Clubhouse For Masons.

Chicago, July -. An ambitious
scheme is that Of the Masons in this
city, who propose the erection of a
clubhouse which shall centralize the
activity of the order in the United
States. The proposition is to erect a
structure costing $1,OOO,OOO on Michi-
gan avenue, in the downtown district,
which shall contain all the features Of
a high class club, including athletic
equipment and q theater.
1t is said that subscriptions to the
bond issue have already reached $780,
600 and that wealthy members of the
order have promised to see the thing
through. There are 100000 persons af-
filiated with Freemasonry within a
radius of 100 miles of Chicago.
There is a Masonic temple in Chi
cagO, but it has little to do with Free
Masonry, being a huge office building.
At least two other structures have
been erected under similar auspices,
but they have gradually passed out Of
the category of Masonic belongings.
1t is hoped that this time the club fea-
ture will keep the enterprise within
the limits of the order and that the
building will be a monument.
