Sister Mary Febronia .was born in
the village of St. John the Baptist,
province of Quebec, Canada, April 15,
1835, of English and Uerman parents.
Her early days were spent in her na
tal village, where she grew and re
ceived her early instructions in her re
ligion. From her girlhood day ahe evi
denced a taste for things religious,
and in her nineteenth year she entsred
the novitiate of the Congregation of
the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary.
In the quaint little chapel of the con
vent of the congregation in the town
of Longeil, which is prettitly situated
on the banks of the mighty St. Law
rence river, she received the white
veil of her postulate, taking her first
vows and giving her life to the work
of the sisterhood, of which she has
been a member through Tiialf a cen
tury. The first four years of her life were
spent in the convent home at Longeil,
where she beeame familiar with the
work that was to be hers for life.
With a little band of twelve sisters
of the congregation, Sister Febronia
left her quiet and comfortable convent
home on the St. Lawrence and jour
neyed across the continent to the wilds
of the northwest, and finally comingVo
Portland. Or. In that city this brave
littlof band of women organized their
new home, tstablishing old St. 'Mary s
academy and college. The beginning
was modest, and the structure tKvy
called home consisted of a small frame
dwelling. The foundations they Jraild
ed were firm, and on them has since
risen the splendid mother house which
still bears the name of St. Mary's.
Of those forty-six years that have
paused since the little band of wo
men arrived in Portland, Sister Mrry
Febronia has spent nearly all in this
state, where she has erected monu
ments of good TTeeds in the villages.
towns and cities in which she has la
bored. The aged nun has held re
sponsible positions in her sisterhood,
being admitted one of the ablest finan
ciers of the congregation. Jieeause of
this peculiar ability she has been
economist of the congregation for sev
eral years in Portland, the duties of
which are arduous and many, one
has been sister superior of the congre
gation's houses at The Dalles, Jack
sonville and St. Paul, and all the time
she has been a teaching sister in the
academies Wherever she he been lo
cated.
The autumn of her life is- as peace
ful and calm as has been that of her
earlier years. The earee of almost
seventv years have left few marks
upon her, and today she enjoys robust
health, and is an aetiv member of
the community at the Academy of the
Sacred Heart, teaching her class daily
and assuming iter share of the bur
dens of community life.
Because of tho stress of much work
that is now occupying the congrega
tion of this state in preparing its ex
hibit for the Lewis and Clark exposi
tion, tho golden jubilee of Sister."Mery
Fe-bronia was not generslly observed
by tho sisters throughout the 1 state,
but it will be given proper reeognf
eion in July when the stslers-gather-at
the mother house in Portland for. their
annual retreat. Then ceremonies of
an elaborate character will be held.
and Sister Febronia will be the guest
of honor of northwest province of the
Congregaeion of the Holy Names of
Jesus and Mary.

Dr. B. O. Yenney "of Portland Is Eect

, ,OJaelL''V::-':'
Alleged Tbat - Dr. Hutchinson Used His
Office as a Means' of Advertising
Himself Did Not Give Board Credit
for Official Actions.
(from Thursday 's Daily.)
- Dr. Woods-Hutchinson, secretary of
the state board of health and' health
officer, has, been deposed from that
position by the state board of health,
at tho meeting heid in Portland yes
terday afternoon, and the vacancy,
which will occur on June 1, will bo
tilled by Dr. R. C. Yenney of Portland.
For some time past it has been rumored
that . Dr. .Hutchinson was not on the
best of terms with all of the members
of the board, had incurred the dis
pleasure of the medical fraternity in
general on account of alleged using of
his office of health officer to advertise
himself, etc., and yesterday the whole
turmoil which has been simmering for
several months came to a boil with the
result stated above.
It is reported that the meeting was
a very interesting and animated one
throughout, especially so as to the elec
tion of officers' feature, when Dr:
Hutchinson crossed swords with several
of the members of the board. The
feeling became so intense, it is stated,
that, upon taking their departure Dr.
Hutchinson refused to shake Jiands
with, some of the members, including
Dr. , B. B. Smith of Pendleton1 and Dr.
Pierce' of this citv. He relented to
ward the former, however, but main
tained his hostile attitude toward the
latter to the 'last. The chief ground
for dissatisfaction, although it. is de
nied that it had any influence in the
determining of the question of the
election of secretary,' was that Dr.
Hutchinson was too ready to rush into
print with all of hi' official movements
ami, instead of giving the board credit
for 'the proceedings, it was" always Dr.
Hutchinson. He took, it is alleged, all
of the credit to himself for all of the
actions of the board. This state, of
thiojfs -waa"ta jverv savory morsel
forythc board iiOt swallow and it -was
discussed in a? lively manner during the
meeting ycsteTda. V -'
Other officers of the board were elect
ed for the ensuing' biennial term be
side the 'secretary, as follows: Presi
dent, Dr. A;-C-Smith of Portland, to
'succeed- himself;" Dr. E. Ji. Pickel of
Medford, vice-president, a'ud DrOskar
Huber of Pbrtnfnd, who is at present
director of Wirks at the Twis and
(Tlark Fhir;;w appointed sanitary en
gineer "of the ' llioard. This office has
been considered! a necessity for some
time past, and his principal duties win
be to advise' the board and' tho state
in sanitary matters generally and par
ticularly pertaining to sewage con
struction, etc. It is also anticipated
that the office of supervising architect
will have to bft added, to the board's
complement -of-ffieers in the near fu
ture and it will probablv be created
at. the next-"regular meeting of the
board, which will take place in Pen
dleton on June 8.
It was also decided by the board that
the meetings of the board will be held
in different " part's of the state in the
future that is, the quarterly meetings,
all of which have been held' in Port
land in the past, and that the annual
meeting during the bitter pert of De
cember of each year will always be
held in Salem. Ir. Pierce states that,
although he made a determined fight
to have all of the meetings held in Sa
lem in the future, bin efforts were un
availing and matters were arranged as
above in the light of a compromise. It
was also stated that Dr. Pierce had
been a candidate for the office of presi
dent of the bard. nut this report is
vigorously denied y the doctor, who
returned "to Salem, "from the meeting
last evening. In discussing the pro
ceedings of the lxoard Dr. Pierce said:
Financial Retrenchment,
"The first thing the board did was
to decide uponv a general line of re
trenchment in the matter of expenses
in connection with the conduct of the.Grand Union eoods are the best and
office, with a view of allowing a portion J
of the und for au exhioit at the Lewis
and Clark Fair and allowing the mem
bers of the board to hold meetings in
different parts of the state for the
purpose of getting acquainted with thc
members of the profession andj ac
quainting 'themselves more thoroughly
with the anitary conditions and hecas
of the state in general, it was found
that the sanitary conditions of alrparts
of the state at present were satisfac
tory. , ,
44 A committee composed of Ir. A.
Kenney, as. chairman. (' It, Smith, E.

