Mr.. and Mrs. A. ]. Antelo Devereux, at
Oreland, Pa.
There are few homes in this country
that possess SO much interest Of his
torical nature. 1t was at this old farm
house that General Washington lived for
sometime and there that a council of
war was held on November "a, 1T77. OF
course the original house has been en-
larged and modernized, but the walls
are still the same and the huge fire
place bear witness to age.
The entrance is from the rear and the
front of the house faces a lovely stream,
the old mill race, which flows under an
old arched stone bridge, which must be
crossed to reach the fascinating circular
walled garden which encloses lily pond
with a quaint fountain. Flowers are ev-
erywhere, pale pink pond lilies, glow

d. Ar. SCHOOL IN ALABAMA

| 1t will be remembered that at the con-
| ference in Huntsville last December each
| chapter represented pledged itself to hold
an entertainment, during the year, for
| the educational fund. If the chapters
have not done this, the state regent,
| Mrs. Cobbs, is most DESTROYS that these
| entertainments shall take place before
the conference in Montgomery in De-
cember as the money will be much
| needed.
| Those who attended the conference in
Huntsville will not soon forget the bril-
| liant reception given to the visiting D.
| A. r. at the beautiful home of Mrs.
| Winston Fearn Garth, and all will be
| interested to know that Mrs. Garth has
accepted the regency of the yTwickenham
Town chapter, succeeding its very eff
| ficient retiring regent, Mrs. A. e. Mastin.
! 1t would be most gratifying to the edi-
tor to have some expression from the y.
| A.. r. chapters, or individuals Of chap
I ters of Alabama, as to the value of
these columns to them.
Are they being read? Are they help
full? Are they interesting? They are
! intended to be SO, and in order that they
/ are the editor must have the co-opera-
I ton of every D. A. r. She solicits your
| help, and will be glad of any items that
will be helpful and interesting to other
| chapters. Sometimes a few words telling
! of some particular work you are doing,
some method you are using to raise
money for the D. A. R. school may be
| just the incentive and help another chap
i ter may need. These columns belong to
you, and in order to make them a power
! in the d. A. r. circles of Alabama, each
one must do her part.
+ Please write the editor and tell her how
she may best serve you. AS we are be-
ginning our fall work this month-all
coming together again after the summer
season--let us help each other in every
way that we may In the November
columns we shall hope to have something
of the coming conference in December
and the D. A. R. school work. The
number of responses to this appeal will
prove to the editor of just how much
help and value these columns are to
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton of Alabama.

STEAMERS DESTROYED
 BY BENDS.

NEW YORK, Feb 16-Two Seanen are missing and damage which is estimated at S50000O0 done eay this morning when fire destroyed the British steam CTS Bolton Castle and the Pacific also forty lighters to- gehers with their cargoes of o cotton and munitions of war The fire broke out while they were at the Atlantc docks at Brooklyn During the progress ot the ire Var ous explosions scattered debris in all directions
 The fire started before day break and apparently broke out from three four different places gener al alarm was sounded and the entire city and water ire departments were summoned On account of the known dangerous cargoes aboard the authorities while doing all in their power to extnguish the fire kept their men m safe positions so that harm would not come to any ot them from possible explosions.
 The flames aboard the steamers spread rapidly ana the two crafts were doomed practically from the start Fno bits of blazing cotton and other cobuShbeS from the lighters spread flames in all directions slight Wnd was blowing but this was from off shore and swept across the river The docks were at time threatened Bits of flaming pieces of the barges were picked up half mile from the scene of the fire
 As soon as the fire started warning was sounded and the sleeping crews aroused The two missing sea-
 men are believed to have been caught in the ships guar ters of the Pacific where one of the fires are believed to have originated. The men were evldentay cut oil Dy stacks of flaming cotton and they were undoubtedly sui located to death
 Incendiarism is the only clue so far developed It is further stated that the fires must have been started by
 time bombs and these were placed in most advantageous positions The guards of the various boats and oages claim that none but the crews were around the boats rom the time loading stopped yesterday afternoon until the fires started.
