The Railroad Conductors Life Ins surance as
ISOLATION of the United States and Canadas-
met last year in Washington, D. c., and at
that meeting conferred upon st. Paul the dis
tinguished honor of choosing it as the scene Of
its annual convention for 1850. In making
thi, choice the whole number of votes cast was
DOL, divided as follows: st. Paul, 414; Cincin-
natl, 3l6; Cleveland, e5; WiIliamsport, ~;
Kansas City, 80.
Yesterday the knights of the lantern and
punch began arriving in train loads, and by 8
P. II. the hotels were crowded. and there was
standing room only" About one hundred
and fifty members of the association, most
of them with their families, rested at the Mer
chants and Metropolitan last night.
st. Paul is proud of the honor bestowed upon
her. and the visitors have met with most COR
dial reception on all hands. We much re-
great the nature of their occupation precludes
the possibility of their prolonging this visit
beyond the brief scan of two or three days,
that our citizens might save an opportunity
of bestowing upon the visitors the abounding
hospitality for which st. Paul Is famous.
However. our people can do great deal in
short time, when they are 40 minded, and we
doubt not they will do themselves proud in
this instance, and that the conductors will car.
ry away many pleasant memories of their stay,
to enliven the tedious hours of hard, nonoto-
nous and always dangerous service.
As a list of the places of holding former con-
ventions of the association, we give it here. It
was organized in 1868, and its first meeting was
held in Cinninnati: the second, 1859, in