the buildings, sewage syBtem, etc, in
cluding the. plant for thc cremation of

to have been constructed strictly upon
Sanitary, grounds and that the most
rigid precautions had been taken for
tho protection of the people who attend

of, high 'standing, and an amiable gen
tleman and one wen qualified "by nature
and accomplishments to nil the 'arduous

fieer-fwith credit to himself , as ,well as

said: . " . ' ' " . '
; : Demanded Higher Wages.
The action' of tne previous meeting
of the Portland Medical Society in its
differences with 4r. Hutchinson re;
garding newspaper advertisements had
nothing whatever tu do with the action
of the board at this time in deponing
him from the position as health omcer
The principal reason for his retirement
was the fact thai his term1 of ofiiee
had expired and that be demanded an
increase of salary which, in accordance
with the eeneral line or retrenchment
adopted, the board could not ee its
way clear to grant, isotning or a per
sonal nature was considered by. any
member of the board in its action in
this matter. The utmost harmony ex
isted between the members of the
board, and their action was unanimous
on all points considered.
Not Candidate for President.
44 1 was not a candidate for presi
dent, the report in the Portland even
ing papers notwithstanding. The choice
of the board was unanimous for Dr.
A. V. Smith, who was eleeted for a
second term. I made a determined ef
fort from first to last to have the office
removed to Salem, however, but was
unsuccessful. . Dr.. Hutchinson was
unanimously commended,. bv the board
for his efficient services' h health of
ficer for the past two years. Commenda
tion was also made upon Miss A. Juli.?
Kirker,' who acted in the capacity of
stenographer for the board for the past
two years; Dr. Ralph C Jlattison, as

year, anfl Professor Albert- Sweetzer,

urging tiie emperor to indicate to Ja-i
pan Russia's willingness to end the
war, jf a reasonable basis can be
reached, has been greatly encouraged
during the last few days, and an act

ahead. What is known as the war
party is billerly opposed to .the' idea
of eace under the present circum
stances, but with the exception of the"
ministers of war anil marine, the em
peror's ministers, barked by M Witte,
soliflly favors this? eourse, and the con

PIOKEEES TO MEET IN JUHE.
Measures Will Be Taken to Secure Day
" for Occasion at Portland Fair.
PORTLAND,' March 21. Prelimina
ry arrangements' have Aiceo'inade by
the board of directors of the Oregon
Pioneer society for the annual gather
ing of that organization June I' in
Portland. Measures, will be taken' by
the society to have a pioneer day at
the, Lewis and Clark exposition June
10, and pioneers of Oregon expect to
gather within the fair grounds and
celebrate conditions vastly different
from those which greeted their eyes
in the- early days of the common
wealth. :
A feature of uncommon interest in
connection with this annual . meeting
will ! be the presence of 'Mow Lore,
now residing ' near Union, Or.; Mr.
Lore was one of the arliet settlers
in Oregon. He lived on French' prai
rie in the ''30s, and Is now 103 years
old. He worked for" the Hudson's Hay
company in the days of Dr. John Mc
Laughlin, whose picture hang in thf
senate chamber of falem.
This eenfennarian pioneer is de
scribed as a man of bright mind and
extraordinary physical preservation,
even at his advanced age. He was here
long before the first . constitutional
convention of Champoeg, of which X.
X. Matthieu is the sole survivor. Tb
historic event i comparatively fresh
in tbe mind of the pioneer of the. 30,
who is promised as, an "attraction"
at the next annual meeting of tae so
