Some dealers buy inferior grade Carpets and sell them cheap as “leaders.” When we offer you Carpet “leaders” it means that we are willing to sell you the very best quality Carpets way below their real value!

AFTERNOON AND EVENING The Jast day's meetings of the annual convention of the Disirict Sunday School Union, which, as the readers of The Star already know, began Monday, commenced this morning at. 9:45 o’clock at the First Congregational Church, with devotional exercises and Bible reading, conducted by Rev. Dr. S. S. Domer, the music being led by Mr. B. W. Beebe. At this time there were but few delegates Present, but during the following half hour the big auditorium became well filled, not only most of the delegates, but many spec- tators, being in attendance. Mr. L. D. Alden, chairman of the com- mittee on credentials, submitted the com- mittee’s report. The report stated “that ninety-eight schools were represented in the present convention, with 801 accredited delegates. The following are banner de- nominations belonging to the District Union, the entire number of delegates to which they are entitled having reported their attendance to the proper parties: Congregational, Reformed, the Brethren and the undenominational schools.” The report further stated that ‘on Sep- tember 25 a circular letter. was mailed to each one of the superintendents of schools on the secretary's list, 150 in all, announc- ing that the convention would be held, and stating the number of delegates the school was entitled to; also requesting that the delegates be named at the earliest possible date, in order that their names Might be registered and the credential cards be forwarded to the superintendent of the school for them. “Replies were received from ninety-eight, as stated, and their list of delegates fur- ished to the proper authorities.” The re- port was adopted. Steamers and River Resorts. Mr. James L. Ewin, chairman of a sub- committee of the executive committee ap- pointed to investigate the question of se- curing a river resort where no Hquor is sold, and where all the Sunday schools of the District may have their annual pic- nics, made a report, the salient points of which were embodied in a preamble and resolutions, as follows: “In view of the iniquity of the traffic in intoxicating drinks, as declared by the churches and by our young people's con- ventions, and, as many, if not all, of us be- lieve by the word of God; and, in view of the manifest danger that our boys and girls may be blinded to its iniquity, and to their peril, by participating in Sunday school excursions on boats and at resorts where such drinks are among the attrac- tions provided for those who have formed the terrible drink habit or can be allured into its chains; “Resolved, That we earnestly desire an excursion resort on the Potomac and an excursion steamer free from the drink nuis- ance; “Resolved, That we thank those bodies who, by committees, have co-operated with us in endeavoring to provide such steamer and resort; “Resolved, That we ‘exhort one another’ to forego the pleasures of river excursions rather than to needlessly imperil immortal souls committed to our care by patronizing boats or places where intoxicating drinks are sold. “Resolved, That we renew the resolutions en this subject adopted at our '95 conven- tion.” ‘The paper was referred to the committee on resolutions. On motion of Mr. J. F. Johnson the ques- tion of sending a delegate to the coming international Sunday school convention, which meets in the City of Mexico {n Jan- uary next, was referred to the executive committee, with power to act. Similar action was taken in reference to the ques- tion of having the District union repre- sented at the world’s Sunday school con- vention, which meets in London next July. Serviceable Teaching. “Serviceable Teaching” was the subject of the address of Rev. Morris Ferguson pf New Jersey, who was taken suddenly ill at last evening's meeting, but who had re- covered. He was heartily welcomed by the clapping of hands by the large audience. “We should,” he said, “make every effort to so teach the Sunday school children that they will never forget what we tell them.

