Tlic country \- becoming so flooded with European populations that any scheme for preserving with laudable pride one's family history must be of interest. "The Record of My Ancestry," by Rev. Frederic W. liailey, is such a scheme in blank, and one of great ingenuity, if not of equal simplicity at first sight. It is a handsome qusrto, ruled for names, photograplis, dates and notes, with directions for the use of the same. The Cangregatioialist. The study of genealogy has been taken up tluring recent years in many quarters ?.nd with much zest. Local historical societies abound and devote lart'C attention to genealogy, and a nudtitude of individuals arc at work upon their family trees. There is no more fascinating enr[)!oyment apart from the substantial value of its fruits. Its difficulties are very great, however, especially in respect to arrangement, and such a work as that of Rev. F. W. Hailey, " The Record of My Ancestry " [$3.00], which prescrits a simple and sufncient plan, deserves to be widely used. If the explanations furnished be read with care its coiiveiiience becc'mes evident. It contains places for small photo- graphs, spaces for references ana notes and, in general, is well adapted to its purpose. Tkc L.i-:i7ig Chitrch.

Under the title of " The Record of My Ancestry,'' Rev. F. 'SV. Bailey has made an ingenious and useful album for the purpose of tnabhng everyone to make up the record of his own ancestors. An increasing number of people are interested in genealogical researches and the study is of great fascination. There i.s no system so admira'oly adapted for this work a> ^i!.

Frederic W. Bailey, B. D. Its purpose is set forth in the preface; the designer found great diiTiciilty in arranging the complicated records of his owi\ genealogy; hence arose this lal'or-saving method which ena^lles the compiler of ancestral history to simplify the process verv materially. The system adopted is carefully e.xplained, hut is scarcely more than the easy use of blanks and spaces provided to one's hand. Coat of Arms of Governoc Br.Tclford Of riymoulh Cuiohy.

"The Record of My Ancestry," by Rev. Frederic W. Bailey, is -such a S(dienie in blank, and one of great iiigeniiitv, if not of equal simplicity at first sit;ht. ]t is a h.indsonie ciuarto, ruled for nrunes, photographs, dates and notes, with directions for the use of the same. Th : Co>i^rega iio n a lest. The study of genealogy has been taken up during recent years in many quarters and with much zest. l,ocal historical societies al)ound aqd devote large attention to genealogy, and a multitude of ii.dividuais are at work upon their f.iniily trees. There is no mors fascinating employment apart from the substantial value of its fruits. l'^ difhculiies are very great, hri\rever, cspecidlv in respect to arrangement, and such a work as that of kev. \. \V Baiiey, " 1 he Record cf My Ancestry " [Jj.oo], which presents a simple and sufficient plan, deserves to lie widely used. If the e.xpl^ination.-- furnished be read with care its convenience becomes evi'leiU. It cc.'itains places for.sm.dl photo- j;i:iplis, spaces for references and notes and, in general, is well adapted to its purpose. 7 fn" / r ill ^' Chuych. A well arranged l;ook for ihe genealogy of one's family, liv nie.ins of wiueii posterity may be saved cnclless trouble if the book is properly kept and posted. The Chrl-tun Le.:Ur. Under the title of "The I\ecord of My .\nce.-.try," Kev. F. \V. Pailcy h.r.> made an ingenious and usi.fui album for the purpose of enabling everyone to make up tlie record of his own ancestors. .An increasing number of people are interested in genealogical researehes and the study is of gre.it f.i.-cinacion. There is no system so admirably adapted for this work as >Ir. llailey's book, simple, complete, easily understood. .Mr. f'.ailey is his own agent and his book is havirg a large sale. The ChiirtK»t:i>:. This very ingenious and useful .Tibum is designed by Kev. 1 rederi.; W . Paiicy, li. I). Its purpose is set fori.i in tf'c preface; the designer found great oirficulty iii arranging [lie complicated records o; hi-, own genealogy; hence arose this labor-saving inerhoii which enables the compiler of ancestral history to simplify tiie process verv mntetialiv.

E9th, was postponed indefinitely at the suggestion of President-General Walter Seth Logan, out of rej<pect tc< the death of Compatriot McKinlev. Tlie Board of }il2nagers of the National Society, who were to have been the guests upon that occasiun of President Logan, V ere U'.tiiled to meet Oct. 14th, at New York, and dine with iiim in the evening at the Colonial Club. That the Saratoga Pilgrimage would have been a suc- ce.ss there is no doubt, and it is proposed by the Business -Men's Association of Saratoga Springs, assisted bv a local chapter S. .A. R.. that is being f'jrmed \v \\v<x\. vil- lage and tb.e D. A. R. Chapter, already there, tc make a prominent feature of celebrating Sept. 19th, and inviting all those interested in patriotic endeavor to meet there at that time for a few days' celebration. A visit to the bat- tle-field is of great interest ; the trip to Lake George one of the most pictLiresc[ue in the country; and the sights around .Saratoga Springs and a taste of the waters are well viorth the jounieA-. The Sons of tlie Ainerican Revolution were well repre- sented m Washington, at the funeral of o>ir Comf'atri' t Presidi.nt William iMcKinley, through Flie effort^ of Presiilent-Gcneral Walter S. Logan, who sent a rep-e- seiitatue to arrange f'jr a !)lace in liu'.-. Tiie r>i.-triei ui Columbia Society turned out a goodly nu.niber and the iv\arby «tates aridedmatcriallv to the gathering. The Ti"mpire State Society had their colors draped at the head of the line with those of the I). C. Society. Tlie Presi- dent of the District of Columbia Society, Noble D. Larner, rode in a carriage, having as his guest, the President- General W'alter S. Logan. -After thic services at tlie Capital, Presi'dent-Gcncral Logan did tlie hcaior; at the Cosmos Club, of which lie is a member, and a delightful repast of wit and something n:ore tangible was partaken of by the following guests : Waller Seth Logan. Congressman Cornelius A. Pugsley. He-ward DeHavcn Ross. Noble D. Larner, Edwin ^\''ar- field. General E. S. Greeley. JcLn R. Proctor, Dr. H. W. Wilev. of Smithsonian Institute.

The Empire State Society is getting a record for its banners similar to those of tl;e tlag^s of the Civil War, only in a less hazardous manner.

Ix Tin: LeiDc^.i'; Room. At th.e outbreak of the Revolution r\[asc!nic lodges in America vcere few and feeble. The eTlest of th.em liad existed less than half a centuiyv (3) and the membership was exceedingly small (4). I'ut what was lacking in numbers was more than supplied in (juality. The Free- masons of that peri'id included the flower of colom'al citizensliip and their very fewness was a source of strength. In a snudl ludge all could know and trust each otlier; all felt the need eif absolute secrecy in deliberation — of solidarit\ in action. Plence it is not strange that some of these colc>nial lodges became tlie centers of revo- lutionary propaganda. ( 5 ) St. Axdkew's L'jdok. Foremost among these was the lodge of St. Andrew at Bostoti. Foundeei in 175'' audi chartered by the Grand Lodge of Scotland in 1760, it began it_> career independent of English influence and just in time to share in the open- ing scenes of the war fi'r independence.

