, 6W York. July 20.—That rich Ameri-
are wiling to pay any price for
, hat which meets their ever-increasing
demand for luxury Is strikingly Illustrat
ed by the remarkable growth of high class
apartment house building In our large
cties Present indications are that the
day of private city mansions is on the
decline, in some degree at least, and huge
piles of palaces, one on top of the other,
from ten to hundreds under a single
sheltering roof, are taking their places.
Rich as as poor in our gTeat cities
are now living much like the ancient cliff
dwellers; the poor in what they are con
tent to call "flats.” the wealthy in what
they insist on calling "apartments,”
though the latter, except In size and lux
urious appointments, are very like the
former. A famous New York auctioneer
once put up for sale what he called a
vase. When he found that Its estimated
value was more than a hundred dollars
he begged the pardon of his audience and
said that he had Just noticed that It was
not a "vase,” but a “vaze.” That is about
the distinction made between a “flat" and
an "apartment.”
A private house fitted up at an expense
of $10)000 is considered luxurious almost
anywhere on earth. To expend so much
money In fitting up an apartment, a suite

of rooms not owned by the tenant, but
rented by the year, was unheard of a
few years ago; yet such lavishness Is not
uncommon in this country now, and there
are several apartments In the city of
New York, the decorations and special
furnishings in each of which represent an
outlay of $200,000 or even more.
Excellent four-story private residences
In select portions of New York city may
be rented for $7,000 or SB,OOO a year. That
many citizens to whom money is no ob
ject prefer apartments nowadays to own
ing their owr. homes or renting private
houses Is shown by the fact that every
apartment in the city which rents at tho
top price, $12,000 a year, is occupied, and
the "waiting lists" are long. The owner
of the apartment building ot the corner
of Fifth avenue and Forty-fifth 6treet,

one of the highest priced In the city, said
on this point recently:
High Priced Apartments in Demand.
"I have never had any trouble In rent
ing $12,000 apartments, and If I had six or
seven more of that kind they would bo
taken immediately, for all I would have
to do would be to send word to a few peo
ple on my waiting list who are anxious to
abandod their private residences as soon
as they can find suitable apartments.
When we first opened our house we were
prepared to throw a series of rooms into
a suite, the rental of which would have
been $20,000 a year; but at that time there
was no call for It. The greatest demand
sems to be for suites of five rooms, with
baihs, which rent for $7,500 a year. These
prices are for unfurnished rooms.”
In the Rolkenhayn, at Fifth avenue and
Fifty-eighth street, several of the twelve
gorgeous apartments rent for $12,000 a
Vear. unfurnished, and the prices of the
others are ijot much under that figure. A
New Yorlmrchltect who has built several
high class apartment houses is Just com
pleting one at Sixty-seventh street and
Madison avenue which Is eight stories

