Another Ministerial Sen sation

The n. y. Herald connects the dis
appearance of Rev. Jas. LIE Baron
Johnson, who has been for some time
patient in a New York sanitarium,
undergoing treatment for nervous
prostration, simultaneously with the
departure of Miss Mary Hoffman,
from the Bellyue training hospital for
nurses, in New York city. The infer
ence is that the reverend gentleman
and the nurse departed together, and
as Mr.. johnson was, several years ago,
resident OF Tacoma, and cashier of
one of the local banks, his promi-
nence in business circles attracts very
general attention to the peculiar cir
cnmstances attending his sudden leave
OF the sanitarium.
Mr.. johnson on leaving Tacoma
went to New York and after several
years study was admitted to the
Episcopal ministry and made assist
ant rector of the Grace church. In
April of last year he was married to a
Miss Van Rensselaer,, of that city, the
wedding being celebrated with great
eclat in the church of his choice.
Miss Hoffman is wealthy in her own
right. and entered the training school
for nurses simply for gaining expert
ence in what she regarded as life
mission.
The reverend gentleman has friends
in Tacoma who disbelieve any connec-
ton with the sudden disappearance of
the parties, and predict that the mat.
ter will in time be satisfactorily ex-
planned.
