LOAN SOCIETY PROSPEROUS.
Small Salaried People Patronize Union
Square Institution.

No remedial loan society in New York
occupies a ground floor Office at present.
All prefer to give TO their clients the bene-
fit OF some privacy, and believe those who
really want the loans Will find them with
out the aid OF a show window or street
sign.
Almost every day the papers contain
some new evidence of the real need for
borrowing that exists among small salaried
people To meet this need, without taxi
ing advantage Of the clients necessity, is
the aim Of the new Chsttel Loan Society,
at No 50 Union Square. For more than
month an encouraging number OF clients
have found the way to it's office in spite
Of it's location on an upper floor.
From the success of similar societies I'm
twenty-onc other cities and from the rec
ord OF it's own first month, its general man
ager, Mr. Stevens, feels sure that It will
prosper It's work is I'm Manhattan only,
but it's charter covers greater New York
and eventually branches are to be estab-
lished in all the bOroughs.

Hale was in the most dangerous posi-
ton. as he was compelled to stand during
the ten minutes the machine remained In
the air. As far as is known, no fights
have ever been attempted before with more
than three passengers.
Beatty had no trouble In getting the ma

COACHING SEASON OPENS
Morris E, Hewlett Drives Six in
Hand, Instead of Usual Four

win the old coach Magnet and a six
m-hand instead Of the customary four. Nor
IFS e. Hewlett opened the coaching season
OF 1872 yesterday. with Arrowhead Inn as
the objective point
Inc use of six instead of four horses was
caused by a discussion among several
horSemen in which il was generally agreed
that coach and six could not be fooled
through the congested traffic Of city
streets, Mr.. Hewlett taking exception. II
was admitted that the trip might be nego-
uated with a specially trained team but
not with horses selected at random, so Mr.
Hewlett permitted one of the party to select
any six horses he desired from his stable.
Starting at noon. the coach was fooled
down Broadway to 3Sth street, east to Fifth
avenue, up Fifth avenue to the Plaza, into
Central Park and by the East Drive to the
Seventh avenue and 10th street entrance,
with stop at the Casino. where the whip
negotiated figure ciGhts and SIS as easily
as though he had his customary four
horses. Emerging from Central Park the
coach went westward to MOrnngside Park
way, thence to 10th street to Riverside,
northward TO l25th street, 10 Broadway,
and thence by way Of Broadway and Fort
Washington avenue to Arrowhead Inn, at
lIth street whore the trip down steep
serpenrinc route Of Arrowhead I'm, with
its two harpn turns. was negotiated, de-
spite the miserable condition OF the road,
with the horses on q run.

MODEL APARTMENTS A BOON
"Philanthrophy and 4 Per Cent"
a Real Estate Classic.

The moving van companies doing bust
ness I'm the vicinity of Nos. 236, 2fO, 244
and 24S West saith street have not waited
until the time honored list Of May to get
busy this year. Early this month these
four houses known as Phipps houses No
g. were opened as model homes for col
ored families. The sign hanging on the
outside says: For Respectable Colored
Families" The management asserts that
the colored tenants are treated as cour-
teously as the white tenants in Phipps
houses No. l on East 3lst street. On the
opening day 100 families moved I'm and
the remaining seventy-fve apartments
have been filed since.
Miss l. Louise Taylor, who has been
in charge of other model tenements on
the West Side for some years. also Is to
manage these. She is gratified by the
many expressions Of appreciation from
the tenants Miss Taylor said:
To go through these buildings once on
a rent collecting tour and talk with the
tenants is to realize that such houses help
MI Iong-felt need. The people show
their appreciation Of the light rooms and
the many Conveniences. These are the
only steam heated apartments In the
like the baths. too About half these
apartments have private ba this. and for
the benefit of those who cannot afford a
private bath there are two shower and
three tub baths, nicely appointed and we'll
cared for, on the main corridor Of each
house. These are accessible at all times.
Most Of the apartments are Of two or
three rooms because we find the families
I'm the four-room fats are inclined to take
dodgers. We haven't any rule against
that. but we discourage it, We want each
family TO take only as much room as II
can pay rent for without having TO take
boarders
The appearance II the Railways, with
their white marble stairs. goes far to con-
firm Miss Taylor's claim that the place is
we'll cared for These buildings are un-
der the management Of the City and
Suburban Homes Company, whose motto,
philanthropy and Four Per Cent" has
become almost a classic.

Consumptives to Dwell in Apartments

The experiment OF treating number or

not intended as substitute for regular
hospitals and sanatoria.

WONDER AT HINMAN BILLS
Swift Course of Assembly Prof

III, Tclerrarh 10 rhe Tribnnc. |


Albany. March 2S.-The remarkably rapid
progress made by two bills introduced re-
Gently by Asscmblyman Human, known
familarly as "Barnes's Assemblyman,' is
causing no less wondcrment in legislative
circles than the somewhat remarkable
character OF ono OF the measures. There is
no apparent connection between the two
hils-ndeed. they were introduced a week
apart-yct they are linked in the logisla
tive gossip
The first bill-the one that excited COM
ment-incorporates the Lyon Real Estate
Mortgage and Title Guaranty COMPANY
The inCOrporatOrs are Peter -. Herman q
local real estate man: John J. Gallogly
vice-prcsidont Of the First National Bank
known as Dix bank; Edward w Ran
kin. Charles NJ. Winchester, a vice-presi-
dent of the Lyon Printing Company, the
state printers; Palmer Gayit, son-in-law Of
Anthony \. Brady. and James b. Lyon.
The corporation is to have q capital stock
Of 10000. It is to have all the powers CON
fcrred by the general and stock corporation
laws and the banking law; all powers Of =
title guarantee company under the insur-
ance law, and also the right and power to
buy, sell, exchange, lease, mortgage and
otherwise acquire deal in and DISPOSE Of
real estate of every kind, and to hold. own
control, develop, build on, improve, man
age and operate the same" with these
sweeping powers, tho corporation shall he
under the sole supervision and control Of
the Superintendent of Banks" This bill
has passed the Assembly and is on the or
der Of final passage in the Senate.
The second bill is a very simple one. II
was introduced March % by Mr.. Hlnman,
and was passed by the Assembly and sent
to the Senate to-day. 1t authorizes tho
trustees Of public buildings to sell the
states building known as Geological Hall.
This building occupies site distinctly
desirable for an office building, thing
much needed in this city at present. The
argument given for the passage Of this
bill IS that the state no longer needs
Geological Hall, as all the states activities
now carried on there will he transferred
10 the new educational building soon. But
lust at present the state is paying much
rent for various departments scattered
around the city and even when the Capitol
is rebuilt. 50 that the departments rendered
homeless by the FIRE can return, the state \
annual payments for rent representing
pro0ts to owucrs II real estate, will he
copsiderable So some legislators cannot
500 why the state should sell this building.
The proposal to sell it Is new, az only
ii short time ago extensive repairs ana al
tcrations in il were made. II is common
gossip in town that some OF the indivldu-
ais in tho group Of corporators Of the Lyon
Real Estate Company have an option on
the Christian Brothers School building
adjoining Geological Hall.
