DEATH STILLS VOICE THAT
REACHED HEARTS OF MEN
Sudden Demise of Dr, R. M.
Emerson Blow to Many
' Portlanders.
By M. N. I.
It is hard to write about the death
of one's friend. All the usual phrases
seem so empty. One can only think
of words that tell of grief and of
missing him. 1 have been sitting
a long while at my desk thinking of
Dr. R. M. Emerson. He died yester
day afternoon and he had been ill
only a wek.
T should begin to say that he was
born in V'.rjrlnla IS years apo and
that his parents moved with him to
Bay City. Mich., when he was only a
little child, but the thing that holds
my memory is the caressing sympa
thy of his voice when only a few
weeks ago he sang at one of thn
Ad club luncheons. "When I Leave
the World Behind."
You know there is a lot of senti
ment In that song and no one found
it or interpreted It so as "Doo" Em

He could sinrr. He could sing to
charm on audience of thousands. But
hp could do more than that. He could
sins: his way right Into your heart.
And whenever he santr it was Just his

Woman Accused of Sewing Hen s Eyes

Meets Officer at Gate Witk Hammer
Mrs. Mary Loveland, 911 Borthwlck
street, was arrested yesterday after
noon by Humane Officer Louis W".
Pitts and Deputy City Attorney Stad
ter on a charge of cruelty to animals.
Specifically, Mrs. Loveland Is ac
cused of sewing up the eyes ef her
'two Plymouth Rock hens.
With a needle and white thread she
is said to have done a Job that would
have been a credit to any interne.
Each of the hena has a flock of
. chicks and each has a motherly re
- sard for her own, but a positive ha
tred for the other's.
. JtThe hens began a systematic at
tack on the other's young, pecking at
; every little, ehick of a . rival family
at every-opportunity, "
To atop the attacks Mrs. Loveland
put four or five stitches apiece in
the hens' eyes.
Neighbors told the humane society
The officers called. Mrs. Loveland
met them at her gate with a hammer.
"I defy you to take me to the sta
tion," ahe said.
They didn't.
But she promised to appear In
court Monday morning. "There's no
harm In sewing a chicken's eyes," she
protested, "why, my mammle taught
me that tn Missouri years ago.
Examination of the hens showed
that in one the stitches had worked
out entirely, but that the other still

so much of melody to Portland.
Bough Places Smoothed.
It Is a news duty to tell how he
came to Oregon 17 years ao and
lived with his uncle and aunt, Mr.
and Mrs. B. p. Habersham, first in
Astoria and then in Portland, but
here again a stray memory comes of
an appeal for the needy a year or so
ago and of how he began to neglect
nis aenrai practice and even nls sing
ing that he might bring some mate
rial happiness to the unfortunate.
Whenever there was a. chance to
make some one a bit happier or to
smooth a rough place in the life of
a friend or make some club stunt a
success. Dr. Emerson anticipated the
need or the request. And we were
just beginning to appreciate him.
Glx years ago last May he gradu
ated from the North Pacific Dental
college and five years ago the first
of June he took from Eugene as his
wife. Miss Grace Magladry, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Ma

wflr Ones at Bedside.
Mrs. Emerson and her mother were
at his bedside when he ceased to
breatne and his happy life ended. If
you had known Dr. Emerson you
would never nave dreamed of any
sudden end unless by accident. But
he tfrent to the hospital a week ago
for an operation on his tonsils. He
went home afterwards and seemed
quite well for a day or so. but evi
dently the trouble hadn't been found.
for he went back to the hospital for
an operation for appendiciCs. His
condition was much more serious, it
was found then, than even his phy
sicians had suspected. Last Wednes
day at the Ad club every man sent
him a message of sympathy and good
wishes. Not one of them, I'll ven
ture. but has trouble to believe that
tomorrow at 12:30 his funeral will be
held from Finley's chapel, probably
under the direction of the Episcopal
church. The thing right here that
makes it hard to see these words as
they are typed is the sudden thought
that never, in this life, will I hear
him sing again or call out his cheery
hello.
Opossums Found in
Crate of Bananas
Store Clerks Xad Mistaken the Newly
Born Animals for a Bevy of UtUe
Walt Mice.
Norman, Okla., July 8. Thirteen
little "mice" Jumped out of a crate of
bananas that the clerks in a local
store were unwrapping and the men
thought that they had better kill
them. But after ten had been slaugh
tered one of the clerks noticed that
they had long black tails, so a con
sultation was made before the battle
continued. Two of the little "mice'
were sent out to the university to
Dr. H. H. Lane of the zoology de
partment, who declared them to be a
species of opossums found In far-off
Honduras. Dr. Lane believes that the
mother was shipped in the crate of
bananas from Honduras and gave
birth to the 13 little 'possums while
on her way to America, but that she
escaped before the fruit arrived in
Norman.

