THE OPERA HOUSE OPFERINQS. Two Notable Fariremeits Ob Tapis for the Near Fatare la WHmlaztoa. 'Mr. John Allison, who is remem bered for his artistic portrayal of Jones in "What Happened to Jones," will be at the head of "The Wrong Mr. . Wright," which playa at the Opera House next Saturday. "The Wrong Mr. Wright" is by far the funniest farce from George H. Broad hurst s pen. The piece haa an abund ance of clean comedy, clever people and superb scenery. "The Wrong Mr. Wright" was played with great success by the late Roland Reed and was the best play in which he ever ap peared. The stage Hebrew is invariably of the lowest and exaggerated type, but the author of "The Gay Mr, Gold stein" has written a play that, while retaining all the keenest and humor ous elements suggested by the former, he is dressed in the garb of a refined atmosphere. For this interpretation Manager Greenwall has selected a company from the most finished ar tists, headed by the three stars Mary Hampton, Thos. J. Keogh and George C. Boniface, Jr. The attraction comes to the Opera House to-morrow night week. WILL LAY CORNER STONE. Odd Fellows of Soatnport Prepsriaf Elabo rate Celebration for ThaaksgiTisg.

C., SUNDAY, NOVEMBER; IT,' CLOSE OF THE Daughters of Confederacy Adjourned Eighth Annual Meeting Last Night. ; Officers Fleeted for Ensuing Year Orleans Accepted for Next Gathering Emblems and Mottoes Adopted The Proceedings in Detail A Special Train Yesterday Afternoon Via Atlanta. The eighth -annual- Convention, United Daughters of the Confederacy, which has been in sesiion in this city since Wednesday came to a close last midnight after continuous session dur ing the day lasting from 9:80 A. M. to 5:30 P. M. and from 9 until 13 o'clock last night. Much business wss necessarily crowded into the clos ing day's sessions of the convention, the prominent items being an election of officers for the ensuing year and the choosing of a place for the next convention. The assembly was called to order yesterday morning by Mrs. Weed, the president. The first committee to report was that to determine the controversy be tween Mrs. M C. Goodlette, of New York, and Mrs. Gaines, of Alabama, ais to which of the two was entitled to the honor of being the founder of the U. D. C. Mrs. Virginia McSherry, as chairman of the committee, pre sented a majority report In favor of Mrs. Goodlette, Mrs. J. W. Tench, of Florida, a member of the decision committee, brought in a min ority report in favor of Mrs. Gaines. Upon motion of Mrs. Rounsaville, of Georgia, the majority report was accepted with the minority report attached. The report of the Custodian of the Crosses of Honor was next submitted and upon motion of Mrs. Stone, of Texas, it was decided to present crosses to veterans only on the birth days of Jefferson and Lee and on Memorial Day. Mrs. W. H. Overman, of North Car olina, chairman of tbe committee on an official organ for the U. D. C, ask ed that the committee be continued. It wa suggested that the convention settle the question and the merits of the Lost Cause, of Louisville, Ky., and the Confederate Veteran, of Nashville, Tenn., were presented. It was at length decided that for th en suing year at least, there was no cause to change from the Veteran and that publication was adopted by tbe convention. The Emblem, Motto and Flower Committee reported through Mas. J. E. Cantrill, of Kentucky. A five pointed star was determined upon as an emblem and the motto was decided upon as "Think, Love, Pray, Dare and Live," each of the words to occupy a place at one of the points of the star. In explanation of their selection. Mrs. Cantrill said: To act without thought is folly; to set without love is unholy; to act without prayer is not religious; all thought, all love, all prayer with out execution is ineffective or coward ly; to live in flesh or in memory." Tbe report was unanimously adopted. The cotton plant was decided upon as the official flower and the report of the committee was adopted with thanks. At this juncture Mrs. W. M. Pars ley presented Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, who wished to bid the convention farewell. . She was led to the front of the stage and on account of her hoarse ness, she said through Mrs. Weed, tbe president, that she had enjoyed being one of the convention during the week and hoped that the follow ing year would be one of prosperity and pleasure for the U. D. C. Upon motion it was made the duty of Stone wall Jackson Chapter, of Charlotte, to see that "the mother of the Confed eracy" should be at the Louisiana convention next year. Mrs. Taylor Ellyson, of Richmond, in tbe name of the Confederated Mem orial and Literary Society, thanked divisions for the care of their respec tive rooms in the Museum at Rich mond. Mrs. Cantrell, of Kentucky, moved a suspension of the rules and the entry upon tbe election of officers, which motion was unanimously car ried. In the meantime reports of the Historical and Memorial committees were continued until next conven tion. - The election of officers resulted as follows: President Mrs. J. A Rounsaville, nf Rnm. Oa. - First Vice President Mrs. Mollie M. McGill Rosenberg, of Galveston, Second Vice President Mrs. T. J. Latham, of Memphis, Tenn. . Recording Secretary Mrs. , J. P.

