SHE IS A LEPER.
A sad Case Discovered In Oakland,
California.

OAKLAND, Cal, May 24.-Health Officer
Dunn of this city is greatly excited over a
genuine case of leprosy that he has discov-
cred. He has been investigating the case
for some time, and last night in company
with DR.. Woolsey, member of the board
of health, he made an examination of the
patient. The physicians came to the con
clusion that their patient is a leper. The
victim is Mrs. August Frates, aged II years
who lives with her husband at 1865 Third
street.
Six months ago Mr.. Frates and his wife
came to Oakland from Honolulu. Since
that time the husband has met with very
poor success in securing work, and in con
sequence the family has been in destitute
circumstances. They were married in Hon
olulu eleven months ago and at the time
the child-bride was sick Two months ago
Mrs. Frates gave birth to a child. The
little one is puny and has been very sickly.
A few days since Mrs. Frates became verv
i'll and DR.. Dunn was called u attend her.
He at once suspected that she was a leper
and told her that she must remain in the
house until he could make arrangements
for her case. She Obeyed orders, and last
night the physician made his final examin-
alton and pronounced it a case of leprosv.
The physician found that the woman
was covered with large spots, such as are
found on lepers. Her hands are commence
ing to waste away and her eyes bulge out,
while her face is covered with large brown
spots. She was a pitiabe sight when the
doctors visited the house. DIR. Dunn is in
a quandary what to do with the child wife
and her babe. There is no pesthouse in
Oakland, so he cannot order the woman
from her home.

WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

The Salvation Army intends to show at
the Exposition in a complete manner its
whole scheme of moral and social reform.
A relief map showing San Francisco,
San MateO, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz
counties, CAL, is being prepared at an ex-
pense Of $4,000 for exhibition at the Fair.
Italy has finally decided to take part
officially in the Exposition, and has en-
trusted the management of participation
to the various chambers of commerce in
the principal Italian cities. The govern
ment will encourage an extensive exhibit
tion of Italian products and will transport
all exhibits to New York in one Of its war
ships.
Helena, Montana, will send to the Ex-
position meteor, discovered near that
city. 1t is composed of nickel and mac
netlc iron, and is in two pieces of ninety
and seventy pounds respectively. 1t is re-
ported that when found these pieces were
in hole in the ground large enough to
contain house, from which fact it is in
ferred that the meteor exploded when it
struck the earth.
A movement is on foot in New York to
induce the legislature to donate that states
building at the worlds fair to the Chicago
organization known as the Sons of New
York, which is composed of ChicagOans
born in the Empire state. A wealthy citi-
zen OF the worlds Fair city III is reported,
has offered, if that should be done, to do
nate a site on Michigan avenue, to which
the building may be removed after the fair
and where it would be used as club house
The Brazilian minister at Washington
has notified Director General Davis that
the republic of Brazil will send a special
commissioner to Chicago to arrange the
preliminaries for its exhibit at the worlds
fair. This special commissioner will, it is
expected, be in Chicago within two or
three weeks. Brazil applies for nearly
$4,000 square feet of space divided among
the department buildings of the exposi-
ton, this being set aside from the space
that country takes for the erection of the
pavilion for official headquarters. The
Brazilian commission at home is actively
developing an exhibit from that country,
among the leading features of which will
be groups Of cinchona, coffee trees in bear
ing, cochineal, cactus, mammoth palms,
ferns, bamboos, ETC., and models Of fruit.
From Holland an offer has been made to
the Holland Society of New Y ork and the
st. Nicholas Society of Brooklyn to con-
struct and present to them an exact re-
production of the Half Moon, the ship in
which Henry Hudson discovered and ex-
plOred the river which bears his name
The societies named have accepted the
offer and are planning to fit up the ship as
a club house and take it to Chicago both to
be exhited and to be occupied by their
members during the Exposition.

Professor Henderson Will COM
mence His ArduOus Labor.


Professor f. f. Henderson left for the
east of the mountain country today to
prosecute his work in the collection of the
flora of the state for the Columbian Expo
sition. Professor Henderson, who is ac-
knowledged to be one of the best botanists
on the Pacific coast, will make scientific
collection of the states flora, giving special
attention to the most useful trees. A num-
Der of ladies' clubs throughout the state
have interested themselves in the collection
of flora, and it is desired to have them work
on a common plan. Owing to the fact that
time is limited and Professor Henderson
will find it necessary to visit so many parts
Of the state, he asks them to assist him to
the extent of their ability. He requests all
ladies to collect all fora in their neighbor-
hood, and he will either come and see them
or send for specimens and name them.
Time can be saved by sending him dupli-
cate specimens. After naming them he
will keep one and return the others. Local
can be of valuable service in this
way.
"The plants must be well drisd, +" said
Professor Henderson, cor they will be
good for nothing. The plant should be
placed between sheets of clean, unsized pa
per and then these sheets should not be re-
moved until the plant is dried. Place the
plant, thus protected, between LAYERS of
good blotJing paper and submit to pressure,
changing the blOtters twice day. If it is
not convenient to get blotting paper,
good substitute can be made by sewing to-
gether layers of old newspapers cut 1196 by
1879 inches. Unsized wrapping paper is
the best for the first protecting sheets, but
If 1t is not obtainable, some uninked news
paper will do, but to this should be added
sheets of common butchers paper.
If any of the ladies will collect in this
way so as to insure uniformity of speci-
mems and fine appearance l should be
pleased to name any specimens I can for
them for duplicate perfect specimen and
will give them the honor of its collec-
ton in my herbarium, the or honor of its
if it be new, and send it on to the
authorities to be named. If they wished
they could save me much collecting of the
mere easily obtained specimens in this way,
and save my time for the more distant and
flora"
Professor Henderson requests all papers
having an interest in this matter to pre- |
sent it to their readers.

