ARCHITECT ANDERSON'S DESIGN FOR RENE1P) CAPITOLWHICH PRESENTED THE MOST SitiKING CHANGES.

Of all the plans submitted for the improvement of the Copitol, perhaps those of Mr. D. Wiley Anderson, of this city, provided for the most striking alterations.

According to the designs-of Mr. Anderson, the cost of the enlargement of the Capitol would be approximately $97,000, or $3,000 less than the sum appropriated for that

j urpose.As will be seen by the accompanying sketches, extensions are made north and south, with a new portico facing Broad street, similar to that now facing the south. A dome is placed

over the rotunda, as shown by the longitudinal section in the sketch. This was intended to provide light and [ventilation from the basement to the summit of the dome. Eastern andwestern porticoes are added to give emphasis to the entrances and to avoid an elongated effect of the additions of the northern portico and extensions.

The entire interior is changed, giving much additional room for Senate, House of. Delegates and State offices. The general exterior effect is very attractive.Others who submitted designs were Captain M. J. Dimmock, Mr. J. K. Peebles, of Norfolk; Messrs. Fry & Chesterman, of Lynchburg, and Messrs. Noland & Baskerville, of this

-ity. The last two firms were given the contract jointly, and new plans are to be drawn embodying the best ideas of both. .

Pen Pictures of a Few of Those Who

Helped to Frame theNew Constitution

for Virginia.

The Virginia Constitutional Conventionof 1901 -2, after a recess of nearly twomonths, will reassemble in the Hall ufthe House of Delegates at the Capitolrext Thursday, at noon, to finally adoptthe instrument already framed, and todetermine whether it shall be promul¬gated by the body itself, and thenceforthbecome the organic law of the State, or

¦whether it shall be submitted to the peo¬ple for ratification or rejection, and if so,to what people.The Final Revision Committee, sitting

in vacation, has made out the schedule,as well as the ordinance under whichthe new registration will be held, and_these will likely be adopted with butfew changes. Electoral Roards for eachcounty and city in the State, and Reg¬isti ors for each district and ward arc

to be chosen, and it. is thought thesematters, and ail others relating to thefinal adoption of the new instrument, canbe disposed of in about two weeks, whichir the length of time the average member1\\eb for the final session.The schedule recommended by the Re-

vinion Cominee provides that the pres¬ent legislature shall put the "new instru¬ment into operation, and for this impor¬tant purpose, it will assemble on the sec¬ond "Wednesday in November nest. .

TWO THINGS EVIDENT.3 here are two things in connection with

the new organic law of the state, thatare already obvious to the observingtr.lnd. One is that the instrument is. anexceptionally good" one, and the other* isthat it wiU be proclaimed. As great mena* Editor Shaw of the Review of Re¬views have declared it to be the best con-

stitution in the American Union, and in-t-.iligent and well informed men every¬where are warm in their praise of itsmerits.That it will be proclaimed, the most

sanguine advocates of submission seemrow ready to admit, so overwhelmingdoes the sentiment of the Democraticpeople of ,the State appear, to be in favorof that course.Without any. apparent effort on the;

part of -those who have all along fa-vcred constitutional reform, the rank andlile of the Democratic party in a greatmany counties and cities, have gottentogether and demanded that their re¬

spective representatives vote for proc¬lamation, though in some sections bitteropposition has. developed among" theofficeholders and politicians. This wasnotably true in Nelson County, where, ledby Senator Bland ¿lassie, who made a

vigorous attack upon the suffrage clause,the opponents of the constitution couldmuster but thirty-five votes, while thosewho favored proclamation, and had car¬

ried on the fight for reform from its in¬ception, had in round numbers, three-hundrecT and forty.

FQR PROCLAMATION.Meetings held so far in the following

counties, cities, and towns of the Statehave declared in favor of proclamation:Accomac, Albemarle. Bedford, Bruns¬wick, Powhatan, Gloucester, Halifax,Richmond, Louisa. Mecklenburg, Mont¬gomery, Nelson. Prince Edward, PrinceWilliam. Russell, Danville, Criarlottes-ville, Berkley, Caroline. Scott, Chester¬field, Botetourt, -and Buckingham.Only the' counties of Henry, Shenan-

doah. and Warwick have declared "forsubmission. The counties of Fauquier,Nottoway, Culpeper, and Charlotte are

known to be overwhelmingly for procla¬mation, but conditions arose in eachwhich prevented any action. In Fau-ouier and Charlotte the opponents of theConstitution are said to have adoptedfilibustering tactics to prevent actionwhen they discovered they were inminority by long odds. In a great manycounties and cities where no action willbe taken, both the'people and their rep¬resentatives are for proclamation, andthe latter will so vote in thé convention.The proposition to submit to the abridgedelectorate is the weakest of the three,and will doubtless go down first. Thenthe great.battle between the proclama¬tion and the general submission forceswill be joined, and the former will winout, for nearly every delegate who favorssubmission to the abridged elee forate isopposed to allowiner the negroes to passupon their own disfranchisement, andwill therefore ultimately vote in favorof proclamation.

