A NEW CONSTITOTION THE Proceedings of the Sessions of Today and Last Evening. NOTES AND COMMENTS The morning session of the mothers’ con- gress was heightened in interest by a discus- sion that would have been properly charac- terized as warm had not the gentle sex been the participants therein. The subject un- der consideration was the adoption of a constitution drawn up and submitted by a committee appointed at Tuesday's meet- ing to perform this important duty. The introduction of the constitution was ac- companied by a motion to adopt it as a whole, but this was not acceptabie to a very large majority of delegates, who de- sired to discuss the articles one by one. One delegate, when told she was out of order, said she proposed to be out of order, because the congress, it appeared to her, had been out of order ever since it con- vened. The decision having been made that the constitution should be discussed by sec- ticns, its consideration was proceeded with. Mrs. Alexander made a very strong ar- gument in favor of eliminating any clauses in the censtitution which might have the effect of making the national congress merely a federation of clubs instead of be- Harriett Lincoln Coolidge. ing a representation of the mothers of the country. Mit Richards and others enter- ed into this discussion, and it soon develop- ed that there was a very practical differ- ence of opinion between the real workers in behalf of the formation of women’s clubs and other organizations which go to make up state organizations and those who Were in official position in such societies. It was finally decided to strike out of th constitution all reference in regard to rep- resentation in the congress of state organ- izations. The Details Considered. Mrs. Lillie Devereaux Blake, chairman of the constitution committee, said there was no time to discuss the constitution. The congress, she said, had to elect its officers and must get through. It was wasting time to go into quit bles. This brought the Countess di Brazza to her feet in an instant. She declared that the delegates who were to go home to their clubs were going to be held responsible for the constitution adopted, while the com- mittee which drew it’up would not be known in the matter. If necessary the con- gress should remain in session until Mon- day or Tuesday in order to thoroughly set- tle_ail the questions, whether they were regarded as quibbles or not. This was greeted with great applause, and led to an immediate realization of the desires of the congress on the subject of representation by Mrs. Mumford and the other presiding officers on the stage, prom- inent among whom was Mrs. Blake. There was an indication that there was a chance for the adoption of the constitu- tion as a whole after section 1, article 5, of the by-laws had been incorporated as article 6 in the constitution, Wh2n the ques- ticn was about to be put, however, there was a motion made to insert an article pro- viding for membership in the congress, and this led to further discussion that promised to be kept up all day from the diversity of opinion expressed on the subject and the animation with which they were given. The great trouble seemed to be that the by-laws which had been drawn by the same committee that drew up the con- stitution provided for membership, instead of leaving the matter to the constitution. The congress got padly mixed over the subject, and it was almost impossible to follow the trend of the numerous argu- ments. When The Star’s repert closed the con- stitution as a whole had not been adopted and was still being discussed. Features of Proceedings Yesterday. The afternoon session was devoted to the “Don't Worry” movement, a visit to the White House by the delegates, where they were received in the east room by Mrs. McKinley and several of the young ladies visiting the White House, and a demon- stration of the value of educational factli- ties for the deaf by five pupils of the Pennsylvania Institution for the training “In Speech of Deaf Children Before They Are of School Age.” The founder of the “Don't Worry” move- ment, Mr. Theodore F. Seward of New York. made an address on its origin and philosophy. He spoke at length of the growth of the movement, circles and clubs Mrs. Almon Hensley. being formed in all parts of the country. He declared it to be a blessing to the home, to churches and to society, and said it was a truth that worrying was really a form of insanity. Miss G. I. 8. Andrews, also of New York, added her praise to the movement, saying that its corner store was the omnipresence of God and the belief in it. After the visit to the White House Miss Mary S. Garrett read an irteresting paper on the training of deaf children. Miss Garrett diametrical- ly opposed the argument advanced by Prof. E. M. Gallaudet earlier yesterday that the oral met1od was not the best in such edu- cation, and declared that it was gradually supplanting the sign method. Miss Deusie Herenden of this city gave some amusing remarks on “The Advice of An Old Maid.” Evening Session. 3 ‘The evening session was commenced by an address by Mrs. Sara A.

