led her, avoiding chairs and other
distractions, to any object in the
room she might think about. After
that he left the room while one of
the guests wrote the names of our

of paper. The slips were put into
an envelope and sealed. Mr.. Bis

RELIEF FOR FATHER DAMIEN.

Portland, April 13.-Rev. Father
l.. L. Conrardy has been relieved as
Indian missionary at Uma.illa Re-
servation, and having received per-
mission from Archbishop Gross, will
leave on Sunday to go to the relief
of Father Damien, apostle of the
lepers' island of Molokai, Sandwich
Islands. Father Damien has con-
tracted leprosy, and writes that the
disease has settled on his hands,
and soon there will be no one to
break the bread of life to the poor
crcatures'under his charge. Father
Conrardy is a countryman of Father
Damien, a Belgian. He was for
several years in the missions of
Pondicherry, India, when his health
failed, and being advised to seek a
temperate climate he chose TO cast
his lot among the Indians of Oregon.
He was offered fine parish in the
Argentine Republic, but it did not
fill his ideal of self-sacri6ce. In
order to hasten to the relief of
Father Damien, Father Conrardy
gives up the farewell visit he con-
templated paying to his family in
Europe. rs. f. Bulletin.

THE WIDOW AND HER SISTER.

The following is from the San
Francisco "Daily Examiner" of
April 10, 1885,
In recent trip from the Sand
witch Islands the bark c. ID. Bryant
brought among her passengers Miss
Alice Caldwell, who hailed from
Honolulu.
That was the name ON her ticket
and the same that appeared on the
passenger list which was left at the
Merchants Exchange.
The lady was pretty, vivacious
and attractive, contributing largely
to the enjoyment of the whole ships
company. Captain Lee was glad 10
have such passenger to enliven
the spirits of those on board, many
of whom had known her during her
residence in Kalakaua's domain.
They were greatly surprised, how
ever, that she called herself Miss
Caldwell when she had been known
by them before as Miss Alice Waite.
AS soon as the vessel dropped an
chor IN the stream, ana long before
docking, she landed and was lost
from public view in the midst of the
city, where she remained until a few
days ago, and then took her leave
for Sacramento, where she now is.
Miss Caldwell was none other
than the sister of Miss Howard st.
Clair, who recovered judgment for
$4,000 in breach-of-promise suit
that she brought against Prime
Minister Gibson of the Sandwich
Islands. In that cause Miss Cald-
we'll or Waite played a prominent
part and aided her sister much by
her influence and exertions.
The history of the two sisters in
this city was quite eventful and
came to the knowledge of the SEX
aminer" through an ordinary small
advertisement. AT the time-last

was perched at his desk, having
strolled in during the leisure of the
forenoon to refresh his mind by
practice on his banjo.
at sight of this apparition he has
tily removed his hat and laid his
pipe and instrument upon the table.
A vibrating leg was also lifted from
the arm of his chair, and he rose to
his feet.
"Beg pardon, Miss. What can |
do for you?'
II am to occupy this desk" Miss
Julia responded, with flush Mr..
Russell has engaged me. Are you
one of the force?"
The astonishment depicted upon
the Locals countenance it would be
difficult to describe.
"Ah, indeed!n he murmured-he
was gallant young fellow very
happy, I'm sure. I'm the city edi-
tor; here's my card. | hope you'll
be comfortable here; sorry there isn't
a separate room for sesf Do vou
mind smoking2'
Julia replied that she supposed
she could put up with it if it was es-
sential to the evolution of a daily
| Journal Whereupon the Local ex-
cused himself with some perturba-
ton, and fled with pipe and banjo to
the composing-room. There he held
an animated conference with the
foreman. The slide which, for pur-
pose of copy" gave access to the
sanctum was soon cautiously moved,
while several pairs of eyes i'll success
sion took note of the new member
of the corps.
1t was the general conviction in
the composing-room that the chief
must be cracked and the Local
gave vent to his agony by executing
"Poor Old Joe" with great vehe-
mence on his banjo.
During the next few days the sane
tum was the scene of various anus
ing episodes. One by one, on differ

office came tearing in without the
formality of knocking, bursting full
of some piece of news, which they
began to bawl out before getting
fairly inside. The CONSERVATION
with which these visitors pulled up,
and lapsed into silence, occasioned
many mirthful twitch at the edito-
rial moustache, and even gave rise
to suspicious shaking of the trim
shoulders at the side table.
After a few of these incidents, a
solemn hush fell upon the sanctum
in the working hours of the afternoon.
The night editor, who now came in
to do an hours paragraph work,
which proved to be rather out of
Julia's line, quietly transferred his
quarters to the composing-room,

Miss Finch's Editorial Experiment.

Miss Finch's Editorial Experiment.
Eleven O'Clock Of a summer fore
noon in the sanctum of Sandwich
Morning Bugle. The chief was
seated at his table, tugeing at his
moustachc, and ever and anon lam
guidly marking a paragraph IN the
newspaper which lay open before
him.
He was cleaning from the issue of
that morning for the weekly edition
the Clarion, with ",he largest cir
culation in the States
It was his habit to Wait the office
in the forenoon for this purpose; also
TO take note Of the delinquoncies of
the foreman and the night editor; to
look over the morning mail and to
lav out the programme of the day.
It was evident, however, that on
this occasion something was on the
editors mind aside from the quality
and availability of the paragraphs he
wastmarking And, in fact, tho very
day before. his most useful assistant
had left him to accept a position, =
IA the personal item column an
nounced, on the Boston Highhyer.
This change had been anticipated
and was not regretted, for it was the
pride of the chief to train up prom
ising young Journalists to an excel
lence which brought them into de
nand and then wish them God-speed
to more conspicuous and lucrative
posts. Yet the vacancy was to be
filled, and perhaps this considcra-
ton accounted for the vigorous pulls
mt the chiefs moustache, the occa-
sional dabs of the blue pencil, and the
nervous slaps at vagrant water-bugs.
A firm. but gentle tapping at the
sanctum door.
Come in, cried the chief, with
out looking up.
4 young lady briskly entered the
room Petite she was, with small
regular features, inquisitive gray
ewes. and cheeks hanging out rosy
signals Of agitation. A fitting
black velvet basque set off a trim
and shapely figure; a plain black
skirt and neglige straw hat complet-
ing the costume. She might have
been twenty-five, though her fresh
face aud slender figure gave her a
more youthful appearance.
Good morning, Mr.. Russell, " she
said, advancing with resolute air to
the editors table.
"Ah, good-morning," echoed the
chief, raising his eyes enquiringly.
