oFFENsE ALREADYPRovED.

The renewal of the litigation has caused
a good. deal of speculation as to wtGt
will he the result In the opinion OF almost
everybody there can be only. one cUnse-
quence of the proceedings. The offcnse
has already been proved and is of record
in the police court The defense exhausted
its ingenuity as TO current facts and cir
cumstances and fell back ON the fifth
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States AS the accounts now
stand, eX-Managcr Schoepf owes the city
a $50 fine unless he is ''pardOned" by the
court OF appeals or otherwise white
washed.
1t is said that the only ground on which
the company will now fight is that Mr..
Gray is not the manager, and that secre-
tary and treasurer is only a clerical attaChe.
They say at headquarters that no order
has been issued with Mr.. Gray's name aS
taUhed since the departure Of MIR. SchUepf.
MANAGER GRAY Y IN EVIDENCE.
When reporters from The Times called
at the office to interview Mr.. Gray, the
other day on the complaint and information
filed, they asked: Where is Mr.. Manager
Gray?'' to which the clerk promptly replied
that he was out at present
The clerk stated that complaint if ad-
dressed simply to the manager of the COM
paDy would reach Mr.. Gray. The other
clerk volunteered the information that Mr..
Gray was acting in the capacity of man
ager.
If the defense is not disposed to consume
time on technicalities by proving that the
real manager is headless horseman, and
that Manager Gray is not Manager Gray,
the prosecuting attorney ought TO win
bloodless victory.
Then again the court might intimate to
the prosecuting attorney that Saul lshouldnt
persecute these godly people, who string
wires and occupy public space. LII this is,
however, merely copjecturai.

ident of the daughters, was former regent of the New York city chapter. She is woman of rare intelligence and ability Both at home and abroad for score of years she has been noted for her success at entertaining, her recep- tions being lilSened to the famous French salons. She is one of the few veritable Daughters, her father, Capt. Hubbard Skidmore, having served in the war of independence.
 There are but few members of the Revolutionary society who can vie with Mrs. Gertrude Van Cortlandt Hamilton in number of distinguished ancestors. She is lineal descendant of the old families of Van Cortlandt, Livingston, Schuyler, Beekman, De Peyster, Gar diner, Van Wyck and others famous to history. Mrs. Hamilton has beauty of a high order, a gracious manner and a plentiful portion of this worlds goods. She holds the office of vice president of the daughters and is woman we'll liked by her associates.
 As one of the three originators of the order, its one-time vice president and editor of it's organ, ''The American Monthly Magazine" Mrs. Ellen Hardin Walworth has been from the start one of it's most efficient members, her keen intellect and marked executive ability making her judgment of value in ad- justing the affairs of the association. She is woman actively interested in literature and is herself familiar as an author to large circle of readers. She has been called upon to serve in num- Der of public capacities and was the only woman associated with forty men in the management of the Saratoga monument association. She comes from good old revolutionary stock, her great-grandfather. Col John Hardin, having distinguished himself at the battle of Saratoga.
 These half-dozen random sketches serve to illustrate the character of the National society's membership, made up as it is of some of the ablest and staunchest women of America. From its approaching congress interesting results are expected

the first call to unite went forth. Here the preliminary gatherings were held; while as the nations capital this city will always recommend itself as the place best fitted for center of a national body of American women de- scendants of patriotic forefathers and residents of all parts of the country.
 The society had its beginning at the Strathmore Arms, October II, 1890, with Miss Mary Desha, Mrs. Ellen Hardin Walworth and Miss Eugenia Washington as it's leaders, other prom inent women lending efficient support. On each anniversary of Washington's birthday since the society's inaugura- tion it has met in congress at the capital, when all business for the year has been transacted bX the officers and delegates sent from the different chap ters, and by the national officers and board of management.
 The preservation of the spirit of true Americanism is the foremost object of the society. It makes cult of Ameri can history and traditions. In the story of the women of the revolution it interests itself particularly. The heroes of '76 have never been forgot ten, but that the heroines may live equally in the memories of posterity their daughters of to-day have pledged themselves for but for the women of

! ington. Mrs. Stevenson has proved herself in office just and liberal thinker and a possessor of a judgment ' invariably to be relied upon.
 In Mrs. Mary Harrison Mckee, lately viee-president of the national society, and daughter of the first president, is found one of the finest types of the gracious young American woman. Un- assuming in manner and earnest in the expression of her views, Mrs. Mckee is a club woman and an active worker in matters of charity, both public and private. A portion of her time here after will be passed in New York city, where the affairs of her husband, MT. James R. Mckee, call for his attention. The descendent of two presidents and a signer of the Declaration of Inde- pendence her genealogy runs back to French kings of the middle ages.
 Mrs. Sarah A. Pryor, wife of Judge Roger A. Pryor, was one of the first six women to respond to the call of the daughters. Her name stands second on the roll of charter members. She was the New York city charters first regent and is now honorary vice-presi- dent of the national society and it's honorary regent for Virginia. She is also charter member of the society of Colonial Danes and vice-president of the Society for the Preservation of Virginian Antiquities, as well as trus- tee of the Virginia Historical society. She recl1ons among her ancestors Ma thanial Bacon, "the rebel" who struck the first blow for American freedom. She iswidely known as society leader as well as for her philanthropic fervor.

the revolution that war might have been recorded in history as the "Ameri- can rebellion"-an uprising easily sub- dued.
 The society deals in something more than promises. It has hung the DOT trait of Mrs. Harrison in the white house; it has contributed largely to the Mary Washington monument fund and to the fund for the statue of Gen. Washington, to be presented to France by American women; it has made collection of valuable books and relics, while its present enterprise looks to securing permanent home for the so- ciety in Washington, Colonial hall, which is to be an imposing building, serving as national headquarters and. Q business center as well as museum for colonial and revolutionary relics and records. Thus has the foundation of a powerful organization been laid whose scope will broaden yearly.
 The choice of the society's first presi- dent general was happy one, for in the late Mrs Caroline Scott Harrison, wife of ex-President Benjamin Harri- son, the Daughters of the American Revolution found leader, generous, intelligent and helpful at a period when the young society first tried it's uncertain footing.

An nristocracy Of brains-that is TO say.
an aristocracy composed of individuals
successful and prominent I'm their several
callings-seems TO be the logical sequence
OF our institutions under present social
and industrial conditions. The only aris-
tocracy which can exist I'm democracy Is
one Of honorable success evidenced by
wealth or handsome income, but the
character Of such an aristocracy will dc.
pend or tho ambitions and tastes Of the
nation. The inevitable economic law Of
supply and demand governs here as else
where and will govern until such n time
as society may be reconstructed on an en-
tircly now basis. Only tho leaders I'm any
vocation can hopo TO grow rich, but I'm pro-
portion ms the demands Of tho nation for
what is best increase will tho typo and
characteristics Of these lenders improve
The doing away with inherited orders of
nobility and deliberate, patented class dis
tinctions gves the entire field to wealth.
