The Lure of the Oriental Rug
NO WONDER that in modern
day furnishing the Oriental Ruft
stands pre-eminent.
NO WONDER when the hand
looms of artistic Turkey, Persia,
the Caucasus and the Turkoman
distiicts produce such unique tex?
tures and harmony of color com?
binations.
NO WONDER when these gems
of Oriental art drop so fittingly in
our up-to-date Richmond homes.

chase becomes an investment and
not an expense.

to do so) of the beauties and value-giving of THIS OCTOBER SALE.

BURIALS ARE NOT
ALLOWED BK GOOE
It Appears That Technically In?
terments in Hollywood
Are Illegal.
Undertakers in the City Council, of
whom there are no lews than five, were j
somewhat ?hocked yesterday to find
that by a curious oversight, no pro- \
vision Is made In t)ie new City Code 1
tor Interments in Hollywood Cemetery. I
In fact, according to the strict letter
Of the code, there is a tine of ST, for |
every day that each body remains 11- ;
lesally intej-red there-. And the. new ;
cod? has been the law of the city for
amore than a vear: yet nobody, it seems, \
"knew it until copies came from the
printer during this week.
Lot owners In Hollywood Cemetery,
bowever, need hardly be upset. For
fifty rears Hollywood hits gone on as
the largest and handsomest cemetery ;
? n lhc- city, and It will probably con- I
tiuue, code or no cod*.; but the five
undertakers In the Council will prob?
ably see that a proper correction is
made.
Ancient Mlntnke.
The oversight must date byck a half
century, and in no way reflects on
those who compiled the new code. The
volume is admitted to bo n remarkably
complete and accurate one, and its In?
dex has been ttetiared by experts the
most complete .piece** of work of its
kirn ever published in the Stnte.
Chapter 23 of the code deals with St.
John's burying ground, the most an?
cient burying place in the City, and
tells of the rather eurfous arrange?
ments between the city and the vestry
of S-'t. John's Church, by which the city
agrees to care for the grounds in per?
petuity, portion 3 says that there Is
to be no Interment made In this ground
except by special consent of the com?
mittee, and continues:
"Nor shall any body be hurled In any
place in the olty, other than at a bury?
ing crourid owned by the city, except
In the burying ground of the Society
of Friend-, on Cary, between Nine?
teenth and Twentieth Streets, or that
of the Hebrew cmsregn I Ion. Any per?
son who shall bury, or cause to be
buried, a dpafl body tn a place In the
city not allowed by this section, shall
p?v to the eltv a flr.e of t~ for every
day that said body rhall remain in
Blirh place."
Koi Referred To.
The reetlon Is alse to be round In
t.r.e City Code of 1899, so that the
omission Is no recent thing Holly?
wood Is not owned by the city, nor is
It one of the two;exempted cet.erles

Heavenly Visitor Seen to South
With Unaided Eye in Clear
Weather.
Good views of Brooks's comet may
now be obtained nightly by Rlch
monders, when"'the sky Is clear. Early
last night the aerial visitor could be
seen In the shape of a glow of nebu?
lous light. Clouds soon obscured It.
Its position is above und slightly to
the left of the lust star in the handle
of the Great Dipper, by a distance of
about fifteen diameters of the moon
This means that from the north side
of the James the comet appears to
? bang over South Richmond, about onc
I third of the distance, between the horl
[ zon and the zenith.
I Although not us bright as Halley's
I comet, which last year caused conster

' latest Fomct is being carefully watched
' nnd studied by scientists.
I It was named for Its discoverer. I'ro
i fessor Brooks, of Chicago University,
j nnd was llrst observed Sunday night,
I September 16.
I Apparently devoid of an appendage,
j or tall, It presents a nebulous uppear
, ance, not unlike that of a star of the
third of fourth magnitude when seen
through a thin veil of cirrus clouds;
Its nucleus not being visible with the
aid of a pair of strong Held glases.
FLOOD 10 SPEAK
j Invited to Take Part in Cam?
paign for First State
Officers.
Representative H. D. Flood of the
I Tenth Congressional District, who
: spent yesterday In the city, stated that
! he had decided to accept an Ihxltatlon
tendered him to take part In the pres
I ent political campaign in New Mexico
Territory. The Territory, which la
about to formally come Into the Union.
under the recently passed statehood
I bill, will elect State officers and vote
; on an amendment to its new Consti
tutlon.
The Territory Is supposed to be Re
'? publican, and Mr. Flood will speak in
i behalf of the Democratic, nominees.
I; was In the discharge of his duftes
us- chairman of the House Committee
: ?>n Territories that Mr. Flood during
' the recent session of Congress adjust