DANIEL· HELD THEM OFF.But for the earnest plea of Senator

T«anI<M at Campbell Courthouse on Mon-rlav his people would have declared forproclamation. He said in hi«* speech thathe knew the sentiment of the county lohe overwhelmingly that way. hut hebegged the ma«=s-meetip>T to defer doinsrthe th'ng which, he said, would embar-«-^Rç'him hefore the people of the State.The proclamation peonie made a greatsweep on Monday. Indeed, everv day on

member be present and voting when thequestion comes up for final determina¬tion. At least five or six other membersare known to favor proclamation, whodo not care to publicly announce the factat this time, and with those who will beinstructed in the meantime, and the ac¬cessions which will surely come from theabridged electorate ranks on the. finalround up, there is hardly any reasonableground for doubt as to the ultirimte re¬sults.

SOME GREAT LEADERS.Now that the work of the great ¡men

who framed Virginia's new organic lawis practically over, and the instrumentis about to become effective, the publicmind is beginning to pick out the leaders,and accord them the credit to which theyare respectively entitled. The name ofJohn Goode, the "grand old man fromBedford," who occupied and'adorned thechair through all the lifdjts and shad¬ows that have fallen ac oss the pathwayof the convention, in its long and arduousjourney to the goal just reached, willhave a high place in Virginia's history,as long as there shall be a page uponwhich, to record the glory of man, orthe admiration of a people, and whenthis generation shall have passed awáy.men yet unborn, will tel' their prattlingchildren the beautiful story or his life,and teach them to lisp his name inpraise.Tne impartial historian .will accord ..o

the Hon. Eugene Withers, of the cityof Danville, the title of the "Father ofthe Constitution," for it was his greatmind that in the Senate of Virginia-years before others had dreamed of itsnecessity.moulded and brought forth'thescheme which has now been so admirablyworked out by himself and his colleaguesin the convention.The name of Carter Glass, _of the city

of Lynchburg, will be forever associatedwith the settlement of the great suffrageproblem, which means the eternai free¬dom of the thought and energies of thewhite people of this State, and that theirnecks shall be no- longer galled by theyoke fastened upon them by merciless,aliens, who came hither but to feastupon their extremities and the spoils ofwar. It was this man bfi mind who,though not a member of the committee,and who during much of the session ofthe. convention, lay languishing on a bedof affliction, yet who finally brought in theplan adopted, which settles the vexedquestion once for all and at the sametime obviates the necessity, for a perma¬nent understanding clause, .which it wasclaimed would reduce the rank Jand fileof the white 'race to a condition of politi¬cal selfdom, and promote "bossism" and"machine; politics" from one end of theState to the other.

BRAXTON'S FINE WORK.Upon no less í high a plane than this

does the Hon. Allen Caperton Braxton,of the county of Augusta, stand bpforp

the people of the State. "When he wa* fnamed by President Goode to head ths {Corporation Committee, It ywàs freelysaid that he was "up against the realthing." and that his -fro*-]*-'· in ..this linewould surely come to naught. But fornigh unto six months b7 day and sixmonths by night, he toiled and strug¬gled down amid the catacombs of theCapitol until finally In the"midst of win¬ter he brought forth a report, signed byevery member of his committee, whichwas ultimately adopted by the conven¬tion and which is cai'ed perhaps tho mostcomplete and useful ordinance on the sub¬ject of corporations in any Constitutionin the United States.But the Convention is fairly crowded

with great men and to treat of even themore striking parts they have taken inthe splendid work of the bo<3y. wou'dbe a task far ;too delicate for the~ writerand would require more space than canbe given here and now.Among others who have borne conspic¬

uous parts in the work, and who havrjbeen able-and earnest advocates of con¬stitutional reform at every stage of theproceedings of the Convention are: Messrs.Ayres. Barbour. Boaz. Dunaway, Eggles-ton. Fairfax, B. T. and R. L. Gordon.Green. Gregory, Hunton, Ingram, Clag-gett B. Jones. Keezell. Kendall, Lind¬say, Mcllwaine. Meredith. R. WaltonMoore. Parks, Stebbins.

Leif the Lucky.At the time of tha World's Fair, when

a leading attraction was Leif Ericsson'sViking ship, there was considerable dis¬

cussion as to the correct pronunciationof the daring explorer's first name

Many archaeologists were very explicitin calling him "Leef" and as many otherswho claimed to know were equally care¬

ful to pronounce it "Life." And now

e»'ery one who is reading "Tfeé Thrallof Leif the Lucky" is very uncertainwhich to do. But the young authorof this Viking romance, who comes from

Norwegian ancestors, and who has studiedthe subject most of her life, favors the

second pronunciation, which ought tosettle the matter.

Closing Days of Exposition.The South Carolina Inter-State and

West Indian Exposition will have but twomore weeks of stirring existence. Bornof the far-seeing enterprise of a few pa¬triotic men, nursed to maturity by theirunceasing toil and self sacrificing, in theface of a thousand obstacles, and in spiteof doubt and criticism to those familiarwith its board scope and minute detail,its architectural grandeur and Its in¬finite variety of exhibits, its scant treas¬ury and its abundant achievement in allthat constitutes an Exposition, it is themarvel of the industrial history of ourcountry. Even its projectors dreamed notof so »great an achievement.
