1875 Very few people even those who live in them have any idea of the con- struction cost or methods of ing the great hotels of the great cities Would it be of any interest to readers to know about these I think so and shall the most of this letter to a statement ot them To begin with the hotel must to make it what it should an en- tire block or the greater part of it This is necessary to get ventilation and and light And even the four streets are not sufficient for in it has to have a court in the centre Such a hotel will have from six hundred to one thousand rooms in it the number depending upon the patronage desired If transient custom is what is sought the rooms are smaller for you can tuck a single roan away anywhere but if families and permanent boarders are wanted tbe rooms must be large and airy and have bath rooms etc con- with them Steam is always used for heating the halls and public rooms and all the rooms must have grates in them A boiler that generates power is none too large for ia addition to the heat required power is to run an elevator and to do the work in the kitchen and laundry The means of communication be- tween the rooms and the office is the telegraph Wires run from each room to the office and all the guest has to do is to touch a little knob and a will be at his door in two minutes to execute his orders Some hotels have a code of signals for the most common wants so that the order is given by Thus one short pressure means two fire three chambermaid one long and two short breakfast and so on Now about the cost of all these con- The breakfast dinner and tea service cost the chairs in the dining room alone cost the morocco lambrequins in the parlors cost each cornice and each window in the dining room cost the mirrors alone in the bail cost tbe ia tbe cost nearly These are a tew of the most portant beginners as it were to introduce you to the gorgeous figures of the tilings that cost When you want to build a hotel in New York vou want to pay for the ground on which it stands to put into the building and nearly as much more to furnish it Think of the acres of at to per yard think of tbe thousands of chairs sofas think of mountains of bed linen and toweling think of the great mass of crockery and and tbe cost of ishing a great hotel mounts up The depreciation in value of the furniture of one of these amounts to per year the one item of broken glasses footing up A most perfect system necessarily obtains The steward by long tice know exactly how much to buy and what and the proportions The room clerks inform him in the morning how many people arc in the house and he knows the number of oysters that number will require the number of the amount of each kind of meat and all about it The bead cook takes his order and the breakfast is prepared So accurate is this law of averages that very little is Out of one hundred people know that so many will want baked potatoes so many boiled so stewed and so main fried and t bey a re never out or the way One of lure taken at random an- 11 separate divisions or classes of edibles i t- soups fish boiled roast cold dishes removes en- trees game vegetables pastry and confectionery and deserts There are separate articles bracing 3 soups 3 kinds of fish 5 of boiled 5 of roast 7 varieties of salad pale de foie gras with 2 removes 0 entrees grouse and duck 14 kinds of vegetables 7 varieties of pastry Arc 11 articles un- der the head of dessert And all this based upon the steward's calculation It was all consumed and there was just enough The force necessary to run one of these Hotels be staled as Four three room clerks three package and key clerks eight one engineer thirteen men one head cook 12 assistant cooks 70 waiters So chambermaids 45 laundry women 35 30 hall men 13 porters two carpenters one locksmith and so on ID all 220 men ami 150 women are employed in the footing up from to per month Of course the discipline is rigid Every person must be on duty exactly on time and every one of them is to do his or her duty silently wear noiseless shoes and never speak unless they are spoken to A com plaint from a guest is equivalent to a discharge The of provisions for one of these hotels in round mi in- to per day One hotel in New uses up per day in pumpkin pi s alone iu the season OF course the hotel proprietors in good times make money for while the expenses are enormous tbe receipts ate large If tne house is full the receipts ought to run very close to 4.500 per day for board alone but it does not stop there You for your own fires at the rate of per fire and then there arc the in- numerable extras vou have a meal brought to your room it is and if you are inclined it costs to indulge The you pay twenty-five cents for at the bar of your hotel and so on for all er drinks and the same may be said of cigars A big source of revenue is leges The man who blacks your boots pays roundly for the room he and so does the umbrella stand and the barber shop All these things are necessary to the house but they are extras and the proprietors don't give men the privilege of ing the public for nothing Take it all in all the hotel tor has a rery soft thing of it I should like to own a large hotel self BEECHER ASIA The Brooklyn trial pours out over the country its regular quantity of swash each day but vrhat it is all about heaven only knows At the be- ginning Beecher was on trial for the seduction of Mrs Tilton and the ation of that lady from her husband But somehow all this has changed It would seem now that the tables are turned and that Tilton is on trial for of offences They brought the President of a Lecture Committee from Winsted Conn to prove that he was too familiar with a young lady he had taken with him and another man from Bloomington Md to swear that he uttered rather too liberal ments in a lecture there and they have dragged in almost everybody to show that somewhere he has done almost everything that is foolish and bad Now what all this has to do with the question at issue at the beginning of the struggle is more than I can see Suppose Tilton is a gay pose the Winsted accusation is well founded and all the other accusations as he is the wickedest man in New York or anywhere else what has all that to do with what he has charged Beecher Is Beecher on trial or That's the tion Nothing new against Tilton has been developed this week The court room has been crowded as usual and the public interest does not seem to ish but the trial has for all that be- come fearfully stale and everybody wishes it well over Both Beecher and Tilton show the effects of it Beecher is feeling haggard and the younger man shows wear and care about the same Old Mrs Beecher bears up un- der it better than of them She has not got on the ragged edge of de- spair quite as much as her husband BUSINESS is improving rapidly I took a turn among the jobbers to-day and found them much more chirpy than they were a month ago The retailers from the country are in in force and they are buying with considerable freedom Tbe old stocks are consumed the country is bare of goods the people have worn out and ana they are to lay iu fresh supplies Consequently the wheels are grinding again and the merchants rejoice Everybody pates a big spring trade a good mer trade and a very large fall trade And I see no reason why these ful anticipations should not be realized BY TELEGRAPH PITTSBURGH j room was in 1369 and the first in 1868 la the summer at the latter time my impression is that Mrs Triton was ab- seat from borne I was