. hood for New Mexico and Arizona.
1 Following President Taft's unalterable
! objection to the provision for the re
! call of judges In Arizona's COnstltU
! tlon as submitted to him. Mr. Flood
j 8U reeded in securing an adjustment
I l>> which this feature was eliminated.
I However, the new State may vote It
back as an amendment to the Const!
tutlon after It enters the Union.
The trouble In New Mexico 1? in
the process of amending the Constitu?

self. So -many restrictions arc
thrown around it that it would be al?
most Impossible to make a change in
the organic Instrument. Mr Flood will
advocate un amendment making It
more elastic, so that In response to
the will of the people an amendment
may be secured.
The people of the Territories are said
to be exceedingly grateful to Mr.
Flood, without whose offices, they
think, statt hood would ha\e been post?

SCHOOL CROWDED
WITH APPLICANTS
Virginia Mechanics' Institute
Opens for1 Year With Big
Enrolment.
MANY DESIRE ENGLISH
Unusually Large Number of
Boys From Mechanical
Trades Enter.
With a total enrolment of 381 to
date, the Virginia Mechanics' Insti?
tute began Its fifty-seventh year last
evening with a meeting of all stu?
dents for the purpose of organization
Into classes. Compared with figures
for last year, the present attendance
is entirely satisfactory to the omcerj
of the institution, who expect a total
enrolment of -150 by the end of next
week.
The schedule of studies shows a
comprehensive curriculum, emhraclng
mathematics, from simple arithmetic
to calculus, bookkeeping, mechanical,
itroe-hand, architectural and Instru?
mental drawing, physics, chemistry,
electricity, English and mechanical
courses In the machinist and metal
trades. Forty-eight separate classes
are listed.
An unusually large number of boys
from the mechanical trades entered
the school this :'ear. Apprentices
from the machinists', botlermakers',
pattern-makers' and plumbers' trades
have registered In large numbers.
This is considered by the officers of
the institution an encouraging sign
pointing to an Increasing tendency
among the employee In thse lines of
Industry to seek improvement in the
technical knowledge of their respec?
tive trades.
English Course Populnr.
English, bookkeeping, arithmetic
and drawing have so far proved the
most popular subjects. Twelve courses
are offered In the department of draw?
ing and designing, and no less than
130 have already signed up for them.
The English and bookkeeping classes
were swamped with -applicants early
In the ,evening, and a number seek?
ing admission to /these two classes had
to be turned down or postponed be?
cause of the lack of room and equip
mcnt. The English course draws from
a large field and Is largely elected by
working boyS who left the school?
before obtaining an adeiuate ground?
ing in tha language.
The minimum length of the classes
Is one hour, with a number of the lab?
oratory classes two hours In length.
A large number of the students take
two one-liobr classes an evening. The
average, however, per student is 1.6
hours. A remarkable fact In connec?
tion with the age of the pupils Is. thnt
although students are received from
fifteen years of age up. the average
age remains practically constant at
19.2 years.
Prnctlcnl Instruction.
The purpose of the school, as an?
nounced in the charter, is the educa?
tion of students in the scientific end
mechanical arts, and It Is worthy of
note that not a single course Is of?
fered In the curriculum whose value
Is solely aesthetic or cultural. The
Institute Is regarded as doing u val?
uable work In offering opportunity for
development to the worker and me?
chanic whose early scholastic training
has been neglected, and who Is ambi?
tious to improve bis knowledge and
technique. The Increasingly large
number of students being recruited
from the ranks of the mechanical
crafts Is a source of much gratifica?
tion to the officers of the school who
confidently predict an unusually suc?
cessful and productive, year.
Following are the officers and rtlrec
i tors of the Institute for the present
I year: W. J. Whltehurst, president; B.

