OFFICERS OF THE SOCIETY

The Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion will beleaguer Washington next week
and the delegates will represent a patriotic
army 1900 strong just as loyal and ardent
in behalf of the old flag and all that it
means as ii every valiant member wore
trousers instead of skirts. The purpose of
the gathering, which will meet in the
Grand Opera House Monday morning next,
Is to promote the interests Of the society
by free and open discussion and to perpet-
uate the memory and spirit of those who
achieved American independence.
The reports from the various chapters in
the different states are expected to be full
of interest, and it is understood that sew
eral resolutions have been prepared for
submission which will have vital bearing
upon the society and its future policy.
Considerable animation has been felt by
the Daughters over the apparent contest
for the position of president general be-
tween Mrs. Donald Mclean and Mrs. Dan
iel Manning, both of New York. Some Of
the society members, who have already ar
rived In Washington, seem to regret that
there should be anything like contest

Lear or Mrs. Manning will be chosen but
that Mrs. A. G. Bracket of this city, at
