Colony of GO,000 Afflicted In the Province of Canton. That bis old age may be spent in a leper colony, whose misery the world does not duplicate. Is the ambition of Father L. I. iDonrardy, one of the graduating class of the University of Oregon medical depart ment. Eight long years on Molokal, where leather Damien fell a victim to his sacrl flclng spirit, did not quench Father Con aardy's hope to serve the wretched out casts of all ages. He was relieved by Molokai by the noble Damlen's brother, and now 1s about to plunge into the greatest leper colony of the world. His studies at the medical department of the university have been solely for the pur pose of better equipping himself to alle viate the sufferings of lepers, and, al though CO years of age, and worn by a life among semi-barbarians, savage and seml-clvIllzed people, he will be the pio neer white man in China's largest leper colony, situated in the province of Can ton. This devout laborer for mankind is not a stranger in Oregon. He was on the Umatilla reservation from 1S74 to 18S8, be ing engaged with the Indian tribes so well known to this state. In 1888 Father Con rardy went to 'Molokai, in the Hawaiian group, where there are 1200 lepers con fined. One year after he arrived there Father Damien, the world-known spirit that devoted life to this loathsome work, succumbed to leprosy, leaving Father Father I. L. Conrardy. i Conrardy in full charge. For eight years this dauntless priest challenged the fate Ills heroic predecessor had met, but was guarded by some influence more potent. Father Conrardy proved practically im mune, and, although daily coming In con tact with the disease that terrifies the world, never became infected. There was not an hour, except when he was sleep ing, that the priest was not exposed to conditions popularly regarded as fatal. As a result of his experience, Father Conrardy believes leprosy infectious rather than contagious. In 185C he took a trip to Japan and China, after being relieved at Molokai by Father Damlen's brother, to study the leprosy colonies of those countries, and through the influence of the American Consul at Canton was permitted to enter the great leper colony of the provlnco of Canton, where no other white man had ever been. There are between 50,000 and 00,000 lepers In this colony, which is noted for being the most loathsome on earth. Canton's vast population Is so dense that filth breeds this dread disease at a start ling rate. In the city of Canton alone there are 1,800,000 people, and the streets are never more than six feet wide; oftener only three feet wide. Each leper is allowed by the govern ment only 1 cent a day for sustenance. Father Conrardy says the lepers' of the colony are inclined to be industrious, and with the pittance from the government he hopes to enable them to provide for them selves quite plentifully, compared with the wretched state they are now reduced to as a result of misguided efforts or lack of co-operation. Before going to his work. Father Con rardy expects to canvass the East for assistance to place the leper colony in fair condition. If he secures enough money he will buy a tract of land, build houses on it, which are no more than verandas, and commence systematic work to organize and develop the colonics pro ducing capacity. In their present habita tions the Cantonese have no soap, ban dages, salve or chemicals of any kind to treat their affliction, which makes the pain much more intense than It other wise would be. All of these articles the good priest hopes to provide, that the un ending suffering of such a large part of humanity may be mitigated as far as pos sible. There Is a Cantonese Chinaman here In Portland who wants to return to his na tive province with Father Conrardy, to lend -whatever aid he may to the work. He has the confidence of the people there, and will be quite useful. Father Con rardy does not go to this gloomy work in the capacity of missionary, but as a Good Samaritan, In the interests of hu manity. These unfortunates, in hla eyes, are men and women whose welfare Jus tifies sacrifice of those more favorably born. Should he find those desiring to embrace Christianity, he will administer to them spiritually. But his crowning ambition is to Illustrate practical Chris tianity. The aged priest's mission Is one so for bidding to the ordinary mind that it seems difficult to grasp the depth of its sacri fice. A much younger and more vigorous mind might stand appalled before even the preliminary work of this undertak ing. "White men have had nothing to do there. All the difficulties of racial Isola tion and Chinese stubbornness must be met. But to Father Conrardy, whose life has been a struggle with strange, wild people, these impediments are not heeded. He feels confident that as soon as his work is indicated by first results there will be abundance of official aid to pro mote and further his plans. His ago he thinks but a small handicap. Health Is yet good, and he has no fears of leprosy. The simple element sof climate Is what causes him most apprehension, as the colony Is In a damp, hot zone. Father Conrardy thinks that by the time he has spent five years in the colony It will be in such a condition of progress that the eyes of men will be drawn, until a quali fied successor may be found to take up the burden and relieve the pioneer, that ho may spend his few remaining feeble years In rest. Since commencing his medical course in Portland Father Conrardy has not been idle In other respects. "Various priests have been assisted in their churches, and any work of the diocese that, he could attend to has found him ready and will ing. It is novel for one of 5G to com mence a medical course, which involves a vast amount of work, often overtaxing young and more virgin minds. His stud ies have been followed faithfully In every respect. Dr. Joseph!, dean of the college, attests that the usual faulty memory of 60 -was not evident In the examinations, even on the long lists of difficult terms found in anatomy. Now that he has re ceived his degree of M- D., nothing in terferes with Father Conrardy commenc ing immediately plans for his great un dertaking in Canton. REPUBLICAN BAR MEETING. Sentiment in. Favor of a larger Su preme Court. A report on the custom prevalent In this county of employing special counsel in cases involving county interests was the only subject before the Multnomah