Card From Honolulu.

Amongst other friends in Staunton
Capt. P E. Wilson, who is now the
agent of the Bodley Wagon Works at
Honolulu, has sent us a postal card on
which is scene in that tropical eli
mate, the scene being in this instance
the birth place of Queen Emma,
"Aloha Nui." The palace in which
the queen was born consists of a low
hut seemingly made of palm leaves
held up by nude poles 1t would not
be good enough for a cattle shed in
this country. We of course said if
this is the palace in which kings and
queens are born in Hawaii, what man
ner of habitatiOn do the poor enjoy?
We were glad to hear from our old
friend and townsman, and take this
card, which is evidently in the nature
of New Years greeting to mean that
he was IN good health and enjoying the
festive season. The card bears pos
tai date of January 2.

She Was Thrice Divorced.

The case of Sarah Elizabeth Penn
berton, whose home is in Florida and
who says she is the widow of A. r.
Pemberton, is again before the courts
in London On appeal.
Mrs. PembertOn claimed an income
of 81 900 yearly out of the Pemberton
estates in Cambrldgeshire. She was
married to Mr.. Pemberton in 1880, af-
ter having been divorced three times.
Her claim to the money was resisted
on the ground that the decree If d.
vorce secured by her second husband,
Holmes Erwin, was invalid because on
ly nine days elapsed between the issue
and the return of the process, though
the rules of the Florida court require
ten days to intervene. The lower
court upheld this view, declared that
Erwin's divorce was INVALID, and that,
therefore the claimant was not tn
awful widow of Mr.. Pembertop. The
Appeal court reserved judgment.
The above clipping was taken from
the Baltimore Sun, and has a local in
terest in Staunton, for as will be re
called by many, Mr. Holmes Erwin
and his wife, who now claims to be
Mrs Sarah Elizabeth PembertOn,
lived in th s city about fifteen years
ago, having built and resided i'll the
residehce now owned by Mr.. Ballard
Bruce, OH North Market street: And
while resident of this city Mr.. En-
win as taken sick and went to New
York hospital for treatment. There
be made the acquaintance of a trained
nurse, who some time after ward be-
came his housekeepel here. Her pres
ence in the family was said to have
caused jealousy and some time there
utter she left for the South, and after
that Mr.. Erwin left home in a mystic
'ious manner. At any tate his con-
luct led to a separation, and subse-
quent divorce proceedings,
Mrs. Erwin afterwards married A.
R. Pemberton, an Englshman, who
las since died. If her divorce pro-
seedlings against Mr.. Erwin are declar-
d valid she will receive considerable
state, and will have been thrice di- I
'Orced. &

Lieut.. Carter Johnson Joins his Command

Lieut.. Carter johnson left Washing
ton Saturday over the Southern for
Huntsville, Alabama, to join his regi-
ment the 10th Cavalry, which has been
stationed there, but which is today
moving to points in Texas. Lieut..
johnson has been on a leave of absence
of several months which time he spent
in New York with friends recuperat
ing from the hardshlps endured whilst
in the Cuban swamps with Gomez,
when he was sent on scout and spe-
cial expedition by the government. At
one time his relatives here heard he
had been killed by his own men, but
this report was soon found to be with
out foundation. There is generally
believed to have been some bad be-
hayior on the part of these men, and
bad treatment by Gomez, but the facts
relative to that expedition have never
been made public.
Lieut.. Johnson would have visited
Stanton on his way South, but a
change in orders requiring him to
leave a week earlier than he had orr
ginally intended caused him to 60 at
once to his command. He has pretty
fully recovered his lost health.
