THE MOUNT VERNON COUNCIL Sat
urday at Mount Vernon was a busy
one tor the regents. The ladies went
into executive session in the morning,
and the State reports by the different
regents occupied the entire day. Yes
terday morning, according to their lor e
established custom, the regents went in
body over to the old Pohick Church,
where Washington was an attendant,
and after the service they were enter
tanned at lunch by the rector Of Pohick
Mr.. Kloman, and his sister.
The 50 acres of farm land which were
given to the association by the late Jay
Gould, who was deeply impressed by
the earnest work of the ladies and
made this gift while on visit to Mount
Vernon, bring the association quite q
nice little profit.
Mrs. l.. Il. Letter, vice regent from H.
linois, recently employed an expert ar
chitect to take the measurement of the
entire mansion in every detail, with
the description of the decorations and
furnishings so that in case the building
is ever destroyed by fire or otherwise,
it could be erected again to the
minutest detail.
Gov. OFerrall and the State Board
of Visitors are expected to make their
annual visit to Mount Vernon to-mor-
row.

strange colored people might cause
trouble at time when excitement
among both races had been running
high. 1t was feared that some ipjudi-
cious remark on the part OF the speak

trouble. The Mayor kept the entire
police force on duty during the after.
