WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.?The House of
Representatives of tho Fifty-eighth Con
Kiess, which will assemble in ofctfaordU
nnry session on Monday next, consists of
RSC members and four delegates from
the Territories. Since tho election In No?

*ylvanln, both Republicans, ? successor
vas chosen to Foerdorer on Tuesday last,
nnd the Kentucky vacancy will bo filled
at a. special election to be held soon.
The district is largely Republican? but
there Is a factional fight, and two Re?
publicans are running. It is probable,
however, one of the Republicans will

trtct Representative-elect Joseph J. Gill
resigned, nnd Mr. Weerns, Republican,
v.ns chosen on Tuesday to fill tho vacan?
cy. The political division of the Mouse

Including the member who will be chos?
en to fill the vacancy In Kentucky, there
will bo In the House 120 men w..o ore en?
tirely new to Congressional service, and
nineteen who have had service In that
body, but wero not membetn of tho last

HIGH TAIES
THE TROUBLE
(Continued From First Page.)

Bchoonmaker. his host, said Mr. Stevens
hsd not mentioned to hlni while here any
?proposed removal of offices. Ho said the
route desired by President Stevons ne?
cessitated harmonizing many varied In?
terests."
No Inducement Offered.
Efforts to get at what occurred at the
conference In Clifton Forgo the middle
of last week were equally fruitless. This
response came from tho paper's corres?
pondent there:
"A conference of Chesapeake and Ohio
officials wan held here a few days ago,
at which tho removal of tho head offices
to this place was up for discussion. A
rumor to this effect has been current
here for some time nnd It ha-?? been con?
firmed by the officials, but no Inducement
was made by tho town authorities for
the removal of tho offices and no appli?
cation was mado for the city fathers'
consideration."
From the best authority to bo found
yesterday afternoon It was learned that
tho Idea to take the general offices to
Clifton Forgo was not new. The rea
fcotis supporting such proposed action are
paid to be the groatly Increased city taxes
nnd the more central location of Clifton
Forge. This little city of three or four
thousand people, almost on tho hem of
of the State's outskirts, is very nearly
l.alf way between Newport News and Cin?
cinnati, respectively the eastern, and
western terminals of the line. The re?
puted resentment against Richmond's as
ressmont of taxes Is said to grow out of
the repeal last summer of the ordinance
which provided for an arbitrary amount
in payment of city taxes?a comparatively
small sum. Usually It was between
818,0? and 119.000. Since tho ordinance re?
ferred to above was annulled the property
of tho company, even Its rolling stock,
which Is taxable by the city In which
the central office Is located. Is subject
to a J1.40 rato. Putting the valuation of
this property by the Corporation Commis?
sion at ?3,500,000, tho company would have
to pay pretty close to {?0,000 to the city,
against ?1S.O00, aa at present.
Much Building to Do.
If tho removal to Clifton Forge is mado,
it will not be before spring. In tho mean?
time a suitable building will have to bo
erected in Clifton Forgo for t?e accom?
modation of the many departments neces?
sary for the operation of a great railroad.
Many .residences will havo to be erected

Great Loss of Trade.
In the big, gray building at the corner
of Eighth and Main Streets aro fully
three hundred men, of whom, it is es?
timated, that half are married. Probably
two hundred other employes of the road
in tho city will be transferred if the
offices are. It Is estimated that th(??
spend close to t?O.OC? In Richmond every
month. This will give an Idea of one
of the great losses to Richmond If the
offices of this road are taken from Rich?
mond. To lose the prestige of the general
offices of such a road would be a far
greater loss.
The movement has not yet been
brought to the attention of the Chamber
of Commerce, but doubUes it will as soon
as practicable. The people of the city
would regret beyond measure to lose the
Chesapeake and Ohio, and will certainly
do everything in their power to keep
Its headquarters hero.

