Congratulations rendered TO Mrs Francis
NJ. Terry, of New York, by the historian gem
era over the work of the Washington Head
quarters committee. formed by the D. A. r.
for the preservation of the mansion and grounds
at No. $50 S street used in the Revolution by
Washington his headquarters. The commit
tee succeeded in inducing the city to buy these
grounds, which will now be used as a part of a
public park, while the mansion will be used as a
public museum of Colonial and Revolutionary
relics.
The New York women were jubilant when,
after the report of the president general in
charge of organization of chapters was read. it
was found that their state led in having the
greatest number of new members since the last
report. OF the 1884 new members. New York
has SOS.
The good spirit of yesterday still obtains
There were several incidents which set the house
to talking and made Mrs, Mclean rap vigorous
ly for order. One of these was that Montana
case" Miss Mary Desha recording secretary
general, presented the report made by the com
mittee ordered to investigate the case. The re-
port, after being read. was received and referred
to the standing committee, and will again be
taken up next Friday, when lively time is ex-
pected. Mrs Weed who directly or in
directly accused OF Illegally electing herself as
vice state regent OF Montana, stands vindicated
Another incident calling for a small show of
spleen. on the part chiefly of Washington women,
was the arrangement Of the programme, ar
ranged by the chairman OF the committee. Mrs
Alexander Patton of Philadelphia. Against her
the charge was made that she was looking more
TO fun and entertainment for the visiting Daugh-
ters than to business. Mrs Patton had pro-
vided for receptions, sightseeing and various
forms of amusement, which the more business
like Daughters thought might interfere with
plans for highly important matters. When the
question was put 10 vote pleasure came out
in the lead
ApropoS of pleasure, Mrs. Fairbanks. wife OF
the Vice-PreSident, who Is eX-preSident gem
eral of the society. sent invitation to the del
egates and all members TO attend reception
at her home in K street tomorrow afternoon
from TO 6. From 9 to IL o'clock tomorrow
evening Mrs. Mclean will give reception at the
New Willard.
A topic for tomorrow which awakens large
amount of interest is the question of dropping
the term general" not only from the name pres
ident general. vice-presdent general. etc, but
from secretary general and other offices in whose
connection it is used. 1t is thought the change
will be made.
