A Woman Mysteriously Shot.

Mrs. Louis Stevens, of Bayside, neal
Flushing, l.. L., was shot last Friday
night under rather mysterious circum.
stances. She was asleep in her room,
she says, when about midnight she
awoke and saw a man standing by her
bed. She thought it was her husband,
who had been out, and spoke to him.
The man then fired a pistol at her,
wounding her in the arm, and immedi.
ately leaped out Of the window and es-
capped. Mr.. William Dodge and his
family live in the house occupied by the
Stevens family, and on hearing the pis-
tOl shot they went to Mrs. Stevens
room and found her unconscious. On
the window was found Mr.. Stevens
pistol wit one barrel empty, and on a
table in the room were found six silver
spoons which had been stolen about q
month ago. and of which all trace had
been lost. Mrs. Sey"ns says the man
was short, had a hl,ck mustache and
wore a Cap pulled down over his eyes.
She could not recognize him if she
should see him again.
On the night of the shooting Mr..
Stevens brother and another man drove
into Flushing and excitedly summoned
a physician to attend the wound. On
being questioned they at first said the
wound was serious, and then that it
was slight. An officer at that place
told reporter that the physician
thought the two men had been drink
ing. Stevens works for a Mr.. Ander.
son, who keeps a fish market, and it is
said that when the difficulty occurred
Stevens and his employer were drit. k
ing in neighboring saloon. No invep- !,
tigation Of the shooting has been made
bv the authorities of the place, but an
officer said last night, eve thought he
might go out there, as the story seemed
rather thin" He added that the pre-
vailing opinion in the village was that
5he woman was shot by her husband,
perhaps accidentally. after the wound
was received Mrs. Stevens weut to live
with her mother.

A Aeen Sense Of lllmOr.

One of the stories told about The Viii {
House to-day was that when Mrs. Gar.
field read an extract from one of the
daily papers to the President he
asked her to read the next paragraph.
1t happened to be a statement to the ei.
feet that some Of Sitting Bulls warrior
were starving in The Northwest. The
President remarked: "rhat is bad.
How would it do to send them my oar.
meal?" The point in this lies in thefact
that though the President has always
had oatmeal on his table, he has GOT
heartily sick fit since he has beea cou
fined to his room. Mrs. Garfield an
swered him that other arrangements
would be made to look after the warriors
but that if he did moi want it, no more
oatmeal would be sent up to him.
