n.y. Mil \, nj, Powell.

A Inl.- Mitt Ntllit Powell
daughter Of Prof Powell, at one tim,
president Of the Albany college, and ais,
state superintendent OF Oregon, has beer
having a romantic career since leRvinJ
this city In 1882. In 1883, Prof Powell
then being president OF the Seattle col
lege, Miss Powell, who had already OBJ
tained good reputation IN Albany FOL
elocutionarS attainments, delivered AZ
address OF welcome TO the famous Vii
lard party. Subsequent events In the
young lady's career form a fitting seque
to this meeting with Mr. Willard and hii
family. Shortly after the return OF the
party to the east, Proi Powell died, and
Mrs Powell with her son and two
daughters went to New York city to re-
side. Some months after this Mrs vii
lard wrote 10 q reporter OF the Post-ln'
telligencer, calling attention to the
young lady who mad delivered the speech
OF welcome, and asked for her name and
address. At that time the paper was
being sent both TO the home OF Henry
Willard, In New York, and also 10 that
OF Mrs Powell. Reference TO the sub
scription list disclosed the fact that the
two families were living in the metrotso-
lis within two blocks OF each other. The
reporter wrote Mrs Willard giving her
the desired information. She at once
sought the young girl and took her un-
der her chaperonage. A strong friend
ship sprang up between Miss Powell and
Miss Willard, and together they pursued
their studies in music and German.
About three years ago Miss Powell re-
turned 10 the Pacific coast, and shortly
afterward became the wife OF Mr. Dram
heller, a prominent banker OF Spokane
Falls. Her sister is now the wife OF DIR
Il q Johnson, OF that city. Miss Powell
is now about 2S years OF age.
