REPORT OF MRS. FAIRBANKS.
Says Site for Hall Has Been Given
Considerable Thought.

The hall committee, through its chair
man, the president general, Mrs. Fair
banks. made Its annual report. Mrs
Morgan, of Georgia, was called to the
chair. Mrs Fairbanks said that inter
est in the matter has been strong and
general. Considerable thought has been
given the subject, she declared, and an
endeavor was being made to build a con-
tinental hall not only for this generation
but for all time.
The site has been the question most
agitated recently. Many have urged a
central location. The Northwest was the
choice of others.
While it is to be hall of liberty de-
voted to the D. A. r., Mrs. Fairbanks
said that it must be conducted with bust
ness regard, since the assembly hall
would be rented to others. The site
favored and almost purchased is on Six
teenth Street. known as the Corcoran
gardens. in the rear of the residence of
Senator Depew. and adjoining the Army
and Navy Club. From it a beautiful
view may he had.
One of our older members proposed
that We should inaugurate a movement
for all chapters to unite. The alniyer-
sary of the marriage OF George and Mary
Washington was the day selected when
all the chapters simultaneously might
give teas, the proceeds to be devoted to
the ball fund"
Mrs. Fairbanks was applauded fire.

Anxious thoughts sometimes perplex
the wife who sees maternity before her.
If she is treading an untried path, she
sometimes frets herself into a nervous
condition which is injurious and pros
trating. If motherhood has already been
a painful experience she is apt to shrink
from the coming trial and by her very
mental anxiety increase the possibility
OF her suffering.
There is 10 cause for anxiety for those
prospective mothers who use Dr. Pierce's
Fayorite Prescription. 1t tranquilizes
the nerves, encourages the appetite, in
duces refreshing sleep and produces
v;gor 1t gives strength and muscular
elasticity so that the babys advent is
practically painless. 1t is the best tonic

DELEGATES HIGHLY COMPLIMENTED
Presiden. General Praises
Daughters for Drawing Storm.
MAKES STIRRING SPEECH
Declares in Favor Of Connecticut
Avenue Site for Proposed Huiisi-
ing. to Cost Daughters over One
Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Many things we're done at the evening
session Of the d. A. h. Congress, highly
satisfactory to the Daughters. Among
the most important was the subscription
of s7,S7I35. raised in the course of few
minutes. for the Continental Hall to be
erected in Washington.
Mrs. Fairbanks complimented the ladies
for having faced the storm, and pro-
nounced them worthy descendants of
sturdy ancestors.
Washington crossed the Delaware when
the river was full OF floating ice said
the president general, drawing her conf
manding figure to full height and you
ladies must not be backward in emulating
his example. If he crossed the Delaware
you can certainly cross a pavement from
your carriage"
This expression of patriotism and glory
in Revolutionary stock was greeted with
tremendous applause. The day was quite
q successful one, in spite Of the fact that
Pennsylvania Avenue was sea Of slush,
with cutters at food tide. There we're
many bedraggled skirts and bad colds, but
through it all the delegates maintained
their even tempers, and made the session
h large and representative gathering.
The Continental Hall was under dis
cussion. and the pent-up enthusiasm Of
the entire week seemed to have burst
forth when Mrs. Fairbanks, as chairman
of the committee, surrendered her chair
TO vice president general and delivered
Il stirring address from the stage, urging
the congress TO vote for the purchase OF
the Connecticut Avenue lot, at the rear
OF Senator Depew's residence, which has
been selected as the most suitable site in
the city for the hall. The question will
come up again today, IL o'clock having
been reached last night before the cor
gress was fairly warmed up to the work
ahead of il.
The spirit with which money poured
into the hands of the treasurer general
after Mrs. Fairbanks report had been
made has seldom been equaled in Wash
ington.
The question of protesting against the
Park Commissions proposal to condemn
certain historical buildings in this city
in order to complete its plans came up
again and a resolution was passed de-
ploring the destruction of the places con-
nccted so closely with the foundation of
the Republic, though they were enthusi-
astically in favor of flying Wash
ington.

A Parallel.


Mr. Spooner drew a parallel between
the opposition made to Mr. Lincoln Suring
the civil war. which he said helped to
prolong that war. and the position taken
by the Democratic party against war in
the Philippines. The effect, he said, was
the same in both cases. The Filipinos had
believed that the election of Mr.. Bryan to
the Presidency meant their independence.
NO one can tell" he exclaimed, how
long ago the Philippine Islands might
have been pacifed but for that. The pro-
lOngatiOn of the struggle was its inevita-
bic effect.
THE Filipinos were led to believe
Mr.. SpOoner continued, that if they only
held out until the Presidential election
was over and if Mr.. Bryan should be
elected they would receive independence
1t is no wonder that Agunaldo told his
men to redouble their hostilties; to shoot
down. more and more the American sol
diers: to ambush our boys over there.
That was not intended. of course. by our
friends at home, but there were men here
who sent letters over there encouraging
them and denouncing our attempt to
bring about peace
General InwtOn's Letter.
In that connection Mr.. Spooner read
from IA letter from the late General Law
ton to Mr.. Barrett, Minister to SIAM
and dated October Is. 1899 to the effect
that if the anti-imperialists of Boston
were to go TO the islands they could be
convinced OF the error and eXaggeration of
their statements and of the cruel and I'M
fortunate effect of their publication. Law
ton. he said knew whereof he spoke. The
position OF the minority was continual
ton in practical effect of the distractions
which had wrought so much harm and
done absolutely no good.