Teachers ought to be able to begin the teaching of the lesson the ™mcment the time to do so arrives, Jike the contestants do in a 440-yard dash, without any graceful preliminaries, and go ahead as scon as the pistol is fired. “Good intentions will not produce good results. The teacher must prepare herself or himself for teaching the lesson by a thorough study of it themselves. “Teachers ought to investigate every fail- ure so as to ascertain the cause. This will be a great help. “A gocd teacher will try to give the pupils answers to the question he or she may ask, so that the replies will be of ‘benefit to them in their future lives. “We must make our lessons adaptable to ourselves as well as to our pupils and not follow the lead of any one else. The Sun- day school teacher who does not give him- self or herself to his or her class is not fit to be a teacher. It is not necessary to spend the whole of the twenty-four hours in the day with one’s class, but one must, if he or she wishes to attain the best re- sults, have them on their mind constantly and devise means to interest them.” Illustrating Lessons. After the audience sang “Sunshine in My Scul” and other pieces, Miss Annie 8, Har- lcw of Philadelphia, a prominent worker fer the International Sunday School Union, made an address on “Hints on Illustrating Primary Lessons.” Miss Harlow began by saying: “The ignorance of the average Sunday school scholar on Bible events and Eible geography is deplorable.” Miss Har- lcw then asked her audience to imagine themselves a primary class for the time being, and asked them a number of ques- tions. The answers came so promptly and cor- rectly that Miss Harlow said to her scholars: ‘Don’t be too bright.” Resuming, she continued her questioning and awakened the most earnest interest on the part of every one present. Next she illustrated her subject by mak- ing diagrams on the blackboard, which caused a number of persons to ask many questions, «il of which she answered promptly. Shortly after 12 o'clock there was a Primary teachers’ conference, and lunch in the social room, and during the inter- mission of the morning and afternoon ses- sions of the convention Mr. Frank Ham- ilton led a session of the City Primary Union. Afternoon and Evening. Upon reassembling at 3 o'clock this after- noon a program which has been arranged will be carried out as follows: Devotional exercises; “Grading,” Miss Annie S. Har- low; conference, subject, “The Work of the Sunday School Officers, viz., Superintend- ent, Secretary, Treasurer,” Rev. Mr. Fer- guson; closing prayer, Rev. E. B. Bagby. This evening's session, which will be the final one of the present convention, will be- gin at with a gong service conducted by Mr. Percy S. Foster, which will continue for thirty minutes, and at 8 o'clock Rev. Dr. J. G. Butler will lead in devotional ex- ercises. This will be followed with the report of the committee on nominations, which is expected to be that the present officers of the District Union be re-elected for another year. The report of the committee will, it is anticipated, be adopted and those named chosen to serve for another term as follows: President, Pierson H. Bristow; first vice president, Lucius D. Alden; second vice president, C. H. Carrington; s L. Ewin; treasurer, Dr. D. Percy Hickling; field worker, J. F. Johnson; executive com- mittee, those above named, ex-officio, and the following: Col. Weston Flint, Thomas B. Towner, A. M. McBath, Dr. George C. Samson, John B. Sleman, Rev. F. A. Stier, W. Redin Woodward, M. C. Baxter, Thos. J. Wilson, Henry M. Shook, J. H. Lichliter, I. C. Slater, Edward Warren, Washington Topham. : Next in order will be the report’of the committee on resolutions, to be followed by singing and addresses by Rev. Mr. Fer- guson and Miss Harlow, the former on “The Mechanism of Sunday School Prog- ress,"” and the latter on “Suffer the Little Ones.” After more singing, this time by the male chorus, the farewell words will be said, an invocation offered and the bene- diction pronounced by Rev. Dr. S. M. New- man. VIEWS OF SENATOR FRYE Tariff Opponents Would Show Shrewdness in Passing the Dingley Bill. Free Silver Senators From Wool- Growing States Might Vote for It if Amended. Mr. William Shaw Bowen has interviewed Senator Frye at Lewiston, Me., on some of the public questions of the day, and the re- sults are given in the New York World to- day, as follows: The Senator sat in his cheerful library, a hickory fire snapped and sputtered in the open fireplace, and a large basket of the reddest apples imaginable rested on the rug beside him. He reviewed the situation as follows: “From a political standpoint I can under- stand that the opposition in the Senate might pass thé tariff bill now in its posses- sion. It would be a shrewd movement on their part, for it would anticipate probable legislation on the tariff when the new ad- ministration goes in. If I were on the other side and