B REPORT ON REVOLUTIONARY RELICS Greetings Received From Societies in Session Elsewhere. CONVENTION NOTES Ee ee ‘The stage at th? Grand Opera House presented a pretty appearance this morn- ing, with the lights and the flowers adding to the charms of the ladies who filled it Above the center Lung the embiem of the Daughter the American Revolution, composed of immortelles and fitted with incandescent electric lights. This was used at the rec2ption at the Arlington Hotel last night. The emblem consists of a spinning wheel, through which a distaff runs trans- versely. There was as much nois? and confusion as usual this morning, and the order which Was supposed to have been put into effect yesterday appeared to have no restraining influence on th> delegates, as they talked, ran up and down the aisles, and appeared to enjoy themselves hugely. To fill in the interval before the president g2neral ar- rived, the assemblage, led by the precentor, Mr. Percy S. Foster, render2d “My Coun- try, ‘Tis of Thee." When the president general reached the yall she wore a trou- bled app2arance, as if she had been con- ten-plating the task she had before her of keeping the delegates in line. She pounded centinuously on the table, but had to wait s2veral minutes before order was restored so she could announce that prayer would be led by the chaplain general, Mrs. Charles A. Stakeley. When this was fin. s elegates listened to Mrs. Cc. olo part of the “Star Spangled Banner” in her beautiful soprano Voice, and joined in the chorus in a man- ner which was not exhibited at the singing of any previous selection. Mrs. Noyes re- ceived hearty applause. She was accom- panied by Mr. A. Olmstead. Moves to Strike Out. After the minutes had be2n read and ap- proved, a motion was made by a delegate that all the remarks and discussion had yesterday in regard to the invitation to the President's reception be expunged from the recerd. This matter evidently weighed heavily on the minds of the daughte@s, for the motion was made there was a 1 stir throughout the hous> that to be quieted. Mrs. Ste- to rap for order time . ‘The motion was adopted ng vote, and an air of relief seem- thereafter to pervade the whole con- ssion was occasioned by some the ates, who thought the datz weuld interfere with the election, and Wanted it changed. A motion was made that the thanks of the congress be t2ndered to the committee of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion and Sons of the Revolution, which had charge of the reception arrangements at the Arlington last night. This motion was heartily s+conded by a delegate. “I am from Tennessee, and I want to stand most strenuously in favor of that motion,” the lady declared. “That is very nice, indeed,” said the president general, and this seemed to be the opinion of all the rest of the delegate: A sensation was caused when the presi- dent general anrounced that there were fcur ladies in the house who had white badges, and use of them as dele- gates, who were not entitled to them. She asked the delegates to meet her, so that she could haye a list of the names and find out who was using the badges without li- cense. She ended by saying that after that the white badges would not gain admission to the floor. Committee’s Report on Relics. Oa motion of Mrs. S. B. White of Brook- lyn, the report of the committee on revolu- tionary relies, which was not read yester- day on account of illness, was taken up. ‘There was so much confusion at this point ution was read with reference ing silence upcn the congress. This resolution went on to state that the order of yesterday, which was to the effect that several delegates be appointed to see that the rest remained quiet, did not appear to impossible to bridle a wo- tongue,” the resolution went on to “two policemen will be stationed at : door, who will see that quiet {s main- tained.” This caused considerable amuse- ment among the delegates, and confusion reigned worse than ever. It was found nec- essary to pass a motion that the doors be closed until the report of the committee on revolutionary relies was read. Mrs. William Lindsay is chairman of this committee. She satd: “During the last two years the coll tion of relies of the revolutionary period, and the arrangements for their preserva- have been carried on under conditions 1 make it impracticable to fix the ex- aration between the work of the present committee and its immediate predecessor, of which Mrs, Stephen J.