A SURPRISE.
Cleveland Claims to BE a Resident
of New Jersey


WASHINGTON, May 24.-It is reported
here that genuine surprise is in store for
the opponents of Cleveland at the Chicago
convention, and that novel and daring
scheme is under consideration by which
the hostility of the New York delegation
to the nomination of the ex-president may
be neutralized. A gentleman who is on
the inside Of the Cleveland councils said
today:
"The opponents of Grover Cleveland,
who nave been counting a great deal on
the opposition which the Hill delegation
could make at Chicago to Cleveland as a
candidate from New York, will probably
be surprised to know that Cleveland will
not pretend at the Chicago convention to
be candidate from New York
1.-THE facts seems to have been overlooked
by the politicians, curiously enough. that
Grover Cleveland now actually claims
residence in New Jersey, and the proba-
bilitY is that he has taken the proper steps
to become legal resident there At all
events should he carry the New Jersey
convention this week, as his friends eX-
pect he will, his name will be presented at
the Chicago convention as a candidate
from the state of New Jersey. This will
give the anti-Cleveland movement in New
York, the friends of Cleveland think, diff

Edwin Forrest,

New York Recorder: Perhaps of no
man who ever appeared behind the foot
lights are there more stories told than of
Forrest. His eccentricity, his furious tenn
per, his strange melancholy, live and will
live in tradition for many years yet. He
must have been one of the most uncom-
Portable men to be with, especially in sub
ordinate capacity. Imperious to degree,
he forced all who acted with him into the
position of slaves Of his will. Yet such
was the wonderful genius of the man that
even those who suffered most remem bered
only the hints and points given them in
the midst of the oaths, the unpleasant
names so freely hurled, and the cutting
sarcasm, as windows through which they
we're able to see the beauty Of their art.

PROF. FOLLANsBEE's VISIT.
He Makes a Flying Trip to OIym-
pia and LenVes.


Pta and Leaves.
Professor L. E. Follansbee, who so mys-
teriously disappeared some months ago,
again visited Olympia under the cover Of
Sunday night, and after vain efforts to
bring about the evident object of his visit,
is supposed to have left as mysteriously as
he appeared. 1t was about IL 80 on Sun
day night when he entered the Carlton
house and secured a room. Where he came
from or how, nobody knows. Previously,
however, he had visited the home of Mrs.
FOllansbee, and left note for his daughter,
requesting her to visit him at the Carlton
house. This she declined to do. Much of
yesterday he spent in his room writing, and
in the evening made another attempt to
see his daughter. He stopped at the fence
and saw his daughter, who was sitting on
the lawn, but not receiving as cordial
reception as he anticipated, he left. On
returning to the hotel he paid bis bill and
left.
Professor Follansbee said that when he
left here last summer he did not intend to
remain away, and that the success Of his
visit to Olympia would have much to do
with his future residence. Since his de-
parture he has lectured in eighteen differ
ent states on educational topics.

