CHAMPIONED PAUL JONES.
MRS. DONALD MCLEAN FOUGHT
FOR BURIAL OF NAVAL HERO
At ANNAPOLIS
As President.Cenera of Patriotic
Daughters Of the American Rev
olution She Was Invited Guest OF
Honor at Ceremony.

When the annual convention of the
Daughters Of the American Revolution
was in session in Washington few
weeks ago the meetings were presided
over by Mrs. Donald Mclean. She en-
joyed the unique distinction of being
the first presiding officer OF the con-
gress who was not the wife OF some
man prominent in official circles. She
had been a candidate for this high
woman's Office for several years, and
the opposition to her election was
plainly stated because she could not
bring to the office high national
prestige, which the Daughters of the
American Revolution felt was neces-
sary to the varied traditions of the So
ciety.

"a five-foot elephant costs this
spring." an importer of animals Is
stated to have remarked, "s1 400, as
against $1,000, for which such ele.
plants could be bought two years ago.
Elephants, like all other wild ami
mails, are growing scarcer with the
settlement of the globe, and their
prices tend upward. More small ele-
plants than big ones are imported be-
cause they cost less to begin with and
because they are easier and safer to
transport, and showmen like them,
too, for the reason that young ele-
plants are more tractable and easier
to train. And small elephants are at
tractive anyway.
Then, the elephant Is hardy ami
nal In captivity and he is naturally
long lived. and the young elephant in
creases in value with his growth. So
that even with their prices tending
upward. young elephants are good
property, though even they are rather

come a finished expert in thrust and
parry in parliamentary tactics.
At the Fourteenth Continental Con-
gress of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, when Mrs. Mclean was
Regent of the New York Chapter. she
assisted in introducing a resolution
looking to the burial of Paul Jones in
Annapolis, Md, that being her native
State. Besides having local pride,
she thought the first naval hero Of the
nation should be buried near to the
great naval school.
There was tremendous opposition to
the proposition, and the congress voted
to ''lay the resolution on the table, an
expression used in parliamentary pro-
ceedings to defer action on the subject
Later it was taken up, but the congress
voted against taking the body of tht
naval hero to Annapolis and favored
bringing 1t to Washington for burial II
Arlington. Mrs. Mclean has now. how
ever, seen one of her dearest wishes
carried out, and, as head of one of th'
greatest societies of patriotic womer
in the world, she was guest Of hono
at the recent burial ceremonies of Ad
miral Paul Jones at Annapolis.

licious tantrum of nature reversed the
direction of the west wind the whole
popul0us district to the west, blocked
with fleeing refugees and unilluminatedi
except by the disastrous glare on the
water front, seemed safe by o'clock.
Van Ness avenue is fiat as the earth
on the east side. Every pound Of gun
cotton did its work, and, though the
ruins burned, 1t was but feebly. From
Golden Gate avenue on the north the
fire crossed the wide street in but one
place-the Claus Spreckels' residence,
on the corner Of California street.
There the flames were writhing up the
walls before the 0ynamiters could
reach 1t; yet they made their way to
the foundations, carrying their explo-
sives despite the furnace-like heat. The
charge had to be placed so swiftly and
the fuse lit in such hurry that the
explosion was not quite successful from
the trained viewpoint Of the gunners
But though the walls still stood, II was
only an empty victory for the fire, as
bare brick and smoking ruins are poor
food for flames.
EFFECTIVE WORK OF WEEK.
Capt. MacBride's dynamiting squad
realized that a stand was hopeless, ex-
cept on Van Ness avenue. They could
have forced their explosives further In
the burning section, but not pound OF
the terrible guncotton could be or was
wasted The ruined block that met the
wide thOroughfare formed a trench
through the clustered structures that
the contlagration, wild as it was, could
not leap. Engines pumping brine
through Fort Madison from the bay
completed the little work that the gun
cotton had left, but for three days the
haggard-eyed firemen guarded the flick
ering ruins.
The desolate waste straight through
the heart of the city Is mute witness
to the most heroic and effective work Of
the whole calamity. Three men did
lthis--three, simply, because they would
not trust their work to others-and
when their work was over and what
stood of the city for the first time
rested quietly, they departed as mod
estly as they had come. They were or
dered to save San Francisco; they
obeyed orders, and Capt. MacBride and
his two gunners made history on that
dreadful night.

old place of colonial architecture, and
1t Is only few years since Mrs.
Richie, mother Of Mrs. Mclean, died.
She also had been prominent In ID. A.
r. matters ever since the organization
of the society. Judge John Ritchie,
father Of Mrs. Mclean, served in Con-
gress and was subsequently elevated to
the bench of the Court Of Appeals OF
Maryland. He was an orator OF re-
nOwn, and Mrs. Mclean seems to have
inherited this attribute of her father.
Mrs. McLean's grandfather was
Judge William p. Maulsby, and her
grandmother, Emily Nelson, for whom
she was named, was the daughter OF
Gen. Roger Nelson, who was a boy OF
sixteen in college when the Declaration
of Independence was signed. He ran
away and Joined the revolutionary
forces. He rose In rank to Brigadier-
General for conspicuous bravery on the
field of battle. He was left for dead
ON the battlefield of COwpens, and a
British officer In passing his body wan
tonly struck his hand with the fiat OF
his saber, breaking the bones or every
finger. To his dying day, which oc-
Cured many years later, Gen. Nelson
carried stiffened hand. He became q
member of Congress and later was
made a Justice OF the Supreme Court
of the State.
DATES BACK OF REVOLUTION.
Mrs. McLean's ancestry began back
of the revolutionary period, however.
Judges Lynn and Beattle, two OF those
twelve Judges known as "The Twelve
Immortals," who first signed protest
against the British stamp act In l165,
ten years before the battle OF Lexing-
ton. have in Mrs. Mclean a descendant
who is not unworthy of the lllustrious
example Of fearlessness Of spirit set by
them. Lieut.. James Lakeland was also
an ancestor Of Mrs. Mclean, as was
also Deputy Governor Burgess, OF
colonial Maryland history.
Mrs. Mclean was educated at what
was at the time known as the Womans
College. She was graduated at the age
OF fourteen, receiving diploma which
is one Of her proud possessions to-day.
She continued her studies In history,
music and the languages until her mar
