: Captain Kidd's Treasure Discov
ered Once More Freak White
Fawn Rorn at Zoo.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
New York, Sep. 5 With $50,
000,000 now being spent in the con
struction of new hotels, to be com
pleted in the near future, New Yorli
will within the next few months out
strip all other competitors for the
title of the greatest hotel city In the
world. By January first, it :s now
expected, there will be in operation
no less than 2,500 hotels capable of
accommodating nearly a third of a
million persons, and able to feed at
least 2,000,000 daily. As these fig
ures do not include boarding houses
or apartment and flat buildings, it is
probable that the total transient pop
illation which Father Knickerbocker
will be able to house by 1911 will
considerably exceed the million mark
Many causes have led to the remark-
able increase in hotel construction in
spite of the fact that on epper Broad
way there Is hardly a block which
does not contain at least one hotel
while many squares are given over to
them solidly. Of course there are
numerous hotels in other parts of the
city,, but for obvious reasons Broad
way has remained t:te hotel thor
oughfare. A walk along the three-
mile stretch between the old Astoi-
House, famous before the war, to
the new hotel which Charles Hector
of restaurant fame has nearly com
pleted at Forty-fourth street, reveals
n a striking manner the advances
which have been made in hotel con
struction during more than half a
century. Between the former, which
now Is the oldest hotel of any note in
the city, and the latter wjilen em-jofi-ies
all that has come through 50
years development, the successive
stages of advancement are clearly
marked not only in ever-increasing
size, but in all other details as we!!.
While this newest hotel is ay no
means the largest in the city, since
size has been made secondary to com
pleteness, it would easily make half
dozen of the old Astor House, while
point of service there could or
course be no comparison. Certainly
with all the hotel construction which
is now going on. New Yorr; will be
able to make a strong bid ror a : 9 1 a
world's fair, on the ground that this
city is far better equipped than any
other to care for vast throngs of visi
tors. Incidentally if matters keep on
as they are now going, It will not be
many years before hotel row will
stretch almost solidly up to Central
Park. At present It Is estimated that
the amount of money :nves:ec in ho
tels In this city is greaier t:ian ;:ie
national debt.
.... ;'.
After a lapse of more than a year,
New York's most famous practical
joker .who has achieved as much faint
in his field as has Chauncey Depew
as an after-dinner speaker, has again
limped into the limeligat and this
time at the expense of the city ad
ministration itself. Brian G. Hughe;
the name of the man who, popu-
arly known as "B. G." has takei
more advantage of the credulity oi
New Yorkers than any man living.
He it was who fed and groomed an
alley cut, sent It to the aristocratic
at. show and won a blue ribbon over
all sorts of blooded competitors.
Jkewise it was B. G. who brough the
roprietor of a famous restaurant al
most to tears by "accidentally find
ing" a set of false teeth In his soup.
Also It was his alleged blooded horse
Puldeka" which took a prize at a
local horse show, to the great conster
nation of other exhibitors. The ani
mal in question was a , street car
horse, its name indicating that it had
ulled a car. While all these ac
complishment of Mr. Hughes were
without financial profit, :ils latest
joke which has just come to light iias
netted him. the neat suu: or 2,G40.
Some, five years ago, aecon::ng -o Uu
evidence at hand, there were 'ten
rooms in one of the downtown court
buildings for which the city nad no
use. The sinking fund commission
was in a quandary as to what dispo
sition to make of the empty room
when it brighl-eed, tstimlltah in
with a bald head wandered Into one
of the meetings, explained that
'understood the building was a heavy
expense to the city and offered to
take the rooms off their nanus at a
monthly rental of $ 55. ' The commis
sloners almost fell on Mr., Hughes
neck when he paid the first month
rent. This week, however, one of
the commissioners discovered that
Mr. Hughes has been sub-:eu:ng i:ie
rooms In question at a monthly rental
of $99, leaving a net profit of $44
month for the last five years. As a
result the joke, of a most practical
nature, has cost the city $2,640. Mr
Hughes' lease will not be renewed.
Health, like about everything else,
is at. least twice as expensive in New
York as elsewhere. . For once In
way its expensi.veness, or which the
city is rather proud,-. Is! likely to re
act In a serious manner affecting the
safety of life Itself. As a result of
various suggestions It different states
to establish 4ome form or regulation
of physicians' fees, statistics bearing
on this subject have just neei- colleer
ed for the first time.; They illustrate
in an astonishing manner trie effect
on public health, so far as its care is
concerned, of the conditions which
make New York the most expensive
city to live in in the United Stales.
As a result of these conditions Fat:i
er Knickerbocker finds himself in the
position of being less-' able to attract
the most capable medical talent than
are smaller communities, since on the
authority of an eminent physician
$30,000 is not too high an estimate
of the expenditure necessary in this
modern Capua before the young coc
tor can be self-supporting. In the-
country, based on the statistics whlcti
have been collected com more than
000 doctors in every part of the
Union, the cost, including education,
will hardly average more than $13,
000. Moreover, the figures show that
while the practitioner who settles
here cannot expect to be self-support
ing much before he is 33' years old,
the young doctor in the smaller com
munity can do so several years ear
ner, wnne this subject has never
been brought to notice before, since
statistics have never been collected,
these figures would seem to indicate
that the doctors are - Justified in
charging more for their services here
man in otner places, oecause it costs
them more and takes longer to estab
lish a paying practice.'
This city has just been treated, for
what must be at least the hundredth
time, to the re-discovery of the treas
ure which Captain Kidd is supposed
to have- buried 'somewtteTB between
Florida and Newfouridlami. This
time it came to light in New York it
self, or rather in that part of the
greater city known as Staten Island.
Its discoverer, who settled there 25
years ago, has spent every Sunday
and holiday since h:s arrival from
Ireland In tramping trie island in
search of the treasure which he felt
certain had been buried there. In
pite of the ridicule of his neighbors
he has persisted in his hunt, and this
week his perseverance t.-;;s rewarded
by the discovery of a large chest
filled with what appeared to be gold
coins and ingots. His jubilation was
short-lived, however, for closer ex
am ination revealed the fact thai, the
coins were merely gilded pennies and
the ingots lumps of .brass, a "plant'
prepared by his neighbors wno had
grown tired of his search. So Cup-
tain Kidd's treasure still remains
safe in spite of the great number of
mes It has been discovered.
..
One of the strangest freaks of.na-
ure which has beeu seen In ihis
Ity for a long time is now attracting
large amount of attention at the
Bronx Zoo. This freak is a wlilte
fawn which was recently born there
and it is made doubly interesting be
cause of the fact that both Us ra;her
and mother are plain red deer wit.'.i
not so much as a single spot or wltiti
in their coats. Not only Is the young
ster pure white color, but he has also
white rings In his eyes, which give
him an uncanny appearance. He i'
source of endless interest to child
ren because of the frequent went ion
and wonderful doing of the while
deer in fairy tales. These aulmals
are extremely rare and the graau ma
jority of hunters are so superstitious
about them that they will not shoot
them, it being an almost wor'd-wide
belief that to do so brings bad luex.
