Essex Club Building About Ready

The Kreuger building which was pur-
chased few months ago by the Essex
Club, a club of about thirty-five young
men of Hays, has undergone a trans
formation on the interior. When COM
pleted it will be one of handsomest
club houses in the state. The first
floor, which has been beautifully fitted
up for ball room, has indeed under
gone a metamorphosis. An interior
stairway on the south side of the first
floor leads to the second floor; in the
south west corner of the room is lit
tie platform for the orchestra; four
large electric fans with chandeliers are
on this floor; the room is very beauti-
fully papered in Holland style and
has smooth floor of hard maple. The
hrst floor also contains the ladies' cloak
and toilet room. The second floor has
been partitioned off into three large
rooms and a smaller room, which lat
ter is now being fitted for toilet and
bath room for the free use of the mem
bers. To the front of the second floor
are the library and parlor which are
joined by large double door. On the
northwest side just back of the parlor
Is the spacious billiard room. The third
story, which will not be fitted up just
at present, will constitute the banquet
hall and kitchen. All the rooms are
fitted with electric lights and will also
be supplied with fans.
1t is the aim of the club to remodel
the front of the building and put in
large plate glass windows, but this will
not be done until later.
The Essex Club has announced a
public reception to the people of Hays
on the evening of July and the oc-
eassion will undoubtedly be the biggest
social event Hays has had for years.
The formal opening of the building
will be celebrated by the club members
and their ladies July 8. The noted
Springer's Orchestra of Salina has been
engaged for the two days.

fondness for American millionaires.
On Saturday the papers announced that
William X. Vanderbilt. Of New York. and
his wife and daughter had arrived at the
Hotel Bristol 10 spend a short holi-
day. One or two papers printed what
purported to be graphic interviews with
this distinguished visitor. and the hotel
became within twenty-four hours the
Mecca Of scores OF persons anxious to
meet the American plutocrat
The procession to the hotel included
bankers with schemes TO promote, pic
ture dealers. and motor-car agents, yacht
and motor-boat builders. representatives
Of hospitals, orphanages. and Libraries,
nying-machine inventors. and a monde
script collection of strange persons with
proposals OF various kinds. Letters pour
ed in. addressed to ''W, K. Vanderbilt,
Millionaire" One man in Saxony tele-
graphed that he had two unknown Rem
brandts and a Van Dyck which could be
bought at bargain.
AS a matter of fact, Mr. Vanderbilt was
not In Berlin at all. Only his wife (for-
merry Mrs. Rutherford. an Englishwoman)
and her daughter, Miss Rutherford, to-
gether with her son by her first marriage,
Mr.. Sands, were here. The latter. young
Englishman of twenty-eight. has been
whisperingly pointed out by hotel pages
as the American Croesus. Many tables
have been engaged at the hotel restaurant
by Berliners who hoped for the opportuni-
" of brushing shoulders with Mr.. Van
derhilt whose name inspires genuine awe
in the German mind.
