ard his wife. who
assists at the cemetery, was equally as
illiterate
1t developed that the paper shown him
was a death certificate given by DR. Was-
son, the physician to the poor The GER
-uficate showed that the death was devoid
OF any criminal circumstances, but the lack
Of a proper burial permit revealed q loose
and careless management of the cemetery
As Moore and his wife cannot determine
whether a person has permit the health
department. is of opinion that other eases
may have happened.
The cemetery is a private enterprise and
used by coIored people. Some time age
another coIored burying ground owner was
convicted in the police court and fined S25.
The circumstances were very similar. and
it is believed when the report Of the in
spector is laid before Health Officer Wood

ALDER PLAYS PoSSUM.

Circulating Reports That He Has
Killed Himself TO Escape Arrest
Thomas Alder. OF Anacostia, who was
reported as having made two attempts TO
kill himself, is alive and is hiding in the
country outside OF AnacOstia Ii has
been learned that at no time did he
contemplate ending his existence, although
statements that he jumped from the Ben
ming bridge, and later endeavored to hang
himself in a barn near Silver Hill, have
been made
1t was learned that warrant yesterday
was in the hands Of the Ana costa police for
his arrest on Il charge of disorderly conduct.
The young mans mother is the complain
ant. About week ago Alder came home
and, it is alleged, had some trouble with
Mrs Alder at her home on Jackson street.
During the quarrel number of dishes
were smashed to pieces. Alder fled from
his home, and has not been seen in the town
since Mrs. Alder swore out a warrant
against her son, who, learning that the
police were awaiting his return, had the
news of his alleged attempt at dro wning
brought to Ana costa
1t was hoped that Mrs Alder would re-
lent and withdraw the charge. This she
refused TO do. Last Thursday an unknown
young man came to the Anacostia sta
ton and inquired Of station-keeper Eckloff
what collateral would be accepted i f Alder
returned and gave himself up.
The emiSsary received no satisfaction,
and the next day word was sent Mrs. Alder
that young man had attempted to hang
himself in an old barn in the country,
and the wouid-be suicide was believed to
be her son. The news did not cause the
mother to relent, for ii was then generally
believed that young Alder was trying to
work upon her feelings.
Mrs. Alder is the widow of Policeman
Alder, who was killed some years ago The
family is a much respected one
