ing out the details.
"As the general idea fixed itself more
and more in his mind Mr.. Bayles had
drawings and blue prints made of
large building wherein various needs
of sailors ashore could be ministered
to. He went all over the city trying
to decide upon the best location for
such plant as he had in mind. Nari-
Gus sites in Brooklyn were debated
as well as others along the North River
After long and careful consideration
Il was decided that the spot where
this building now stands is and always
will be the central spot TO which deep
water men will naturally grav,tate
when in the port of New York.
AS soon as this was finally deter
mined. Mr.. Baylies, with shrewdest and
most far seeing skill, manipulated the
purchase Of some five separate plots
Of land needed to give us the present
commanding site. This single item Of
purchasing the real estate took a year
at the least.
Some Of the land was held by own
ers who did not want to sell for senti-
mental reasons-their ancestors had
occupied it in past generations, 1t had

come down to them by bequest and
they wished always to keep 1t in the
family. In other cases the purchase
was held up by heirs who differed as
to conditions and so on. If Mr. Bay
lies was discouraged at any time during
these protracted negotiations he never
showed IT, He kept right along, cheer
full, optimistic, always sure that every
thing would come out right in the end.
| may add that the purchases were
made through one of the largest real
estate firms I'm the city, and that since
then the institute has received from
members of the firm financial assist
ance far larger than the sum II could
have made through commissions in the
business transaction.
when the real estate finally was
acquired Mr.. Baylies Interested his in
innate friends Whitney Warren and
, Charles Wetmore, to make plans which
not only would meet all requirements for
serving the sailors but would also in
clude an appropriate scheme for ex-
terror decoration. Mr.. Baylies wanted
something that would be unique-some-
thing that would stand out on this cor
ner wholly different from any other
example of architecture in the whole
city. His general idea was that as the
building was to occupy a corner on
Coentles Slip, the proper thing would
be "A reproduction on a large scale OF
the old type of Dutch warehouse.
with this idea in mind Mr.. War
rem and Mr.. Wetmore set to work. and

public and semi-public buildings they
have designed during their long and
distinguished careers they put more
skill. more conscientious effort, or

tute. They located the chapel on the

living rooms, recreation rooms, reading

glneers, so that those of each class
would feel at home among their fell
lows, Storage room was provided for
baggage, large and adequate space for
handling mail matter-in brief, every
possible contingency was foreseen and
met. At last the plans were completed

impression that Mr.. Baylles has de-
voted himself principally to the getting
of money. For he understands better
than most people that without personal
interest, the human bond Of man with

Morgan listened to the plans and start

$4,000. He recognized that here was
"A population of so many thousand

Bayies wanted to do something for
them, and wanted to do it right
"And the same plain, frank PROPOSE
ton likewise appealed to John ID.
Rockefeller, who also subscribed
$4,000. Additional gifts from Mr.
Rockefeller have brought his total
subscription up to 100000, and, Mr..
Morgan had given the same sum be-
fore he died, In fact his final sub
scription was made only day or two
before he sailed for Europe on his last
voyage. / understand, furthermore,
that 1t was the last large gift Mr..
Morgan made to any cause in which
he was interested.
"Of course architectural drawings

pared. could not have gained the gem

presented those documents convinced
them that the cause represented was one

Greer advised other men to follow Mr..
Baylies's methods in furtherinG a work

"In Bishop Greer's opinion Mr..

fact of the matter Is that people felt
that any money placed in the hands OF

The institutes new harbor boat

A great many of the men who make
the Institute their home while in the
port of New York are good billiard
players, and not a few are really ex-
pert with the cue. In order To meet
the desire for this form of recreation
and to provide for other games, such
as chess, checkers &c, three large
| rooms have been set aside and fully
furnished where nearly score of
| thousand guests annually gather, and
| find full scope for their interest in such
matters. who otherwise, for the most
| part would dbe tempted to frequent
IdemoraliZing resorts not far away.
Next to the game rooms. perhaps the
strongest recreative feature is found
| in the reading rooms and library, which
are attractively furnished, and where
may be found a large assortment of
| newspapers and periodicals as well as
bound volumes. Apart of the Institutes
| work, furthermore, is to see that read
| Ing matter is put on board of outward
| bound craft of all kinds when leaving
the harbor, and each year thousands
of bundles of papers magazines and
books are so distributed. Here in the
reading rooms stationery Is furnished

MEAT Is A STlMULANT.
Hence, Eaten In Excess, 1t Is Bad For
Both Body and Mind.

Hence, Eaten In Excess, 1t Is Bad For
Both Body and Mind.
The director of one of the largest
physical culture schools in the United
States said not long ago to friend OF
mine:
Every time / eat piece of good
beefsteak / feel as stimulated as II !
had drunk q cocktail"
This curious statement embod1es
truth of which most people are I'M
aware.
Meat is not merely food. 1t also Is
a stimulant, with definite exhilarating
effects on both mind and body.
Eaten in excess, moreover, 1T acts
much as does an excessive amoum Oh
the alcoholic beverage mentioned by
the physical culture director.
That is to say, it tends, in the first
place, to cause nervous irritability, max,
ing it more difficult for a man to CON
troll his passions and sometimes max
ing him positively savage.
And, in the second place, when eaten
i'm excess 1t makes him mentally inert
and stupid.
The reason for this second effect is
well known to all scientific students OF
food values.
Cooked meat, the form in which meat
usually is eaten, is not easy to digest.
If too much of it is eaten imperfect
digestion results, and the blood stream
is poisoned by the decomposing animal
food in the alimentary canal.
Not total abstinence, but temperance
enough meat to spur the mind, not
enough to deaden it-that is the lesson
to be drawn from the demonstrated
stimulant effect of animal food. = H
