It is proposed to show to the State and country that the Democracy can he as moderate la victory as patient under de? feat," ^ THE FAITH OF ISRAEL. The Hebrew Conference In Philadel? phia-Important Resolutions Adopted. Avery important conference of Hebrew rab? bis was held last week lu Philadelphia. There were eleven gentlemen present from the principal cities of the country. The meeting was called to order by Rev. Dr. Hirsch, and, on motion of Dr. Ein born, the following officers were unanimously - elected: Rev. Dr. Hirsch, as president; Dr. Alder, .bf New York, vice-president; Dr. McElzlngcr, of New York, and Dr. Felzusbal, of Chicago, as sec * retarles. Dra. Einhorn, Kohler, Hirsch and oth? ers submitted propositions on the principles of public worship, marital laws, circumcision, the institution of the Sabbath, religious Instruction, - kc The conference decided to consider thc prin oiples of public worship first, and as a basis the . propositions submitted by Dr. Einhorn. After a ' lengthy discussion the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: The Rabbinical Conference declares that Juda . lam in its present phase of development confesses the following principies to be embodied la public worship : First. The Messianic aim of Israel ls not the res? toration of the old Jewish state under a son of David, the renewed segregation from the nations, bot the union of all men as children of God In the confession of the one and only God, of the unity of all rational beings and their vocation for moral purity. Second. We do not regard the destruction of the Jewish state as a punishment for thc sins of Israel, but as the corollary of the Divine purpose expressed la the promise to Abraham, and more clearly developed in thc course of history-to send the members of the Jewish race to all parts of the earth In order to accomplish their high priestly ' raison; to lead thehations to thc true knowledge andworsblp of God. Third. The Aaronic priesthood and thc Mosaic sacrificial worship were only preparatory steps to Israel's national priesthood, actually beginning with the dispersion of the Jewish people, and to the sacrifice of the heart's devotion and moral y. sanctification as alone pleasing to God. These In? stitutions, therefore, designed to prepare a higher state of religious sentiment, are altogether num? bered with the destruction of the second temple, among the things of the past, and in this sense only-Le. in their educational capacjty-may be mentioned m our prayers. Fourth. Every distinction between Aaronlty and non-Aaronlty, with reference to religions glvUeges and duties, K therefore, inadmissible public worship as welt a3 In practical life. Fifth. The selection of Israel as a religious peo? ple, as bearer of the highest Idea of humanity, must now, as ever, be emphatically expressed, and on that very accourt, shall tho world-em? bracing missio i of Israel and thc equal love of God towards ai." his children, be just os distinctly enunciated. Sixth. The beilef tn a bodUjr resurrection has no religious foundation, and only the continued spiritual existence is to bc expressed. Seventh. However urgently and nnremittinglv desirable as the fulfilment of a sacred duty the cultivation of thc Hebrew Language, in which the Divine treasures of revelation are stored, and the immortal monuments of a literature governing all civilized nations are preserved, is la our midst, yet since that language bas become actually un? intelligible to the larger majority of our co-rell glonlsts, it must yield, on this very account. In our prayer, which if not understood is a soulless bod/ to the vernacular as far as the existing cir? cumstances render lt advisable. v. -A Rev. Dr. Thompson, of New York, "while "j-tpt desiring to reveal private conversation," nevertheless "would say that Father Hyaainthe bajrbrought letters to him from two French Pro? testant clergymen, speaking of him as in close communion with them, and.ta'-''!g the noble po? sition of Luther." FROM THE STATE CAFITAL. Thc Howard (Colored) School-Te ach? ers-Pupils-Recitations-Broad River Bridge-The Fair-Thc Penitentiary Items. (FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, November 6. The Howard school for colored children In this city has just finished the drst month of its present session, and may be considered fully under way for Its annual round. This, it will be remembered, is a school established by thc partly defunct Freedmen's Bureau, and now supported by charities from the North-New York aud Bos? ton principally. There arc eight teachers, all white, female, and Northern. There are four hundred and thirty pupils, all colored, of both sexes, and of ages varying apparently between eight and