OSC, Company, Children of the Revejution Commom- orate Washipgtap’s Birthday. GAVEL PRESENTATION A FEATURE Address by Mrs. Lothrop, President of National Society. OLD GLORY SALUTED ——- There was a large crowd of patriotic peo- ple at the Columbia Theater this morning to attend the exercises commemorative of Washington's birthday, under the auspices of the National Society of the Children of the American Revolution. The exercises lested from 10 o'clock until after noon. The Fourth Artillery Band entertained the au- Gience with patriotic airs until the rising of the curtain. The exercises were opened with prayer by Mrs. Teunis 8. Hamlin, Mrs, Daniel Lothrop, Founder of C. A. R chaplain of the National Society. The prayer beirg concluded, the Henderson Drum Corps, headed by Mr. Herbert Winlock, carrying “Old Glory,” marched to the front of the stage, where the flag was saluted by the entire audience. » Master David McDougal LeBreton recited “Our Flag of Liberty,” and’ the entire audience joined In singing’ the national hymna, “America.” The address of welcome was delivered by Mrs. Daniel Lothrop, president of the Na- tional Society. ; President’ Mrs. Lothrop sald; “In the name of the National Society of the Children of the’ American Revolution, now holding its annual convention in this city, I bid you welcomé to these exercises, in which we may unitpdly commemorate the birthday of Washington. “We celebrate today tot alone the birth of Washington, but in and through him the birth of our nation"to fféedom. Dependent cn the unconscious Infaitty and lying on the breath of a’helpiess babe, when Washington was born, was the destiny of a nation trem- bling, and none beside his cradle knew it. God's hand had set the seal of consecration upon him, the awful solenin seal of responsi- aility to @ yet unborn nation; to be their shield and thetr deliverer out of bondage into freedom. And the rulers of the nations of the earth, crowned and seated on their thrones, knew not that liberty was born that day. “In celebrating the birthday of Washing- gon let us rejoice that liberty was bora.

So long as the American people shall hold to the traditions in government and in morals of Washington's dominant princi- pies, so long shall they, continue to endure, to develop into the greater nation, which bis dim eyes perceived the centuries could fulfill. ashington builded deep and well be- se he sought a more enduring basis than id come from earthly support. the God of his fathers on whom he relied, the Rock of A the God of Nations, on rhom his hope depended.

The ceremonies following Mrs. Lothrop’s address were of an extremely interesting character. They consisted of the presenta- tion of a handsome gavel and its reception by the national president. Mr. Horatio Knight Bradford, a descendant of Gov. Bradford of Massachusetts, and a member oi the Piram Ripley Society of Washin, ton, told of the origin of the gift. He sai “During the second annual convention of the Society of the Children of the American Revolution at Washington, D.C., February 21 to 27, 1897, the national president, Mrs. Daniel Lothrop, announced the plan of the gift of a gavel to the national society by a tember of the Old North Bridge Society of Concord, Mass., and to be used at all its fvture annual conventions. This gave! was to be of wood of the Old North Bridge at Concord, where wag “fired the shot heard round the world,’ April'19, 1775. “The gavel was to Be encircled with a broad silver band, ‘ppropriately inscribed.

As early as 1767 the town came boldly out after wise, cautious deliberations, with ut- terances that rang out to listening colonies, the firm determination to withstand the tyrannical acts of the British parliament. And following fast in’ the succeeding years upon the expressed determination with others, of growing zeal and deeper reselu- tion, they declared that ‘as men, we have a right to jife, liberty and property; as Christians, we, in this land (blessed be God for it), have a right to worship God ac- cording to the dictates of our own con- sciences; and as subjects we have a right to personal security, personal liberty and GENERAL DIRECTOR, HOYT’S THEATER, AU- THOR AND COMPOSER OF THE “SEA “LION KING,” FIND Johann Hoff’s Mait Extract giving me the most strength and satis- faction.

