PASTOR QUIETLY BUILDS
WORKING GIRLS HOTEL

NEW YORK.--While as women's

their individual capacity have been
talking about the crying need for q
working girls hotel, and racking their
composite brains for feasible schemes
TO get the necessary money. the pas
tor Of a little church in Harlem Is
busy building one.
About two years and a half ago Il
occurred to Rev. II. NJ Tyndall that
the by-products Of building eKoava-
lions In the city might be put to a
better use than that Of increasing the
size Of various dump heaps. Why
shouldn't they be purchased, he rea.
soned, for a nominal sum by con.
tractors who are putting up concrete
buildings and be used for his new
plan? He determined to become the
first Of these contractors. His congre.
cation had already decided that the
pastors project OF a hotel for working
girls under the auspices OF the Peo
pies tabernacle at So East One Hun
dred and Second street was worthy
and practicable and were ready &c
pledge their support
So Mr.. Tyndall bought the stone
and sand. and collected a force oil
Italian laborers to turn It into con
crete. In the intervals when he WASH
bossing the mixing he was drawing
pictures Of a ave-stoTy and basement
building with 10 rooms and a complet,
assortment Of comforts and some lux

TABLES SHOW PERCENTAGE
Statistics to Prove World of Trade
Lacks Adequate Deputation in
State Assemblies.

Indianapolis, Oct .-speciaL-The
last four general assemblies have con-
tanned six hundred members-four hun
dred representatives and two hundred
senator's. The various occupations rep
resented in this number were as fol-
lows: Law 221. or 81 per cent; farming.
121 or 20 per cent; medicine, So, or 8
per cent; manufacturing, %. OF 4 per
cent; printing and publishing, 20 or
) per cent banking, 16. or per cent;
mercantile pursuits. 62, or 10 per cent;
and miscellaneous. 80 or Is per cent.
This statistical story is made use of
by the promoters of the Indiana Com
mercial league, to point out the fact
that the business men of the state have
been inadequately represented in the
legislature. The story bears out their
contention that business men, actively
engaged all the time in looking after
their own peculiar interests, are wont
to let politics alone and to allow others.
particularly lawyers. to conduct the ad-
ministration of affairs. The statistics
show that of the 600 legislators OF the
past four general assemblies only IA
per cent have been drawn from the
business men of the state. This IA per
cent is made up of the twenty six man
ufacturers and sixty-two persons en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits included
in the compilation. OF course the
twenty printers and publishers and six
teen bankers might be classed as bust
ness men, and yet not strictly so in
the general acceptance of the terms.
League to Arouse Public Spirit.
1t is to arouse business men to their
responsibilities as good citizens and
to increase their representation in the
legislative halls and in public offices
that the Indiana Commercial League,
recently organized, was brought into
existence. The promoters wish to i'm
press upon the business men OF the
state that they are allowing their in
terests to suffer by leaving the work
OF aw-making to lawyers, doctors,
farmers and others not interested in the
things depended upon by them.
Exposition of the objects and pur-
poses of the new league is made in a
statement issued by Charles B. Riley.
chairman of the Leagues executive
committee.
1t is the intention to urge business
men to participate in political primaries
and conventions and to take d hand in
selecting candidates that will legislate
wisely and honestly in their behalf.
