slfiest zr.3 most famous organization Inthe city, was had last night fl.t the liand-aoac Quarters of the organization, at
Sixth arid Grace streets, and was oneor the m^st memorable in the long listof/such celebrations. It/was also the ior-inal opening cf the recently completed
addition to the clubhouse, and was inevery way a njost auspicious one.
The': Westmoreland numbers among itsmembership many men prominent in the(justness,; political,and socisl circles of thecity, and, inueed, of tho entire State.
, 'Xkere was a liberal representa.tio:s of
\ tho membership presc-nt last night; andI many guests from this city and from va-i nous portions of the State. When one
looked over the assemblage it eecrn-ed thai, it -.would be easier to say whotrere not there. tha.sl who were, for therenr.:st have been, five hundred din-ers, among whom were many of tnemen who have contributed to the growthand development of Richmond and Vir-SiiUa..
Among so many and. in such an infor-n-al graiherins it is dinicult to-sinplc; outthe prominent ?rentleme:i present. The. oc-casion was marked, by the presence ofGovernor Montacrue and two of lour sur-viving ox-Governors.; of. the- State— Hon.Charles" T. O'Ferrall "and General Fitz-bugh Lee.

combined into a great ba.nquet hall for theoccasion, and accommodated with someoeffrc-e of comfort the great gathering.The entire building- was -thrown open and-ivas brilliantlylighted and gracefully dec-orated with cut flowers, potted plants,and "waving-" palms. Behind a bank ofp.nims a string orchestra was stationed,KtiJ made, music during- the evening. Theassembly hall, adjoining the other rooms,\u25a0was -thrown open and the guests-overfl-owed into that.
AN OLD FASHIONED DINNER.The dinner was on tne order of an old
fashioned barbecue, roast shoat. lamb,sr.d other meats, salads and all that goes10 make up a sumptuous menu of a din-ner on a large scale being served in a.very informal manner. Allkinds of winesand drinks were served in the wine-room,ss Was c-pc-nogg. the great Christmasdrink of Virginians.
Everything was informal, dellghtfullybo, there being no set speeches nor toasts.A few responded to "persifiant calls' forspeeches; songs, and stories, and manyraconteurs regalea appreciative groupsof listeners with well-told stories. Themale members of the Bijou MusicalComedy Company were present by spe-cial invitation of the club management.Manager Jake Weils refusing to acceptany- proffered .'compensation,; as did the

The Eißht-Honr Day.
(New York Times.)
The insistence of organized labor uponthe eight-hour day could be made a prac-tical Ipsup, with very little opposition, ifthose who vv-oiit it would demonstrate thatit is economically possible in the present
condition of industrial and commercialcompetition. On this subject the Iron Age
offers a very good suggestion by proposingthat labor shall prove its contention thatthe eight-hour day would not place em-ployers granting it at a hopless disad-vantage by selecting -works sufficiently,representative to make the test a. fairone. and saying to the proprietors in ef-fect:"We want the oight-hour day. Wedo not. hovrcver, want to ruin you. ami
we perfectly understand that if we do sonot "only willjtve lose our jobs, but weshall have established an unanswerableargument against the eight-hour system.Consequently, we make you this proposi-
tion: Taking present average output asthe standard of what is satisfactory andprofitable to you. and present cost perunit of product as low enough to_enableyou to meet existing competition, wepromise, if the eight-liour day is given .1
throe months' trial, to demonstrate thatyour production will not diminish per"unit of labor nor the labor cost increaseper unit of production. Ifwe establishour contention, you agree to continue theeight-hour day permanently; ifwe do not.we agree to "conform in hours of labor
to what is customary in our trade. We
will look after your interests, at least tothe extent of protecting your interestsagainst injury from any cause for whichlabor ie responsible." -