I'aul Revere set out u[)on his famou? ride to Con-- curd to warn his countr\rnen of the toe's approach — a ride which has been immortalized by the magic pen of Longfellow wdio tells us that "Through all our hi.-'tory -to the last In the hour of darkness and peril and need The people will \\aken and listen to hear" The hurrying hoof-heats of that steed And the midnight message of Paul Revere." And when at last the storm whicli for years had been gathering burst in all its fury it was St. Andrew's Lodge wb.ich furnishe^I the first great martyr to American liberty. Jobe[ih Warren, Major General in the Conti- nental Army, fell at lUmker Hill ; and thus the lodge which had almost initialed the war gave up its Master in the battle w Inch determined forever tlie supremacy of the American arms in Massachusetts. Xo other organiza- tion, civic or military, of its numbers, can be compared to St. Andrew's Lodge in the e.xtent of its contributions tc> the American cause.

It is difficult to o\ eie.'iimate the s;ro(egic vahie of these army lodges. In the first place tliey promoted fellowship and solidarity in the ranks and synr)jathy between officers and men. In an army wh.ere ahe Innnblesi privat-.- might sit in lodge on a level with the Commander-in-Cliief thi:re arose a spirit of self-sacrifice, mutual helpfulness and de- votion— an csf-'rit clii roj'[^s — which no hireling sol(iier\' could have. Where the clistinctioiis of rank wire lost ii: the ties of brotherhood even tlie suiierings of that ter- rible winter at Valley Forge might be made endurable. Again, the prevalence of Masonry in tlie patriotic army insured secrecy in the plaris of ca.mpaign and n lelilv in their execution. Councils of war. it is sai^l. v. en; fre- quently held in the lodge room where their dolibeiations were unuei the double se il of Masonrv and patriotisna. Generals could entrust their despatches to couriers who were brother Masons and feel certain that nothing would be divulged. Thus our eighteenth century bretiiren fonned the strong arm of the Continental service. It is claimed that nearly every American general was a ^La^^on (26) ; certainly the leading ouics were. Even the al- lies, Lafayette, the ]'''~renchman.. aitd Steuben (21) and DeKalb, the Germans, were members of the order. John Paul Jones, the founder of our navy, i- knov.-n to have petitioned St. Bernard's Lodge at Kirkcudbright. Scot- land, and probabl} was a member of it. (22) Had the Freemasons been withdrawn from the Continental forces the Revolution must have been a dismal failure. Masons in the British Akmv. But we must never forget that not all Freemasons of the Revolution were enrolled in the patriot ranks — that they wete nimierous in the invading army as well. Ross, the historian of the Grand Lodge of New York, records as operating during the v, ar in that state alone tnore titan tliirty British nhlitarv lodges. And to the fact that Masons were actively engaged on both sides is due some of the most eratifving incitlents of the war. It has been said that the fairest flowers are those that bloom over the wall of partv ; but how much more must be said of those thru bloom anhd the strife of armies. F^arlv in tlte war an event occurred that proved the strength of the ]Ma>onic tie^ At the battle of tlte Cedars near Montreal. Ceil., j'l'ni .McKinstry, a Freemason, was captured by a band of Ini;lians, allies of the British, whose chief v.-as the celebrated Joseph Brand, also a Vlas'ou. In accordance, with savage custom the prisoner \vas bmuid to a stake, fagots v.ere piled around him, and tb.e torch was about to be aiiphed, when, he gave to Chief i'.rand the sign which Masons know the -weM'ld around — the grand hailing sign of distress. Imlian tliough lie was the chief recogm'zed tlie si'_,oi and ordered the t'-rture to cea.= e. an'! he and his eatJtive became fan frieruls for the re-st of tlieir lives (-'3). Agaiii. in [770.

This tavern served as a n.ieeting palace for St. John's Lodge, wliich was comijosed mostly of b.rit'sh oflicers. The fugitive was secreted in the t.avern garret which was jUst abo\e tlie lodge room, and while he uas reclining at night on the planks wlu'h lonnc'l the garret tlonr i1k>c gave uav and ijixcipitated the unfortunate gia'st into the center oi the I'ldge in the \ery midst of its deliberaliDns. I'lie l.ind!i)rd wh(-> was al>o the Tiler, was called upon h^r an e>;planation and lie like a good Mason maJe a clean breast of the whcT; aft'air. Whereupon the mentbers of tlie krlge took- u]i a contribution for the fugitive brother and, ih'iugh bis enemy in war, assisted him to reach the American lines across ilic Hudson river (24). Another instance of Masonic magnanimity occurred when the Iirave Baron UeKalb. our German ally, was slain at the baitie < n" (.'amden in 170O. Although he had crossed the Atlantic to lake ]\<.n in .a quarrel that was not his, against tb.e Iha'tish, he was buried by them with both .Masonic and military honors (25). }>1asonic SriRiT Among thf, Ami^kioans, d'hese are ilhiS' nations wdiich, thanks to Alasonic teach- ing, reveal the fcie in a better light tlian we are wont to think of him. Let us notice some expressions of the same spiiit on the .American side. Lodge LiiiLv No, 16S was a ScC'ttish militaiy lodge in tlie iTtli foot of the British army. In 1779 while the regiment was engaged in a skirmish, the constitution and jewels of the lodge were lost, but were returned to it by Col. Parsons of American Lnion Lodge in the oi)[iOiiiig army (26). A more striking instance occurred when the ^Masonic chest uf tlie 46th I'lritish infantry Avas caiJtured by the .Vnicri- can. Wdieii Gen. \\'ashingtoii heard ol it lie ordered the chest and other articles of valtie returned to the owners accom[>aniedi by a guard of honor. (27) The London Freemasons" Vlagazine, commenting en the circumstance, fre^ni an English standtioint, says: "IT.e surprise, the feelings of both officers and men ma)- be imagined vlien they perceived the fiag of truce that announced this elegant ecjinpliment from their noble opponent but still more noble brother. ITe guard of honor, their flutes playing a sacred march, the chest con- taining the constitution and implements of the craft borne aloft like another Ark of the Covenant, equally by Fng- lislnnen and Americans, who. lately engaged in the strife of war, now' marched through the enfiladed ranks of the gallant regiment, that, with presented arms and colors, hailed the glorious act b_\" cheers wliich the senti- ment rendered sacred as the hallehijahs of an angel's But perhaps the most significant illustration of tb.e effect of j\Iasonry on the war was the action taken by the Grand Lodge of Scotland. It is well ku'r^wn that tb.e war was unpopular in many parts of Great Britain but some of the subordinate Scottish lodges, urged perhaps b_\ gov- ernment Lifncials, had ofi'ered bounties for recruits to the army. Wdien the tjrand Lodge met it condemned this practice in unmistakable terms antl in its instructions de- clared : "iMasonry is an onler of peace and it looks on all man- kind to be brethren as Vlasons, whether tliey be at peace '•r at war wdth each other as subjects of contending cotin- trie-," (28) d"!:ir.- above tr.c .-teim and stress of armed strife the soothing spirit of IMaseuiic fellowship brooded like a bird of calm. If Mbasons prcci[)itated and promoted the strug- gle for independence, they likewise mitigand its he^rrors and made possible tb.e disclosure of the ih^blcst trails '"n bn;li .Americaii and Briton.

