ingtOn HOtels-Mrs. Roosevelt Not

Mrs. Daniel Manning, formerly Presl-
dent General of the National Society
Daughters of the American Revolution, as
chairman of the Continental Hall com
mittee, at last years congress of the
society, said, in speaking about a perma
nent home for the D. A. r.:
Continental Hall is an absolute neces-
sity. We are spending 81, 500 a year for
a place in which to hold our annual meet
ing. The need is most urgent, and the
building of Continental Hall is a question
that should take precedence over all
others, and for which, in order that it be
well considered, everything else might
we'll he laid aside. I trust that at our
next Congress the chairman can report
that the foundations have been laid for
this great work.
Wish of Mrs. Manning.
The wish of Mrs. Manning that the
chairman of the continental hall commit
tee be able TO report at the coming con-
gress the foundations for the continental
hall laid, will not be realized. The hail
committee, which was fully authorized to
buy the ground for the hall and make
preliminary arrangements for its erection
has been active during the last year look
ing around for suitable sites, and at the
last meeting of the national board of
management Of the d. A. R., which ad-
journed yesterday, the site committee re-
ported the following four properties
which are available and would make ideal
locations for the new continental hall
The following are the sites: The prop
erty at the northeast corner of Seven
teenth and Streets northwest, which was
formerly the residence of the late Cen
eral Meyers, L. S. A. opposite from the
Army and Navy clubhouse: the resi-
dence OF General Sternberg, 144O VI Street

ette Square. and Judge Hagner's residence
in Pennsylvania Avenue, near Twenty
first Street northwest.
selection With Congress-.
The board of management decided TO
leave the selection of the ground to the
congress which will meet next February
The board will also recommend to the con-
gress that the hall be built either in Gre
clan or in Colonial architectural style,
and contain among its rooms, libraries,
etc, and an ancestral hall, in which mem
bers Of the d. A. R. may place tablets or
souvenir memorial inscriptions in honor
of Revolutionary heroes or members OF
the ID. A. K. II is left to the congress- to
decide as to the rate which is to be
charged for placing tablets or inscriptions
in the ancestral hall.

Plan to Have the Pope
Settle With the FriarS.
SOLUTION OF FILIPINO TROUBLE.
Proposes to HIVE President Send n
Commission to Deal Directly With
Head of the Catholic Church-Pur-
chase of It's Property in View
PrelRtc.

According to information from Catholic
Church authorities in this city. plans
are rapidly maturing for the practical
solution of the difficulty regarding the
friars in the Philippines.
Archbishop Ireland, it is said. has made
the proposal that the United States deal
directly with Rome in the matter. The
proposal is to send commission of
prominent Americans to Rome with au-
thority from President Roosevelt to act
as plenipotentiaries, and to determine
terms of prompt settlement
Would Have Full Authority.
Archbishop Ireland would have men au-
thorized to speak in the name of the
American Government to see the Pope in
person on the subject. setting aside the
intermediary of the Sacred Roman con-
gregations. 1t would thus be possible for
larger and more definite concessions to
be made on both sides. and for the pro-
posed purchase of the church lands in
the Philippines to be made in a way sat
isfactory both to Rome and to Washing
ton, even though the settlement did not
wholly meet the views of the friars them
selves.
Several Names Mentioned.
1t is reported that Mr. John D. Grim
Minis, of New York City. will probably
be selected by President Roosevelt as
one of those to take part in the commits
sion. Associate Justice McKenna, of the
Supreme Court. is also mentioned as a
probable member of the commission.
Mr.. Crimmins. in recognition of his
dsinterested services to the Catholic
Church, had conferred upon him by the
Pope, about two weeks ago. the title of
knight commander of the Order of st.
Gregory the Great of the Civil Glass.
This is one of the highest titles which
can be given to layman.

here in our own town on last Monday

Many years ago in far away Syria
Stephen Dove the father OF Mrs.
Thomas Nimmer and Miss Nellie
Stephens, decided to try his fortune in
America, but his wife would not give
up her native land even to follow her
husband. Dove came and bringing
with him his eldest daughter, Marie,

Mrs. Nimmer: later, after meeting
with fair success, he tried by letter to
get his wife to come on, but still she
would not, but sent over Miss Nellie.

took her two remaining daughters, and
after travelling many days and many
nights distance of about $1,000 miles,
through strange and unknown lands,
and then over world of sea, the weary
party reached Manning last Monday
night. Not being able to speak the
language, they experienced many
difficulties in getting here, but when
they arrived, Policeman Thames saw

were foreigners, he brought them tc

Whose Is It?

