Copyright, 1900, by W. W. Young.
New Y'ork, July IS.-The United States
has not only the largest and most luxu
rious hotel in the world, but there are
more magnificent hotels, ranging in cost
from 11.000,000 to $12.(*0,000, here than In
any other country.
Nowhere else is so much money paid
for hotel accommodations as in New
York city, either by individual guests or
by the hotel population collectively. More
over. the most luxurious hotels are by
far the most prosperous. The present ef
fort is not to build economically, but ex
pensively; to crowd as much luxury as
possible into hotel building; for the rich
American can be depended on to make the
most lavish expenditure a profitable in
vestment.
Counting permanent find transient
guests, tho five score high class hotels in
the city of New York take <*are of about
60.0UU people every day. The lowest esti
mate made by three representative hotel
men places the average price paid for
room.s and board at $*.25 a day. At that
rate the receipts ore $312,500 a day, or $114,-
1*2.500 a year.
What part of this great sum 1? paid for

luxury, pure and simple? It is hard to
tell, but perhaps ihe best way of esti
mating it is by comparison with the fa
mous Mills hotels in New York. Those
two houses, oik* costing a million arwl the
other about half a million dollars, are not
charitable institutions; they are profital4e
investments. The price of a sleeping room
with bath and sitting room privileges in
either of these houses is twenty cents a
day, and meals are fifteen cents each,
making the total cost of living sixty-five
cents a day. The Mills hotels are scrupu
lously neat. The meals are served in
courses, and more than he can eat is given
to each guest.
Thus it would seem that everything
above sixty-five cents a day \* paid for
luxury and a*kied comfort. New York's
first class hotel population of 50,000 cotrtd
live In houses like the Mills hotels for $32,-
500 a day. or $11,862,500 a year. Figuring on
that ba?is $25v0.000 a day. or $102,200,000 a
year, is paid for luxury.
Still I. liter Luxury l Demanded.
Notwith-anding this, the demand is for
greater luxury, not only in New York, but

proportionately throughout the entire j
country. That shrewd hotel men recognise !
this is plainly evident. For, although the '
number of hotels costing about $1,000,000 j
upward and in which the cost of living j
is $4 a day or more has doubled within
the past ten years, more buildings of this
type are now being planned and construct
ed than at any previous time. "The eg- ;
tlmated cost of four of the projected ho- |
tels ia $14,000,')00. One Is the New Bruns- i
wick, to be built in New York at a cost
of $6,000,000 on the site of the famous old
hotel of that name and adjoining property.
Another is the W. E. D. Stokes $4,000,000
hotel In New York, occupying the west
Side of Broadway, between Seventy-third
and Seventy-fourth streets. Another is
the $3,000,000 hotel which George C. Boldt
is to erect on the site of the Stratford
in Philadelphia. The fourth is the $2,000,-
000 house which a syndicate, headed by I
Joseph E Willard of Virginia, is to build
to take the place of the famous Willard
hotel In Washington. Among other note
worthy projected hotel Improvements Is
the $2,000,00) addition to the Manhattan ho
tel, New York, now more than half com
pleted, making It a $4,000,000 house. No
less than $30,000,000 is now being expended
throughout the country’ on the erection of
new hotels in which the element of lux
ury will predominate.
The actual cost of the Waldorf-Astoria,
the largest and most luxurious hotel in
the world, has never been made public,
but it is estimated by good Judges at about
$12,000,000. When It was projected almost
every one said it could not be made to
pay Yet to-day it is a very profitable
property. It Is hard to imagine a house
with forty magnificent publlo rooms, more
than 1,300 guests' rooms and accommoda
tions for between 1.400 and 1,500 people,
being practically filled all the time, but
these figures represent the Waldorf-As
toria’s accommodations, and it la con
stantly crowded.
The payment of from $75 to SIOO a day
for rooms, exclusive of meals, in New
York hotels is by no means uncommon.
