To the Editor of The Evening Star: In yesterday's issue of your paper I saw a communication in which persons recent- ly vaccinated were recommended to wear on an outer garment, and above the vac- cination mark, a V-shaped chevron of con- spicuously colored cloth—the chevron to be worn until the pustule had dried up and departed. Such a scheme would doubtless do well enovgh during the hours of day- light, but would be more or less of a failure at night. It would therefore seem to be in order to suggest that those suffering the pains of Inoculation should elther be re- quired or advised to carry colored lanterns at night-red lanterns for the men and green for the women; carried on the arm if the vaccination is there, in the hand if not. Identification of the newly-vaccinat- ed would then be easy at all hours, while the laraps would add materially to the bril- liancy of this city’s thoroughfares. L. M. P.

The Congressional Contest in the Metropolitan Districts, A LIVELY TIME IN THE BOWERY Where Republicans Hope to Gain Next Tuesday. MR. QUIGG’S HARD FIGHT es Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, October 29, 1804. There will probably be more than one re- publican member of the House from this city in the next Congress, But that one may not be Congressman Quigg. Young Mr. Quigg has a harder fight on his hands than when he was elected at the special election. He has a different kind of an op- ponent against him. Then he ran against Col. William L. Brown. At that time Brown leaned toward Clevelandism, and did not think much of Tammany. But he wanted to go to Congress very badly. So he was willing to overlook everything and gratefully accept a Tammany nomination. There was a great deal of surprise ex- pressed at the time of Brown's nomination by those who knew what his relations with Temmany were, and there were “plenty of dark hints that Tammany had nominated him for the purpose of deserting him at the polls and teaching him a lesson. At any rate Brown was beaten in a district that has always been heavily democratic, and there has always been a suspicion in many minds that Tammarty shed no tears over his defeat. This time Quigg has for bis opponent John Connolly, an ex-as- semblyman, who goes by the name of “Honest John.” At the start the Grace democracy had a candidate in that dis- trict, but he has been withdrawn, and it is a clear fight between Quigg and Con- nolly. The democratic candidate ts popular and a shrewd politician, while Quigg is making a harder fight than he did in Janu- ary, and the result in that district is in doubt. Col. Richard C. Shannon, the republican candidate in the thirteenth district, seems to have a good chance of election, and would be certain of being sent to Wash- ington if he were running against anybody else. His orponent is Congressman Amos J. Cummirgs, and a hard man to beat under any circumstances. Shannen is a veteran politician and has a national repu- tation. He ts conducting the liveliest kind ef a campaign. But Cummings has the greatest personal popularity of any of New York’s Congressmen, This year, however, he is handicapped by not being among his old friends. A queer turn on the Tammany switch-board put him tn a_new district, where he bad to start out and make friends all over again. There is also another demo- cratic candidate in the field here, which hurts Cummings. Both sides are making a very hot fight, one of the warmest in the city, end if Shannon is beaten it will be because of Cummings’ hold upon the labor vote. In the Bowery. Decidedly the most picturesque fight in the city is down in the Bowery district. It is without doubt the most picturesque con- test that is being waged for a seat in Con- gress anywhere in the country. ‘There are three candidates, all of them characters that can be found nowhere else than on the Bowery. Tammany decided to throw Con- gressman ‘im Campbell over. Campbell pleaded with the rulers of Tammany Hall to let him go back to Washington, but the n had hearts of stone and told ‘Tim that neThust stay at home. ‘They, hinted at some city office that might be his in the future, but this did not satisfy the soul of the pic- turesque Timothy J. He resolved to run anyway and started out in search of the republican indorsement. But there