E Gabbitt, of Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Rounsaville was nominated for the presidency by lln. W. W. Read, of New York, and her election was by acclamation after numerous seconds. Mrs. Rosenberg's choice for the first vice presidency was upon nominations of Miss Dtrnnovant, of Texas, and Mrs. McSherry, of West Virginia, and was likewise by acclamation. Mrs. Basil Duke, of Kentucky, and Mrs. Norman V. Randolph, of Rich mond, Va., were requested by the presi dent to escort Mrs. Rounsaville to the platform which they did, Mrs. Roun saville responding Li" a lPPy peech COPENTION. Cordial Invitation From New thanking the convention for the honor. Mrs. Weed, in presenting her, stated that she bad come , -with the approval of her State, and the love and devo tion of her chapter.' 8he has love and kindness in her heart and when the end of her term has come "we shall all rise up and call her blessed." Mrs. Rosenberg, the newly elected first vice president) was escorted to the rostrum by Mrs. J. J. Latham, of Tennessee and Mrs. Cooley, of Flor ida. She responded; to her election in a graceful manner .and was' given much applause. Mrs. Pinckney Smith, of Louisiana, nominated Mrs. Latham for the second vice-presidency and Mrs. Latham in turn nominated Mrs. Anne Washing ton Rapley, of Missouri The latter nomination was seconded by North Carolina and then came the first con test of the election . The roll of States was called and Mrs. Latham's election wss declared. Florida proposed it be made unanimous and the convention did so by a rising .vote. Mrs. Smith, of New Orleans, and Mrs. Cooley, of Florids, escorted her to the stand, and she introduced herself as the "dark horse," and proceeded with a speech of thanks sparkling with wit "and hu mor, which convulsed the convention at times with laughter. She concluded by saying : "And now the 'dark horse' will take her seat." For recording secretary, Mrs. Cooley, of Florida, nominated Mrs. W. H. Overman, of North Carolina, who protested bitterly. Mrs. Cone Johnson, of Texas, nominated the present incum bent, Mrs. Hickman, seconded by Mrs. Overman. She was the choice of the convention in a vote of 604 to 868. Im mediately upon her election Mrs. Hick man resigned, but the convention re fused to accept the resignation, where upon she finally consented to serve. The vote was by standing and resulted 45 to 42. Mesdames 8tone, of Texas, and Mer chant, of Virginia, nominated Mrs. McSnerry, for corresponding secre tary, and Mrs. Overman nominated Mrs. Cooley, of Florida. Mrs. Cooley declined the nomination and asked her friends to support Mrs. McSherry. Mrs. Randolph, of Richmond, nom inated Mrs. Thomas, of Atlanta, for re-election to the office of treasurer, bat she declined. Mrs. McSherry nominated Mrs. Leigh, and the vote was finally made unanimous. For the- same office, Missouri nominated Mrs John M Phillips, of the same State, Mrs. Stone, of Texas, nominated Mrs. S. E. Gabbrill, of Atlanta, as custodian of the "Crosses of Honor," and her choice was unanimous upon motion of Mrs. Johnson, of Texas. Mrs. Gabbrill was allowed a secretary at a salary of $100 for services, and the same amount was allowed the custo dian. When tbe election of officers had been completed Mrs. Overman, of North Carolina, asked that Mrs. Stone wall Jackson be made one of the hon orary presidents with Mrs. Goodlette for life and a motion to that effect was carried amid much enthusiasm. Resolutions wera adopted during the evening, thanking the retiring officers for their devoted ser vices. Practically all of them had a silent understanding with the conven tion that they would not stand for re election. Upon motion of Mrs. Latham a neat resolution of most gracious thanks was tendered tbe convention to Wil mington and the various organizations that contributed to their pleasure during the convention sessions, .among those named being the' Y. M C. A, Cape Fear Chapter, Carolina Yacht Club, Colonial Dames, the rail roads, Capt. Harper of the steamer Wilmington, Wilmington' Light In fantry, Veterans and the press of the city. Upon motion of Mrs. McCullougb, of Virginia, $500 was appropriated out of the funds of the U. D. C. for the Jefferson Davis Monument, the same payable after Feb. 1st, 1902. Upon motion of Mrs. Randolph, of Richmond, a resolution was adopted having for its purposa a correction of the evil of the indiscriminate confer ring by veteran camps of titles upon persons, thereby deprecating those titles which have been won in battle. Another resolution by the same author and liberally endorsed was adopted which requests veteran camps to re strict the appointment of more than two sponsors or maids of honor to at tend reunions and asking that these be selected from the U. D. C. or other accredited Confederate organisations.' The secretary was instructed to con vey the action of the convention to Gen John B. Gordon. Mrs. Cone Johnson, of Texas, read a report from the Army of Tennessee, asking for a correction of these evils just acted upon. - -' Mrs. Tench, of Florida, returned thanks to the chapters for donations during the recent severe conflagration by fire In that city and sympathy of the convention wan extended. It was also permitted that Crosses of Honor i901. destroyed in that fire be restored to veterans where there was proof of actual loss. Mrs. Gaston Meares, of Wilmington, and others made a plea for the restoration of all crosses where they had been lost by acci dent, but