rest of the building being practically an
apartment house and hotel for the use
of the club members only. The archi-
tects have thus succeeded in keeping
the traditional club atmosphere on the
lower floors, while at the same time
providing the increased accommodations
for members which were formerly not
considered a necessary or even desir-
able part of clubhouses. but which are
now urgently demanded by the changed
conditions in New York city.
While many of the newer New York

many which still conform to the older

OUTLINES THREE WIVES:
NOW LOOKING FOR FOURTH

= OUIS YOUNG, a hale and hearty
old colored man, of Oskaioosa,
Iowa, recently celebrated what
he claimed to be his 11Sth birth
day. Still active in his way, remember
ing we'll generals of the revolutionary
war, and still clear mentally, he can be
seen every day on the streets of thai
city Flooding along with the aid Of his
cane. stopping with all of his acquaint-
ances and joking good-naturedly about
the times when he was a boy.
For years the old fellow has lived
around Oskaloosa, but not until recently
was his exact age learned. Touchy upon
the subject, Uncle Louis, as he is
known, refused utterly TO disclose his
age. On the day he passed his 11Sth
milestone he announced to his friends
his age, and told them the story of his
lie, which heretofore had been a matter
of conjecture.
Uncle Louis Young was born in Prince
Edward. on Hat creek. Tuckahoe coun-
ty, w. Va, on farm, so poor, he
claims, that it wouldn't grow black-eyed
peas. His birth occurred in 1856 Since
then he has outlived three wives, and is

Stairways Are Obsolete.

The three lower floors are designed
in accordance witt the older standard
of club architecture, while the five
stories above constitute really an
apartment hotel and are so arranged as
to enable a member to secure any COM
pination OF rooms he may desire. The
ninth floor is given over to private din
ing rooms. and the tenth is occupied by
the great hanqucting hall, while above
this at the very top Of the building are
the kitchens and accommodations sar
servants.
There are certain very pronounced
advantages in this arrangements For
example, the development Of sky
scrapers with numerous elevators has
practically done away with staircases,
and this has been the case In the sky
scraper clubs. When the University
Club, in New York, one of the first
buildings Of this style was built, Mr..
McKim, the architect, reasoned that as
nobody nowadays climbed upstairs
when there was an elevator in readi-
ness to carry him, there was no reason
for retaining q staircase as one OF the
prominent features of the design.
This theory he put into practice by
subordinating the stairs entirely, plac-
ing them in a corner behind the eleva-
tors The same plan has been followed
In later buildings, as in that of the
City Club, where the only stairway is
one that is seldom used, being OF the
kind that is ordinarily provided for
servants
