GENERAL SAMUEL HOPKINS CHAPTER (Henderson, Kentucky). The work just accomplished by the General Samuel Hopkins Chapter for the benefit of the Hospital Relief Corps is most encouraging. Through the earnest efforts and enthusiasm of our honored Regent, Mrs. R. H. Cunningham, the work has been pushed forward with remarkable zeal, and a most pleasing result attained. The Chapter first sent to the soldiers at Chickamauga a box of groceries weighing over a thousand pounds, together with a check for ten dollars from the treasury of the Daughters of the American Revolution. We afterwards made an appeal to the general public, which was nobly and promptly responded to. Aside from generous donations of goods of various kinds, from the merchants and business men generally, a liberal amount of money was also contributed, most of the church societies lending a helping hand, assisting with the sewing and other work and seeming to vie with each other in their zeal for the good cause. Each article was carefully marked before being packed, and the boxes which were shipped to Fort Thomas and Chickamauga

reflect no little credit on the patriotic citizens of Henderson. The General Samuel Hopkins Chapter is very grateful for the hearty coöperation and assistance rendered.

We have not as yet organized a Society of the Children of the American Revolution, but the work of Florence Nightengale Division of the King's Daughters is deserving of especial mention. These children met at the lecture-room of St. Paul's church and made clippings which were put into envelopes and sent to Tampa for the soldiers.

The following is a list of the articles contained in the box which was sent to Fort Thomas: Pillow cases, 220; sheets, 92; towels, 100; night shirts, 57; pajamas, 56; handkerchiefs, 84; bandages, 96; wash rags, 12; wash basins, 12; tooth brushes, 60; bolt of material for bandages, table covers, napkins, sanitary pillows, old linen, quinine, wine, peas, soups, celery dressing, tea, corn starch, vanilla, canned goods, and a generous supply of choice literature. Total amount of money contributed, $141.18; total amount expended for hospital supplies, expressage, etc., $60.65; leaving a balance of $80.53, $50.00 of which was expended for drugs, and sent with a supply of bandages to the hospital at Chickamauga, and the remaining amount forwarded with the box to Fort Thomas.— NANNIE L. D. NORRIS, Historian.

CATHERINE SCHUYLER CHAPTER, Daughters of the American Revolution, of Allegany county, held its annual session at Belmont on Monday, June 20th. The Chapter commemorated the battle of Bunker Hill and the exercises were of unusual interest. The organization was formed one year ago with twenty-two charter members, since which time sixteen. have been added and as many more are preparing their papers for admission.

The first break in the circle occurred on May 24th, when Mrs. Helen F. Hatch, one of the charter members, passed to her home beyond the river; therefore it was with sorrow and regret that the members assembled at this session, knowing that the ranks had been broken and one of their members had "joined the innumerable caravan."

After the opening prayer, Mrs. E. W. Chamberlain, address

ing the Chair with a few brief and appropriate remarks, offered the following resolutions, all standing:

WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God to remove by death Mrs. Helen Fassett Hatch from our Chapter and her family circle;

Resolved, That we, the members of Catherine Schuyler Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, hereby express our sorrow for this our first loss by death of one of our charter members.

Resolved, That we hereby offer our sympathy to our beloved Vice-Regent, Mrs. Gertrude F. Jones, and to Mrs. Gertrude Hiscock in their affliction.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Hiscock, and that they be placed upon the records of the Chapter and printed in the Wellsville Reporter and Belmont Despatch and the AMERICAN MAGAZINE.

By a rising vote the resolutions were unanimously adopted. The literary exercises were opened by a vocal solo by Miss Gertrude Thornton, accompanied on the violin by Miss Bertha Bradt. Mrs. J. H. Bissell, of Belmont, read Holmes' poem, "Grandmother's Story of Bunker Hill," and an historical paper, "The Battle of Bunker Hill," written by Mrs. Alfred S. Brown, was read by Miss Gertrude Thornton, closing with a violin solo rendered by Miss Bertha Bradt.

The election of officers and business occupied the remaining hours of the session. Mrs. Hamilton Ward, the present Regent, was elected for the ensuing year and the officers of the past year were elected to serve another year. Mrs. E. W. Chamberlain resigned from her position of Chaplain and Mrs. Thomas L. Smith, of Wellsville, was elected in her place.

