The automobile is ceasing to be
merely an emblem Of wealth, actual or
pretended. 1t is becoming thing of
interest to quiet and steady men of
moderate means, to whom 1t Is begin
ming to appeal strongly as offering
those possibilities for combination of
use and pleasure by which alone can
any device become a permanent and
widespread institution. This appeal Ia
particularly strong to men whose busl-
ness imposes certain amount Of daily
travel. Hence the medical profession
is naturally the first to use the motor
car at all generally In Its work. And
there Is another and a vastly larger
class which it is beginning to interest,
or rather two such classes. These are
the prosperous but not wealthy men of
the smaller cities who keep horses and
buggies, and the legion Of suburban
jewellers Of the great cities. The lat
ter see in the automobile a chance of
escape from the monotony of living by
a time table In their goings and COM
will be especially interested in the fig
ures compiled by H. A. Grant In the
Circle Magazine as to the relative cost
Of keeping a horse and carriage and
a motor. These figures have the merit
that they are made with an eye single
to the man who can and does keep one
horse and a runabout or surrey. Mr..
Grant, who 10 a mechanical engineer,
finds that a motor car costing $1,000 or
less should give, in the hands Of a care
with a depreciation Of about $500
year. On the other hand, a good light
harness horse and trap, costing about
$500, will last as to the horse, barring
accidents and with care, about twelve
years, during which time about three
carriages will be used up Taking in
the harness item as well, the deprecia-
ton is about $85 a year. On an av-
erage daily run Of thirty miles. which
Is about the limit for the horse, and
fuel for machine, repairs for both car
riages. etc, maintenance figures out
little over $500 year for the horse
and about $50 year for the machine.
In neither case Is stabling or storage
included, as these may be assumed to
offset each other. Nor Is there any
allowance for a chauffeur's wages, as
1t Is assumed that the owner will be
his own driver In each case. Cost Of
other attendance is also assumed to
be about equal. The conclusion Of Mr.. |
Grant Is that the average cost per year
Is about 1886 for automobile, as against
1852 for the horse 1t may also be
noted that no account Ia taken of in
terest on the invested capital, which |
would appear to average about 81 800
for the motor, as against $500 for the
horse for half the time. or six years.
At per cent this would increase the
annual cost to about 1929 for the motor,
as against 1857 for the horse. On the
other hand, the motor has the advan-
tage that 1t eats only while it is work
ing. So that the question finally re-
solves itself into whether the owner
can find work enough for the machine
of some sort of value to him
to justify an annual cost nearly double
that Of the horse.

For years the young workingman go
ing to New York from the country was
at the mercy of INSCRIPTIONS boarding
house keepers. 1t was impossible to
get a decent room and nourlshing food
at any price which the man could af-
ford to pay, II he wished to live In a
respectable district. Ten years ago a
hotel was opened on the west side of
the city, with 1900 rooms intended for
such men. The rooms were clean and
airy, and the food supplied was whole
some and low-prlced. The hotel was
filled at once. After 1t had been in
operation year or two, 1t became evil
dent that the investment was profit
able. The patron Of the hotel need
not feel that he was in any way a re-
cipient Of charity. Then another small
er hotel was built on the same plan on
the East Side, and its history was the
same as the first. On Oct 10 a third
and larger hotel, known as Mills Hotel
No. 8, was opened uptown In West Goth
street, to be conducted on the same
plan. 1t contains 1878 rooms, open to
respectable men. One hundred of them
rent for 40 cents night, and the 9TH
ers for 80 cents each. Within four or
five blocks is another hotel In sight
from this, in which a traveller will have
to pay 81 a night for room little
larger and no lighter or cleaner. These
hotels are for men alone. Other phi
lanthropists In New York and In other
cities have built model apartment
houses for men with families and con-
duct them on the theory that a work
ingman ought to have as much light
and air and comfort as the most INTEL
ligent investment of money can procure
for him. They hold the idea that the
investor is entitled only to a reasonable
income from his money, not to as much
as he can squeeze from the rent-payers.
The result is that the apartment houses
are always filed with good-paylng ten
