the Daughters" standing beneath
the graceful folds of a huge American
flag ar'istically draped along the
main floor in the Corcoran Art Gall

that organization. The congress is
being held in the largest theater in
the city, which is packed from pit

THE D. A. R. CONGRESS-.
The Meeting Of the Continental
congress Of the Daughters Of
Revolution was Most
Delightful.

Contrary to some reports the meet.
ing of the Continental Congress of
the Daughters of the Revolution in
Washington last week was most
lovely and delightful, no fighting nor
wrangling of any kind having taken
place. So much can not be promised
at the next meeting, for another
year will bring on the election of the
president general, when as is usual
at the election of some other kinds of
presidents, excitement is apt to run
high. Only by attending the Con-
tinental Congress of the Daughters
of the American Revolution can one
gain an idea of the grandeur of this
patriotic order which now has $4,000
members, among whom are many
women of great culture, representing
the finest families of this country
IL IS the greatest woman's organiza-
ton in the world, the only one that
acts in connection with the national
congress, also the only one in the
United States that has a government
charter. The Daughters are won
derful workers. They have paid
$4,000 for one of the choicest sites
in Washington on which to build
their Memorial Hall, and have in
bank $l85, 900 toward building the
hall which will cost $35O,OOO. The
government has exempted it from
taxes. The yearly expenses of the
organization are $27, 900, and thew
receive $4,000, which gives them a |
nice sum to put by annually. One
morning at the congress last week

sequently, fifty torpedo boats may be
destroyed, with the loss of all on
board, in order to sink single bat
tleship. and the loss be equal to both
sides, while if two battle ships can be
sunk, by the sacrifice Of fiftT torpe-
do boats, the torpedo fotilla has won
a decided victory. AS a matter OF
fact, it is probable that in actual
warfare not more than ten torpedo
boats. on the average, would be de-
stroyed by battleships for every bat
tleship sunk by them. This means
that the present torpedo system is
five times as efficient as the battle
ship.
Hundreds of torpedo beats have
been constructed for the navies of
Europe. The danger from these
little hornets of the sea was so evil
dent that torpedo boats Of larger
size were built especially to destroy
the smaller ones Of the enemy.
These larger boats are called torpe-
do boat catchers or torpedo-boat de-
stroyers. They are provided with
much more powerful engines, and
are made to travel at considerably
greater speed, while they carry q
powerful armament of quick>frine
guns.

the terrible disaster to the Petropav-
losvk, April 13, was not the result
Of accident, and was not due to ex.
ceptional skill on the part of the Jap
anese naval officers, but was due
mainly to the high efficiency to
which this branch of naval service
has been brought by civilized nations.
But it is true that the japanese
probably more fully appreciated the
value and advantage of this branch
of the service than any other nation.
In order to be a competent torpedo
warsman, it is necessary to be pos
sessed of a peculiar daredevil dispo
sition. and one must be so constituted
as to find comfort in a very strenu-
Gus life, and one fraught with many |
hard knocks. The torpedo boat
warrior is exposed to the buffetting
u his little craft is, tossed

about like an egg-s6eif!k Mp
for speed; and as it is propelled
through the water by its powerful
engines at railroad pace, cutting

The torpedo warsman must he
abroad in the night and the storm.
tor such is the best time to steal un.
aware upon some giant battlesbip cf
the enemy and sink her. But there
are two sources of weakness in his
system which serve to betray him to
the enemy. The first is the terrible
searchlight of the enemy, and the
second is the glow of his own tunnels
venting the great furnaces unde. bis
boilers.
Since the duration of exposure to
the enemy's fire is inversely as the
speed ofthe te pcdo boat in spproach-
ing the ship to Se attacked, and since
the liability of 'oeing hit at any m.-
ment is also lessened by rapidity of
motion, it is evident that the tor edo
boat must seek safety ir the greatest
possible speed, and@must take il !
chances in running the gantlet of the
enemy's fire in order to get within
range and launch its torpedoes.
The instant the torpedo boat is
sighted by battleship, it is met
with perfect hailstorm of missiles of
all sizes, which makes the wafer
fairly boil about it. Just as the
modern soldier, who no longer wears
protection, must trust to
chance in charging through zone of
exposure, SO must the torpedo boat
trust to chance, for it is not built To
o'fer any resistance whatever to even
the smallest shot.
The question naturally arises-is
not the torpedo boat subjected to far
'reaier risk than the battleship, and

The lines below are based on ao actual
roam of an old Confederate soldier:
I dreamed dream last night, wife;
1 thought they'd called the roll,
And saw the soldiers fall in line,"
As they used to do Of old;
It was a solemn sight, wife
Their locks were white as snow,
While an angel gave out badges
And a shining cross you know.
The badges were for passports, dear,
To cross sullen stream
That wound just like a serpent
''Round our 'oampment In my dream;
heard the angel calling,
"Ye vet'rans fall in line!"
And saw our columns moving
Like they did in olden time.
Far out within the cleaning,
Upon the bloody plain,
could see the whited tombstones
or the men whom had been slain;
Tho smoke, it seemed. had letred away
From the field, meath cloudless skies,
And heard the angel calling
To the dead to now arise.
Deep trouble came upon mo,
For the angel from on high,
In giving out the badges,
1t seemed had passed me by;
NY eyes were sore with weeping,
For saw deaths waters gleam,
And knew 1 had no passport
: M hear me DER the stream
