EDEN UNPOPULAR.
Schemes to Run Hotels Exclusively
for Women Not a Great
- Success.

New York. March 22.-The movement to
build a hotel for women exclusively in
New York is not popular. The projectors
are trying to raise $1,000, 600 by selling 10000
shares of 800 each to women. but although
such leaders of fashion as Mrs. Aston, Mrs.
George F. Baker. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish and
Miss Dodge are managing the enterprise
it isn't a go yet. and this week they are
Wa~ldorf-Astoria to get up some momen-
tum. The plan is to erect a handsome fire.
proof building somewhere between Four
teenth and Forty-Second streets which
shall accommodate from 300 to 500 women
in single rooms or suites of apartments,
as do not wish to keep house may take
their meals.
1t is not intended for working girls, but
to afford freedom. comforts and conven-
fences for a higher grade Of unmarried
women who have moderate incomes. An
apartment of four rooms. with bath and
gas range. is to be let for SIS a month I'M
Il corresponding rate. with transient ac-
c~ommodations in charge of a housekeeper.
There are thousands of women in the
boarding houses of New York. no doubt,
who would be glad to get such quarters,
but the rule that prohibits men from cross
ing the threshold is believed by many to
be fatal to the enterprise. Twenty-Five
years ago. it will be remembered. the late
A. T. Stewart undertook TO establish a
woman's hotel on both philanthropic Inc
commercial grounds, although the guests
were allowed TO receive their gentlemen
friends in the. general parlors at certain
hours. Very few women were willing to

abandoned the experiment.

SUBSTITUTE FOR PEARCE BILL.
Representative Tnwney Submits {
Milder Measure Relating to
Mixed Flour.

Mixed Flour.
Washington. March 22.-Representative
Tawney, of Minnesota, a member of the
subcommittee of the committee on ways
and means. to-day submitted a substitute
for the bill introduced by Mr.. Pearce, of
Missouri. relating to adulterated flour. The
substitute has been drawn to meet objec-
TORS to the Pearce bill. The special tax
10 be paid by manufacturers ard packers
of mixed flour is reduced from 500 to $l2
per annum. The tax on the product Is re-
duced from 20 cents to 4 cents a barrel:
The manufacturers and packers of mixed
flour are required to mark and brand their
flour distinctly SO as to prevent its sale for
that which it is not. The definition OF
mixed -four In the substitute bill Is changed
so as to make more explicit the term
mixed -four"
A new section is also added regulating
the exporting of mixed or blended flour.
Another important change in the substitute
bill Is that the responsibility for the failure
to mark and stamp the packages prop
erly. or to pay the tax on mixed -four.
falls exclusively upon the manufacturer
or packer. entirely relieving the consumer
from any criminal liability on account of
purchasing for consumption mixed flour
on which the tax has not been paid.
