CAFES MEET UNTIMELY DEATH

New Yorkers Abandon Their Plans for Many New Palatial Hot Bird and Cold Bottle Places. New York.—There has been an alarming death rate In the plans tor new restaurants In Broadway’s lobster palace belt. This is ascribed not so much to the decrease in New York's yearning for the flesh pots as to its Indifference to new resorts. The lease for the new Case Napoleon, adjoining the Globe theater, for which foundations Were laid, was sold and the building will be devoted to other purposes. The enormous Studebaker building at Forty-ninth and Broadway, which was to be rebuilt Into a great hotel and restaurant tor the Beaux Arts. Is on the market as « lease. The Brewster block, from Forty-sev-enth to Forty-eighth street on Broadway, which was reported sold to a Milwaukee syndicate, and on which an immense restaurant and stadium was to be put. is offered again for business purposes. The ground lease of the Albany flats, on Fifty-first and Broadway, which John Murray planned to use for a new eating place, has been sold and will be turned over to commercial uses. Shanley's famous old home on the east side of Broadway, above Fortysecond street, has been closed, and finally the noted resort es Burns in Sixth avuiue and Forty-fourth street went Into a receiver's hands. This list, with the failure of the costly Case de I'Opera, completes a table of heavy casualties among the members of the hot-bird-and-cold-bottle set Meantime the dairy lunches are flourishing.