oue, closing his apartments from four
htmonths out of the year; he has
8 horses and carriages in the city and
j a large reiinue of household and personal
servants, often as many as ten.
It is safe to say, then, that the income
| of such an apartment dweller must gen-
I daily lie at least $ltK),000 a year; in many
■ eases it is much more. Basing a con
clusion on the present popularity of higri
priced apartments, it seems clear that
there is a surprisng number of men. in
the I rated Slates whose Incomes ere $150,-
000 or more a year. An officer of the
New York Chamber of Commerce said
to the writer recently that five hundred
would be a very conservative estimate
of the number of men in New York alone
whose incomes are three or more times
as large as that of the President of the
T nited States. And it is a fact that un
der the prevailing system of luxurious
living, with their gorgeous apartments,
their country homes, their private yachts,
their private railway cars, etc., most of
them are llvng pretty well up to the
limit.
A City of Composite Palaces.
Naturally, New York, particularly the
borough of Manhattan, on account of the
very high value of the ground, is further
advanced than any other city In luxurious
apartment house building. Instead of be
ing a “city of homes,” it has become a
“city of composite palaces.”
One curious development of the apart
ment house Idea, is joint ownership of
buildings by the tenants; great buildings
in which the tenants purchase their apart
ments outright—purchase holes in walls
high up in the air Just as they might pur
chase ordinary real estate. Instead of
owning to the center of the earth and as
far above, through air and space, as they
wish to lay claim to, their possession is
bounded above by the floor of the flat over
head and below by the ceiling of the flat
underneath. Their apartments are noth
ing more than human cliff swallows’ nests.
As much os $!80,000 has been paid for
a single apartment of this kind in the
Knickerbocker, at the corner of Fifth
avenue and Twenty-eighth street, New
York. The other well known apartment
houses in that city, the Gramercy and the
Chelsea, have made a success of this sys
tem. In the Gramercy the highest price
paid by the original stockholders for
apartments of ten rooms was $16,000, and
for apartments of seven rooms from $7,500
to SB,OOO was paid. There are eighteen
stockholders, each owning his apartments.
These form a stock company, which owns
the ground upon which the building
stands. There are a number of other
apartments for renting, the income from
which is supposed to pay all the general
running expenses of the house.
All of the rooms in the Knickerbocker,
except the bachelor quarters on the tenth
floor, and the stores on the ground floor,
were bought outright. The apartments
sold for from $15,000 to $50,000 each to the
original purchasers and have changed
hands subsequently a* largo premiums.
The revenue from the bachelor quarters
and stores pays the running expenses.
Most of (he apartments are of two stories,
a private stairway running from the first
floor, In which are the drawing room, din
ing room, butler's pantry, library, etc.,
to the floor above, where are the bed
rooms, kitchen, etc. As many as twenty
rooms are In a single apartment, and
servants' quarters on ihe eleventh floor
are Included in the sale.
Fortune* Spent In Furnishing*.
One tenant In this house has spent
more than SIOO,OOO on his apartment. Al
though there are only three in his family
he has ten servants on the premises. In
cluding coachman, footman, chefs, valets
ond maids. More than $27A000 was spent
by the tenant of the apartment on the
second and third floors In JJeting it with
speoially built furniture, rich tapestries,
etc. Two hundred thousand dollars is the
estimated cost of another gorgeously ap
pointed apartment in this house.
Perhaps the most fashionable large
apartment house in the country.is the one
nt No. 121 Madison avenue, In New York.
Its tenants are all of the millionaire cluss,
and so magnificently is the house ap
pointed that there is no economy in living
there, for the maintenance of an apart
ment costs as much sc living In the
highest class private house. Of the twen
ty-eight apartments, twenty-four are of
the two-story type. A peculiar fact is
that twenty-one of the tenants are wo
men—widows of millionaires and bachelor
girl daughters of millionaires. Nearly
every one of these bachelor girl tenants
keep five servants at least.
It Is no common thing for a tenant in
moving Into a suite which rents for $7,000
or so to remodel and redecorate It at a
personal expense of SIO,OOO. One tenant,
THE MOKNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 22, 1900.
TWO FAMOUS imiTISH BEATTIES,
The beautiful Gunning sisters a cen
tury ago, the lovely Moncrieffe sisters
forty years back., and now the handsome
Wilson sisters, whose beauty is the talk
of English society, keeps alive the tradi
tion that once in every fifty years nature
is pleased to create in one family a group
of physically perfect women. Two of the
Wilson ladies, the young Countess of
Chesterfield, end Miss Louise Wilson,
made their bow to the Queen a very short
time ago, in fact the Countess was only
presented this year, and- though there
were scores of fair young matrons and
debutantes at the drawing room, she
easily distanced them all by her marvel
ous red gold hair, brown eyes and maten
less complexion. Experienced beaux and
judges of beauty, who could- remember
though her lease ran. only three years,
went to great expense in having three
rooms remodeled into a perfectly appoint
ed ttfeator. A millionaire who occupies
twenty rooms on the eleventh floor is now
having alterations made principally to his
dining room, involving an outlay of $lO.-
000. He has lived there seven years, and
has just signed a lease of ten years.
The Central Park Apartment building
at Fifty-ninth street and Seventh avenue,
are the largest in- the world, their esti
mated cost being over $7,000,000. There
are eight distinct buildings, connected
with arcade*, all under one roof, and to
all appearances forming but one gigantic
house. There are 134 apartments, renting
from $4,000 to $9,000 a year. More million
aires live there than were ever before or
elsewhere gathered under one home roof.
The Bolkenhayn is without doubt the
most luxurious apartment house in the
country. It occupies four city lots, ia
six stories high and hos only two apart
ments on a floor. When it is considered
that the building cost over s3oo.oo<\ and
that it takes many thousands annually to
maintain it, it is easy to see that its
twelve tenants must have princely in
comes in order to pay the rents demand
ed; and yet the waiting list is always
large. The house is named in honor of
the owner’s old home in the little town of
Bolkenhayn, Silesia, and, instead of be
ing numbered, each apartment is named
after one of the iilustrous Hohenzollerns,
from the electoral prince down to the
present emperor, or after uch prominent
men as Bismarck, Von Moltke and others
who have been closely identified with the
dynasty. Each of the apartments is equal
In size to an ordinary four-story city
home.
A novel feature of the "New Century"
apartment house, which is now being built
at Seventy-ninth street and West End
avenue, shows how builders keep abreast
of the times, and how considerate they
are of the needs of their wealthy ten
ants. This feature is a large room for the
storage of automobiles. There will be
space for twelve, and arrangements are
made for charging them with electricity
on the premises.
A feature of a $1,000,000 house nearing
completion at Ninety-second street and
Central Park, west, will be a ball room
seventy-five feet long on the first floor
for the exclusive use of the tenants.
Another house a little further uptown
has a theater seating about 200 for the
amusement of the modern luxury loving
apartment dweller.
Next to New York. Chicago has made
the most progress in apartment house
building. Their private dwellings are
also being rapidly deserted for the new
and often more expensive, style of domi
cile. Throughout the best residence por
tions of the city great apartment houses
have been and are being built, particu
larly around Lincoln Park and along the
lake front on the north side. Though
generally not 90 high as in New York,
rents indicate that the millonalre class
are occupying apartments there.
In Minneapolis and St. Paul, 1n Buf
falo, Boston. Washington and other large
cities the movement toward luxurious
apartments is weil under way. In Wash
ington the Cochran and the Cairo, filled
with wealthy tenants, are among the
sights of the city.
Philadelphia, too, with its Gladstone,
Flanders and other very high class apart
ment houses, has made rapid strides In
this respect. The Flanders is one of the
highest priced apartment houses in the
country. Among those who occupy suites
there are the most prominent leaders in
Quaker City society. The combined for
tunes of twelve of Its tenants are said
to represent over $154,000,000.
One of the most beautifully furnished
apartments is that of Mr. William L.
Elkins. To look at It one would not
think that he regards M "only ns a
camping out place during the severe win
ter months, when his country home is
not so desirable.” but that is the way he
speaks of It. His suite consists of eight
rooms, for which he pays a yearly rental
of SB,OOO. There is a quiet air of luxury
about the rooms, the most charming of
which Is the drawing room, or "red
goom,” as It is callhd. Mr. Elkins has
spent over $2,000 in beautifying this one
room.
Although he has a house In the suburbs
in which there are 123 sleeping rooms and
numerous drawing rooms, libraries, art
gallery, etc., Mr. P. A. B. Widener has
an apartment similar to that of Mr. El
kins In the Flanders. In it the drawing
room has received the accent. It Is fitted
in colonial style, the effect is striking,
and wns obtained at a cost of $2,000. The
Widener and Elkins apartments occupy
an entire floor and are maintained at a
cost of fully SIO,OOO a year, though they
are occupied only a few months. These
two gentlemen use the boll room of the
house so much for great banquets that
It has come to be regarded as a part of
their apartments. Its design Is Louis XVI,
and It is considered one of the most ar
tistic rooms In America.

