Henry Phipps, the wealthy steel
manufacturer Of New York. who in

Of model tenemsnts in New York
city, is greatly interested in the pos
sibilities of the two.family concrete
houses planned by Thomas A Ellison.
the inventor, aud which. it is claimed,
can be built within II hours at cost
of 81 900 to 81 200. he has recently
visited Est Orange, examined Mr..
Eiison's models and talked with the
inventor regarding his plans.
Mr.. E iison will have the mold for
. full-sized double-residsnce cast
this winter, aud az soon as the frost is
out of the ground next spring he will
build one of the houses near his lab
otatory. If it proves satisfactory,
Mr.. Phipp', probably in cooperation
with other wealthy men. will take
hold Of the project and erect large
lumber of these houses near New
York city. They will, in fact, create
a city of concrete.
Mr.. Ellison, in speaking Of Mr..
Phipps' interest and visit, said:
"Mr. Phipps and his expert. have

house. he is seeking, as ! am, to
help the man who works in the ditch
and who can only afford to pay 30 or
$40 q month rent for two-room

"Mr. Phipps thinks, as l do, that
my house will solve the problem. It
is for me to build one of these houses,
to create the unit. Soma one else
must build the city, and Mr.. Phipps
seems to be the proper man to put it
up. Whether his plans are to form a
corporation or to handle it himself l

Youngstown, Ohio. Sept. n.-Aithough
expecting to be investigated by the COM
ing conference in Cleveland on charges
Of heresy, DR.. c. w. Tinsley continues
to preach doctrines to which other pas
tors Of his church here object.
Dr. Tinsley declares that Emerson,
Carlyle, and other poets and philosophers
were prophets OF God. just as were the
prophets Of old.
Epworth Church is torn by a faetional
fight resulting from the bringing Of
charges against Tlnsley by Rev. 5. T.
Wood. pastor 'of Epworth. At the guar
terly conference no request was made for
Woods return. His friends now say the
meeting was snap" affair, and are call
ing another.
In Tinsieys prophet sermon he said.
in part:
The old prophets were not so much
foreteIiers as they were forthteuers; not
predlctors Of future events as much as
they were interpreters Of God 10 men.
There were specially rich periods when
prophecy came GO great heights of power
The people knew when the message was
poor, as they do to-day They knew
when the prophets vision was not clear,
and they salt that they were the losers
because OF il.
Every generation has its seers. Car
lyle. Ruskin, Browning. Tennyson. and
Emerson were all real prophets OF God.
