Los Angeles herald., 1892-01-23
PURE

tion. 1t would take a man 1000 years TO
read the papers published in America
in Six months. Let me say that tn
press of California is typical of the press
of America, because every paper in Cal
ifornia says that it is published in the
best town or county in America-the
best place to locate and be supremely
happy. IApplause.l Mr.. De. Young's
Chronicle is a great paper. SO also is
your HERALD here in Los Angeles, and
your Times, and your Express. They
are plowshares of civilization on the
Pacific coast. We have been treated by
newspaper men and by the people OF
California with unexampled hospitality
and it will afford us intense gratlhca-
ton on our return home to tell OF the
wonderful advantages of California.
The Army of tie United States was
responded to by General McCook, who.
in an eloquent and forcible manner, told
how the army had done the pioneer
work in the march of progress to the
Pacific coast. He then, in trenchant
terms, told how the army had been
drawn on for statesmen since the days
OF Washington, and his references to
jackson, Taylor, w. H. Harrison,
Grant and Garfield were applauded to
the echo. And, continued General Nc
Cook, you got Hayes also
A voice-He's raising chickens some
where, amt he?
General McCook-Well, we will pass
him over then. The general paid a
glowing tribute to Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan, and was warmly applauded.
Mr.. j. q. Page then spoke in glowing
terms of the lady delegates to the Press
League convention, saying they would
compare in point of beauty and culture
with the women of California, and
wound up by saying that California was
the modern paradise.
Walter S. Moore humorously and elo-
quenily,tod about the ''tenderfoot" and
his uses in developing the country.
This closed the speechmaking, and
after singing We Are All jolly Good
Fellows, the company rose and took the
train for Los Angeles. The excursion
lists today 90 to San Bernardino and
Riverside, and thence to San Diego.

CHEF HOWARD.
Mr.. A. L. Howard, the head steward
for Ebinger's restaurant, had charge OF
the collation. at Judge Silent's residence,
and made a most successful affair Of the
spread. He displayed exceptional judg..
ment in his selection Of the dishes and
the setting of the tables, the whole pre-
senting most appetizing appearance.
Mr.. Howard had evidently carefully Sc
Iected his assistants, for the service was
adroit and expeditions. All in all, he
proved himself master of his particular
line OF business. He is man OF eXpe-
rience and is possessed of excellent
judgment and an uncommon amount OF
common eense.
