Gossip of Day.
The most important phase of the meeting
of the Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, which convened yesterday, as usual, at
Mrs. Nathaniel Hogg's was that lady's re-
signation from the regency of the Pittsburg
chapter and the election of officers, or, more
correctly, the ratification of those appointed
IN the spring. The probability OF MRS.
Hogg'S resignation has not been unknown
but this did not make its reality the less un-
pleasant. The nominations (Only matter
OF form) were made on the floor and then
balloted on. Mrs. Albert Childs was
der of Mrs. Hogg's term, and the
otner officers elected an Advisory Board;
Mrs. Nathaniel Hogg. Mrs. James 3. Oliver
and Miss Denny; Treasurer, Miss Kate C.
Mcknight; Secretary, Miss Burgwin; His
toI1an, Miss Semple; Registrar, Mrs. PARK
Iainter: Assistants, Miss Harding and Miss
Edith Darlington.
The more Social side of the meeting fol-
lowed the election, when Mrs. HOgg gave an
account of visit last week in Washington
IN the interest of the association. Then
Miss Mary Semple, a lady OF pronounced
literary instinct which has been carefully
cultivated, read an interesting eptome of
Pittsburg history in Revolutionary days.

fled members life members and l Re- eent.
This entities it to two delegates ut the Con-
tinental Congress next February in Wash

Julia NJ. Harding. Mrs. Hogg still holds her
position as Regent of the State of Pennsyl-
vania, and is, besides. one OF the three men,
bers of the Advisory Board of the Pittsburg
CHAPTER. This is considered quite enough
work.

of the Hospital Saturday and Sunday asso-
citation was held at the free dispensary build
ing, Fifth avenue, yesterday afternoon. The

The State convention of the w. c. 7. q.
at Bradford this year will be more notable
than its predecessors, because the session
will be longer. 1t opens on Friday morning
of this week and continues until Tuesday
evening, thus for the flrst time including
Sunday, when special services will be held

spicy part of the session. but there is little
feeling on this occasion. and in Pittsburg,
at least, the expectations are for O re-elec-
tion of every officer. This means that Mrs.

dent. and Mrs. w. II. Woods, of Huntington,
Treasurer, Tor another year.