COUNTRY CLUB
(Continued From Firat Page.)
ae stated by the executives of the exist?
ing olubs are unanswerable nnd con?
vincing of the desirability of one great
reproeontaUve organisation, with build?
ings and ground? worthy of such an
organization. There Beams to bo little
doubt that such an organization could
purchase grounds, eroct ample buildings
and conduct the club at substantially
the same cost now expended In rental
and operating expenses by the three clubs
named. Interest In the matter Is fast
growing among the clubmen and club?
women of the city, and thus far the
movement eeema to meet with general
favor.
Well-Known Men Talk.
Appreciating the lnteroet In the move?
ment. The Times-Dispatch hae Interview?
ed several well-known gentlemen on the
subject, and to-d?*y prints their replies,
showing Just what they think of tho
plan. Among others General Fitahugh
Dee, though not actively connected with
any of the local clubs, was asked for his
opinion of the project Hald ha:
I have found that every largo city now
has a country club, located outside the
city Umita, and which Is conducted; on
the same plan and principle as a club In
tho city. These clubs aro geniAlly some
miles distan? from tho city, so as to so
curo the fresh air of tho country, and
are usually surrounded by grounds suffi?
cient for golf, tennis, a track to exercise
horses under saddle and In harndss, and In
many Instances space lo set aside for polo,
also.
"The advantages In those clubs are that
they furnish an objective point for the
members, their families and friends to
moot and great each othor during the
day and In tho evenings, while deriving
benefit from tho travel to and fro, as well
as, change from the atmosphere of the
city to tho purer air of tho country.
"The addition of sleeping apartments
and a cafe makes It convenient for gen?
tlemen who are confined by business to
tho city, and when their families are
away for the summer, to Ilvo there ex?
cept in business hours, In that way it
give? them a country homo. Many of
these clubs have a largo membership,
thus reducing the Individual expense, and
where properly and economically conduct,
ed, add much to the enjoyment of those
who Join them and to the attractiveness
of the cities near which they are situ?
ated."
Mr. Jones in Favor.
Mr. Clarence C. Jones, president of the
Hermitage Golf Club, when seen, ex?
pressed himself unequivocally and enthu?
siastically In favor of the proposition.
In fact, he had given considerable thought
and Btudy to the subject, and is one of the
advocates of the plan. When asked for a
statement on the subject, Mr. Jonee ex?
pressed himself freely, and In doing so
summed up the arguments for the Coun?
try Club concisely and conclusively, sub?
mitting a statement of the expenses of
the clubs and of the probable cost of
maintaining such a club an that sug?
gested. When, asked as to tho needs of
Richmond along this lino, Mr. Jones re?
plied without hesitation:
"There can bo no doubt that the great?
est need of Richmond to-day is a country
club?properly so-called; a great, big, old
Virginia colonial houso, with porches
around It; plenty of rooms and plenty of
room In the rooms, all surrounded by
sweeping lawns, trees and Southern flow?
ers. A place,-indeed; to~-entertain your
visiting friends 1 With the true back?
ground of tho charms and refinements
of Virginia life, whether you merely wel?
come social guests or discuss your busi?
ness prospects."
"Is there any groat demand for a
club near Richmond?".
"In every advanced community the
country club Is now a recognized fea?
ture. . Tt Is the outcome of social, poli?
tical, and even commercial development.
You cannot name a city of equal Impor?
tance at the North or West which does
not support ono or moro fino clubs. Wo
In Richmond have not a single country
club worthy of the name. The three
clubs In existence answer their respective
purposes perhaps, but that is all; once
"tho meet" Is over, or the match at golf
or tennis finished, the members scurry
homo ns fast as they can. Why? Be?
cause the club-houses are Inadequate for
concourse, devoid of facilities for dif?
ferent recreations and refreshment,
crude, bare and Inhospitable In appear?
ance. A country club should furnish
you with every sort of outdoor and Indoor
recreation, and a homo, if you want it
for yourself and your friends. In other
words, with diversion of the most health?
ful and agreeable kind, every comfort
you need, nnd maybe with a few raro
luxuries thrown In. You hunt If you
wish, and have a mount; you golf If
fancy so Inclines, or play tennis In sea?
son, or squash, or perhaps splash about
in the "pool" to encourage an appetito
for dinner. Polo and a few other sports
have not yet arrived with us. Thon tl?o
social Ufo and atmosphere of a largo
club Is Invigorating; there Is the Infor?
mal gathering about tables; tho spice
of meeting one's particular friends; or
the dash of a drive out to breakfast;
and always a pince to d?na."
"Can Richmond support such a country
club?" was nsked
RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.
"That question Is nnswered by exnm
Inlng the receipts and expenditures of
the three clubs for tho last flscnl ypar,
1001-2, as taken from their respective nn
nual reports. They show these totals:
Expendl
Recelpls. tures,
Lakeside Country Huh,'$4.076.75 $ 4,177.20
Deep Run Hunt Club, 6,534.70 fl.47S.07
Hermitage Golf Club, 7,581.83 7,424.08
Totals .{18.102.77 ?18.081.S2
"No one can question that the expendi?
ture of this aggregate $18,000, Bay, by a
singlo club, would be productive of cor?
respondingly greater benefit to the Indi?
vidual member. Moreover, it Is quito
likely a lesser amount would provo suf?
ficient for every desired result."
"How could that bo accomplished?"
"By organizing a new, Independent club,
with the object of owning Its buildings
and grounds. This is an ontlroly feasible
undertaking, on the basis of Individual
ownership, by Issuing a bond of low de?
nomination, or its equivalent, to each
person Invited to Join who becomes a
subscriber. Such a plan gives each mem?
ber something for his money nnd a Ilvo
interest in the club. If ho resigns he
sells his bond, perhaps at a premium, to
a newly elected member. Of course, such
a scheme would require a limited mem?
bership, ?ay not over eight hundred, In?
cluding ladles, ns Indispensables.
Complete Harmony.
"A club started on those Hues would
necessarily make Its own traditions; com?
plete harmony would ensue, tlnee there
could be no factions or dissatisfactions?
begging your pardon?where every branch
or club department would be liberally
supported and each member freo to do
n? he ploased, with an equal Interest
In every form of sport and everything
pertaining to the club.
"There can be no doubt that every
member of our thriving local clubs?for
they are thriving In their own ways
would manliest Immediate Interest In a
big Country Club proposiUon like this,
for it Is a well known fact that each of
the local clubs has a very short time to

