Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, September ii, 1895.
Since the visit to this place last week
of the several candidates on the state
ticket of the democratic and republican
parties politics have become more lively,
and indications of hot campaign are be-
coming more apparent. The action of the
managers Of both parties in Baltimore is
watched with much interest, and every
move Is noted down. In the democratic
ranks some apathy is manifested in various
parts of the county, and this feeling is of
sufficient power as to cause some uneasi-
ness among the leaders. So far as the
state ticket is concerned, the republicans
appear to be perfectly satisfied with the
outlook, and predict a good majority for
Mr.. Lowndes for governor. A meeting of
the republican county committee was held
here yesterday, at which considerable bust
ness connected with the conduct of the
campaign was transacted 1gnatius Belt
was recognized the member from Be
thesda district. Four new members were
added to the executive committee, and the
chairman was authorized to appoint
finance and campaign committee.

adjoining the rooms of the Y. M. c. A.
The headquarters are on the second floor.
overlooking New York avenue and the
treasury corner. They are furnished with
desks tables and a typewriter, and on the
shelves of a bookcase are piled a quantity
Of newspapers containing accounts of the

ture. The walls are adorned with photo
graphic views of convention scenes, with
badges, souvenirs, group pictures of Union
officers and striking likeness of Rev.
Francis p, Clark, or. as he is more famil-
iarly called. Father Endeavor Clark. Some
Of the unions banners are displayed, one or
two of them badly damaged by the fire
that destroyed the Y. M. c. A. building.
Two members of the committee, Mr.. w.
H. H. Smith, chairman, and Mr.. John b.
Sleman, jr., chairman of the subcommittee
on press, are almost constantly in attend
ance at headquarters, spending the ma
jority of their waking hours which are not
necessarily taken up in their daily oceupa-
tons at their new desks. In the early
morning and late at night these two inde-
fatigable workers are on hand to answer
the large correspondence that comes to
the committee and meet personally the
small army of seekers after information.
Mr.. Sleman said this morning that he
expected soon to get everything in order
and running smoothly, and would then
push vigorously the work of preparation
for the reception and entertainment OF
the thousands who will come to Washing

Inc Manchester will make her regular
trips to Indian Head and Marshall Hall
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings,
the boat leaving her wharf at $50. The
END OF the season is nearing rapidly. and
the many who patronize these trips are
awaiting themselves of the last chances of
the season for pleasant sail on the river,
an hour or two of dancing to excellent
music. and the beautiful trip home in the
moonlight. The number is always large on
these trips to Indian Head. and the brief
outings from the c:ty's hurry and warmth
have proved veritable windfalls to Wash
ington's pleasure-loving public. A number
or large parties take the boat for these
trips. and the return home is always en-
tVened with music. both instrumental and
vocal Schroeder's orchestra is still on
bend to discourse the latest and most pop
ular music both for the concer. on the boa.
and the dancing in the pavilion.

special trip to Chapel Point next Sunday,
under the personal direction of Capt. L. s.
Randall. An effort will be made to secure

spot. the number will doubtless be large

Alexandria at 1915, and arriving at Chapel
Point in time to give the excursionists a
long period to enjoy the amusements on
the place. The return home will be made
about 10 pm, the fare for the round trip
being twenty-five cents. These excursions
to Chapel Point are probably the most pop
u1ar of the long excursions on the river
and Capt. Randall has hopes that on this
trip his passenger indicator will break the
record.

of a very Interesting and closely contested
tournament, which began at 2 o'clock.
There were twenty entries, ten professional
and ten amateur knights, who competed for
the prizes offered by the management Of

very large and completely filed the

AMUsEMENTS.

"old Glory."-"Old Glory" q new naval
n elodrama, by Charles T. Vincent and VIII
liam A. Brady, Is said to contain several Of
the prettiest and best settings seen in many
a day. The growth of the United States
navy, the establishment Of Il naval prestige
for Uncle Sam on the sea, Is the foundation
of the play. during which the Baltimore"
one Of the crack members Of the white
Squadron" is introduced at a critical mo-
ment. This is an American play in SO far
as sentiment Is concerned, but the elabo-
rate effects are only frame for a story of
hearts, the final chapter of which Is a re-
onion under the inspiring folds Of the stars
and stripes. The tale Of "Old Glory is
woven about the discomfort of Chile with
the United States, involving the United
States consul whose daughter Is loved
vaccinations of a villain, who deserts his
country for a Chilean government, and the
unlawful arrest of an attache of the Ameri-
can corps, who as the accepted lover of the
heroine is to be removed because his at
tachment for the girl Is bar to the ambi-
ton Of the executive power of that country.
The scene of a street in Chile, the costume
of the country, and the very sensa tional
scene on Toros Head the sea, during
which the Baltimore is saved from a trap
by the daring heroism of woman, are
among the best of recent stage descrip-
tons.
