Let me endeavor to give you picture
Of what this part of Broadway is-fifty
hotels, two hundred restaurants, twenty
theaters, hundred cigar stores, and /
don't know how many millinery shops,
jewelry stores, haberdasheries and
drinking saloons. They say there are
many gambling houses, too, but of this !
know nothing from personal observation.
Still 1t would not be surprising if in this
gay section of Broadway, or near by it,,
there were tigers lairs and even worse
places by the score, for everything that
Is sportive, reckless, demoralizing and
pleasure giving thrives hero like green
bay tree
The people who infest this gay Broad
way appear to have nothing to do but to
spend money Where all the money
comes from is mystery to me. 10
watch the Broadway crowds spend
money one would never think there
were such things as poverty, want, d.
spair in the world.
Not more than one-half of these pleas
ure seeking throngs are New Workers.
In walk along this thoroughfare you
meet men from all parts of the United
Ststes, from all parts of the world
Many are respectable and important
persons at their homes, guests of the
hotels, in New York on business. Many
are here merely for pleasure.
Ii there is q spendthrift in this coun-
try, young idiot who has "comc into"
money and who is troubled with an itch
for spending it, the chances are you
will find him along Broadway. If a
dissipated youth is missing from home,
here is where his anxious parents should
come in search of him. If there is
wandering boy who has, through some
lucky stroke i'll the poolrooins, become
imbued with the notion that he is q
"plunger" and destined to make his
fortune betting on horse races, hunt
on Broadway will surely disclose him.
IL pretty, stylish and hayward girl
has run away from home and failed to
send her address to her sorrowing par
ents, seek her on the west side of Broad
way, between Fourteenth and Forty
second streets.
While all sorts and conditions of men
and women may be found on Broadway
there are certain places at which you
may be sure of finding certain kinds
Of people, For instance, all the Demo
cratic politicians go to the Hoffman
House, kept by the famous Stokes. All
the Republican politicians go to the
Fifth Avenue hotel.
Sporting men, followers of the races,
may be found at the Coleman House.
Actors assemble at the Brewer House.
Washington and New York state people
go to the Gilsey House. New England
Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-10-17

ers are partial to the Sturtevant. South
ern visitors, who formerly registered at
the old New York hotel now go to the
Victoria.
With few exceptions the New York
hotels are conducted on the European
plan, and should judge all are man
aged with view to making millionaires
OF their owners in tie shortest possible
time. For two dollars day they viii
give you small bedroom, high up and
perhaps ''inside" merelya place to sleep.
II you want fairly decent room, sach
as you have at home, You must pay three
or four dollars n day. A room with bath
is from five to seven dollars. Ii you
want parlor or reception room, you
may pay ten or as many more dollars
per day as you like.
These prices, mind you, are for the
rooms alone. Your meals you pay for
as you get them-as long as your money
holds out. The simplest sort of break
fast-fruit, eggs, bread and coffee, or
something like that--costs you very
nearly dollar. What the check doesn't
take out of your dollar bill the waiter
expects and generally manages to get.
Two Bartlett pears cost you forty cents;
coffee with cream-aud what civilized
man ever heard of coffee without creami
is only thirty-fve cents in New York
A fair dinner will spoil a two dollar bill,
Your supper or luncheon is $3.50. Be
sides you must tip the porter and the
hall hoy and the chombsrmaid And III
you have nice room and live well you
Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-10-17

Win be lucky If you get off with less
than eight or ten dollars day.
Nevertheless there are thousands of
people spending their money in these
hotels and cafes. Hundreds of fashion
able restaurants are crowded all the
time Cabs and carriages are basy. The
theaters are full. Fine clothes are seen
everywhere. Expensive cigars-and in
this part of New York the man behind
the counter loses respect for you If you
ask for anything cheaper than three for
a half dollar-are smoked by the mil
lion. Wine flows and whisky too.
Broadway financiering is queer. Cham
payne is sold at the regulation price of
$3.50, but beer is dime and whisky
twenty cents drink. In the New York
hotels they sell you two cent newspapers
for five cents, though you can get them
just outside the door at publishers
prices. If you don't leave all your money
in New York it is not the fault Of the
New York hotel keepers.
The part of Broadway of which
write is most interesting in the after
noon of fair autumn day. Nowhere
else that have been is it possible to see
so many beautiful women. 1t seems as
if all the beautiful women in the United
States have rendezvoused In this gay
mile and half. Their gowns and mil
linery are poems. For a man suppose
l have always taken extraordinary in.
terest in fashion magazines. Every

Until visited New York had never
believed the sort Of gowns one sees
pictured in the Paris fashion plates had
any real existence. I had supposed
they were fancy pictures, like artists
studies Of pretty heads. Yet here they
are, along Broadway, not in specimen,
not in occasional happy imitation, but
in fact and by the thousand, as artistic
and pretty and chic as if they had been
cut out Of the fashion plates, enlarged
by some legerdemain to woman's size