Republican Bar last evening. The com mittee appointed at the last meeting of the bar to Investigate this matter report ed fully, giving the dates and amounts of money paid out by the County Commis sioners since January, 1893, the total of which was said to be $5234 75, the last payment being on February 13, of this year. This report of the committee was adopted, but no action was taken at the meeting last evening. In moving for Its acceptance, it was Indicated that the re port would be taken up at the next meet ing, which Is to be called by the presi dent. Increasing: the Supreme Bench. . Judge Stott made a few remarks on the pending Constitutional amendment to In crease the Supreme Bench from three to five Justices. He thought there were no three men in the state more worked than the Supreme Judges, and believed it was absolutely necessary to Increase the num ber, as had been done In "Washington, where appellate matters -were decided within two or three months, whereas in the Oregon Supreme Court decisions wera on an average two years behind. E. TV. Bingham favored the Increase. He believed some method should be adopted for informing people on the subject, that xney mignt vote intelligently. He called attention to the tact that any man not voting for the amendment was counted in the nesative, as the law required a spec ified number of votes, and all blanks were eaual to a negative. On motion of Mr. McNary, President Cake appointed a com mittee of three to formulate some plan for circulating Information. The committee Is Judjre Stott, Mr. Bingham and L. A. McNary. Qualifications at Primaries. President Cake invited Mr. Bingham to answer Mayor Storey's question pertaining to voters nt primary elections, which was done In the following communication, ac cepted as Mr. Bingham's opinion, rathCF than any action by the association: "Section 5 of the primary law of 1S91 fixes and defines the right to vote at a primary election this year. The qualifica tions are that the voter must be one who will, in the course of time and nature. If not now, be a fully qualified elector at the next June election, and further, that he has not yet voted at any primary elec tion this year. The registration law has nothing to do with the qualifications of electors at the primary elections." Dilating on the subject, Mr. Bingham said that the registration law Imposed no qualifications not contained in the Con stitution. It specified certain duties of cit izens, that their qualifications might be known. If. for Instance, & man would be come of age by the June election and was otherwise qualified, Mr. Bingham held that he should be permitted to vote at the pri mary elections. The speaker also mentioned at some length a new srlrnary law which he had been considering with others, in further ance of the purpose of the Australian bal lot system and the registration law.

BREHANY. Concert and Opera Ton lent, tit the Y. M. C. A. Hall. Seldom has an artist grown Into promi nence with the rapidity of this lady. Al though she has been a member of many notable organizations, her appearance as a star covers only two seasons, and yet In that time her name hasbecome almost a household word all through the South and West, and this season she and her clever company have been the recipients of wonderful praise and attendance every where. Louise Brehany, in addition to being a great singer. Is a very beautiful woman, and her charm of manner possesses that wonderful fascination that brings her at once Into close sympathy and harmony with her audience, and to hear her ren der a song or ballad is to feel all the thrill and emotion of the song. There la no one In America that can approach her as a ballad singer. This year, as last, she has surrounded herself wlfli a company of clever music ians, embracing W. Gulllaume Sauvlet, that great pianist whose work Is alwajs delightful. In little Olga Schmoll, Mr. Thearle has brought to public notice a wonderful young artist; her violin play ing is really very unusual; she Is the happy possessor of Remenyi's AmatI violin. Miss Jessie Monroe is a good contralto singer, and Louis J. Mintz, a young tenor of good voice and presence, who has had the advantage of studies abroad: Forrest D. Carr, that splendid basso cantante, who has been heard with the Sousa Band and the DeVere International Opera Com pany, make up the assisting artists. In addition to a regular concert pro gramme. Miss Brehany and her company do the farm scene from "Martha," beau tifully costumed, with Miss Brehany as Martha, and the garden scene of "Faust," with special scenery and costumes; Miss Brehany has received great praise from the metropolitan press of the West and South for her beautiful singing and Im personation of Marguerite, a part Just suited to her voice and temperament. Miss Brehany also believes in beautiful dresses, and her costumes are the acme of the dressmaker's art, and she is the possessor of many rare and beautiful Jewels. The management of the Y. M. C. A. have gone to large expense to give the mem bers and lovers of music a treat, with no thought of making money or even being able to meet expenses. The advance salt of tickets indicates that the capacity of the hall will be taxed to the utmost. NEWSBOYS WERE PLEASED. A BIb CroTvd Witnessed Comedy)! "My Precious Baby." One of the largest houses of the season witnessed the presentation of the intensely funny farce-comedy, "My Precious Baby," at the Metropolitan Theater. Through the kindness of the management tne newsboys of The Oregonlan and the Tele gram were admitted free. This force filled the gallery to the overflowing point, and It made an enthusiastic audience in itself. There Is no more critical audience than the one composed of newsboys, and the comedy, as presented last night, was fnlly up to their Ideals. The body of the houso was well filled with the regular patrons of the theater, who were sympathetic and appreciative throughout the entire play. The production went with the dash and spirit that has characterized it all the week. Miss Georgie Cooper sang several of her popular coon songs In her own Inimitable way, and Eddie Holland and Miss Abbott Introduced some attractive specialties. The comedy has proven very successful, and the audiences have grown steadily larger all the week. "My Freclous Baby" will be the bill at the matinee this afternoon, and at the regular performance tonight.

