MILLION JEWELLERS
IN GREAT NEW

LUXURIOUS LIFE OF

CBy James ChristophcrD

New York, Feb "A recent est
mate places one million people resi-
dent in the hotels of Manhattan Is
land If this estimate is correct. and
it probably approximate correctness,
it gives New York larger hotel pop
ulation than any. other. city in the
world. 1t has been estimated that
500, 600 Londoners and 100000 Par
isians live in hotels. No other city
either in Europe or America, APP
proaehes these figures.
Not only does New York contain
the largest hotel population of any
city but its hotels are the most lux
urious. II would be difficult for a
guest to want thing that a modern
hotel could not supply. a thousand
people can dance In the ball room at
the Waldorf Astoria. If monkeys were
wanted for a monkey dinner they un-
doubtedly would be provided. One of
the newest, and highest priced of
Manhattans hostleries- is negotiating
for tile Installation Of a tclephonic-
Photographic system which viii en-
able guests to sit in the dining rooms
or even their own rooms and listen
to grand opera. Take Caruso with a
cocktail. Melba with champagne! II
there is anything else the human
heart desires the hotel management
will gladly supply 1t to those who
have the price.
Nearly all the large and many of
the smaller hotels now have roof gar
dens High up above the dirt and
noises and heat of the streets, one
may dine on a summers night with a
fairy land spread out before them
The lights of the city and harbOr. Of
Long Island and the Jersey shore

provided for those whose means per
init the quest of pleasure. Its roof
garden being so popular and so profit
able, one OF the most aristrocratic Of
the hotels has transformed one of its
upper flors into a Venetian garden,
with canals and gondollers. Here one
may feast on the torrapin of the
Chesapeake and sip the vintage of
sunny France amid the environment
Of the ancient Doges. In one hotel
for bachelors only Japanese servants
are employed. II is the aim of the
management to give the hosiery more

are numeroush exclude women religi-
ously from the floors above the first

STRONG GUARD
To PROTECT
KAISER
GERMANS IN DEADLY
FEAR OF ANARCHISTS
Imperial Palace GarriSOned by
Hundred Heavily Armed Po-
IiCemen Ready to Sally Forth
on InStant'S Notice,
(By Walter Dunklrk.)

Berlin, Feb. S.-OutWardly calm,
the city of Berlin is nevertheless far
from having been pacified. The dem
onstrations which the authorities had
looked for on the kaiser's birthday
did not materialize. and to give it the
appearance that all is well only the
usual members of sentries pace the
trottoir in fronS of the imperial palace,
but inside the strong walls Of the
building, invisible from without, are
one hundred policemen, armed with
swords and revolvers, ready for any
emergency. .ss....
The policemen are being fed on the
fat of the land with meals cooked In
the kaiser's own kitchen and at his
expense.
The authorities do not fear the so2-
ialists, who would never do any harm
to the kaiser or anyone else in the
palace, but they are in deadly fear Of
the anarchists, who have been ex-
Ccedingly active OF late ana who are
known to have concocted various plans
of open violence against the kaiser
and Prince BueloW
An order. I am told is to be con-
ferred upon ]. Pierpont Morgan be.
couse he kindly allowed the kaiser to
decorate his palace with some of the
masterpieces by Ensleisn painters
which he owns and which are at pres

envy of Art in this city.
Because enameled bricks, made in
the kaiser's own terra Gotta factory
at Cadiener, nave been used on the
walls of the stations of the Berlin sub
way. the socialists here are very angry.
They claim that the bricks were
used in violation OF the rule which
says that all materials for public work
must be given to the lowest bidder,
and that in this case no one was glVeE
an opportunity to make a bid when
it became known that the kaiser
wanted the order for his own factory
So far no notice has been taken of
the protest and most likely the affair
will be allowed to die out

of the poisoning All the girls have

Fraulein Bertha Seligman. a younS
lady of great wealth, living with her
mother on a. large estate near Buda
Pest, has mystified her friends by sud
denly disappearing on her weddlng
morning.
Although only IS years of age. she
had already broken off six engage
ments, having on each occasion sent
to the discomflted lover cheque for
$500 as compensation.
Two months ago at a friends
house, she met a young doctor who
was fascinated by her beauty and Wit
He wrote to her saying that though
he could never hope to marry her. he
felt he must at least tell her that he
loved her and always would She
wired back "Why not?' which
promptly brought him to her feet
The engagement was officially an
nouncod. and the ceremony was fixed
tor yesterday. She had, however, dis
appeared, and her auto, which had
been taken from the garage. wa
traced to the railway station In her
room she left a letter to her fiance
implOring his forgiveness and saying
that she had really intended TO marry
him but at the last moment she could
not make up her mind to sacrifice her
liberty.
L is believed that she took the ex-
press trait for Paris.
Another act in a long drawn out
tregedy, which has overtaken one of
the most distinguished aristocratic
families in America, is brought to
light by the following police notice
published in Vienna today:
Countess Felicia Ma2ucheh, 10
years of age, brown hair, blue eyes,
black jacket black fur collar, miss
ing from home since January 10, oe-
leved to have committed suicide"
The young countess is the daughter
and granddaughter of distinguished
men. and is remarkable for
her personal beauty. Her father COM

After her fathers death her mother
married Captain Vom Carina, an Aus
trian officer, who four years ago was
to a long term of imprison- |
ment for selling military secrets to d
foreign power. Extravaganza in house
hold expenses was alleged to be the
cause of the crime.
The young countess brother was
forced to leave the army and relatives
avoided the family, who fell into dire
poverty.
The Countess Felicia declared last
Friday that she could bear the shame
no longer. She left home, having inI
her possession a bottle of morphine.
The police believe that she took theI
poison somewhere on the outskirts of
he city and that her body will be
found when the snow melts,
While America and Germany ex,

purposes.
