Il NEW YORK. October e8.-There will be
no floors numbered thirteen In the new
sky-scraper hotels. They must change
their numerical base. The Gotham, Fif-
gty-flfth Street and Fifth Avenue, Is the
ploncer2in the ant-thirteen crusade. The
others will follow. When the Gotham was
opened a few weeks ago 1t had a floor
bearing the unlucky numeral, but 1t has
one no more. II is now fourteen, Inn
pervious to superstition and feared by
none.
Senator Thomas C. Platt, OF New York.
was one of the first guests to register at
the Gotham. When he entered the hotel
E he waA met by its manager. Frank w.
Bennett. who ministered personally to Mr..
Platt's wants.
Senator" he said, as he turned the
register for. Mr.. Plat to inscribe. "rll
give you a suite on floor 49,"
Mr.. Platt Interrupted his registration
long enough to look up and smile know
ingly He said nothing. but there was n
world of wisdom In his smile.
''Oh,s, yes, certainly. - intcrposcd Mr..
Bennett, pcrcciving the predicament. for
Mr.. Platt's inquiring expression told the
story. TN put you on floor 12,''
The next guest to register was ". B.

nett.
'Mr. Bennett" said the broker. you
ought to know better. Cut 1t out: like
wise cut floor 10 out. Put 1t on the roof.

The Gotham manager accepted the ad-
vice. and there is no longer floor 10 In
the house.

MAMMOTH HOSPITAL
FOR new YORK 70 POOR !: Q.

Especial 10 The Times ispatch)
n NEW YORK, October 28.--One OF the
most extensive works In behalf Of the.
poor OF the city ever undertaken Is about
10 be started by the Department of
Charities, In the form of a sanatorlunl
persons suffering from tuberculosis.
Plans for the sanatorium. prepared By
Raymond +. Almirall, of No. 81 Cham,
hers Street, nrn now complete, and the
actual work Of building Will probably be
started early next spring.
Situated OH the highest hill on Staten
Island. overlooking New York harbor,
and with accommodations In its wards
for eight hundred patients. the sanatcr.
kind In the world. For it's construction
alone s2,Do,oO0 WHY be necessary.
The plan. which will in all probability
be accepted, was prepared after careful
study OF consumption hospitals by the
architect and by DR.. John II. Fitzgerald,
OF the Department OF Charities Mayor
Mcclellan and Commissioner Tully per.
sonnlly approved the plans as they were
being drawn.
Fourteen buildings are included In the
plar, all 30 situated as to have the
maximum OF light and air and all con-
nectcd by means OF an enclosed pron1en!-
ndc. Eight OF the buildings. which VIII
be the hospital wards will be built in a
largo arc, in the centre OF which VIII
stand the administration buildings. The
dining hall will be convenient to all
buildings. In 1t are accommoda-
lions for the help OF the In
stitution. while the main dining
hall will be divided into three. sections to
facilitate operation. There will be two
sun parors and n chapel III
Particular attention has been paid to
the ward buildings, each OF which will be
provided with yerandas Of sufficient
space 70 accommodate every bed. On top
OF each building Will DO a roof garden.
In excess OF the ward buildings proyls
Ions are. also made for eight hundred
more beds in tents about the grounds
OF the sanatorium.
In selecting Staten Island for the hos
pltal the city officials based their de-
csion on the fact that the city poor pre-.
fer not to go SO far from their homes
for treatment that they will be out OF
reach Of their friends. It Is thought that
with the hospital so close to Manhattan
an old law relating to compulsory treat
mcnt OF tuberculosis may be enforced.

from an attack of the grip, and

LARGER SALARY.

There has been, during this
session, considerable agitation in
congressional circles relative. to
the increase of the salary Of the
President Of the United States
from fifty thousand dollars to
double that amount. The in
crease should BY all means be
made, for. even when the Presi-
dent shall be paid one hundred
Ithnusand dollars per annum it
will still be less than one-tenth
the amount paid to rulers of first
class powers, and this, notwlth-
standing the fact that we are the
richest nation in the world.
There are hundreds of men in
the United States who are receiv-
ing larger per annum salaries
than the President. There has
been no increase in the Presi.
dents salary since Grant was re-
elected in 1872, or for thirty-three
years.
Since that time lie country ha'
more than doubled its wealth
nearly doubled its population anc
greatly extended its power and in.
Ifluence In the affairs of the WORLD
Salary of one hundred thousand
dollars is little enough for the
maintenance OF the responsibility
and dignity of the highest Office
of the nation.
