falr took place, it being an informal re-
ception and reunion given to the con-
vention by the citizens and ladies Of
Sacramento.
Secretary Lelong of the State Board
of Horticulture called the assembly to
| order and announced that E. D. Nc
Cabe, the Governors Private Secretary,
hal been selected as High Chief and
| would preside for the evening.
1t had been hoped that Governor
Budd would be present, but his duties
had detained him elsewhere. Mrs.
Budd, however. was present and greet
ed many Of her acquaintances.
Mr.. McCabe said it afforded him
much pleasure at this time to meet
those interested in promoting the inter
ests of fruit growing in the State, who
were here assembled. He had about as
much idea of his duties as High Chief
as he had of the mysterious air ship
that had been floating around in the
| sky lately.
He would simply say as representa-
tive Of the Governor, that he was sorry
he was not able to be present tonight,
and he wished that they might meet
with the same cordial reception they
| if he had been here. In his behalf he
would extend to them a cordial greet
| ing for the State and hoped that the re-
suit of their deliberations would result
in great good to it.
He then commenced his duties by
calling on Frank A. Kimball of Ma
tional City to respond to the subject,
"a Santa Ana woman ties her frosting
fn cokpC with CTnaCfrinprc
Mr.. Kimball said that he had ar
ranged with Mr.. Lelong that the latter
would respond for him, but the latter
could remember no such agreement.
r. D. Stephens was appointed Marshal
of the evening, and Mr.. Lelong carried
Mr.. Kimball chair and all, up to the
High Chiefs station, where he utterly
denied knowing anything about the
woman in question and was excused.
Ex-senator William Johnston was
given the subject: Women declare
that all men are deceivers, yet they
don't think so when the same men are
calling them angels"
He said he was surprised at being
called on and thought it was libel on
the ladies. He had very little expert
ence with angels and was not prepared
to discuss the question. The statement
was correct, as far as he knew, but he
hoped it would be a long time before
he would be in a position to judge as
to angels.
Then r. c.. Irvine was called UP to
talk on 'The men who promised to buy
their wives so many things after cleo
ton are now troubled with loss Of
memory"

see that he did not address the High
Chief. He had thought the latter his
friend. His candidate had been de-
feated and his promises had not been
kept. His memory was bad and he
felt Inundated. He had made many
bets Of nickels ard had no money left.
How could he keep his promises to his
wife when he had nothing to keep them
with?
Major Berry of Tulare was called on
to respond to Major Berry is respon-
sible for the great thirst that has re-
Gently centered in this locality by his
See how it sparkles.
He was called on, he said, to respond
to sentiment he knew very little
about and would give them instead an
illustration of how he became a farmer.
1t was the result of the war, which
swept away his property. Then he be-
came a fruit raiser and afterward
miner, and finally drifted to California
and found a wife here.
Edward f. Cooper was called on to
answer to "a Pennsylvania man has
invented a knife that will cut steel,
Los Angeles boarding house landladies
have at last something to slice bread
with besides an AK
Mr.. Cooper denied being a Pennsyl-
Vania man, and said the High Chief
would have to call on some one else.
What are they giving preachers low
ing cups for?" was given for Rev. A. c.
Herr1ck to speak to, and he responded
with few we'll chosen remarks
w hat we need is more currency of
money and less of gossip was the nut
given to ex-senator Filcher to crack
He said we did rot need any money
as we had Mckinley. We do need some
thing to exchange We need credit, and
II we cannot get it we need confidence
That is what the American people want
most, and he had confidence that his
audience would feel better If he quit
talking.
| Mr.. McCabe said the audience would
now take recess to exchange the con-
| fidences of which Mr.. Filcher spoke
A pleasant reunion followed, introduce
tons being given and those who wished

those present, with the compliments of
