The "Useful" Girl

The "usefula girl is not noticeable in
any way. Everybody makes use of
her and everybody likes her. She
has no enemies and no lovers. Women
like her gerry much and men speak
highly OF her when she Is brought to
their attention in some way; but they
eve think about her voluntarily.
They appreciate her highly when she
helps them out of a corner and thank
her cordially, and then forget her I'M
til they need her again. She is not
apt to marry, for men do not care for
useful girls before marriage. She can
sew. she can get dinner If need be,
amuse children. assist in getting up
entertainments for other people to
participate in, and she is an excellent
nurse and reads aloud we'll and sings
a little-enough to rock a child asleep
or to help out a chorus. She is like
the green Everlasting" or old-fash-
ioned live forever plant-scentIess
and not beautiful, yet indispensable

that he did not think it likely that the
matter of the election of delegates to the

before tomorrow, unless a night session
be agreed upon. He expected that con-
siderable time will be consumed in the
reports of committees and contests over

.Deeming Rlorrapby.

SAN Francisco, May 4.-Advices from
Australia say that much interest is man
ifested in the biography ;Deemfng is
writing, upon which he has spent much
of his time since he was inn prieoned. It
is believed that the mans Overwhelming
vanity will impel him TO confess in this
work all the crimes he ever committed.
BY appealing to the judicial committee
of the priyy council Deeming may
succeed in putting off the execution for
a time. but his haste to complete the
book shows he has little, if any. hope of
escaping hanging. Early this morning
he resumed writing ON the biography,
which he says he will bequeath to Miss
Rounbevell, the young lady to whom he
was engaged at the time of his arrest.
He expressed hope that the profits which
she may derive from it's publication will,
in some degree, compensate her for the
wrong and annoyance which he has been
the means of inficting on her.

had just been passed upon him and re-
turned to jail, his clothing was taken
from him and he was compelled to don
the attire of eonvicts. He was then
placed in .he condemned cell, with heavy
irons locked upon his wrists to prevent
him from committing suicide. There is
scarcely q doubt that he would kill him.
self if the opportunity offered. A close
watch must be kept upon him that he
does not cheat the gallows. He did not
appear at all cast down by his fate, and,
after a short conversation with the
wardens detailed to watch him, threw
himself upon the pallet in the cell and
slept calmly until morning.

to the state convention tomorrow are
arriving in large numbers. Fifer's nom-

over the authorship. Gen. PaEey, the
present incumbent is antagonized by

generally conceded that German Luth-

Rinaker seems to have formed combi-

called upon the leading statesmen to
learn their opinions as to the eight

Mr.. Balfour declined to receive the dep

sent it word in writing that he believed
the eight-hour system had not been suf-
ficiently considered by those most af-
feeted by it. The deputation, subse-
quently discussing Gladstone's reply.
showed considerable ill-feelin at it. A
motion was made that it bs placed in

however, pointed out that it was evident
that Gladstone's mind was still open,
and after furter angry debate, the sub
ject was dropped.

anxiety has been caused in Catholic cir

to fill his confirmation engagements.
On Sunday his grace was announced to
administer the sacrament of confirma-
ton to the children, of Holy Trinity
parish in North st. Louis. Full prepa-
ratiens had been made for the event,
but word was received from the arch
bishop Sunday morning that he would
be unable to come, There was more
sorrow and anxiety expressed than dis
appointment, as the event seemed to in
dicate that the archbishop had reached
that period of advanced life when. he
would no longer be able to fulfil the ar
duous duties he had imposed on himself
The archbishop seems never to have
rallied completely from the attack of
feebleness which seized him shortly

