Sas OTHER AMES PRESENTED As foreshadowed in The Star yesterday, the “Daughte! are now in the throes of constitution revision. The constitutional revision committee, with Mrs. Donald Me- Lean as chairman, has been working for ene year on a revision of the old constitu- tion. The afternoon exercises yesterday opened up briskly and with large promise of pyro- technics, oratorically speaking. The ora- tory and pyrotechnics were on tap all the afiernoon and a good share of the night, on account of differences of opinion regard- ing the cons:itution. Mrs. McLean of New York read the re- port as chairman of the committee on re- vision of constitution. Adjournment was taken before the read- ing of the revised constitution was com- pleted, that the members might attend the reception at the Oaks, the home of Mrs. Blount, in Georgetown, and of * Mrs. Dickins, on 19th street. The evening se: opened with Mrs. ‘Tom sang Bevi- ‘lower Girl Brocket presided. The congress went into committee. of the whole, with Mrs. Elroy Avery of Ohio as chairman, and spent the ion considering the revision of the constitution. Today's Proceedings. The morning session of the Daughters of the American Revolution opened in formal manner with prayer by the chaplain ger- eral, Mrs. Bullock. The convention then proceeded to get ready for the nomination of ofticers, which was the regular business for the morning. The convention was in confusion in an instant. Half a doz or more tellers were to be appointed and every regent in the whole business wanted to nominate seme one. The president gen- era Mrs. Stevenson, kept up a regular fusillade of the gavel on the little pine tabie till it started at every joint and a woman in the congress who has to use an ear trumpet laid it down in terror. Confusion ume worse confounded till finally the sicent general brought her gavel down with a mighty bang, and, with a perfectly czar-like determination in her voice, said , the confusion is unnecessary, will be suspended until every la in the congress is seated.” There was an indignant protest. They were all hustling for votes and didn't pr pcse to have their prerogatives interfered with. Mrs. Stevenson squared herself and banged the table, and the women finally bsided for a time: but it didn’t last long ames were then read from the list sug- gested for tellers. Uproar again. Not an angry one, but most annoying. The buzz began in the k of the hall and ran down to the plat- ferm. It rose to the balcony, and finally get Lp into the gallery. Mrs. President Ceneral banged the table, and told t ladies that if they did not keep quiet sne weuld call on them by name. At that they ccughed and talked louder than ever. After delays and demonstration of more or les3 ardor and disorder the congress got down to nominating speeche: Mrs. Stevenson Renominate: The first nomination tion off its feet in a flash. Miss Virginia Miller of inated Mrs. succeed he rried the conven Jt was made by rginia, who nom- Letitia Green Stevenson to self. She couched the words in pretty terms, and the applause was per- fectly deafening.