conclusively that were all sports embod?
ied at one clup, every opportunity of
Joining it would be eagerly embraced.
The advantages would also bo very great
to the individual member in tho mutter
of dues. At present you pay dues at sev?
eral clubs, and really get nothing in re?
turn. In a Country Club, which I think
Is bound to come, you pay the dues of a
single club and get everything you want
"Naturally the old clubs would de?
cline and fall as convenience suggested.
There Is no disloyalty in Uie admission,
since many of us are members In at
least two oiit'of three. But the smuller
clubs would die a natural death, for the
simple reason that no one club could sur?
vive by any process of consolidation. The
old clubs own nothing but their mem?
bers, who would gain more as Individuili
members of a new, than they lost.In their
old organization."
Mr. Pinckney's Views.
Mr. C. Cotosworth Plnclcney, president
of the Deep Run Hunt Club, was next
seen and asked his opinion of tho pro?
ject.
"I am very much In hopes that we may
be ablo to effect some arrangement
whereby, Instead of three separate and
distinct country clubs, we may have one
lnrgo up-to-date country club In Rich?
mond," said ha "Such a club with
every modern convenience Is bndly need?
ed here, and I see no reason why Rich
mond cannot hnve such a club as one
ets with In Baltimore, Louisville and
other progressive cities. I believe one
lnrgo country club hero Is bound to coma
sooner or later; It Is only a question of
time. Kor people aro beginning to nsk
themselves, why they should pay large
dues nnd get .|i small a return, when, by

