In these joyous spring days the heads of
the white Sisters or Franciscan Mission

are full Of sadness. for news has just come

Manchuria have died of the plague. When
the disease first made its appearance they
shut themselves up in the pesthouse with
their patients and they never came out
alive.
The news of their martyrdom mas pee"

the various houses of the order How long

the two Sisters who promptly volunteered

We get the children, and they are the most

In China the white Sisters" get the chill

night by their parents BOYS cannot be

valued more highly and not abandoned so

boys half of the homes.
The Sisters are expert in every kind of
handicraft, and in each country they teach
what they think the people need most
From fine gold embroidery TO scrubbing a

The order Of Franciscan Missionaries Of
Mary is only thirty-four years old yet
its work is already worldwide. The aim
lof the order is 10 help the helpless. TO
cheer the sick and TO uplift the down

enough 10 know that they cannot do these
things without improving the material

labor.

MILLER A CANDIDATE.
Will Run For Reflection as President
of Houahton VILLAGE.

The announcement, or Niiiage Presi-
dent Miller yesterday, that he would
again be a candidate for the office
which he now holds. will make the
coming village election one of the most
interesting i'm Houghton I'm years. The
contest will lie mainly between Mr..
Miller and f. ]. Bawden for the presi-
dency, but several Houghton tax-pay-
ers are seeking places on the council.
Mr.. Miller has been reticent since
the announcement Of the candidacy of
+. j. Bawden. because. as he says, he
desired to look the ground over and
see IL the announcement of another
candidate was actually an indication
that there has been dissatisfaction
with his administration.
But" said Mr.. Miller. II have been
called upon, unsolicited, by such a
large number OF the citizens and tax
payers, who urge me to stand again
that l have decided 10 acquiesce.
These taxpayers and citizens have
convinced me that they are opposed
TO the election as president of the viii
lage of any person who is president and
a salaried officer of a public service
corporation which has in the past. and
is likely to i'm the future ask favors
from the village at the expense of the
taxpayers.
Il am in favor of a Greater Hough-
tom and for that reason / still believe
that the residents of the Park addi-
tion and the residents Of the section
Immediately east of the Michigan Col
lege of Mines ought to come into the
village and bear their just share or
the burdens Of taxation for village
privileges which they enjoy equally
with the residents OF the village.
Il am opposed and | believe the
taxpayers of Houghton are opposed to
any long-te term contracts for water,
light or power, TO which the village
may be party, and as contracts of
this nature are now pending before
the village council / would like TO be
on the board in order that / could
carry out my previously expressed
stand in this matter. In passing on
such questions. as president Of the
council, / could be influenced by no
other consideration than the welfare
of the taxpayers
There are other considerations, but
/ think the above are the most impor--
tant."

following tribute TO II. Evan Williams
the noted Welsh tenor who will APP
pear at the Kerredge theater at Hans
cock, March "a:
THE dramatic sensation of the fes-
tival. with which nothing I'm past
years has been quite comparable, was
the thrilling success of Evan Williams
in this famous aria. The audience
was keenly alive to the tense little
play offered by this struggle OF n re-
tired favorite To win back place once
held. No tenor-in our time has been
a greater favorite i'm Worcester than
Evan Williams; II he had retired pre-
maturely IL was not because of decay
of his powers-somc have declared 1t
TO be matter of whet fistic experts
call bad ringside handling. At all
events, he had practically dropped
out. and Worcester has given him a
change to show that he still can sing.
"The result was the greatest DEM
orstration evoked by the whole festi-
val. Last night Mr.. Williams had a
success d'estime; he came through his
part i'm 'Hora Novisssima' creditably
but he saved his powers. Today he
had his chance. His aria with its
smooth melody, thrilling climax and
pious invocation for help, has been re-
sorted To by more than one Napoleon
c tenor after Elba-the result has
usually been disastrous; the aid in
hae forthna,,,fno AIr
Williams did not squander his vocal
gifts as i'm the old days: there was no
eXtravagant expenditure Of force. But
II was for all that beautiful singing,
with a stirring lift at the close. and in
the outburst OF applause that followed
lie had his reward-to a public per-
formance there is no thrill like that;
il must have come sweetly to the
singers ears. He had no encore
ready-like every one else he must
have been taken by surprise--and af-
ter a frenetic five minutes of search
for a pianist ana music. the audience
had reluctantly to let him go. 1t is to
be hoped that Mr.. Williams has found
the right regimen TO keep him in
concert condition for we simply have
no tenor 10 take his place. He has a
beautiful voice, as fine in quality as
ever and more than that. .he has the
true lyric gift which il is so hard to
define i'm a poet or singer. All than
can be said is that one has it and
another lacks it, and a dozen notes
serve to show its presence in singer.

Uks;la Wins Race.

Gabriel Uksila, Of Calumet, aged 13.

Time-1 minute, "A 1-5 seconds.
Despite the poor condition of the ice
very good time was made. although
from ten to twenty seconds could be
taken off this time on good ice. The
four contestants started off together
and for the first lap kept together well.
Sullivan then fell back and the three
others sped along in a bunch until
Ruclle in his eagerness TO cut the cor
ner first, skated over the flag and trip
ped i'm the water. He then failed to
overtake the other two. Uksila crossed

department are more fully understood
this number is expected TO be increas-

The records of the Newberry asylum
