Sad News.

The mail received this morning
brought news which caused grief to
many people in Hawaii. The report
of the sudden death of Mrs. Mary
Kumanu Widemann in San Fran
cisco on Christmas day, was not
only terrible blow to her devoted
children in this city but was cause
Of sincere grief to the Hawaiian's
whose friend she always was.
The circumstances surrounding
the death of Mrs. Widemann are
particularly sad. She had been in
excellent health during her visit to
San Francisco where she lived
among her children and grandchild-
rem. The winter climate had agreed
with her and she looked forward to
Christmas which for many years
has been the day of special celebra-
ton in the Widemann family the
birthday of the late Judge falling on
the Oath of December.
"reminiscences Of happy days gone
by overcame the deceased lady, who
remained in her room on Christmas
eve and gently asked her daughters
to excuse her from being present at
the Christmas tree around which
her grandchildren we're gathered.
Her daughters became alarmed at
her condition g. sent for medical aid.
The deceased complained of slight
pain in her back only, but on Christ
mas day her condition became al
arming and 5 pm. she expired quiet
ly and without pain to join her be-
loved husband.
The late Mrs. Widemann was one
of the most respected of Hawaiian
women, She was about SO years of
age and a native of Kauai. Her
children are all prominent in Ha-
wall and their high characters and
universal standing in the commune
ty are an envial monument to the
good woman whose noble career has
ended.
Services were to be held at the
residence in San Francisco after the
embalming of the remains. The in
torment at the Catholic cemetery
was to be strictly private and when
the necessary arrangements have
been made the body will be brought
Honolulu.
During the last moments of the
decease there was present at her
bedside Mrs. G. o. Berger, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Maciarlane, Mr.. and Mrs
Chris Conradt, Miss Anna Wide.
mann, Herman Widemann and the
grandchildren now in San Francisco
Mr.. Carl Widemann, Mrs. j. M
Dowsett, Mrs. Henry Marfarlane
and Mrs. W. Law are the surviving
children in Honolulu and in their
sad affection they have the sincere
sympathy OF the whole country.

Tramp Shot at Midway.

Tuesday night about ten o'clock Mr.
John Sease, who lives ut Midway, heard
some intruder in his house. He called
out to know who it was, and receiving
no answer, called to his hrotherin-law
Mr.. Jim Dukes, who,was sleeping in an
other room, to shoot whoever 1t Was. AT
this the w0uld-be rOhber ran out of the
house and around the church, which is
lust across the street. Mr.. Dukes follow
ed, and, as the fellow came from behind
the building, fired on him with a gun
loaded with number four shot. The man
then ran on down to the branch near by,
where he was captured. He is white
man, and gave his name as Allen Jetlcoat
saying he was from the lower edge OF
Lexington county, next to OranSeburg'
1t appears that he is tramp, as he was
seen to leave a train at Midway Tuesday
without hat, and when captured he had
hat he had taken from Mr.. Sease's resi-
dence. Nothing else was missing.
He was brought to- Jail the same night,
and Sheriff Hunter summoned physician
to attend to his wounds. They are not of
a serious nature, as he was struck in the
right side of his face. Only a few shot
entered the flesh, most of the load passing g
him. He is not very communicative, and
will not talk about his presence in the
house, but has told his name and where
he is from. Jeffcoat will no doubt answer
to the charge of burglary and larceny ut
the July term of court.

The July DelineatOr.

There is a sensible article in the July
Delineator that will be read with pleasure
by troubled mothers. 1t relates to amuse-
ments for sick children 1t is the first
of series of articles along that line by
Lima Beard, the famous sister of the ia
nous cartoonist and author, Dan Beard.
Miss Boards volume, "The American
Girls Handy Book" has made her known
in thousands of American homes. In
issue of the Delineator there are more each
colored plates, more novelties in styles,
more articles of value and of interest to
women than in any other publication
devoted to fashions and home affairs, NO
matter what the price may be.
The yexed question as to whether
literary men make good husbands will
probably never be disposed of, as it needs
must be settled by individual cases, and
no two individuals are alike The crab
bed Carlyle and his high-strung Jane, the
latter undoubtedly dwarfed in her literary
product by her constant self-effacement
in the presence of her moody husband,
form the subject for Miss Laughlin's July
contribution to the Stories of Authors
Loves, appearing in the Delineator. She
gives pathos to the subject, lacking
with some of the harsher pens that have
treated it.

Shooting at timer.

Last Friday evening about dusk Mr.
John Smith, of Buford's Bridge, this
county, was shot by Mr.. John Harter, a
merchant at Timer. The weapon used
was a pistol, and Harter fired six times,
four of the bullets taking effect in the
groin and thigh.
The difficulty occurred at the home of
Mr.. Harter, at Ulmer. The two men are
brothers-in-law, both having married
daughters of the widow Platts. 1t seems
that Smith had gone to the home of Har-
ter for his little girl, and they were in the
buggy starting away when Harter came
home. The two men went off to one side
and got into quarrel, and Smith seized
stick or piece of scantling lying near
and knocked Harter down, who arose and
commenced shooting. Smith grasped his
pistol hand, and thereby kept the bullets
from entering his body. This accounts
for their taking effect in his lower limbs:
After the shooting Smith was removed
to the house of Mr.. Wilkerson, where he
now lies. The doctors, we understand,
are of the opinion that the wound in his
groin is serious one, but it is hoped it
will not prove fatal.
Facts as to the causes which led up to
the difficulty are hard to get, and we are
not sure that the details of the shooting
stated above are correct. However, it is
all we have been able to procure.

Out In In,iiana.

came into court wearing large poke
bonnet. Her answers to the questions
put to her being rather indistinct, the
court requested her to speak louder, but
without success.
"The court cannot hear word you say,
my good woman" said the judge. PLEASE
to take off that huge bonnet Of yours.
Sir" she said, composedly, the court
has right to bid gentleman take OH
his hat, but it has no right to make lady
remove her bonnet"
Madam" replied the Judge, you seem
so well acquainted with the law that |
think you had better come up and take a
seat with us ON the bench"
Il thank your honor kindly" she re-
sponded dropping low courtesy] to the
court, but there are old women enough

Assistant Professor Spahr.

HI. Spahr, Esq, young lawyer of
this city, has been elected assistant to
Prof. E. S. Joynes in history and modern
languages at the South Carolina College.
Mr.. Spahr graduated at the college few
years ago in both the literary and law
courses, and is we'll qualified for the posi-
ton. He is an exceptionally. light young
man, and while his many friends in Bam-
berg are sorry to have him leave here,
they are heartily glad of his election.
The State yesterday morning had the
following editorial paragraph in reference
to the election: The trustees of the
South Carolina College appear to have
chosen well in their selection of the tutors
in history and modern languages and also
the adjunct professor of ancient Ian
guages. 1t is especially gratifying to note
that from among the college alumni were
found men fitted for these positions.
Messrs. Spahr and McCutchen are both
graduates of the institution"
