session in Minneapolis, yesterday got down
to work in earnest, and evidently started in
with the intention of losing no time. Very
naturally, it being the first of the session,
there was the usual tendency to delay by
giving undue attention to matters of COM
paratively small moment, which few days
hence it will be necessary to overlook in
order to dispose of the vast amount of work
that has been outlined. The commissioners
compose the most dignified body that has
probably ever assembled in Minneapolis. In
most conventions few orators monopolize
time with long speeches. In this case the
speeches are generally brief, but the speakers
are many. The attendance of spectators was
small yesterday, but hardly any commission
ers were absent from their seats. They sat
through the day patiently, only relieving
themselves by laughing on two occasions
once when DR.. Howard Crosby recon-
mended the expression a ''close llne'
should be changed to broad line" to bet
ter indicate a distinction. DR.. Pierson re-
torted: "A line has neither breadth nor
thickness / move to make it distinct
line" The other occasion was when Dr.
Eaton gavely moved that lone Of their own
number instead of "a gentleman" as the
report gave it, should be appointed solicitor
of trustees.

tons that the publication of the Record
cease with the current year and after Jan.