There are people living in the Waldorf-
Astoria who |>ay SIOO a day for their rooms
the year round. For the famous royal
suite SSOO a day has been paid on several
occasions for short periods. A woman
who died at the Savoy hotel In New York
recently had paid $75 a day for a year for
a corner suite overlooking Central Park.
That price did not Include meals, and, aa
I she was a liberal entertainer, the aggre
i gate of her ho:el bills roust hJbve been very
I large.
Mr. Wbltßoy'N Bxyenalve 4|anrters.
LaM fall William C. Whitney went to
the Waldorf-Astoria to live, engaging
rooms by the year. Recently he decided
to establish his private ofiiee there also.
Nearly the entire royal suite has to be
given up to provide the comfort and lux
! ury which this man of many millions de
! mans and is willing to pay for. Talcing
| the rooms by the year he does not, of
i course, pay a rate proportionate to the
! transient rate of SSOO a day for that part
I of the suite which he occupies, but it is
Mated advisedly that he expends in the
neighborhood of slso a day for his rooms.
I In this suite Mr. Whitney ia completely
isolated from the rest of the hotel, the
suite having a private hall. He has his
meals served In the private dining room.
His guests are received in a private draw
ing room furnished as richly as any room
iin a king's palace. No other hotel guest
in the world lives amid such splendor as
does Mr. Whitney. He is a lavish enter
tainer, frequently having fifieen or twenty
friends to luncheon and dinner. It would
not be surprising if his bills at the hotel
averaged S2OO a while he is there. If
maintained throughout the year this would
amount to s73,Otf).
Mr. John C. Eno, another multi-million
aire, lives almost as luxuriously tit the
Waldorf-Astoria as Mr. Whitney, having
occupied for almost two years the pri
vate hall corner suite on the fourth floor,
fronting on Fifth avenue and Thirty
fourth street. This suite has a drawing
room, dining room and pantry, bedrooms
and bathrooms for the family and ser
vants; in fact, all the Advantages of a
private apartment combined with those
of the hotel. Probably Mr. Whitney and
Mr. Eno pay the largest individual hotel
bills In the United States, If not in the
world.
There are two other hotels in New York
—the Albermarlc and the Holland House
—which, though smaller, charge the same
rates as the Waldorf-Astoria. The price
for a parlor, two bedrooms and bath run
an high as $35 and S4O a day ordinarily,
and ofien special suites being even more,
S4OO a week not being unheard of at the
Holland. The Savoy has suites which
compare favorably with the best in price
and magnificence. Fifty dollars a day is
the regular charge, for the bridal suite,
but other rooms are often added, making
the cost as high as SIOO a day, sometimes
more, exclusive of meals. The ballroom
at the Savoy, which is one of the rich
est In the country, rents for as much as
$250 a night.
Scores of American millionaires, who
could well afford palaces of their own.
have no homes other than hotels. Many,
like Mr. Whitney, who own magnificent
residences, have deserted them to live in
hotels, ofien to avoid the annoying ser
vant problem. Senator Thomas C. Platt
and his family have lived in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel for years. Tom L. Johnson
keeps luxurious rooms ffi the Waldorf-
Astoria the year round, and Stephen R.
Elkins lives there moat of the time. Mar
cus Daly and James J. Hill, with their
families, live a good part of each year in
The Netherlands. There are a half-dozen
or more millionaire residents In the
Buckingham, while the Plaza, Savoy, Bre
voort, Albemarle, Majestic and several
other New York hotels have their quota.
Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, San
Francisco and other large cities have
their millionaire hotel residents. In Chi
cago there are many.
Some Interesting Figures,
A million dollars Is Invested In the fur
niture of the Waldorf-Astoria, and 1,400
persons, all-told, are employed at the hlght
of the season, or an employe for every
guest, which Is the average In most of
the larger hotels. One hundred and thir
ty men are emp.oyed In the kitchen, and
the eating department as n whole em
ploys 730 persons. On an average over
6,000 meals a day are served, and it is
not an uncommon thing for a man with
four or five guests to get a $75 dinner In
any of the dozen or more public dining
rooms.