entertained their views 1 would advocate the prompt passage of the Dill. I am not at all sure that it might not be passed during the session if there were some alterations made. “One of the arguments against the mea- sure by a number of Senators was that wool was insufficiently protected. Some of the states that are for free silver are large- ly interested in wool growing. Montana, Oregon, Wyoming and other states have ex- tensive interests in sheep. They desire pro- tection for their product. Senators Carter, Warren, Clarke and Shoup, as well as Brice, Lindsay and others, would probably support the bill if amended. The desire to anticipate action by the next Congress would doubtless influence some democrats. It is not so certain that the President would veto the bill—he might allow it to become a law. - “I do not expect that the bill will be passed, but it is not out of the range of the possible. Of course I do not like it except for what it was intended to ac- complish. It was a temporary expedient, offered as a compromise to obtain suffi- cient revenue to conduct the government. “As regards an extra session, it is well to remember that the composition of the next Senate is not established. A republican from Kentucky and one from North Caro- lina are needed. I presume Kentucky will send one, but I am not clear about North Carolina. In fact, there are uncertainties that render the situation not satisfactory to contemplate. We must have more reve- nue, and I hope the good sense and pa- triotism of the people willedemand that it_be provided.” I asked Senator Frye if he thoyght Mr. Dingley would be offered the treasury port- folio. “I do not know,” was the response. “I should think he would not care for the place. He revels in the intricate duties of chairman of the committee of ways and means, quite ag responsible a position. “I have no idea what President McKinley will do about his cabinet. I had occasion to write to him recently, and I told him that while, of course, I would not suggest names, he should choose men of the very highest reputation and ability. He has his choice of the people of the country. The standard of the next administration should be the most exalted possible. There has been a tendency toward degeneration in making cabinets that should be changed.” I inquired of Senator Frye what pros- pect there was of congressional action on the Cuban question. “None,” he replied. ‘We have other things to think about. The Senate will do nothing. The subject is in the President’s hands.” Senator Frye expressed the opinion that the Hawatian question would come up after President McKinley took office. “The islands,” said he, “might be annex- ed to California or some other plan may be followed. President Dole has shown all of the high qualities ascribed to him when he assumed office. We do not hear anything more of Commissioner Blount, the man who pulled down the American flag. His ob- scurity appears to be complete.” Senator Frye will go to Washington for the session on Friday next. Outlaws Captured. The Taylor brothers, two notorious out- laws, who for a long time were a terror to the People of Colbert and Franklin coun- ies, Ala., have been captured in Colbert county.

The Gallaudets’ goal was only in danger once, in the first half, when the Columbian boys pushed the ball to within two yards of their goal, but lost it on downs. In the second half the Gallaudets kept the ball nearly all of the time. The tack- ling of Beaty, bucking the line of Whit- locke and Flood and the end runs of Mi- chalson and Fischer were the features of the game. Touch downs were made by Whitlocke, Nichols@yq and Flood. Tomorrow's Howard University Game. The Howard Univérsity foot ball eleven will play its Thankggiving day’s game on the university campus against the Douglas Association team @f,Annapolis.

Le Droits and Central High School Each Made a Touch Down. The Central High School and Le Droit Park elevens played a tie game yesterday afternoon on the Washington Cricket Club's grounds, 18th street and Columbia rcad. Each side scored a touch down, but failed at goal. The ball was kicked off by the Central, who regained it on downs. Oyster and Al- bert, by good line bucking, advanced the ball well up in the Park boys’ territory. Exley, by a good run around the end, car- ried the ball over the line for a touch down. Oyster failed for goal . Then the Le Droits turned the tables on their opponents, and by a series of rushes and runs also secured a touch-down. Burns made it, and Clark failed for goal. Time was then called. In the second half the ball was pushed up and down the field by the two teams in yain. The Centrals had the ball on the Le Droits’* 20-yard line when the game was called on account of darkness. For the Le Droits, Shipley, quarter back, and Ross, left half back, played an excellent game, while Exley, end, for the Centrals, played a good game. Score, 4—4. The line-up follows: c. H. 8.

