There were pink napkins and pink cake too, besides cake rabbits, ducks and fiah. Lemonade was served in tiny glasses, and last, but not least, icecream.

Lena Hansen, who left Tbe Dalles for the hospital in Portland several weeks ago, has juxt finished a remarkable sleep ot thirty-six days. In that time she has become very pale and tbin, and fears were entertuined that she would die while in that comatose state. An Ore gouian reporter has visited her, and as certained many interesting facts. The extraordinary feature about Miss Hansen's case is that she is not in a state of coma, a not uncommon condi tion, but that she is actually sleeping just as any person sleeps, who is reading this, only she does not awaken. And, during her thirty-eix days' nap she has so wasted awav as to be little more than skin and bones. Miss Hansen is a young lady 20 years old, a native of Denmark. For the last two and a half yearn she has been living at The Dalles, and to March 24th she earned a livelihood by doing household work for families of that vicinity. About 3 o'clock on the afternoon of March 25ih Miss Hantoji was brought to the Good Samaritan hospital. When Mrs. Wakeman, the superintendent of the hospital, came into the receiving room ehe found Miss Hansen, accom- Unmarried Still Ahead.

Mrs. Wilson informed the superintendent that Miss Hauseu needed hospital treatment, and, as she had very little money, Secretary Walpole, of the city board of charities, wished to have her cared for dnring one week at the city's expense. Miss Eb berson, who had brought the girl down from The Dalles, then explained that Miss Hansen was suffering from a pecul lar ailment, which affected tier so that ehe was always falling asleep. This strange craving had come over her only in the last month, said Miss Ebbersen, during which time it bad become almost impossible to keep her awake. The Dalles family in which she did house work managed to get her up sometimes at noon, but oftener not until afternoon. And yet she went t,o bed early in tbe evening. "Dr. bhacklelord of TLe Dalles treated her for it. She, however, would not take his medicine, and so, after a short white, he said that she had better go. to a hospital in Portland. That is how I came to bring ber down." After working with her in various ways the Portland doctors succeeeded in awaking her, but she yet lies in a stupor with eyes wide open and seldom re sponds to a quest ion. From yesterday's Oregonian additional particulars are learned concerning Miss Hansen. She was moved Saturday morning in the hospital ambulance to the Portland hospital at Sunnyside. The cold water baths prescribed by Dr. Saylor, so far as he was able to note, have bad a wonderful effect upon the girl, and yesterday morning she volun tarily talked and read a little, but in the afternoon she became quieter and finally went to sleep. From the beneficial re sults of the cold baths the physicians expressed hope of her speedy recovery from tbe peculiar ailment that produced such a remarkable slumber. Subscribe for Tbe Chronicle. Mr. William Vanbibber Stopped In the Read by a Would-be Bobber. Mr. William Vanbibber, who has driven a milk wagon for about thirty years, from his ranch to The Dalles, was held up about 1 :30 o'clock Sunday morn ing wnue on tits way in. lie was ordered to stop, and Mr. Vanbibber did so, not realizing it was a command, and thinking it was some friend of bis. He was undeceived when he was ordered to throw up his hands, and he refused to do it, though a pistol was thrust at him, pointing toward his leg. The order was repeated, and this time was accom panied by a blow with the pistol across the fleshy part of tbe leg. Mr. Van bibber has for tbe past few months car ried a weapon, but he did not have it on this trip. He, however, expressed de fiance, and whipping bis horse, started briskly off. After he bad gone about 20 feet, a pistol shot was fired, and tbe horse crouched down as if shot. He was probably' "creased," that is tbe ball passed so closely to bis head, that the effect is temporarily the same as if shot, He recovered and started again, when another shot was fired with the same effect. Four or five shots were fired, bringing the horse to a stand each time until tbe last, when he went ahead. Mr. Vanbibber said be did not get a view of the face of tbe hold-up, but was confident of the voice, and later swore out a warrant for the arrest of a well known young man, whose name we are requested not to mention until the result of the preliminary trial, so that in case the defendant is discharged the publicity may be no greater than possible. A preliminary trial was held this afternoon, at which Mr. Vanbibber swore to tbe identity of the pistol and the voice of his assailant. W. M. Mclntyre is exhibiting, at the Umatilla bouse, one of Edison's most wonderful inventions, the kinetoecope, in connection with the more familiar phonograph. By this truly wonderful discovery in science, t is possible for generations hundreds of years in the future to not only hear the eloquence of a speaker of today, but see him, mark his gestures and the expression of his face. In this way the eloquence of Henry Clay, tbe music ot Ole Bull, tbe assassination of Abraham Lincoln would all have been capable ot reproduction by tbe triumph of Edison's electrical dis covery, tne kinetoecope.
