OCEAN LINERS DE LUXE.
Doubtless MIR. Morgan, Like others,
Was Surprised by These Plans.

From the London Express.
The liners which Mr.. Morgan has plan
ned for the ocean ferry as the Express
exclusively announced some days ago,
are to excel In luxuriousness anything
that has ever been seen on water before.
They will be to sea travel what the
Limited train is to the American rail-
way.
An official of a leading American line
who has been in consultation with Mr..
Morgan at Aiex-les- Bains. returned to
London recently. To an Express repre-
sentative he said at the Carlton:
Mr. Morgan and his interests have
planned a sea service on the Atlantic that
will make ocean travel as pleasant as
human ingenuity can ever hope to make
1t.
IT was allowed while at Aix-les-Bains
to see the plans for the two liners de
luxe which are to be constructed for the
comfort of that class which does not have
to consider money when luxurious living
is concerned.
"In the first place, these boats, both
Of which will be five-day vessels, will
carry none but first-class passengers.
There will be no single cabins, but
suites of apartments, consisting of parlor,
bedroom, and tiled bathroom. There will
be suites with more rooms, but the ma
jority will have three.
THE suites will be furnished in the rich
est fashion and variously decorated.
There will be color schemes to suit all
fancies, and many styles of furniture will
be represented. The passageways will be
broad and well lighted.
1.-THE public rooms will be magnificent
creations, decorated by famous artists.
The dining room will have no long general
tables, the arrangement being one of
small tables, similar to that of the res
taurant of the Hotel Ritz in Paris. In
genious devices will be used to prevent
upsets in stormy weather, and each table
will have two attendants
"a pleasant feature will be grill room.
"a dairy will be maintained on board.
ship quarters being provided in the space
usually devoted to the Storage for a
small herd OF Jerseys. Along with the
cows there will be carried number OF
hens. Thus the millionaire can have
fresh milk and new laid eggs though l.
900 miles from land.
"The arrangements for providing and
keeping food are perfection. do not
think that the Carlton or the Waldorf
Astoria will be able to serve a better din
ner.
THE greatest novelty will be cafe
chantant where an excellent entertain
ment will be given each evening. the in
tention being to engage high-class ar
lists. A theater supper will be served
after the performance.
''The full details of these liners for mil
lionaires would take me many hours 20
tell and / must summarize. There Will
be a gymnasium. a large library, a sun
room. a fully-stocked conservatory 20 pro-
vide fresh flowers daily, a skilled medical
stan. readers, stenographers. manicures,
massseurs. and special rooms for dogs,
who will be housed as beht the pets OF
plutocrats.
THE cheapest passage will be 200.
There is no question but that the YES
sells will pay There are many thousand
Americans who have the desire TO escape
from the mob In ocean travel and to get
away from the present dull uniformity OF
tho Atlantic passage. Life on the ocean
wave in a liner de luxe will be some
thing for the marine poets TO sing about"
