BUILDING TO MARK GROWTH OF
sEAmEN's INSTITUTE.
New York Enterprise Which Has
Done Much TO Help Morally and
Spiritually the Sailor Lads
While In City.

This coming spring ground will be
broken near the Battery. New York
city. for a 100000 building for the
Seamen's Church institute. an organi-
cation which was formed in 1908
through the efforts OF Rev. Archibald
II Mansfield. who appreciated the de-
plorable condition Of seamen and es-
tablished readingroom for the sail
ors over a saloon. The house was one
In which Robert Fulton. inventor OF
the steamboat. lived for many years.
and where he died. II was kept as no
memorial 10 him. however. and was.
all In all. as forlorn n rookery as
could be found In the lower city. In
the basement was n saloon where men
OF the sea were freely robbed. II was
situated there because It was only
next door TO the shipping office OF the
British consulate. where the crews OF
vessels were paid OF. and II was only
fight OF steps down into oblivion.
The readlng-roor' and headquarters
established on what had once been the
parior floor did not find the saloon a
congenial nelghbor. The result was
that the chaplain won. The beer
pumps were taken out and the bottles
were packed up and the institute tock
possession.
One OF the strongest allies It found
was the British consulate. The Brit
lsh shipping Office. at No. State
street. was surrounded on pay day by
crimps and others OF that Tx who
were winning riches by preying upon
the sailors. In the old days there
were cases reported where the sailor
was separated from his money before
he had descended the street. The
chaplain proposed that the consulate
give room In one corner OF the ship
ping Office for bank. He opened a
booth there where n clerk received
as they were willing 20 leave.
II was intlmated that n relatively
small part Of the six or eight months
earnings which some Of them had ac-
cumulated was sufficient for taking n
day view OF the city OF New York.
The sailors agreed with the idea and
formed the habit OF leaving their
money. all but a few dollars. with the
new banker. They returned In 4 day
or so Just as well satisfied.