Interest Con- Her Narration and Makes Some Corrections NEW YoRk March Turner's testimony of Friday last red up the idle the curious and the prurient to such a degree that this morning there was the greatest crowd that has yet besieged the doors of the court room That part of the court room assigned for auditors was packed After court opened Bessie Turner resumed the stand and her tion was continued by ex Judge ter first corrected her given and stated that Tilton's first visit to her room was in and the period when Tilton ried her to his room in 1869 WHILE IV I received several letters from Tilton Witness was several letters which she identified as having been sent to her by Tilton Mr Porter read one of the letters from Tilton chiding her for not taking was signed Yours as ever THEO TILTON Another letter dated Brooklyn Octo- ber 4 1870 informed Bessie the house looked since her absence The witness Mr and Mrs Tilton sent me to a boarding school Tilton first told roe of his wife's and his intention to do so one Sunday after- noon Tilton spoke to me about but nothing was ever said about my going in connection with the stories against Beecher a letter dated January 10.1871 J This letter is in mv handwriting was ted to me by Tilton I think Mrs Tilton was then at home He was talking about Mrs Morse and I told him she had endeavored to hire me to go round to Beecher and tell him of this story which I refused to do Tilton asked rue to copy this off and put my name to it which I did Porter then read the letter written to Mrs Tilton dated 10 1871 which informed her that Mrs Morse had endeavored to procure her to circulate injurious stories about her husband letter dated January 12 was read ing the story of Tifton carrying her i from her bed which was a wicked lie Tbe witness I wrote this second note at the urgent solicitation of Mrs tell some five persons that Tilton tried to violate my person TUE As tbe first sound of the question was heard everybody bent forward eye descended upon tbe ness The witness replied to the tions of Mr Fullerton as I went to live with them in July or August 1864 left them times and came back again it was in the spring the first time Tilton visited my bed room and the second occasion was in the summer I think Mrs Tilton was at first time ed I am not sure but think this is mv I did write a letter from Tarrytown to Mrs Tilton examining the letter the ness closed it and les is Mr Fullerton read the letter ad- dressed to Tikon In this tbe writer spoke of tbe pretty walks in hood of the church and not caring so much about the preaching as about Beecher Tbe letter was signed sie Turner The witness After my return from Mr Dows in the summer of I went to Tilton's Tilton came to my room Mrs Dows paid me my wages be fore I left finally the witness was asked if this was Mrs Dows returned from California and after a nause she said Mr part of the house I do cot remember wiere the children slept at that time I was there and Tilton came in to bid me good night and he stroked my hair and remarked how soft it he put his hand on I ed it and he said Why Beasie darling how modest you He said people in the best classes of society generally gare such caresses that even ters gave them I told him I did not care what people in the did he talked to me about marriage and affinities and asked me to allow him to love and caress me and no harm should happen to me I thought this conversation on his part strange I was then about 17 years of age I was not shocked I studied oTer his language as I did not know what he meant I was angry when he put his band on nay neck I had up to this time been much attached to Mrs ton but do not think I told then of that occurrence I remember him dis- saying Why Bessie dear how painfully modest you not what he meant affinities and cal expressions of love In the summer of 74 I was on a visit to friends in Pa and came on to lyn in August while here I went be- fore the church committee and fied before them I spoke to them of tke two occasions on which Tilton my room the question was put to ine did Theodore Tilton ever attempt your ruin and I answered Yes he did on two I think I told the committee that Mrs Tilton was at Monticello on one of those occasions I do not remember saying Mrs Tilton was at Schoharie I now know she was at Monticello and I must have been mistaken when I told the committee this was in 1870 I was mistaken in saying before the com- that on the first occasion when I was carried into his room I woke in bis arms I was also mistaken when I said that the two events occurred together I said to them I thought Mrs Tilton was at Schoharie on one of these occasions I was in Steubenville from until I returned to Brooklyn in I only knew of my going before the committee about ten minutes be- fore it occurred I talked with General Tracy before I went there on the ond night after I arrived in the city I went before the committee my father left me at Hailiday's and he took me up to Mrs it was the ing I went up there and that evening I appeared before the committee I saw Mrs Tilton there and during my stay the object of my appearing before the committee Tracy called I did not talk of the currence at and Hailiday's until Tracy called the committee met at 8 and Tracy called between 7 and 8 o'clock I am sure I did not talk with him two hours I not remember who went with me before the com- I talked over the subject with a great many parties afterwards I found afterwards on looking over tbe evidence given by me om that occasion that I had made some mistakes in roy I was at whon I made this Mrs Morse was also there but I did not talk over the matter with ber or as to tbe testimony given by me when I made the ery it was after tbe reflection I cpst over the testimony in my own mind when tbe mistakes were discovered me there was a book of testimony given me bv Mr Shearman but I er looked at it I discovered seme of uy discrepancies through talking wuh Mitchell who was at Mrs Hill s Dr Carey Mr Hill and Mrs Michel were present then but I bad disco i my mistakes before that time v were not subject of conversati talking with Mrs several little tilings were called to my mind which I bad not recollected befo e I do not think I told before tbe Com- about Tilton stroking my hair and forehead nor about bis putting his hand ou my neck Mr Fullerton read the remainder of that testimony which the witness said was not told to the Committee as it was forgotten at the time Witness I had not thought anything abont this sation ten minutes before I went before committee I never forgot this this BOOT AT THE WHOLESALE AND SHOE HOUSE OF 253 LIBERTY STREET tne the attention of tne Trade of another spring we announce the