It is a notahle fact that the earliest suggestion oi' a Federal union ef the American colonics came from the first American Grand Master. JJanici Coxe, who in 1730 received a deputation as Provincial Grand JMaster, made this suggestion in a work pnhlishcd as early as 1710, [J')) and may tlicretorc projterly be called the hr.-^t hVdeialist. It was tliis idea, adopted later and advo- cated b^' ariother eminent Mason and Provincial (iratul "Master, j^enjamin Franklin, that grew into the imion estafilished bv the constituiion framed sevent}' years later. Tlic declaration of Independence, whether penned by Paine or Jefferson, was the worlc of a JNIason (30) and manv of the signers of tlia.t in>lrmrient arc believed to have been members of ovr ord^r (31). h'reemasons were foremost in the Philadelphia Convention that framed the P'ederal Constitution and thus completed the work. of the war. Besides Washington, the President, and Franklin, the Nestot, of that body, Hamilton, th.e genius of the Convention, was a Mason. (^32) At the Courts of Furove. But after all it may f)e that [Masonry's most effective service to the Ainerican cause was rendered not at home but abroad. ^Ye know that the aid of France was a pow- erful, if not indispensable factor in the outcome of the v.-ar and that the sympathy of other Continental pov.ers was advantagec)us. Ijut why should these haughty monarchies look wdtli favor upon t'lc struggling repub- lic? Why did they not turn the same deaf ear as recently to the Boer cnvoy,>? There seems to liave been some mysterious intlucnce which changed their once liostile at- titude into one of friendship; and recent investigations have led to the beb'cf that this influence was the ]\Iasonic order. ( 33 ) W hen Franklin, the Freemason, went to Paris .to p.lead the American cau-e at the court of St. GeriTiain he naturally sought out the members of the fraternity. At the "Lodge of the Xine }iluses" wdiere he often attended, he met the intellect and statesman- ship of the gay Frencli capital and it is believed that partly, at least, through these influences he was enabled to reach the ear of Louis X\'I, to secure for us the French fleet and army, and thus to turn the tide of the war in favor of tlie American cause at its darkest hour. And titus the record of "Masonic service in tlie Revolution is complete. There was no part of it in wdiich Masons did not share and no important phase which would probably ha\-e succeeded but for them. But my brethren we fail to grasp the fuli significance of this noble record if we see in it only a source of pride and gratification.' It is all this but much more, for every page imposes duty, obligation, responsibility. If it be true, as th.e record seems to teach, th:it American inde- pendence was largely brought about by Masons, and that to this end the best energies of the craft were devoted in the trying times of the Revolution. If our predecessors gave "their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor" to statt the republic on its glorious career, surely we can best prove true to tlie traditions of Atnerican Mas'^nrv bv continuing th.e work which th.cy began. Our aiivantages. if not our opportunities, are greater than th.eirs. The feeble fraternity of that day has become a po'.verful order ninv — -from a few thousands it has g;ro\vn to more th.ui three quarters of a million, carefully selected frum the ranks of American citi"/e;rdii[j.

Presidenc General, No. 27 William Street, New York, on ^Nlonday. Octo- ber 14th, 1901, at th.ree P. M. MR. LOGAN : Mr, Burleigh is here at the request of the President of the State of Washington Societ.v, and 1 am sure you will be glad to have him act as proxy for Mr. Young of that state. I have here Mr. P.-tcheller's authority, to appoint Mr. Cornish as his proxy. If there is no objection, ^ifr. Bur- leigh and Air. Cornisli will be welcome among us. This meeting is an adjourned meeting, caked as a substitute of the meeting appointed to be held in Saratoga on the day of the President's funerab Instead of holding a meeting of the Board of Managers in Saratoga, as planned, all of the members of the Society, whether members of the Board of Managers or Executive Committee or nut, attended at the funeral, and those of us who were there Icnow that the society made a credita- ble 'I'here were a considerable number, I should think one hundred, in the procession, and we were accorded a place of honor, and I think it was fiie general remark of every- body who saw the procession that the Sons of the .\merican Revolution had no incijuspicuous part in the sad ceremonies attending the President's funeral, _ I asked you to com: to New Y'nk: bectmse I could do m.ore with you when I got }-ou here tli.m if I had you sr.mewhere else, and because this is th.e center of the universe. The Secretary, Captain Grr lie I asked my stenograplier. at his rerinest. to take the minutes of the proceedings, and Captain (jro,s will have them. I think that the first thing that '.\ e sliotild do is to ratify the appointment of the :iiti\e Committee. When the convenrion v,as hcbl in Pitt-luirg Col. Logan kept tr. going so fast that we didn't lia\e a ehanci: to holda meeting of th.e Board of Mariagers thcie. -V^ y.iti kn'nv. a meeting was called m Saratoga, and tliis is practv-ally the adjournment of that meet- ing. But there was nr> meeiiiiir of the Board of Managers after the election in Pitt=iuirg, .md before the year-b'-'ok was published, and Captain Gro^s ti-'.iuvlit .it was very uniiMrtant that tlie F£x- eentive Ci-'rnmittee ^li.n'.M appear in the year-book, and he and I corresponded and V'ok tin- sense of the inembers of tlie so- riety as best v. e could. I ihink we in some way got in commu- nication witli most of thrm, and agrei-d upon the names as they are in the year-boi.'k. It was an informal way of making the appointment, but it was the only way th.at seemed open to us, for we coujdn't get the meuibers together for a formal nieeting, i he ConstituiKui requires that seven members of the Sjciely, with the President, shall constitute th.e Executive Committee. J lie Seven members that are printed in the year-book, and who will constitute tlie Executive Committee are Hon. Franklin Murphy, 01 New Jersey; William W. J, Warren, of New York; Capi. Saimiel Eberly Gross, of Illinois; Gen. Francis H. .-Vpple- ton, of Massachusetts; (jcn, Edwin S. Greeley, of Connecticut; Charles W. Haskins, of New Yoik; John Paul Earnest, of Dis- trict of Columbia. All the memi.iers of the Board tliat we could get at were consulted about the appointment of these gentlemen, and till agretd to tliem. If it is your pleasure, a motion is in order to lormally appoint them as the Executive Committee. It was moved and seconded that tlie appointment of the E.\- ecuiive Committee, as named in the ytar-book, be ratified and continued. Carried. iNIR. LOG.-VN : No'v we are open for whatever other busi- ness IS before tile meeting. 'J'he principal thing to be done i^ to fix upon the place for holding the next annual congress. At the adjournment of the Pittsburg meeLing the society ^vas dazed. We thought we had done a pretty good thing w'hen we had you in New York, and we were proud of it. Pittsburg made -New "i'ork take a back seat, and nobody seemed to want to take the contract to try to eclipse Pittsburg. But the society has rallied, and while it was impossible at Pittsburg to get any- body to suggest that we might come, we thought soir.e of hiring a camp in the wilderness and liolding a meeting there. Now the invitati(Tns come in so tluck and so fast we don't know what to do with them. My friend, }.[r. Earner, of Washington, has an ln^-itation concealed in his pocket, and Air. Wallace McLean ;s here to enforce it. Gen. Greeley, of Connecticut, brings a most cordial in^dtation from the Connecticiu Society — J tlilnk it i:? the largest society in the country, although Connecticut is such a small state. I ha\-e a telegram this morning IrCiU Mr. Batehelier, of New Hampshire, asking us to n-eet at Portsmo»uh. I ha\'e just received a letter from General Alerrick. President of the Louisiana Son-, asking us to meet ;it New Orleans. The Minnesota Society say that they would be \ery glad to h.ave us come to St. Paul. The Utah Society think we ought to come to Salt Lake City, and the California Society has intimated thtit there were two sides to the United States, I think that mcist of the other states and territories would invite us if g;\en a little more opportunity. Gentlemen, the meeting is yours. .\.tR, LARNER: As you struck me first. I will have my say first. With all the talk that has been made that New York was nothing in coir.parison with Pitt-hurg. etc., that leaves me to say this, wdiicti covers the -Aholc thiihg. and that is. that we ha-reti't but one city in this nation. We ha\e a good many places with large houses and many people, but we have but o.ne city, and we think that Washington i> the place for the Na- tional Society to meet th.is year, if not the following year. We are prepared for you and want you to cune. I have'been to a great many of your meetings, and the only thing that has maired the pleasure of the eutertainments h.as been this, you h.ave always 'fictui in too great a hurry.

