more nourishinG condition, and that the
work on Continental Memorial Hall has
been pushed Just rapidly the con-
tractors could perform the labor. 1t is
also stated that the membership of the ma
tional society has increased rapidly during
the past year. and that good feeling and
the utmost harmony reign everywhere.
Hall in Readiness
Continental Memorial Hall has been made
very handsome for the use of the dele
gates, and the elegant new gowns and
Paris millinery will not be soiled this year
by dust and debris. The interior of the
hall has been cleaned and busted, and looks
like the green isle of Erin in its fresh green
hangings. The pretty banners and notices
about the walls give a light touch. and
there will be flowers and palms in guam
tfty for the opening ceremonies.
The committee rooms have been hung
with red burlap, and their floors laid upon
the freproof concrete, over which costly
rugs have been spread.
The congress VIII convene al 1890 am.
The address of welcome will be made by
the president general. and the responses
will be by Mrs Robert F. Park of Georgia.
Mrs. Matthew 7. Scott OF Illinois, Mrs.
Richard j. Barker of Rhode Island. Mrs.
Leaburek W. Sydnor of Texas, Mrs. John
McLane Of New Hampshire Mrs. Stephen
C.. Langworthy of Nebraska.
The officers to be elected are president
lain, recording secretary. registrar. histo
rian. corresponding secretary. treasurer
assistant historian librarian, editor of the
ID. A. X. organ and business manager for
the same publication.
The enemy skirmished around a good
deal it is said in an effort to get some one
TO stand against Mrs. Mclean for the presi-
dent generally but failed; so it is consid-
cred that she will go in with but little op-
position. The brunt of the political contest
will fall upon the vice presidents, with
ranks pretty equally divided it is thought,
and yet ii is said there is reasonable hope
for the Mclean ticket to win in its
entirety. The two offices of the secretaries
are also being contested, is that of treas
urer general.
Few Special Features.
The special features of the week are not
numerous. There will be patriotic meeting
at the Church of the Covenant at 4:3O
o clock this afternoon the program having
been arranged by Mrs. Teunis Hamlin, the
retiring cha plain general. Wednesday night
the reception at the Congressional Library
will occur from to IL. Friday afternoon
at 80 o'clock President Roosevelt will
receive the Daughters of the American
Revolution in body at the White House
1t will be card reception. The Sons of the
American Revolution of the District of
Columbia have invited the congress of the
Daughters to patriotic celebration at $50
pm. Friday at the First Congregational
Church
There will be- AS usual large number
of private receptions and several of the
chapters of the District are arranging to
give receptions to certain state delegations
Under the head of general information"
in the program of the continental congress,
is the following: Roberts rules of order
will be the accepted authority on parlia-
mentary law" The note gees on after this
fashion: "A question of privilege shall be
entertained only when it relates TO the
rights and privileges of the organization
or to one of its members" and "A request
to do something that is cut of order at the
time is not question of privilege 1t is
thus seen that the president general does
not intend to permit the usual preroga tive
of the members of the D. A. X. to make
a question of privilege" on every point
hoping to obtain the floor when they would
otherwise be unable to get recognition.