was a republican, a typical Bowery republican, who had set his heart upon the nomination, Johnnie Simpson by name, quite as much of a character in his way as Campbell. He is popular on the Bowery, and when the republican conven- tion met he had things all fixed. His friends rushed hts nomination through with a vengeance, and without having allowed the delegates a chance either to vote or ex- press their opinion, the chairman, a friend of Simpson's declared that Johnnie had been nominated, and that the convention was adjourned sine die. But even this did not discourage Tim. He got together part of the republican convention the next night and had them indorse him. Then there was a legal quarrel to see whether Tim or Johnnie should go on the official ballot as the regular republican nominee. First the matter went to the board of po- lice commissioners. But the commissioners split even, when it came to a decision, the two republican commissioners voting for “ampbell and the two democrats for Simp- son. Then Campbell and Simpson went to the courts, and here Simpson won a victory. But as fast as one judge decided in John- nie’s favor, Tim would appeal to another judge, until after he had his case thrown out of court four times in one day he de- sisted. Then he got the indorsement of the Grace democracy and started his campaign. In the meantime the Tammany men had met and nominated Harry Miner of theatri- cal and Bowery fame. For fifteen years Miner has had a seat in Congress in Viev He has contributed liberally to Tammany's bank account and Tammany promised him two years ago that in 1804 he should be the nominee. But Johnnie and Tim have raised the cry that Harry is a “carpet bagger” and does not live in the district—a very for- midable cry down on the Bowery—for be- fore this that district has defeated men who tried to run for office there while they lived somewhere else. In Miner's case it is true. Of late years he has lived up on Madison avenue, in a big house on a corner. In the days when he used to stroll along 5th avenue, dressed in a bright blue frock sult, with white gaiters, a red and white shirt, brili.antly-hued tie and silk hat, he lived down in the Bowery section. ‘But afterward he discarded part of this attire and removed his residence from the place where “they say such things and they do such things.” A campaign between these three men fs like a perpetual picnic. As an offset to the cry of “carpet bagger” Miner is going around the district pointing the finger of scorn at Campbell, because Tim went to Washington to find a wife, instead of taking a partner from the Bowery. Johnnie Simp- son is holding barbecues and similar festi- vals for hungry voters, and Tim and Harry are making nightly tours of the Bowery, shaking hands, slapping backs and kissing babies. Nobody can tell how it will all end. ‘The Bowery voters cannot be depended up- on until after they have cast their ballots. ‘They are for each of the candidates in turn, and cling until election day to the places where the spreads are served. Whatever the outcome, Congress is sure of a pictur- esque figure from the Bowery district. Another Republican Hope. Another place where the republicans hope to gain a Congressman is in the district now represented by Isidor Straus. The re- publicans realize thoroughly the strength of the democracy in the district, which in past years dropped into the ballot boxes enough Tammany votes to run up a plural- Castoria For Infants and Children. CASTORIA DESTROYS WORMS. CASTORIA CURES CONSTIPATION. CASTORIA ALLAYS FEVERISHNESS. CASTORIA CURES DIARRHOEA AND COLIC. CASTORIA RELIEVES TEETHING TROUBLES. CASTORIA PREVENTS VOMITING SOUR CURD. “The use of ‘Castoria’ is so universal and its merits so well known that It seems a work of supererogation to indorse it. Few are the intelli- gent families who do not keep Castoria within easy reach.” CARLOS MARTYN, D.D., New York city. Sigrist, who ran against Straus, reduced these figures to 4,700, add he was not re- garded as an especially, strong candidate. Now the democrafie vbte is split. The Grace democracy has one of its strongest men in the field, Col. Robert Grier Monroe, and that organization will make strenuous efforts in behalf of 4ts young leader. Tam- many’s candidate, Senator