Big Reception Hall.

1t was intimated yesterday that preba-
bly, 1900 persons will pass through the
reception room of the new building daily.
There IS aot a parlor In the entire new
structure
The reception hall will be fitted up
after the fashion of an up-to-date hotel
lobby. To Go this in the most desirable
way 1t is estimated will only cost s.. 900.
This would be one Of the most striking
memorials possible of institution.
The educational department, which in
more ways than one VIII rank among
the best practical colleges of the COM
munity, can be fitted up for $500
The single rooms IN the dormitory will

JAMES E. PUGH REMEMB BERED
Religious Work Rooms Dedicated to
Late Secretary-Letters Sent to
Church Helpers.
JAMES E. PUGH REMEM BERED

The spontaneity with which women of
Washington have volunteered to furnish
the dormitories in the new home of the
Young Mems Christian Association Is
responsible for a movement to establish
memorials in this building.
AS far as is known the first movement
of this kind was to furnish the relig-
ious work rooms as a memorial to James
E. Pugh, once general secretary of the
local association. whose efforts to re-
viye the organization after disastrous
fire cost him his life.
His Record as Secretary.
He was secretary between 1889 and 1895,
and made the association one of the
strongest In the country.
In July "a. 1895. the Y NJ c. A. build
Ing. with all Its contents. was destroyed
by fire. With undaunted courage Mr..
Pugh set TO work to raise money for a
new building.
Oerworked and weighed down by anx-
iety caused by the fire and its derange-
ments, MIR. Pueh died early in October
of the same year.
The plan now under consideration is
to furnish the religious work rooms as
memorial to the undying good that
this man has accomplished for the as
sociation and Washington
These rooms are the Yoke Fellows
head"narters, where the clubs which
have charge of the big meetings" in
the theaters will meet: the volunteer
league room. and the Bible study clubs
home. In each of these rooms will be
assigned space FOR that portion of the
general library. especially connected
with its work
No Big Reading Room.
1t has been adopted as the plan Of
the new gymnasium not to have one
big reading room. but to distribute
books and magazines among the rooms
devoted to work
Association buildings elsewhere have
been largely furnished through the pres
entation of memorials. Entire Y NJ
c. A. buildings have been erected IN
New York as memorials to loved ones.
In the building at Scranton. Pa. many
of the rooms were fitted up as menlori-
ais The same is true in Brooklyn.

round OF visits upon his patients. In
those days young man who had re.
ceived n splendid medical training in
one of the best medical colleges of that
day was accustomed to ride ten, twenty
or thirty miles or more visiting the sick
and afflicted. His success was soon
phenomenal. Doctors and families
called him for consultation to towns at
considerable distances by rail- One OF
his specialties was the cure Of those
distressing diseases Of women. He had
early discovered that by combining the
vegetable extract Of certain medicinal
plants in just tho right proportion
without the use Of alcohol bis pre-.
scription invariably cured such cases.
Later, in order to place this remedy
before the public in a shape easily to
be procured, ne established labora-
tory at Buffalo, N. Y, where regularly
qualified chemists were put in charge
to accurately prepare his prescription
and put in shape for shipment to oil

Visitors who came "to spend the day"
For hours they roamed through the
beautiful glen. where Cedar Creek
PUSHES along over Its rocky bed, with q
sound akin to music. A short stop at
Lost River was made where, with hush
cd silence. they listened to the murmurs
Of the water, which could only be heard
and not seen. A cool drink from It's
pleasant waters, then hurry to Salt
retre Cave, only to stop long enough to
carve their names on It's smooth walls
and to send few echoes through the
cavern,
Iaccwater Falls, at tho end Of the
stray Of almost transparent water.
Luncheon was partaken of by few,
|N,nder the Mighty Arch, midst tho
Grand old arbor-vetae trees, which arc
said to he The largest and the Oldest IN
the world
Yet the excellent cuisine and service
at tho hotel attracted the greater part
Of the party and the inner man was
more than natsnlped, while the SOFT

spacious dining hall.
