A PASTOR PROBABLY SECURED.
The Second Presbyterian Congregation Is
Promised an Eloquent Young Preacher.

For some months the Second Presby terian
Church has been without preacher. and
within that time several ministers have
preached in its pulpit. the congregation
meantime making no sign. either of ap-
prevail or disapproval. of the quality of
mental sustenance that was furnished.
Members of the church. in their travels
over the country, have been dropping into
Presbyterian churches here and there. on
the lookout for pastor; and two commit
tess. perhaps more. have been sent out to
listen TO ministers who have been favorably
mentioned to leading members. One of
these committees, Sunday before last.
was at Fond du Lac, Wis. Its
members must have been deep
ly impressed with q minister they
heard at that place. for Immediately on
their return with report like that of the
spies who reported the exceeding richness
OF Canaan. another committee was dis
patched. This last COMMITTEES consisted of
J. Osgood. Z. e. Van Camp and Charles +.
Sayles. Messrs. Van Camp and Sayles
stopped in Chicago. but the other three
speak IN glowing terms TO members of the
church OF the preacher they heard last
merely confirm what the previous epmmit-
tee Is reported to have said, but to have
gone further in their praise.
Ihe gentleman who viii probably be Sc
lected to fill the pulpit of the Second
Church is Rev. Joseph A. Milburn. thirty
one years old. single. and who has never
held any other pastorr te than the one he
now holds IN litsit Presby yterian church
at Fond du Lac. - b, re he is held i'm the
highest esteem and considered the best pnl-
pit speaker in all hat part of the country.

and his church 10 jammed with
people every Sunday. Members of
the committee Seciine to say what
which will meet in the lecture-room of the
Second Church this forenoon at 10 o'clock
but there Is benign expression upon their
couDtenances that gives indication that the
long struggle is over. Mr.. Milburn is an
Englishman by birth. but came to this
country when "A child. He is a graduate of

4 Vice President Fishing.

When Hannibal Hamlin was vice
president of the United States he went
fishing in a Canadian stream and
had struck a splendid salmon. A boat
approached in which We're the English
treaty commissioners. Mr.. Hamlin was
meeting the crisis with the vigor and
skill of an accomplished angler. The
Englishmen, as their boat drew near,
saw that he was battling with a noble
foe. When told who the gentlemen
We're Mr.. Hamlin called out, You must
excuse me till | land this salmon!" The
introduction was deferred for about half
an hour, when the Englishmen were able
to salute not only the vice president, but
the conqueror of a kingly salmon. He
decided the question of etiquette off
hand, though it is to be presumed that
the salmon would have preferred the
following of the venerable and accepted
rule-drop everything when a caller is
announced. st. Louis Republic.
