Knights OF T.: Dor Convention.

RICHMOND, Oct. 1.-The tenth annual
convention OF the Knights Of Labor of the
United tates was called to order here to-
day by I. y. Powaerly, Master Workman.
About one thousand delegates were present.
Shortly after the convention had been called
to order General Fizhugh Lee Governor
Of Virginia, entered. As he walked up the
central aisle leading to the platform escorted
by William II. Mullen, Master Workman

siastic cheers which redouhled as he stood

greeting. When tho applause had subsidized

Lee to Mr.. Powdetly, the latter stepped for.
ward and introduced him to the members,
announcing that Governor Lee was to de.
liver To them an address of welcome and
through them to those they represented
throughout the entire country. When the
applause that again broke forth at the men
ton OF his namo permitted him to do so,
Governor Lee proceeded to address the as
semb:aga. The Governor accorded q hearty
welcome to the delegates aad their friends,
and cGunselled the order TO keep out CT
politics, saying there he'd never yet in the
history OF the country been room for the
third party. In abiding to capitalists the
Governor said there was ore form of organ

were not such. Many were phianthropists

little extent. The rights of both capitalists
and laborers would be protected in this
country, but he denounced employers who
closed the factories and compelled hundreds
TO be idle in order to bring few cb-
durato hands to terms, and equally
denounced associations of capitalists
who aimed to accomplish the same
result But said they have right to exer-

J. RE7ELL SrURGIs was pardoned last wesk
by Governor Lee out of the penitentiary for kill
ing Smith Mears in Accomac county. When the
train on which Sturgs returning home
reached Eastrille station Thomss G. Elliott and
John Mears, the brothcr-in- law and brother OF
the man whom Sturgis is said to have killed. got
on the train. AS soon as S:urgis saw them enter
the car in which he was seated he ran out at the
other end, and jumped of and took to the woods,
where he remained sll night Early tho next
morning a constable won't down with body
guard and escorted him homo. Messrs. Elliott
and Mcars did not mediate any personal violence
against Sturgis, aud their meeting with him on
tho train was purely accidental. Sturgis, it is
said, is anxious to sell out and move away.

AT A republican meeting in Richmond
last Friday night, one of the speakers, Mr..
Alley, said that ''as republican he was
willing to follow Mullen, a gray mule, or
ANYTHING else that would defeat the demo-
cratic candidate" Such expressions are
good for the democratic party, but bad for
the country, as they indicate that the men
who utter them have at least some backing;
and a nation is not safe that contains any
considerable number Of citizens who would
rather intrust its destiny to a'.mule than to
the wiscst man among the party under
whose control it grew and prospered for SO
MANY wears,

The old saying Nine tailers make a
man." is SO seldom correctly quoted that the
true reading and meaning is worth repro
duciug. The proper word, as above, is
'tailers," not 'taiors," as often written,
and its origin can be traced back several
centuries. Il was one 81 the customs, when
person died in tie parish, to toll the
church bell ouca for every yesr CT the de.

tell the sex of the departed, so the sexton,
to crafty public curiosity, after ringing in
the usual way the number Of years,
would give eight quick strokes if the

strokes for the years were called "taiers,"
and thus nine tailers made man,

WIDOW OF THE LATE a. T. STEwAET.

The richest widow in the United
States, occupant and owner OF five
million dollar house, and worth 1t may
be, thirty million dollars, is dead. She
was remarkably well preserved woman,
and the announcement of her death
gave q shock TO the public. The dis
ease which carried her of was an acute
attack of pneumonia. Her remains
have been laid IN the crypt Of the Cathe-
dral, Garden City, Long Island, tenn
pie erected by her bounty and given by
her TO the Protestant Episcopal Church.
s She was married to the late Alexander
7. Stewart when he was an obscure dry
goods clerk, twenty-five years old, aud
she year younger. That was II the
year 1924 Her social position was su-
perior to his then, she being the
daughter of james Clinch. New York
merchant OF good standing. Their
married life ended IN April, 1876, when
Mr. Stewart died, the leading dry
goods merchant Of the world. 1t IS
said that during the first ten years OF
her married life, Mrs. Stewart lived

luxury than were enjoyed by her SER

hood Mrs. Stewart leaves no children,
but a considerable number Of relatives.
She was a small. thin, intellectual
looking woman, sprightly IN her carriage
and address, in disposition sweet and
a1fectionate. A devout communicate
in the Protestant Episcopal Church,
she gave largely in support of religious
and philanthropic agencies. Her tastes,
naturally refined, were gratihed by the
means Of dress and surroundings the
most elegant. Even after she had
passed eighty years Of age, she adorned
herself with diamonds IN dressing for
dinner, and never neglected to make
the most of her decided natural attrac-
tons. A few years ago she began to
wear q brown wig, her snow-white hair
beginning to fall out. The reader can
Judge from the fact that she paid nine
thousand dollars in taxes last year,
how favored among women was Cor
