TESTFMOXIALS FROM THE PBLSS.
Tlu Bruoldyt: D.iily Eagle.
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. A well arranged book for the genealogy of one's family, by means of which poster! ?■,' may be- saved endless trouble if the book is jjropcrly kept and posted.
Tlu Clitnttan Leaihr. 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!. Bailey's book, simple, complete, easily understood. Mr. Bailey is his own agent and his book is having a large sale.
The Churchman. Thi; very ingenious and useftd album is designed by Rev. 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.

1'he coLintry is Ijecoiiiir.g so t'oocled with Euiopcan populations thai; any scheme for preserving with laudable pride one".s family history must be of interest. "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. The S'Stem adopted is carefully i^.\riiained, but is scarcely more th.m tiie e^sy u>e of bl.mks and spaces provided to one's hand.

Lj UJMAX iKiUire craves for the things it is not entitled ' ^ to and the striving for things unattainable has caused much dyspepsia and insomnia in our midst.
One oi the principal factors in Iceeping alive the Si'iRii OF 'y(\ is the consideration \\e recei\'e from the press in towns where we are not known. 'J'here we arc hailed as either a di^tinguished guest or a prominent visitor and for the sake oi this glorification we have made ninny tedious journeys, and gone to much expense.
\\ e hanlcer after these undeserved encomiums and feel depressed when we do not receive them.
On seveial occasions we have been mentioned as lIo!ii:>rable, b} tliose who tmew us not, and we feel n tlniler of ])ride wlien t!:ii:> occurs, not knowing vchy we vcere so called, as we do tiot remember ever having (lone anythin.g honoroable ; we generally buy up an edition of the paper thus mentioning us and send marked copies to our friends, thus a-sisting in disseminating the deception : and the retributiun comes to us as v.'e toss on our couch trying to lull sleep to our too active conscience.

j HE Saratoga Pilgrimage wliich was to have been held Sept. 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.

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.

I have chosen as the suhject of this ad'lress a chapter in the IVJasonic annals, vehieh, if less pictures(:[ue, is at least nearer to us. It is a chapter in which we emerge Irom the dim shadow of tradition and stand in llie broad da}-- ligTt of authentic history — a chapter, too, which h.as been lein.g neg'leeted bv the chroihclers of the craft and oriC whose perusal should fill everv ^[ason 'with pride and every patriot \vith gratitude. 1 refer to the chapter which records the part pla}'ed by Frcemasijus in the American Revolution.

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. Ji_-iseph \\ arreri veas its [Master. I'aul Revere one of its early initiates and secretaries and later its master, atid on it- rolls were tlie names of John. liancijck. and James C'tis and rnanv others who are now recognized a? the leaeling clr.:racters <:i that eventful epoch.
1 he famous "."^on^ of Liberty.'" organized r,i 1705 to resi-;t the enforcement of the Stami') Act. \\ere bat an ot'fsh'iot of thi'^ lodge, as wa^ alM"> rlie "\Trth lual Cau- cu.s" (6) to whiclrwa- conimitted the ex'ecraion of s.-jme of the most Taring plan-; of th.e [jafior^. ''.oth 'tf th.e-;e orgariizatii">ns r.iet at the Gnun I )r,agon d'awrn wlncli wa-- owned and occupied by St. Andrew'.-. LodL;e an.d the MKonbers of the iaUer were leaders iu the former. It v.as at tliis tavern that the historic P.os'on Tea i'ari\ wa^ planned by Warren, Revere and other nieuibers 01 St.
.Amlrevv's ( 7 ). l he records of the lodge disclose that on the evening afu-r the le.-id.adeu ship.'- arri\ed in l'iO;.to;i Harbor there wa^ an ,'idjour)iin<.;iU on account oi :.;\\,\_\\ attendance and the secretary adds the sigrnlicant no,tc th.al "consigUA-es rif tea took the brethren's time." The nuu- utes of Deceiuber 16, J 773, the date of tlie tea party, sheiw that the lodge was again adjomau-d until tlic ricxt cvcn- mg. (8) Its members were among that i)and of enthu- siasts \\ ho had boarded the sln'jis and were rapidly hea\- iiig the obno-xious lea into the water- of b.o<;ton Harbor.
In the siirring da}'S which followe^.l it was I'anl Revere eif ."^t. Andrew's Lodge who earned the title of "ddie I'atriot MerciuA" oi- "The Aless^enger of the Revolu tiein." ih(jusands or miles lie rode o)\ horseloack, s[)read- ing the news of the destruction of the tea, bearing dis- patclies tri e>thcr colonies, to Xew Vork and I'hiladelphia.
Iho. 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. The title "Cradle of Liliertv" wliich has been applied to Faueui! Hall, rightftdly be- longs to tlie Green Dragon Tavern where gathereel that little band of ^Masons who precipitated the A.merican Revolution,

