The foregoing unusually relish
ing menu having been dispatched
by a company which comprised
some sixty guests, and the hum of
conversation having run around
the circle for some time, one of the
party arose and proposed the health
of the distinguished guests, and
called upon Hon. r. f. del Valle to
respond. The chairman met the
requirements Of the occasion in a
specially felicitous speech, in which
he paid several very graceful and
deserved compliments to Governor
Perkins. In response to what may
be justly described as a social ova-
tion, Gov. Perkins made very
neat post-prandial speech, which
was brimful Of hearty appreciation
of Southern California and of Los
Angeles county. Certainly the
Executive of the State has proved
himself to be hearty friend Of

effort was a marked success. AT
the conclusion of his remarks he
called upon Professor Allen, and
this educational Nestor was fully
responsive to the situation, show
ing himself to be both wise and
witty. Hon. G. T. Ryland was
next called upon to respond to a
regular toast; and, departing from
the beaten track, he made a neal
and joyous speech, which was sciE.
tillant with cOrdiality towards,
and appreciation Of, Los Angeles
city and county. He was followed
by State Superintendent Campbell
in felicitous vein. Quite u mum.

THE VERMONT CONFERENCE.

held at Bradford, closing this morning.
Bishop Andrews and Bishop Harris
presiding. The attendance was very
large and the pleasant village of Brad
ford was never more full of visitors.
Beside the usual business exercises, the
matter in relation to the disaffection of
that part of the conference known as the
Burlington District, took considerable
time, and caused much discussion.
There we're present DIR. B. K Pierce of
Boston, DR.. Vincent of New York, Chap
lain Mack of Concord, N. H., Chaplain
McCabe of Chicago, D. c. Babcock of
Philadelphia, DR.. Butler, missionary.
DR.. Hunt and many other noted men of
the denomination. We are able to re-
port the following in relation to- the
appointments in the st. Johnsbury
District:
Presiding Elder. W. D. Malcolm /; Al
bany, S. S. Brigham Barton, A. n.

A Washington letter says that the
President looks thinner than he did
month ago. but his health never was
better; his appetite is good, he sleeps
we'll, and every pleasant day he enjoys
ride on horseback. He shows plainly
that he regards his Cabinet as constitu-
tional advisers, and not as Board of
Dlctators, and he has told the Secretaries
that when they can not attend Cabinet
meeting they need not send their assist
ants as substitutes.

der to take effect May l, recognizing
the entire mail service. All employees
doing the same work are placed upon
an equality as regards salary, and all
appointments of employees and local
mail agents will be for probationary
period of SIX months and at a salary of
5000 per annum. If at the expiration
of six months such employees records
are satisfactory, appointments will be
made permanent. This looks like prac-
teal civil service reform.

We call attention to the advertise
ment of the Phoenix Mutual Life ms.
Co. of Hartford, Conn, in another col
umn for few good agents. 1t seems
a rare good chance for the right kind of a
man to take hold and build up good and
permanent business. We have looked
over the statement for the yearl8 $50 and
the showing is excellent. The manager
at Albany N, Y. for New York state
and Vermont and New Hampshire. is one
of the ablest managers in the field, and
the general agent for Vermont state is
an old resident of Rutland and a native
Vermonter; we feel that any man seek
ing a field for life insurance work would
do we'll to write or call on either of
these gentlemen.