MR. W'ARlvEN : In speaking of the facilities of Xe\v Hamp- shire, my bu>ines.s frequently calls me to Portsntouth. and I wish to say that they have one of the finest hotels in New .England. It has a magnificent dining-room — hardly large enough perhaps to accorani.odaie all the delegates. It is a delightful old cit}-. in excellent location, being about cqui-distant from Boston and Portland, and some time, if not next year, I think we should be very glad to accept their invitation. I give you that information because I think they base facilities to enter- tain. GEN. GREELEY: In regard to facilities. New Haven is go- ing to entertain Tie.xt week ttn th.ousand peopb: outs'.de of the citv, so we think we have facilities. MR. EARNER: No place has facilities like Washington. As you all know we liave the greatest number of facilities. We ha\e more houses than we can fill. JUDGE. HANCOCK: I don't represent anybody, and there is nobody here to represent the place for which I intend to speak. Rut looking at the good of the society, it seems to me that if it is expedient, the best place to hold this meeting would be in New Orleans. There is a large population, plenty of news- papers. It is the representative eity of the South, and in tiie South we need particularly to strengihen this society. Look- ing at it from that point of view, it seems that it wou'd very much strengthen us m the southern portion of our country — our connnon country now. There is another reason why it would be a goad tlvng to d.^ it. and that is that it is a most pleasant period to ge) South, You can find no pleasanter journey than down there. it is blooming witlt flowers, the warmth of the sun is just beginning to be felt, and I have no doubt if it were not for the expense, which is of course an item, we would probably have a much pleasanter time down in New Orleans il:an anywhere eLe. There are two objections. First, are th.ey cble to take care of us? Is tliat society strong enough? I know in a case of the Penn- sylvania Society, we hesitated as to whether we could take care of the society when it came ti~> us. It might be that they wouM do as we did, go out and get some a--istatice from our members. They arc very loyal _and kindly. The other cibjectit^n is the ex- pense to get there. With those twc) exceptions, I would very Miiich prefer New Cbdeans on accouTit of the berent to the so- ciety, than aii>- other place. -^iR. IIASKINS: To meet Mr. H:incock's suggestion tliat it WMuld be bet.ter for us to go South, T think New Orleans is a little !;■ 1 far away and we wouldn't be apt to have a large convention there The next pLiee t."' go which is 'adjacent to the s'~>uth is Ua>hMigton. It is a natural meeting place, and as we are fav- ored this year witti an invitation from the capital of this country, it seems te> me that with all due deference to Cotmecticut. this ^e'cieiy ought to take advantage of its invitation from Wasldng- 'oii. It wil-l ilo the society more good to meet in Wa-hingion than to meet in New Orleans or in Connecticut or in California. ^\ e will have a larger convention there. I am certain that it ^'. dl he a very creditable meeting in every way and it will meet •^Ir. Hancock's sugge:>t!.,'n to go south, and we will have a la'■^er convention than in New Orleans. GEN. GREELEY: Tlie otie forcible argir.U'-nt that has uee prestrued is ihe gi;..jd of the society, and that is what I has niost at heart.

Carried. It was moved and seconded that the thani;s of the Board c Managers be extended to the District of Columbia Society fo the invitation which wa-: so enthusiastically accepted. MR. CLARK: The Congress in Detroit in iSgg, voted t present medals to those members who served in ti;e War wit Spain. There is some little difficulty in deciding who are, enti tied to those medals. The Society voted that they should b awarded only to members who were actually under service fror the L'nited States. There were a mmiber of applications frci other members. There were a number in Ohio who did goo service to the state but were not United States officers. I works all right to restrict the meda! to those wdio were acttiall in the Uniied States service arid I simply brought it up to se wdietber the comrniftee and .Board would continue that rule. MR. GREELEY: I think it ought to be continued. It wa fully discu'^;e,j at tlie time the resolution was ottered and passe and I think we would better let it rest where it is. It is broa enough. > JUDGE WHITEHEAD: President McKmley was a membe (jf our Society. I believe he held it in the highest honor. I seems to me it would be no more than right that this Boar, of Managers should pass a r(:s.)liition or resolutions in relatio to his deatii and especially in connection with the society it self.

What we propose to do is to have th. '-e societies who have done anything, turn in cuts, descriptions, etc. We want to m.ake a history of the society, showing wliai has been done. We think to put a copy of this bo^k invu the libraries v.'ill vciy much increase our membership. We have subscriptions from the following. Walter S.

Tn each stale there has been a member appointed as the committee man of that state. From him we ask a list of names of people whom he thinly- arc will- ing to contribute to the the illustrating of the book. We have to^pnt in pictures of President McKiniey, ..Admiral Dev.ey. etc.. and he is looking outside for subscriptions. Tb.e resolution is as follows : (Copy). The Gen'.Tal Board of Managers and Executive Committee of the National Society, in session at New York Oct. 14, I'Xir. heartily endorse the Report of the publication Comm'ttee and call on the State Societies to urge their membership to rnake individual subscriptions to the work, and otherwi-e assist :n its distribution. We feel that this work will du more towards making the So- ciety kno\sn and increasing its membership, than any other effort yet made by the National Society.

A friend knowing me to ha\'e Johnson and Brent bio-"d in m> veins, kindly sent me a clipiiing ciMitaining yijur article, wdiicli d(e[ily interested me.

Dr. Mitchell was a native of Edinburgii, Scot- I.md, and soon after his arrival in thi- countr\ was app,:<inied Surgeon-General to the Indian Department of Canai.la. with IiLadquar^crs at Mackinac, then a British .Fort. Ihe h.ouse he built is, I believe, still standing, and is one of the "show places ' of that charming sumtner reso.rt. I have a sutall piece of the carved wood taken from abi.n-e the mantel of e,r,e of tlie flre- [ilaces. Dr. and Mrs. Mitchell had a large family, ail long since dead. One son, James, an officer in the British X"a^'y. was killed in -i . battle at sea. Their eldest datigh.ter, Louisa 'my mother's mother), was born September 22. i~~~. married En- sign, afterwards Captain Jai'ne- Alattliew Ha.milton. of H. M. ."th Foot and 7th Dragoons, X'oNemiier 15. T702. and she died of con-umption in England December 23, tSo2. They were married by Dr. Mitchell, wlio was a Justice of rhe P-.'a.'e. as tlierc were no mimuvrs of any denonvination in thai part of rhe country at that time. Soon after this the 'regmicit was orderci to .Viagara. and they were there married hy tb.e Rev. R -bert .Ad- dison in oid St. T\Lark's Miiitarv CJiurcii. I think the tlr-t marnai;e recorded.