The society was large enough to go alone now. Mrs. Stevenson had been a tower of strer and worked earnestly and nobly fur gcod of the order, under many trying cir- cumstances. seconded mark that “when held good right the The Nomination Unanimous. Again the women turned themselves loose and applauded till the noise reached the streets. Mrs. Donald McLean came bearing down the aisle at this juncture, like a shjp in full sail, and mounting the steps lead- ing to the platform, waved her handker- chief, and moved to make the nomination unanimous. Immediately the women of the convention were on their feet, and “aye, aye,” “yes, yes,” “that’s right,” came from every part of the hall. They waved their handkerchiefs and small flags, threw their flowers stageward, and simply went wild in the enthusiasm of the moment. Only a hundred or so of the delegates expressed disapproval by remaining seated. Some lady made objection to making the nomination unanimous. Mrs. Stevenson un- derteok to speak, but could not make her- self heard above the dreadful din. Finally she got a little order, and in a voice broken with emotion, told the ladies that she must decline the honor. Meantime Mrs. Ballinger and several la- dies had rushed over to the obstreperous ore woman and tried to get her to with- draw her objection, without which the unanimous vote could not be declared. Mrs. Sellinger asked her to withdraw her mo- tion, and Miss Washington seconded it, Finally some member announced that the lady had objected because she thought that the congress was going to act illegal- ly and not because she had anything agairst Mrs. Stevenson. On being assur=d that all was legal she withdrew her ob- jection, and the convention went into con- vulsions of delight again. No attention was paid to Mrs. Steven- son's protest against her nomination, and the presiding officer declared her elected amidst a perfect ovation of applause. M Stevenson stood as if dazed at the sud- denness of it all, with tears In her eyes, yet a smile on her face and in her heart, at the magnificent ovation she was being made the recipient of, despite her protest. Mrs. Stevenson's Speech. When the thing was a foregone conclu- sion and she was declared the nominee for the next year as president general, she was pulled to the front. “Ladies,” she began, “I fear you are getting ready for domestic inharmony in electing me to this office again.” At that there was a storm of “Nos” and groans. She went on to say that she had promised the Vice Pres- ident of the United States this morning that, under no consideration whatever, would she accept office again. That he, her honored husband, had said she must not burden herself with the cares of the office, which were too heavy for any but a strong, vigorous woman. She said that it was thought that the president general was simply an ornament to the order, but that often and often she had gone home from a board meeting with a tired head and a tired heart, and almost wishing that she had never to enter one again. Despite all this, however, she felt that she eculd not decline the office which came to her with such a magnificent ovation. By this time the convention had caught on to the fact that she had accepted, and it immediately proceeded to double up with enthusiasm again. The Other Officers. Nominations for first vice president gen- eral were then declared in order, and out of the chaos of names that had been pre- sented for tellers, those who did not de- cline were declared to be as follows: Mrs. Fitzwilliam, chairman; Mrs. Thurston, Mrs, Brush, Mrs. Hoge, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Rice, Mrs. McKnight, Mrs. Gross, Mrs. Feumly” Mrs. Hatch, Mrs. Pettibone, Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Coleman. Mrs. Rose Brackett was placed in nomi- nation to succeed herself by Mrs. Bullock. There were many seconds, and much en- to do, =] pis thusiasm. Jt was evident that the con- gress felt disposed to make the nomination unanimous, but others were placed in nomi- nation. Amidst much confusion Mrs. Mary M. Hill and Mrs. Mitchell were nominated. Mrs. Mitchell declined the honor in a very pretty speech. Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee was placed in nomination amidst the most absolute confusion, and cries of *‘n mething that sound- ed ominously like hissing. The president general banged the table and announced spension of business till order was re- stored. proceeded to busi- ington was nominated, ickly in favor of “her Mrs. Rose Brackett,” which most emphatically, n to Abolish an Office. point Mr: moved to abolish president general. Consternation reigned at once. A hundred ladies were on their feet, talking to the motion, which was a rprise to most of the members of the congre Mrs. Ballinger stated that she would like to support the motion, as the office was not constitutional John M. the a one, but was made for Mrs. Cabell, and had been held to ever since. She considered it unconstitutional. Mrs. Boynton spoke for Mrs. Brackett and did not want the office abolished. She thought it was an office that was much needed. It was ne sary to have some one who would take charge of affairs in the absence of the president general, and who knew exactly when and where she was wanted. Miss Pike nominated Mrs. Daniel Man- ning of New York. Mrs. Manning declined the honor. Although there were several placed in nomination at the time, Mrs. Dickins moved that the secretary. be instructed to cast the ballet for Mrs. Brackett. Mrs, Bu- chanan called attention to the fact that the rules or constitution said the ballot rust. be czst, and wanted information as to tie icgality of voting as the convention was Going. The president general said that the congress was a power to itself ai. could decide to do as it chose. s. McCartney wanted to know what had ‘come of Mrs. Titman’s motion to abolish the office. The president general said it was out of order. She asked when it would be in order, and was informed not till next year, as it ought to h ave been made before the officer was ed In nomination. inations were closed. with Mrs. Rose Bracket Mrs. Hill and Dr. Anita New- comb M on the bulletin board for nom- ination as first vice president general. ny the Delegates.

Mrs. Stevénson’s friends say that the convention took the whole matter out of Mrs. Stevenson’s hands. ——_—.—- Sunday Opening. The hotel barber shops want to keep their places of Business open the Sunday previous to the 4th of March and the Sun- day after. The law provides that it is ille- gal to keep barber shops open on Sunday. This morning a delegation representing the several hotel shops appeared before the Commissioners and urged them to waive the law on the Sundays mentioned. The city would be full of strangers upon those two days, and it was necessary to keep the barber shops open to accommodate them. The Commissioners, while expressing them- selves as favoring the propozition, did not see how it could be done in view of the ex- isting law on the subject, but promised to consider the matter carefully, and if there was any way to help them out it would be done. ——————— Judge Hagner today granted William J.

Rankin Imbric. The hosts of friends of J. Rankin Imbrie will be greatly shocked to hear of his death, which occurred at the home of Mr. Charles H. Fishbaugh, 1326 lth street northwest, at an early hour this morning. He has been confined to his room ‘since the Sth of January, and has been a most patient sufferer while surrounded by all that skill and kindness could furnish. Mr. Imbrie was born in Beaver, Pa., in 1840. In 1861 he entered the army, in which he served for three years, after which, under the late Gen. Elkin, his warm personal friend, he entered the quarter ler gen- eral’s office. For almost twenty-five years ke has been one of the mosi faithful clerks in the surgeon general's office, and for most of that time the head of a division, and during his entire residence in this city he has been prominently identified with the New York Avenne Presbyterian Church, among the forem st in every good work, and for a number of years to the time of his death, a deacon of the congre- gation. In March, 1893, Mr. Imbrie lost his de- voted wife, the siste> of Mrs. Fishbaugh, who is now the only living member of the Whitney femily, the mother having died two years since, ir her eighty-third year. He leaves an only child, a Loy twelve, years of age. aos Surrendered to Maryland.
