Mr.. President, 1 think is tho proper timo, when
this grand organization is laying tho founda-
tion for future glorious work, that
A System Of Action
should DO adopted. Without system, tho
whole universe would be In chaos; and with
out system, the work of the Inylncible Eagle
Club would be utterly abortiye. Hence, sir, I
now propose O method and plan OF action
which, believe, Will go far toward winning
for us victory. The work of the society, so
varied and enormous, must in great meas-
ure, be entrusted to committees. These l pro-
pose to class rs folows
"Committee on Boarding Houses.
NCOmmittce on Lunch Rooms.
"Committee on Lodging Rooms.
COMMITTEE on Boots and Shoes.
"Committee on Senators.
"Committee on Representatives.
"Committee on cabinet Officers.
"Committee on Bureau Officers.
"Committee on General Influence.
"These committees are tho ones specially
and imperativcly needed nOW. In the future
we may discover there Will be demand for
moro. scarce think II calls for word from
me to inform You as to the objects of these
han
bespeak the object OF their creation. 1 shall
refer to one alone as n key to the work of all,
VIZ, the Committee on Boarding Houses. Said
committee VIII have exclusive Jurisdiction OF
this question. 1t Will report upon the general
subject Of whore
The Best observation-disclosures In the
City
OF Washington are located. BY using tho word
best mean TO learn where the most de.
licious and abundant food Is served for the
least money, whether in the Fourth Ward,
Swampoodle, Murderer's Bay or Hollis Bot
tom. Food is Siae qua non with US. Without
1t, all our labors VIII BIO in vain. Now, Mr..
President,I conclude, and move the adoption
OF my proposition for committees"
The motion was seconded by Miss Fanny
wobbles, of Ohio "a maiden Weighing about
fifteen stone) who denounced in no measured
terms the stinted fare and horrible food served
at Washington boarding-houses.
1t was decided that the chairman should ap.
point all the committees, to BIO each composed
OF twelve ladies' and twelve gentlemen from
each State and Territory.
Mr.. John Lookout, of Illinois, queried II 1t
was the intention that the committees should
supersede individual work as to securing par
ticular influences, selecting boarding houses,
lunching places, etc.
"By no means, by no MEANS" responded
Dr.. Garlick; "those are natural, God-given
rights you cannot DO deprived OF, even by the
Invincible Eagle Club" LApplause.l
A communication was received and read by
the secretary from Mrs. Lelva lockwood do.
