Mrs. Wilde is said to be a charming and accom- plished woman and a finished linguist, who will be a distinct acquisition to the social world of the capital. The Cosmopolitan Shakespeare Club held its regular meeting on Tuesday, May 1, at the home of the president, Mrs. Wm: J. Armstrong. The reading of the third play of the season, “Much Ado About Nothing,” was completed and discussed thoroughly. Refreshments were later served by the hostess and a pleasant social time followed.

Zion Church in the Zion Metropolitan Church this morning was de- voted to the transaction of the general busi- ness which marks the opening meetings of such a body. The conference represents a membership of over half a million, and the churches are located not only in this coun- try, but in Canada, West Indies and in Africa. At the opening session yesterday morning Bishop T. H. Lomax of Charlotte, N. C., presided. The sermon was delivered by Bishop J. W. Hood of Fairville, C., the senior bishop of the church. At the after- noon session Commissioner Ross made the address of welcome, as did also Prof. R. H. Terrell, principal of colored High School. The session last night was devoted to ad- dresses from representatives of sixteen de- nominations and various organizations in this District. During the sessions yesterday a_letter was read from the President of the United States regretting his inability to be present and expressing the hope that he would be able to attend a future session of the con- ference. The most important legislation which will come before the body is the election of bishops and a proposed change in the or- ganic law of the church. Upon organization the following secre- tarles, representing the Episcopal districts, respectively, were elected: F. H. Hill, New Haven, Conn.; T. A. Weathington, Mont- gomery, Ala.; J. H. McMullen, Harrisburg, Pa.; W. A. Blackwell, Lancaster, S. C.; W. B. Fenderson, Asheville, N. C.; E. D. Washington, Grady, Ark.; T. H. ‘Tipton, Mobile, Ala.