It was to the effect, as a Hill has been tntroduced into the Congress of the United States looking to the estab- lishment of a school where the women of the United States shall be taught the science of domesticity and peace, just as at West Pcint and Annapolis the men are taught the science of war, it is believed that suca a school will tend -to promote the good of the nation and benefit mankind by the application of such knowledge to the womanly duties of home-making and child-rearing. Therefore, it was resolved, that the Daughters of the American Revo- lution, in convention assembled, indorse the proposed -national training school for women and ask the Congress of the United States to establish it. Ss This created a great deal of discussion, with arguments for and against. It was finally, by a yote, decided that the resolu- tion should not be adopted. Continental Hall, The report of the committee on the con- thrental hall was next taken up. This showed e gratifying increase from last year, but it was the opinion of the chair- man of the committee, Mrs. Henry M. Siepard, that it would be best to let the matter stand as it wes until the sum of $50,000 should be secured for the erection of a hall and parchase of a building site. She said that as the last congress had seen fit to act in this Matter, she thought the present one would do the same. Great in- terest was manifested in the reading of this report. There was a break in the proceedings on the arrival of the flowers which were pre- sented Mrs. Stevenson and Mrs. Brackett at the reception last night. These provok- ed long and loud applause. On motion of one of the delegates it was decided that $5,000 of the permanent fund of the society be turned over to the con- tinental hall fund, though it took some time before the delegates fully understood the matter,.and many questions were asked of the chairman in regard to it. The announcement that the sum of $500 to the continental hall fund had been given by the Chicago Chapter, D.A.R., was received with great applause. It was in- creased when it was announced that Brooklyn Chapter, of which Mrs. S. B. White, ore of the prime movers in the congress, is a member, had donated $1,000 to the same fund. A communication was read from Hen- drick Hudson Chapter of Hudson, N. Y., stating that the chapter would tender a cernerstone for the proposed hall. The be- lief was expressed on the part of some of the Daughters that it would be necessary to have a hall in a very short time. It was stated in the letter that the cornerstone would be composed of granite from that section of New York, of which a sample was forwarded to the president general. The Donations. The matter of donations for the conti- nental hall fund was continued. Tennessee was one of the first states to respond lib- erally, and others followed quickly. Mrs. ‘ewcomb of Washington donated a life nembership to the society, which costs $25.. The amounts received from these life memberships ars all turned over tu the continental hall fund. In all about $10,000 was collected morning, this taking into consideration the side from the general fund of pciety. Mrs. Ferdinand Earle of Mary shington Heights’ Chapter, New York ¥, gave $1,000, The fund now amounts to about $42,000 of the $50,000 needed. Some discussion arose over a book writ- ten by Mrs. Moran of Charlottesville, Va., the proceeds from the sale of which were proposed to go to the continental hall fund. It was thought that it would be a good idea to sell the book at this congress for that benefit, but the motion to that ef- fect was tabled. Mrs. Moran was attacked and criticised severely by some of the Daughters, but was permitted to make a statement. She said that it had cost her several hundred dollars to get the book out orginally; that $250 had been secured for the society y sales at the world’s fair, and that whatever had been done by her in this regard was for the good of the so- ciety. It was thought that the lady had been too severely censured. The matter of amendments was taken un- der discussion, and the congress adjourned soon after this, to convene again at 2 o'clock. The report of committee on recommenda- tions of national officers was made at t-e afternoon session and election of state re- gents were announced. Proceedings Yesterday. At yesterday’s afternoon session Brackett, first vice president, served as chairman. The report of the committee on auditing was postpened until Friday. A motion made by Mrs. J. H. Barnes of Massachus>tts, left over from the mor: ing session, was then taken up. It provid- ed that a directory be published which shall contain the name of the officers and tem- bers of the D. A. R. The proposition call- ed forth much discussion, and a statement from Dr. Anita McGe> of this city, who was in charg? of the last directory, au- thorized by the continental congress cf 1896. She stated that she thought a thou- sand copies would be sufficient.

There was no Pst session of the con- gress, the evenini ig taken up with’ the reception at the-srlington Hotel from 9 till 11 o'clock. This was for the delegates and the Daughte#s of the Revolution. Mrs. Adlai Stevenson, the outgoing president general, assisted by. Mrs. Tabell and Mrs. Brackett, first vice president general, wel- comed the guests. There were about 1,500 of these, the list “of invitations including the officers of the society, the state and chapter regents of the D. A. R. and the officers and board of managers of both the Sons of the Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution. Adnitssion to ine pecepdon was by card. ‘The parlors’and banquet hall set apart for the assembly ball Monday e vening were brought into requisition.

The west end of the hall showed @ bank of tall palms and latticed leaves. The arrangement of ferns, gay ribbons, roses, Easter lilles and choice orchids was most tasteful. There was a grouping of flags and bunting, which made a pretty background, Mrs. Daniel Manning, candidate for the office of president general of the society, received in the last parlor informally, and this reception was largely attended. Sho was gowned, in light-blue satin, wore a Giamond tiafa im her hair and’ diamond necklace. Mrs. McLean, who is regarded as her strongest opponent, held an enforced reception on the opposite side of the same parlor. She was gowned in black Lyons velvet, and was the center of an admiring throng all evening. Mrs. Brackett, the other candidate, was with the receiving party and was warmly greeted all evening. The affair was a most successful one and attractive from every point of view, there being nothing to mar its pleasure. CONVENTION NOTES. Brief Sketches of Members of D. A.

Trouble in the Daughters Over the Founders’ Badges. Even “founders” have troubles of their own. It has been very apparent to those inside the D. A. R, councils that trouble was brewing over the medals that are to be presented to the “founders” of the order tomorrow night, and this will probably show itself in the report of the medal com- mittee tonight, : In the sixth annual congress, held last year, Mrs. Kate Kearney Henry, one of the most’ energetic workers in the D. A. R., made a motion that the four founders of the order—Mrs. Ellen Hardin Welworth, Mrs. Mary 8, Lockwood, Miss Masy Desha end Miss Eugenia Washington—be present- ed with some token appropriately prepered. by the congress, in commemoration of their untiring efforts to promote the order of the D.

Mrs. Lockwood says: “I only ask peace. I appreciate the hovor intended by the 1 congre: but I dic not invite it. I wv abide by the dezision of the congress.” Miss Washington says one eagle and founder must come off Mrs. Lockwood's nedal. In its place she would leave a pen and on the bar the word “service,” by which Miss Weshington practically ai krowledges the fact that Mrs. Lockwood's service was invaluable in forming the D. A. R., and makes hers the most distinctive age of all. There is rauch feeling evinced over the- matter, and Miss Washington's leest tacitly sanctioned by not objecting at the proper time hes caused much feeling all round.

To the genuine regret of all the guests found that it impeded Queen Dempsey did not It is said to be a perfectly lovely pice of work, and there was the greatest curi- osity to see how an American woman of Irish descent would sport the emblem otf Dutch royalty. She e led to one of the sentlemen at the reception that it had been her royal pleasure to wear her jeweled head. r, but that of her noble ladies in waiting had dissuaded her, Their argument was that it wasn’t her reception r her crown. onyhow and that if she did her level best the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, with all their orders and decoratio their red, white and blue ribbons and thi diamond spinning wheels, wouldn't deuce high alongside of a queen. but another case of noblesse oblige. a Choir Given a Reception.