But there were other lodges wliich rendered valuable services in the war feir independence. St. John's Pro- vincial Grand Lodge at Boston, the older rival of St. An- drew's, furnished in the ])erson of its Deputy Grand .das- ter Ridley, the engineer wdio planned the American forti- fications at Banker Hill. ( 10) St George's Lodge at Schenectady, X'. Y.. wdiere many Revolutionary oiilcers were made Atasons, honored itself and the order by ap- propriating lodge funds for the support of ihe families of its members who had been taken prison.ers b\' th.e British (111.
The intimate connection between ^Masonry and th.e patriotic nitA-ements is al>o shown by the gro\vth of the order at this time. Master's Lodge alone at Alhanv, re- ceived eigh.ry-three new members during the hi>toric year 1776 1 i_' 1 .

now as Master siuint'^ in the Oriental cliair ;iiifl l-ring-inj.-^ a candidaic to Masonic li.'^lit (15). It wa'; in one of lh<"-^(. lodi'r.s— American Union at M(irri^l(j\va N. J. — thai Lafayette '3 l)clieve<l to Ikixo rccciveil liis decrees (16). l.ndo-c !ncctiTiq-s were sonK-tinies held in oiVieers' tents (17) and snineliines, as in ihe erise of the arn*iy en- camped on the llndsv.n, in a perinar.ent huildin;:;- spe- cially erected for that pni-p'ise (iS). .\rid sm ai-tivf were tliese military Masons that a n.iovciner.l was siarteti and several ccnneiitions ludd at Movri^lown will) :i eicw to establishing an Atn.erican c-'eneral Grand l.cdue and mak- ing \VashinyLon Cii'and Mas't r of the I'rdied StaU-s (H)). 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. Joseph Burnam. a ^lason who was held by the I'.ritidi a.s a prioiier of war in X<;w "^'ork City, escaped and ^r.M-lii .-.],, iter in the Crieer, Bay Tree 1 a\ern ki:pt b\ aiii'tlier Ma^on named llopkiriS. 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 tlie liroudc-t heriiaqe of Revolutionary ^Masons on both sides tliai tlte fr.-Uernal

W'hien we tnni frcun scenes of carnac;'c to the nvue pjaceln! hrimts of diplomat .md statesman, dnrinp; the Revohuioii, we hnd l'"reemasoii^ there active and iniluen- tial. 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. Its repre?entative> are found in e\ery oflicial station from the President down. (34) \\Ti,iL possibilities for good guvcrnment and liigli {)ohtical i<ieals do tliese l.acts express; wdiat a mightv leverage tor ci\dc [)r(igress and reform! And tins is the highest ies^ou taught n- as a craft by f'recm.asons of the American Revolution : To place patriotism aiiove partisanship, to }.)rescrve and extend the free institution-, of the r<'pub!ic, t(.) maintain the honor and dignity of the nation at home and abroad, and thus to realize the loft;, ideals of our eighteenlh century brethren bequeathing them as a priceless heritage to generations yet unborn.

Minutes of the" meeting of the Executive Committee and Board of ^Managers of the National Society of the Sons of the Ameri- can Revolution, held at th.e ofKce of Walter S. Logan. 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. If you come to Waihington wc don't want you to come in and gii run the i;t xt day; wc want yon to come in one day atid gr, r.ut the third, consent to come t'.i W,i-!iim;:"n next ilie understar.ding th'.ii \oii are' bj Washington is a prctty_eity.

