As smooth as silk was the presentation of “Barbarossa of Barbary,” a two-act musical comedy at the Elite Theatre on the night of April 12.

Annual reports of the Ladies’ Village Improvement Society were read at the last meeting, concluding Mrs. W. W. Bennett’s three years’ presidency.

Mrs. Margaret Leary was elected president for the ensuing year.

Acceptance by congress of the plan and design for the memorial to Theodore Roosevelt submitted by the Roosevelt Memorial Association was urged in a resolution in the house by the Representative Robert L.
