GREATEST OF HOTEL TOWNS.
Tens Of Thousands Of New Workers
Give Up Home Life.


From the New York Sun.
The latest edition of the Social Register
contains a list of 1900 families living In
hotels In New York city. This. of course.
does not include all the citizens of this
great old town who have given up home
life of the kind their parents knew.
An expert who has studied the hotel busi-
ness of two hemispheres says that New
York cares for three times as many persons
in hotels as does London, six times as many
as does Paris and ten times as many as
does any other city that can be named
There are 1875 large hrst-clasS hotels In
Manhattan alone, more than 800 including
the smaller ones. and, at the rate Of con-
struction at present, the calculation has
been made that within twenty years there
will be on Manhattan Island alone 1856 no.

says Success that New York has become
the city of the earth most conspicuous for
its hotels.
1t is said that at one of the well-known

profit At least four of the fashionable ho-
tells are said to have wines In their cellars
to the value Of $1.5OO.OO0. The annual bill
for cut flowers used by these places runs
from $4,000 to 100000
One house says that its yearly butter bill
Is $57 1000. more than the salary Of the Pres
ident OF the United States. AS this is not
one of the largest hotels. there may be but
ter bills in town that are bigger even than
the salary of an insurance president.

HOURS OF TRAINMEN.
Bill to Limit Time Of Consecutive EN-
ployment.

The House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce decided today to make a
favorable report on a bill limiting the time
of consecutive employment Of trainmen in
sixteen hours. In the main. the bill agreed
upon Is the same as the measure introduced
in the House by Representative Esch of
Wisconsin, but 1t will be reported as a SUBJ
stitute for the LaFollette sixteen hour bill,
which has already passed the Senate, and
thus the consideration of the measure again
on the floor Of the Senate win be avoided,
as 1t win go to conference. In addition to
limiting the hours Of labor for men actually
engaged In moving trains, the bin also con-
tains an amendment by Representative
modified form to operators and train dis
patchers. It provides that operators shall
not work more than nine consecutive hours
in stations or towers which are kept open
day and night. and the time for their en-
ployment In day stations II limited to thir-
teen hours.
