THE EPWORTH LEAGUE. There were fully 600 people present on last Sabbath afternoon at the regular meeting of the Epworth League. The occasion was the literary exercises of that popular organization and a paper by Mr. James A. Clarke on temperance.

The paper was well written and eloquently delivered Mr. Clarke discussed the evils which grow out of intemperauce. He advised his hearers come slaves to the wine-cup. It has caused many to die before their time and be buried in the drunkard's grave. ASKING RELIEF.

There were interesting exercises held at the Asbury Church Sunday afternoon February 3. The genial W.

H. Clarke, who has done so much for the school and Asbury Church, was on hand officiating. The speakers of the occasion were Lawyer E. M. Hewlett, Miss Mattie Bowen, and Mrs.

Helen Smith, nee Helen Ricks. The papers addresses were well read and delivered. This lyceum is growing in popularity, and there is no doubt that it will be one of the finest in the city. The musicale given at Howard University chapel last Monday night by the University Hill Association for the benefit of the poor was a success in every way. Each piece rendered received a hearty encore.

Several who had promised to take in the entertainment failed to appear. Nevertheless. everybody was highly pleased with the programme. W. Brooker, is proprietor of the Richmond House, corner of 13th and streets, southeast.

E. CONFERENCE. The ca'endar of ecclesiastical bodies whose meetings occur in the spring is interesting on account of the number and prominence of the denominations represented. As might be expected, the Methodist will keep up the record of former years. The Washington Annual Conference (Methodist Episcopal) will convene for its thirty second session at Richmond, March 6, 1895.

Bishop W. F. Mallalieu, D. of Buf falo, N. is president.

This distinguished divine has the reputation of being a very effective speaker. He has remarkable executive ability, and unites affabil ty. He was an intimate friend of the late Bishop Gilbert Haven, and evidences profound sympathy with the principles and aims of that sainted man as regards the uplifting of the colored people of this country. The conference over which he is to preside is composed of nearly one hundred and fifty ministers, among whom there are not a few men of deserved eminence. territory compassed is quite extensive, embracing six presiding elders' districts.

These include over thirty thousand members, counting the probationers, who own three hundred and twenty churches and sixty-six parsonages, estimated to be worth nearly a million dollars. There are over twentyfive thousand Sunday school scholars enrolled in the three hundred and sixtyeight schools organized. With such a large number of communicants. so well equipped for Washington Conference must prove a mighty factor among the religious torces of America. Virginia's capital will, 110 doubt, give the itinerants a cordial wel.
