PALATIAL DRINKINO PALACES.
What It Costs to Fit ur> Places In Whieh
Men do their Drinking.
Chicago News.
“This place cost me $15,000,” said
tho proprietor of an elegantly fitted up
saloon to a Daily Nows reporter, as he
swelled his chest and waved his left
hand in a monarch-ot-aU-I-snrvey man
ner over the mahogany bar. Tho place
in question certainly was gorgeous
enough to satisfy the moat exacting of
whisky drinkers; but, in quest of still
finer saloons, tho reporter went into
ono a few steps awsy, and waa fairly
dazzled by the glitter of mirrors, pol
ished brass, and stained gloss screens
with gaslights placed behind to show
off their beauties.
“What did you say it cost?” asked
the astonished inquirer, as he held
on to a brass railing, aud asked the
proprietor to say it again.
“I said it cost $44,000, and if you
don’t believe it I can show you tho
bills,” repeated the person addressed.
This is no contract job, either. I
said to the raan who fixed her up: 'Go
ahead, and send in your bills,’ nnd
there ain’t a ploeo in tho country that
can beat it, and I’vo seen ’em all.”
Tills establishment is fitted up with
imported English oak and mahogany.
A wide fireplace is built in one corner
of Minton tile and polished brass.
Wherever a window can l>o put a fan-
cifnl design in stained glass is pisced,
and a haif-doxen flno oil paintings dec
orate the walls.
Across the street Is another place
that cost $24,000. It is fitted np with
marble. The bar mirror cost $2,000,
and the screen in front of the cntranco,
compossed of massive carved walnut,
with a mirror and clock, cost $1,400.
A short tonr abont tho principal streets
showed that there were a dozen other
places where the thirsty pedestrian
can satisfy his appetite for alcoholic
beverages in saloons costing from $20,-
000 to $30,000 to fit up. It wonld
seem that the modern toper no longer
can take his nip over anything less
costly than a marble or mahogany bar,
« jd the expense incurred by saloon-
eepers to entice custom is the best ar
