A WEALTHY BACHELOR.
A New Yorker Who Does Not Cara
Whether Marriage is a Failure.
“Man About Town” in N, T. Star.
A* the eievtlor shoot* you up to¬
ward the top (lour of (lie hujfe (June

■•reel, IJiomiway and Fifth avenue,
you catch a glimpse, down otic of tbc
vaulted *mi tiled ball; oi a savag*
hulld iy, mounted or. i's hind lag*
and at a chain which con¬
fine* it to a post. There is io«e
tiling uncomfortably lifelike about
this appiration al first glance. It is,
however, a harmless effigy in bronx. )
and is set on guard at the door of tha
apartment occupied by Mr. Hermau
Oelrichs. Mr. Oelrieba bas a weak¬
liest for dogs and iowls of spirit, and
has dane a great deal ta tncouraga
tha breed. He is the most luxurious
of the bachelor* to whoa# shelter the
Cumberland is consecrated, and re.
poses, when he is at home, ir» a suite
of rooms that exteuds along tho en¬
tire Fifth areun# side of the houae,
and that is considered the choicest
in tbebailding. Here, ininiatered to
by ait agile and adapt valet, one of
the eligible bachelors of New York
finds life worth living without, ap¬
parently, any necessity tor a diaaus-
aton of tha now popular and serioaa
problem, “Is marriage a failure?”
Bachelorhood would, certainly, not
seem to be a failure from Mr. Oel-
rich’a experience; and yet those wha
know httn hint that he has about
mad* up his mind to renounce ill
charms, and point, to the fact that be
has put the lease and furnishings in¬
to *» agent’s hands for aale, in con¬
firmation. Whatever his reasoas for
thia step may have been, Mr. Oel¬
richs is Certainly going to abandon
the Cumberland and bus advertised
his luxuiioas section of it to be the
highest bidder’s pri2e.
1 noticed that in a list of “golden
bachelors” recently given by a Sun*
day paper the fortune, of Mr. Oel¬
richs was alaled at $2,000,000. A
couple of hundred thousand ia, I
fancy, Bearer the correct figure.
From his agency he draws, 1 should
imagine, an income of about $25,
000, which ia, after all, wot » very
monstrous sum to breed dogs and
cocks, sat! yachts and play at politics
poo especially when its poe'easor ia
as active and useful a figure in socie
ty as Ur, Oelrieba.
