DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION.
An Interesting Meeting of Old Do
miniOn Chapter Held Yesterday.

The monthly meeting Of the Old Domin-
ion Chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, held in the rooms
Of the Virginia Historical Society yester-
day at noon, proved Of exceptional inte-
rest. The names of two genuine dlugh-
tiers of the Revolution were presented
Mrs. Henrietta Bedinger Lee and Mrs.
Henry A. Wise. Mrs. James Lyons read
a charming paper relating to the distin-
guIshed ancestry of the former and there
is promise OF another concerning the lat
ter who is so we'll known to Richmond
people. Mrs. Wise is the sixth real daugh-
ter of which the Old Dominion Chapter
can boast Both papers will appear in the
American Monthly Magazine.
The celebration Of the fifth anniversary
Of the CHAPTER on the 18th of January was
the topic next upon the tapis. The West
moreland Club has kindly offered its
rooms for the afternoon Of that day, and
the reception will doubtless be marked by
that grace and elegance which has hith-
erto distinguished the entertainments
given by this order.
A vote of coincidence was offered TO the
former regent. Mrs. Barton Wise, upon
the death OF her mother.
Mrs. Theodore Whitfield made some in
teresting remarks upon the Guilford Bat
tle-fleld Association. which Is so Loyalty
supported by patriotic North Carolinians.
She said they regretted that the field con-
tanned no monument TO the Virginia dead,
10 whose bravery they gracefully yield
the glory of the victory.

Maggie King, a colored woman, fell
yesterday morning from a second-story
back porch TO the brick pavement below

City Hospital.
The woman came recently from Han

Elizabeth Bowie, No. 1l3 east Franklin

the porch at the time. ana in some
way lost her balance over the railing,
and was precipitated upon the jagged
fiagstone beneath.
Some one 'phoned for the ambulance.

DR.. Lyme. He examined the womans
injuries, and found that she was in great
pain. There were a number Of ugly
bruises on her head and a compound
fracture Of the nose. The woman ap-

couId neeognine Her Assailant.

A stalwart. repulsive-looking negro Is
reported at the police stations as having
made an attempt of assault on Mrs.
Eliza +. Black on last Wednesday eve
ming. Mrs. Black was going from her
home. on Reservoir street, to visit a
daughter, living several blocks away. She
had not proceeded far, when she became
alarmed at seeing the heavy. dark form
Of the negro stalking near where she
must pass. She had scarcely reached the
spot where the man stood when he
clutched vigorously at her throat. A tin
bucket which he carried In his hand. and
which he chung to during tho struggle
that followed, interfered with his grasp,
and tho stout resistance Of Mrs. Black
prevented his choking or sitting her
screams. Her screams seemed TO startle
the british man, and at the sound of
approaching footsteps he loosed his UNI
pleasant grip and fed in the darkness.
Mrs. Black repaired TO the home of a
friend and remained there until sufi-
GENTLY recovered from the shock TO re-
turn home She is confident she would
recognize her assailant were she to see
him again.
