Southern Daughters distributed them at
Jacksonville Chickamauga, and Camp Al
ger.
The Alexandria Chapter. among its other
benefcent works for Camp Alger, took
charge of the washing OF ali the linen from
the camp hospital, and saw that the sick
soldiers had clean linen supplied them un-
til the the officers had time to arrange for
it. The headquarters in Washington were
turned into supply depot. and some of
the most prominent women of the country
were proud to do sewing at home or at
the headquarters. The special committee
in charge of the relief work met every
week, and the members spent the larger
part OF the summer in Washington to be
present at the meetings.
AT the outbreak Of the war the National
Society requested the War Department to
place in the hands of the organization the
examination Of hospital nurses. This was
done, with the result that over /, 600 nurs-
es were sent to the army hospital in this
country and in Cuba, all OF whom had been
examined by boards composed of members
OF the organization. Until this time there
had been no provision for the examination
OF women hospital nurses for the army
With the declaration of peace the hos
pital corps, which had been Organized by
DIR. Anita NeYcomb McGee, vice presi-
dent of the society, who was appointed an
acting assistant surgeon, was gradually
disbanded, and with the return of the VOL
unteers to their homes the work of the So
ciety in connection with the war has al
most ceased.
AS result the attention of the Daugh-
ters is again directed to their historical
work, most of which is done through the
State societies, the national society hav-
ing but one project of great Importance on
hand. which is the construction of q Colo
nial Memorial Hall. This building will be
erected In Washington, and OF the $3.50 GOO
necessary for its construction $50, 900 has
already been collected. 1t will not be
commenced until the larger part OF the
necessary fund is available. In this build
ing will be located the headquarters Of the
society, with suitable halls for meetings
and repositories for relics and memento5
Of the revolution, as well as library of
revolutionary literature. The society also
contemplates the purchase of part of the
battlefield of Yorktown and the home OF
George Welton, of Georgia, a signer of the
Declaration of Independence.
State societies pay particular attention
TO the marking of the graves OF Revolu-
tionary soldiers and to searching out and
caring for the descendants of the patriots
who fought in that war. These investiga-
tons have resulted in the discovery of
nearly 200 daughters of American soldiers
in the Revolutionary War. These are call
ed the Original Daughters" and are hon
orary members of the society. Most oi

them reside in New England where they
have lived all their lives, as their fathers
before them did.
Although organized as recently as 1890
and starting with but four members, the
society has grown so rapidly that its mem
bership will soon pass the 80 900 mark, and
additional chapters are being organized
very frequently. There are now 500 chap
tiers. with memberships ranging from II
to 200. The society is strongest in New
England. Its membership is not limited
TO descendants of soldiers in the war, but
descendants Of men occupying civil posi-
tions under the Revolutionary Govern
ment. or men or women who contributed
in any way toward the achievement of
independence, are eligible -

SUICIDE OF A WOMAN.
She Seeks Death to Escape From an
Operation.

OPerdtIOn.
NEW YORK, Sept 21.-A woman about
fifty years old who from papers found in
her possession is supposed to be Mrs. Cath
crime Ketterer, committed suicide yesterday
afternoon in her room at 1122 Third Ave-
nue., by inhaling Illuminating gas. She en-
gagged the room On Saturday last, saying
that she had come to this city to have an
operation performed. She was dressed In
deep mourning
The odor Of gas was detected coming
from the woman's room yesterday morning
by the landlady and the door was forced
open. The occupant was found lying dead
on the bed with an end of a rubber tube
connecting with the, gas jet in her mouth.
In her satchel were number of letters and
telegram. The telegram was dated Shell
burne Falls, Mass, September 49, and was
addressed to Catherine Ketterer, at 513
Eighth Avenue. 1t read:
Telegram received; write your wants On postal
card; must see your signature.
CHRISTIAN.
On the bureau in the room was an en-
yelope on which was written in pencil:
Christian Fritz, Shelburne Falls; send
telegram to this address" The woman had
aSit d iSlteT aUUFeSSed. 10 FRED link IA
Howard Street. Newport, r. 1. This letter
was written in German in blue pencil and
bore no signature. 1t said:
Dear Fred: do not want to suffer. and would
rather die this way. I'll have to die anyhow. l
could never stand thef operation, and am going
to commit suicide. Don't very about me-
Always wear the ring with the green stone and
often think with love of me. Let them lay me
in Johns grave. Farewell.
Among the woman's papers was a letter
from John P. Gleason, a lawyer of I40 Mas
sau- Street, addressed to Christian F. Fritz.
which read:
Your letter received. win you please tell me
definitely the following facts:
Did Mcketterer, the first husband Of your sister.
die? III yes, when and where? Ard if you do not
know. who does?
Your sister was known the wife of Felix
link, ard presume therefore that a marriage
ceremony was performed. She took deed to prop
erty in Eighth Avenue, College Point, from Mr..
Eich, in the name of Katherine link and Felix
link, her husband. Is Felix link stiII alive? II
yes, where does he live? If you do not know,
please give the name Of somebody who does.
Mr.. Gleason said last night that the let
ter was written to Fritz in relation to a
disputed title to some property. He never
met Fritz's sister.
The police late last night had not sue
ceeded in communicating with any of the
woman's relatives.

H. r.. yonderh0rst styles the Ven
ture n Paper League.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2l.-H. R. Wonder
horst, director OF both the Brooklyn and
Baltimore clubs, arrived in town today.
after an extended stay with McGraw's
team.
What do you know about the new
league?" he was asked.
What league?" asked Vonderhorst.
Not that paper-and-ink league? Why, /
know nothing except that l read in the
paper today that the promoters are now
hunting for capital. AS far as Baltimore
is concerned, you can say for me that If
the so-called new league intends to invade
that city. it will have hard road to trav-
ell. AS l own half of the ground upon
which Union Park is located they cannot
get that diamond without first seeing me.
It is also a fact that while McGraw and
Robinson have both been approached with
offers to desert the National League, both
have positively refused to have anything
to do with this fiy-by-night venture. 1t
is simply case of building up bug boo
on wind, and / venture to predict that the
alleged new league will never play game
OF ball.
Vonderhcrst says he believes the twelve
club circuit will remain intact and declares
that the Baltimores Will be greatly
strengthened before next season.