HAPPY DAYS
Whan Friend? Say, "How Well You
Look."
What happy days are those when all
our friends say, "How well you look,"
Wo cnn bring those days by a little
cure In the selection of food Just us this
young man did.
"I hod suffered from dyspepsia if|>r
threo years and last summer was so bad
1 was untiblo to attend school," he says:
"I was very thin, and my appetite at
times was poor, while again It was crav?
ing. I wus dizzy, and my food always
used to ferment instead of digesting.
Crossness, unhappinoss and nervousness
were very prominent symptom?,
"Late in the sunuwr 1 went to visit a
sister, and there 1 saw und used Grupe
Nuts. I had heard of this famous food
before, but never was Interested enough
to try it, for I never knew how really
good It was. But when I came homo wo
used Grape-Nuts in our household all
the timo, niul ? soon began to note
changes In my health. 1 improved stead?
ily, and am now strong and well in every
way and am back at school able to gat
my lessons wuu ease and. pleasure, and
can remember them, loo, for the Im?
provement In my mental power Is very
coUceable, and I get good marks at my
studies, which aluwya seemed dlllloult
boi'oro.
? have no moro of tho bad symptoms
jrlven above, but feel fine and strong and
happy, and It Is mighty pleasant to hoar
my friends say: 'How well you look.' "

for tho samo dues, they can get a much
handsomer club-house and a far better
return for what money they spend."
"Do you think such a club should own
Its own property?"
"I certainly do. With tho large mem?
bership that such a .club would havo, the
club would bo ablo to own handsome
property. It Is far from-satisfactory to
go to work and Improve property be?
longing to someone else and then to find
the ront raised because tho property has
been Improved. The Improvements now
made by tho clubs on their rpnted prop?
erty Is really so much money lost. I nm
In favor of tho now club locating some?
where west of tho city. If tho property
wero located in tho West-End, it would
obviate the nocsesslty of crossing rail?
road tracks, to which those members who
rido or drive, and especially ladles, natu
rully object. Moreover, If tho club own?
ed property west of tho city, In tho duo
course of timo such property would en?
hance In value, greatly to tho club's ad?
vantage."
The Features Favored.
"What features do you think the now
club should provide?" was nsked.
"1 think the club could start with golf,
tennis, and hunting," said he. "Each la
a popular sport nnd has many followers.
The club might have Indoor sports, such
us bowling, for rnlny days, If It was so
desired. And then another thing I wish
to call your attention to is this: Tho club
could afford to havo certain sleeping rooms
for men. These rooms would bo a great
boon to many a man who Is kept In town
by his work during the summer months
while his family Is away from homo. He
would thus be uble to attend to his bus?
iness and yet spend his nights with some
degree of coolness und comfort. A good
restaurant would be necessary, and It
would make a delightful place to dine ot?
to entertain one's triends."
"Do you think tho money necessary to
start such a club oould be raised in Rich?
mond?"
"Yes, I bollevo so. 1 do not think tho
cost would bo much In excess of what
Is spent on tho country clubs here at
present. People are willing to spend when
they ure Insured a good return for their
money. Besides, many people realize
that tho money spent on sporta In tho
open nlr is far from wasted, Every one
who can should belong to a country
club, If for no other reason than for
the sake of Jlie general benefit to their
health. Of"~cuurse, what I havo said
is only my private opinion. 1 am not
authorized to speak for tho Hunt Club,
though I believe many of tho members
will agree with the views 1 havo ex?
pressed."
Mr. Tatum in Line.
Mr. iDuclen B, Tatum, president of tho
Dakesldo Club, was next seen. This
gentlemen expressed himself as heartily
in accord with tho movement, If found to
bo practicable, Speaking of tho pres?
ent condition of his own chili, Mr. Ta?
tum declared that Its finances were In
a most gratifying stato. Not only wero
there no d?lits, hut there was a good bal?
ance In the treasury. The membership
wan larger than evor before, and Increas?
ing. The links at Lakosldo wero splen?
didly patronized. There was everywhere
to noto u tono of satisfaction and grati?
fication on the part of all members.
Recurring to the proposition of consoli?
dating all tho clubs Into a "country"
club, Mr. Tatum suld:
"I think tho Idea of a general club. If
It can bo properly carried out, Is a very
excellent on?. Of course, I speak only
in a*? UndUU'ual cujjjuiuy, <-v tin? <?*?
ter has never been menUoned in any of
the discussions 6t' the' club. I can seo
that thero would be many advantages
In having one club combining all the
facilities of the present ones. If conve?
niently and desirably located. But, ori
tho other hand, the members of the
Lakeside Club, I bellevo, are so firmly
attached to It that they would "be loth
to givo It up."
