THE KINGS DAUGHTERS.

The Founder of the Order Is n Kins-
woman of Washington Irving.
1t is announced that st. Johns School,
which was founded good many years ago
by DR.. Theodore Irving, nephew of Wash
ington Irving, is to be removed to ''The
Castle" at Tarrytown, in sight of Sunny
side and the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, and
very near to the old church where Washing
ton Irving used to worship and where he is
buried.
THE Castle" is lovely place, and Mrs.
Theodore Irving. who has conducted the
school since her husbands death, SAYS the
New York World, will be charming chat
elaine. Mrs. Irving, by the way, was the
founder of the original order of Kings
Daughters. that great Christian organization
which has literally spread over all the earth.
1t began rs a little society among the girls
in DR.. Irving's school in Canada seventeen
years ago, and membership in it was
strong tie, binding them to old associations
in after years when they left their alma ma
ter and went their several ways in the world.
They adopted the little silver cross for their
badge, and their motto was ''In His Name"
The name, symbol and watcnWOrd were
not copyrighted any more than the good
works which these first Kings Daughters
were pledged 10, aud so when the larger
organization was projected, a few years ago,
and they were casting about for suitable
designation, emOlem ana phrase to express
their spirit, somebody at the first meeting
held to determine upon these points sug-
gested Mrs Irviug's Girls Society as
model. 1t had then membership of about
500.
Mrs. Irving has until this winter been one
of the Central Council of the Kings Daugh-
tiers, but when controversy arose touching
the eX ediency of calling 1t Christian
order-which it was believed would give

that the last time Sadawga came here ne

TIE CASE.


Ea, HE case. Which came on for trial few
fR12 weeks later. was very briefly and imper
Gh5A fectly reported IN the papers, The facts,
0Ak as they appeared in the reports. were
neither sensational nor interesting. A certain
Ruth Heron, aged 81, unmarried, was charged
with slabbng ana w0unding. with intent to
murder, one Henry Stoke. Tie prisoner was
r presented by counsel, but there was practically
no defense, and the jury found their verdict
without leaving the box. In passing sentence,
the Judge told tile prisoner that only Provi-
dental interpostiOn had prevented her from. be-
Ing charged with actual murder; he should SEN
Tence her to tn term OF seven years penal
seryitude. The prisoner, who appeared per
feclly HnmOVed, then left the docs.
AS reported, the case looked like nothing more
than a common street brawl among drunken and
disorderly persons. There are thousands OF I'M
married girls OF 81, who go MAJ with drink
every night and assault the ruflians, their asSo-
cidJes, though to slick a knife into man IS
reck0ped beyond the rules OF the game. ii was
not stated where The assault took place. nor
v;hat was The position OF the wounded man. nor
the relations of these twain. Therefore the case
occupied five lines and no one paid tie slightest
heed 10 the terrible wreck aGd ruin of life
That 4 girl OF p should be locked IN in prison
for seven long years, and al The end OF that time
Should be separated from the ylruouS by the

can We?

showed each other the paper and whispered.
