its name from its color, but this is mis-

not red nor yellow, but almost black. It's

THIRD PARTY LEADERS
Seem to Have Had Things Their Own
WaY-DemocraticM Members Think They
Were Not Treated Fairly.

The late Farmers Alliance Convention
did not adjourn until midnight on Thurs
day and its action naturally formed the
general topic Of conversation among the
politicians in this city yesterday.
It is the general opinion that the conven-
ton did not fairly represent the Farmers'Alli-
anoes Of this State. 1t is claimed that some Of
the leaders Of the Third party movement
laid their wires in such an adroit manner as
to secure the election of delegates to the
convention who are in sympathy with
them. In some instances II is said tina: the
delegates were only elected by a compare
lively few members ia the absence OF those
who are friendly TO the cause of the Demo
Gratis.
AsTAR AZ POSSIBLE.
THE very fact that the convention did not
dare 10 pass a resolution openly indOrsing
the Third party movement" said q promi-
nent Democrat yesterday, goes TO show
that they did not believe themselves 10 he
strong enough, and that they feared by
such an extreme measure 70 drive away
number OF the contributing members. They
went as far as they could 90 under the cir
cumstances when they voted to continue
the Virginia Sun as An Alliance paper"
The action OF Delegate WescOtt. of Acoo-
mac, who endeavored TO have a resolution
passed compelling the Alliance lecturers to
refrain from talking Third party politics
while in the pay OF the Alliance. meets with
general approval. II is expected that the
refusal Of the convention 20 pass the resolu-
ton will cause the disbandlng of good
many Alliances in Aocomac as well as in
other counties.
TIKI STATE LECTURER.
The change in the lecturer system is also
considered very significant. According TO
the decision of tho convention the several
Farmers Alliances will hereafter receive their
information through the State lecturer and
his three assistants instead of the district
lecturers, whose Office has been abolished.
Mr.. j. Haskins Hobson, the newly elected
State lecturer. Is an Outspoken Third party
man. for he told me himself that 81 the
coming election be would for the first time
during twenty-seyen years vote for the
peoples government.
MIR. Hobson has for some time past while
he was district lecturer Of the Alliance
made speeches in the interest of the Third
party, but he says that during that time
when no spoke in behalf of the Farmers Al
lance he did so without making any charge
for IL. The three assistant State lecturers,
+. p. Spangler Of Patrick county. Edward
/. Neberry Of Bland, and G. b. Blanton OF
Appomattox are said to be Republicans.
IL is said that il is the intention Of the
Third party to nominate Colonel Randolph
Harrison for Congress In the Tenth district.

WAYS OF WOMEN.

Salvation army women have been
forbidden to wear earrings.
The woman with the prettiest face is
not always the most beautiful.
Only those who have small feet
ought to wear light shoes, as they tend
to make the feet look very much larger
than they really are.
There are many true ladies, and they
differ somewhat from society generally.
So does u true gentleman, on the same
principle of refinement and nobility of
character.
In the city of l,uenos Ayres it is said
there are sixteen men for every woman,
and that any decently good-looking
woman that goes there can have her
pick out of 80 eager suitors. ~
To remove thirst the advice is given
to paint the tongues of fever patients
with glycerine; it will remove the SEN
sation of thirst and discomfort felt
when the organ is dry and foul.
A needle has been invented out of
which the thread will never slip while
sewing. The thread is fastened in the

In COnstantinople the Turkish wo-
men are eager to wear the costume of

The Ancient Legend That Tells How He

The Ancient Legend That Tells How He
slew the Dragon.
According to the popular legend.
st George who slew We dragon" was
born In the Fourth Century A. D.. in
Cappadocia. He became most val
liant knight at an early age Zone ac-
count says at IA. another at 18). and
visited Lydia when in the first flush OF
young manhood. At the time OF his
visit Silena one OF the Lybian cities
was being sorely tormented by a mon
ster dragon which poisoned the air
with its 6aleful breath. devoured
whole hocks and herds besides daily
demanding a child from among the
children of the citizens" The COM
mon people gave over their daclings
first but it finally came to the aris-
tocracy and at last TO the kings
household The kings daughter a
beautiful maiden had been promised
to the monster on certain day. When
the day arrived ST. George happened
to be riding past on his way to the
Holy LampilL shrine in the vicinity
OF the lake which the dragon used
rs its place OF abode He saw the
fair damsel weeping distractedly on
the lake shore. and knight-like
asked the cause OF her sorrows When
she had tod the woeful tale, he said:
Fear not will do battle against the
dragon" At that moment the waters
OF the lake were violently agitated and
in few seconds the horrid creature
appeared upon the beach and made
ready to devour its victim Quickly
the valiant George charged the loath-
some reptile, repeatedly wounding it
with his lance. In u few moments it
was entirely disabled by the fierceness
OF the charge and lay helpless on the
sand. When it had partially revived
St George took the damsel's girdle
and making it fast around the crea-
lures neck babe her lead it captive
into the city. Even in its helpless
condition it was greatly feared. 80
much so that George was counselled to
cut off its head with his sword. For
this brave deed he was canonized.

Each Age Its own Criterion.

The coarseness OF one age is not toll
Grated by the next. About resuscita-
ted, Napoleonic troupier discovered
this. There is progress in refinement,
although it is accompanied by cant
and false delicacy. But the suggestion
is this, and it is in a sense independent
of the question OF art and morals, or
the non-moral quality OF art: Every
generation has its rights, and among
them a right to protect itself against
anything it dislikes or that offends it.
1t does not concern itself much about
distractions, but it knows what in
huences best serve its ideas OF a better
life. On the whole, it is as good a
Judge OF what is good for it as the
more enlightened novelists. -Harper's