While no serious ruction Is expected to occur In the Democratic county conven tion, which will meet this morning at 10 o'clock In the assembly hall of the Cham ber of Commerce, It Is more than likely the proceedings of the body will be punc tuated with more or less d'scord. All the delegates, however, are unanimous In ex pressing the hope that any trouble that may arise will be evanescent: all of them are holding the olive branch, and the leaders will be on hand with large jugs of oil to pour on the troubled watero. It Is likely entire harmony will prevail In all the work of the convention, until the nomination of candidates is reached. The prospective candidates, with visions of former "leg pulling" looming up before them, desire a short campaign. With them It Is a question of money. The Central Committee and many of the leaders hold the same view. With these It is a question of policy. They argue that a stronger ticket can be named after the Republicans have showed their hand. The convention will be called to order by Dr. G. M. Wells, chairman of the Coun ty Central Committee. Three Democrats have been mentioned aa temporary chair manAlex Sweek, J. T. Mllner and Fred erick Holman. Tho temporary chairman will most likely be elected permanent chairman. The convention will be com posed of 146 delegates, and all of them are expected to be present or represented by prcxy. If the designs of the leaders pre vail the ccrventlon will proceed to elect 32 c'.elegales to the state convention, which will crnvcr.e In Portland April 12. After th. tfci new County Central Committee will be elected, an order of buslneso will ba adopi'.ci. and tho convention will ad journ until some time after the state con vention. Some of the delegates lt Is Im possible to ascertain how many are In favor of naming a full ticket today. Whether the committee will be able to muster enough delegates to Its support to prevent this Is a problem. But should a ticket be nominated, It Is assured that It will be a Democratic ticket. There will be no fusion with the Populists, either to day or at an adjourned meeting. If the Populists come Into the convention they must come in the guise of Democrats, and the glad hand will be extended to them. All kinds of overtures will be made to placate the Gold Democrats and to wel come their return to the fold. It Is agreed that they are to have eight or ten of the delegates to the state convention, and a fair representation on the County Central Committee. It Is also likely that some of the candidates will be selected from the ranks of those who supported Palmer and Buckner in 1S95.

Fong Mow Won. "a Chinese dealer In lottery tickets, was found guilty of selling the forbidden papers by Judge Hennessy yesterday, and fined 5105. As Fong had deposited $1C0 with the Chief of Poilce. as ball, this will be tirrned over to the fine fund. Judge Hennessy said: "The defendant Is charged with the vio lation of ordinance No. 11,536, being an ordinance to prevent and suppress the sale of or having in possession of lottery tick ets or Instruments used or intended to be used In making lottery tickets. "This Is a new ordinance, having been enacted for the purpose of overcoming the objection raised 'to the prior ordinance, which ordinance had been declared Invalid by the Supreme Court of this state. "The testimony for the city -consisted of that of Frank Bulger, a police officer, who purchased of the defendant In thl3 city on the 26th of this month a lottery ticket, for which he pnld the sum of 10 cents. Tho officer's testimony la clear as to the Iden tity of the defendant, and that the afore said sum was pajd for what purported to be a lotterr ticket, Thl3 ticket has all of the appearances of the aforesaid lot tery tickets, and was sold as such. "Immediately upon purchasing the ticket the officer arrested tne defendant. No evidence Is Introduced on behalf of the defendant. A motion for the dismissal of the complaint was made at the conclu sion of the testimony of the prosecution. "It Is the desire and Intention of the police department of this city to sup- t press lotteries, as It Is conceded that i through them a great many vicious habits t are contracted by young men, and a great deal of hard-earned money Is foolishly spent; in fact, such crimes as embezzle ment and larceny by bailee have had their origin In the practice which clerks and bookkeepers have Indulged in of playing the lottery. "It Is my Intention heartily to co-operate with the police department In the sup pression of these crimes, and where the evidence Is clear and satisfactory and the law valid, as In this case, I shall certainly be compelled to convict the parties charged with these offenses. 