DIR. Mttchell's Call to this CITY.

TO BE PASTOR OF THE CHURCH OF THE COVE
NANT-HIs INTEREST IN THE NEW CHURCH.
1t is expected that the Rev. Dr. Mitchell, who
has recently been called as pastor of the new
Presbyterian church, the Church of the Cove
nant, which is situated on N street, near Con.
necticut avenue, will assume the duties of his
new position on the first of next month AS is
Wen known, Dr. Mitchell, while here as pastor
OF the New York Avenue Presbyterian church.
was very much interested in the project,
preached at that time, of organizing a new
church in the northwestern section of the CITY
Inis new church is the realization of this plan.
ana ior this reason Or. Mitchell was willing to
come here on smaller salary than he is now
receiving in Buffalo He is satisfied with his
work in that city, but feels that his duty called

whether the church would be able TO paw as
large salary as was proposed. That question

Riders ON Appropriation Bills.
Mr.. CANNON, OF ILLINOIS, OPPOSED TO THEM
But NOT IN FAVOR OF TAKING THE BILLS
FROM THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE.
Some of the more. conservative members of
both parties have taken up the question of
changing the rules of the House. They Will
favor different plan from that proposed by
Mr.. Springer. They are opposed 10 the distribu-
ton of the appropriation bills among other COM
mttees, but will direct their attention to the
prevention of riders being carried through the
House on the appropriation bills. Their idea is
to give the committee control of all apprOprid-
tons, but to take from it the power to legslate
or recommend legislation On the bills.
Representative Cannon, OF Illinois, who is
member of the appropriations committee, said
to-day that he would oppose the distribution
because II would only spread the evil that now
exists The fault lies entirely with the House
in allowing riders to go through on the bills. If
other committees had the bills they would use
them as vehicles of legislation even to q greater
extent than tue appropriations committee does
aud he thinks the evil would thus be intensi-
to be held closely TO their functions of examin-
ing into and recommending legislation and
the appropriations committee should be
allowed to do nothing but handle appropria-
tons. With riders excluded from the appro-
priatiOn bills he thinks the greatest evil in the
rules OF the House would be corrected.
Many others of the leading members take
this view of the case, and some OF the ablest
men in the House have been at work in the
library for several days looking up the law and
precedence for the question.

Floral Festival Notes.

All the early morning hours yesterday
photographers were busy at the PaVihoh
/: taking pictures of the various floral pieces
The public was admitted from 10 A. NJ TO
P NJ. After that hour Mrs. Crocker was
engaged in grouping floral pieces and hav-
ing photographs taken for her own gratltl-
cation To-day the frames of the pieces,
potted plants. etc. will be removed by. the
exhibitors All the cards on the pieces
have been collected, and are to become the
property Of Mrs. Croker and be preserved
in portfolio rs ore OF the sOvcnlrs OF the
| event.
Additional interest attached TO the floral
bell used in decorating the Suffers f9rt
exhibit, made by the Pioneers, from the
fact that it was the wedding bell Just Iseo
in crowning the nuptials of Colonel McAas-
ser's granddaughter, Miss Minnie McNas-
ser, and was subsequently presented by inc
Colonel to the Pioneers for use at the teSu-
val. The floral yoke, horseshoe ana rue
lover knot, also seen among the decoTa-
tons of the Fort, were presented ny
Colonel McNasser from the decorations OF
the same occasion.
The fine floral piece exhibited at the tes-
tival, representing lighthouse, was from
the Board of Trade OF this city, and not
from San Francisco as stated Yesterday
The fact that the piece was made by flor
ist of San Francisco and shipped here, led
u the error of the published report. =,
To avoid any misapprehension 1t should
be stated that the floral exhibit made 1T the
name of the Towards was at the private
expense of the Directors, and not pald
from the funds of the association. The
card ACCOMPANYING the exhibit was beauti-
fully printed, with a seal of the organlZa-
ton in the center, together with the names
of the officers and Directors, and the state
ment: Number of persons relieved, Co.
217. Amount of money distributed IN
twenty-seyen years. S223,75O 40.
Three frames, eight feet by two, com
posed of sweet williams, ma1golds, red
roses and emperor S flowers, as the relief Tor
q wealth of white roses forming the words
:" Tribute from Folsom, were contributed
by General McComb, Warden of the State
Prison at Folsom. Accompanying these
pieces were fifty baskets of beautiful flow
ers in every variety from the same con-
tributor, making a carload of flowers from
the prison grounds.
1t is ascertained that there were several
pieces ordered for the festival which failed
to reach here in accordance with orders.
Among them was floral offering by Mr.
and Mrs. C. G.. Hooker, of San Francisco
but who met the situation by contributing
generously to the fund required to make
the occasion a success.
Among those who furnished extensive
contributions OF cut flowers from abroad
but whose names were omitted concern
ing the same, were Mrs. |. Z. Dwinell,
Mrs. H. l. Jewett, Mrs. L. r. Sylvester,
Miss Lucy Moore, and Miss +. L. de
