DAUGHTERS ADJOURN
Congress Brings It's I,abors
to a Close.
SUCCESSFUL SESSION

SUCCESSFUL SESSION

At IL 80 Saturday night the eleventh an
nual session Of the continental congress of
Daughters of the American Revolution
closed with the singing Of America. 1t has
been termed by many the most successful
in various ways of all the congresses since
the organization of the society. Much i'm
portant business was transacted, many
vexatious questions settled. and all this
with little friction and far less confusion
in the congress than has often marked
former sessions. This was specially re-
marked by Miss Susan B. Anthony. who
was Saturday evening honored by such an
ovation as Is seldom given to one woman
.You are learning" she said later in the
evening. You have improved greatly since
I last visited you two years ago, and l
know you will go on improving"
The smoothing out and settling for all
time of the Warren Chapter imbroglio of
Monmouth, ILL., was probably the neatest
piece of political work ever done by the
daughters. 1t is the opinion OF many that
if the controversy had gone on much longer
it would have disrupted the society, for
every year each side had new adherents,
and it would not have been long until the
whole membership would have been ar
rayed on one side or the other, and the re-
suit might have been disastrous.
The daughters do not hesitate to say that
the wise. considerate counsel of the presi-
dent general had much to do with bringing
about the happy finish of a most unhappy
affair Mrs Fairbanks said: THE congress
is the court Of last resort. and proper ap-
peal from the national board to the conti-
mental congress is the undoubted right of
all who feel aggrieyed
This question of appeal is thus settled by
the establishing of this precedent. There
has long been grievous complaint that
nothing could be got past the natlonai
board. Many complained that it was auto
cratic and wanted to be the whole thing,
forgetting that the congress was the high
est power In the light of the Monmouth
Chanter decision this can never happen

way of transmitting it to its destina'
ton. The consular officer at Cape
Town, Secretary Hay stated, has been
directed to distribute the fund in the
manner intended by the donors.
President Roosevelt and the secre-
tary of state having so readily com
piled with this first request, Mr.. Van
Vlissingen announces that it is now
the purpose of the committee to un-
dertake the collection of a much larg-
er sum-, and that a systematic effort
would be made throughout the state
to collect checks and drafts for 81
each, payable to Theodore Roosevelt.
These checks and drafts, Mr.. Van
Vlissingen states, will be forwarded
to the president from time to time as
they accumulate.

Triple Alliance Makes Concessions to

Rome Special to st. Paul Dispatch:
Italy will occupy a relation toward
the triple alliance when that bond is
renewed that will be much more sat
isfActory to herself than the one she
nov holds. signor Prinetti, foreign
minister, successfully insisted during
his recent interview with Count Won
Buelow on the following conditions:
Everything hostile to Russia and
France must be suppressed; the allies
must be free to make agreements with
other powers provided such agree
ments are not hostile to the other
members of the triple alliances; the
claims of Italy in Tripoli must be
recognized; the Italian and Australian
spheres of influence in the Balkan
peninsula must be defined, Italy's
sphere covering Western Albania from
Prevesa to the frontiers of Monte

which he is to give in Havemeyer hall

President Nicholas Murray Butler in

topic was "The Chinese Language"
After explaining that the spoken and
written languages of China were en-
tirely distinct Professor Giles stated
that the former was more easily to be
acquired than French or German, but
that a proper knowledge of the latter
demanded a lifetime of study. In
pointing out how root ideas are adapt
ed by the Chinese to surrounding cir
cumstances the lecturer said:
ITO express the words .fattery' and
.treacherous' the Chinese use the char
acter meaning woman in connection
with other characters. Friendship is
expressed by two hands, brightness
by the sur aud moon in conjugation,
goodness by a woman and a child,
and so on. Originally pictures, the
characters have now become words"

EARLY COSTUMES
Interesting Collection Of Garments
In the Soston Museum.

