effts. 1t should be a place where young
men and young women would be en-
couraged in healthy, manly and wom-
anly, unhurtful recreationS and amuse-
ments. There should be no dissipation
connected with il. It's influences should
be the best and no man or woman
should have occasion to apologize for
any of its environments or accessories.
Various sites have been suggested,
some east, some west, some north and
some south. I think the question of
site should not be decided upon until
we first are secure in establishing the
club My own inclinations in the mat
ter at the present time are that an ideal
spot for this club would be Martins
Hill. Here is a body of one hundred
acres. So much thereof as may be nee
essary 1 believe could be secured on a
long lease at low rate of interest.
Bradbury Hill, over near Quinton
Heights, has been spoken of. Calhoun
bluffs, a charming spot four or five
miles northeast, is another place. A
location opposite Martins Hill on the
north side of the Kansas river. The
Stone mansion west of Washburn coll
lege has been talked of, but, 1 said,
the site question is not the essential one
now.
Gentlemen, I await the pleasure of
the meeting"
After some discussion it was decided
to appoint a committee to gather the
constitution and bylaws of other sue
cessful country clubs, to formulate
plan or membership and suggest the
fees and dues, to ascertain who are will
ling to join and foster such club and
to have all matters in charge for the
time being. This committee to be a
temporary one only, to get things
started.
The chairman, upon a motion, ap-
pointed on this committee Archie F.
Williams, Bennett r. Wheeler, Frank
G. Willard, w. F. Evans, Theodore
Hammatt. Terrence Ewart and Frank
P. MacLennan.
The meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman
The temporary committee decided to
hold its first meeting at once and ac-
cordingly proceeded to organize by the
election of Frank Willard, chairman
and Terrence Ewart, secretary. A list
of names was prepared, embracing
those who would probably be likely tn
join the Country Club. Three hundred
names were compiled and arrangements
made for about ten of those interested
to see the people on these lists, to as
certain additional names and to report
at an early meeting of the committee
and later to general meeting. 1t was
thought best that probably the initia-
ton fee should be fixed at $40, to be
paid in four instaIlments at IS each 30
days apart.
The committee adjourned to meet at
8 o'clock Saturday afternoon.

IRVING TO COME OVER.
Sir Henry Will Give America Twenty
Weeks Next Season.

New York, Jan. 26.-The Herald says:
Sir Henry Irving is now in active ne
gotiations by mail and cable with sew
era1 American managers, looking to the
completion of his plans for the tour OF
America, which he will make next sea-
son. He has personally communicated
to them the ideas he has in mind for the
trip and Bran Stoker will probably ar
rive here shortly to effect all the final
arrangements.
It is Sir Henry's present intention to
produce ''Robespierre," his new SardOu
play, at the Lyceum in London at Eas-
ter, and his engagement there will last
until well into the summer. At it's term
ination and after a short rest he will
sail for America early in October. His
stay in America will be limited to 20
weeks and in that time it is his wish to
visit all the principal cities. He is par
ticularly anxious to play again in San
Francisco, where his previous engage
ment several years ago was remarkably
successful in every way.
''RObeSpierre' he has decided upon
as the feature of his repertory during
his American tour, but he will also pre-
sent several of the pieces that proved
popular favorites on his other visits
here.
Sir Henry has found considera BILE diff
Guilty in arranging his tour just as he
wishes it on account of the small
amount of open time" at the principal
theaters throughout the country. This
is due in a large measure to the unusual
number of successful plays brought out
in this city this season, all of which are
already booked for long engagements
in the best theaters in other cities just
at the time Sir Henry proposes to visit
them.
Several managers are confident, how
ever, that they can arrange matters sat
isfactorily and have informed Sir Henry
that they will be pleased to undertake

Two of the other directors of the Lake
Erie and Western said that they knew
nothing of any movement for transferring
control of the road. although the activity
in the stock might indicate that an at
tempt by certain interests was being made
to purchase the controlling interest. Only
one meeting of the directors had been
held since the death of President Brice,
and al that meeting the subject of a sale
of the road was not discussed nor even
mentioned

THERE Will BE NO ROAD.
Plan to Open One on the North Side
of the Fair Grounds Defeated.

The county commissioners today re-
jected the petition to have a road open
ed along the north side of the fair
grounds between the Douthitt tract and
the fair grounds.
The proceedings had reached a point
where the board was ready to act. 1t
was supposed that there would be no
opposition to the projected road because
one is very much needed but it was
discovered that part of the property
touched is in the city and that put an
end to the proceedings.
The tract of land which is responsible
for the defeat of the road is four acres
at the northwest corner of the fair
fair grounds known as the Swift & Hol-
liday tract. Why it was taken into the
city and the surrounding territory was
not is one of the queer things that some
times happen.

A CONSOLIDATION CRAZE
Has Seized Upon the Country, Says
the Iron Age.


New York, Jan. 26.-The Iron Age in
its weekly trade review today says: A
perfect craze is developing for consol-
idation aided largely by the eagerness of
bankers to promote such undertakings
They seem to be outbidding one another
and encourage the disposition to put
fancy valuations on moribund proper
ties Active work is going on in the
cast-1ron industry. In the Soil-p1pe
branch there has been movement for
some time but it has been progressing
so slowly that some of the concerns are
growing impatient A good deal OF
work has been done under the leader
ship of Clifford Ladd toward a fusion of
the bridge plants of the country. The
car builders have had their meetings
ana the sheet mills have been in con-
ference over plan to consolidate.
The most interesting developments
during the week, however, have been in
connection with the tin plate industry
The same parties who carried through
the consolidation in this industry are
reported to have perfected now fusion
of the leading makers in the central
west of the plate bars, five great plants
being named, situated at Youngstown,
Newcastle, Columbus and wheeling 1t
is reported that arrangements have
been made with one great works in
PittSburg and another in the Wheeling
district to secure exclusive control Of
this branch or raw material IN otnef
words outside mills are to find it diff
cult to obtain the needed tin plate bars.
Another important step in the same
direction is the completion OF arrange
ments with foundries and machine
shops which make a speciality of tin
plate machinery to control their capital
city for a considerable period. the
effort evidently is to keep out a rush OF
outside capital into business
From all quarters come buoyant re
ports concerning the volume of business
and the strength of the markets. In pig
iron the demand is active and what iron
is offered is readily snapped up without
much quarreling as to prices. There
have been some large lots sold for eX-
port for delivery during the second half
of the year, the aggregate being con-
siderably above $4,000 tons.
The billet market has been very ami
mated. Eastern buyers have purchased
considerable quantities in the central
west.
In the steel rail trade Pittsburg re-
ports the sale of one block of 10000 tons
while a moderate business has been
done by other mills. A considerable ton
mage has been actually placed.
Sales have been very active in bars
and in car material of all kinds. Among
the transactions reported is a lot of
10000 tons for steel cars, to cover the
material for some large contracts re-
Gently taken.
Foreign inquiries for all kinds of ma
terial continue numerous and in some
cases are pressing, thus showing that
the advance has not frightened buyers
off.

for the bauble, so she drove to the jew
