WAS SHE A KINGS DAUGHTER
Legendary Spanish Girl Who Lived

in Mexican Convent.
The story of this young Spanish girl
in Mexico, who lived a mysterious life
in a convent, may he truly called
legendary history. Micaela de los
Angeles was believed to be daughter
of Philip H. of Spain, who was
brought to Mexico and immured in the
royal convent of Jesus Maria for rea-
sons best known to the royal father.
This convent was founded in 1878 by
two Spaniards. Pedro +. Denia and

that Micaela was direct descendant
of the king and that her brother, the
Archbishop Pedro de ContreraS, had

to her imprisonment in a convent in a
foreign land. The walls Of the old con

and all were ready after they had eaten
to testify to the merits of the menu.
President Murdoch introduced the
guest of the evening, DR.. E. S. Foster of
Boston. Half of those present had, been
pupils of the doctor, and he received
a hearty greeting that testified to his
popularity with the men he has taught.
He gave a long and carefully pre-
pared address on THE Anatomy of the
Eye and the Physiology of Vision"
Following the address was season
of story telling and a general good
time. Many regrets were expressed
at the early leaving of Secretary Swift,
who was obliged to return to his home
in Portland on the 1898 train, while
his companions could stay and discuss
the work of optical men in the Pine
Tree State.
