PERPLEXING QUESTION,
Daughters Unable to Fix Upon Pl,
for q Public Recention.

Daughters Unable to Fix Upon Place
for a Public Reception.
matter just now exercising the Nation
al Society Of the Daughters Of the Ameri-
can Revolution, is where to hold its annual
reception, which is the great society func-
tion Of the national congress. For three
years these receptions have been held in
the Corcoran Gallery Of Art by special In
vitation Of the board Of trustees This in
vitatfon has not been extended this year.
One Of the prominent members of the or
ganization said today that they could not
expect this annually. I'VE have no mort
gage on the Corcoran Gallery" she said,
land while 1t would be pleasure to al
ways hold our receptions there, we have no
more right to this honor than any other
large society or congress that may meet
here"
The national board had about decided to
hold the reception at the Arlington but II
this is done the invitations will have to be
limited to 1900, and this the board thinks
will be quite impossible The congress will
have nearly 1000 accredited delegates, with
as many alternates, and there will be twice
as many d. A. r. badge wearers In the city
who should have invitations. The problem
is perplexing In the extreme.
1t has been suggested that Convention
Hall might be used to advantage and would
guests. but it is said to be such a barn Of
place" to decorate that the board hesi-
tates to consider this place seriously It is
more than probable that the Arlington will
be selected. It Is thought that 5000 invi-
tations will scarcely be sufficient, as 1t is
said there is already tremendous demand
for them.
The program. which is to be handsomer
that ever before, so the chairman Of the
committee, Mrs Sternberg, says, Is about
completed, and as soon as the matter of
the reception is settled will be ready for
distribution.
The president general, Mrs. Fairbanks, is
much gratifled with the showing for the
year, as exhibited by the reports of the
various officers Of the board.
1T has been a peaceful and prosperous
year." she said. I'VE are growing rapidly
and the effect Of our work is world wide
Every energy is now being exerted for our
magnificent Continental Hall. and our plans
are working out beautifully"
1t Is said that one reason for the peace
OF the year Is that the president general

consummate f1nesse in handling delicate
matters that the one who gets turned
down. in a two-sided question accepts the
situation with feeling that a favor has

When Suffrage Was Allowed in the
District.

"Aen SuHrage Was Allowed In the
District.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The newspaper report Of the speech by
Mr.. Davis before the Business Mems Asso-
citation represents him as saying that sur-
frage was first allowed in the District in
1870. This is an error, as section 2 of the
first city charter passed by Congress ana
bearing date May 8, 1902 contains the fol-
lowing provision, viz:
'The city council to be elected annually
by ballot, in general ticket by the free
white male inhabitants of full age who
have resided twelve months in the city aud
paid taxes therein the year preceding the
elections being held; the justices of the
county or washington, resident in the city,
or any three of them, to preside as judges
of election, with such associates as the
council may from time to time appoint
moreover, In the act of cession by Mary
land and Virginia, it was expressly provid-
ed that all the rights and privileges pos
sessed by the inhabitants of the ceded ter
r1tory under their state governments shou q
be continued until such time as Congress
might establish government for the Dis
trict, and as they then possessed the right
OF suffrage 1t was continued and exercised
in the election Of the local officers, both in
the city and county, and there never was
a preak In 1t until the passage Of the act
Of 1878.
1t is true however, that the mayor Of the
city of Washington was appointed by the
President down to 1920 when the law was
changed to authorize his election Even
before the adoption Of the Constitution this
matter Of home rule in local affairs by the
citizens Of the District was discussed In the
Federalist, in which Madison said:
"A municipal legislature for local pur-
poses, derived from their own suffrases,
VIII, OF course, be allowed them" and as
stated by Mr.. Huger Of South Carolina in
Congress:
He looked forward to the period when
the Inhabitants from their number and
riches would be entitled to a representative
on this floor"
In view, however, Of the growth of the
nation as compared with that of the Dis
trict and the changed conditions at the
present time, I think that the right of suf-
frage and Of local government based on
the suffrage OF the citizens Of the District
may well be abandoned If Congress will
only adopt the plan suggested by Senator
Hoar in March last, and which is, that the
citizens should pay reasonable tax on all
the property they own, and that whatever
else Is required should be paid by the sen-
eral government, which has entire control
OF the whole matter-a proposition so lust
and equitable that it would seem that no
human being can object to it.

MRS. DENNIS UNCONSCIOUS.
In Opinion of Physicians Her COndi

In Opinion of Physicians Her COndi-
tfOn is Very Serious.
Capt Boardman and Detectives Horne
and Hartigan, who have worked hard to
solve the mystery surrounding the assault
on Mrs. Ada Gilbert Dennis, have reached
the conclusion that the victim will die
without giving any clue to her assailant.
The patient is now wholly unconscious
and to all appearances has but q short time
to live. 1t is true she has been near deaths
door several times and afterward was ap-
parently much better and on the road to re-
covery. Her paralysis, however, Is more
pronounced than heretofore, and the pa
tient does not take her nourishment SO
we'll
During the past few nights she has been
restless and somewhat feverish. The
twitching of the body has returned, and her
general condition indicates a further de-
preston of the brain. 1t is now nearly six
weeks since the assault was committed.
The attending physicians received some en-
couragement from the fact that Mrs. Den
mis- has held her own for so long a time.
Drs- j. Ford Thompson, Wade H. Atkinson
and A. B. Hooe were at the hospital today,
and Detective Horne was also there After
visiting the sick room the doctors informed
the detective that there was practically no
change in the condition Of the patient dur
ing the past two days.
The physicians realize how serious her
condition is, and tomorrow they will 60
over the case and decide what If anything
additional, can be done for her. An opera
don at this time, they think. would be of
no avail. 1t was stated shortly after the
assault was committed that the fracture
extended probably to the base of the skull,
For such an injury nothing additional could
have been done, 1t is stated, and an opera
ton at this time, the doctors believe, would
result disastrously.
While the condition Of the injured woman
Is critical, the doctors would not say this
afternoon that she was in immediate dam
ger OF death. Unless there is a change for
the better by tomorrow her relatives will
fly Of Gettysburg.

SUIT AGAINST A BANK.
Mrs. Stuart Wants &5 900 Damages for
Loss of BOnda,

Mrs. Stuart Wants &5, 900 Damages for
Loss of Bonds.
Hearing was begun today before Justice
Clabaugh and a Jury in Circuit Court No. 2
of the suit at law instituted by Mrs. Henri
eta Stuart against the Washington Saw
ings Bank to recover $1,000. According to
Mrs. Stuart, early in 1895 she rented a safe
deposit box at the establishment Of the de-
fendant and placed therein three coupon
bonds of the United States, each Of the face
value Of 81, 600, the three being worth IS. .O00
Through carelessness on the part of the
bank, 1t is charged by the plaintiff, the
bonds were lost to her about the LIST Of
May. 1898. Attorneys Worthington and
Frailey represent Mrs. Stuart, while Attor-
neys Birney and Woodland appear for the
bank
The loss Of these bonds resulted in the
arrest of George Bradley, an employe of
the bank, on a charge of grand larceny. His
brother, Lewis J. Bradley, was also taken
into custody accused OF receiving stolen
property. George Bradley was tried and
acquitted, he declaring that he found the
bond traced to him in pile Of waste paper
in the cellar of the bank building, and was
unable to locate the owner. The Indictment
reported against Lewis Bradley was nolle
pressed.

ECZEMAS $
H0H IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming In contact with the
SKIN and producing great redness and in
harmstion little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
drles and scales of sometimes the skin IS
hard, dry and assured. Eczema in any
form IS tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on FIRE. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
II will keep the skin irritated.
