REDUCTION IS DEMANDED l)'
WHOLE QUESTION OF SLEEPING
CAR RATES WILL BE OPEN.
ED UP.

Washington, May ga definite ef-
fort was begun yesterday before the
interstate commerce commission to
secure to the public reduction in the
rates charged by the Pullman compa.
ny for its sleeping car accommoda-
tions. This is the first time in the
history of the commission that pro.
ceeding has been brought against the
Pullman company.
Three complaints were filed against
the Pullman company and various
Northwestern railroads that are made
co-defendants by George s. LOTUS of
st. Paul, MINI.
Charges Are Unjust.
Mr.. Lotus AYERS that, in the course
of his business, he is obliged to travel
from st. Paul to various other points
and to use the accommodations of the
Pullman company. The charges for
the accommodation, he declares, are
unjust, unreasonable and excessive,
and he asks that the commission re-
duce them.
At the Offices of the commission the
complaints, which are brought under
the most recent act of congress on
the subject of rates, are regarded as
of Importance in that they will open
up the whole question of sleeping car
rates, not only on the lines mentioned
specifically in the complaint, but
throughout the country.

 There is in Liverpool England, today a girl fifteen years old named Sarah Saun- ders, who is the most successful rat catcher in Great Britain and the only fe- male engaged in the business. She took m the profession when her father died, but is better at it than he was.
 The girl is under contract to keep five big warehouses free from rats and she has two men to assist her. Just how they work is secret, but they some times catch as high as 300 in night. The rats are skinned and their fur dyed and made up into muffs and boas The girl is said to make as much as 5000 a year. The number of rats killed is about 1000 per month.

LIFE IN NEW YORK HOTELS.
Prices Paid By Men Who Have Money
 to Burn.

From New York Letter to the Phila-
 delphia Public Ledger.
 John w. Gates reservation of suite of rooms in the new Plaza hotel, which will cost him $42,000, has called atten- ton to the staggering prices piad for accommodations in the great hotels and apartment houses of New York. Fifth avenue, of course, is the street on which the highest rentals are , charged. At the Holland house, for instance, there are suites consisting of nothing more than two rooms-a par Tor and a bath-costing $15,000 year. These are corner suites, with front age on Fifth avenue. Fully thirty-f1ve suites in this hotel are leased by per sons who are practically permanent guests. No other city can show any thing like such prices for hotel accom- modations, not even London during the season, when all hotel rates are raised from 30 to 50 per cent.
 At the Waldorf-Astoria there are number of permanent guests paying in the vicinity of $20,000 a year for small suites. Prices of an impressive nature are likewise the rule among the apart ment hotels in the Fifth avenue dis trict. At the Renaissance, on the cor ner of Forty-third street and Fifth ave nue, suites may be made up according to the pleasure of the persons leasing them at the rate of $600 to $500 for each room per month
 In the apartments above the Van Jordan Trust company, on the corner of Fifth avenue and Sixteenth street, ten-room suites cost as much as $12,- GOO year, unfurnished. At the Bolken- haven, on the corner of Fifty-ninth street, 5000 a year for a furnished apartment and $7500 for one unfur- nished are by no means unusual fig ures. But when 1t is considered that James J. Hill and other magnates fre- ouent this region when in town, such prices begin to appear less astonish- ing. Apartments at Sherry's are leased at the rate of 5000 per room year. The average cost of small suites in the Sherry building is s500o per year.