The first is the old maid who couldn't if she would; the spinster who could but wouldn't when she could, and the bachelor girl, who could all the time, but wouldn't though she could. Miss Richards declared that there are only a few of the first class now extant, all deserting to the spinster or bachelor girl. Speaking seri- ously, Miss Richards said that the boys should claim more of the attention of the parents, and should be brought up in the same atmosphere of purity as the girl. At 9:30 the congress adjourned, and the dele- pretty red parlor was fragrant with roses in jars and baskets, and the receiving party was elegantly gowned. Mrs. Birney, the president, was assisted by the officers and members of the executive board, and they shook hands vigorously for two hours. When the laggards had all passed down the line the receiving party adjourned to the big parlor, where Miss King, the talented elocutionist, and Miss Hoffer, the equally talented singing kindergartner, charmed all with their recitations and child songs.

In speaking of the “blessings of single life’ she said that there were House, where the reception by the execu- tive board of the congress to the chairmen of the committees was held.

The young ladies and gentlemen: of the cast, with the-members of the executive committee of the art loan, last night form- ed the audience, and a most critical one at times. One comment very general in tone was that ft would be difficult to select better representatives of each part, so success- fully have they been chosen. ‘The dressing was perfect, the modern fashions being ex- tremely elegant, as were the jewels, and the costumes quite barbaric in splendor, especially in the Biblical pictures. The make-up, which was conducted by a trained hand in the green room, would make converts to the rouge saucer, as the transformations it created were exceed- ingly becoming in the strong lights thrown. on_every picture.

The members of the Alexangria Light Infantry are on the anxious bench. It has been stated that Adjutant General Nalle of the Virginia militia expects to have a battalion of infantry in camp at Rich- mond by tomorrow night. The Alexandria boys are hoping that theirs will be one of the companies of this battalion. They have not, however, ‘received any orders on the subject. Major William M. Smith, surgeon of the 3d Regiment, Virginia Volunteers, has re- turned from Richmond. He was unable to learn just when the Alexandria contingent would be ordered té Richmond, but it is more than probable that the entire Vir- ginia brigade will be taken to Richmond next week. It is stated that the surgeons assigned to the brigade will make a physical examina- tion of the men beforé the companies leave the towns to which they belong. In this way the men who fail to pass the physi- cal examination will be left at home, and thus avoid the disappointment incident to returning after they have been in camp. The Alexandria Light Infantry is a fine body of men, and it is confidently believed that it will lose but a small percentage when the physical examination is made. The men are well drilled and ready to fol- low their captain, Albert Bryan, wherever he may lead them. Notices Filed Today. Today is the last day on which candi- dates for state offices in this city can file their notices of candidacy with the clerit of the court for the election, which takes place May 26. Up to this time those nomi- nated at the democratic primary are with- out opposition. Monument Raffied. The sea shell monument, which was raf- fied at Shuler’s Hall last night, was wen by Mr. Merrill of Washington. The monu- ment was made by Mr. John Schuster of Baltimore, and was disposed of for the benetit of the Knights of Pythias of Wash- ington and Baitimore. Art Exhibition. Peabody Hall was crowded last night, the occasion being the annual exhibition of work done by the Alexandria Art School. ‘“nere were a number of excellent speci- mens. This school ts a public one, taught by Alexandria artists, who give their ser- vices without charge. Fire Company Meeting. The regular monthly meeting of the Co- lumbia Steam Fire Eagine Company was held last night. Considerable business of a routine nature was transacted. A num- ber of invitations were received and ac- cepted. It was decided to ask the city council for permission to take the Colum- bia engine to Salisbury, Md., to participate in the engine contest at the Maryland state firemen’s convention. t There are three conditions: When the blood is poor; When more flesh is needed; When there is weakness of the throat or lungs. There is one cure: that is Scott’s Emulsion. It contains the best cod-liver oil emulsified, or digested, and com- bined with the hypophosphites and glycerine. It promises more prompt relief and more lasting benefit in these cases than can be obtained from the use of any other remedy. SOc. an1 $1.00, all druggists. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New York.