Jacob A. Can- tor, is not strong With the police, whose interests he is si, not to have cherished so tenderly as he sfiould ‘while in the sen- ate. The republicans have put up a strong man, Philip B. Low, a ship rigger by trade, and ‘the man who organjzed the naval re- serve and was its first commander. He is very popular in the dist¥ict and seems to stand a good chance of Hefeating Cantor. Ex-Speaker William: Stlzer is the Tam- many nominee in the eleventh district, and is a sure winner. He Js gne of Tammany’s pets, and by Shrewd management has got himself indorsed by the Grace men. He is making a vigorous pefsonal fight, too. His republican opponent- is ex-Congressman Ferdinand Eldman. The only hope that the republicans have is that the labor vote will go to them. This district has suffered heav- Sly from the hard ‘times, and many of its voters have been thrown out of work. The republicans are conducting their campaign on these lines, but are only hopeful even then. vT Fight Against Sickles. There is a strong fight being made against Gen. Dan Sickles. The republican candidate who 1s making it is Andrew J. Campbell. He comes from good old High- land stock and came to this country when a boy. His friends tell how young Camp- bell was given a “start in life” by a well- wishing uncle. The “start” consisted in “a moral lecture and twenty-five cents, which his uncle bestowed upon the boy, and then left him on a corner down town to hustle for himself. Campbell has al- ways been a good republican, and has served in the state legislature. He is at the head of one of the largest architectural {ron works in the country, and boasts that in all the twenty-five years that he has been an employer of labor he has never reduced the wages of any of his men. ‘There is a third democratic candidate in the field here, anda big fight ts being made ainst Gen. Sickles. “tMnrough demceratie discord and third cendidates, the republicans think that they have a chance this year in Bourke Cock- ran’s district. After Cockran refused to run the democrats selected Colonel Geo. B. McClellan, the young president of the board of aldermen, and who, if elected, will be one of the youngest members of the next Congress. McClellan is tired of the company he is in in the board of aldermen and prefers the more respectable society of Congress. His name will help him a great deal, but the Grace candidate, Geo. Walton Green, is a good politician and vote getter and will cut into the demo- cratic. vote, The republican candidate is Robert A. Chesebrough, a millionaire man- ufacturer’ of vaseline, who knows little about politics, but who has good campaign managers. ‘Now that Congressman Dunphy has withdrawn as an independent democratic candidate in the eighth district the Tam- many man will probably have an easy eiec- tion. This is John J. Walsh, a lawyer, and one of the men whom Hill tried to get to withdraw in the interests of har- mony. The republican opponent, who is fighting hard against Walsh, is J. Murray Mitchell, a young man, and the brother of United States District Attorney Edward Mitchell. Dunphy is now out for Walsh, and his friends will undoubtedly support the Tammany man, The republicans gre ‘aging an uphill fight against Cong? n Franklin Bart- lett. ‘Their nomined 1s Austin E. Ford, the son of Patrick Ford, ‘the editor of’ the Catholic World. Thijs district has a heavy democratic ao but this year there 1s more republican 'fope,"inasmuch as there is a three-cornered fight, John Murphy having been put forw by the Grace democracy. Still, Mr. Bartlett will proba- ! bly get back all right. | AFFAIRS IN. ALEXANDRIA Effort to Get the Duké Tobacco Company to Move Thejr Plant. te { A called meeting of the board of trade was held yesterday evening at their rooms cn King street, Mr. F.“A. Reed presiding. ‘the object, as stated by Mr. Reed, was to consider what inducement the city of Alex- andria could offer the Duke Manufacturing Company of Durham, N. C., to locate here, it having been ascertained that a movement to some suitable point on deep water was contemplated by them. A full discussion of the subject was had, and the advantage of bringing them here set forth by several members. A committee of four, consisting of Chas. King, A. H. Thompson, A.

