WORK OF THE D. A. R.
Women Go ON Record Against Flag
Dissertation and POlyEamy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-After the rou-
tine business of the morning session Of the
congress of the Daughters of the American
Revolution had been disposed of the report
Of the committee on the dissertation of the
flag was read and discussed. The report
asks for q law to prevent the use of the
national flag for advertisements, to prevent
placing upon it or attaching to it devices
and inscriptions and to punish those who
treat it with indignity or wantonly injure
or destroy it. The report was enthusiast
cally received and the committee continued
for another year. A motion to allow local
councils to have constitutions was lost.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Strong, of New
York, addressed the congress. She said she
had secured an option on the old Van Rens-
selaer mansion house at Greenbush, oppo-
site Albany, N. Y, built in 1912, where
chase price was $500, Of which she. with
the assistance of friends, had paid one
third. This she desired to present to the
national body of the Daughters OF the
American Revolution ON condition that the
care of the mansion and of the grounds be
intrusted to the New York chapter. She
asked that the Daughters interest them
selves in the work of securing contributions
to discharge the remaining debt. The propo-
sition was accepted and a vote of thanks
given to Mrs. Strong.
Mrs. Mclean, at the afternoon session,
offered the following resolution:
whereas, This house has abiding conf
dence in the honor of the Congress OF the
United States.
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
Daughters Of the American Revolution, as
sembled in congress of 1899, that the Ma
tion's lawmakers should, by the passage of
suitable laws, make impossible the cleo
ton of a polygamist to public office"
After having read the resolution Mrs. Nc
Lean walked to the platform. Ladies'
she said, this resolution speaks for itself.
1t needs no comment" Mrs. Peck, of Iowa,
moved that the resolution be tabled. Sew
eral speakers who favored Mrs. McLean's
resolution followed in rapid succession. The
resolution offered by Mrs. Mclean was car
ried bv a viva voce vote, which seemed al
most unanimous, one lady alone announc-
ing a vociferous no Routine matters
were then taken up and disposed OF, and
after an evening session the congress adj

under the tropic sun at Manila.
TOM CORWIN'S FATE.
Mr.. Grosvenor CRep, o.. pursuing the
subject along the same lines, recalled the
days of Tom Corwin. of Ohio, who was in
the Senate during the Mexican war. Corwin,
he said. was the idol of his party and adj
mired by his political opponents. On one I'M
fortunate day in the Senate he said: Were
/ a Mexican as 1 am an American, / would
welcome your soldiers with welcome hands
to hospitable graves" For that utterance
Corwin had been ~repudiated by his party
and had died a broken-hearted man. When
he delivered it our soldiers were dying on
the banks Of the Rio Grande, as they are
now dying in the Philippines. 1t was trea-
son now, he continued, to stop and hesitate
as to whether our soldiers should be de-
Tended. He denied that there had been any
alliance with Aguinaldo and said that at the
proper time he would produce the record.
first order Of the President. after the
fall of Manila, had forbidden any and all
alliances of any character with any one.
He referred to Aguinaldo as a "~scallawag.'
Il can say what l desire to in two SEN
fences, said Mr.. Cannon (Rep., I'D, who
then got the floor. IF the speeches made
here yesterday by Mr.. Simpson and others
had been made yesterday in Manila, these
men would have been arrested. tried by

pie, as represented by the army and navy,

plause.l
Mr.. Simpson rose to a question of per-
senal privilege, to answer the statement of
Mr.. Cannon that if he (Simpson) had made
his speech in Manila he would nave been
c~ourt-martialed and shot. Perhaps this
might be so, said Mr.. Simpson. derisively,
adding: But to be shot at Manila is better
than to be shot here by an old muzzle-
loading brass cannon There was great
laughter at Mr.. Simpsons pun. He was
thankful. he said, that the time had not
come when men were shot for expressing
their views. He had not, he declared, crit
icised the soldiers, for he gloried in their
heroism. But the blood of those brave SOL
diers from Kansas and elsewhere who had
fallen at Manila was on the head of the
President, as commander-in-chief Of the
army.
The committee rose at 2 o'clock without
having completed the army bill and took
up the special order of eulogies to the
late Senator Walthall, of Mississippi. Those
who spoke were Representatives Allen, Fox,
Henry of Mississippi, Spaulding, Johnson of
Indiana, McLain, Bartlett, Williams of Mis-
sissippi. and Spight. Eulogies were also pro-
nounced on the late Mr.. Love, of MISSISSIPPI
ri. Those who spoke were Messrs. McLain,
Loud, Gardiner, Catchings, Allen, Henry and
Williams. AT the conclusion of the eulogies,
at $50 p. m, the House adjourned.

SHOT BY C%ONSTABLES.
Man and Wife Who Objected to
Search of Their House for Liquor.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 25.-Four con-
stables, charged with the enforcement of the
dispensary law, went at 6 o'clock this even
ing to the residence of John Stuart, a re-
spectacle citizen, for the purpose Of search
ing for whisky. They went with a search
warrant, but were met at the door by Mrs.
Stuart. She sent for ner husband, who, on
arriving. refused to permit the search.
Words followed and finally, upon Stuart
cuTsing Constable Crawford, the latter
slapped him. Stuart ran into the house.
His wife had come out on the piazza. From
the doorway Stuart opened fire on the con-
stables. Crawford returned it and shot Mrs.
Stuart just below the heart. The woman
was dangerously wounded, but not killed.
Stuart was also badly shot in the mouth,
his tongue being nearly severed. In the
fusillade that followed Constable Crawford
was shot through the left wrist. The sheriff
and several policemen arrested the consta-
bles and carried them to a magistrates
Office. The news of the shooting spread
over the city and soon four or five hundred
Infatuated men were in front of the Office
making a big demonstration. The consta-
bles were kept prisoners in the magistrates
office all night, guarded by the sheriff and
his deputies. Two local military companies
were ordered out and kept the crowd back.

SeIf-SacriGcing Physicians.
Leslie's Weekly.

Few persons realize how much our prom
inent physicians, and particularly specialists,
in great cities like New York, Chicago, or
Boston, give to the deserving poor. Many
of the most eminent physicians in the coun-
try are attached officially to large public
hospitals and give a part of their time daily
to gratuitous work among the poor. The
late DR.. j. e. H. Nichols, of New York,
whose speciality was the treatment of the
throat. and of eye and ear diseases, and who
was carried away in middle life by disease
resulting from overwork, told a friend that
his annual donations to the poor, by his
regular daily service in the hospitals,
amounted to not less than from $4,000 to
$25, 900. DR.. Nichols spoke French, Italian and
this fact made him sought after by charity
patients who spoke these languages. He
was one of the most tender-hearted men
in the profession, and his unUmely death
was sad news indeed to many a suffering
household in the poverty-stricken sections
of New York.