1 have no doubt but that the defendant Is guilty of the crime charged In this complaint, and that the ordinance Is "entirely valid and binding." furnished, and where these whites, who have long since lost all respect for them selves, spend their time In various stages of dirt and debauchery. TRANSFER RAILROAD. Street Committee "Will Prdliably Tako o Action Today. There Is no probability of the Front street railway franchise being considered by the committee on streets today, owing to the absence of Chairman Martin, who Is out of the city. A prominent citizen and an owner of property on Front street. In discussing the matter yesterday, said there were three conditions which should be Imposed In granting a franchise for a railroad "track on Front street: First It should be open to the use of i all the railroads entering Portland, and , not to the Southern Pacific alone. Second It should not be operated before 6 o'clock Jn the evening, nor after 6 o'clock In the morning. Third It should be required that the road be operated by an electric engine. , furnished with a storage battery, so that there shall be no trolley wires, and no I steam motor, nor smoke on the street. j This property-owner would not say that he would give his consent to the granting of a franchise on Front street under these conditions, but he probably would. When It was suggested that it might be Impracticable to operate an engine with a storage battery, so as to give aufllcient power to haul trains of lumber, etc., ho said It was done In Baltimore, where whole trains were hauled by storage bat- j tery engines. I As the road proposed to be constructed on Front street is Intended primarily to ' give the Southern Pacific connection be tween their Jeffert-on-street depot and tho Terminal grounds. It Is not clear that j other railroads would have any use far ' the line, except perhaps to deliver freight ( at warehouses on Front street. This will probably be arranged for In some way be- fore the franchise is granted. Boston Lyric V Fine Rendition of "Faust," nt Cortlrny's. The Boston Lyric Opera Company, last night, eang In grand opera. Its rendition of "Faust" was hy far the most preten tious of the season, and at he same time the most satisfactory- SIgnor Russo, as Faust, sang his role In his usual artistic style. His singing of the tender passages, particularly In the beautiful "Salve d'Amore" solo of the third act, showed the excellent sympathetic quality of his voice, while In the more Impassioned passogcB his clear, ringing, robust voice earned spontaneous recognition. Josephine Stanton sang the role of Marguerite In such a man ner as to surprise her friends, who had seen her but In the sprightly roles of comic opera prima donna. The delicate, dreamy music In the role of Marguerite seemed peculiarly fitted to her voice, while her charming personality added to the at tractiveness; Maude Leekley appeared for the first time In buskins as SlebeL Her singing of "Marguerite," In the third act, added to her enviable reputation with Portland music-lovers. George Kunkel, as Mephlsto, proved himself very versatile and capable. It was hard to believe one's eyes and ears when Kunkel appeared in the heavy role of Mephlsto after seeing his hilarious, rollicking work during the previous part of the engagement. Tho chorus seems to be doing better "Wanted Forfeited Money. Michael Spahn, whose wagon wheels weresto'en some time ago, and who caused the arrest of F.

DRINKING 5-CENT GIN. Disreputable White Who Patronize Chin ex e Shops. I i A number of white men who hang around the Chinese gin shops on Second street have been the subject of police attention for a long time, but as no charge can bo made against them, these seml-hobos have not been molested. The Chinese har bor them for the sake of a few cents a . day spent in gin, but they sometimes 1 become frightened when their customers j get drunk and begin fighting each other. rn tTifca npojiRlnn the nollce are called In and arrests are made, but the gang cannot be broken up In that way. The men manage to scrape a few cents to gether every day by carrying in wood or begging a dime from persons met on the streets, and this money all goes for gin, which Is sold for 5 cents a glass. The customers can He around drunk within these den3 just as long as they keep from fighting, as the ginseller desires to retain their trade. Chinese gin mills aro harmless-looking enough In the eyes of the average passer by, as the front portions of the premises are devoted to the sale of groceries, teas, etc. The back room Is where the gin is COFFEE HEADACHES. IT Years' Experience! "Whon Postum Cereal Coffee first came out, I was glad to begin the use of It and stop coffee, for I had long been convinced that my sick headaches (from which I had suffered for 17 years) were caused more or less by coffee-drinking. The headaches vanished like magic after tho use of Postum was begun, and I can truthfully say that the first box of Pos tum Cereal Coffee did me more good than all the headache powders and other cures for that disease that I had taken through out the whole 17 years of suffering. "Naturally, I am absolutely certain that my headaches resulted directly from tho use of coffee. Tou can use my testimonial, but please do not use my name In public." Mrs. , Indianapolis, Ind.
