COMSTOCK TALKS TO MOTHERS.
HE TELLS THEM OF A CoRRUPTING INFLU-
ENCE TO WHICH CHILDREN ARE
BEING Subjected

Anthony Comstock addressed the Society for the
set children. 1T is safe to say" he said that
there is not an institution of learning for the
young that is free from the corrupt and degrading
influence Of indecent literature and pictures"
Mr. Comstock related that a short time ago he
was entering at a railroad station, and
passed through a group OF schoolboys on the plat
form. "One was handing a small book 10 another -
he said. and as I took my seat I recalled it,
went out 10 the boy and asked him TO let me see
the pamphlet which he finally did. I tried to find
out where the boy procured it. He told me and I
got off the train Newark with the group and
went TO their school. I found that every bow in
that school and several girls from sixteen to nine
teen years of age had the same kind of literature
Step by step traced the source until came TO a
beautiful girl in lovely home. who received it
from young man of good family living in a neigh
poring town II I had 10 choose between seeing
the mind of my own little girl so corrupted and
ouryIng her, would cheerfully dig her grave
with my hands"
Fashionable educational institutions are M mora
secure than the public schools. and Mr.. Comstock
gave many instances.
I am speaking of this horrible fact for your
sons sake and your daughters sake" he said
these degrading influences, for | have found them
IN the hands of youths of best families In
many cases the boys who had made themselves
agents for the spread of corrUptiOn have hsen re-
garded as the best boys in school -
IN the discussion that followed the president
Mrs. Almon Hensley. said that, painful the sub
yeCt, was women ought 10 be glad to learn the
truth. When we know that our own children are
IN this terrible danger she said. lit may make

WE'LL KNOWN LANDMARK SOLD
UNITED STATES HOTEL ONCE CALLED
"HOLTS FOLLY" CHANGES
HANDS AGAIN

The old United States Hotel. in Fulton-st.. was
sold yesterday by c. E. Harrell. for the Tilden
estate. for little less than S225.OOO. 1t
is understood that the buyer whose name was
not made public will build a twelve story
commercial and office building on the premises.
The buyer is a client of Mr.. HarreIrs
The hotel was sold at the New-York Real
Estate Salesroom. No Ill Broadway, on April
William ] Blodgett. one of the heirs Of the
third was disposed of by the court for the
Blodgett heirs.
The United States Hotel has been standing
for bout threequarters of a century. and was
the property of William Tiden and William J..
Blodgett, the latter the father of the man who
bought II at auction in 1901. It is a six story
and basement building of granite and brick
with frontage in Fulton-st. of 100 feet, in
Pearl-st of about 76 feet and in Water-st. of
about 50 feet
The hotel was opened in 1882 and came to
be known among the New Workers of that day
as Hollis Folly" from the name OF its builder
and owner. who laid out far more on the place
than the demands of the day seemed 70 war
rant In his regime the owner had made for
himself and for the hotel a reputation which
extended beyond the confines of this city. II
was the headquarters for navy officers and the
resting place of the London and Liverpool
packet captains when in port. For many years
the tower top of the hotel used as a
ship signal station, for at that period the six
stories of the United States Hotel made it the
highest structure in the neighbOrhood, and a
point of prominence throughout the town. The
arrival of vessels was siSnalled by flags from
ernor's Island and from there to the tower of
the hotel, which told the news to the citizens