In the sub-basement are the wine cel
lars, and the great cigar humidors. At
the present time $250,000 worth of wine
and $300,000 worth of cigars are stored
Iherc, and It is expected that the perma
nent stock wil' reach $1,000,000 in value.
The Waldorf-Astoria’s ballroom is one of
the ’’sights’’ of the city. It is the most
luxurious single hotel feature In the eoun
try. The rental price, varying with tlte
nature of the entertainments, is as high
a* S6OO a night.
The daily receipts and expenditures of
this hotel are almost beyond belief. No
attempt will be made to estimate them,
but here are two or three items of inter
est; Each of the 1 400 employes recelvs
three meals a day free (many bqjng al
lowed wine) or 4.200 free meals ‘ dally.
Then there arc the salaries, which in the
cooking department alone ranges fiom
SIO,OOO a year for the chef down to $75 and
SIOO a month for the less expert cooks.
During the winter 140 tons of the beat
hard coal are consumed every day.
An interesting feature of luxurious
modern hotel life Is the Transportation
Club, which occupies the entire thirteenth
floor of the Manhattan Hotel. Among its
800 members ure many of the wealthiest
men of the country. Senator Chaunoey
M. Depetv Is the president. In the new
portion of the Manhattan twenty-two

for women guests, there being a ladies*

are housed in New York hotels.
Luxurious Southern and Western
Hotels.
The fame of the great Florida hotels,
noticeably the Ponce Ue Leon and Cordo
va, in St. Augustine, and the Royal Poln
eiana. at Palm Beach. Is world wide. In
the entire South, however, there is t:o
more magnificent caravansary than the
New HA Charles, in New Orleans. What
the Waldorf-Astoria is to the world, the
St. Charie* is to the South. Owing to the
peculiar climatic advantages of New Or
leans the builders were able to provide
luxuries which are impossible farther
North.
The St. Charles building, with site, cost
$1.000,000, and its furniture cost more than
$21)0,000. Its highest regular rate is $25 a
day for a corner suite accommodating two
persons, consisting of a private parlor,
bedroom and bath. Provision is made,
however, for furnishing larger suites a?
proportionately higher rates. A great
open air promenade filled with tropical
plants and shrubbery, occupying the space
between the wings of the building on the
second floor, with entrances from the halls
and dining room, affords a delightful
lounging place in sunshine or shade. This
is the show place of New Orleans.
Traveling westward to California the
luxury loving American comes eventually
to the Hotel del Coronado, at Coro
nado Beach. It claims the distinction of
being the largest re:ort hotel in the world
It < overs four and a half acres. A novel
feature is a court in the center of the
building the size of an ordinary city
square, in w'hioh is revealed tho floral
richness of a tropical garden, from giant
palms down to the rarest plants. The
ball room contains 11,000 square feet. The
dining room is thirty-three feet high, with
out pillar or post to mar its beauty. There
are 750 rooms, and fifty-six of them are
sitting rooms. The huge tanks for hot
and cold sea water bathing inside the ho
tel are a great feature.
Going north along the Pacific coast the
rich American finds the next monument to
his liberal patronage in the $1,000,000 Ho
tel Portland, in Portland, Ore. Coming
back over the continent he will find sur
prising luxury in the Hotel Pfister. Mil
waukee. which cost $1,300,000. This house,
and the Planters’ Hotel, St. Louis, and
the Auditorium, Chicago, stand for all that
is luxurious in the Middle West. A fea
ture of the Pfister is the dining facilities.
The whole of the seventh floor, with the
exception of a ladies’ waiting and billiard
room, is taken up by the main, dining
room, a banquet hail and three private
dining rooms. Gorgeous dining rooms seem
to be growing features in the Middle West.
In the new Grand Pacific, Chicago, the
second floor is entirely devoted to a series
of small dining room®, each characteris
tically decorated to represent some Euro
pean country or period in history.
