TAz1WI1LL VA, September 23,--Judgei
l.. r. Lewis, Republican nominee for
Governor, spoke to a fairly good sized
audience in the courthouse here this
afternoon. Judge Lewis began his speech
OF IN hour and q half by saying that
gigantic frauds had been pcrpetrated by
the Democratic party upon the people Of
the State for the last twenty years. Tho
strength OF Democracy to-day, he slid
is fraud at the ballot box.
GIVE us, said Judge Lewis, "a fair
election In November, and tho result
will be all onc-sided west Of the Blue
Ridge ana even east Of the Blue Ridge
we need not fear the result. The record
OF the Democratic party Is such that 1
seriously think, so help me God. the
people OF this State should repudiate,
The affairs OF the State have been ad-
miniatered for the last twenty years, not
In tho interest OF the people, but In the
interest OF q small oligarchy OF machine
politicians #5 Vi,
}1n speaking OF the charge which Mr.
Montague brought against Mr. Martin. OF
having nothing to show for his work In
the United States Senate. Judge Lewis
said nobody expects Virginia to have
any weight IN tho councils OF the nation,
and that she mover will have until she
turns her back upon the Democratic
party. sJs vs.
Judge Lewis touched upon national Is
sues only to say that the policies of the
Republican, party are responsible for the
great development Sof the country in
general, and OF Southwest Virginia In par
tticular. and that this country never would
have been what It is to-day II Mr.. Bryan
had been elected to the presidency. The
speaker read from Mr.. Swansons speech
at Hanover, in which It was charged that
tho nominees of the Roanoke convention
were extreme radical Republicans who
adhered to that party all during the years
1T was prepetratlng outragcs and dlsgraces
upon this State, and that these Infamous
excuses had never shocked their con-
Sciences nor lost to that party their sup
port ,tand replied that 1t was Infamous to
charge him With being responsible for re-
construction outrages. III .5sFs
The speech was listened to with re-.
spectful attention but created no en-

A Stitch ef Pain.

A stitch is a sharp. spasmodic pain
In the muscles Of the side like the
piercing Of a needle and is very apt to
be produced II exercise is taken i'm
medlately after hearty meal This
arises because the nervous energy nee
essary for the proper working OF the
muscles in exercise IS engaged in an
other dlrection-namely, in assistiAg
the digestion Of the food. Anything
that interferes with the proper sup
ply Of nervous energy required for ex-
ereise whether 1t be debility or the
process Of digestion or exhaustion aris-
lRg from overexertlen, is apt to cause
this spasmedic pain.

A QUEER CHANDELIER.


II IL Made Of Human Bones and
Hangs In Church.
In the cen1pr If the arclled roof Of
All Saints church, Sedlbz, IN Bohe-
mia. bangs a chandelier constructed en'
tirely Of human bones The church In
which this remarkable object Is sus-
pended Is decorated from the floor to
the ceiling with the blanchGl bones
OF human bodies. Garlands Of bones
stretch across the walls and hang
FROM tbs cailiHg. Pyramids. topped
with golden crowns, are artisticary
reared from the ground with these
whltened remains Of the dead. The
alt,gs are literally covered with skulls,
among which are hundreds Of those
which had been pieBced by bullets or
crushed by murderJus blows from
swords and other WEAPONS, denoting
that these grim relics Sf humanity
have been gathered from adjacent bat
tlefields.
Tradition says that these piles of hu-
man bones were gathered by a blind
frlar Of the Cistercian srdSr, who
stored them in a corner OF the church.
As they were fast changing into their
original elements, a man named Rint
devoted himself to the task OF cleaning
and arranging them in the ehuEch.
Prince Carl OF Schwarzenberg took a
strong personal interest In the restora-
ton and arrangement Of the ehurch
and ordered all the repairs TO be done
at his own expense. A large number
OF tourists visit this extraordinary
church every year.-London Tit-Bits.

Tn. ArchinE Yucca Tree.

In the antelope valley of California
grows the strangest yucca tree OF all
ifhe western desert. The yucca is a
tree not given to whIms. II has been
described by Van Dyke as having "a
tall stalk rising like a shaft from a
bowl and capped at the top by nodding
creamy flowers" But the strange arch
Ing yucca has made itself famous by
It's curious form. Nobody watched Il
grow. All that Is known about It is
that II has two roots, its great stalk
or trunk describing a graceful arch,
rooted firmly into the ground at each
end. At the top Of the arch a great
branch. like an extended arm, shoots
forth as IL pointing out the way. The
arch Is 30 high that a tallyho coach
could easily pass under 1t.

They We're Taken From the Holy
Land 20 Venice In II2o.
Two memorable granite Nlumns,
known as the columns of 81 Mark,
brought from the Holy Land in 1120
and standing In front of the quay and
landing steps OF the Plazzeta, have
been associated with the fortunes OF
Venice for many years.
At FIRST they lay PROSTATE for n long
time, while no one would undertake
TO raise them. But a reward offered
by the doge at length induced one
Nicolo Barratiero (Nick the Blackleg)
to offer his services. He succeeded
and claimed as his reward the privilege
OF carrying on between the columns
games of chance, elsewhere prohibited
by law. To neutralize this as much as
possible It was enacted that all public
executions should take place on the
same spot.
One column is surmounted by the
LION OF st. Mark. The other carries
a fine figure Of st. Theodore, the pa
iron saint Of the city. who stands upon
crocodile and with sword and buc-
kler gives token that the motto of Ven
Ice is Defense. Not Dehance."-Lon-
