Regents to be announced. The church had been engaged until three o'clock only, but permission was obtained to hold it until five. This time was consumed with finishing up the business and with the elections. A touching incident was the removal of the full length portrait of Mrs. Harrison during the excitement of these elections. When the picture was loosened from its fastenings the Chairman requested the Congress to rise while it was being removed from the house. Instantly a reverent stillness prevailed while the picture was carried facing the audience through the church to the front door, whence it was carried to the White House for its permanent home. Mrs. Hogg, of Pennsylvania, nominated Mrs. Letitia Green Stevenson, who was re-elected President-General by acclamation. Mrs. Hogg was appointed chairman of a committeee to announce this election to Mrs. Stevenson. She waited on her on Monday, accompanied by Mrs. Keim, Mrs. Geer, Mrs. Dickins and Mrs. Heth. "It is with unfeigned pleasure that we, a committee appointed to represent the Third Continental Congress of an organization which numbers more than four thousand of the women of our land, come to bring again to you a gift-the greatest in our power to bestow-the office of President-General of the Daughters of the American Revolution. We appreciate gratefully your kindly interest in our Society, and your gracious acts in its behalf. We bring to you assurance of loving regard, with the earnest wish and hope that you soon may regain your wonted health and vigor, and that this year will be to you, and to the Society over which you preside, one of greatest prosperity and blessing. Mrs. Stevenson responded: "Mrs. Hogg and Ladies of the Notification Committee: "I should be more than human were I not deeply touched by your kind words, and by the unanimous action of the Third Continental Congress on Saturday last. For the second time it is my privilege to accept from your hands the honorable office of presiding officer of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. One year ago it was with the hope born of inexperience that I ventured upon untried waters. o-day it is with the hope established upon the loyalty of tried friends, that I pledge myself to whole-souled endeavor towards the advancement of the cause, and an unremitting effort to established unity, peace and a dignified adjustment of all differences. My counsel shall be in the interest of harmony, at all costs save that of honor. I am reluctantly compelled to state that my always uncertain strength will forbid that I shall take an active part in the conduct of affairs in connection with the National Society. For the courtesy and forbearance so graciously shown me, I beg that you will accept my greatful thanks. Again I thank you for this most signal mark of confidence and appreciation of honest effort in the transaction of affairs in connection with the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution."