twenty-one. There are more girls than boys, and more of mixed colors than wholly black. These are arranged Into eight schools or classes, which are taught by the eight teachers, one to each. The discipline throughout the establishment, which is under the superin? tendency of Miss Augusta Haley, is rigid and carefully enforced. This is an admirable feature of the school. Nothing could bc better. From a personal look over the establishment, and near? ing their mode of instruction and of examination in the several classes, I am enabled to express the most favorable opinion of thc work of teaching done here. It doubtless requires more than ordi? nary patience to teach colored children; and this these teachers seem to have. I saw and heard classes reciting in geography, arithmetic, reading, spelling and writing from dictation, and the recitations were as good as one could ex- ' peet-reflecting the highest credit upon thc teach? ers, without any exception, and illustrating the peculiar minds of the pupils. To compare these recitations to those of white children of the same ages would be unfair to the colored race. Thc at? tainments of these children are gratifying to all true friends of the race; and at the same time serve to establish the fact that the difference be? tween the white and black races is as clearly marked lu their minds, respectively, as lu their physical organisms. This fact demonstrates the necessity of different modes of training and de? veloping these differently constituted races. Gov? ernor Scott has taken this ground ia his messages; and Mr. Jiffson, the State Superintendent of Edu? cation, is known to hold the'same* views. So ap? pear to do all thinking men. The Broad River Bridge, in thc hands of Cap? tain Lee, the architect, is approaching comple? tion. Seven ( ' the nine spans of framework are already up, and we are told to expect the work to be finished by the 1st of December. Everything seems to be ready for thc Agricul? tural Fair next Wednesday. An immense crowd of visitors is expected. Rain ls needed to settle thc dust. There are said to be 29S convicts In Stolbrand's penitentiary, mostly negroes. No escapes have transpired for several weeks. Such a, dearth of fugitives is Itself an item. "Once more to the breach, dear friends, once more." Let us have an escape; an offer of reward, and then-silence. The State enjoys such things-In a way. _ _CORSAIR. THE ABBEVILLE FAIR. A Magnificent Display of Stock. . [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] ABBEVILLE, November 4. I wl9h I had the "pen of a ready writer," that I might give you a readable account of thc existing Fair at this place. My notes of yesterday must speak or things particularly. At ten o'clock the bugle sounded, thc doors opeued, and in a little while hundreds were crowding the hall and grounds. At eleven o'clock, music In the stock yard enticed the crowd thitherward, and directly was announced a grand display of the horses; and such a display I have seldom seen. Pairs, for which $1000 had been refused; were not uncommon. Single draft and sa I die horses too valuable for market; fleet racers aud trotters, the*prlde of their owners, and thc lilliputian pony, were all led In a grand round through thc lots, and a handsomer display need not have been desired In the blue grass re? gions of Kentucky. Music enlivened the scene, and presently thc announcement was made that the contest for pre? miums would occur In the hollow square In front of the Courthouse. A few moments elapsed and out came a span of magnificent blacks, raised in the district. Thcso splendid animals were, or would have been, au ornament to any "Hing." Then cams the spans contending against thc world for the cup. Tiiese were followed by the bingle buggy horses, and thei thc saddle horses and ponies. In all of these "rings" the contest was close, and often thc committee were "bother? ed" about their decision. That satisfaction was universally give? cannot be expected, but that Impartiality was shown, I think all hands agreed. Durlng'thls exhibition, which consumed near six hours, the immense throng were most orderly, and nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of every one except the running away o', one of thc single buggy horses, by which accident a Mr. Griffin was thrown from his buggy and seriously injured. Every piazza, and window and door, opening on the square, was crowded by the fair, (not agricul? tural,) but the lovely, beautiful women of Ab? beville. The housetops, too, were in requisition, and as for thc square, it was but a moving mass. J Abbeville ls justly proud of herself, and she throws down thc glove to the rest or the State, and bids them meet her lu Columbia next week. If one-half