Bo little interest was, however, felt ih constitutional amend ments, that no not was passed providing for the submission of this amendment to Vote of the people — and it therefore foils, at least for the present.

The collapse of the Stewart woman ’ s hotel , project . ’ fnroishes snbjeci for thought and comment. Whatever there may have been ot Utopian charscter in tbo origins,! inception of the so cailed benefaction on the part of Mr. Stewart, it is clear that there has been nothing Hko a practical trial of tho experiment of carrying out the idea of the great mil lionaire. On the contrary, on its face the whole thing has the appearance of being a sham display .of effort in that direction, made with the eoctpt purpose of killing Iho benefoetipn in its very in fancy, and so diverting the mopsy that Mr. Stewart intended to appropriate for tho benefit of ■ the working women of Now York, into the already plethoric ’ coffers of tho insatiable inheritor o| tho larger part of hfa vast estate. 1 la the first place tbo hotel was fitted up in a style quite beyond the ietemion of its founder, and the cost of living m it placed ot orate wholly beyond tho meonB of the class of women whom it was in tended to benefit. Whatever may hove, been tho probability or/tho possibility of a woman ’ s hotel, as such, being a practicable project under any eircum- stances, tho plan upon which this one was opened was such ns to destroy all hopo of success from'tho very beginning. For, in addition to tlio fact that tbo ho tel was expensively and luxuriously fur nished in the first instance, so ’as to ren der high prices a necessity to meet sim ple interest on tho investment, the “ rules and regulations ” were made so restrictive and absurd' that it took ou tiro oharaotor of a nunnery ralhor than o home, from the first day of its opening. Tbo roeult bos..been not only what might hove been anticipated, but what- was apparently intended. An early col lapse of the experiment, and a perfectly sueoessful and profitable hotel scheme at baud already made up, in which Hie original charity becomes absorbed, and a uow source of profit to tho eventual inheritor of tho great Stewart estate is at ogoo created. It cannot bo said that this is a mailer of disposition' of privato property in whioh the public have no interest. On the contrary it ia a matter in which the publie have a vital interest. It is a wan ton perversion of no endowment intend ed to benefit :j largo class of needy peo ple, It was intended to bo, and was, almost the ouly net in the life of a man who bad aocumulnted vast wealth, that took ou tho semblance even of a public charity, and'was about tbo only monu ment of philanthropy that exists te do honor to his name. To cheat tho'public or tho persons whom this charity was intended to benefit is worse than wan ton because-it losts upon the boldest av arice that Hie human mind is ’ capable of being governed by. , Court News.

Suing JUs Sister for @000, Mrs. Martha McEekroo, who has been sued by her brother, Robert Livingston, of Brooklyn iff the Kings Conpty Gomt to recover 8C00 for alleged detective ser vice rendered previous, to liep marriage, is-the wife oF the Rev. George McLck- ron, of Psrkville. ' Mr. McEekron. whom 51 r, Livingston bitterly Opposed, his sis- tor ’ s marrying — she having some 80 O,- 000 in her own right, and be, according to Sir. Livingston ’ s statement, not hav ing even a good .name — is a short, cor pulent man about filty years of age. HO was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in Sullivan County, and afterwards ac cepted the pastorate of a Reformed Church, in Poughkeepsie. Here some years later trouble arose concerning re ports of improper behaviour. These re ports were investigated, by the Ciassia, aud Mr, McEekron wak acquitted, bnt vacated his position. New Hsmbnrg was hie next field of labor, from whence ho was called to minister to the congre gation of tho Westminster Presbyterian Church, iu Twenty-second street. New York. Daring the early part of bis work with this Church he professed a zeal for temperance work, and, was at one time Chaplain to the Grand-Division of Sons of Temperance of tho State Of New York. While pastor of this Church ho met the. woman who has since become his^wife, and whose brother brings this suit for alleged services. » „ Shortly before the time fixed for the marriage of the present Air. and Mrs. McEekron, in 1871,1 Livingston claims .................... ik McEekron, at his to have followed ’ M_. . ------- . sister ’ s request, and not only witnessed frequent visits to drinking saloons, but tracked him to a bouse of ill repute in Twenty-sixth street.' This was about midnight. Procuring a carriage ho brought his - sister, and they together foundMcEekrori. These events post poned the marriage, which finally took place four years afterwards, Living ston informed his sister that i( she ever married he should claim payment for services rendered on that night and oth-' er occasions. He subsequently made complaint to the Presbytery, but doclin- ed to come forward nnd press his charge against Mr, -McEekron. However, enough was discovered to cause, this preacher to be suspended, and under the ban he rested for more than a year. Afterwards he resumed pastoral life at Pnrkville, bnt here again, owing to ill reports, he wns led to resign ; this time he abandoned the ministry to engage in other business. Livingston was former ly a lawyer. He relinquished bis prac tice some years ago, afterwords dealt in real estate to a small extent, and is now engaged in the manufacture ol a liquid called “ silver plater. ” 'Divorced irom bis first wife, Livingston afterward mar ried, but in a few months the second wife left him and caused him to be arrested, preferring charges ui . ill-treatment against him. Sca-SMo Cottage for Working Women. Many of the young working women of this City nre Allowed by their employers, (luring the Summer months; a short pe- 1 riod of vacation, which, however, is com paratively of but little value to them, for they eonnot afford to go into the coun try, or to the sea-shore, as at all tho re sorts near New York the prices charged are tee high for their slender purses; and the expense of traveling to the' cheaper Summering places is also an insurmount able obstacle. How to provide such young women with needed rest and rec reation has long been a problem to the mind of at least one estimable lady of this City, Mrs. Fletcher Harper, and sho has at last solved it by establishing an institution, to be called The Sea-shore Cottage, at Atlantioville, near Long Branch. Young women will there bo able to procure everything needful for comfort and heallhfnl enjoyment, 8 ® an expense no greater than they wonld bo subjected to.In the City; The desire of Mrs. Harper is simply to meet the nin'- ning expenses of the cottage. She has therefore arranged that the charge lor board shall be @5 per week, or @9 for two weeks, traveling expenses to and from the City being included. The work of receiving applications for board at the cottage is in the hands of the officers . of the Ladies ’ Christian Union, at No 27 North Washington square. The cottage will accommodate 50 young womon.- 'in order to benefit as many as possible, no boarder will be allowed to remain long er than two weeks. The cottage promi ses to be a success, snd Mrs. Harper will undoubtedly; be ’ devoutly thanked by many beneficiaries during the Sum mer. — New York Times.
