Convene This Evening.
MATTERS OF INTEREST FOX DISCUSSION
List of Officers, Honorary Officers
and the Committees.
DELEGA TES ALREADY HERE

The Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton will convene in their ninth continental
congress this evening at the Grand opera
House, open to all. The president general
will preside and will deliver her annual ad-
dress of welcome, which will be responded
to by Mrs Robert Emory Park, state re-
gent of Georgia. Following this will come
the reports of state regents.
This will be the largest congress ever
held. 1t is expected that about 1000 dele
gates will be in attendance The floor OF
the Opera House will be kept free for the
delegates, and the alternates will be seated
in the balcony After the alternates are
provided for. the remaining seats will be
given to the visitors and guests. Those
holding balcony badges will enter from the
18th street side; those who go upon the
floor will enter from the Pennsylvania ave-
nue. side.
There will be no election Of officers this
year, but there will be plenty Of interest, for
many matters will come up for discussion
The case of Warren Chapter, D. y. r., Of
Monmouth, ILL.,, will command good share
of attention. Its status has been thorn in
the flesh of two or three congresses, and a
good many members believe that there has
been a good deal of uDfairness exhibited,
perhaps unintentionally, but so evident as
to make the conditions unbearable. The
status of the American Magazine, the Of
fetal organ of the body, will also be dis
cussed The congress, it is said, does rot
give the magazine the support that the
publication merits. Just what course the
matter will take is entirely predetermined.
The lineage books will also come in for
discussion. The volumes now number ten,
ut are about thirty short of bringing the
lineage of the order up TO date. The work
is retarded in many ways, and those who
have it in charge desire to nave more
and hri l i{IlN
Historically speaking, 1t is considered
valuable work.
The great question which will come be
fore this congress will be that vi the Con-
tinental Hall. The Daughters are deter
mined to have hall Of their own, where
they can have their headquarters, safe
place for filing all their historical data,
their revolutionary relics and for holding
their congresses.
