Transferred to New Field.

Sister Euphrasia, the sister superior Of
ST. Joseph's Orphan Asylum. on II street
northwest between 9th and 10th streets. has
been transferred to another field. Sister
Euphrasia is one Of the best known of her
sisterhood in this section of the United
States. It Is said and her activities in the
Sisters of the Holy Cross have extended
over half century. She was one Of the
early superiors of the asylum on H street,
and that the orphans have such a complete
and well-kept institution is due, 1t is
claimed mainly to her exceptional execu-
tive ability.
Thirty-two years ago Sister Euphrasia
came to Washington and assumed the d.
rection of ST. Joseph's Orphan Asylum. at
which time the building was badly in need
Of repairs and refurbishing. With com
mendable zeal she set to her task, and how
well she and the assisting sisters of the
household succeeded score or more of rep
resentative citizens throughout the United
States give testimony.
Depending entirely on charity, 1t was but
natural that the conduct of such large
institution was not without its many trials
and cares, and with advancing years they
have not rested lightly on Sister Euphra-
sia's shoulders. Her health of late has
not been of the best. and 1t was therefore
decided by the mother superior OF the order
to appoint her to missions where the eli
mate and surroundings may tend to
improve and conserve the sisters health.
There have been many letters received at
the asylum, 1t Ia stated, expressing hearty
Sister Euphrasia and wishing her much
happiness In her new field.
Sister John BerChmans has been appoint
ed as the new head Of the asylum.

ONE YEAR LESS A DAY.
Penalty of Imprisonment Imposed on
Albert johnson.

Albert Johnson.
One year less day in jail was the sem
tence which was imposed on Albert John
son, alias Burke, in the Police Court this
morning after he was found guilty on five
charges of larceny. He was committed to
the institution named this afternoon, after
1t was learned from the health office that
1t was safe to commit prisoners to that in
stitution.
Precinct Detective Reinhardt of the
fourth precinct station effected the arrest
of Johnson only after a quiet hunt for the
man for several days. Numerous reports
had been made to the police that some one
had entered buildings that We're under con-
struction throughout the city. and while
the carpenters were engaged in their work
carried away their coats.
Several days ago some tickets were taken
from the Office of the Randall steam boat
line, and the work was similar to that
reported by the carpenters a watch was
kept for the tickets. Through that means
the sleuth OF the fourth precinct learned
the identity of the man wanted and he ar
rested Johnson soon after.
He was arraigned on five charges and he
pleaded guilty to each Of them. He was
charged with taking a coat from Harry
Woodward from 9th and l streets south
west. a set of plans and a coat valued at 81
from a house at Goth street and Florida
avenue from John r. Hotel, two pairs of
shoes from Thomas Steele from 7th and
streets southwest, and eight tickets from
the Randall Steamboat Company. In the
case Of the set of plans Judge Mills held
that the evidence was not SO conclusive az
in the other charges and the personal bonds
of the defendant were taken in that case.
Johnson stated to the court that he had
lived in Washington most of his life

were taken to the station house, where
they gave their names as Jesse Morris and
Nicholas Owens.
