COUNTRY CLUBS.

The country club is an organized ex-
preston OF the great outdoor fecrea-
tion movement which has taken so
powerful hold upon the present gen
Grafton over thousand country
clubs have been organized IN the
United States within twenty years. and
the number Is steady growing. few
of them are in the millionaire class.
and have appointments suited to the
tastes and means Of their members
hut most of them belong to people in
moderate circumstances. Many OF

The most Ella borate country clubs are
those in the vicinity of New York. al
though several located in southern
California and other winter resorts
rival them The Sleepy Hollow Club
of New York is probably the most
luxurious country club in the United
states, il not in the world. 1t is new
organization with very wealthy
membership and is located upon the
famous shepherd estate. III the most
attractive part OF the Hudson valley
Mr.. Elliott shepherd began buying
land for this estate in the early nine
ties, with the intention of creating
great country home. similar to the old
English estates He obtained over 500
a number of smaller estates. The old
mansion upon one of them is now
utilized special golf and tennis

Sleepy Hollow members interested in
these sports. This building alone
would afford satisfactory home for

years ago among the magnificent pri-
vate homes of this country. They were
collected chiefly from old villas aud
palaces of Italy, and are almost price
less In their rarity. The house was
designed by the late Stanford White
and is considered almost perfect in all
its appointments. 1t is three stories
high and built in Italian Renaissance
style with high columns. and a semi
circular portico surrounding an an
tique italian we'll. 1t looks out upon
typical Italian garden, laid out in
formal style. with fountain basin and
pergola. 1t has eighteen luxurious bed
rooms for members and guests. baths
of every kind, a library and dining
rooms.
In addition TO the golf links and ten
mis- courts. which are the best of their
kind, arrangements have been made
for flooding some of the tennis courts
and freezing ice upon them for WIN
ter skating. toboggan slide of un
usual length has been recently added,
which has a remarkable momentum
from the unrivaled arrangement of in
clines. The club garage accommodates
over 200 automobiles, and has stables
for horses. The membership of this
sorGaniza ton is to be LIMITED to 1000.
II now numbers about 700.
Scarcely less luxurious. except in the
furnishing of the clubhouse itself, Is
the Piping Rock Country Club. which
Is also largely composed of New York
millionaires. This club is noted for its
equestrian sports. Coaching parties,

outgrowth of the Y. NJ. &. \. gymna-
sum- organized by men who wanted
athletic advantages with broader priNi-
leges. At first the club erected a city
building for athletic purposes. Then
came the call of the great outdoors
Now the club owns over 40 acres of
land, fronting a lake just outside the
city, which provides ample Facilities for
golf, tennis and ball. and also for boat
ing. A luxurious clubhouse and thou
sand members paying $40 each for an
nual dues give this club exceptional
advantages
The splendid climate of the south
west has been especially conducive 10
the development of the country club
and few cities exceeding 5000 popula-
tion III that region are without such
an organization. Golf Is the CHIEF at
traction at most of these. and two or
three western clubs are laying claim
to the largest golf links in the world.
Their membership includes many east
ern millionaires who have esta plished
winter residences in this land of sun
shine. In addition to the large and
palatial clubs, there are a great num-
Der of small country clubs for those
of modest means. At least thirty of
these small clubs are to be found with
in a radius of fifty miles from Los An
geles.
Most of these small establishments
do not represent more than S1O,o0u of
original outlay. and some of them not
half of that The funds are usually
secured either by the formation of
stock company. in which each mem
Der takes a share. or by arranging
for mortgage upon the grounds and
buildings to be paid from the club dues.
The stock company method is most
popular. because it makes each mem
Der a part owner. Since outdoor sport
is tie chief object the clubhouse IS
simple and inexpensive. 1t is usually
cottage or bungalow. plainly fur
nished. provided with good shower
baths and a small grill. The golf
course is most important. In a small
club recently organized. much filling in
was required to complete the 1s-hole
course. The young members put on
old clothes and did a large part of
this manual work themselves.

