New York, Sept. 26.-From the
pulpit OF historic Trinity church in the
heart of the country's. great financial
district, Rt., Rev. Arthur Foley Win
,nington, bishop of London, at noon to-
day delivered the message: Life is. a
stewardship, not an ownership" A
greater throng, perhaps, never sought
admission to the edifice, and when all
who could be- accommodated were
within, hundreds fingered outside; to
catch a glimpse of the noted divine.
Notable laynen and men prominent
|in Wall Street had to stand on the
edge Of the crowd. J. Pierpont Nor
gan stood at the end of the aisle
throughout the opening services. Then
younger man gave him his seat.
It was surely not such an audience
as the bishop was accustomed to dur
ing the nine years of his settlement
work in the East End OF London. As
head Of Oxford House, today he said:

longer the expensive luxury it used to
be. Now the man of modest means,
even the day workman, can have a
home as safe from fire as the palatial
dwelling of the ultra wealthy.
That this fact is becoming known is
shown by the number of dwellings
costing as low as $4,000 which are now
being erected all over the country. A
notable example Is a row of cottages
built just outside of Pittsburg. These
were constructed throughout of hol-
low tile at an expenditure OF $4,000
each-about 500 more than If they had
been built of wood.
This increase Is Offset by the fact
that the use of the hollow blocks
make them warmer in winter, cooler
in summer free from damp and YER
min and as secure from fire as any of
the mansions in millionaires' row.

special TO evening IellSE.
NEW YORK, March 19.-Private
residences recently built and now un-
der process of construction show that
it is becoming the practice to use the
same fire-proofing precautions In
residences as in lofty hotels and sky
scrapers. 1t seems that every owner
is determined that his carefully plan
home shall not be swallowed up in
flames and smoke.
In Charles M. Schwab's house-it
looks more like palace at Riverside
Drive and Seventy street, there
are more than 100000 square feet of
terra Gotta hollow tile blocks in the
arches, partitions and roof. There is
nearly as much in the new residence
of Mr.. Payne Whitney, son of the late
w. C. Whitney, at 972 Fifth avenue;
and in the next house, 973 Fifth ave-
nue., there are some 10000 square feet
of this fire proofing material.
Distinctly a Departure.
This is Distinctly departure in the
construction of private dwelling houses
Not many years ago such extra pre-
cautions against fire as are now be-
coming customary were unknown. The
| change is due partly to the greater
size and value of modern residences,
but chiefly to the increased knowledge
of the extent of fire losses and reali-
zation of what due precautions will
mean in the way of preventives-
1t is not altogether matter of life
danger in low buildings-but of saw
ing property. When a man of wealth
equips his house with furniture, ia
| pestrie and art treasures worth many
thousands of dollars it Is a matter OF
concern that they shall not be destroy

prevent fire.