"Had some exciting sport with sea cows
in a narrow river with very high reeds
on both banks," he write* in his diary.
"To get a shot I was obliged to climb the
trees overhanging the river, and had one
or two good chances, but the villainous
black ants fell ui>on me vigorously and in
such countless multitudes, biting o se
verely that flesh end blood couid not hold
out another second. I was forced to de
scend, and an old sea cow 1 had been
dodging for two hours is indebted to the
black ants for her life."
The white ants are exceedingly fond of
raiding the happy homes of the colonists
They undermine the foundations by eating
through them—a trick well known to the
contingent fj?om Australia, where this
creature is as much a pest as he Is in
South Africa. "Tommy’’ from the Aus
tralian colonies will rank as an old stager
when dealings with these destructive nui
sances are being carried on, and will be
able to narrate many a harrowing story
concerning them and their prowess.
There are several varieties of the ant
tribe, but they all seem to be fully im
pressed with the proverb, "In union is
.strength." A house-,mlstre.se will go to
bed happy one evening, and the next
morning when she descends will be con
fronted with the mangled remains of what
the night before had been her sitting room
carpet. A hearty meal has been furnish
ed by it to legions of ants, who have not
had the honesty to come by day for the
hospitality that they know would be de
nied them, but have secretly made their
way through the floor—a vast and greedy
I army—and have departed again before
the household has awakened.
The anthills of South Africa will be a
revelation to “Tommy.” Fancy a mound
30 feet high and 100 feet In circumference!
H. Lincoln Tangye, the African travel
er, refers in his book "In New South Af
rica" to the protection these heaps afford
ed his camp. "We made our camp on the
sloping sides of a huge anthill, protected
by its mass and the clump of trees grow
ing on it from the bitter south-east wind."
On one hill, he counted twenty trees of
various sizes growing, the majority of
them thirty or forty feet in height!
Happily there is an ant bear in South
Africa. The Boers call It "aardvaark,"
the earth pig. It and the ants are dead
ly enemies, and both work at night. In
its habit of boring the "aardvaark” Is
like the mole, but it is a much more ter
rifying creature to come across unex
pectedly than is the little brown creature
with which ilnglifhmen are familiar.
This busy underground marauder for
gets to fill up the holes it makes when It
arrives on the outer crust of the veldt,
with the consequence that to the riier
these are pitfalls more dangerous than
are the rabbit holes in an English warren

mounds of loose earth be thrown up here

The "aadvaark” Is so ugly, and Its ap

known to flee before It. A colonist recalls
one story of the war In Zululand, when an
ant bear confronted a sentry on guard
one midnight, with the result that
