Show The new historical society composed of women if railed the "Daughters of the American Revolution." Mrs. Harrison Har-rison has accepted its presidency. The society will build a monument to Mary Washington, mother of George. Mr. Shcnnan, of New York, introduced into congress some time since a bill making it the duty of government to mark in a suitable manner the historic sites of the Revolution. The authoritative stamp thus being placed upon them, the Daughters Daugh-ters of the Revolution will undertake the task of erecting monuments upon the sites. The permanent annual anniversary anni-versary of the society will be Oct. 11, the day on which Columbus discovered America. |