Meanwhile, the cyes of the Brit- ish troops, under . were slowly and steadily fasteni: elves upon sturdy Concord town as an objective point for their first attack, in which they would capture these stores, and by one blow crip- ple and ultimately defeat the strug; men who had only God and their g right arms on which to depend. This Con- cord realized and she resolved to defend those stores with her life. “April 19, 1775, dawned on the world. ‘Some future histor! says the Boston Newspaper of May ‘ 1 relate with pleastre, and the latest posierity will read with wonder and admiration, how taree kundred intrepid rural sons of freedom drove before them more than five times their number of regular, well-appointed troops, and forced them to take shelter be- hind their own bulwarks.’ Fight at Concord. In the early morning of that ever-mem- orable day the attack was made. Passing through Lexington on their way to their objective point, the old town of Concord, the British troops turned their backs on their massacre of defenseless men, and marched out on the Old Bay road, brilliant in their scarlet uniforms, and with gay spirits and a jubilant confidence in the easy victory they should find beyond. “Oh, Old North bridge of Concord town, where are silently and swiftly gathering the minute men and the militia of the near- by towns, the pages of all history do not give a more sublime example of what it is to wait on God than does the record of thine arena, this day of days! “Oh, heroes; Capt. James Barrett and Major John Buttrick, Capt. Isaac Davis and James Hayward, and the long roll of men, who, facing death, could wait delib- erately, y, resolutely, until, being fired upon, could speak for the rights of man and the sons of God! Thy names are writ in letters of living light as apostles of freedom who yet waited on God tll Es word came to strike. “Rack in affrighted dismay at the awful determination of these farmers rushe: with broken ranks the brilliant-coated ‘flower of the British army’ over the Old Bay road, pursued by their victors, who felt at every step the thrill of being free men, and who knew in their souls that Mberty for the American citizen was born “Ralph Waldo Emerson has struck in im mortal verse this note: “By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled, Here once th’ embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard round the world.” “The handle of this gavel is the wood of this old North bridge, with an upper border of thirteen bullets, carved to represent the thirteen original colonies.

The presentation was made by Margaret Mulford Lothrop of Concord, Mass., and Sarah Smith Howard of Alexandria, Va. The gavel is made of wood from the homes of Washington, Monroe, Madison and Jef- ferson, sons of Virginia and Presidents of the United States of America. “May this gift,’ said the donors, ‘brought in the tion of our hearts and our hands, ever be the symbol of the united love and loyalty that all the members of our na- tional society bear toward each other.” Prof. George Lansing Raymond, L.H.D. delivered an interesting patriotic address, which was received with rounds of ap- pleau The minuet, as grandma danced it, an exercise by Miss Emily Reed and Master Roger Stuart of the Yorktown Society, brought rounds of applause from the audi- ence. This youthful couple looked as if they had just stepped from the frame cf some old family portrait, and carried them- selves in a manner befitting the part they were taking. Their movements were cspe- cially graceful and pretty. Four couples from the Piram Ripley So- ciety darced the minuet in a manner most pleasing. ‘The program had to be cut some, and the exercises closed with a patriotic medley, Our Own Red, White and Blue, Mr. G. EK. Slaybaugh, baritone, and chorus; dedicated to the National Society of the Children of the American Revolution, by Mrs. Emilie V. Little of Rochester, N. Y., and “Colum- bia the Gem of the Oceen,” sung by the audience. The music was under the direc- tion of Miss Virginia Powell Goodwin. —— THE NEWS IN MADRID. Report That the Investigation Shows Explosion Was Accident. A special to the New York World yester- day from Madrid said: The Spanish ad- miral commanding at Havana telegraphs that the Spanish official investigatior into the catastrophe to the Maine terminated to- day, and that the first exploration made by official divers has shown, up to the present, that the disaster was quite accidental and was not produced by any exterior cause. Premier Sagasta in person conveyed the official telegram to the palace, and the queen regent expressed satisfaction on hearing the result of the investigation. The ministers say there is no foundation for the pessimist rumors published by El Imparcial today concerning the relations between Spain and the United States, as, on the contrary, Charge d'Affaires Du Bosc wires very reassuring =e The queen will give an audience tomor- row afternoon to United States Minister ‘Woodford, who will convey the thanks tel- egraphed by ident McKinley for her message of condolence. z A considerable sensation has been caused in political circles by telegrams from Ha- vana announcing a victory of the radicals in the Cuban autonomist assembly. De- spite the resistance of the moderates, led by the Cuban ministers Galvez and Mon- tero, the government, it is stated, will be dis; to tolerate not only a modifica- tion of the insular cabinet, but also such alterations in the colonial constitution es sary—for instance, the colonia! tribunals. : Such reforms could be made only by par- Hament, in virtue of article 34 of the colon- ia! constitution, and never by royal decree.
