wife of Senator Frye. and your president general, appeared before the house commits tee on public grounds in the interest of the bill, and also before the commissioners of the district. The commissioners stated that the general object of the bill is one which they feel would add greatly to the beauty and development of the city, and so far as they could speak on the subject recommended the passage of the bill.
 If the government grants Us ground on which to build our hall, we will have strong and firm foundation. with nothing to fear from without or within. At the last meeting of our congress, we had on hand for the Continental hall fund, according to the treasursrs report, $4S,7TS. This in- cludes the premium at that date, on the bonds. At the congress we received nearly s6,00o, and to-day we nave on hand $i5,00O invested in bonds, at their fair face value, and in cash s5745, total as. punt of $5o,745
 During the previous year we had raised $SOO,Oeo for our country, and now we have an opportunity to perpetuate the memory os the makers and framers of our country by erecting a memorial hall, a building that some day will stand in beautiful white light. with gleaming rays of the sun upon it, a glory to the women of America.
 The contributions to the fund at the re- cent congress amounted to s15,000.

Mrs. Estes recalled the evening when the congress was addressed by Clara Barton, Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt and other notable women invited by Mrs. Manning to address the regents and delegates.
 A delightful occasion was Senator De- pew's patriotic remarks on the evening that he reviewed the work and objects of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
 Mrs. Estes said, in recalling this occa- sion, that Senator Depew was most elo- quent in his remarks as he declared that the work of D. A. R. women Was to rescue from oblivion the ltraditions of the Revo- lution, those noble deeds of herosm which form .Gle corner stones of our great repub- lie.
 In speaking of the Continental Hall fund Mrs Estes gave me the privilege of using a copy of the report of Mrs. Dane Man ming, the chairman of the hall committee.

Mrs. Estes, twas regarded as the most mo- table success of any congress ever held by the national society. There were twleve hundred women present, showing an in- crease in attendance of four hundred over that of last year.
 '"Ihe seslsioas were held in the Grand opera house, in Pennsylvania avenue, and the assembly of patriotic women, many of them among the brilliant society lead CTS of the country, that was called to or- der by Mrs. Manning, the president general, made the occasion a distinctly notable one."
 Mrs. Manning" continued Mrs. Estes, lis a very attractive woman, and has the reputation of being ahe most beautifully gowned woman in any assembly that she attends The evening that the congress was opened Mrs Manning probably never appeared to more charming advantage. Tue table at wnich she sat was a mass of superb American Beauties, and as she walked across the stage she was envel- oped in cloak of ermIne. The pages, in removing her cloak, allowed it to drape the chair, and with the background and her rich gown and aristocratic air, she was an ideal picture and an ideal woman to preside over the beautifully gowned assembly of picturesque women"
 ''The congress-" said Mrs. Estes, "being held the week proceeding Lent, Washing ton was very gay and the Daughters were the guests of honor at number of beauti- ful events. Among the receptions was that at the white house on Wednesday after- noon, when President Mckinley received the distinguished delegation. Mrs A. L. Barber gave reception for the Daughters

The Christian

In "The Christain," which will be seen here at the Jefferson theatre next Wednes- day night, one of the greatest acts of the play represents the clubroom in John Storms church in Soho, London. This scene is representative of a social effort now widespread in London, which aims "at bringing the church to the people by help of whatsoever is innocent and pure and of goo report in their daily pleasures Thus the clubs connected with churches are often mixed clubs of young men and young wom- en. where there is dancing, singing, am- ateur theatricals, and, in one case, boxing, in immediate association with religious ser vices This social movement began with young Anglican clergymen of the Holy church party, such as Father Joy of Shor- editch and the Honorable and Reverend James Adderey, formerly of Paistry, but once of nonconlformist bodies, are now as prominent in the work of Christian social union, and none to more purpose than the west London mission of Reverend Hugh Price Hughes.

 "The Chicago Glee Club can do more than sing. The smile and the tear are next door neighbors. The eye and the mouth are joined with very small bridge called the nose. If you can make an audience laugh, it is very easy to make them cry. The Chicago Glee Club can do both.''

 Dear Sirs-I know business man on the east side of town who has for years been ailing and suffering agonizing pains in the stomach. The doctors, from Prof. Jacoby down to others by the dozens, could neither effect cure nor could they even tell what the. malady was. Ike, a few years ago, crossed the Atlantic to consult German doctors, without result. I used to cal lat his store every few months and heard his tale of woe. He said while i'll he was never able to retain his food and at certain times of day he was attacked with an agonizing pain which lasted an hour or so, when he acted madman, breaking chairs, etc.. and having to give up business for the time being Food never staid In his stomach longer than half an hour Yesterday. after a lapse of eighteen months, I called again, and 10 my surprise he was still alive and looking well. 1 asked after his health. He said he has been well for over a year and has gained 40 pounds in weight. l wanted to know what doctor had cured him. This is what he told me: About a year ago or over, a man came to his store telling him he had been sick very much the same as he was for some time, and tried Railways Pills, which quickly cured him. He at once decided to use the pills. The druggist did not have any and tried to give him another kind. but as he insisted on Railways, they were procured for him the next day. He only took one at night and he immediately felt better. lie kept up hoi d chic to edho the pills. and from the first day to this day his malady never returned.

The dys- pepsia has left me and my rheumatism is gone entirely am satisfied if anyone so afflicted will give Railways Pills trial they will surely cure them, for l believe dt all comes from the system being out of or der-the liver not doing its work.

.DEWEY'S VIEW OF
 THE SITUATION Regards Philippine News as Par- ticularIy Encouraging. CHINA SITUATION GRAVE The Admiral Says the Navy Will be Of Little Service During the Pres
 emf Trouble in the Ce-
 lestial Empire

New York, August 9.-A Washington dispatch to the Brooklyn Eagle says that Admiral Dewey came to town today from his country home in the suburbs of Wasii- ington.
 'I regard the news from the Philippines as particularly encouraging" the Admiral is quoted as saying to the Eagle corre- spondent. ''Aguinaldo's lieutenants are surrendering one after another. Whatever show of resistance to our authority there is at present in the Philippines will be kept up until after our election in November. The insurrection is kept alive by the lead. CTS, who hold out to the soldiers the hope Of Bryan's election.
 "I regard the situation in China as ex- ceedingly grave. The difficulties that our soldiers will have to contend against are many and various. The conditions that exist there are very much the same as those in the Philippine Islands"
 When asked whether in his opinion there was really condition of war now exist ing between this country and China, he said:
 "I should say most assuredly yes. They are killing our people and our soldiers are fighting hard for their lives.
 ''The navy can be of little service in this Chinese difficulty. Our warships can, how ever keep things quiet at Hong Kong and Shanghai. Our naval commanders can do just I did at Manila when Aguinaldo said he was going to take the city. l sent him word that if he did he would not find one brick upon another, and I would rage the city to the ground. This I certainly should have done If he had persisted in his purpose. The warships of the allies ought to be able to keep things straight in those cities within the reach of their guns on the coast. It is very significant the sending for Li Hung Chang by the Dowager Empress. In this day of dire dis tress it is not surprising that such govern ment as there is at Pekin should turn to the only really great man of the country. I think that the allies are doing well to keep u Hung Chang where he is. It is better for our people to have him under their eyes at Pekin."
