Salt Lake City, Dec. Especial dis

WORk|AGMEN'S CLUB
Pretentious Building Being Erected
in New York City.
The Finest Structure of Its Kind in
This Country - All the COM
forts of a Rich Mans
Clubhouse.

The construction of $4,000 club
house for workingmen in New York
points to the trend of the times. 1t
is no longer to be all work and no
play for the poor, or at least the
working classes.
Labor unions in various parts of the
country are building structures in
which to locate their Offices, and in
some Of the smaller cities they have
constructed neat, though comparative
ly inexpensive elubhouses, but none
will equal in point of magnificence of
structure or furnishing the one now
being built in New York city. In many
ways it will rival the clubs of the
rich, and will contain much the same
accommodations.
The plans for this structure call fol-
a building five stories high, every
floor of which will be devoted to the
pleasure, comfort, physical and intel
lectual Improvement of the working
classes comprised in the clubs mem
bership.
The Workingmen's Educational and
Home association are the builders
1t was organized in 1896 and now has
a membership of 1,400. The old home
of the association of East Eighty
sixth street long ago became too small
to accommodate the large and growing
membership, and it was proposed to
build a new structure. To secure the
means entertainments were given,
small assessments made upon the
members from time to time, until suf-
f1cient funds were in the treasury to
buy the ground for the new structure.
a lot 100 by 102 feet in East Eighty
fourth street. Now that the ground is
paid for the club feels able to go ahead
with the building, and it will be
pushed to early completion.
A portion of the first floor of the
new building will be devoted to a
model gymnasium. This will be 60
feet long, 40 feet wide and "a feet
high. 1t will be equipped with all
sorts of approved gymnastic appli-
ances, and around it will be running
track. The membership Of the club
are enthusiastic over the gymnasium
feature.
Another feature of the building
which promises to be popular is the
class rooms, lecture room and library.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1903-12-03

The working classes of New York I'M
prove every opportunity offered them
for study, and this the association
propose to give in the largest degree
possible. To do this there will be in
augurated as soon as the building is
completed a regular course of lectures,
debates and special courses of study
for the members.
A large ballroom, 60 by 62 feet in
area, will be arranged, with q stage
for theatrical entertainments and mu-
sicales. This room has gallery, and
will provide seating capacity for 1000
people.
On the first floor there will be bar
and cafe, with reading and billiard
room. The second floor will be de-
voted to the library and class rooms.
The third floor will be divided into
many small meeting rooms, and the
fourth floor will be devoted largely to
the use of women members. On this
floor will be large dining hall and
q parlor. The ballroom will be on the
fifth floor.
The building is to be freproof. The
first two stories will be of granite and
the remainder of brick. with terra
Gotta trimmings and holdings and
cornices of ornamental metal work.
Provision is made for both gas and
electric lighting, and two electrically
equipped elevators will carry passen-
gers. The building will be finished in
hardwood throughout.

DESPERADOES AREARRAIGNED
All But One Plead Not Guilty to
s
Murder Charge.
Speedy Trial Arranged for the Ex-
ceptiOn, Marx-AnOther
Victim Dies.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-Peter Niedermeier,
Harvey Van Dine, Gustav Marx and
Emil Roeski were arraigned before JUS
tice Kersten Monday afternoon, two
hours after the murder indictments,
voted against them by the grand jury
Saturday, had been returned in court.
Niedermeier, Van Dine and Roeski
pleaded not guilty. Insanity, it is be-
lieved, will be their defense. Marx
pleaded guilty.
Justice will be dealt out speedily to
them. The plans for the trials of the
car barn bandits have been arranged by
the states attorney.
Marx will be placed on trial this
week, probably in day or two, and the
other defendants, will be taken into
court in the next term, which begins
Monday. Each murder case will have
to be tried separately.
The plea of guilty and the confession

