In addition to the mines already opened
recent discoveries have been made of veins
in North Mountain, on this property, and
nearer to the furnace than the openings
now worked. This is an entirely new and
unexpected discovery and makes the Long
dale property that much more valuable.
The quality of the ore will be at once
tested and further developments prose-
cuted. Should this discovery prove to be
as prolific as the mines worked it will only
De 2 question of time. when the Firm
stones will have another plant.
What change is presented in this little
Valley to what it was fifteen years ago.
Then the property was owned by the Jor-
dams. There were two small charcoal fur
naees-one where the plants are now To-
Gated and one at the mines. The material
in each was utilized to construct one char
coal plant on the present site of the fur
naees, with provisions and calculations to
convert it into coke furnace as soon as
the arrangements then put on foot could
be consummated. When the purchase was
made, it was thought by one of the Jor-
dams that the ores were nearly exhausted.
Now the demonstrated and prospective
supply seems abundant-ine
Then the ores were wagoned to the fur
mace. Now they are speeded along by
steam, over iron rails, and over two hun
dred tons day are mined and taken to the
furnace, where then not over 80 or 40 tons
could be gotten out and used, Neat dYal-

a TaIenfed Musician.

Miss Edith Yarndley, a sister OF Mr..
J. w. Yarndley, the well known mu-
stefan, is organist of the church OF the
Immaculate Conception, Portland, Or.
A new organ has just been erected III
the church, and it was dedicated on
Monday, May 18th. The Portland
'sDailv News" OF April 18th has the FOL
lowing about concert given at the
opening OF the new instrument: Inc
Church of the immaculate Conception
was filled last evening on the occasion
of the dedication Of the new organ. The
march from Warmers ''Fannhauser'
was rendered grandly by Miss Yarndley'
Although given at the moment when
MANY of the audience were entering, the
appreciation of the audience was mani
fest. The church is to be congratulated
upon securing the services OF one born
in music. and whose combination OF dell
cacv and force gives grandeur and feel
ing to the capacity OF the new church
organ. In Miss Yarndley the musical
norton of the audience recognized the
touch of talent mingled with the musical
sense of proper Interpretation. Her rem
dition of the march, as composed by
Wagner, was the theme OF much intelli-
,,ant nraise The accompani
ments by Miss Yarndley were marked
bv a degree of culture and intelligence
rare in one so young, and gave promise
to a career of which the young lady may
be proud, even in contemplation"

Profession of Religion.

At the Roman Catholic Cathedral yes
terday afternoon 4 religious ceremony,
the first OF its kind in this country, was
celebrated in the presence of an audience
which filed the building to overlooking, /
many being unable to obtain admission. /
Her Royal Highness Princess Lliuoka- +
lani, His Excellency Walter NJ. Gibson,
Minister OF Foreign Affairs, the French
Commissioner, Monsieur Henri Feer,
and ladies OF his family, were among
those present.
The ceremony consisted OF young
American lady consecrating herself by
making the usual vows of religion, pow
erty, chastity and obedience, to become
a member of the Order of the Sacred
Hearts OF Jesus and Mary. As the
young lady entered the church, dressed
in certain robes of the order, accompa-
MED by the Mother Superior and Sisters,
the choir chanted a Psalm and the Neni
Creator. The Right Reverend Bishop OF
Olba delivered sermon in English, in
which he explained the nature OF the
three VOWS of religion, and afterwards
/ addressed a few remarks to the young
lady. The Bishop blessed, with holy
water and incense, the veil, sash
and scapulaire belonging to the
order, and the novIse put them on. She
then took lighted wax candle in her
hand and pronounced the three re-
ligious vows The other hand was placed
on the gospel while she asked God to
help her in keeping the VOWS. After
prostrating herself, the black pail was
placed on her, and the choir chanted the
Miserere This was followed by the
Bishop blessing her with holy water
The Bishop and Clergy returned to the
altar and chanted the TIE Deum, during
which the newly consecrated Siste
, kissed the Mother Superior and the Sis
ters present. The service concluded
with the benediction of the blessed sac
rament. The young lady takes thu
name in religion of Sister Charlotte
The Right Rev. the Bishop of Olba wa