HELPFUL AND SUGGESTIVE ADDRESSES A Large Attendance and Much Enthusiasm Manitested. LIST OF DELEGATES The second session of the convention of the Sunday School Union of the District was held this morning in the Sunday school house of the Calvary Baptist Church. Last evening the opening session of the convention took place in the First Congregational Church, but the three ses- sions of today and the three of tomorrow, concluding the convention, will be held in the beautiful and commodious apartment which has recently been built for the use of the Sabbath school of the Calvary Church. ‘Yhere was a fair proportion of the three hundred and more delegates occupying the chairs which circle about the platform this morning when Mr. Pierson H. Bristow, the president of the convention, and to whose hard work and energy the success of the convention is largely due, opened the ses- sion with devotional exercises. ‘There were no special decorations, for, in fact, the quiet beauty of the room did not need any additional adornment. On the walls were suspended small placards giving interesting statistics of the importance of the Sunday school work. Small banners scattered throughout the room indicated, in @ general way, the location of the dele- resident P. H. Bristow. gates. By the time the convention had fairly gotten to work the room was well filled, and as the large attendance indicat- ed, the proceedings were of great interest as well as of practical importance to those engaged in Sunday school work. Rev. Mr. Stakely’s Address, After singing prayer was offered by Mr. O. B. Brown, and then the first speaker, Rev. Charles A. Stakely, D.D., the pastor of the First Baptist Church, was introduced by President Bristow. Dr, Stakely’s theme was “The Bible in the Class.” He said that the present series of Sunday school lessons encouraged the use of the Bible in the class. He thought that it was the book for such a purpose, both in the hands of the scholars ana the teachers. The Bible was the center of all teaching in the Sun- day school. its presence means that the entire life of the class gathers about. Then its use in the class throws light on the context. He cited several instances showing how the meaning of texts had been misinter- preted when taken from their context. ‘Then there was the epistle to Hebrews, which is a complete book, the speaker said, and no text can be taken from it and explained unless there is a familiarity with the en- tire book. In speaking of the Sunday school les- sons, he said it was a magnificent con- ception to have all the schools in the coun- try studying the same portion each Sab- bath. The lesson system was an excellent one, but the epeaker insisted on the im- portance of using the Bible in connection with the study. Dr. Stakely said further that the use of the Bible in the class taught the young how to use the Bible. He believed in what was known as the local memory. He liked to know the very page, the very connec- tion tn which a verse appeared. The Bible should be a tool, a working instrument in the hands of the teacher, the very sword of the spirit. In addition to the other considerations mentioned, the speaker sald that such a use of the book enabled the teacher to hold up Christ as its life, Its spirit, its genius. If this conception is missed, mere verbal knowledge of the book does not gly the true results. In the work of the class room, Dr, Stake- ly maintained, Jesus Christ should be made paramount. Tenchers’ Meetings. An address on teachers’ meetings was de- livered by Rev. James A. Worden of Phil- adelphia. He stated at the outset that his remarks would be confired to the results of his practical experience, and he invited the delegates to interrupt him at any time with questions designed to make clear what he was saying. He said that he conducted a large teachers’ meeting in Philadelphia. Upon inquiry the speaker found that there were present In the audience before him eleven leaders of such meetings, and a further question showed that all present were Sunday school teachers. The speaker then emphasized the need of preparation of the lesson. The firet feature was the preparation of self, eo that the body and mind were not fatigued. The soul must be filled with the love of God in order that the lesson be properly taught. Then there must be a knowledge of the lesson, which should include the preparation to teach. As the Maj. C. H. Carrington, Vice President. housekeeper may have the elements of a dinner in the house, but unless she knows also how to cook her preparation is not a very practical one. So it 1s with the teacher. He then enumerated the elements of the preparation, which included an intro- duction, a plan, questions, illustrations, applications. He advised the teachers to prepare the lesson, pen in hand. Unless what one knows be put down in black and white, it cannot be talked off. He laid spe- clal emphasis on the tmportance of ques- tions. He said that he carefully prepared his questions, writing them out. He ad- vised teachers to get up their own plans, instead of taking one that was prepared by some one else. An original plan might not be as good as those found in the Sunday schogl papers, but there would be a gradual improvement. The speaker urged his hearers to remem- ber in their illustrations and in their analy- sis that it is the word of God. The teacher should go to their classes the bearers of a message from God. Mr. Woodward's Address. ‘A talk on graded schools was given by Mr. W. Redin Woodward. He sald that the present ideal of graded schools was a pri- mary department,an intermediate, a junior, a senior and a home department or normal class. He added that he did not advocate this graded system as given above, but AMUSEMENT HALLS. ATTORNEYS ... AUCTION SALES. BOARDING ... BUSINESS CHANCES. CITY ITEMS. COMMISSION COUNTRY REAL ESTATE.