The household of Mr.. J. N. Riggs
a respectable farmer living about
three miles west of Manning, was
put in commotion about two o'clock this
morning, by the discovery of a new
born white babe in his piazza. The in
fant was fairly we'll clad, in a basket,
and with it was five dollar bill and a
silver quarter. One of the children
heard the babe crying and called Mrs.
Riggs to listen to the strange noise,
Mrs. Riggs heard the noise and being
a mother Of several children herself
was familiar with such sounds, she got
up and went out, picked up the basket
and in it was the founding. Mr..
Riggs went into the yard and discover
ed tracks made by a woman and he
followed the tracks to place about
400 yards and there saw where q bug
gy had turned around. He with two
neighbors followed the tracks until
they found where it stopped at q house
in the neighborhood: it was the only
track on the road and made after the
rain. Mr.. Riggs is naturally annoyed
by this incident, and says that he does
not know what to do, and was in town
this morning trying to find out whether
he could not get the authorities to take
charge of the foundling, that he has a
plenty of his own to look after. He
will prosecute the mother of this in
FAINT if he can prove it on her. The
maternal parent is suspected, and it
would not surprise US to hear of hasty
marriage within few miles of Man

Tomorrow is the first day of the Jew
ish New Year, 1868, which is observed
with feasting and prayer by the ortho-
dox Jews. Owing to an uncertainty as
to which is the first day, two days are
observed. Next Saturday week, Octo-
Der 11th, is the most important Of Jew
ish commemorations, and the world
over this day is strictly observed by
those who have not renounced the jew
ish faith. 1t is called the Day of Atone
ment, and it is observed by prayer and
fasting. All business relations and
worldly affairs are laid aside, and for
twenty-four hours nothing passes the
lips in the nature of food or water and
the day is consecrated to religious wor-
ship. Every Jewish merchant in this
town will close his place of business

keep it closed until the stars appear on
the night of the 18th.

Clarendon county made a very mar
row escape of a heavy damage suit last
Friday, and human lives made mar
row escape from death. While cross
ing Brewington bridge last Friday
afternoon, two wagons and four mules
beloncing to Mr.. S. P. Oliver came
near being hurled into the lake by the
bridge tumbling in with this load. The
driver, fortunately heard the cracking
of the timbers beneath him and with
wonderful presence of mind whipped up
his mules and dashed across at full
speed, only to look behind him to see
the falling bridge. This bridge had
been in bad condition a long time, ana
now that it is in an impossible condi-
tion we presume the authorities will
see to it that it is Immediately repair
ed. We are told that some OF the
bridges on the Midway crossing are
also sadly in need of work.

their mother, and after some little
time at looking at each other, Mrs.

then the eldest girl as her sis

their strange visitors were, and the
scene became affecting: there was

embraces and stareS, the family were
late in retiring and none slept scarcely
a wink, wondering if it was all a

We do not think it altogether fair
for merchants outside of this town to be
permitted to bring goods here to sell
in competition with our local mer-
chants. Our merchants are taxed to
keep the town going and these timer
ant people are not. If a Sumter mer-
chant can induce our people to go to
Sumter to trade it is all right, but
when merchant from Sumter IS per-
mitted by our town authorities to
bring his goods here to sell by sample,
it is not right, and should not be al
lowed without a heavy license. Our
town council ought to pass an ordln-
ance right away to cover such cases
for the protection of those who are the
support of the town.
