WHY Is IT?
A NEW SUPERSTITION.
The Great New York Mlllionaires
Afraid to Build Costly Mansions.

New York Letter an Philadelphia Press
Since Cornelius Vanderbilt's costly
city dwelling upon Fifth avenue, just
south of the plaza, was completed nc
propositions for costly and conspicuous
private mansions have been offered
to the architects.
There is reluctance, due in part Ito
a superstition not frankly acknowledge
ed, to spend great sums In building
city homes or country residences, E.
C. Benedict's 81 600, 900 country seat,
erected upon the site of Tweed's Amer
icus club house, is conspicuous as an
exception.
There are melancholy recollections
that may IN part explain this superstl-
ly mansions erected not many years
ago for August Belmont and Marshall
o. Roberts and Edwards Pierrepont
and James Gordon Bennett are desert
ed and are to be delivered over to trade.
The elder Bennett had beautiful
country place at the farther northern
point of Manhattan Island, but had
not many years. enjoyment on 1T, nor
did Charles O'Conor, who was his
neighbor IN this then country retreat,
ind that he had bought much else
there than ill health, which drove him
to Nantucket island to pass his declin-
Ing years.
C. P. Huntington is said to have
superstition that ill fortune will attend
him if he occupies the granite mansion
he built on Fifth avenue, nearly OPP
posite the Vanderbilt house.
Yet it may be that he is merely
calling to mind the experience OF
some of his friends. Charles J. Osborn
the broker, built costly home just out
OF the city, only to die in it, and the
neighboring mansion of the millionaire
FIagIer was closed in mourning soon al
ter he occupied it.
J, B. Bostwick's charming place at
Mamaroneck was his to enjoy not very
long. Aspinwall met with misfortune
soon after he built his famous place
at Tarrytown, and not long after the
William Rockefeller enlarged and i'm
proved it his son was brought almost
to deaths door.
Elliot F. Shepard died even before
the great mansion he was building at |
was completed, and A. T.
Stewart was barely settled in the mar
bic palace which he built on Fifth ave-
nue. when death called him.
William H. Vanderbllt's first stroke of
paralysis came soon after his new home
on Fifth avenue was completed, and
there, few years later, came with the
swiftness of the lightning's stroke the
fatal attack. The marble house in
which William K. Vanderbilt expected
TO maintain conspicuous social festlvlty
became of such gloomy association by
reason of domestic troubles that he
it, while Cornelius Wander
ollt had been in all only few months
n his new mansion when his active
bowers were shattered, and so the list
,ould be extended.
There is no need to do that to show I
hat Mr.. Huntington's fear may be +
Tue to pardonable superstition, or
hat there are other reasons than a re-
nctance to spend money that explain
Thy it is that the building of costly
rivate mansions is the only invest l
aent in real estate from which the .
reater capitalists seem to SHRINK. !.

courted rather than condemned. The
goodly garment and the wedge of gold
have blinded the eyes of conscience to
the transgression of the law. A con-
Stunning worldliness is the disease at
our vitals. Buying, accommodating, pos
sessing the garment and the gold is not
worldliness, but valuing the garment
and the gold so high that we will take
them at any cost-thats worldliness
At that point Jesus had His controver-
sy in the Wilderness; at that point
every unworldly man has had his fight.
q fight which is only won by those
whose eyes God has opened to true val

Those fine words of Dean Stanley
contain the final utterance on this
whole matter: There is such a thing
as worldly spirit, and there Is such a
thing as an unworldly spirit-and &C
cording as we partake of the one or the
other the SAVIOR of the sacrifice of our
lives is ordinary, commonplace, poor
and base; or elevating, invigorating,
useful, noble and holy

weak or wilful violation of the laws
that guard the moral order, that makes
raiment, and riches lead to ruin"

WELL KNOWN IN WEST HAVEN

Some of an Old Navigators Present
and Past Experiences.
The New London Day remarks as
below concerning Captain Tribble, who
used to command the excursion steamer
George r. Kelsey, which was named in
honor of our late esteemed and enter
prising West Haven townsman, George
r. Kelsey father Of Israel r. Kelsey:
l am told that the wrecking schooner
Edwin Post, commanded by Captain j..
Fred Tribble of Mystic, has been at
tached for debt at the instance of some
of the workmen who were employed
upon her during last seasons work on
the new bridge at Hartford. 1t is said
that the men would have been paid ere
this but for poor collections. AS 1t is,
the sheriff's keeper has been to twenty
days expense aboard Of the vessel and
is beginning to get frightened at the
poor prospect of getting any money out
of the proceeding.
The ways of the law are devious.
Captain Tribble used to command the
excursion steamer Geo r. Kelsey out
of this port. He has been interested in
many marine enterprises in connection
with this place, and has seen life Of
adventure and good and bad luck. AS
the Day once told, he was in charge of
the steamer Stonington in the time of
the cholera scare, with the oeean
steamer Normannia's first cabin pas
sengers on board. The Stonington was
used as quarantine boat, and the pas
sengers offered the now grizzled cap
tain a roll of 100000 in good U. S.
greenbacks if he would land them any,
where on terra frma so that they could
get to their homes. The captain, how
ever, managed to refuse the fortune
and did his duty, although as the mat
ter terminated, he might have taken
the money without endangering the
public safety, for there was no cholera
among the passengers
At another time Captain Tribble,
while acting as marine reporter for
the Associated Press, was swept off
by the ice in the night at Sandy Hook
and was reported over the country as
dead. He barely caught and boarded
a steamer at anchor and saved his life
in this way. Captain Tribble's many
friends will wish him success in steer
ing out of his present financial dol
drums.

GENERAL SECRETARY FENNo

OF the Railroad Y. M. c. A. Speaks at
Grace M. E. Church.
At Grace M. E. church yesterday
morning, in the absence of the pastor,
Mr.. c. E. Fenno, general secretary of
the Railroad Y. M. c. A., preached on
the subject Growth in Grace from
the text II. Peter, 3:1S, Grow in grace. y
He spoke in substance as follows:
There are two generally accepted
meanings of the word grace, the scrip
tural and the common We use the
word in it's scriptural sense when we
speak of the free grace of God It's
common meaning comes out when used
in business to speak of three days of
grace, or as when we speak of a grace
full speaker or skater
There Is a certain involuntary grace
such as that we see in trees and flow
ers, the product of a growth uncon-
scious and without exercise of will
power. But to grow in Christian grace
is possible for man alone. This is be-
cause He alone of all animate nature
possesses the power of reasoning and
willing. The apostle In the words
Of the text is referring to this power of
willing to those of his readers.
This is an ability every man has
to grow in Christian grace This abil-
ity and power to grow in grace is illus
trated by numerous examples in scrip
tural history. Man has not only the
power to grow in grace, but it his duty
to so grow.
zone of the means of growing in
grace is by study, thought and prayer.
Every man who seeks grace honestly
will get a conception of the grace of
God Another means of growing in
grace is by expression or practice Get
faith in Jesus Christ and build up from
this corner stone. Growth in grace is
not sudden; 1t is slow, sometimes tedi-
Gus and most discouraging. But, like
the growth in anything else, there
comes a time when one feels that he is
beginning to accomplish what he is
striving for"
