STATE BREAKFAST.
The State breakfast at 1871 | street
by Secretary Frelinghuysen to the
members diplomatic corps and their
ladies was served promptly at II
o'clock, according to the time hon
ored custom. Retaining their court
costumes the diplomatic corps on
throwing aside their wraps on enter
ing, after being presented passed
at once to the dining-room, where
the collation. was spread. The
table was handsomely garnish-
ed as for a large formal lunch
con, the waxen lights in the
twisted silver candelabras adding
greatly to the beauty and sociability
of the occasion. In the centre OF
the table representing a mimic lake,
serving to catch and reflect the many
little flame Jets, lay a large round
plate-glass plaque bound in silver.
Apparently growing up from It's
waveless surface spread profusion
of cut flowers, roses, maiden hair
ferns and scarlet leaves. These,
with the gorgeous military display
of scarlet, gold and white trappings,
all combined to produce beautiful
effect.

The appearance Of the foot and mouth
cattle disease in Maine and Kansas
created great alarm among the cattle
men Of the west. The Wyoming Stock
Growers association will take immedi-
ate steps to quarantine the territory
and to exterminate affected cattle
should the disease appear in this terri
tory. They have legal authority and
indemnity funds raised for that pur-
pose. The association has telegrapbed
the governors of adjoining states and
territories, urging the enforcement OF
quarantine regulations against affected
cattle and infected districts and ex-
termination OF disease by destruction
of animals should the disease break out
in their respective states and territories.
Governor Hale, Of this territory. is in
hearty accord with the association and
will use his full legal authority to pro-
tect this territory against the disease.

Judge Blair ..out OF the woods,

A dispatch vas received by Marshal
Schnitger at Laramie City, on Satur-
day. stating that Judge Blair's name
would be sent in to the senate on yes
terday for confirmation as associate
justice of the supreme court of this
territory. Up to the present writing
no dispatch has been received confirm
atory OF this news, but there is proba-
bly, no doubt but that Judge Blair will
be his own successor. Probably the
most of the people of this territory will
be glad to hear of this inasmuch as
there has been such a persistent at
tempt to defeat his reappointment.
Judge Blair has always been what may
well be termed "a Just judge"

FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS.
The Contest between David and
Meldrum---Other Omcers.

The following excerpts are from a
private letter from Washington re-
ceived in Cheyenne on Sunday:
Before this letter reaches you, the
news of Judge Sener's removal will be
known all over the territory. The ap-
pointment of Mr.. Perry was decided
upon yesterday. That is, while he was
really booked for the place for some
time, his appointment was simply held
back because of the usual backwardness
OF the president in removing a man.
But the fact that the spring term Of
court at Cheyenne is approaching
caused Mr.. Arthur to act at once.
"The opposition to Judge Blair has
proved to be the best card in his favor.
The charges against him, we're not sub
stantiated, and were SO outrageous in
character that the presidents sympa-
thies.now lean verylstrongly in favor of
the Judge. Besides there is no great
effort made to get his place by others.
"But the reasons that operate in
favor Of Judge Blair have an opposite
effect upon Judge Brown. 1t is
generally conceded hat he will not be
reappointed as United States district
attorney for Wyoming. Thos. NJ.
Fisher, of Cheyenne, has some good
G. A. r. backing for the place, and
Senator Logan is said to have gone to
see Attorney General Brewster in Mr..
Fishers interest. But as Mr.. Arthur
and Mr.. Logan are supposed to be
rivals for the nomination at Chicago, 1t
is u question whether Logan's inter-
cession will be sufficient.
From what L can learn there is nc
serious opposition to Secretary Morgan.
At the interior department his reap
pointment is looked upon as settled.
but there is a lively contest going
on for the surveyor generalship of
Wyoming. General David has some
wire pullers at work, and he is piling
up a vast number of letters. Besides
this several persons have gone to Score.
tary Teller in his interest with some
points against Mr.. Medium, among
them, one that Mr.. Meldrum's brother
is surveyor general of q neighborlng
state, Colorado; and that the govern.
ment ought to frown down on two
brothers holding similar offices in con-
tiguous states. Another point is, that
the republican party repudiated Nj.
Meldrum as a leader, because he was
defeated for congress, when he ought
to have been elected, because of a sup.
posed republican majority in Wyoming.
"Mr. Medium has done some good
work while here, and he has Secretary
Teller with him. But q truce has been
called, and the matter will abide for a
time.
There has been another Richmond
in the field for some time, in the person
of Mr.. Samuel Losch, of Pottsville,
Pa. Mr.. Quay. of Pennsylvania, is Mr..
Losch's champion, and he is said to
stand very well with the president"

CONGREGATIONAL Church.
On last Sabbath the new audience
chamber was used as announced. Rev.
Mr.. Sanders preached from Luke 4:16,
and developed the following sugges-
tions:
l. Christ had great respect for the
Sanctuary.
2. This respect for the Sanctuary
manifested itself in His attendance
upon the public worship OF the Sab
bath.
8. He was also an interested partici-
pant to the service.
a. This attendance was regular.
8. Christ had been trained to this
practice by his parents.
In conclusion Mr.. Sanders referred
to the new church home and what il
was hoped would be accomplished in
it.
Last evening the Sunday school and
social room of the new church were
dedicated with appropriate cere-
monies.
The pastor presided and the choir of
the church were present and aided in
the service Of song. Rev. Mr.. Ed
ridge, of the NJ. E. church, read the
10Th and Goth psalms.
The pastor then read the following
dedication:
With gratitude to. Thee, our Heaven
ly Father, who hast enabled thy ser
wants to provide their room for social
worship and the study or thy holy
word, we now and here dedicate to thy
service.
Accept, we humbly pray, this offer
ing which we now present, and CON
secrate it, we beseech thee, as a place
of social prayer and holy song for the
teaching of thy word on the Lords
day, and as a place where all who wor-
ship in the house may gladly meet for
fraternal greeting and social inter
course.
May it please thee to bless with thy
loving favor all thy servants as they
gather here to sing thy praise, call upon
thy name, to speak of thy gospel, and to
teach thy word. May hearts that are
burdened and weary here find relief
and rest, and grant, we entreat thee, a
special Measure Of thy grace to all who
shall here first testify of a Redeemer's
love. May thy special blessing also
rest upon all who shall here study the
pages OF thy holy truth. To the young
may thy word ever be a lamp unto
their feet, a light unto their path, and
may its heavenly radiance cheer and
comfort those of maturer years.
Make thy face to shine upon thy
servants and to teach us thy statutes.
And blessed be thy glorious name for
yer and ever, and let the whole earth
be filled with thy glory. Amen.
The dedicatory address was given by
the Rev. Daniel Staver, pastor of the
Congregational church of Greeley. His
topic was Spirituality in the Sabbath
School" The address was listened to
with interest.
Rev. H.. p. c .se offered the prayer
of dedication and after singing, Mr..
Case spoke for a few moments urging
the Importance of the Sunday school
work.
Services to-day will be as follows:
This afternoon from 2 to 3 O'Clock,
prayer meeting. Topic-'Our Sunday
School Work." From 3 to 4 O'Clock, a
Sunday school address, by Rev. Mr..
Case.
At 1880 p. M. a sermon will be
preached by Rev. j.. b. Griggs, Of
Colorado Springs. Topic-''The Doc
trinal Study Of the Scriptures"
Both sessions to-day will be of special
interest to Christian workers, and it is
hoped that all who can will be present.