Mr. Ihuen seized his gun and went to tlie iray, doing Iiis j-art as one of th.' "dioj-nets"', as Knyphau;cn srylnj them, whicli, esccuiced in cvcrv tree and bush, poured a dead!) fnc upon the Britibh column. ?^Ir. P.iaien's litLle bo}'. lchal>od, tlien six years old, was in seho.j! at the time of the alarmi. The school- house was situated ujx'ii the spot where at present stands the Madison Station of the Uebn are, j^acka- wanna and Western Railroad. The teacb.er was the Rev. Ebenezer Bradfi;>rd, pa-tor of the Presbyt;'rian church, of lUittle Hill. His assistant in tlie school was a young graduate of Pr'ncetou Ce.llege, named Ashbel Green, the son of Rev. Jacfib Green, of Hano'\'er, famil- iarly kne~io,n as "Pardon Green.'" Young Green d'S- missed the school, seized a musket, and went to the battle, v.lierc he di.-tingui.-lie'J. himself by conduct ^^■hich won mention from the commander in Ins report of the action. Ashbei Green became afterwarrls tlie Presidtnt of I'rincton College. Little Ichabod Brucn hurried Iv'me from rlie settool- house and found that his motlier had tlie ox team be- fore the door, and was loading it witii furniture to remove to a place of stifely in the woods. Hanpily the British were checked and flight wa^^ unnecessary. It illustrates the dangers of tlie war which threatened th.e people with the loss of ilieir homes. fcT wlierever tiie British tmd Hessian:- went, thev burned every house. The fa'^mers thus realized that the t^.i^'ht was ni:>t rirdv lor countrv, out ua' • I, -. me ann the sc-einer tuev wei''t to meet tiie enemy, the more tliey would have left at tbie homestead.

J. SOCIETY, S. A. R. IJynin sun;;- at the Tlia'.iksgivir.g celebration near York, \'a., before the Division of .-vnierican Light in- fantry, under tlie connnand of the ^Marquis de La Fay- ette, Nov., 1781. The sermon was by Israel Evans, A. jNL, Cliaplain to the troops of New Hampshire. To him who led in ancient days The J lebrew tribes, your anthems raise; Tlic God who spoke from Sinai's hill Protects his cliosen jjcuple still. Not to ourselves success we owe By help divine we crush'd the foe, In sword and shield \vho vainly trust Sliall soon be humbled to the dust. How vain all arms, the shield or spear, Unless the^'oul disdains to fear; But terror must their hearts annoy Who came to murder and destroy. Those leaders fam'd, untaught to bow — Where are those hostile captains now? — The soldier rough, in steel arrayed, Where is the sleeping soldier laid? Lost ! — to the lands of darkness lied, Or captive to your standards led, Behold that boasting, bloody band Who came to waste your native land.: Praise Him who gives us to repel! The powers of IJritain and of Hell, W'ith thankful hearts his goodness own, And bow before Jehovah's throne. (Title page of Sermon.) Discourse delivered near York, in \'irginia, on the me- morial occasion of the surrender of the British Army to the allied forces of America and France. By Israel Evans, A. M. I. Samuel \ II, 12. Also preached, Philadelphia, 13 Dec, 1781, Printed, Philadelphia, 1782. (46 pages.) Rev. Israel Evans was at this time (Sept. 7. 1791) minister of Concord, pastor of the Congregational Church. He was a great admirer and friend of Gen. Washington. It is related that in his last sickness, being visited by Rev. Dr. ^McFarland. The latter prayed for him : "That at life's close he might sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of God." To which Mr. Evans audibly added, "and with Gen. Washington, too." He died in Concord, N. H., March 19th, 1S07, in the 60th year of his age. Gradu- ated at Princeton College, 1772. — X. H. Provincial and State Papers. Morristown, N. J., Nov. 6th, 1901. Dear Sir and ( "umpatriot : The Board of Managers, at its last meeting, dii-ected the President to write each member of the Society, and call their attention to the Register purposed to be pub- lished by the National Association. In accordance with that direction, I write this. The Register will be a book of i.ooo pages, edited by Mr. A. lioward Clark, General Registrar, and pub- lished by Mr. L. H. Cornish, editor of the Spirit of '76, under the supervision of the Committee on Pub- lication. I understand a circular has been mailed to every member of our Society, which states, fully, what is pur- posed to be printed, in the Register. I refer you to that circular, to learn just what will be found in the volume. You can rest assured that every promise made bv the publisher will be performed. The main feature of the publication will be the list of members of the different State Societies, and their genealogies, with names, alphabetically arranged, so as to facilitate examination. This alone will make the book invaluable. Besides there are other features, add- ing interest and value to the publicstion; such a: the histories of the State Societies, with illustrations of monuments erected by them, and of liistoric revolution- ary places preserved by them. For other matters con- nected with the volume, I refer you to the circular. The price of the book is put at the exceedinglv low rate of S2.00, and it is very doubtful whether the pub- lisher will be remunerated by that amount. It is tb.cre- fore very important that the subscriptions should be as tuuricrous as possible, and also, that subscribers should at once send in their names. It is purposed to publish the book so that it can be delivered by the 22nd of February next. I commend this publication to you and have no doubt it will be a valuable addition to your libraries. Yours, &c., JOHN W^HITEHEAD. President. (^ YOUR COAT OF ARMS painted on Ivory and framed in Sterling Silver is a dainty addition to your dressing table.

The State Societies are not to be held to their former subscriptions and can use their appropriations to sup- ])ly their State Libraries with a copy of the book, tliis would be the best kind of recrniting literature. As the bof'k will be in constant use for reference, and thiise handling it would come to know what a membership in the Sons oi the American Revolution tneant. In several instances individuals have given coipies to each library in their native State, others to a section where they are interested. Some of the State Societies have paid to have the illustration of some prominent iiicrnber inserted in the work, and some States have renieml.iered th.eir famous dead in the lilce manner. Thic forms are expected to close tlie last eif IJecem- her, so all matter intended for tlie worl: must be sent in I'lfnve that date. It has beet] arran.ged to add to the National Register the names of all new members, who i"in. yjrcvious to I December first, and a large increase in die membership is possible.

The declicalion o^ the Nathan llale school house at New LoncUm, Conn., June 17th, was in e\ery way a success. Beautiful weatlier brought out a large crowd to witness the military display and the military display acted as a magnet to draw the crowd to where, under the shadow of the old school, orators could instill into the minds of their hearers the principles of our patri- otic Societies, and show theni that some things, some times,, were accomplished. The exercises consisted of a march through the prin- cipal streets of New Londtnn., by troops and members of the Regular Armv. The Putnam Phalanx of Hart- ford, in their contiriental uniforms and the members of tile S. A. R. and S. R., quite a delegation of the Em- pire State Societv were present with their colors. The exercises at the school \sere opened with prayer bv Rev. Edwin S. Lines. Chaplain Cf^nnecti'mt .S. A. R. Ertiest E. Rogers, Presitlent Nathan Hale Chapter S. A. R.. welcomed-the guests. The response au'l delivery of the kevs of th.'e school house to the State Regent D. .A. R. was by Ji.^nathan Trtunbull, Presidetu Connec- ticut S. A. R. Mrs. .'^ara T. Kinney, State Recent. acre[)ted kevs in behalf of Lticretia Shaw Chapter D. A. R. ' ' . The Historical address was bv Proftssor Johnson, of New York ; and the poem. "Tn Drimi I'eat andi Heart Peat." was recited with nu'.ch. -pir't b.y Ma-ier Marcus Ti'uvtir, (>f th.e Nathan. IL'de Ciranuner school. "Mv Country 'Tis of Thee." was sum: and the b'^ne- diction pronounced bv the Rev. S. L'. Plake, D. D., Chaplain Nathan Hale Cliapter S. A. R. There are twci ev/nts in the history of our war of thr RiAolntlon wliieli st.and out conspicuous as an exhi- bition c)f personal courage and patriotism. One event was the charge of the Maryland l-'our Hundred into the face Lii' the victorious I'.riiish Annv, to i>ive the rest of the American Army time to escajie. (Jf course they were defeati^d. after lea\ing two-thirds of their mmilier dead upon the held, but an liotn was gained which had been called the hour mo,-,t important in our hi.-tory. for ii was within tliat hoin that the ar.ny escai)cd which afterwards won American independence at Saratoga, Prin.ceton. Trenton, King's i\L)uniain and Yorktown. AnKing the soldiers wlio wrre sjAod u\ tiiis charge, of the T\larylanJers, were several Connecticut regiments, many men of them ancestors of Sons 01 the American Revolution in Connecticut and New' York. The second event was the mission of Nathan Hale within the British lines. Whatever Connecticut owed to Maryland — and it was much — for the hercdsm of Maryland's Eom- Hundred, she paid back with interest when Nathan Hale--one of the bravest and brighiest of Connecticut's sons — stepped ])roudly up to an igno- miin'ous death for a glorious cause.