grafton.
SPOKANE, May 24.-Fire broke out from
the roof of the Spokane Mill company's
building on the water front this afternoon,
and number of men leaped from the top
story of the building to escape horrible
death, as the employees had no warning
whatever of the approaching catastrophe
The fire caught in the sawmill west of the
sash and blind factory and spread to the
mill building before the men could escape.
The flames quickly spread to the Echo
mills, which at 4 AS p m. became mass of
flames, and soon became total loss. The
G. & G. mills afterward caught, although
at 80 the building was only smoking and
not in flames. They were saved by the
company's own hose.
The Echo mills, seven-story Touring
establishment, and the following buildings,
were destroyed:
The Spokane laundry, the oatmeal mills
and the National ironworks.
Three steamers were on hand, one at the
corner of Front and Post, another at Front
and Mill and another at Howard and Front
streets, playing on the flames.
The scene about the fire was terrible.
men, women and children crying, shouting
and weeping. They pressed close as thev
dared to the fearful heat, which blindad
their eyes and singed their hair.
The loss of the Spokane Mill company is
estimated by A. M. Cannon, the president,
at 100000; no insurance. The loss on the
Echo mill is $4,000; insured for S22, 900 in
the Millers' Mutual of Minneapolis. The
loss on the oatmeal mill is $40 900; insured
for S17, 900 in the Caledonian, Alliance Fire
association, Royal Exchange and two other
companies. The loss ON the shingle mill,
$1,000; insurance 81, 500. The loss on the
Spokane Steam Laundry and Carpet
Cleaning house, 81 900; fully insured. The
loss on four small frame houses is about
$1,000.
The total loss is estimated at $25O.O
and the insurance is less than $4,000.
The fire department played upon the
smOuldering ruins of yesterdays fire all
night long, and this morning the work of
searching for the bodies of the victims be-
gan. 1t is now known that four men per-
ished in the fire and it is feared that others
lost their lives. The missing men are
Adolph Schultz, L. II. Cornwall, Richard
Butcher and a man named Cunningham.
The charred remains of the first-named
three we're taken out of the remains of the
Spokane mill this morning, and the search
is being continued for others tits thought
that one or two men were drowned in the
river. The fire was seen at long distances
in the surrounding country. The fire origi-
mated from a hot journal in the Spokane
Mill companp's property.

LOOKS LIKE BLAINE.
Republicans Bent on Nominating
the PIumed Knight.

The Illinois Delegation, 1t is Be
Iieved, Will DisOBey ITS Instruc-
tiOns and Vote for Him-Other
States TO Fall In Line.
New YORK, May A.-Secretary James G.
Blaine arrived at the Fifth Avenue hotel
last evening from Washington city, ac-
companied by Mrs. Blaine. To group Of
reporters the secretary stated that the
trip was of purely private character. He
smiled when interrogated in regard to his
health, and announced that in that re-
spect he was perfectly satisfied, and his
! looks did not belle his words. In the mat
ter Of politics the secretary Of state was
silent. He would neither deny nor af-
firm his intention Of accepting the nomi-
nation ifit were offered him.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-There are few
men in Washington City today who doubt
that Secretary Blaine will be the repubH-
can candidate for president in this cam
paign. Every day that rolls by brings the
man from Maine nearer to the nomination.
The tide that has set in for him during the
last week is certain to overcome the entire
strength OF the HarrlsOnites and other am
bilious men who would like the nomina-
tion Reports come to Washington City
from every section of the country showing
that nearly every southern state will
probably fall into line for Blaine on the
first ballot. 1t is stated on excellent
authority that the Illinois delegation will
disregard its instructions for Harrison and
vote almost solidly for Blaine. George F.
Swift, of Chicago, one of the delegates at
Jorge, is authority for the statement.
Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota
says that the South Dakota delegation,
which was pledged to Harrison, will proba-
bly, lind 1t wise to vote for Blaine from the
start to finish. The senator says that had
the southern republicans any idea that
Blaine would accept the nomination no
Harrison instructions would have been
adopted at the state convention.
Jesse M. Cove, of Boston, one of the
delegates-at-large to the Minneapolis con-
vention from Massachusetts,, stated in this
city today that he had a talk with Secre-
tary Blaine, and he (Gove) had no doubt
but that he would accept the nomination
If rendered him. He says that eighteen
out of the thirty delegates in Massachu-
setts will vote for Blaine and no other can
didate.
Representative Boutelle, of Maine, who
is supposed to be closer to Blaine than any
other republican in the country, is quoted
as saying today that he had no further
doubts regarding Blaine's acceptance of
the nomination.

TRACKED by BLOODHOUNDs.
murderexs and Robbers Being
TraiIed.


JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May A.-It is now
very probable that the murderers who at
tempted to rob the express car on the
Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West rail
road near Munroe junction yesterday
morning will be apprehended. Incited by
the cold. bloodedness of the outrage and by
the reward offered by Governor Flemming,
most diligent search is being made for the
desperadOes, and the numerous threats of
lynching uttered on every side show how
intense the feeling is against the murderers
of Saunders. The sheriff's posse has caught
six suspects, but it is not known whether
there is any evidence against them. Two
others are being trailed by bloodhounds,
and it is expected that they will run them
down before morning. Citizens in the
neighborhOod are wrought up to the
highest pitch at the atrocity of the outrage,
and should the murderers be apprehended
1t is probable that they will meet with sum-
mary justice before they can be lodged in
iail,

Was it Suicide.

ABERDEEN, May 24.-An empty boat was
found floating down the Wishkah river this
morning. The boat contained a woman's
hat, cloak and one oar 1t was learned
that Ella Beardsly, of Aberdeen, aged 90
had been rowing on the river and was miss
ing. Two theories are expressed. Some
think it case Of suicide, and others that
the young lady went ashore to gather flow
ers and that the tide carried the boat
away. Miss Beardsly came from Portland
with her affianced, DR.. Itel, to visit her
narhnta