Anti-Viviseo- tionists. Mr. Macfarland Makes a Reply—The Benefits of Anti-Toxin Far From Proved. To the Eilitor of The Evening Star: If Dr. Kinyoun’s “statistics” about the effect of anti-toxin on diphtheria are as in- accurate and disingenuous as his statement following them in The Star this evening about an incident which he evidently re- gards as equally important, they are worthless. That statement is: “Here Is a printed report, in which the writer declares he heard a lady who was prominent in her denunciatiors of vivisection, say she would rather that her child would die than that a guinea pig should be cut up.” Dr. Kinyoun himself 1s “the writer” whom he quotes, from his written “statement” published in the appendix of the report, submitted by Senator Gallinger May 26 last in the Sen- ate, to accompany the bill to regulate vivi- section in the District of Columbia, unani- mously adopted by the Senate committee on the District of Columbia. On page 118 of that report, Dr. Kinyoun says, in speak- ing of the same incident, “which occurred in this city about two and one-half years ago. I had consented to appear before a certain soclety for the purpose of stating what had been accomplished by the scien- tific researches of the laboratories in the prevention of disease. On explaining the value of our methods in preventing diph- theria, Iwas told by several female anti- vivisectionigts that they swould sooner let a child die®of diphtheria than to save its life by the sacrifice of a guinea pig.” Fortunately, there were a number of dis- interested persons present at the meeting to which he refers, and I, as one of them, desire now to state just what occurred. Dr. Kinyoun himself said, in the course of his remarks, that he had no doubt that any lady present would rather have ten thous- and animals cruelly tortured than have her child die. This statement brought forth a chorus of protests. Later in the discussion this protest was distorted by one of the vivisectors into the statement which Dr. Kinyoun has now reproduced and at- tributed to “a lady” and “several female anti-vivisectionists.” Instantly this was emphatically repudiated by the ladies as a gross misrepresentation of their protest, and Dr. Kinyoun was reminded that he had spoken of cruelly torturing ten thousand animals rather than to let one child die. Yet he still persists in this gross misrepre- sentation. This-incident illustrates the fact that vivisection often impairs the morals as well as the manners of those who prac- tice it. It converted me from a student of the subject into an earnest advocate of re- strictive legislation. As to the hot controversy among physi- cians over the alleged value of anti-toxin, which Dr. Kinyoun and the other vivi- sectors, for their own purposes, would like to ignore, the remarks made by Senator Gallinger, himself a distinguished physi- cian, who has had special experience with diphtheria for many years, on pages 3, 4 and 5 of the Senate report referred to, are of more value than the outgivings of those who, in trying to get appropriations from Congress, to magnify their offices, do not hesitate to slander and misrepresent. Says Senator Gallinger: “It 1s also claimed that through vivisection the so-called anti-toxin serum was discovered, and that through its use the mortality from diphtheria has been greatly reduced. On the other hand, many of the most eminent physicians affirm that the chief va'ue that anti-toxin possesses is the commercial value to those who deal in it, and that it is not yet demonstrated that it has any special curative value in the treatment of true diphtheria. It, is pointed out that one writer on the subject, who as- serts that since the introduction’ of anti- toxin a much larger majority of diphtheria patients than formerly recover, gives away his argument by saying that ‘it was not long after the discovery of the specific in- fecting agent of diphtheria that it became a matter of almost daily occurrence to find this bacillus in throats whose clinical ap- pearance was not that of diphtheria, and further, its absence was noticed in cases that prevented the typical pseudomem- brane. The former class showed us beyond a doubt that mild cases of diphtheria are common, and probably have not been rec- ognized as such in the past. * * * These cases should always be isolated.’ It needs no argument to prove that if the old-fash- ioned sore throat and follicular tonsilitis are to be called diphtheria, the proportion of cures, whether with anti-toxin or the other remedies so well known to the profession, will be much greater than formerly.” “The opponents of anti-toxin,” continues Semator Gallinger, ‘quote such men as Dr. Joseph Winters of the Willard Parker Hos- Fital of New York, who has had very large experience in this matter, and who has de- clared: “ ‘Some months ago I hoped and expressed, in company with the rest of my asso- clates here, that a specific for the toxin of diphtheria had at last been discovered. My experience of the three months, a personal experience, dealing with 150 cases at the hospital, has been a sad—an extremely sad —disappointment. I am here as the resuit of that experience, and I regret extremely to say it,to oppose the anti-toxin treatinent of diphtheria. I have watched for three months and say that not a single case of septic diphtheria has shown one sign of im- provement under anti-toxin treatment.’ “Dr. Winters then called attention to the fact already cited, that sore throats and tonsilitis are being called diphtheria, ard added: “‘& man was brought In; he had a slight Why Pay Fancy It’s beyond a question that prices have never been where they are now for reliable goods. With manufacturing facilities that have never been touched heretofore and advantages in buying cloth it is little wonder that we’ve brought prices down one-third and one-half. Five dollars today brings you as good as ten dollars formerly. It’s made a great awakening among thinking people— it’s known we’re doing an enormous business— it’s known our tailoring is absolutely good—it’s known we stand to give back the money if the goods are not as represented— What’s the Use of Paying Higher Prices?

Woodard, Assignee, Everett Art Store, F St. terlologically comes back to the ho: from the board of health as diphthe “Then, so says the report, Dr. Winters descrived in detail the unfavorable results of antitoxin as they had come under his observation—the great rise in temperature, the unnatural position of the head, and the agonizing pains tn the joints. He instanced several death-bed scenes in a dramatic way, and the doctors listened with rapt at- tention. On the 2ist day of May, 1896, Dr. Winters read another paper on the subject before the New York Academy of Medicine, in which he attacked the use of the serum either to cure or prevent the disease. He began his address by saying that anti-toxin had been given to the world as a specific for diphtheria,and that it had failed to meet expectations. In many cases it had affect- ed the patients in exactly the opposite way, and had caused cardiac troubles that had led todeath. It acts on the nervous sys- tem, causing paralysis, and affects other organs of the body. “Scores of other eminent physicians could be quoted who hold the same views, thus eonclusively demonstrating that the claims of vivisectionists that they are entitled to the credit of this wonderful discovery (7) will have more force after it has been shown that anti-toxin is of any real value. The writer of this report, who modestly claims to posesss a slight degree of med! :al knowjedge, and who indulges the hope that al EE ATA AR ST Gillba bi Th 4 tonsilitis, he recelved anti-toxin; he’s on| this remedy for diphtheria may yet be the list. Almost every case examined bac- | found to be one of genuine merit, and that through its use the ravages of this Gread disease may be greatly lessened, has carefully investigated the subject and is convinced that anti-toxin is still on trial, a view concurred in even by many medical men who believe that !ts value in the treat- ment of diphtheria will ultimately be proved and accepted, but who naturally are rather skeptical in view of the Zate that befell Koch’s lymph, Brown-Sequard’s elixir of Ife,and many other widely herald- ed medical fads, “More space has been given to this phase of the question than may seem necessa but inasmuch as the average vivisectionist stands out with the assertion that the op- ponents of vivisection propose to limit scientific investigations that have resulted in such wonderful discoveries as that of anti-toxin, ft is certainly proper to state both sides of that interesting question. And it may be added in this connection that the alarming stories about hydropho- bia that the disciples of Pasteur (vivisec- tionists) relate have, in the opinion of a considerable part of the medical profession, little, if any, foundation in fact. Hydro- phobia is a disease so rare that many phy- siclans in large practice for a quarter of a century and more have never seen a case, and yet the Pasteur institutes are crowded with people bitten by dogs entirely free from rabies, and so-called science (7) en- courages the delusion. “HENRY Bb.
