Virginia Democrats,
Meeting Of State Committee in Rich
mond.
THE IRREev1ARs IGNORED.
All Contests Decided In Favor Of the
Regulars-Govsrnor Tyler Does
Not Admit Being Defeated.

Richmond, Va, Sept 2S. The irreg-
ular or independent legislative candi-
dates received cold comfort at the hands
of the Democratic State Committee
today. All of the contests adjudicated
by that body were decided in favor of
the regulars. 1t is true that in the
Isle Of Wight and Shenandoah cases.
the first of which involved the legality
of the Senatorial and the House, and
the latter the House nominations. the
independents declined to submit their
cases to the committee. Like the
Charlotte contests. these were decided
in favor of the nominees recognized by
the old party machinery Of the respec-
tive counties.
The most interesting contest was
that Of Senator Boykin, Of Isle of
Wight, against DR. Shands. who op.
posed the former for denomination.
Isle Of Wight is the home county of
Colonel Day. Senator Martins father
in-law. 1t was conceded from the
opening of the campaign that Senator
Boykin and Mr.. Martin other friends
would easily win down there. When
the day of the mass meeting came
around, however, the Tyler people
turned out in full force and. they
claimed, developed majority. The
contest has, therefore, attracted very
general attention The committee de-
cided in favor of Boykin.
The next in interest was the House
contest in Charlotte, where DR.. Priddy
was opposed by Mr.. Rice. DR.. PIiddy
was q member Of the House at the SEES
sion Mr.. Martin defeated General Lee.
and supported the former. The fight up
there has been hard one. During the
discussion today before the committee
in this case. Mr.. Bouldin made state

the courthouse, at which the election
Of Mr. Monroe to the county chairman
ship was claimed TO have been made
He said in reply to question that ne
considered DR.. Priddy the only nomi-
nee, but Congressman Swanson elected
the information that it was remotely
possible that another meeting might
hereafter be called to put up a nominee
other than DR.. Priddy, The speaker
predicted that events would take place
hereafter in Charlotte county which
would cause the Danville riot to pale
into insignificance if the committee
drives the real Democracy from the
party.

In POLITICS.
The Knights Of Labor to Take an Act
i've Part in Discussing and De-
Gliding Public Questions.

NEW YORK, November PA spec
ial to the Times from Washington says:
John w. Hayes, general secretary of
the Knights OF Labor, who has returned
to this city from Boston, said that the
Knights are going to abandon their
time honored custom of taking no part
in politics.
THE course of public events, he
said, "has forced the order to change
its views and to abondon its old policy
of political lethargy. 1t has been re-
solved to take an active part in poll
tics OF the country and to formulate a
plan whereby political questions will be
discussed and decided. The discussions
will be non-partisan entirely, and the
influence and strength of the order will
be given to that party which comedies
with and espouses the same view of
matters as the order.
"The organization resolved, further
more, to establish at the headquarters
of the order a school of civics and
social and political science, history,
oratory and composition in order that
young men may qualify themselves at
nominal cost to intelligently and ably
promulgate and defend Knights of
Labor principles and study the prob
lens of the present and the future with
the aid of all that history and science
can bring to their assistance.
'sThe school is to be established in
Washington. All the work of the stu
dents will be carried on at home and
will be directed by correspondence"

4 Modern Application Of the Famous
Epigram, "Frailty. Thy Name
is Woman

It is curious fact that the word faint
lis derived from a French word mean
ing to pretend. The word feint, mean
ing a deceptive movement as by the
boxer or swordsman, has the same der
avation. So that originally a woman
who fell forward in Inconsistencies
was merely one who feigned illness. But
there is no feigning in that sudden fail
ure of the vital power which blanches
the cheek, closes the eyes. seems to
stop the breath and sends the woman an
Inert mass upon the counter at which
she is shopping. Painting is very real
for the sufferer who cannot go to ball
or theatre without this liability to sud
den Inconsistencies, menaclng her en-
joyment and safety.
Why do women faint? Women them
selves would in this advanced age of
progress be the first to deny the charge
of physical frailty. They run and row,
they swim and ride, they golf and shoot
side by side with men. And yet they
faint. You rarely hear of mans
Painting. Such a thing is so uncommon
as to partake Of the nature of phe-
nomenon. Why don't men faint? Why
can a weak framed, understood man go
through life without fainting, when a
splendid woman, Diana for beauty
and courage, must know the humilla-