MR. LOGAN: 'iliere is this to be sa.id in favor of- W'a^Iiiirg- ton, that ne.Kt year Congress will be in Sessicin. fVesideni M'eKmley was a member of the Ohio Si'ciety. President Roo-.e velt is a nil niber of the New Vc.^rk Society, an.] we '-hall ha\e special laeilitie- at Washington next year lliat we couldn't ha\e an(.)ther \ear, perliaps, and the suggestion has bien mrele th.it uc should let Washington see wdiat the}- can dei with uj next year, and then put Ge'neral Greeley on his mettle and see what he can do with tis the next j'ear.
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. I nur-t ccJnfL^s that the. capital of tlie uatiu e>iight to be ij.e best place to meet but I will give way on or cundiii'ju, tiiai 1 shall have the support next year, if i aui p.ei mitted to m,il e an invitation, lo ceiir.e to Comiecticur.

MR. CL.VRK: Everyone knows the cit.v of Washington, thirik that we feel tb.at !< the proper place f<;r th.e society tei g ne:"t .April. We certainly appreciate as a Beiard tliese inviui tic>iis from other cities, from New Haven, from PortSTuoutl anrl from New Orleans, and I tliink we ought to express by vote our thanks to the^e soceties. I should like to ha\'c th pleasure of making a motion tliat tlie next Congress sheuil meet in Washington
^vIR. ROSS: I am surprhscd that the gentlemen present ha\ overlooked otie point in the selection of the next Congress an one great advantage in going to Washington.- and tb.at is i passing through the state of Delaware, and therefore it give me a great dea' of pleasure to secon-J th.e m''.tion of Mr. Clark.
AIR. LOGAN: Are you ready for the question? It is move and seconded that the ne.xt National Congress of the Sons c the American Revolution be held in the City of Washingto and that the National Society accept the invitadon of the Di' trict of Columbia Society to meet there. Carried.
COL. LOGAN: I move that the thanks of the .Board of }\[ai: agers be extended to the other state societies for tlieir invitatio to h.old the meeting there.
MR. LOG.VN : It is moved and seconded that the thank of the Board of Managers and E.xecutive Committee be ex tended to the State Societies, other than the District of Colun, bia Society, who have invited lis to hold the next annual Con gress in their states, and our regret that circumstances made ■ impossible for u; to accept their invitation for next year, bi we hope to be able to do so at some future time. 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. It was a high, lionor to ns. and he held ic to be a hig' b.onor to himself.
GENERAL APPLETON: I move that the President of th National Society have tull peivvers 'o appoint a ce.nmn'f.tee o ih-ec of .wlii-rh he sb.;dl be ■^iiairvian, to take the matter in con sidoration and have full power';.

MR. CORMSll: fkiulemen. prob.-diiy fhit ] wculd better ■rake some explanation as to the iiublication oi Uie wuri^.
As you understand, the coniuuUee of Nehicii Mr. Ro.-s is chair- man, iiiet with great cucourameut at our last eongre--s in i'lits- burg. It was resolved that he could have ihe privilege if he would publish tlie work without any expen>e to them.
When 1 was at riti-.!niig, i'residvui-t .vueral l.o.uan said that during his aduiinisiraliem he wanted tn perform one thing by which he could be remembered, and he said th.at the publication of this Register would bo tlie best tiling he could do. The book is going through and President-Geu'Tai Logan i.- g'.nug to back me up.
We have sent out to most of the states a circular asking tor subscriiitions. We are going to give you a book tiiat u worth about ^5 for $-^ It will be a book of soniethmg over i.jlkj pages, handsomely illus4.rated. It will tal:e i,ooo page> to. give the names and genealogy of the nu-mbers of the society. liave sent out something about eight thousand circular-, returns so far are beyond our expectations.
In New York State, 35 per cent, of its members have subscnljcd as individuals. The Conunittee have set the price at S.^. so nov/ we are eirculari?:ing the individuals, and from the appearance of things we will probably gee in three or four thousand siibscribcrs. 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. Logan, the iibranes of Connec- ticut, Howard De Haven Ross,' Dela\rare, etc.
Any gaurantee that the states have made in the way of taking a certain number of books they need not hold themselves respon- sible for. hut we depend on them to do what they can towards the dissemination of this book. 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. In view of tlie fact that the cost of the National Register is detinitedy fixed at .-s^.oo per copy, State Societies who have subscribed for certain num bers at a ditTerent price, may modify or cancrl tli arrangement, if they desire to do so

