luxury. pure and simple? 1t is hard to
tell. but perhaps the best way OF esti-
mating it is by comparison with the ia
nous Mills hotels in New York. These
two houses, one costing million and the
other about half a million dollars, are not
charitable Institutions; they are profitable
investments. The price of sleeping room
with bath and sitting room privileges in
either of these houses is twenty cents
day, and meals are fifteen cents each,
making the total cost OF living sixtyive
cents a day. The Mills hotels are scrupl-
lousy neat, The meals are served in
courses. and more than ne can eat Is given
to each guest
Thus il would seem that everything
above sixty-five cents a day IS paid for
luxury and added comfort New York's
first class hotel population Of $4,000 could
live in houses like the Mills hotels for SS2,
500 day, or 81. 49,. 800 a year. Figuring on
that basis $2S00oO a day. or $l02, 200, 900
year. is paid for luxury.

MILLS WILL SHUT DOWN.
Labor Situation Mt Columbus Has
Taken Serious Turn.

Taken n Serious Turn.
Columbus. Ga, July H-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 as they have
more work Just now than they can do at
present hours.
The union gave the contractors their I'LL
timatum yesterday stating that they
their requests were granted. The contrac-
tors and planning 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 ii
is said tonight 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 sensation.
The contractors claim that. as the plan
ing mills 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
complete surprise to the union.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Railroad Connecting the Two Cities
in Fair PrOspect.

Gainesville, Ga, July H.-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
vile and Dahlonega Railroad. The propo-
siton made by him is that the people
here donate S20o00 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
lie square 10 the Hunt House. from Hunt
House to Green street, and out Green
street to the power house at the Chatta-
hoochee river. A line win 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
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.
1t is the intention of the company to
Dultu power mouse at the CnattanOOCnee
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 5000. 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
$4,000 each. Dahlonega is already at
work getting up her donation If the
money is raised Gainesville will not only
secure road to Dahlonega, but a COM
plete railway system for the city.

Mr. Whitney's Expensive Quarters.

rooms by the year. Recently he decided
to establish his private Office 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 Taking
the rooms by the year he does not, OF
course, pay a rate proportionate to the
transient rate of 500 day for that part
of the suite which he occupies, but II IS
stated advisedIy that he expends in the
neighborhood of $3.50 a day for his rooms.
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 private draw
ing room furnished as richly as any room
in a king palace. No other hotel guest
in the world lives amid such splendor as
does Mr. Whitney. He is lavish enter
tainer, frequently having fifteen or twenty
friends to luncheon and dinner. 1t would
not be surprising il his bills at the hotel
averaged 500 d day while he Is there. If
maintained throughout the year this would
amount TO $40, 900.
Mr.. John c. Emo, another mulu-million-
aire, lives almost as luXuriously at the
Waldorf-Astoria as Mr.. Whitney, having
occupied for almost two years the pri-
vate hall corner suite on the fourth floor

Some Interesting Figures.
A million dollars is invested in the fur
niture of the Waldorf-Astoria, and !, 400
persons, all-told, are employed at the hight
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 employed in the kitchen, and
the eating department as a whole en-
ploys 730 persons on an average over
5000 meals a day are served, and it is
not an uncommon thing for man with
four or five guests to get $75 dinner in
any of the dozen or more public dining
rooms.
In the sub-basement are the wine cell
lars, and the great cigar humdors. At
the present time $3.50 900 worth of wine
and $4,000 worth of cigars are stored
there, and 1t is expected that the perma-
nent stock will reach $1,000. coo in value.
The Waldorf Astoria's ballroom is one OF
the sights OF the city. 1t Is the most
luxurious single hotel feature in the coun-
try The rental price. varying with the
nature of the entertainments, is as high
as $500 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 OF three items Of inter-
est: Each of the 400 employees receive
! three meals a day free (many being al
| lowed wine) or 400 free meals daily.

| cooking department alone ranges from
| $4,000 year for the chef down to SIS and

During the winter 140 tons OF the besi

New York. July 13-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 81. 900 to $1,000 900 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 eff
fort Is not to build economically, but ex-
peusively; 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 aud transient
guests the five score high class hotels in
the city of New York take care of about
5000 people every day The lowest est
mate made by three representative hotel
men places the average price paid for
rooms and board at $6.25 a day. At that
rate the receipts are $Sl2. 800 day, or $1l4
o., 500 a year.
What part of this great sum IS paid for

proportonately throughout the entire
country. That shrewd hotel men recognize
this is plainly evident For. although the
number of hotels costing about 81, 100000
upward and In which the cost of living
Is 81 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 es-
timated cost of four of the projected no.
tells is sl4, 100000. One is the New Bruins
wick, to be built In New York at a cost
OF s., 900, 900 on the site of the famous old
hotel of that name and adjoining property.
Another is the w. E. d. Stokes A,000,00o
hotel In New York. occupying the west
side of Broadway, between Seventy-third
and Seventy-fourth streets Another is
the g, 900 900 hotel which George c. Boldt
Is TO erect on the site of the Stratford
in Philadelphia. The fourth is the $780,
900 house which a syndicate headed by
Joseph E. Willard of Virginia is to build
20 take the place of the famous Willard
hotel in Washington. Among other note
worthy projected hotel improvements is
the s., 600 900 addition to the Manhattan ho-
tel, New York, now more than half COM
pleted, making 1t a 100000 house. No
less than $5O,OO0,OO0 is now being expended
throughout the country on the erection OF
new hotels in which the element of lux
ury VIII predominant.
The actual cost of the Waldorf-Astoria,
the largest and most luxurious hotel In
the world, has never been made public,
but IL is estimated by good judges at about
100000 When II was projected almost
every one said 1t could not be made %
pay. Yet to-day II is a very profitable
property. 1t is hard to imagine a house
with forty magnificent public rooms, more
than 1900 guests rooms and accommoda-
tons for between 1,400 and 1900 people
being practically filed all the time, but
these figures represent the Waldorf-As-
toria's accommodations, and 1t is con-
stantly crowded.
The payment of from So TO 500 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 pay 800 day for their rooms
the year round. For the famous royal
suite $500 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 $50 a day for year fer
a corner suite overlooking Central Park.
That price did not include meals, and, as
