New York. Feb. How much does
II cost to travel around these United
Ststes-that is, to travel comfortably
and well and enjoy all the usual lux
uriss that go with modern railway
service and up-to-date hotels?
II is a question very. much discuss
ed in New York just now and all be-
cause the State has been asked to
pay a lump bill OF something more
than $4,000 for the expenses of Gov.
whitman and his party to the San
Francisco Exposition last summer.
There were forty people in the party
and they travelled on a special train.
consisting Of five compartment sleep
ers, a dining car and so forth.
To many people this seems like a
very extraysgsnt expenditure. Others
assert that il is no more per capita
than travelling men who have a lib
ersI expense account spend in the
ordinary course in their business
trips.
same Price for All.
Now there are just two fixed items
in travelling expenses. One is the
railroad fare and the other the Pull
man fee for either a berth, stateroom
or seat in a parlor, car. They are
Just the same for the millionaire as
for the most ImpecunIous drummer
Leaving those items out Of the ques-
tton, as they vary only according to
the length OF the journey. the only
sum In dispute is the amount paid
for food, drinks and tips.
As to food. a person can only eat about
50 much. no matter how big a hog he is,
and the limitations Of a railroad dining
car do not permit OF any very remark
able extravaganza in that direction.
When II comes to drinks and tips it's
another matter There is almost no limit.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
and there are lots of people who act like
fools on railway trains under the delu-
sion that il makes them important in the
ewes Of their feIlow-tTsvelers.

times every year for one OF the biggest

his average expenses were.
Eight Dollars "A Day for Tips.

gentleman can possibly go from New
York to San Francisco. exclusive OF COM
partment or draWing-rOom, for less than
an average of IS day. That has been
my average for the last three years and
my accounts have never been questioned.
In travelling across the continent, 1 usu-
ally tip the club car man s15 for a three
day trip, the barber S and the sleeping
porter 50. And it's worth it."
When on a train, he says. he averages
each day $3.50 for breakfast. SIS for
luncheon, $50 for dinner and s. for
drinks. The drink item seems out of all
proportion. as he is not considered to be
what is known as "a drinking man."
When stopping off in a city en- route
he averages daily $3.50 for his room. 81 20
for breakfast, $50 for lunch, $3.50 for
dinner. 50 for drinks and 81 for tips. Why
drinks cost him 81 a day more on a train
than in a hotel he did not explain. Per-
haps he has more time to drink.
These figures seem very high to me.
In the last six months. I have trav-
eled around the country a great deal
and my expenses were nowhere near
as high as that. 1 found that in the
best hotels a room with a bath did
not average over $3.50 a day. Any
man who eats a $3.50 luncheon would
have no appetite to do justice to a
$3.50 dinner.
This growing custom of squandering
money on food and dring was WILDLY
brought to my notice the other day
when l was asked to take lunch with
well-to-do Wall Street man at the
Knickerbocker. His ether guests
were a cotton manufacturer and a
hotel manager. 1t was absolutely in
formal. as we had met by accident in
the lobby. 1t was not a celebration
or an affair.
The lunch consisted OF cavair (at s17
CAM, stewed terrapin and cham
pagne. 1t was a vintage wine, and
! heard our host tell the head waiter
that soon as a bottle was empty
to open a fresh one. l noticed, also,
that the waiter did not wait until the
bottle was empty before doing that
Naturally. l was interested to learn
how much all this set my host back.
AS ] sat next to him 1 saw the check
1t was for $50. He gave the head
waiter a tip of ten dollars and the
other two men who waited on US five
dollars each. On going out, he gave
the hat boy dollar tip.

And people have been complaining
about card times and the high cost of
living. That luncheon was only a
straw. but it Showed which way the
Wan Street wind is blowing.
Mr.. Dan" Reid has presented a
l,50O pound bell to a church in Tar
rytown with the stipulation that 1t be
tolled three times daily. That's going
to be pretty tough on Tarrytown. It
is only a small place and there is lit
tie chance Of their being able to scare
up three funerals a day there. What
are they going to do if they run out
of corpses? Kill off people so as to
keep that bell? 1t looks as though
Mr.. Reids philanthropy had an insid-
ious incentive. What's his grudge
against Tarrytown anyway?
