street. One shot was fired by Gill from
a 3S-calibre revolver and the ball en-
tered Stevens leg just above the left
hip and is Still in the wound, as the
doctors could not find 1t by probing.
Unless unlocked for results follow the
search for the bullet this morning Stew
ems will recover. Gill gave himself up
at the police station about ten minutes
after the shooting and was put in a
cell.
He was released in an hour or so on
bail of $1,000 after being charged on
the prison books with assault and bat
terry with a deadly weapon.
The shooting was the outcome of an
article and editorial in yesterdays Re-
publican which reflected on the char
acter of women friends of Stevens. The
article and the editorial We're as fol-

BE CAREFUL HOW
YE EN1thrAIN STRANGERS.
Especially When The Strangers Are
Young Ladies Betrothed to Others
Far Away VINO trust Them.
1t would be wei IL certain young So
ciety men in Honolulu would remember
'cr words, just because certain young IA
dies from abroad are adopts at the art
OF making goo-g. o eyes, IL does MT Sig
Nifty that the aforesaid young men are
the only ones.
Now it has come to pass that there ere
certain young ladies' sojournng within
the gates of Honolulu who have made Il
nine-strike with several young men. The
latter for the time being have aid by
the ordinary duties of life, and are sit
ting up nights trying to think out nice
and novel ways for entertaining the
Mainland maidens. Bad as matters are
at the best, thele is one young man VINO
is fast losing his heart. The young lady
to whom he is paying particular atten-
ton seems SO appreciatiye, too. She up
braids him for his prodigality, and tells
the dear boy not to spend his money, IN
treats with him, implores, does every
thing, in fact, but refuse to accept his
attention. All this time the one young
man in particular is sunmindful of the
fact that even now in far away Los An
geles, the engraver is working on a plate
from which will soon be printed invita-
tons announcing the young lady's mar
riage to a wealthy young Angeleno. And
the gentleman in the land of sunshine,
fruit and tourists fondly thinks that his
beloved is behaving as demurely as
soon-t be -married young lady should.
The fair ones, when mildly reproached
for their actions, put up such an inno-
cent front that their wCu.d-be censo:s
have not the heart to criticize them. A
word of advice might not be out of place.
in passing, to the demosels. 1t is this.
When talking over your plans girls. don't
sit on the front piazza of your caravan
sary and deliberately make your pans
in such tone of voice that everyone
within radius of fifty feet knows eXact-
ly what you intend trying to do.
SHE'S POOLING THEE"
1t looks like a mighty mean thing to
do to "tip-off" another fellows game. but
The Republican really cannot see the
young men of the city devote their und-
vided attention to young ladies from the
Mainland of whom they have but little
knowledge. At one of the hotels there
are three young ladies' They are here
on visit. They are pretty and dainty
and accomplished, but the young men
who swarm about them are wasting
their time, for the ladies are all three
to be married very, very shortly. We
have this from an unimpeachable source
the young ladies themselves. For in
the exuberance of their spirits over the
jolly good tine they have been having in
this city they have taken nearly every
body in town into Their confidence except
the young men wuo are paying them
suit. We do not mean to say that the
young ladies have come to us and made
n heart heart confession of their lit
tie affairs, but the lanai OF the hotel rs
large and its acoustic properties have
considerably aided in the spreading Of
the news, by the careless, llght-hear:ed
way the girls have Of discussing what
Charley or Frank or Ben has done, or
viii do to make 1t pleasant for them,
GUST to think OF It," one Of the girls
said, land ! am 10 be married as soon
as | get home"