Instead of telling the teachers present how to manage a graded school he would tell them an experience of a Sunday school scholar. *He then, in the first person, told the story of the experience of a child who began to go to Sunday school at four years of age. In this realistic form of presenting his theme the speaker managed to weave in a number of practical comments and sug- gestions on methods of Sunday school work. The field secretary of the international association, Mr. William Reynolds, was in- troduced to the convention. He said that there were several reasons why he wanted to come to this city. One reason was he wanted to see this building, as it was his business to see the best things as well as to meet with the best people. This building was the best in the country, and hence, in the world. He predicted that it would be an object lesson. It would be said in all Sunday school gatherings that in Wash- ington was the finest building for the pur- pose in the country, and people would come here to see it, and there would be an effort to come up to the advance step which this building represented. .He said that he had just come from New England, where he found the Sunday school work was behind that in the “wild and woolly west.” He spoke of denominational co-operation and its importance in reaching the masses. School Records, The speaker then reached his theme, which was school records, and said that it might seem to be a dry subject, but on the contrary he thought that it was not. He drew on the board a model Sunday school record, which showed the presence or absence of scholars, whether he has learned his lesson and brought a contribu- tion. He maintained that these were facts which the superintendent should know. Ua- less there was some rd the school lacked a vital feature of organization. He said that in his school he had a committee which visited during the week the scholars who were absent on the previous Sabbath. This had a stimulating effect on the at- Dr. D. P. Hickling, Treasurer. tendance, as it was a mark of interest which the scholars appreciated. As an illustration of the need of organi- zation, assigning each one to his work, he told an amusing story of a woman who wanted to do some charitable work and finally concluded to visit a hospital. The first patient did not seem to need anything and the woman finally said: “Well, can’t I wash your faee?” “Yes, you can,” said the sick one wearily, “but there have been three or four ladies here this morning and they each washed my face. But you can do it again.” He then went on to emphasize the im- portance of following the scholars, and a great aid in this direction, he said, was a record book properly kept. Mr. Wight om Finances. How to obtain Sunday school finances and how to distribute them was the topic of a practical address by Mr. John B. Wight. He maintained that the church should sup- port the school and the money contributed by the children ought not to be used for school expenses. The school is a depart- ment of the church, not a barnacle. It is a source of increase to the church, and for this reason the support of the Sunday school was profitable to the church. The children are invited to attend the school and ought not to be taxed for doing so. The development of the Christian grace of giv- ing was another important reason why the funds given by the scholars should be used for other purposes than the support of the school. He urged that the money should be given to missions or some other object, and the children kept informed as to the dispo- sition of their contributions. He believed that there were churches that were not willing.to support the school, but he hardly believed that there were any churches that could not. He thought that thé proper amount for the support of the school was $1_per scholar. In answer to a question relative to the proportion of the scholars in his school that gave money, Mr. Wight said that in the school he was formerly superintendent of every scholar gave something, and the way it was done was by keeping the scholars interested in some object. Rev. Dr. Domer, the pastor of the English Lutheran Church, sald that every scholar in the Sabbath school of his church gave something, and the average was 7 1-2 cents each. He raid that they did not recognize any difference in the money given in the school and the church; it came from the same source. The Sabbath school money was used for general purposes, and also for the needs of the school. Mr. Wight said that he had differed pleasantly with Dr. Domer on this question on previous occasions,and still differed from him. He then went on to speak of the im- portance of having the child give its own inoney, instead of being the mere medium between the school and the parent. Mr. ‘Redin Woodward spoke of the in- crease in the collection in his school by encouragii.g the children to give their own money. Mr. Needham’s Remarks. The superintendent's review was the theme of an address by Mr. C. W. Need- ham. He spoke of the review as coming the last thing in the session of the school before the singing as the clinching of the nail. He then spoke of the influence of such a review in character building an: said that this should be the object of the superintendent. The spiritual lesson taught should be solely brought out in the re- view. Further, the speaker said, the re view should b2 free from the unnatural. He thought that they should have in it some encouragement. He urged tat the superintendents should convey in their part- ing words a message that would be help- ful in the every-day life and stimulatin, to a higher and nobler conception of life.
