The . Street flats, seventeen in num-
Der, the first TO be built for cOlored
tenants, are models Of neatness, and 10
pass down the quiet street one would
never know but that they held the very
best class of white tenants.
Many Of the coIored people are of the

eminent employees who are educating
their children. laying up to buy homes,
and getting on their feet. as they never
could have done but for the work OF
the Sanitary Housing Company.
Big Salaries Cut Down.
Another philanthropic move on the
part of this company, is the theory that
large salaries or commissions are gen
orally expected by the officers of COM
panies heretofore organized. getting in
on the ground floor being another means
Of eating up profits while no officer of
the Sanitary Improvement Company re
ceives a penny for services.
Every service of this kind is rendered
gratuitously, and the only person OF
stakeholder who gets a commission is
the agent who collects the rents, looks
after repairs, and SO on. His commits
sion is 5 per cent.

naturally feels that the landlord IS will

Nowhere on the face of the earth Is
there more need for such work as this
for the laboring classes, Washington's
tenement districts are the worst IN the
United States. and the foulest specimen
Of them all, is the famous Willow Tree
Alley, not half a block from the foot
Of the Capitol grounds, where Iegis-
lators pass back and forth every day
while Congress is In session. Many OF
the alleys in this intricate maze are
not more than ten or twelve feet wide,
and serve as a resort OF the lawless
criminals who are part Of every great
city.
Will Invade Alleys.
It is the intention Of the Sanitary I'm
provement Company 10 get possession
Of some Of the alley property. and with
the surplus Of the company, experiment
on this class of tenants.
While the companies are both work
ed on purely business PRINCIPLES. and
the Sanitary Improvement Company
pays its stockholders 5 per cent an
nually without fail. and the Sanitary
Housing Company is designed to pay
per cent on the investment, there is
never a time when the agent Is not will

said TO the credit Of the unfortunate,
the company has never lost a cent
through its kindness.
In fact, the philanthropic side OF the

All the work of papering the fats,
plumbing, carpenters work, and other
repairs is given to the occupants Of the
flats. IL a good workman, sober and up
right, happens to be out of work, and
applies 10 the sanitary flats for quar-
tiers, he is given d chance in the world,
by being allowed to move in without

BEATS THE RECORD.

A friend of the late Bishop Hunting
ton was spending a Sunday in Edin-
burgh. and followed the crowd 10 the
church of a celebrated preacher.
At the close Of the service he said 10
the clergyman: THAT was a remark
ably fine sermon" The minister, pulled
with pride said: Thank you, thank
YOU. But" said the Boston man. I
have heard II before: II is one OF Bishop
Huntingtou'S sermons. An, yes; 1

could never have gotten il off as / did.

gregationalist, whose only comment is

ing to educate the lower class up TO
lt-a purely philanthropic work, with
but little reward TO those interested.
The next consideration, therefore, was
for the Woodworking class, who, through
poverty, and a lack Of decent tene-
ments for their accommodation, are
driven into places to raise their chill
dren that are but little better than the
alleys, and not at all conducive to
health or neatness.
From the Top Down.
In other words. the theory of the
model tenement district Of the world
was to begin at the top and work down.
The class yacating for the new, sanitary
buildings would naturally give way TO
those one step below. and 50 on until
there would be no demand for the con-
demned, vermin-flled, filthy alley
houses. Had the company acted other
wise It would evidently have resulted in
failure; as # Is it has established a
standard of sanitary homes at reason
able rentals, which other landlords are
bound 10 adopt, or the Sanitary I'm
provement Company will supply the
demand.

equipped car lines in the city, which line
starts within a few hundred feet Of the
Treasury Building is one block from the
State. War. and Navy Departments, and
passes the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing It is from these departments
that the sanitary nats draw most Of
their tenants.
They are long rows of neat, two-story
brick buildings on either side Of the
street. the upper fats having bay win
dOws, and the lower ones a large double
window. Each house contains two fats,
an upper and a lower one. The first few
built contained from three 10 four
rooms, but II was proven by the de-
mand that four rooms gave better sat
isfaction, so the company has had all
OF It's plans since that time prepared
for the larger number Of rooms.
Demand New Increases.
The demand for these fats has so in

TO see these garments worn,
L said the clerk of a haber-
dashery store where the win
dow was filed with shirts OF the most
startling combinations of colors. They
were from s. 10 s. each at that. No
such rainbow shirts are made in cheap
goods.
The various combinations were what

Yes, ! should say that il would re-
quire a good deal of moral courage for

The drygoods clerk is a cultured man,
temporarily on a small salary, and to
be compelled to move into such quar-
ters as he could rent in Washington for
80 per month, would either entail much
discomfort for lack of room, or a resort
to part Of the town not only incon-
Yenient for his work, but where the en-
viTonment would be very distasteful.

Brokers Hear They viii Corner

Signs Of the Move in To-Day's
Trading.

Daniel j. Sully and Col. william p.
Brown have formed a partnership, &C
cording to private advices from New Or
leans. These men have operated in the
cotton market Independently. but have
both been bulls. Mr.. Sully is credited
with prohting by the advance in the
price OF cotton to the extent OF 81, ooO. 900,
and Col. Brown is believed to nave made
as much.
Both began buying cotton around
cents, and they have bought for months
on every decline and have sold on every
shary rally. They unloaded thousands
and thousands OF bales around the top
prices.
Each has a powerful clique back of
him and by forming n partnership these
two combinations, which command
millions. will be In a position to control
the price OF cotton absolutely.
1t Is said that the object of the coali-
ton is to corne the cotton of the
cotton OF the spring months.
Members of the New York Cotton Ex-
change were discussing the report to-
day. A majority believed that the
story is r u and said that the action

proved 1t.