Interesting Collection OF Garments
In the 6oston Museum.
The Museum of Fine Arts in Bosto1,
has what is probably a unique collec-
ton of early American costumes. There
are about 800 specimens, ranging from
underwear and baby clothes of home
spun linen to complete suits of velvet
OF broadcloth.
The most striking of these complete
suits is one worn by James Bowdoin
as minister to Spain early in the last
century. Bowdoin was the founder OF
Bowdoin college at Brunswick, Me-,
and an early Revolutionary patriot
who became afterward, with John
Hancock and Samuel Adams, one Of
the first three governors of Massachu-
sets. The coat and knee breeches
worn at the Spanish court are of plum
colored broadcloth. The former is ex.
quisitely ornamented with a design Of
silver thread, the same decoration on a
smaller scale being applied to the
cream colored satin waistcoat that was
worn with it.
Another Of the old fashioned waist
coats was taken from a prize ship
early in the Revolution and is thought
to have been intended for Sir Henry
FARMLAND, whose love for Agnes Sur
riage Oliver Wendell Holmes comment
grated in a poem. And there are also
gowns worn by Mrs. Lowell, whose
husband was a member Of the CONT
mental congress, as well as yet others
that recall memories Of Salem in the
days when the East India merchant
men made that city the most important
port of export and import on the Amer
lean coast.
The other objects in the collection are
more miscellaneous. There are a mum

slippers with tiny heels that would
hardly have covered a silver sixpence,
a variety of fine linen undergarments.
ladies' hoods, stockings for both men
and women, ruffled shirt fronts such as
modern dandyism has more than once
attempted to bring back into use and
weather shoes of rough carpeting made
to protect the feet Of the owner when
driving in winter weather. The speci.
mems include also many examples of
colonial ornament, among them buc.
kles, earrings, bonnet pins and even a
single silver thimble. In short, al
though the collection is considered as
only the beginning of a much larger
one, there as examples of nearly all
the things that one can readily imagine
as necessary to the wardrobe Of a lady
or gentleman a hundred years or more
ago.
Many Of the old garments have serv-
ed as models for one of the most ia
nous American illustrators Of colonial
subjects and are thus, in a way, ac-
tually familiar to hundreds Of men
and women who read books, but who
have never heard of the collection It.

East st. Louis Pupils Present a Petit
tion-solitary Boys Wisdom.
Pupils of the Rock school, East St
Louis, have presented their teacher,
Miss Minnie Cannady, with a petition
not to get married. The document is as
follows:
1--WE, the undersigned, pupils of room
No. Z of the High Grammar school, dc
hereby petition you, Miss Minnie Can.
nady, our dear teacher, not to resign,
as is your present intention, SO as to
enter the state Of matrimony, but to
defer this matter for a year."
The engagement Of Miss Cannady to
Oscar Laederach of Long Pine, Neb.,
vas announced several weeks ago. and
March 10 was set as the date of the
wedding. Miss Cannady is popular
with her pupils, and the news Of her
approaching marriage caused conster-
nation among them. They went to her
singly and in bodies, begging her not to
leave them. She would not make prom
ises to reconsider the marriage ques-
ton. Then the girls in her class, rang
ing in age from ten to fourteen years,
circulated a petition, and every pupil Of
the forty-fye but one signed it. One
boy of SURPRISING wisdom when asked
to sign replied, II like Miss Cannady
as well as any of you, and I don't want
her to leave us, but when a woman
makes up her mind to get married
there's no use trying to stop her"
Miss Cannady has not yet given an
answer, but there are rumors that the
wisdom Of the boy is to prove true.

The Awakening Of sprine,

The Awakening of Spring.
With kisses straight from heaven the soft
winds bring
The first sweet odorous breath Of waken-
ing spring,
And all adown the glade soft whispers go
To tell the waiting buds beneath the snow:
THE spring is here. the jocund. Joyous
spring!
Awake and hear the bluebirds' carol
ring"
Aye. spring is here: she comes with mil
ing eyes
And soft. white heecy clouds in sapphire
skies.
A subtle thrill runs through the cold gray
earth.
A thrill Of love which promises new birth.
The roots revive. the MOSES creep and
grow;
Through gnarled old trunks new life be-
gins to aow.
With glances warmer grown she melt2
the rills
And breaks the icy letters Of the hills.
Where yesterday the drifted snow did lie
The sweet arbutus opes her starry eye.
Hepaticas spring up from sodden mold
And dandelions Haunt their stores of gold.
Tiptoeing DER the mountain tops. she
weaves
A robe OF siivery green with tender leaves
And throws 1t gently DER the hills and
The naked forest and the barren wales.
E~mbroidering It with blossoms every
where
And seeming fold on fold with perfume
rare.
