 CHARLES SUMMERS UNHAPPY WIFE lobby of the Ebbitt, last night 'sCharles Summer was a great man in some respects, but he never ought to have married the woman he did. I doubt if he ought to have married any woman at all. Mrs. Sumner was good ChristiBn. She was a widow when he married her, and owing to the terms of will she surrendered her fortune Simmer had no relig IS faith, and he insisted on having diplomatic re- captions at his house on Sunday night. You know he was chairman of the con- mittee on foreign affairs. This was terribly painful to Mrs. Sumner, and a considerate husband would have respected her feelings. Then again, Sumner cared nothing for go- ing out, and Mrs. Sumner did. One of her acquaintanc, 8 was gentleman of one of the foreign diplomatic corps, and he called three or four times to escort her to places, as is the custom in all European countries. By and by Sumner grew insanely jealous, and went to the man and asked him what his intentions were. He went further, and through his influence had the man recalled. This produced an explosion. It was too much for Mrs. Sumner, and she went to Paris to join her brother. By the purest accident she met the gentle man in Paris about whom Sumner had grown so violent in Washington. The situation was an awk- ward one, and she returned at once to her friends in Boston. She had given up her fortune to marry Sumner and was without 8 penny, but some one died about that time and left her comfortable income. She was noble, Christian woman, of per fectly blameless life, and the greatest mis- take she ever made was in marrying Charles Sumner. "- Washington Post

TIE Hartford Times is printing very full
 reports of the Johnson murder trial. The
 evidence given so far is about as the story has been told in The Press. Mrs. A. |. Howard has testified that on neighborly visits made by her Mrs Johnson had told her that her hushaud would not live very long; that he was doing his last work and was about through; that he said he would be shot and die the same as his brother did. These re- marks were repeated number of times not a great while before the shooting. Mrs. A. E. Converse testified thus: Some time before the shooting accused told witness that MT. Johnson was ''about at the end of his rope. " On cross examination witness said Mrs. John son was not excited at the time of making the remark about her husband nearing his end. At other times the accused had said that John son had flirted with the girls. Witness replied that she had never seen anything of the kInd and did not believe Mrs. Johnson had. During Dr. 0. B. Newton's testimony the revolver found upon the person of Mrs. Johnson was produced in court, and caused temporary stir of excitement, followed by deathly si- lence. The witness stated that the ball fitted the empty cartridge in the revolver, and was similar to the bullets in the remaining car tridges. The examination of the loaded pis- tol was closely watched. The jurors exam. ined the loaded cartridges and the fatal bullet.

A Beautiful Tree.

One of the finest blooming trees of the
numerous exotics growing in the city is
the catharta carpos, which will impress
any person who sees it for the first time
as not only beautiful but very remark
able. When the tree is in good soil, the
shoots of the previous year, which are
often six or eight feet long, are com
pletely surrounded with light pink flow
ers, making the appearance of the limb
that of long kahili. There are several
in bloom now, but the largest and most
striking is in the front yard of Captain
Babcock's residence ON Piikoi street, two
or three blocks above Beretania street.
1t presents a sight which will repay a
visit from those who have never before
seen the catharta in bloom.