As the committee of entertainment had not decided on a place of meeting for the next month, the Chapter adjourned to meet at the call of the Secretary when the committee reported. Luncheon was then served by the Belmont ladies and a pleasant social hour was enjoyed by all.

The officers as elected are: Mrs. Hamilton Ward, Regent; Mrs. William F. Jones, First Vice-Regent; Mrs. Frank Smith, Second Vice-Regent; Mrs. Thomas L. Smith, Chaplain; Mrs. Enos W. Barnes, Secretary; Miss Susan S. Jennings, Treas

urer; Miss Alice Reed, Registrar; Miss Miriam Thornton, Historian; Miss Frances Dobbins, Assistant Historian; Miss Frances Morris, Librarian.

WEQUETONSING CHAPTER.-Much pleasure is being anticipated by the cottagers on Little Traverse Bay, in the concert to be given in the Wequetonsing Assembly Hall for the benefit of the sick and wounded American soldiers and sailors. The proceeds of the entertainment will be sent. direct to Mrs. A. G. Draper, Treasurer of the Daughters of the American Revolution Hospital Corps, in Washington, thus insuring the immediate distribution of the proceeds where most needed. The fact that the Government has given to the above named organization the work of securing all the nurses in the service shows clearly that responsible persons are in charge.

THE MADISON COUNTY CHAPTER (Richmond, Kentucky). -The members of The Madison County Chapter, at Richmond, Kentucky, have not been laggards in work for the sick and wounded soldiers. They sent a box of supplies to Atlanta for distribution and are quite willing to do more.-SALLIE RODES BURNAM, Regent.

SPRINGFIELD CHAPTER (Ohio). Since the beginning of the war with Spain the Chapter has worked in various ways for the relief and comfort of the soldiers. In response to an appeal from Captain Bradbury, of Company B (Springfield, Ohio), Third Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, the Chapter made seventy "housewives" filled with useful small articles. The son of Mrs. Joseph K. Black (former Regent of this Chapter) is one of Company B. Ten dollars of the Chapter's funds were sent to the Treasurer of the Chickamauga Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, to help purchase supplies for the sick and needy among the soldiers at Camp Thomas. Contributions were received from members of the Daughters of the American Revolution and patriotic friends amounting to $44.75, with which sheeting was purchased and 117 sheets were made by the following Daughters: Mrs. Charles E. Thomas, Mrs. Oscar T. Martin, Mrs. Joseph K. Black, Mrs. Blu, Mrs.

A. P. L. Cochran, Mrs. J. W. Murphy, Mrs. E. W. Plaisted, Mrs. Elizabeth Ludlow, Mrs. H. C. Dimond, Miss Cassilly, Miss Elinor Ludlow, and sent to Rev. W. J. Trimble, National Relief Commissioner, Chattanooga, Tennessee.-M. C.

ROCKFORD CHAPTER.-In the early part of June the Rockford Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution gave a Colonial Tea to raise money for a war fund. Beside affording their friends a very enjoyable evening, the Daughters cleared eighty-six ($86.00) dollars above expenses, this money to be kept for the sole use of hospital work. The members of the board of managers represented different colonial characters and at the six booths in which refreshments were served

the ladies were also in costume. A program of patriotic music was given during the evening and helped to while away the hours. With the money realized the Daughters have already sent to the Daughters of the American Revolution Hospital Corps at Washington six dozen hospital shirts, three dozen negligee shirts and twenty-one pajamas. They are now preparing to send seven dozen more of the hospital shirts and a large number of bandages. We hope to be able to do still more. for the noble cause.—MRS. HOMER STANTON BURPEE, Corresponding Secretary.

Cæsar RodneY CHAPTER.—On the afternoon of May 28th the Cæsar Rodney Chapter, of Wilmington, Delaware, held a special meeting at the residence of the State Regent, Mrs. Elizabeth Clarke Churchman, for the purpose of organizing a War Relief Committee to cooperate with the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution in relieving the necessities of our soldiers and sailors. A liberal emergency fund was immediately raised. It was arranged that the Relief Corps should hold its meetings every Saturday morning, in the rooms of the Equitable Building, to receive contributions and to give out work and supplies. Auxiliary members have generously assisted the Chapter and, although Delaware is a small State, we are greatly encouraged by the interest, ability and staunch patriotism of our workers.
