Bell-Boys' Perquisites.

New York Sun. i The Qian who thinks that the meek and lowly bell-boys who frequent uptown hotels are as poor as their station in life would indicate h much mistaken. “We don’t starve by no means," sa d one of them at the Gll sey house yesterday. “We get s‘22 a month with a place to sleep, and plenty to eat. Most of us pick up from $3 to $5 a day in fee?, and so this ain’t such a bad business after all. There’s lots of bell-boys at the Hoffman and Windsor that make |l5O a month, and many of them are married, having families to support. I know a bell-boy at the Hoffman house who can write his check any day for $2,000.