In Philadelphia the seeker after lux
ury may find all he wants in the Wal
ton. which is peculiarly adapted to the
entertainment of those who can afford
to live regardless of expense from the
fact that entire floors can be made into
suites completely isolated from the rest
of the hotel. Thte has been done on sev
eral occasions, and noteworthily during
the stay of Li Hung Chang in the City
of Brotherly Love. The rental price of
suites like those which have been occu
pied by President McKinley and Presi
dent Dias of Mexico i6 S2OO a day.
In Washington, the capital city, there
is most luxury perhaps in the Arlington,
ihe hotel which proudly boasts of having
entertained every guest of honor to the
United States and every potentate from
foreign lands for thirty years. This ho
tel his the most perfect arrangement of
banquet hull, connecting parlors, receiv
ing and coat rooms in the country. Three
hundred people can be properly dined at
one table. In this great hall have been
given some of the country’s most costly
and famous dinners, including that of
Secretary Gresham to the diplomatic
’orps. and Secretary of State Blaine’s
dinner and reception to the I’an-Ameri
can Congress.
The Hotel Touralne of Boston If the
most notable manifestation of New Eng
land luxury. Everything about this house
•s superb. A unique feature Is a library.
This is a beautiful room on the main
floor, containing about 3,000 carefully se
lected volumes encased in antique oak
closets. It is a hotel circulating library,
the books being at all times at the dis
posal of guests, who find catalogues In
their rooms.
The existence on a profitable basis of
these Aladdin-like American public pnl
aces speaks eloquently for the volume
of wealth distributed among the Ameri
can people. It Is a> bustness object les
son which, divested of sentimentality,
will do more than any other to reveal to
the future historian the vast natural re
sources of the United States at the end
of the nineteenth century.

me. She has been good, tender and true,
but there is an undeftnable something
about her which has always made me
wonder who she is.”
“This set me to thinking.” said Mr.
Austin, “and I decided to write to Char
lesion, which I did, addressing *he letter
to the owner of 116 Meeting rtreet, and
signing myself W. O. Post. It happened
that 116 Meeting street had been turned
Into a fire station years ago, but Chief
Maringenhoff took the matter up and in
formed me that in 1860 this house was oc
cupied by a W. Davis. The mat
ter was given publicity in the
newspapers there, and afterward
in New York, and attracted con
siderable attention. I th Q n decided to go
to Charleston and make Investigation for
the purpose of tracing the story from the
begu.nlf g. Not being overfl ish with m-ajis
I secured a place with one of the thea
ters there for a two weeks’ engagement.
I was richly rewarded by my visit. The
four oil poi traits played a premin nt part
there. One was oi myse.f. the other of
my sister. Ano her. I had been given to
understand, was that of my father, and
the fourth of my mother. Th° woman
who died in New York had always claimed
this to be her portrait, but after her
death I easily discovered that alterations
had been made in the painting to give it
a resemblance to her and that with these
removed it presented an entirely different
appearance.”
Briefly stated, Mr. Davis, or Mr. Austin,
as he still calls himself, succeeded in find
ing in Charleston several of the older cit
izens who identified the paintings as those
of Charies Solomon Davis and his wife,
Anita C. Davis, and who gave affidavits
to this effect. The former was a city de
tective of Charleston and only died three
years ago at the age of 68, having taken
unto himself another wife. The mystery
as to the separation from his first wife
was not entirely cleared up. Some
trace of Benjamin Davis Ellis and
wife, his mother’s parents, was also
secured. They are believed to have left
Charleston in the early sixties, and to
have moved to Philadelphia. The deedn
to the Philadelphia property from which
the reputed mother derived her revenue,
are in the name of Benjamin Davis Ellis
to Anita C. Davis. With this evidence,
and other evidence which he expects to se
cure, Mr. Austin hopes to be able to es
tablish his right to the Philadelphia
property, and also to a piece of property
In New York, to which Mrs. Fernando
made a deed in the name of Anita C.
