Delegates Gather for Monday
Opening of Farley; Set
For Mild Election

Daughters of the American
Revolution will convene Mon
day in Memorial Continental
Hall for their triennial election.
For the first time in several
years, the convention seems likely
to be marked by little in the way
of an election campaign, since
there is no opposition to the can
didate for the office of president
general, and she will select her
own administrative staff.
Members are already gathering
here from all parts of the coun-
try.
The convention date commemo-
rates the beginning of the Revo-
lutionary War, for it is held dur
ing the week of April 19-though
that day this year falls on Tues
day-to pay tribute to Patriots
Day, the anniversary of the bat
ties of Lexington and Concord.
Mrs. Russell William Magma, of
Holyoke, Mass, will be the un-
opposed candidate for president
general. She is now librarian gen.
eral,
Leader Many Years
She has been prominent in D.
A. r. affairs for many years, and
has won national recognition
through her work in connection
with large constructive projects
undertaken by the society, and in
the cause of education.

Bold, Confident Men
In spite of all this, encouraged in my private

than four hundred and three financial experts who,
in the first quarter of 1892 put out of business
as stock racketeers With old dme blue chips selling

penny market, these four hundred and three indi
vduals convinced that prosperity is here that
they actually to the trouble of discovering totally
worthless stocks to sell to the public. call them

pert to distinguish between kind and the other.
And another proof of normal prosperity is that
they found people to buy what they had to sell.
Whom to Ask
New York State Attorney General John j. Bennett

repeated his warning:
eff people would consult their lawyers and bankers
before investing unknown securities much grief for
the investors would be avoided"