A Cliristlnn's Defence of SmokinGf.Chronicle.)
One of Melbourne's historic buildings.Bishop's Court, the official residence ofthe Anglican prelate, is about to be <la-molishea and to giv.-j place io a more up-to-date structure. In its garden is theoidest gum tree In Australia, declared bythe late eminent botanist. Sir Ferdinandyon Mueller, to date from the sixteenthcentury- Under this old tree was -the fa-vorite scat and open air
'study of Dr.Moorhouso, now Bishop of Manchester,during the ten years that he occupied theSec of Melbourne. A lady visitor havingonce supprested that -tobacco' was. of Sa-tanic oripin. Bishop Moorhouse replied:"Pnrdon m«?. madam. Ismoke, and 1ama better Christian for doing so. Do yo.r
road my letters in the.- papers?" The lady
answered that she did. with pleasure. "Doyou ever see anything discourteous or un-kind in them?" "Certainly not; Ioftenremark "now. well you keep your temper.'.""Well, madam, the first drafts-, of 'theseletters contained the most cutting thingsIcould think of. "Then "I-'would go an.lsit on the butt of that old gum tree, lightmy pipe, and- have a quiet smoke. Afterthat I'would •\u25a0 return to the house an-1strike out every Hue that might givepsin to others. So. you sec. smokingmakes mo a better Christian." U. S, MAILROUTE,

Kissed to Death Unintentionally.
On the arrival of the Australian sol-dters.at Melbourne from the seat of war.they were welcomed by a. crowd whoseenthusiasm the police were quite unableto.stem. The female portion was particu-larly demonstrative, the men being inmany instances -.literally torn from ther'ankS'to.be the decipients of a veritablehurricane of favors . from the fair lips.Many were completely overcome, and oneactually fainted under the labial salutesof 300 Victorian. damsels.
Though these victims escaped withoutactual hurt, says the Chicago Tribune,such immunity has not always been thecase. In the autumn of 1900 a doctor wascalled, in to see a young woman who wassaid to be suffering from sn attack ofpleurisy. On examining her, however, hediscovered that one of her, ribs was frac-tured— an injury- which. ,it subsequentlytranspired, she had. received at the hands,or rather at the arms, of her fiance, whohad too ardently embraced her on the oc-casion of their last parting. ,
Betty, the Infant Rosclus. when at thezenith of his juvenile fame,- was on one oc-casion waiKinif with some ladies whenanother bevy of female admirers boredown upon him. and, pulling him away
from his companions, commenced to lav-ish upon him endearments and kisses. Theothers promptly, rushed to their idol'srescue, who
'between the contending par-
ties—each determined to possess the boyactor— was thrown to the ground and somuch bruised and injured as to be una-ble to appear for a couple of- nights.
Insignificant, however, iwas this' mis-charice to the fate that befel M.de Langy.a courtier of the time of Louis XV.. whosesupreme conceit so irritated certain la-dies of the, court that they resolved toinflict upon him. a novel punishment.Feigning one day to be overcome by thebeauty -of his face and person., they fenupon him en masse, hugging and .kissing
the wretched dandy till he cried, "formercy. Deaf to his entreaties, the ladiescontinued their' merciless caresses untilthe object of their mock love—who. In-deed, was but. a
-sorry' weakling—in en-deavoring to .break away;. from theirclutches, broke a blood vessel and died afew days later. \u25a0
Amurath IV.. the Turkish Sultan, sus-pecting one of his ministers of havinguesigns upon vthe sanctity. of his harem,
ordered the culprit: to be kissed to deathby his female slaves. This sentence wasactually carried out. the miserable victimbeing securely fastened'to, the. ground andthen suffocated by the caresses and kissesof his female executioners, who werestimulated to unflagging exertion by theunrelenting rcus of the tyrant's eunuchs.
Musical "lions" seem in especial danger
of this '\u25a0 novel method of 'assault, andmany of our most famous pianists haverun the gauntlet, only to emerge crushedand exhausted from the ordeal.