Tl is jieeuliarlv ajipri i|M-iate that tlie Sons of the American Revolution slionld be the ones to commemorate this deed. Tt is also peerdiarly af>i>ropriale that the passive in- strnment of this eeleljTation shouM be a school honse. \\'iierc, if not in the school where liis character received its earliest formative infhiences and his mind acqnired that clearness rif vision which made' him see his dntv so ch.'arly and. foiii.v it so nnninchinL;'ly : where, if not in this school honse did Nathati Ifale become the man vrho conld be the £'Tea1est hero of American history. Tl'ie conntry school honse has done n.iore for Con- necticut and for New Fnp^land than we are wont to r,'ive it credit for. If yon ask me wliv men have been able to go forth from this New Enc;'land of onrs to all parts of the nation and the world, carrving character and civilization of the wilderness, th.e desert, the )>ra!rie arid the plain; why, when men of Ne^v England have gone forth they have made their impress upon everv com- munity they entered and every society of which ihcy became a part; why, when men of New England have gone forth to build up the distant corners of the lanrl, they have so often been sent back to represent new commtmities and new States in the national congress an.d in the public ciumcil. T tell v^u it is because here in New Encrland we ha\e had frr.m the time tliat Nev,- England first began, the cotmtrv '^chool house. It has been the school house that has built new Con- nect'.cuts on the bank of tlie Ohio and the IMississipni. on the slopes of the Rcickv Mountains atid on the shores Crf the distant sea. The comitrv school house has been the most potent agency of our civili::ation. All New England may claim the credit for the school house, but Connecticut mav claim it in an exceptional dcp-rce. Iti no spot upon the earth's surface were the plain, average peor)le I'lf the community so well edu- cated one hundreil and fifty vears ago. as here in this colonv of Cotmecticut. Yott do well to preserve the school house where Nathar. Elale received the first impress unon his char- acter and th.e first inspiration for his mind. Whenever there ha> been work to dr> for humanitv and libertv on land or sea. in peace or in war. Connec- ticut men have been found reidv and v'iiHnc" to under- take it. And the reason whv Connecticut has been able to do so much and to exerci'^c- such an influence in the nation 'flud in the world, has been (hie. mnre than to anv other ca''.se. to' the cnnnlrx' school hou-e, w'n'.-h has riotted her liillsirjes atid poitlrd in her ■v"ille\'^. winch ha-; been f'^^und evervwhere and -.dwnv; within th'^ reach ■''f e\-(;fv bi'iv and ^drl brirn \>-ithin the S'ate.

In this United States of onrs. there are to-dav ncarh- -^o.coo members of the various clnpter.s of the Daughters of the American Revolution — a noble ..jo,ooo. We have scarce to, 000 sons. The onI\ fair conclusion is that the woiiien C'f America h.ave four, tinvjs the patri itism and ci\ic virlUL- of tlie wn-n. Wlien I learned to-day tliat the Nathan Hale school house was to be delivered to tlie State Regent of tlie Daughters of th'o Anurican Rex'olution for safe keeping, I felt sure that that school house was in safe hands, safer in the hands of 40,000 Daughters than of 10.000 sons. A\ hat liand. if itiI that wdn'eli rocks tlie cradle and guides th.e intant footsteps and the mfant mind, shoidd have charge of the school house whiich, in the evolution of tlie man and the woman, is the tiatural successor of the nursrry? I am siu'e that Nathan Il.ale was inspired to do his heroic deeds because he was trained, Ijy a nolile mother, as well as because he received his education from a faithful schoobniastcr in a conntry school h.onse. I ani ;;ure that the man wlio niarclied with a (jUick step and stout heart to the meanest of death? was a man who iiad received his in-oiration from a patriotic woman. I am sure that this nation is safe wdnle there are 40,oc>o Daughters of the American Revolntion within her bord.er?, and while the patriots among its mothers out-r.tmibcr so much tlie patriots among its fathers. All honor to the patriotic women of this land, v.dio hai'e formed tlie patriotic organizations, to some of which vr.u are committing the custodv of this school house. All honor to the 40,000 women from wd'iom the patriots of the next generation w ill get their inspiration for deeds like that of Nathan Hale. ' ; ''".;• -';:'>.

The French Treaty of Amity and Commerce. How it was brought about by tlic news of Burgoyne's Surrender at Saratoga. The Treaty of Amity and Comuicrcc, between France and the Ignited States was signed Februarv G. I'jy?^. li had been in process of negotiation for many months. mainly under the management of the immortal FrankUn, Minister to France. News of the Surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga, Oct. I/, 1777, finally reached Paris. That settled it. Immediately the signatures of Benjamin Franklin. Silps Deane and Arthur Lee were attached, upon the part of the American Republic, and of Gerard, [Minister of Fi- nance, on the part of France. The translation of tlie description is to the'effect that "on one- side is the City of Eostnu and the People .of America assembled at the pier holding their hands to ;hc Frigate of the King, whirh brought to that jiort the treaty which assured their independence." It is curious, interesting history that the Frig.'ite Bo -ton did set sail for America with tl;e Treaty. The instruc- tions to Captain Samuel Tucker. Commander, dated April ^3' V/S- contained these concluding words: — "Given for a cruise at Tucker's discretion either al the entrance of the Baltic or on the Banks of Newfound- land. You will take care that these orders may not, ir case of misfortune, which God forbid, fall into tlie Hand: of the Enemy. \\'e wish you a prosperous voyage anc are Your Humble Servants B. Franklin. Arthur Lee. John Adams." Tl;e landinp; of the Frigate and the reception of the in- spiring news, is curiously but liappily portrayed by oui friendly French arti.^t. who doubtle:-"s drew entirely upor his imagination in its execution, and, in so doing, ha; created a desire, perhaps on the part of ot'iers. to know who it \\as. by name, tliat thus left upon canvas sue! evidetices of his dcvcition to the cause of American in- dependence.

In keeriing with the dav, the Massachusetts Society invited its friends to join it in a field day. Lexington v-a> the Mecca, and early niornin- cars brought the crowd to town Iiy 10:30 o'clock. In cha'rge of the party was the Rev. Mr. Staples, who knows Lexington as well as any other of its residents.

Then he presented Mr. Staoles. who read a highly interesting riaper on "Flow the News of the Battle of Lexington was Received in England." His paper showed that the first news to reach Eneland came from the Americans, who. anxi(.'ius to be seen in a favorable light, sent depositions to London in a shio which sailed from Salem four day.s after Gen dice's report had cone, but which beat the other into England by eleven days.

