appeared and returned thanks for the

he was not forgotten abroad but had
been honored by an appointment
to Federal position that he did not expect.
1t had been so long since he had applied
for the position that he had forgotten about
it, did not expect it, and when the news
Of his appointment was flashed across the
wires he was the most surprised individual
in the State. 1t was high honor, one that
he greatly appreciated. He was only sorry
for one thing-it would cause him for a
time at least to give up his home in this
city. He had been reared in Sacramento,
this was the dearest spot on earth to him,
and wherever his lot was cast his heart
would be with Sacramento.
The serenaders next visited the residence
of R. S. Carey, who acknowledged the conf
pliment by appearing and making brief
address.
From Mr. Carey's the club went to the
Capital Hotel and serenaded L. G. Bless
ing, after which they dispersed.