pursuit of the profession. Land and stock .
soon passed into the hands Of the China
men. and worse than this, in some IN
stances where a more than usual spirit OF
degradation prevails the family relations
OF the natives are also disrupted.
Referring to our social conditions es-
peciaIly. Mr.. Schmidt said that it was
mistake to suppose that Chinese and
native Hawaiians assimilated. There
were exceptional cases where Cinnamon
married native women and settled down
permanently, but " the majority remain
single, and whether working as laborers
or proprietors, all entertain the same
object, namely, 10 accumulate a fortune
or competence as soon as possible, and
return with it TO China. As common
labOrers, which Is the status Of most OF
the Chinese on the Sandwich Islands, "
Mr.. Schmidt continued, " they receive
81 per day, and board themselves upon
a few cents worth OF rice day. 1t Is
the difference in the cost OF living, far
more than in the rate Of wages, which
renders it impossible for white laborers
to compete with Chinese in Hawaii.
Except for the Portuguese they
would now have the laboring field
entirely to themselves, as the white
men who are there are almost
all employed as oversecrs or skilled
mechanics. The Portuguese laborers
! Mr.. Schmidt states, are doins
much for the Islands, a. they take kindly
TO the work to be done and the people
and those districts in which they have
been employed bear eloquent witness, II
the high state OF productiyeness to which
they have been brought, to the success
of this latest labor experiment"
The country should feel grateful t
Mr.. Schmidt for putting the exact fact
regarding the Kingdom before the Amer
can people as he has done. No doubt
during his sojourn in Sweden, Norwa
and Germany he will have frequent OF
portunities of speaking about thes
Islands, in which he resided contlr
uouslv for seventeen years, and WI

class of adventurous people to come hel

ur. Loeke.Richarason.s REGULATIONS.


At the Y. NJ G. \. Hall last evening,
Dir. ocke-RichardsOn gave his second
recital and treated his hearers to rem
dition of Sheridan's famous comedy OF
'"The Rivals" This vas the first drama
from the pen of its distinguished author,
and the one that gave him his early rep
utation. Although his later production,
''The School for Scandal is by far bis
greatest effort, "The Rivals has held
the stage along with it for over one
hundred years. 1t has been our good
fortune to have seen "The Rivals on
the stage many times, under the most
favorable auspices, with noted comedians
in the role OF "Bob Acres, and the rest
of the cast in most competent hands. 1t
is not too much to say that Mr.. Richard
sons recital of this play, without refer
ence to any book, is an arduous per
Torrance in itself. But when we are
brought face to face with the wh0lo cast,
so widely different in their exemplitica-
tons of varied character, so truthfully
delineated, our imagination almost pic
lures the stage and all its accessories
before us. The play is full OF wit and
suffers so little from the rostrum in the
hands of Mr. Richardson, that one could
wish always to witness 50 good an enter
tainment behind the footlights Mr..
Richardson will give another recital,
when full house may be expected.

TIE WRONG MEN LYNcuED.-.ishland, KY.
March l0.-The horrible murder on Christmas
Eve, 1881, when three children were murdered
here, which resulted in lynching, is recalled
again by developments about to be made which
will demonstrate that Neal, Craft and Ellis
were innocent of the crime for which they suf-
fered. For some time seven gentlemen have
been employing competent detective to sift
every theory and investigate every clew. There
work has been crowned with success, and it is
claimed that the arrest of the real criminals
will soon follow. The evidence is said to be
conclusive and will show TINT tn triple murder
was committed carly in the evening, that the
perpetrators went to the house by appointment
with one of the girls, who had previously been
on intimate terms with one of them, and that
the triple murder followed the uuintent,onal
killing of the boy for resisting the assaults OH
the girls. The arrests would have been made
before but for the excited state Of public feel
ing here on the subject. The suspected par
ties hold very respectable places.

murdered sometime Sunday night, or carly
Monday morning, and there is hardly doubt
but that the murderer is William Sells, aged
II, a son and brother of the murdered people.
This boy gave the alarm to the neighbors early
Monday morning and said the family had been
attacked by two strangers whom ho described
Suspicion was directed TO the boy from his
heartess manner, and his under clothing was
found TO be saturated with blood, and bore
evidence Of an attempt to remove the stains.
The murders were committed with n hacket
and butcher knife while the vic inns slept They
were all dreadfully maugled: Plenty of money
and portable raluabes were found in the house
and nothing had been disturbed.