the stock and articles on exhibition here are sent to Columbia, and each of thc other districts of the State sends half as much as Abbe? ville, the State Fair will bc a mammoth concern. So mote lt be. To-night I have attende 1 a meeting of the Ab? beville Society, and listened with interest to their friendly discussion of the various topics intro? duced. They unanimously re-elected their officers, and set on foot a sc'.erne to make this society a thing of thc times. C. H. MARIOS' MATTERS. [FROM OPB OWN CORRESPONDENT.) MARION, C. H., November 5. Since thc crowd, attracted by the lanrt! land sales of Monday last, left, our village has become terribly dull and quiet. The sales referred to as? tonished the despondent, and evince a new return of our Southern fondness for real estate. A village lot of one hundred and twenty acre?, with dwelling houses, Ac, was sold privately for $3C00. It has been resold already for $4000. The public sales we saw copied from the local papers, and will not reiterate. There are rumors that the "Brown Hotel," and adjacent tract of four acres, ls held for sale at a large advance on its eriginal cost of $4165. Business generally seems dull. Thc shipments of cotton, hitherto averaging about two hundred bales per week, are decreasing. To this time it is estimated that the shipments from tills place will reach one thousand five hundred bales. Ac? counts from the Interior of the county show -x very general disposition to hold for an advance tn price. From the larger area of colton lands cultivated this year the yield will amouut to about thc same as the crop of 150S, 'mt the crop will not average as much per ncr?.. Thc late heavy frosts will prevent many brlis nearly ma? tured from opening. PEEDEE. -A private letter from a prominent govern? ment official in New York cmains a prediction that before the holidays uer sh will occur in Wall street which will equal lu its disastrous conse? quences ti;e eU'ects of tue recent Fisk-t.'onld gold conspiracy. The writer fir her says values gene? rally have a downward tee icucy, and thinks thar specie payment may be retched without difficulty before the first of July nex?. DOINGS IN DARLINGTON. How a Guilty Man was Aoqnittcd- Tlic Pranks of Governor Scott-Sales of Land-Condition of tUc County. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] DARLINOTON, November 4. On last Friday evening the Court of General Sessions and Common Picas for this county, Judge Rutland presiding, adjourned, after a ses? sion of three weeks, thc ordinary session of two weeks having been lengthened by the prefix of an extra session of one week. The entire session, with the exception of two days and a half, was occupied by the sessions court, and yet the jail was barely cleared, leaving untried thc many in? dictments against parties out on bail. Perhaps thc most startling incident of thc ses? sions court was the rendering of a verdict of "not guilty," by a full negro jury, under au in? dictment Tor grand larceny, la the fu?;e of full, positive and undisputed evidence of guilt. Re fore the trial was had, thc counsel for thc de? fence, in open court, offered, on thc part of the accused, to plead guilty, provided thc Judge would assure a punishment uot greater than that prescribed for petit larceny. One ol" this enlight? ened jury, on being asked to explain so astonish? ing a verdict, replied Hint "they could not see any particular evideuce against thc accused." Hy the audience, generally, the result was ascribed to thc influence of a mest disreputable appeal to thc prejudices of race and color, oa the part of thc counsel for the defence. During the progress of thc Court of sessions thc fact was developed that thc Governor of the State had, by letter, ordered one of thc jirgro magis? trate.-: of the county to release, orrb?il, certain parties who had been arrested on a charge of mnrder-that the magistrate had obeyed the Ille? gal order, and supposing that the Governor knew the law, had siuce released other parties charged with the same offence. Of course, Governor Scott is on one of the horns of thc following di? lemma-either he is ignorant of Hie laws of the State over which he presides, or regardless of those laws, takes advantage of the ignorance of one of his negro appointees to violate tlietn. In the little time allowed the Court of Common Pleas, much more was done than was expected. The bar, generally, agreed to withdraw mere sham defences, and consequently the Judge went, with a great crash, through the sum. pro. and inquiry dockets, leaving but little behind. Thc issue docket and the equity docket, however, ure still like great mountains ahead. When will our dockets be reduced to a manageable size 1-is thc anxious question