WESTMORELAND CLUBHOUSE TO

Improvements-The Details Are to Be
Arranued hu the Board

1t is not the wish of any member of
ance OF the club house whose classic
and are associated With their earliest
recollectiors Of Richmond. All the al
te,aticns vii be l., .ile rear and this is
the general idea to be followed: The
kitchen will be torn down and the main
building extended to the alley. This will
give a structure nearly as large as the
present edifice. 1t will contain chiefly
the asse1nby-room and the cafe beneath.
Furnished rooms may be located above
if it be found to be feasible. But this
and many other details are yet to be de-
termined upon.
There was some talk last night that
g. roof garden may be added to the build
ing. This will likely be done if 1T can
be, and the purity of the architecture is
not interfered with, but that will not
be sacrificed for it. Plans have. already
been drawn for the improvements. But
these are only tentative. No designs
have been adopted and will not be, prob
ably, for several weeks.
The club will have no trouble in get
ting the money needed. At the last
report it was stated that about $4,000
was in bank Bonds may be issued Tor
whatever may be needed outside of what
is taken from this cash for building pur-
poses. It is not thought likely that any
bonds will go on the market, however, but
all be taken by members.

HUMAN BODY

Remarkable Course Of Lectures.

Iege of Virginia.

A rema rka BILE series of lectures arc now
in progress nightly at the Medical Col
lege of Virginia.
1t was stated last night that their
like had never before been conducted
in the State, or i'll the South. 1t is
something new for the Southern colleges
DR.. Ennion G. Williams IS the lecturer,
and is being assisted by Dr.. w. II. Tay-
lor the Richmond wizard.
The chief. features of the lectures are
tle use of parts of the human body,
microscope and powerful stereopticon.
Particles of the liver, the heart or any
OF the vital organs of the body are
placed, after preparation. upon q glass
stercopticon slide, greatly magnlfed and
thrown upon a screen. The whole class
can see at once as the professor discusses
the organ which, is the theme of. the eve
ming. These arc not pictures upon a
slide but the rema rkable circumstance
is that they are the real particles OF
flesh.
The boys are learning to prepare the
esides now, but many of them were
shipped here direct from Paris for the
purposes indicated. The lectures are cx-

CRISIS IMPENDING.
It is believed that the national organiza-
ton is preparing to bring matters to an
issue in West Virginia. The best or
ganizers at it's command are being sent
there now, and it is said they have
received carte blanche to fulfill their
mission. West Virginia must be organ
izeed, if the competitive agreement be-
tween the operators and miners Of Indi-
ana, Illinois and PENNSYLVANIA is to be
maintained. If it were not for the i'm.
pending trouble in the anthracite re-.
gon it is understood that the national
officers would call a strike at once in
West Virginia.
Secretary and Treasurer Wilson, who
left tonight to attend the convention of
the bitunainous men Of the Central Penn
sylvania District, at Altoona, Pa, SAID
a strike in West Virginia is imminent,
as the district officers have been instruct
ed to call a strike ifs-thcy fail in an
other attempt to get a. conference with
the operators. Trouble is also appre-
.hended in Indiana, the miners and opera
tors in this State having so far been
unable to reach an agreement.

WASHINGTON D. c., March 25.--The

AS was stated in these columns some

went before Roosevelt with his objections
z in which he was well backed by his Re
publican friends, and succeeded in holding
UP matters for a day Or so. Then the
machine got together and fought hard
