UNITY OF ITALY
Today Italians Commemorate
Nationality.
ROME, Sept. 19. (Special.)—Cele
brations of the anniversary of the en
try of the Italian troops into Rome
on September 20, 1870, will be held
tomorrow throughout Italy, this date
marking the unity of the Italian mon
archy. All business will be suspend
ed and the day, as usual, observed
as a national holiday. In Rome the
anniversary will be made the occa
sion of a great demonstration of so
cialists and radicals of all kinds, mar
ching through the streets carry
ing red banners. Serious outbreaks
directed against the priests are feared
and troops have been stationed in
all parts of the city, with orders to
mete out summary punishment to
disturbers. The pope has issued a
prohibition against any member, male
or female, of monastic institutions
quitting their confines and appearing
in public. The king has given his
personal assurance to the papal au
thorities, that every possible precau
tion will be taken to protect the lives
of the priests, and it is believed that
any widespread attempt at violence
can be checked by the police and the
troops.
WANTS HER LANDS
RECLAIMED
Texas Will Ask Government to
Help Work
DALLAS, TEXAS, Sept. 19. (Spec
ial.) —A project for putting the pub
lic lands of Texas upon the same
basis as those of other states is now
being broached and will be brought
before the coming Trans-Mississippi
Commercial congress at Muskogee, I.
T. Congressman Stephens is one of
the leaders in the movement and will
urge it to the attention of the con
gress. The object of the desired leg
islation is to arrange for the exten
sion of the reclamation service to this
state.
When Texas was admitted to the
Union she had been a republic for
several years and one of her com
pacts was that the public lands should
be held by the state to be given to
the veterans of the struggle with
Mexico. This distribution, however,
made hardly no impression on the
vast public acreage of the state and
now Texas desires the national gov
ernment to aid in reclaiming the arid
lands and submerged districts.
A COST OE OVER $12,500,000.
New York’s Most Gorgeous Hotel The Plaza, Will Open
Next Monday.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—( Special.)
The new Plaza Hotel, the latest addi
tion to New York's long list of pala
tial hosteleries, is to be formally
opened next Monday morning. The
builders of the Plaza claim that it is
the and finest hotel in the
world. An idea of the enormous sum
of money spent in the erection of the
Plaza may be had from the mere state
ment that its cost was more than
double that of the magnificent Hotel
Astor which was completed only two
years ago.
New York not only contains the
largest and most luxurious hotels of
any city in the world, hut also more
of them, ranging in cost from $1,000,-
000 to $12,500,000, which latter fig
ure represents the cost of the new
Plaza. It is to he further remarked
in the same connection that the most
luxurious hotels are by far the most
prosperous. The present effort is
not to build economically, but expen
sively—to crowd as much luxury as
possible into hotel building for the
rich New Yorker can he counted on
to make the most lavish expenditure
a profitable investment. Counting per
manent and transient guests, the five
score high-class hotels in the city of
New York take care of about 50,000
people a day. The lowest estimate
places the average price paid for
rooms and board at $6.25 a day. At
that rate the receipts are $312,500 a
■day, or $114,062,500 a year.
Cost Exceeds Waldorf-Astoria.
The actual cost of the new Plaza is
said to be slightly in excess of that of
the Waldorf-Astoria, heretofore con
sidered the largest and most luxuri
ous hotel in the world. When the
Waldorf-Astoria was projected, al
most every one said it could not be
made to pay. Yet today it is a very
profitable property. it is hard to
imagine a house with 40 magnificent
public rooms, more than 1,300 guests’
rooms, and accomodations for be
tween 1,400 and 1,500 people, being
practically filled all the time, but
thqse figures represent the Waldorf-
Astoria's accomodations, and it is
constantly crowded.
The new Plaza occupies the site of
the old hotel of the same name at the
corner of Fifty-ninth street and Fifth
avenue, opposite the entrance to the
Central Park and directly across from
the Savoy and Majestic hotels. The
builders figured at the beginning to
spend alKuit $8,500,000 on the struct
ure, but later it was found that in
order to place the hotel in that state
of perfection which the management
COUNTING ON BIG RECEIPTS
Americus Will Get The Cotton Bales All Right Enough
Today.
Americus warehouses should re
ceive at least seven hundred bales
of cotton today, despite the fact that
rain during the week has interfered
with picking to an extent. The ad
vance of a half cent in price during
the past two days, putting the mar
ket for fine cotton at 11 1-2 cents,
will prove an incentive, and farmers
will market the bales held back re
cently. Friday at this season is the