SAN Francisco, May 3.-Honolulu adj
vices by the steamer Australia, which
arrived at noon today, state that a
severe earthquake shock was felt on the
island of Maui on April 22d. It caused
no damage. Political affairs have been
very quiet during the month, not the
slightest ripple being observed. The
decision OF the supreme court that the
election of the mobiles on Oahu island
wac valid was expected to cause some
dissatisfaction in the ranks of the Wilcox
party, but the decision of the court was
not altogether unexpected, and that
party accepted the situation. Queen
LiliuOka1ani issued a proclamation April
s1lth, convening the Hawaiian legisla-
ture in regular session at Honolulu,
May 2Sth. The legislature will be
opened by the queen in person. After
the election of president and other Off
GERS, adjournment will be had for one
week, as there will not be much business
presented before the middle of June.
John s. Walker, Henry P. Baldwin, and
William o. Smith are mentioned as con-
testants for the honor of presiding over
the session, Gen. A. S. Hartwell,
leading lawyer here, who has
been mentioned in connection with the
movement, has published card admit
ting his sentiments. but denying any
treasonable intent, believing in legal
means only for forwarding the move
ment. Godfrey Brown, ex-minister of
finance for Hawaii. returned here from
England on April sth, and it was ru-
mored that he was the representative of
a large amount of English capital,
which is to be used in starting bank

Missing From the city.

PORTLAND, May 4.-E. L. Anderson,
captain of the battery Of the first regi-
ment, and transportation clerk of the
Ainslie Lumber company, is missing
from the city and his absence is mourned
for by the many sorrowing friends of the
gay captain to the extent OF several
hundred dollars worth. It is the same
old story of misplaced confidence. He
sfled the pace that kills., and to buoy
up his sinking fortunes, made several
drafts upon the funds Of his trusting
friends and the treasury of the battery,
which he failed to restore on his depaft-
ure for other climes,s and his where
abonts are unknown. The captain is
accompanied by his wife. Anderson
was very popular man among his asso-
ciates, who deeply regret that he has
taken this unfortunate step. Had he
only placed the matter before his friends
there is little doubt but what they would
have helped him over the difficulty.

Strained Relations in the Family Ma
Prevent a Funeral Fitting the
Millionaire Aster.

New XoRK, May 3.-When. Mrs. Will
lam Astor comes to this country with
the body of her husband, she will be ac-
.companied by her daughter, Mrs. j.
Coleman Drayton and Mrs. Orme Will
son. Society has been wondering what
Mrs. Astor would do to force such social
recognition of Mrs. Drayton as is COM
patible with mourning, and yet enough
to drive away the clouds that still lin,
ger over the Draytons' domestic affairs.
1t has been expected that Mrs. Astor
and her daughter will remain here for
considerable part of the mourning sea-
son, but she planned to escape all un-
certanties by returning immediately to
Paris. Since Mrs. Astor left the city,
the house on Fifth avenue and Thirty
fourth street has been closed, except
that three caretakers have remained
there. Preparations were in progress to
increase the retinue of servants to the
usual number until cable message
from Mrs Astor put a stop to the work.
Not even for the two weeks which Mrs.
Astor and Mrs. Drayton expect to spend
here will the number of servants be en-
.larged, SO it is evident that the strictest
family seclusion will be maintained.
Mrs. Willing, of Philadelphia, mother
of Mrs. John Jacob Astor, will accom-
pany the party on its return to Paris.
This exceptional privacy, which is to be
observed, it is said, is to be brought
about by Mrs. Drayton's presence in the
city. Extraordinary efforts will be
made to prevent any sort of scene
when the husband and wife meet. Mr..
Drayton has not called at the home of
his brother-in-law, John Jacob Astor,
since his return and their relations are
strained. Mr.. Drayton, it is expected,
will attend the funeral ..-.--...-.

RECOVERED FROM THE DEEP.

An anchor about four feet long
was hauled up on the bar on We'd
nesday night by the tug Eleu while
rendering assistance to the dredge.
The anchor got entangled in the
chain of the tug and in being hauled
up the chain snapped. Later, how
ever, the relic was recovered Ii was
cemented with coral rock and only
in a few places could iron be seen.
The anchor, must have lain there over
forty years. The most wonderful
part is the discovery of u tuft OF
tarred rope still adhering to hole
in the anchor.