Davis, to which, by her own statements
to various parties, she was not entitled.
If Mr. Austin-Davis succ*eeds in estab
lishing the fact of his strange career and
that of his reputed mother, as he has out
lined them, he will lay the foundation for
a most remarkable romance and give a
new confirmation to the old saw that
truth is stranger than fiction. He has fre
quently heard Mrs. Fernando speak
of a sister who was confined in a lunatic
asylum in Indiana and he thinks it possi
ble that this is his mother. Of his own
sister all he knows is fhat on his return
from one of his tours he was informed
ihat she had died during his absence.
There are many links in the chain to be
filled in, which Mr. Austin hopes to do
with the assistance of members of the
Davis family now scattered throughout
the South. He has already discovered a
cousin here in Policeman Moses Davis of
the Savannah force and has heard of oth
er relatives in this section. His main ob
ject in touring the cities of the South, be
ays, is with the view to finding these
relatives and obtaining information from
them needed to establish his claims.
MILLS WILL SHUT DOWN.
Labor Situation at Colautbns Hns
Taken n Serions Turn.
Columbus, Oa., July 14.—Four hundred
carpenters and joiners will be out of work
Monday morning. For some days past the
Carpenters’ and Joiners' Union have been
working for a nine-hour day. The mill
people and contractors refused to grant
their demands, especially aa they have
more work just now than they can do at
present hours.
The union gave the contractors their ul
timatum yesterday, stating that they
would quit work Tuesday morning, unless
their requests were granted. The contrac
tors and planing mill men met and decid
ed to take the bull by the horns. They
adopted resolutions to close down all their
plants and call off work on all contracts
Monday morning. The men were given
notice to this effect this afternoon.
Four hundred men are concerned and it
is said to-night that the entire Columbus
Iron Works, with 200 men. will shut down
on account of the strike, which will par
alyze the building trade. Scores of build
ings are under contract, and the matter is
making a mm.an;ion.
The contractors claim that, as the plan
ing miils intended to shut down, it was
necessary for them to join the movement
as they could do nothing without material.
The big building boom will be checked,
temporarily, at least. The action on the
part of the mills and contractors was a
complete surprise to the union.
SOUTHERNS’ MACHINISTS.

in fair Prospect.
Gainesville, Ga., July 14 —Mr. J. W.
Adams, president of the Dahlonega Con
solidated Gold Mining Company, was here
Wednesday to confer with local persons
concerning the 'building of the Gaines
ville and Dahlonega Railroad. The propo
sition made toy him is that the people
here donate $20,000 to the road, to be paid
when the road is built and running over
the line on schedule time.
The plan most favored is to run a pas
senger line from the Southern depot to
the public square up Main street; from
the Gainesville, Jefferson and Southern
depot to the public square; from the pub
lic square to the Hunt House; from Hunt
House (o Green street, and out Green
street to the power house at the Chatta
hoochee river. A line will also be run
from the public square to the Seminary,
and to New Holland; a line up Race
street from Seminary to the main line at
same point on Green street.
A freight will be run over a
route, to be determined later,
perhaps the Price survey to the
Chattahoochee river. This will be deter
mined later by the officers of the com
pany and citizens of the city who will
agree on the best route.
It is the intention of the company to
build a power house at the Chattahoochee
river. Among other things contemplated
is a summer hotel at the river with all
necessary attachments. Many believe
that if the road is built and a hotel erect
ed. Gainesville can regain her prestige as
a summer resort.
The committees appointed to raise the
money necessary to secure this enterprise
have raised something over SB,OOO. The
agreement is that work will commence
within ninety days after the amount is
subscribed and the road to be completed
by next January.
Dahlonega and Gainesville are to raise
$20,000 each. Dahlonega is already at
work getting up her donation. If the
money Is raised Gainesville will not only
secure a road to Dahlonega, but a com
plete railway system for the city.
