To what an extent New York has
become a city Of hotel dwellers was
instanced this week by the statement
of a department store head of long
experience that the total amount Of
buying done by the 2,50e establish
ments catering to public wants in
Manhattan was far greater than the
combined purchases of the occupants
OF individual homes, although the ma
Jority Of the latter are persons or far
more than average incomes. In view
of the fact that the number of great
hotels is multiplying with each sea-
son while the number of private houses
l. actually falling off, this assertion
is not so Incredible as it appears 1T
first glance, especially in view of the
fact that each of the larger hotels,
buying for a clientele of many hun
creds of persons daily makes puv-
Chases a thousand fold greater than
those OF the individual family. For
Instance, in the new Hotel Rector now
approaching completion on Broadway,
at Times square, something like half
million dollars has been spent in
providing furnishings needed for set
ting up housekeeping on the elaborate
scale contemplated by its proprietor.
The Rector, though one of the most
complete and most elaborate. Is by no
means one of the largest of the city's
hotels, but this amount would be suf-
hcient to start thousand newly
ced couples going, allowing $500 for
each pair. Incidentally the same de,
partment store authority explained as
one of the reasons for this change
which is leading more and more New
Workers to give up private homes in
favor of hotel life the fact that the
hotel buyer, dealing in vast quaint
ties, is able to do much better than
the individual purchaser and so is in
position to secure for his patrons
more for their money than they could
obtain themselves.

Platforms used by arriving and depart
ing passengers have been greatly ex
tended and some trains have to ne
unloaded several blocks from the
street entrance to the station. To

the fact that this church Is a part of
the Holy Catholic Church. 4 majority Of
the committee 10 whom the matter was
referred reported that II was considered
ineXpedient 10 offer the matter TO

many eloquent clergy and lay deputies
who supported the minority report, IA

rites and ceremonies of the Holy Catho-

portion thereof, known as the Episcopal
