Mr. J. W. Talbot, who for several years had charge of the steward's de partment on the Dalles City, has re signed, to accept a similar appointment on the Ocean Wave, a popular seaside boat. Mr. Talbot made many friends among the traveling public, who are loth to see him leave the route, but who wish him success in his new position. Tbe scene at the departure of the Dalles City this morning was quite ani mated. A large number of Sunday school delegates were on board and many of their friends were at the dock to bid them good-bye. Besides, the steamer carried a large load of freight, there be ing one shipment of 155 bales of wool, beside a good-sized miscellaneous cargo. Water Commissioners' Meeting.

This was followed by a normal lesson, with blackboard illustration, entitled "Marks of a Good School," by J. K. Groom. This was the only normal lesson of the session, and was right along tbe line of the practical work il lustrated by the model Sunday school of the morning. Rev. B. J. Kelly followed with a most practical talk on "After the Lesson and Between Sundays What?" and "The Preparation of tbe Lesson," by A. N. Barnard, was of the same line of thought. "Gathering Up the Fragments," by Wm. WadLams, ended the afternoon session. Mr. Wadbams declared that he could not serve as president, and with thanks resigned. Rev. C. C.
