WASHINGTON. March 6.--Mr. Cleveland
arose early. and after breakfasting went
directly to the Presidential room, where he
attempted TO dispatch some business; but
crowds of distinguished visitors soon began
TO storm the door, and Mr.. Cleveland was
obliged to forego his work and listen to
words of cougratulation from governors of
| states, senators, representatives and a host
of others.
President Cleveland's first official invita-
tation was extended to him this afternoon
from the Worlds Fair commissioners and
directors, presented according to a previous
engagement, in the cabinet room at /. To-
Productions were made by ex-senator I.
+. Palmer, chairman of public ceremonies,
addressed the President, extending him an
Invitation TO be present and participate in
in the opening exercises of the Columbian
Worlds Fair and Exposition on May LIST,
next. He expressed the hope that Mrs.
Cleveland would accompany the President,
President Clevelands response was en-
tirely informal and consisted mainly of
questions as to the length of the programme
and time necessary for him TO remain in
Chicago to perform what is expected of
him
IF 60" he said. sit will be because
deem it public duty which ought to dis
charge. At that time, as yon gentlemen
are doubtless aware, there will be many
matters of public importance to demand
my presence here
The President said he would consider the
matter and announce his decision in a day
or two. The committee and gentlemen
shook hands with him and retired.

this afternoon appointed the following COM
mittee to arrange the Republican represen-
tation on the Senate committees: Allison,
chairman, Mcmillan. Proctor, Jones of
Nevada, Wolcott, Shoup, Aldrich, Higgins,

That everybody did not attend the in
augural ball Saturday night was evident
today when the crowds poured into the pen
sion building to see the decorations AMI
listen to the concert by the Marine band.

a scene that fully repaid visit. The con-

Some Information for servant Girls N
the East.
A letter from q bright young woman
| in Connecticut is at hand, Gays the Po
mona Progress, asking for information
concerning the chances in Southern
| California for her and Home friends tc
get positions as servant girls or all
round houee girls. The epistle is simi-
lar to a number that have come in the
past few years. In answer to this, the
men who run employment agencies and
have given their attention to the wages
paid servant girls. cooks and housekeep-
ers and the requirements made OF such
servants in families in this region, tell
us that Southern California ie literal
paradise for capable servant girls. They
say that not only are wages 300 per
cent higher in this region than in simi-
lar positions in the far eastern states,
but that the work here Is 100 per
cent less than in the east. We
have been informed by people who
have employed servants in the east and
in Southern California for years, and
they say that, while So a week or 80 q
month in New England or the middle
BILE servant girl to do all the housework,
cooking, shoveling Of snow, hauling in
coal, washing, ironing and keeping full
quota of children in order when the
mother is away, it takes $18 or 500 q
month to get an independent, saucy,
slovenly girl to get the meals and keep
the house in order, much less to wash
and scrub. As Pomona lady expressed
it the other day, 1.-THE Southern Califor-
mia woman who does not have to keep
the average servant girl in her kitchen
and put up with her ignorance and in
dependence ought to render sincere
thanks for her emancipation"
Our esatern letter writer informs us
that ehe, as servant girl, always expects
to do all the cooking and baking in the
family where she is employed, to be re-
eponsibe Tor the neatneBs of the house
interiorly and exteriorly, to do all the
laundry work, to keep reasonable
number" of small children in order five
afternoons in the week, to look after the
garden and ordering for the family, and
to do some plain sewing. Such a report
of the capabilities OF house girl ia
staggering. We are requested to cay, in
reply to the Connecticut girl, that
Judged by the pay and labora of her
general co-laborers in this region, per-
son who will do all these out here might
expect q salary equal to that of cabinet
minister at Washington, and to dine on

BAKERSFIELD AMUSE MENTS.
A Fight Between n Bulldog and Wild
cat.

A Fight Between a Bulldog and Wild
The Bakersfeld Californian says: The
fight of T. O. Boyles' bull terrier Spot
with wildcat, on Saturday last, was q
business affair from start to finish. The
wildcat was larger than the dog, and
when captured some weeks ago killed
one dog and cent another one to the
hospital for nearly six weeks.
A pen was built for the wildcat, which
has been fed regularly and given the
best of care. When any one approached
it's den it would spit and give feline
growls IN way which showed it to be
untamed and not at ell cowed by its sur
roundings.
On the day appointed the animals
were taken out to the brickyard, and as
the box was being broken the dog
trembled like leaf and it's owner at
first took it to be sign of fear. But
Just as soon as a sufficiently large hole
was knocked in the side OF the pen Spot
made dssh inside. The cat lay fat on
its back raking with Its paws. The dog
caught it by the throat and then turned
his body crosswise to that of the cat and
lay upon it.
Spots trembling evidently came from
eagerness for the fray, and despite the
vicious rakes of the cats sharp claws he
held his grip, shaking the cat violently
until after about five minutes of rough
and tumble fight the cat gave up the
| ghost.

ocsau Travel In view of the Fair.

While the great Worlds fair will nat
urally have a tendency to detract from
eastward travel, the falling off in the
latter will be more than compensated
by the westward rush from all parts of
Europe. The early date at which the
fair opened will prove o good thing for
the steamship companies. It gives the
usual European tourists time to see all
that is to be seen at Chicago and not
spoil their European jaunts. a canvass
