JOURNALIST.
c. E. Washburne's Strange Infatuation
and the Troubles it has Led
Him Into.

Him Into.
lust before his departure fIr San
Francisco yesterday on the Monowai,
C.. F.. Washburne announced to rep.
rcscntatives of the press and Others
that he should return and marry a
daughter of John Cummins. Mr..
Washburne is newspaper man OF the
coast metropolis and left there for
Honolulu February 3. His wife, a re-
fined, sad-faCed lady was at the wharf
to bid him goodbye and wish him a
safe a speedy return. The two had
been married for some years and lived
in a cottage of their own at Berkeley.
1t appears from the story which MIR.
Washburne told freely and apparently
wished to have known here that he
lad not lived happily with his wife and
so fell an easy victim to the charms OF
Miss Cummins. He seemed to have
made his choice deliberately as he had
taken abundant pains to acquaint him
self with the attractions of other native
and halfwhite women and reached the
conclusion that she was the pick of the
flock.
A gentleman believed to be Mrs.
Washburnes lawyer arrived on the Mar
iposa to investigate. He said to a
STAR reporter that, some weeks ago,
Mr.. Washburne had written his wife
giving full details of his Courtship and
of his relations with various women
here, to the end that she might secure
a divorce and release him from his
marital VOWS. The wife was nearly
distracted and went weeping to her
husbands acquaintanCes, who advised
her to go to an attorney. She did so,
and the result was a letter from the
lawyer, which Mr.. Washburne received
about six weeks since, that if he would
deed over his interest in the Berkeley
homestead to his wife she would free
him from his bonds.
In the meantime Washburne had
written his better half asking for a
loan Of $50 with which to buy an en-
gagement ring for Miss Cummins. As
Mrs. Washburne had no funds and nc
inclination to meet the demand if she
had been solvent, the newspaper mar
was obliged to await his regular remit
tances. These were liberal and Mr.
Washburne had no trouble, finally il
sealing his new compact with solitaire
The unfortunate hero of these ad
venturesis 6years old, and in times past
has done capable work in his profession
1t is the charitable belief of those
who knew him here that he is afflicted
with one of the forms of acute mania
and that, if he secures asylum treatment
of the proper kind, he will live to atone
if possible, for his deplorable errors.
On his departure yesterday his in
amorata and her female friends were
at the dock, hanging leis about hi
neck and filling the air with thei
"alohaS."
Washburne's father and mother are
living, but they separated severa
years ago.
