Big HOSTELRIES
SELL PRIVILEGE
Big New York Hotels Enjoy Maenifi-
cent Incomes From The Tippings
of Their Customers.

New York, Aug 29.-It was said of
the late Edward S. Stokes that he re-
quired all the tips given his hotel
employees to be turned over to him,
and no employee was allowed to leave
the house until he had emptied his
pockets. New York city hotels of to-
day now accomplish much the same
thing by a different process. They
sell out the tipping privileges at so
much a month or year to trusted en-
ployes. Courtroom privileges in the
larger hotels sell from $4,000 to S10,-
600 per annum, and one hotel is al
legged to have received as high as $780,
900 for it's combined privileges, let to
tip collectors. Notwithstanding the
high prices paid, the men owning tip
stands gathered in more than 100000
| from generous visitors.
Take a large hotel, entertaining on
| ly the wealthiest persons. Vehicles
| arrive at at least two sides of it. At
each entrance stands the man who
helps persons out and calls their We
hicles when wanted. He has a corps
of assistants. The lowest price paid
the hotel proprietors for the door
privileges in New York is rs a month,
or 5000 a year, for medium sized
hotels. The highest price paid is
$4,000 a year.
1t is the courtroom privileges for
which the hotel proprietor receives
one of the highest rentals. There is
a story that when the palm room OF
one of the big hotels was opened as a
novelty several years ago the tip rev
enue of the hotel averaged $4,000
for two years from checking hats and
other garments alone. The very large
price of $4,000 a year was said tc
have been paid by the owner of the
tip taking privilege for checking gar
ments alone.
With scarcely an exception all head
porters of hotels have retired wealthy
from tips. which they take from al
the under porters. No matter who
gets the money thestip goes to the
head porter When a patron on de
parture seeks out the head porter ant
hands him a bill of from 81 to $40 h'

also pays the porter who handles his
trunks a quarter or half dollar, and
this ultimately gets into the head por-
ter's pocket.
Dining room tip privileges are abso-
lutely in the hands of the head wait
ers, who, while not taking all the
gratuities received by walters, receive
a liberal share.
The bell boy privileges is also drift
ing into the hands of one man, al
though this system is not yet general.
Even the elevator men in many big
hotels are now syndicated by one tip
taker.
Tips received in big hotels range
from s1OO, 900 to $685. a year-tidy
sums to be divided up among several
men owning the privileges to collect
them. In other words, round sum
which cannot be estimated, but which
must run into millions, represents
the annual incomes of syndicated tip
takers in New York.

BETTER THAN GOLD.

(By Father Ryan,
Better than grandeur, better than
gold,
Than rank the duties a thousandfold,
Is a healthy body and a mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always
please.
A heart that can always feel for an
others woe,
With sympathies large enough to en-
All men as brothers, is better than
gold.
Better than gold is conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in an hum
BILE sphere;
Doubly blessed with content and
wealth,
Untried with the lusts and cares of
wealth;
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and ennoble a poor mans cot;
For mind and morals in natures plan
Are the genuine tests of gentleman.
Better than gold is sweet repose
OF the sons of toll when the labors
close. ~ yFgRaI
Better than gold is the poor mans
sleep
And the balm that drops on his slum'
bers deep
Brings sleep draughts on the downy
Where luxury pillows its aching head
The toiler simple opiate deems
A shorter route to the land of dreams
Better than gold is thinking mint
That in the realms of books can fine
A treasure surprising Australian ore
And live with the great and good o.
yore.
The savage's lore and the poets lay
The glories of empires pass away;
The worlds great dream will thus un
fold
And Weld a pleasure better than gold
Better than gold is a peaceful home
Where all the fireside character
come
The shrine of love, the heaven of life
Hallowd by mother, or sister, or wife
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heavens dc
cree,
The blessings that never were bough
or sold,
And center there are better than golt

DR.. CLARK
WILL RUN
THEATRE

Harvey Brooks has sold his State
street theater to DIR. ]. T. Clark, who
will run the place himself in the future.
DIR. Clark will put in a new moving pic
ture machine and will make number
of other improvements.
In the meantime Brooks has entered
into an agreement with Lessee James
Wingfeld by which he will put a
vaudeville performance on at the Towle
Opera House during the summer, and
If it pays he will open the house for
vaudeville during the winter on dates
when other shows are not booked.
Brooks begins his summer vaude-
VILE on July IL and will have shows
every night during the summer, ex-
cepting two weeks when the theater is
to be remodeled.
Brooks has had a great deal of ex-
perience in the vaudeville business, and
it is said that he is able to get hold OF
the best attractions. Summer vaude-
willie was tried in Hammond last year
when Cloyd Heron took hold of the
Towle Opera House, but he could not
make 1t a go.
However, his failure is laid to lack
of business methods. and ii is expected
that in the hands of man who knows
the business that vaudeville can be
made to pay.