work.
Dr. Mackenzie said in part:
"One Of the most interesting records
In the annals of the Pacific north-'
west, and one which is not as well
known as it should be, was the land
ing on the Columbia river, 60 years
ago, of a email band of pilgrims con
sisting of five women.
"Pilled with enthusiasm and ani
mated with a deep spiritual zeal and
a desire to spread the Christian gos
pel they left the Atlantic seaboard,
sailing by way of Cane Horn, and ar
rived in the small town of Vancouver
December 8, 1856, where they laid the
first foundations of a splendid sys
tem of spiritual, philanthropic and ed
ucational work, which has made a last
ing impression upon the civilization of
this country. I
Much Service Rendered. i
"During the 60 years of faithful 1
service which have passed since the
landing of this band of pilgrims, an
endless chain of children, numbering
tens of thousands, have passed in and
out of their schools and seminaries of
learning, having received the benefits
of a sound education, hallowed by
Christian precepts and imbued with
the best ideals of a Datriotic Amer- .
lean citizenship. I
Iheir achievements In everv human'
walk attest more eloquentlv than
words the soundness of the trainine
that they received and the singleness
of purpose of their teachers.
It is not my Drovinco here to eoeak
of the church of which they form no
small part and which by their virtues
and rare graces they adorn the
church wherein there is little schism
and less discord and which works in
cessantly for the welfare of its flock.
Its steeples lift their tall spires Irito
the clouds In a thousand places their
shrines are sanctified by a most con
stant and high devotion and echo and
re-echo with the anthem of peace and
good-will to all men. The great hos
pitals which are the work of the hands
of this hive of tireless and devoted
workers, recall the ancient temples In
which prayer and healing were mine-led
and the priests ministered to the mind;
diseased and the body afflicted.
Humanity Is Aided. I
'The temples erected to the son of
Apollo, the god of healing, in the isles i
of Greece, were planted in beautiful i
groves and embellished with the' most .
perfect products of Greek art. These
temples recently brought to light by I
the work of the archaeologist find '
their prototypes in the modern hos
pitals erected bv these good women, :
and are designed and devised for the
relief and solace of the sick and in
jured. I
The art of the ancients finds Its!
counterpart in the elaborate appoint-j
ments that are installed in the modern;
hospital to meet the requirements of
the art and technique of modern surg-
ery. These good women, my good
friends, have proved to the world abun- .'
dantly that they are the best hospital
ouiiaers ana managers because thev :
have dedicated their lives wholly to
the great work of ministering to and
assuaging the woes of humanity.
j nere is no work in all the range i
of human service like unto that to,
which their lives are devoted. It be-!
gins with the early dawn and Is only

no pay save the reward of virtue. The
work is hard and draws from everv
fiber and every nerve, and from every:
drop or the Doay s blood its toll of
service.
"What 1s the work, what are the
duties? The obligations? Minister
ing tenderly to the sick, giving balm
to the wounded, turning the tortured
body, lifting the feeble and the weak.
bending the back to the work of
swathing the mangled limb, smoothing
the pillow; coaxing the delirious to
their rest and sleep, and if need be,
giving spiritual comfort to those
whose eyes are feebly closing in their
last sleep.
Hospitals Are Monuments.
"Some idea of the value of the
philanthropic service which they per
form can be gleaned from a study of
the hospitals they have built, and
which they are operating to their ca
pacity at the present time. In this
western country alone their establish
ments include in Alaska, British Co-'
lumrjia. tne states or California, Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana, hospitals at the following
points: Nome City, New Westmin
ster, Cranbrook, Vancouver, Seattle,
Walla Walla, Spokane, Olympla, Port
Townsend, North Yakima, Colfax, Ev
erett, Portland, Astoria, Medford, Mis
soula, Benton. Great Falls, Wallace
and Oakland. Each of these hospitals
is the most complete and modern in '
Its community, and not a few of them
such as those of the cities of Seattle,
Spokane and Portland will compare
in point of solidity of construction
and completeness or appointment and
equipment with any in the world.
"The magnitude of this service can
be realized when one stops to consid
er that these hospitals contain 30u0
beds capable of giving when operated
to their capacity, one day's treatment
to 1.000.000 patients in one year.
"It is safe to say that during the
year 1915 these hospitals provided
shelter for at least 200.000 or 300.000
men, women and children needing me-
aical and surgical treatment.
"The Sisters of this order built
their first hospital at Vancouver in
1858 and it Is known as St. Joseph's
hosndtal The first St Vincents hos
pital was opened In 1875 by Sister I
Theresa and four companions. It was I
closed In 1895 after having harbored'
within its walls 20,000 patients. i
first Burgeons Xameo,
"Dr. Henry E. Jones, Dr. Alfred
Kinny, Dr. Wiilliam Jones and Dr. Rex
were the first surgeons In attendance.
Dr. Henry E. Jones, a veteran of Get
tysburg, who is still living, hale and
hearty, established in this hospital a
wonderful record of achievement in
surgery not excelled for skill and or
iginality anywhere at that period in
amerlca.
"The present, St. Vincent's hospital
was opened in 1895. and has accom
modations for 400 patients, and 160,
000 patients have . received treatment
within Its walla up to the present
time.
'It is a pity the self-effacement
and modesty of the religious life an
nuls the record of Its earthly achieve
ment with its earthly burial, else
would the name of Mother Joseph go
down as a great builder of hospitals.