But the main body of the army spent the months from December. 1777. to June, 1778. on the rujiired, stony slopes where only cheslnut and cedar trees and the trailing arbutus find sustenance. On this slonv land to-day are most of the visible revolutionary remains, including F"ort Washington, Fort Huntingdon, and about a half-mile of earthworks. The farmhouses ocrupied as head- quarters by Wayne. TvTnhlcnberg, A'arnnm. and Stirling also re- main, being included within a territorv of about six sqttare miles. Nov.- the villaee of Valley Forge is gradiiallv sinkincr into peace- ful decay. The original forge along Valley Creek in the pass between !\Iourit Joy and 'Mount Misery was abandoned long ago, but several textile mills for a time gave the place a prospect of prosperity. One by one. hov.'ever. all were shut down: a large part of the former populace departed, and the commercial spirit in no way now disturbs the hallowed memories of Valley Forge. AN OLD LIBRARY. The earliest library iri New York of v.hich we have any rec- ord belonged to Jonas Bronck, for whom the Borough of the Bronx was named, though the spelling has been corrupted. He was ope of those worthy but unfortunate ^fennonites who were driven from their homes in Holland to Denmark by religious persecution. He v, as a brave and enterprising vour.g man. and gained rapid promotion in the army of the King of Den- mark, who was very tolerant t^nvard the sect known as IMennon- ites. He served as commander in the East Indies until 16-38, when, with others of the persecuted, he «et sail for America, and his name first appears on the records the following year, when he receives a larce grant of land in Westchester Coimty from the Sachems of Ranachque. We are quite too apt in the=e latter days to glorify the es- tates rather than the qualities of our forefathers. Jonas Bronck was simply a brave, sturdy young Dutchman, who came here to better his prospects and escane the dan.gers that attended the reli<,'!ou3 viev\-s he held, and with the inborn stubbornness of the Dutch woidd not .sive up. Hi- library contained the fr'llowing volumes: Two Schatkamors ('Treasuries.) small folio: Petis a Piani : Danish Child's book: Veertich TatTereelen Van Doots, f'jo pictures of death"): one volimie by Simon Golaert : Bible Stories: Danish Calendar: View of the Major Navigation: 18 old printed books of Danish and P'utch authors: 17 manuscript hooks: Bible, folio: Calvin's Institutes: Ballengerus : Schulte- tus Dominicales: Moiin=ri Praxis, qtnrto ; German Bible, onarto; Luther's Psalms: Slcdanis. folio: Tri Spiegel, folio; Danish Cri.nyk, quarto; Dani-h Law Book, quarto; Luther's Catechism: T.

Balti- more ho!;ored herself in erecting the first monument to the mem.ory of the great hero, George Washington. .Monuments have been built to the memory of the dis- tinguished generals and leaders, but tliis is the first time we have honored with a proper micmorial all the Revo- lutionary heroes. The day selected for the unveiling of this rtionum.ent is most appropriate, for, on the 19th day of October, 127 years ago, in the port of .Vrnapolis, the ship Peggy Stewart \\as burned by her owner at the command of the patriots, who openly and without disguise had pre- viously throvcn overbioard the tea thr.t had been imported against the rules of the Continental Congress.

MRS. DOX.\LD M LEAX, THE SILVER-VOICED. President Warfield.in.a graceful speech introduced •'[r^. Mcl.oan as a 3>f.iry lander, though now a daughter ''■'- the Empire State by adoption. ""Vou all know her." -e said, "and .niust love and respect her. not only as one ■' f the most patriotic and brilliant women of dear old -'dryland, but for the relation she bears to that noble eld ^■'"■■•i'an. Judge J.din Ritchie, of Fred.erick." Mrs. Mc- ■-'^an was, before her- marriage, Mi-s Eniilv Ritchie, 'ly-ighter of Judge John Ritchie, and a ni.:ce of Judge ■'•".crt RiLchie, the latter occupying a seat or the siand J -ar hei. Mrs. McLean smilingly ar:-e and cracefullv ■' -ce[)ted the enconiums showered upon her bv President Vvnrfiold. Mrs. .McLean was handsomel) ginvnej in a .st}li:.h suit of black taffeta, witii touches of while, a shoulder ca))e wf ihiiVy plaiting,-. >'i tait'eta and chiJl'Mii and a medium- sized tiKpu: of black- and white m.a!iiie.

I M.VNY HONORS. Covering the front of her corsage were the numerous badges, mai;y of them of exquisite workman■^biI), which ha\e been presented io her. Conspicuous among them was th.e big siher laurel wrealli, a facsimilie of those with whicii the orators of anci'MU Greece were crowned, and which was presented to her by the New Yorlc Chapter of which she is ivegent, in t"I.;en of her oratorical abilities. A handsome insignia of the Datighters of the American Revolution set with uinmoiuls was also the gift of Airs. McLean's own chapter. C)ccupying" tlie place of honor in the center of the laurel wre;ith was the bado,e pre- sented to Mrs. McLean Iw the h'ifth R.Lgimeni \ eieian Corps of New York, attachicd by an enameled pin giveii bv an ofitcer of the old Kearsarge .Vssociytion in 2\lassa- ciiusetts. Other interesting badges were tlie v/hite star of the Mary Washington Association, the badge present- ed at the time of the unveiling of the Key rvlonument, a small goM medal presented by Raima, the head of tiie Cuban Junta in New York just previous to th.e outbreak of the Spanish \\'ar, aiiel many others, each implying a compliment to LIrs. McLean's ability r-s a speaker and as a recognition of her i.mportant assistance in various patriotic movements all over the country. MRS. m'lE.VN's .-\DD1CE.sS. JMrs. McLean's address was, in part, as follows: It goes without saying, Mr. President, that all who are here are glad to be here, and to some the day comes with peculiar happiness, because 10 them it is the realization of a patriotic dream — the tangibility of a moment long hoped for- — and there are here distinguished guests, as is the President-General of tlie Society of the Sons of the •Miierican Revolution from the Empire State wdiich I iiov/ claim as mine; but amid them ail I think there is not one to whom this day gives such poignant pleasure, no one Vvdio is so fervently glad as am I to he here, because I have come home. Are you all patriots ? So, I trust, am I. Do you revere the heroic dead? So, indeed, do I. Do \ou strive and so live in these days as to be worthy tlie undying heritage of those vdio have bequeathed their Revolutionary blood to us? Thus do I strive, but beneath all this exalted senti- ment stirs one tenderer, personal feeling — the feeling ol a daughter who has come home to her father's house. Into the ocean of this day's patriotism run a thousand rivulets of personal associatiion and affection. L-p in the zenith of this day's glory, behind the glowing sun. but always burning there, are a multitude of silver stars which symboliz..^ the unquenchable memories of my happy youth. And so I have come hom.e, 'and as evidence that the giddy, glittcrir:!?-, opulent city, New York, which now claims me as its denizen — "a citizen of no m.ean citv" — I V. culd assure you that Fifth avenue has never eclipsed North Charles street in my regard. But I w-otdd be an ingrate were I not to express rriy appre-ciation, my true aCcctior; for tiie great Em ire State, which has so war.'^dy welcomed me. v/hicli ha- called me it'? own in mv worb: an 1 mv energies, and to wliich I do give my heartiest eftorts, and to sav that the presence of the President Genera! of the Society .A.mer;- SrJRlT Ui' '76.

This oill was signed by Governor Frank Brown. Durir.g the year 1894 the City of Baltimore also aj)pro[iriated $5,000 for tlie same purpose. Li 1892 a .Bazaar and Monument Committee was formed and a bazaar held at the Fifth Regiment Hall, and though attended with untold labor, its only effect was to bring before the people of tb.e state the zeal of die so- ciety. Financially it was a failure. In 1S92 and 1S93 a subscription fund was started, the original subscribers to which were Willianj Ridgelv Grif- fith, Edgar G. Miller. Meredith Ho:d Griffith, R. C.

In t.^96 tlie committee increased to nf- teen, wdio raised over $1,200 dollars by popular sub- scription, chiefly from members of the society. In the meanwdiile the society w.-as knocking at the doors of Cons:re5s.

