THE MINISTER'S IN SESSION
A Rousing Reception Given Them a
the M. E. Church-Excursion to
Cohassett Beach.

On Tuesday evening large crowd was
present at the First M. E. church to well
come the Puget Sound Conference to our
city. The church was packed to the
gallery, and one noticeable feature OF the
gathering was that the men were in the
majority.
A delightful program Of music had been
prepared for the occasion, and appro-
pirate speeches of welcome were made
by Rev. Butler, Prof Bryant and Jacob
Weatherwax, responded to on behalf OF
the conference by Presiding Elder Brown
A witty address by Bishop Fitzgerald,
followed by remarks by Drs. Spencer and
Peck, ended the program, and after sing
ing hymn and receiving the benediction
the audience was dismissed at 1870, so
as to allow the ministers to get good
nights rest before entering on the labors
of the conference.
On Wednesday morning services were
held at 9 o'clock, and at noon the Clan
Mcdonald carried the body on an excur-
sion to the beach.
See program in another column.

manifest, and there are several cases that
promise to prove fatal. One young man
who imagined himself secure strolled out
to see the moon rise, but, strange to say,
when he returned from stroll down the
beach, presumably to obtain a better
view, on being questioned, he reluctantly
admitted that his thoughts had been
charmed from the moon by bright pair
of eyes, the property of his companion,
and that he had seen nothing else !;
another young man saw three moons rise,
and he is not given to drink, either.
Bathing continues to enjoy great popu-
larity, and at all times Of the day large
group can be seen ducking about in the
surf.
Many of the people are getting ready
to return to Aberdeen in time for the
opening Of the public schools, while
others announce their intention of re-
naming until the rainy season sets in.
On an average about five hundred peo-
pie arrive and depart each day, so it is
not worth while to attempt to enumerate
them.

victory for the-gir's Nor was this d e
to any lack OF effort on the part of the
losers some of the young ladies displayed
wonderful agility and proved themselves
great kickers.
The moonlight nights No place could
be lovlier than the beach by moon light.
The constant roar of the ocean, the water
lit up by the soft light of the moon, the
gisiening sand, the couples strolling here
and there, are all productive and sug-
gestive of sentiment. The subtle influ-
ences Of the place are making themselves

ScENE-A room in Harford's villa.
The iarce is in one act and opens with
Lucy and James spreading the table for
lunch in the drawing room of Harford's
villa. As usual, they are in love with each
other and are as sentimental as such
people usually are. When their task is
finished, James requests Lucy to say
"Thank goodness, the table is spread. !"
She treats this as foolish request and re-
fuses to comply; he requests, entreats
and commands, without avail. Mr.. Har-
ford, a young man who has been married
for three months, overhears the difficulty
and relates it to his wife when she comes
in. Mrs. Hartford thinks James very
foolish to make such a request and thinks
Lucy quite right in refusing to fulfill it !;
Mr.. Harford's sympathies are all on the
other side. Finally, he requests his wife
to repeat the words. "Thank goodness,
the table is spread" which she emphati
cally refuses to do. Then follows scene
with tears and sobs on the part of the
wife, with cutting sarcasm and sneers
from the young husband. While this
state of affairs is existent, the wife's par
ents come in to lunch with the Young
couple. In the course of the meal Mr..
HARDWOOD proposes the toast "Here is to
many such days as the present." This
starts the young wife's tears, and to set
himself right with her parents her hus-
band relates the history of their quarrel
The mother takes sides with her daugh-
ter, while the father thinks his son-in-law
in the right, and asks his wife to repeat
the words; she stoutly refuses, and the
old people have a stormy scene. All
hands repent of their obstinacy, and a
reconciliation is effected between the
younger couple by Hartford presenting
his wife hadsone shawl. The mother
is anxious to become reconciled at the
same cost, but her husband has had too
much experience to be thus taken in.
Lucy and James, the unintentional cause
OF all the trouble, are summoned, and
Lucy is urged, by Mrs. HARDWOOD, to re-
peat the words "Thank goodness, the
table is spread" whereon Mr.. Barwood
remarks, "There, think you said it, old
lady" and then general laugh all
around. Finally, after her mistress
promises she shall be married within the
next few weeks, Lucy gives in, says the
words, and falls pack into James arms.
Then the curtain. The company was
drilled by G. H. Green, ard the acting
and m ike-ups were good-in the superla-
tive degree. The house was filled, and
the performance Melted $40.
A number OF teams are on the grounds
and the splendid drive over the hard
sand is being utilized.
One of the favorite amusements, joined
in by both sex, is foot ball. On Saturday
a game was played between the young
ladies and young men. The game was
exciting in the extreme, and the result a

WILLIAM w. KINsLEY, a deputy collector
of customs stationed at Richford, committed
suicide by hanging on last week Friday
morning. He had been in poor health for
some time and his mind had become unbal.
anced by this, in connection with sickness
in his family, and he doubtless took his
life in fit of mental depression. Mr. Kins-
ley was appointed to the customs service in
June last, and had proved himself to be
faithful and efficient officer. He was one of
five brothers who served in the Union army
during the rebellion. AS member of Com
pany A of the Eighth Vermont regiment,
he was present at the siege of Port Hudson,
where he received several wounds from
fragments Of a bursting shell, which per-
manently disabled him for active service,
and he was subsequently transferred to the
veteran reserve corps. Mr.. Knsley was a
farmer by occupation previous to his ap-
pointment in the customs service.