constantly troubling the minds of the lawyers and clients of this county. In the opinion of your correspondent, the Stay law, Order No. 10, and thc various circumstances t h af have, un to this time, contributed to block our courts and render uncertain the condition of property, have done more damage to the mate? rial prosperity of this county than did t?ie rear. As au illustration and proof, there is the County of Marlboro', where, for the past two years, by some fortunate accident, thc dockets have been manageable and thc course of justice unimpeded. It ls, without dispute, the most prosperous couuty of this section or thc State, and lands, which, in this county, are regarded as high ut six and seven dollars per acre, sell there for twenty and thirty dollars per acre. Our progress must con? tinue to be slow, so long as we are tied to Hie dead body of ante-bellum debts. Monday last was sales-day, and an unusually large and motley crowd Ulled our public square. Some '.?ooo acrc3 of land were sold, and a consid? erable amount of personal property. Thc prices obtained excited a general and pleased surprise, ami testified to a very considerable Increase In Hie value of the property of thc county. One tract of land sold as high as ($8 50-100) eight and a half dollars per acre. Thc continued depression In the price of cotton affects very injuriously the plans of every class of our citizens. The "pros? pect of an early advance in thc price, and the propriety of holding back the crop, until an ad? vance does take lilac-?, were the malu subjects of thc sales-day talk. Yesterday (Wednesday) there was sold at Tim monsvllle, In this county, a large amount of real estate belonging to the estate of John M. Tim ruons, bankrupt. Over one hundred lots lu thc Town of Timmonsvllle were sohl and brought as? tonishingly high prices. It ?is believed that this sale will, lu a short time, double thc size of thc thriving Town of Timmonsvllle. *A few days be? fore the sale the Rev. John M. Timmons died at his place of residence, at Timmons\ ille. He'was a Baptist minister, much respected, and of great usefulness. He belonged to a noble band of old lirty years. lu proof or this, lt ls enough to say that he was the founder of the prosperous little Town of Timmonsvllle. R. THE REAL ESTATE MARKET. Thc following sales of real estate are report? ed by the country press: ANDERSON COUNTY.

Tile telegraph brought the information that Brigham Young and his associates had formally excommunicate!] thc editors and publishers of the Utah Magazine, on account of the anti-polygamy heresies of that publication. Now we have the "oillclal documents" In tho case by mall, accom? panied by the comments of the ofllcial Mormon paper, the Descret News. That paper, abandoning its usual reticence lu regard to heart-burnings among the Mormons, devotes a large portion of its space to dealing with the "apostates," reciting all the diff?rent instances of revolt to the Mormon rule, or rather the rule of "the man who holds thc keys" as thc prophet for the time being, whether Joe Smith or Brigham Young, is termed. The les? son inculcated is that "all who have opposed or spoken against the priesthood, or the authority which God has placed In His church to govern it." have In the ead apostatized completely and come to grief. Subjoined is thc formal proclama? tion bf Brigham Young excommunicating thc Magazine people, lt ls evident that thc revolt against polygamy has assumed proportions that excite some alarm it) "ac High Council : Tu the Latter-Day saints: Our atlenllon has been called of late to several articles which have appeared in thc Utah .Maga? zine, a weekly periodical, published in this e ily. An examination ol'them has convinced us that they are erroneous, opposed to thc spirit of the gospel, ami calculated todo Injury. According to the practice in the church, teachers were sent to labor with the editor ami publisher, to uni nt out to them the evil result which would follow a per? sistence in the courre they were pursuing. This did not have the desired effect, and they have since been tried before the High Council, mid after a thorough and patient investigation of the case, lt was found they had Imbibed the spirit of apos tacy to that degree that they could not any louder be fellowshipped, and they were cut.oil from the church. The Utah Magazine ls a periodical that, iu ita spirit and teachings, is direstlv opposed to thc T2&"?{S9^JfleT&# fe':lcVraVi^;^l..?l?^l?; Ottf, would destroy /.ion, divide thu people nsunder, and drive the" Holy Priesthood from the earth.

The News says: "On Wednesday morning our County Agricultural Society held its Urm annual meeting before a large und brilliant audience. Captain F. M.