Wants Supreme Court to Take
Up and Decide Interest
Question.
ADVANCES WERE IGNORED
West Virginia Has Failed to
Take Any Notice of Court's
Opinion.
Motion for a rehearing of the debt
case of the Commonwealth of Virginia
against the State of West Virginia
was filed yesterday with the cVerk of
the Supreme Court of the United Slates,
in Wnshlngton. by Attorney-General
Samuel W. Williams. He asks that tho
mutter be reopened for the purpose of
referring to a special master tho
amount of Interest which should bn
paid by West Virginia on the principal
of $7,100,000. which the Supreme Court
has already declared Is due Virginia
from West Virginia.
All efforts looking toward a compro?
mise of interest or a conference on the
subject have failed, declares the At?
torney-General. Overtures have been
made to West Virginia, but have bten J
Ignored, and Virginia asks that the
Supreme Court again take the matter i
up and render Its decree. This action
Is taken by direction of the V?r?lnls
Debt Commission, which recently held
a meetlnc In this city.
The Attorney-General asks for a re?
hearing In the cuse between the two
States of Virginia and West Virglnip j
relative to the proportion of the in
dectedness contracted by the old Com
monwealth of Virginia before the i
atlon of the State of West Virgin'a.
which should be pajd by the r.ew State.
He sets forth the finding of the Su?
preme Court In the decision of the
last term. In which West Virginia's]
share of the indebtedness was declared
to be between $7,000,000 and $8,000,000,
and, calling attention to the observa- j
tlon of the court that the settlement
of the Interest account could be reason?
ably left to adjustment ?letwcvn ?he
two States, declared that whereas
everv effort has been made to bring
about nn agreement. West Virginia has!
utterly refused to do so. Indeed, he
declares that all advances en the part
of the older State have been Ignored.
The motion will be presented to the
court early In tho approaching ter^rv
If It should be granted, the case would
be reopened and the court would give'
especial attention to the question of
the' Irterest which should be paid by
West Virginia on the old debt.
Tho papers set forth all correspond?
ence had between the States since the
court's opinion, saying:
"The Commonwealth of Virginia hav?
ing thus exhausted the means within
her control for bringing about a con?
ference between the two States as re?
commended by the court, can under
the circumstances, derive no hope or
expectation that West Virginia will
make any agreement with Vlrglnln
for settlement In the manner Indicat?
ed by the court, and Is convinced that
the time has come for this court, In
Its own way, to determine the ques?
tions left open by Its decision already
rendered, and to grant the complain?
ant complete relief.

Yesterday Proved Another Red Letter Day; a Block of the
Company's Lots Were Snapped Up in Addi?
tion to Numerous Re-Sales.
INVESTORS ARE AWAKE
TO VANISHING OPPORTUNITIES
Only About 3 Blocks Left; But Some Most Desirable Lots
Remain?To-Day and To-Morrow May See All Lots
Sold--Quick Action Necessary to Wouid
Be Purchasers.
Seldom can it be said that real estate literally sells itself, but this is true of Monument Annex,
the West-End property around which all interest has centred recently.
Whenever one once sees the property and has its points explained, the unlimited possibilities of
the property are plain, and buying follows.
These facts are evidenced by the series of heavy sales during the past,several days, yesterday
going on record as another all-star day.
Investors are wide awake to the richness of the proposition, and are rapidly securing as large
shares of the vanishing opportunities as they can carry.
An unusual feature of Monument Annex as_an . investment is the pleasing fact that in spite of
rapid sales many of the most desirable lots yet remain. '
As might be expected, BLANTON & CO., the sales agents for the- property, are jubilant over
the way events* are shaping themselves. The writer found their offices in the Travelers' Building a
veritable bee .hive yesterday afternoon. It is evident on all sides that history will repeat itself
? again to-day and to-morrow.