Wayne is of Revokitionary fame, the celebration was in keeping with the genera] objects of the Society. Gen- eral Wayne was tlie commanding officer of the United States to take possession of the North- West. PTe form- ally entered Detroit and took possession of the city as Military Governor August; 17th, 1796. It was npeWT his nulitary and diplomatic skill that depended the settlement of the interminable \^-ar with the Indians and the English, whose refusal to comply with certain articles of the treaty of I7b'3 and notably wdth that which provided for the '•vacuation of the ion?, in the North- We~t Territory, had led a large party in the country to clamor for war and acarly every one to feel that hostilities were inevitable. The Indians were, in fact, determined that the vchite 'Settlers shoidd ne\er o^ccupy the lands north cf tlie Ohio '"^nd tliat this river slieiuld form the per;nanent bound.ar.v liotween th.em. Wdien it was determined to subdue them '■jy a military force, all the Indians or this region, tc- ffether wdth those of western Pennsylvania, became con- ^-■'-'ntrated in a powerful confederacy near the Rivers Miami ;ind Alaumee, and acted in c.jnjunction with th^ Indians in the neighboi'hood oi Lklroit, the Canadi;:U.- and the JTigiish garrisons liiere anj in other parts of Cthitj. In thus a.ttenitping lu suiuluv tlie Indians, there was druiger tliat the United States might be drawn into a war vdth Jdngland. Generals liarrnar and St. (JIair IkkI tried in vain to bring tlie Indiani> into subjection, but U'./iiniig was ac- comp}ishv-d in tliis direction, until "'.Mad Anth:n_\ Waxne," this dashing soldier of the Rv\ohiiioii, who had been CLiuinilssioned to rai^e an army, m order to put an end to these Indian troubles and make this region safe for the habitation of tlie white settler, ile raised his army near rittsburgh and towards the end of the stimmer of 1792 marched down the C'hio and in the fo!l;;;wdng S])ring continued on to Fort Washington, the present site of Cincinnati. Here he remained until liie next year perfecting his forces, and in the spririg, commenced his march norlhward through th.at region, which is PiOw the pre.^ent state of <.Miio, and tm the JOth of Augiisc, 1794, met the Indians at the Battle of Fallen d imbers and con- quered tliem in one of the most celebrated battles in the annals of Indian warfare, d he site of tiiis battle is about eleven miles south of dTiledo on th.e 2\Iaumec River, dhe victory was complete and in the subsequervi: dealing? with the Indians, it was apparent that General Wa}"ne liad been, in fact, the "arbiter of the red man's future." and in August, 1795, he concluded the treaty of Green- ville wdih th-"ni, which ceded tci the United States gov- enimeni the territor\' west .'nd nortE of the Ohio, and j thus Wa\T,e's victor}" and the treaty of Greenville formed j the true "wanning of tlie west," the story of wltich is tltat I of the most marvelous achievnient in American history. | 1 Idle Jay treaty was pas-ed April 13th, 1796, and Gen. | era! Wayne was again called into the service of the gov- ernmer.t by appointment as military governor of the Ter- ritorv, and ordered to take possession cd' the British posts on the fiontier at Niagara, Oswego, the Miami and De- troit, which he did personally and reach. -1 F),ti' A '^^•'^■- ust 17th, 1796, wdiere he was welcomed Iw the Indians wdth everv demonstration of atimiration.

Like many of the great generals of historic renown, he was traired as a civil engineer. At the ago of 21 years he was selected by I'enjamin Eranklin as sur- veyor and re[<rescntative of a large association in the Province of Xfca Scotia. His prudence and good common sense is illa-tratcd by the record of his marriage to the daughter of one of th.e most prominent ard wealthy citizens of Philadelphda at tlie c'.rly age of 21 }ears.

It has indeed been well said that he had hra\ed dirik:idt\ arid, danger "in tlie defense "f tlv- riLdifs and liberty of .America from tiie frozen lakes of Canada to the burn in; ida." He commaniied at Ticondiroga, defended Chad's !■ rds and I'mI; an im[io'rtant put in the Latlle of i'randy- wine.

His greaiest achievement was the storming of Stony Eciint, an imp'^rtant position on lite ]]udson, held by the r.ri;i-h. Un the 15th of Jid}, 1779, General Wayne's bra\x band left Sandy Beach for the purpose of storming St'.'iiv i'oiut. Li orckr to previ;nt alarm of the ap[)roach, he caused all the dogs in the neighborhood to be de- stni\ed. At the midmight horn', guided by a negro of tiie neighborhood, tw<j soldiers di-guised as farmers ap- proached the sentinel and wlnle the negro talked to hin.t, the soldiers seized and gagged him. With unloaded guns, bayc)rets tixed and white feathers on their hats to distinguish them from the Urili-h in the ilarkness, they approached the garrison with less than three hundred men , broke thr',.ugh. the barricades and rushed into tl;e CLUtie c f the fort where a hand-to-hand encounter erisued. Sixty-three of the garrison were slain and 553 made pris- oners. Wa}'ne was wounded at the head of his' column and wdien caugh.t bv his ai'les to keep hirn from falling, he said : "Carrv me into the fort and let me die at the head of my cedunm." His capttire of Stonv Pciint was one of the mos: brilliant achievements of tlie Revolution. General Wa}ne was giftdl with true soldierly insipra- tion. His trust in WashingtiiU was without bounds, and his confidence in h.is own militar} skill and undiunted courage led him on one occasion to say to Washington, 'Tf vour excellencv will plan it, I will undertake to storm hell.'"' President Roosevelt, in describing his ■^haracter. said: 'Tn the R.evolutionarv War no otiier general, .-Vnaerican, British or ITench, won such a reputation for hard fight- ing and daring energy and dogged courage. He gloried in the excitement and danger and shone at his best v.dien the stress was sorest." All his instincts were military. For his fearless cour- a-^^e, daring energy, ami bold dash into the enemy's camp in the darkness of miilnieht, and apparentlv rash moves upon the battlefield, snatchincr. as it were, victorv from an overpowering foe, he was christened "Mad .\nthony." Bu.t liis head was as coo! as hi-^ lie:. rt was -tout. Like a true and chivalric soldier, he was a gent'emar, clean, neii and fond of a perfect uniform, for wdiich characteristic same of the thr.ughtles? called him "EancE' Wayne." for- r.etting that perfect f umi is one of the qualities that enter into the compo-ition of a real hero. But it was not in the Revnhition that he achieved his ereatest h.oror. After the fall of Ynrktown, in which he took an imnortant part, and p:ace with England was declared, tlie Eidian tribes continued Iiostilities in the South and West. l..a.Tr:c military expeditions were sent out to sunpra<;s them, fir«t in command of General Har- mar and afterwards under General St. Clair. Fcr ten \-ears this cruel barharous wartare as contume I and in near]-v- al' of the important •en'raym.en!" our men were de- feafed.

THE GOLDEN ARROW, bv Ruth Hail, author of "Thf Black Gown," "In the Brave Days of Old," etc. The author voices our sentiments wdieti she says: ''Geography and chronol- ogy are the cyt s of history." but they are not the breath of its life- The vif:;lit;, of a fact lies in its human- interest. It has long been my belief that, to sui'plemcnt the conning of dates and tables of names, by setting fo-tl) the dramatic incidents of t'ne same period, was the one way to realize that time to the imagi- nation and the memory of th.e student. The story deals with, the American Colonies between i6,?5 and 1660, imder Roger Will- iains in New Encrland. It i'' an attractise book for boys an-1 girls. Pric< -$1.25. FIougiitox.
