COOL SUMNER HOMES.
Advantages of the Virginia Mountain
Region Along the c. and O.

One of the most important questions under
consideration at this time of the year is the
selection of a summer home. and it can be
easily and satisfactorily settled by choosing
some spot in the Virginia mountains. along
the line Of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road. Besides such well-known resorts as
the Virginia Hot Springs. the Greenbrier
White Sulphur. the old Sweet the Rock
bridge Alum and other famous health and
pleasure places. there are hundreds of
country homes in the mountain region
where board can be obtained at the most
reasonable rates. The c. and O. has Just
issued a folder. Summer Homes" which
will be valuable aid to selecting one, and
which will be sent to all applicants by ad-

the charges and complaints alleged against
him. on the ground that they have been
previously investigated and adjudicated by

In his bill Mr.. Hayes declared that under
the constitution and bylaws of the knights
of Labor 1t requires majority of the
board to act in such matters as the ones
in question; that the board Is constituted
of five members: that the members of the
So-called executive board have failed to
qualify as an executive board, and have no
right to proceed with the proposed trial I'M
til they shall have complied with the con-
stitutfon.
Unless the so-called executive board should
be restrained from proceeding in the mat

would be seriously injured in his rights, not
only as to gaining livelihood. but also as