MEXICO WILL
OWN RAILROAD
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 19. (Special.)
—The government of Mexico has
arranged to purchase the majority
of the stock of the new Pan-American
railroad in Mexico. This is in accor
dance with the plan outlined some
time ago for the gradual establish
ment of government ownership, which
is expected to eventually extend to
all public utilities throughout the
Republic unless a reactionary admin
istration should succeed that of Diaz.
claims cannot be reached by any
other hostelry in the world, it would
benecessarv to add $4,000,000 to the
original estimate cost of the struct
ure. And this additional sum was
added without the slightest hesita
tion.
A Suit of Rooms at SSIMI a Day.
Already, the management of the j
Plaza announce, a large percentage 1
of the suits have been leased. The j
hostelry will have as its permanent !
guests some well-known people,
among whom are John W. Gates, Mrs.
James Henry Smith, Alfred G. Van
derbilt, George J. Gould, C. K. J.
Billings, Mrs. Oliver liarriman, Jul
ius Fleischmann, John A. Drake,
Mrs. Wallace Shillito, A. H. Moore,
Richard Brewster, Jackson Gourand,
and Mrs. Young Hayworth.
Some of these will pay $75 to SIOO
a day for their rooms, exclusive of j
meals. For the famous royal suites !
SSOO a day will probably be asked for i
short periods. Though these rates
seem enormous to the majority of |
people the price paid in reality is not j
in excess of what it would cost to j
maintain a Fifth avenue home, while j
the worries are less and the aceomo- j
dations better. It goes without say- ;
ing that the Plaza will be essentially I
a home for the rich. It marks the j
topmost notch in the luxury of metro- i
politan life for men and women with
large incomes who do not care to un- !
dertake the responsibility of keeping |
a city house of their own.
Will Have 1.500 Servants
As may readily be imagined the
payroll at the Plaza will be im
mense. The general staff sixty cooks,
50 chambermaids and an equal num
ber of housemaids, forty floor girls,
sixty beil boys, 200 waiters, seventy
five laundresses; twenty-five porters,
tw'entv bartenders, ten wine cellar
men, fifteen barbers and about 150
women of all work in the kitchen and
elsewhere, who may be said to look
after the immediate personal com
fort of the guests. The chief engineer j
and his assistants, electric light men. 1
elevator men, plumbers, locksmiths ;
and general repair men wil easily :
number 250 more. Then there will he
the office staff and the accountants'
department, making all in all very
nearly if not quite 1,500 men and wo
men to be paid off every week or I
every month, as the case may be,
aside from the private servants en
gaged by the guests and who work
under the general direction of the
hotel.

UNCLE LCN IS
NOT AFRAID
But Will Talk Ovei Situation
With Friends.
ATLANTA, GA„ Sept 19.—(Spec
ial.) —Congressman Livingston will
hold a caucus here to discuss with
political friends his next race for
Congress.
It is 'stated that there will be a full
discussion of the outlook throughout
the district and that as a result of
the conference Livingston will soon
announce his platform.
Livingston professes confidence in
his entire ability to carry the district
as easily as heretofore. The an
nouncement of Payson and others do
not seem to have phased hii* in the
slightest degree. He apparently does
not believe that any one can ride into
Congress over him by reason of any
connection with the recent prohibi
tion fight. Payson’s main reliance
is in the prohibition sentiment to
which he is apealing.

Carnegie is probably right. While
there is undoubtedly vice and wick
edness generally in our large cities
it is doubtful if they are in any great
ter proportion than in cities of the old
world, and to offset them we have
charities and uplifting agencies as

CLAY STILL
KEEPING MUM
Whatever United States Senator Clay
may regard the outlook to be thmL-C
senator lias not allowed it to affect
his genial bearing toward the public
and nothing in his maner today
would indicate that he either expected
or feared .opposition.
“We have driven liquor ou,t of
Georgia and by the grace of God it
shall stay out," said Gov. Hoke Smith
at Cartersville. “We,” hey, and pray
what part did Hoke Smith have in
driving it out. He dictated the Ma
con platform, and it called for a con
tinuance of local option, and then in
his inaugural address as governor
he reiterated his conviction that local
option was the thing. The prohibi
tionists in the legislative rode
rough shod over him. If there is any
evidence that Hoke Smith ever spoke
a word for prohibition, or ever lifted
his hand to help the cause, it has not
been made apparent. “We.” What
arrant rot!
The Standard Oil Company is fight
ing against its minute
books to the courts. It should do as
other corporations seem to be doing
in New York, reduce the minutes
to pulp. '■Jf
Seab Wright is bound to have some
thing. If Hoke Smith runs for sena
tor then Wright will reach out for
Hoke's empty seat. Maybe Wright
will eventually be satisfied to stay
in the State legislature.
It is most dangerous nowadays for
a man to pay any attention to his wife
in public. It always makes people
think he beats her in private.
When a girl turns a young man
dow<j he imagines he can't live with
out her—but does not realize that it
might have been impossible to live
with her.
To get into thd best society nowa
days one has either to feed people,
amuse people or shock people.