A Nice Little Scheme of Bribery and Corruption-The Doings of His Ex? cellency lt. Iv. S. Rivalled by thc Radical Governor of Florida. Thc Savannah Republican publishes con? vincing evidence of the corruption of Harrison Reed, Governor of Florida. Thc reader will re? member that lt was stated a shori. time since that Reed had been arrested and placed under bond in New York City. Tile precise character of the charge against bim was not made known, but it probably had some connection with lils dealings with George \V. Swepson, who ls mentioned in the ailldavit copied below. Thc Republican says that this affidavit is substantiated by others that it has neither room for nor patience to publish : In the case of the County Commissioners of Jeffer? son County vs. George W. Swepson, Harrisoo Heed, Governor, and others. In chancery. State of Florida, Duval County, ss: On this st li day of October A. D. 1889, before me, Charlea L. Mather, Clerk of the Circuit Court In and for said county, appeared Sherman Conant, a citizen or the State of Florida, who being duly sworn, says: That on or about thc 15th day of June, A. D. I860, during the session of the Legisla? ture, at its special tenn In June, depoueut read a letter written by George W. Swepson, and ad? dressed to Harrison Reed, Governor of Florida; that deponent knows the handwriting of said Swepson, and his signature was of the said Swep? son; that said letter stated that It would be deliver? ed to said Reed, Governor, by Milton S. Littlcfleld, or by Mr. Littlelleld, and further stated that Swep? son had paid thc said Recd, Governor, Ave thou? sand dollars in New York Citv, some time before, for which ire, the said Swepson, had takeu a mortgage on the said Reed's property In Tallahassee; that said Littlelleld would return to him the mortgage and would pay sahl Reed seven thousand dollars on his approval of the bill or act which thc said Littlelleld would have introduced Into and passed by the Legislature; that according to this deponent's best remembrance and belief. Mic contents of said letter were as follows: "You remember, Governor, on agreement in New York, I was to give you fourteen thousand dollars for calling the Legislature together and using your Influence to secure the passage of the bill. Five thousand I paid you in New York, for which I hold mortgage on your property In Tallahassee. Two thousand Mr. Littletlcld will hand you when he reaches Tallahassee. Wlien you sign the bill . he will give you seven thousand dollare and re? turn to you your mortgage." That there Ls a mortgage on record In Leon County of the property In Tallahassee, mortgaged by the said Reed to said Swepson, and that short? ly before thc recent departure of said Reed to the North, according to the best knowledge and be? lief of deponent, thc said Reed Inquired of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of said county If the said Swepson had not sent a release of said mort? gage for record, stating that it Mad been paid, and that he, the said Swepson, had promised to send thc Clerk a release of the same for record; that a true and correct copy of said letter from said Swepson to said Reed was ut the time hereinbe? fore mentioned made, and the same was sworn te before a duly appointed and lawfully authorized notary, and that the same is now in existence. SH ERM AS CONANT. Sworn to and subscribed before mc this, the 8th day of October, A. D. lSii?. CHAS. D. MATHER, Clerk. A Florida correspondent of thc Republican writes: lt should bc known" that Major Conant was nn olllcer of that rank in rhc United States army, has been lu Florida ever since the close of the war, is now Deputy United States Marshal, and though an undisguised Republican tn lils politics, and though In oiilce, either military or civil, nearly all tho while since he came to thc State, tins ever conducted himself with courtesy towards our people. True lt is. he is an uncompromising ene? my of Heed, yet nobody that I have met ventures to question the literal accuracy of the statement contained in his affidavit; or doubts but that Recd was bribed to convene last summer's extra ses? sion of the Legislature, ami was paid for his sig? nature of Swepson, Littlelleld, Sanderson A Co's, railroad bill. Of course all honest Republicans' are outraged at the infamy which his Excel? lency has brought upon their party; and are, I be? lieve, prepared to unite with the great body of the substantial people of the State to give him his1 deserts, which, us you truly say, would bc the uiautcniiary..._.__ own it,) Reed's patronage and Swepson's money have not been without their baneful Influence upon some of our own people. Large sums have been paid by both to lawyers, Swepson paying out or his pocket, or out of the earnings of our railroads, of which he has obtained Illegal and (as charged) fraudulent possession, and Reed pay? ing out cf the Stale Treasury. These legal gen? tlemen have, of course, done nothing wrong. When offen?! heavy retainers by Swepson, Reed .t Co. :ts.tlieir counsel, it is not to be expected that, (hey would refuse them; but the misfortune is that thc very men to whom our people are accustomed lo look for leadership and guidance, willi money In their pockets re? ceived from tho orruptionlsts, cannot be ex? pected to rally the people, and arouse public indignation against their own clients, swepson, as one of his Jacksonville lawyers aas