ALLIES MAY SEIZE
ALL. PARCELS POST

Washington, Dec. 29.-The allies,
it is explained here, intend to seize
and examine all mail passing between
the United States and the European
neutrals which there is reason to be-
lieve is intended for Germany. Hith-
erto the seizures of that sort have
been confined to the parcel post, but
now it is said the allies are going to
extend the search to first class post
age.
In justification of the action, it is
said the allies will first plead military
necessity, and second, that there is
no inviolability of mail to the Teu-
tonic powers because Turkey did not
subscribe to The Hague convention
which covers it. Furthermore, the
action is based on an article in The
Hague convention which provides
that immunity of seizure of mail shall
not apply "to correspondence des-
tined for or proceeding from block

IN TROUBLE FOR
OPENING A LETTER
WOMAN SAID TO HAVE
PROCURED LETTER ADDRESS
ED TO ANOTHER AND NOW IN
CUSTODY U. S. OFFICIALS.

Charged with violation of section
$50 of the penal code of the United
States, Lizzie Allen, colored, was ar
rested by federal officials and yester-
day was ordered held in the sum of
$500 bond, for her appearance before
the federal grand jury, and in de-
fault of said security, she has been
incarcerated in the county jail.
This woman, a couple of days be-
fore Christmas, it is claimed procured
and opened letter from Pace, Fla,
addressed to relative named Will
Allen, and it is claimed, embezzled
said letter. The fact that she opened
the letter addressed to and intended
for another party is in itself a viola
ton of the federal statutes, but when
she was unable to give it up when
the owner made demand for it, is said
to have rather aggravated the case.
and her arrest soon followed.
1t is said that this was about the
first proceeding of this nature which
has been brought here in some time,
and in fact none of the federal of
ficials spoken to yesterday remember
ed having taken similar proceedings
in the past.

To STUDY
FOR The MINISTRY
R. CLYDE DOUGLAS OF PENsA-
COLA WILL GO TO RICHMOND,
VA, NEXT WEEK TO ENTER
THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.

R. Clyde Douglas Of Pensacola, a
son of D. D. Douglas, will leave on
Monday next for Richmond, Va,
where he will enter the Union Theo-
logical Seminary to study for the min
istry, in the Presbyterian faith. He
has been teaching school in Santa
Rosa county for the past. several
months, and the term was ordinarily
to be kept open for another month,
but, having chance to get into the
seminary from Florida right at this
time, he made arrangements for an
other teacher to finish the term, and
he is in the city now, making prep
arations to leave Monday.
This is a Presbyterian institution
and when a graduate leaves there
after passing through the several
years of study, he is about as we'll
equipped for the ministry as possible
The young man from Pensacola will
probably complete in three years.
This is the same seminary which
Rev. I. E. Philips, now serving the
Knox Presbyterian church temporarily
| is attending. Mr.. Philips will com
plete his present service here with
Sunday nights sermon, returning to
pursue his duties in the seminary or
the northbound train Sunday. He ex-
poets to return here at some time in
the future, for he has surrounded
!. himself with numerous friends.

CITY TO PURCHASE
ANOTHERAUT0 SOON
WILL SHORTLY BUY A RUNA-
BOUT, WHICH WILL BE USED
BY MILK INSPECTOR, CITY EN-
GINEER AND OTHERS.

It was decided by the commission
ers yesterday to shortly purchase a
runabout, which will be used by the
milk inspector, the city engineer and
in other departments. A small car,
suitable for but couple of pas
sengers is the type decided upon, and,
while this is not an advertisement,
anyone having such car on their
hands which they care to dispose of at
possibly good price, will probably
succeed in that effort by application
to the mayor.
The duties of the milk inspector re-
quire him to make trips several times
a week to points many miles in the
country, and up to the present time
has been almost steadily monoplizing
the police departments Buick. That
car, however, is pronounced at this
time too heavy to make the country
trips, especially to some points where
the roads are not the best, and for
some time it was thought lighter
car would be procured. The decision
to purchase a lighter one had the en-
dorsement of the city physician yes
teroay, and the decision was arrived
at.
The heavy police department car, il
was stated yesterday, is too heavy
to go into the country with profitable
result, said one of the city officials
yesterday, "since gasoline Is on the
climb"

How to Prevent Croup.

Every effort should be made to
prevent the attacks by giving the
child light supper and plenty of
fresh air at all times. The child
should be warmly clad when out of
doors. Especially the feet should be
well protected and under no circum-
stances should the child be allowed
to remain with wet or cold feet. Then
watch for the first symptom, hoarse-
ness, and give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy at once and the attack may
be warded off. This remedy is fav-
orite with the mothers of croupy
children and can always be depended
upon. 1t is pleasant and safe to take.
Obtainable everywhere. ADV
