(Copyright. l!>0O, by YV. YV. Young.) , 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 j|| & THL AfrwriuiT Biggest Apartment House ln> New York (Showing Its Bize Contrasted With That of an Ordinary Brick "Block.") 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, Dining Room in a Gorgeous Philadelphia Apartment. 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 1 one apartment to a floor, and the rental 0 f eac j, ts sio,ooO-unfurnisheU, of routs*. There are no fewer than fifty buildings In the country In which rents for apart ments run ns high as $5,000 to $7,500. Vet ,r < building of such composite palaces Is **lll In Its Infancy. Apartments which tent nr from $1,200 to $2,500 are about as fommM now as were private houses a lew yokes ngo. hsliy Very Large Income*. The prices paid for opartments are fairly accurate indexes of the Incomes '"Joyed by the renters, of course. Ac ceding to the usual standards, the pay ln S of from $1,200 to $2,500 a year rental I'.’t apartments would Imply Incomes from. *"'°W to SIO,OOO a year. But to ry In 'ent of from $5,000 to $12,000 for npart ntente nn annual outlay for which there 15; nothing to show at the end of the year •'i.r-Mpt thp memory of twelve months of luxury, implies a much greater propor ‘onte Income; for the citizen who can , '" r d to do It Is he who Indulges In other , * tries on a similarly magnificent scale. £tmost Invariably he has his country 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. William Wesley Young. go ITT H AFRICAN ANTS. Their Predatory Powers—The Anrd vasrk's Work. From the London Mall. "Tommy" at the front will be making acquaintance now with a great many an imals and insect* with whtve friendship he would gladly dispense. One of the pest* of Couth Africa are the ants; the black ones that prey upon a man's person when they get the chance, and the white onthat eat and enjoy anything from a pair of boots to a bedroom curtain. When Baldwin was hunting In A/rlca between the yearn 1852 and 1860, taking the country between Natal and the Zam besi for his quarry, he fell In constantly with these ants. So vicious were the at tentions of the black ones that, valiant hunter though he was, they oatne off th* the Countesses of Dudley and Warwick, Lady Helen Vincent and the Marchioness of Londonderry in their prime, conceded that the young Lady Chesterfield sur passed them all. and for the present th daughters of the enormously rich ship owner of Hull are the leading beauties of the most fashionable society of Gre.** Britain. There was very little surprise felt when the engagement of Miss Joan Wilson to Lord Chesterfield was announc ed, for though this eminently agreeable and handsome peer, the tenth earl of his line and the owner of Holme Lacy, one of the most famously beautiful houses in England, and had come to his forty-fifth year a bachelor, Miss Wilson’s beauty nnd charm, not to mention her great for tune. conquered his prejudice in favor of single blessedness, where many another brilliant debutante had so signally failed. victors In a tussle between himself and them. "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 to horsemen here. It also causes conster nation to the nervous by tunneling Just sufficiently high to create a series of con vulsive earthquakes as a guide to Its sub terranean promenades. Not guessing what the cause la. It Is alarming to sec the ground ripple all of a sudden, and mounds of loose earth be thrown up here and there. The "aadvaark” Is so ugly, and Its ap pearance is so sudden arid totally unan nounced, that stalwart men have been 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 "Tommy” was so taken aback that he fled Immediately, startling the camp with the awful news that "the old gentleman” was In their midst.
