4 LUXURY IN MODERN HOTELS. HCI9ES OF BSTERTireiEXT WHICH RIVAL PA LACKS OF ROYALTY. Suit* Costing: Hnndrfdi of Dollars a |)jit—Knornion* Expraufi and Re ceipts—Tlie High Clas* Hotels of Xew York Aloif Are Estimated to Take In Over $114.000,000 a Year. More Than A100.000.000 of Which In Paid for Sheer Luxury—Club Homes in Hotels—Conrlnnive Evi dence of tlie Great Wealth of the American People. 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 LOBBY OF A MODERN HOTEL IN MILWAUKEE. 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 SALT WATER SWIMMING TANK IN A PACIFIC COAST HOTEL. 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 room* will be devoted to this social or ganization. Unusual provls'nn la made THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. JULY 13, 1900. for women guests, there being a ladies* private dining room Several other clubs 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.

LIKE A NOVEL BY DUMAS' Continued From Twentieth Page. 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. Gannon Says the Pay Is Higher Than Usual in the South. Knoxville, Tenn., July 14 —A message re ceived In this city to-day from Vice Pres ident and General Manager Frank S. Gan non of the Southern Railway states that the application of the Southern machinists for a change in rates of pay and shop reg ulations has been received by him. He eay he does not anticipate a strike and does not believe the few “restless spirits" will go so far as to attempt a disruption. He says the Southern's rote of pay is higher than those prevailing in the South, and that It shop basis for this year is $2,- 700,W0. the highest in the history of the combined roads constituting the system. The machinists here are expecting an early answer to their application, Mr. Gannon gave no intimation as to what the answer will be. EDUCATORS LEAVING.

Ilailrond fonneetlmx tile Two Cltle* 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.