a motion by Mrs. Merchant, of Virginia, prevailed to the effect that crosses are to be re stored only to veterans who lost them in Jacksonville. It would be a dan gerous precedent, the convention de cided, to have those lost by mere acci dent replaced. Upon the suggestion of Mrs. Stone, of Texas, and motion by Mrs. Thomas, of Atlanta, Miss Julia Lee, a niece of Mrs. Randolph, was made custodian -of the memorial flag presented on the opening day of the convention by Mrs. Rosenberg, of Texas, and it was or dered kept in the Texas room of the Confederate Museum, of Richmond, and taken to all conventions. Mrs. Smith of Louisiana, offered a place for it in the Memorial Hall in New Or leans. Mrs. Smith made an appeal for the same railroad rates to the U. D.C. con ventions that were given for veteran re-unions, and the matter was referred to the Transportaton Committee with instruction to present the matter to the Southern States Passenger Association, of Atlanta. Missouri sent a cordial invitation to have the convention meet in 1903 in St. Louis upon the occasion of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and theanfe was accepted with thanks. Mrs. J. Pinckney Smith, of Louisi ana, read a cordial invitation from New Orleans to have the convention meet in that city in 1902, and the same was accepted. The invitation was pre sented on a copper, plate splendidly engraved, neatly framed 'and bearing the signatures of the Governor of the State, Mayor of the city and other prominent personages. -The invita tion is a' work of art and was ordered placed in the Confederate Museum. Mrs. McSherry extended an invita tion for Wheeling, W. Va., but Mrs. Smith's invitation had been previously accepted. Amendments to the constitution were then proposed, and a lengthy discussion ensued, but only one of the amendments that more fully defin ing the duties of tbe secretary was adopted. One of the amendments was by Mrs. Parsley, of Wilmington, which was designed to facilitate the work of the Credential Committee and obviate prolonged discussion in this regard, as was noted here upon the opening of the convention. The convention adjourned at 5:30 o'clock, having been in continuous session since 9 :30 A. M. Many of the delegates left on a special train via the 8. A. L. for Atlanta at 5-30 o'clock. Night Session of the Convention. Many of the officers and delegates were still in the city, and it was de cided to hold a night session, which continued until 12 o'clock, the conven tion at that hour formally adjourning by singing the doxology. Mrs. We d called the session to or der at 8:30 o'clock and much time was consumed in reading the minutes ef the day meeting. The president read cordial greetings from R. B. Haughton, of St. Louis, Commander-in chief of the United Sons of Veterans. A loving tribute was paid to the Daughters and the President was instructed to most gra ciously acknowledge the greetings through the corresponding secretary. Upon motion of Mrs. Randolph, it was determined in the future to en tirely devote the first and second days of future conventions to business. Mrs. T. M. Worcester, of Cincinna ti, Ohio, read a beautiful letter from Miss Florence Tucker Winder, formerly of Raleigh, N. C, but now president of R. E. Lee Chapter, U. D. C, of Columbus, the letter contained beautiful sentiment and was dramatically read with splendid effect by Mrs. Worcester. A report was likewise read from Ohio giving data concerning a Confederate ceme tery near Columbus where 2,000 un known dead are buried. It was shown that Col. Norse, of Columbus, has been caring for these graves and a rising vote of appreciation was accord ed him by the Daughters and also to Miss Winder for the tender sentiment expressed in her letter. R. E. Lee chapters of Alabama and' Virginia asked to be permitted to. send indivi dual greetings. . Mrs. Randolph made a, motion which prevailed, to the effect that Southern representatives in Congress and in the Senate be urged to use their best endeavor to grant the Daughters privilege of moving the graves of their unknown dead and of bringing them home to the South land from National cemeteries when it was desired. The motion was adopted and a committee appointed to confer with the Confederate Memorial Association in this regard. . Mrs. Cooley offered several amend ments to the by-laws, aimed at facili tating work of conventions, some of which were adopted and some were not, Master Frank Shepard, of Wilming ton, was again introduced to the con vention and he asked the honor of presenting to the newly elected presi dent a photograph of the White House of the Confederacy at Montgomery, Ala., and a copy of the , last public letter written by Mr. Jefferson Davis to the Fay etteville Chamber of Com merce. The gift was gracefully ac knowledged by Mrs. Rounsaville and Master Shepard was given the vote of the convention for his gallant atten tion during the convention's, sessions, The hour bt. midnight came on and Mrs. Weed, the president, stated that it did not become the convention to re main ift session tintir Sunday and aa there was no time for: an , approval of the minutes, this duty was delegated WHOLE NO. 10,684 to Mrs. Wm. M. Parsley and two members of Cape Fear Chapter. 8hortly after the midnight hour the convention came to an end by the sing ing of the doxology. Mrs. Ronnssvifle, tbe New President "There is probably no member of tbe Daughters of tie Confederacy bet ter or more favorably known than Mrs. Jas. A.