proclaimed, counts his wealth, not by thousands, but by mil? lions. What, then, ls to become of Hie virtue of poor Florida when tempted by the money which he ls able to oller to her officials? Hut not alone government officials and lawyers and newspa? pers; some of our leading capitalists and business men are In thc ring-directors or managers, or stockholders in the railroad schemes of Swepson, Littlelleld A Co. I need not say how unequal Hie contest between the poor simple-minded, honest people of the State on the one side, against the combined power of Heed's patronage and Swen? son's money on the other. To use Macaulay's language, it would be like a light between ?.heep and wolves, or bet ween men und llends. ST KW A Iil"S MONUMENTS. A Sketch critic Magnificent Enterprises or the Kew York Dry Goods Prince. A New York letter says : -Among thc future buildings of New York, there Is none which, for both utility and greatness of conception, will exceed Hie two uiaiiiniotli hotels which are to bo erected by A. T. Stewart, one for young workingwomen, aud thc oilier for young nien, and for which he some time ago appropria? ted thc SUKI of 80^000,000. That for young women is to be siluated on Fourth avenue, between Thirty-second and Thirty-tliird^trccts. and hero the excavations are being made and the founda? tions laid. Tiie building will be six stories in height, surmounted by a large Mansard roof, upon thc ?silt ti III it of which twelve towers, twenty four feel in height and width, will nc unlit, and upon the street angles ol' the building similar tur? rets will be also placed, making I hus ten in num? ber, which will (arm graceful crowns to the heavy structure below. The mam entrance will be forty-eight feet in width, thc portico of which will be two stories in height, consisting of massive columns with fo? liated capitals und bases, on octagon ped estais. The firststory will bc appropriated to stores, the rents from which will materially nhl toward de? fraying the expenses or thc establishment, in tho interior of tiie building will ba a courtyard ninety-four feet by one hundred and sixteen, und thc hollow square thus formed by thc surround? ing walls will be beautified by a fountain, gold fish, und In other wats, in thc rear will bethe dining-room, thirty feet by ninety-two in dimen? sion, and in addition, and near the same size, will be a hall for lectures, concerts ami other recrea? tions. Thc sleeping rooms will beof two kinds, the -ingle, eight feet by nine, and those intended for two persons, sixteen by eighteen feet. lt has been shown by experience that a marked prefer? ence hus been'ul ways evinced for single rooms by occupants, save hi the cuse of two friends or sisters, for which the double rooms ure provided. The entire arrangement is made wlih a view to furnish each working girl, w ho may become un occupant, the comforts and conveniences or u hotel ul a small cost. All is, indeed, contrived willi a view to comfort und convenience. The kiicheii and laundry will ba on thc most improved modern plans, and, as in other hotels, there will be elevators for ascending, without fatigue, to the upper stories. Good food wilt be provided at cost, and on other restaurant principle, In order that each vining woman muy regulate her expenses according to what she may order. Like t?ie other buildings erected by Mr. Stewart, this will be 'pure white, for which lie evinces a decided par? tiality. Nor in these enlarged conceptions for thc be? ucht of those employed by him is Mr. Stewart for? getful or unmindful of the claims ol'sell', for while erecting hotels for working men and women, lie builds a palace for himself. Sud is, indeed, Iiis private dwelling on Fifth Avenue, of which every one has heard, which every one in New York hus seen, and which now approaches Its completion. This building is of marble, of an enduring kind, which to Hie eve presents Hie appearance of granite, while Hie finishing inside is throughout of beautiful Italian marble, the work upon which was executed in Italy. The style of architecture Is pure Corinthian, and though only three stories in height, thu structure towers above thc sur? rounding houses, inasmuch ss each story is twenty feet in height. Roth within and without Hiere is but lit ile showy ornamentation, the style being chaste .ind severe, grand without bci'iiT heavy, and elaborate without being fanciful. The wails will be finished in a subdued color, so as to harmonize with thc blue-veined marble, and the doors will ltc of rosewood. The whole building, willi but little alteration, could bc transformed Into a magnificent art gallery, which, indeed, in course of time, may not improbably take place: thc wardrobe and bathrooms alone suggesting the idea of a private residence; and one ol' the most remarkable features is thc vista presented by one room looking to another. Most worthy Of note, also, is the principal staircase, the cost of which is almost fabulous: and beyond this, and leading from a spacious hall, is the picture gallery, which is to be adorned with the finest specimens of statuary and painting, a collection of which Mr. Stewart has been for some years making. By the end of the winter lt is supposed that the residence will be ready for occupation by Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, who, from an elegant mansion across Fifth Avenue, survey the daUy progress of the work. itltirrieo.
