The failure of the Hotel Brunswick, with .
debt of quarter of q million of dollars
hanging over it, leads the New York San to
discuss the future of high priced hotels in
this country. The Sun is of the impression
that the day for such hostelries has passed
The multiplication of apartment houses may
have something to do with the falling of in
the hotel business and as the Sun says, the
class of people Who chiefly patronized these
expensive houses, men who spend as they
90. Adventures and spectators not backed
by solid capital, are suffering more from
these hard times than almost any other class.
Experimenting the Suns opinions on hotels,
comes the Atlanta Consultation with the state
ment that the high-prced theaters are losing
money like smoke, while the dime museums
and other cheap entertainments are more
literally patronized this winter than ever be-
fore.
The lesson of all this is, we are in period
of economizing, and that to getcusiom, prices
must be made attractive by reason of their
cheapness. The general disposition is to-
ward econ omy. and while the prices In every
OlhcI utICCllOu uofc We hASt-
class hotels and restaurants holding on to
the same prices that prevailed in the days of
greatest prosperity. 1t is so with the thea
tiers. They keep on the war tariff
and refuse to come down in rates to peace
basis. The result has been that the dime
museums have been reaping harvest while
the better class of amusements are starving.
The Union Square theater, of New York, has
taken the lead in reduction of prices, and
announces that seats heretofore sold for S1.5O
will now be sold at 81, and the general adj
mission shall be IS cents. The managers of
Union Square state the entire case when they
say they reduce the prices sin order to meet
the exigencies of the times and keep in SYM
pathy with similar movement throughout
the country"
As things stand the theater has become
luxury out Of reach of the mass OF the
people. This should not be. The very best
class of entertainment should not be be-
yond the means of the people. If they are,
cheap shows multiply, the public taste is
lowered, and the stage misses its mission
The action taken by the Union Square
theater is timely and wise. If its policy is
generally followed the better places Of amuse-
meut will regain the patronage they have
lost, and the public will be largely benefited.

MERRILL's LIFE.
The life and career of S. S. Merrill, late
manager of the Milwaukee & st. Paul road,
has been one of the most brilliant in rail
road management ever attained. He was
considered by officials of other roads as a
man OF untiring energy, keen comprehen-
sion OF tenacity which none could dispute
On occasions he was inclined to be i'm
pulsive, and would do his utmost to wreck the
plans of any one whom he considered
had done him an injustice, He was hon
ored, liked and feared by other managers,
but all were on the most friendly terms with
him. His energy, discipline and generosity
were characteristics clearly embellished in
his face. In his dealings with other corpo-
rations he was brief and to the point. For
instance. he had asked an accession from
another road which was not granted. In
answer he said: ''Then we will parallel your
line" The favor was granted.
