UNION CLUB HOUSE
Algonquins and Ethan Aliens Dis
cuss Plans of Consolidation.
Proposed 10 Build Mt Corner College
street and WinOOski Avenue, Cost
eSS,OOO-Members Practically
Unanimous for Project.

For the first time since the proposition
to build union club house was made the
members of the two clubs met in joint
session Saturday night to discuss tho
project and to get details In regard to
the plans. At the last annual meeting
of each club Il committee was appointed
to consider the matter. The Ethan Allen
club appointed ID. c. Hawlcy, -. J.
Derby and D. A. I.oomis. The Algonquin
club appointed A. S. Isham. Elias Lyman
and r. Il. Burgess. Since that time these
two committees have been working to-
gcther. Several locations have been con-
sidcred and at last two sets of plans have
been drawn
The committees were not ready to
make report until Saturday night In
order that the plan as proposed by them
might be fully understood the members
of both clubs were requested to meet at
the Ethan Allen rooms and they did so
in large numbers. Plans for a club house
had been drawn by Architect Wilcox and
they were on exhibition.
The plans call for a four-story building
on the northeast corner of College street
and Wnooski avenue, the estimated cost
being $4,000. TO this must be added
the price Of the lot. which will make the
total cost about $4,000. The committees
have figured the estimated cost of opcrat-
ing n union club and think that with the
present membership of the two clubs
slightly increased tho proposition can be
carried out successfully.
The plans call for stores on the first
floor and two of these have already been
spoken for by n Church street merchant
on this floor will also he located the
club office. and other small rooms. Tho
second and third floors would he devoted
entirely to club uses and would contain
n large reading room with writing and
| library alcovcs, a den, Il lounging room,
a large and small card room, a ladies'
parlor, a large billiard and pool room 4
| fully equipped dining room and kitchen
and a small private dining room Suitable
rooms would also be provided for the
steward and other employees. One of the
! pleasing features would be a large foyer.
| The building would have two Easements
and these would be rented. on the fourth
floor would be located suites Of rooms for
bachelors. They arc so arranged that all
are on the outside of the building. the
corridors running through the center.
They are planned 50 that they can be
rented in suites or singly. The equipment
of these rooms would he modern in every
particular. The building would be equip
ped with an elevator.
'rhc question was discussed Mt consid-
cradle length by many Of those At the
club and it was practically the unanimous
opinion that such a project should be
carried out. providing it could be financed
Those who are most familiar with the
matter arc Of the opinion that there viii
he no trouble in securing the necessary
funds to build the club house, and it is
probable that the matter will be PLACED

THE CAT CAME BACK.
Walked from PlainAeld to BurIing ION
because She WINS Lonesome.

"Old Pup" is probably the most famous
cat in burlington and is certainly the
most affcctionatc one. for she walked from
Plainlicld TO this city, Il distance of 50
miles. just because she was lonesome
for her old friends and wanted to return
home. II. =. Smith is the owner of this
feline ana he declares he would not part
with her again.
Last April Mr.. Smith gave the cat and
also several kittens to IA friend who re-
sides in Plainfeld. They were placed in
a crate and the owner thought that it was
the last he would ever see of them again.
The old cat appeared disconnected at her
new home and last week disappeared. Sat
urday evening when Mr.. Smith was sit
ting in the doorway mt his livery stable
"Old Pup" walked calmly in to the stables
and made herself at home. She was
very dusty and hungry but was appar-
emily glad to get home. The next day
she visited her old friends in the neigh
boring shops and stores and now seems
to be perfectly happy.
