IDEAL PEOPLES PALACE.
Abram Hewitt Tells How a Rich
 Man Might Do Great Good
Peter Cooper's Plans Modified-Brit- ish and American Types of Work ingmen's Institutes Compared
 The Work of the '. NJ. c. A.
teopyright, 1S971

What is the ideal Peoples palaee2
 Depend upon it, good many rich men are thinking about the answer to this problem.
 There is something more than coin cidenee in the recent building Of such great establishments as the Auchmuty schools in New York, the Pratt insti= ute in Brooklyn and the Armour insti- tute in Chicago. Men of wealth who realize their responsibilities are provid- ing many American cities, and eyeA towns of moderate size, with splendid institutions. wherein instruction and amusement are provided in varying pro- portions for all who wish. And there are others ready to follow the example.
 There is no one better qualified to an- swer the query than ex-Mayor and ex- Congressman Abram s. Hewitt, of New York. who, as the son-in-law of Peter Cooper, has for many years been prom inent in the management of Cooper union. Edward Cooper and MT. Hewitt have in the aggregate put into the union millions of dollars. They plunged their hands deep into their own pockets few years ago to repair and enlarge the building-a purpose for which no funds were left by Peter Cooper's will. And MT. Hewitt has recently given an- other Illustration of family methods in announcing new gift of $2Oo,000, be- queathed by Julia Cooper, $100,000 of which was devised in proper form, and $100,000 added as an afterthought in an unwitnessed penciled line rendered valid only by the generous agreement

A Painful Meeting.

dramatic story was told at Ham ilton college alumni dinner in New York. Gen. Schuyler Hamilton gave some interesting incidents from the life of his grandfather and described meeting between Aaron Burr and Mrs Hamilton, daughter-in-law of Alexan- der Hamilton and the mother of the speaker, in 1880. As Col. Burr entered the room," he said, ''my mother, in ex- treme agitation, seemed about to faint Col. Burr, noticing this, but not know ing her, immediately went to the side board, poured out glass of water and advanced to hand it to her. 1t was all done most naturally, gracefully and courteously My mother shook her head and murmured: I am the daugh- ter of Alexander Hamilton Without a word Col Burr placed the glass of wa ter on the sideboard, bowed in silence to the Misses Nathan and quietly re- tired. It was to him, as to my mother, evidently a very painful meeting. Col. Burr deported himself like a dignified gentleman. l was little boy about eight years old. Then Ilearned for the first time to impress the fact upbn my memory that Col. Burr had killed my grandfather."- "-Chicago News.

body somewhere or other. All the boys who have wheels go off on century runs and the like and don't get back until after dark. Grown-up folks are by far our best customers, because they buy ornamental fireworks for use at night. This part of the business is growing fast; has been really revolutionized in the past few years. I'll tell you pretty custom. 4 few years ago the people living on the garden block in upper Brooklyn combined and put in dollar or so apiece for celebration. They had speeches, songs. the reading of the declaration-a regular old-fashioned time of it-and at night fireworks show. The papers took it up, and you'd be surprised to know how many such 'neighborhood clubs there are now. Some that began just by a Fourth of July blowout keep itup all winter with soeials Of one sort or another. Splen- did idea. Fewer frecrackers, more real ly beautiful displays, fewer boys blown up and more old people getting a hand in the game-that's the situation in brief People whc have summer homes use quantities of fireworks. Along the inland lakes folks keep a stock of 'em to salute passing steamers. Illumina- tion night up at the Thousand islands, for instance, along in August; prettiest sight on earth
 Are there really no novelties except the price list?''
 Plenty of them; only that's the most important. Aquatic and aerial fireworks are the strong novelties, as compared with the old set pieces witch are always good, though. The paper balloons are an example. We make lem now in the shape of pigs, ele- plants, men aud horses. and that makes more fun. Then we hitch fire works to them to explode in the air. Besides, they're fairly cheap. What are called electric-light effects are favor ite modification of the old rocket idea. Chromatie candles with rainbow ef- fleets, electric spreaders' which throw out horizontal showers of what look like electric lights, and batteries of col ored stars, fired upright, are novelties of this season. though the principle of all is not new. We have upright nor tars that fire explosive bombs straight into the air. Iou can fire a bomb five feet in diameter, if you like. It will burst and make fine show, but the average private exhibitor wouldn't use many of them at $1so for single shot. No. Then there are some very clever Japanese ideas-by the way, if you want something to put in the paper, tell lem that Chinese frecrackers aren't any more Chinese than I am. Used to

social opportunities of clup 1t would
 be advantageous. This was not Mir. Cooper's plan in building the union, but such an addition need not interfere with it's object"
 Do you agree with Rev. Dr. Rains ford" I asked, that two great down town churches, one on the East sidel and one on the West, with baths, read ing-roonls, clubrooms and the like, would do more for New York than big uptown cathedral?''
 That is a eontroverted point about which l do not cure to express an opin- ion. replied Mr. Hewitt.