IIRIGADIER-GENERAL THOMAS WILSON, U. S. A., who died in New York City, May 30th, lyoi, in the Oytb year of iiib age.
GENERjiL II ILSON had been a member of this Society since Pecember ijtii. 1891, by \irtue of his descent from \Villiaai Moulder, Sr., a Lieutenant in tiio Continental Army during the \inerican I^levoltitiori ; rr.d, %\ith the intermission of a single year, had been a inembtr of the lic'ard of AL.iiagement since I'ebruary. 1S04.
.A graduate of the Lnited States >ili!iiar\^ Academy at West Point, he partici[i:ited in most of the g-reat battles of the .Vrmy of the Potomac in the War for the Preservation of the I'nion, and, by hi^ valiant services on the field of action, won the brevet r.iiik of BrigaJu'i -General in both ihe Regular and VoltD'tter .Iniiies of the LUited States.
Inspired by the highest ideals of patriotism, and devoted to the Flag to maintain whose integrity he had risked his life, he communicated his enthusiasm to others, and, by his counsel and example, effecti\ely promoted the work of this Society.
His memory will aflectionately be cherished by hi; Compatriots, who sorrow for the lost companionship of j t::(e American citizcyi, a brave soldier, a Christian gentleinan, and an ever loyal friend.

During the week wbeiein the Prvisident, Air. McKinley, lay prone, stricken and suffering, the Nation was on its knees in prayer for his recovery. Nciw th.it God Ints seen tit to take him unto Flimself and "gatlier bini unto bis Fathers," the country is bowed in an anguished sen-e of loss, and all classes of Ameri- can citizens, — all men. women and children — grieve together.
Rememlicring that the Daugh.ters of the American Revolutioti are descendants of tlie Fore-fathers who made this a Nation, who died that it might live, it S'-enis not uniltting that memlicrs of the Society D. .A.

ters American Revolution, therefore suggest tliat eacii member of the Chapter wear a small badge of mourning upon the left breast, for a period of thirty days from this, the dtite of the .President's death, September 14. tgot. Such badge may consist ot a small piece of crepe, or soft black ma.terial. pined by the insignia of the D. A. R. or the pin of the N. Y. miniature Flag of the Nation.
Commingling with the horror of brought death to tin. Country's Chiet of hH citizers, is a peculiar and poignant grief felt by zi ovieri. One of their Sister-women is cruelly bereft — she may well cry alouil : "Was e\'cr sorro\\ like uiue) my sorrow?" The lover w hei became a husband, the husband v.lio remained a lO'.'er, the man perfect in his relations to the woman, torn from the arnis of a wife whose sole source of light and life he has been ! Let every woman pray for peace to that bereaA'ed heart I On September 7, immediately following the sh.ooting of the President, the Regent of the N. Y. C. CD. A.

Df.\r Sir.— "'i'tji-r kind letter and Spirit of '76 duly received., please accept thanks for b.nh. Though of X. E. Loyalist Stock, and a memljer of the "United Empire Loyalists' Association of Ontarii,>," I w:is much interested in reading the SfmiT of '76. aiid would like to know if the copies containing "A" and "h" of the Genealogical Guide can =^11 be obtained., as my grand- father's natnc was Andersrin. of Xew York, and grandmother was a Butts, of Boston. Afembers of both families were promi- nent .in church and other public matters late in i6qo, and early in 1700.
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. I am srirry not to kno'A n:ore of thei-e far away ancestors, but ha\c heard from my mother — long since dead — tln.t her grandnioth'T was a daughter of Sir William John-on and Molly Brant, and m an old history of Canada, 's a qn.iint picture of Sir William, over \vhich on the niai-gm of the page is written, "The father of Grandmotlicr iMitchell." ,Mv great-grandmother, a; "E.iizaLieth Pertrand.'' was married vl think in .MontreaG, to Doctor David AJitchell. on tlie 20th of JliIv. 1776. 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.