has come before the racing public
strongly since 1902, and this is the sec
ond time he has defeated Grant, the
first time being in a handicap two-mile
run.
During the fall months, when foot
ball occupies the attention of nearly
every lover of sport throughout tho
land, the universities and the eastern
A. A. u. clubs prepare for the healthi-
est of all outdoor sports, cross-coun-
try running. England and Ireland are
the homes of the cross-country runner
From the day that an English and
Irish school boy is capable of running.
he takes to cross-country running as
duck does to water. Outdoor life
among the English people is looked
upon as necessity, and to this fact
alone may be attributed the success of
the English distance runners. There
are really but two races in the United
States that can be called cross-coun-
try runs, the taking of fences, water
jumps, liverpools, and hedges during
the course of the race. One contest,
known as the A. A. U. cross-country
run, won by Joyce, is held yearly over
the Morris park course. The second
cross-country run is that held under
the auspices Of the Eastern Intercol-
legiate Athletic association over the
Morris park course, Thanksgiving day.
The distance is the same as that con-
tested in the A. A. U. race and is about
seven miles long. Throughout the
eastern part of the country a number
OF races are held annually which are
given the name of cross-country races,
but in reality they are nothing more
than road races, and should be classed
with track events; though the roaTts
are not always as good as traces, yet
| the majority are.

Testing HIS Nerve.

District Attorney Haymaker, of
Pittsburg, had scare that he will re-
member for sometime. He had been
calling on friends and on his way home
walked down a railroad track for some
distance. Hearing train approaching
he remembered that in days gone by
he and his boy companions used to try
to walk down track and let train
pass them-without turning around. By
way of testing his nerve he kept on
walking until the strain became terri
BILE. Perspiration-poured down his face
and at length he could no longer resist
looking back It was well he did so,
for the train was on the same track
with him, something that had never oe-
CURED to him as possible. Mr.. Hay
maker just had time to jump down an
eHabankment when the train dashed by.
1t is the last experiment of the kind
DO will ever undertake.

GEM

D minute and three-quarters. Expert
enced judges have pronounced this
famous dog the most symmetrical
greyhound in the country, and all OF
her breed are built on the same grace
full lines. Greyhounds are built for
running. Every line of their beauti-
fully shaped bodies and long, thin.
powerful legs shows it. And they seem
to know this full we'll. Often in play
they dash off at top speed just for the
pleasure of it. A greyhound is the
only animal living that can make
sage brush jackrabbit-that speedy
wonder of the western plains-hump
himself. With dogs of other breeds
Mr. Rabbit unconcernedly winks his
eye But when greyhound happens
around Mr.. Jackrabbit doesn't stop to
mediate.
In coursing it is not always the fast
est greyhound that carries off the
prize, consequently they are not
trained for speed alone. Points are
given to the dog that does the best
turning" "wrenching" and killing"
In coursing two greyhounds are cou-
pied together with a slip" The
handler gets them well started; then
they are slipped" and they are after
their quarry like shot. With heads
close to the ground, their bodies ex-
tended at full length, they almost fly.
It is lucky Mr.. Jack escaped them.
Coursing was formerly extensively in
dulged in in the vicinity of New York.
Latterly, however, a ban has been
placed on the sport by the S. p. c. A.,
and coursing meets are held but sell
dom and then with the greatest Sc
crecy. There are many coursing clubs
still in existence, but they are very
exclusive, as the members have no de-
sire for the searehlight of publicity.
Owing to the erratic playing of the
lawn tennis experts last season, the
ranking committee had considerable
difficulty in placing them for the an
nual handicap list. They, however.
decided that w. A. Larned was entitled
to first place. A curious feature was
the failure of the committee even to
name the Wrenn brothers in singles.

CLOTHES HELD FOR FEES.
Bath House Owners Seize Garments
of Those Who Refuse Patronage.

New York, July 20.-A lively fight is
being waged by bathing house proprie-
tors at Bath Beach and Bensonhurst
against summer boarders who try to
take dip in the waters of Gravesend
bay without patronizing their places.
The bathing house keepers have been
engaged for week in interesting bat
ties with men and women as to their
rights along the beach. James T. Brad
ley and his family. who are boarding in
Cropsey avenue, near Twentieth street,
made their appearance on the beach at
the foot of De Bruyns lane on Wednes-
day evening. They wore their bathing
costumes under light outer garments.
They did not hire a bathing house, but
placed their clothing, as they thought
in a secure place on the beach.
AS soon as they plunged int the water
the proprietor of the establishment and
three assistants gathered up the gar
ments and refused to surrender them
until Bradley paid the required bathing
fee.
A lively argument followed. The
keeper remained firm and two patrol
men were called. Bradley and his fam
lily, in their bathing suits. the proprie
tor and his assistants were taken to the
Bath Beach police station to settle their
difficulties.
Sergeant Rodgers said it was a case
for civil action and he could do nothing.
Bradley insisted on having his gar
ments returned, but the bathing house
man held on to them.
IF you pay me Is cents for each set
of garments" he said, II will return
