DISCORD IN NATIONAL
 SOCIETY OF THE D, A, R.
Mrs. w. T. Block Says society's Bill
 is Not Paid Because of Politics.

Chicago March 9-Discord has again arisen in the ranks of the Ma tional Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution and, as usual, the storm centres around the Ma ation- al President of the organization, Mrs. William Cumming Story.
 Mrs. William T. Block of this city, today issued circular letter, in which she assails Mrs. Story, for having blocked the payment of bill for S8,000 owing the firm of J. B. Cald- well G Co.,, of Philadelphia. Mrs. Block, who is chairman of the So- ciety's National Committee of Liquida- tion and Endowment Fund, the aim of which is to pay off the debt on Memorial Continental Hall, also ac- cuses Mrs. Story of playing politics.
 Mrs. Block is the originator of the plan to raise the necessary funds through the sale of certificates of des- cent on the penny day" plan. Be- fore selling the certificates it was nec- essary to have them engraved and a printing bill of something like $8,000 was incurred some three years ago This, Mrs. Block charges, is not yet paid.
 The reason for this opposition Mrs BlCck charges, is because of a rumo1 that Mrs. Block was to become a candidate for National Treasurer on a ticket, headed by Mrs. Guernsey.

QUAINT OLD INN NAMES.
Some of the Peculiar Signs One May
Read In England

Man Loaded With Mischief is the
name of an inn in the MadingIey road,
Cambridge. but it is not stranger than
many others. At Underwood Motifs. Is
an inn called The Toad In the Hole"
and in the neighborhood of Somer-
cotes. The Old House at Home" An
other inn at the same place is called
THE Old English Gentleman"
1t is a debatable point whether the
sign of THE Man Loaded With Mis-
chief was painted by Hogarth But it
is like his satire. for it represents
man carrying Il woman.
Many peculiar signs are the result
OF misconception. The Bag o. Nails"
is really THE Bacchanals." The Goat
and Compasses" is an ignorant shot at
the old motto, God encompasses us,
while "The George and Cannon" is Il
modern corruption of George Canning,
who was prime minister when the inn
was built.
One of the funniest of these corrup-
tious is 1.-The Iron Devil" corruption
Of "Hirondele" Swallow. 1t is said
that the Inn called The Pig and Tin
der Box" was originally The Ele
plant and Castle" but very poor
artist was engaged to paint the sign,
and somebody said it looked like pig
and finder box, and the name stuck
until it ousted the old one.
THE Plum and Feathers" an inn In
Oxford, should be Plume Of Feath-
ers," and The Rose of the Quarter
Sessions" was originally LA Rose des
Quatres Saisons." One might think
The Ship and Shovel belonged to the
same category, but it does not. The
reference Is to Sir Cloudesley Shovel.
