Rxrne,n CondItion Precnriou.,


 Edward Byrne, the young railroad train fagman who was last night shot by desperate negroes on his train near Demopolis. was today brought to his home in this city. His condition is precarious, and the physicians hold out little hope of his recovery
 Three negroes, one of whom it is said shot Byrne, have been apprehend- ed and are now in the Demopolis jail. Byrne was brought to Selma at noon today and taken to a hospital, where he is being attended by surgeons. He was shot in the neck, the bullet for tunately for its victim, passing be- tween the jugular vein and the wind pipe. The bullet was not located to- day but its lodgment is said to be in the back of the neck. This gives the attending surgeons a little hope for the young mans recovery.
 Byrne was shot late yesterday by q negro passenger on the Southern Rail road train with whom he had quar- reled. The negro had boarded the train with two companions and had refused to pay his fare. A dispIte ensued, 1t Is said, and the negro cursed Byrne, who struck him. At Demopo- lis the negro alighted. and when on the ground shot the flagman. Byrne Is we'll known and popular, in Selma where he has resided many years. He Is son of E. NJ. Byrne.

HIS NARROW ESCAPE
NEGROES WANTED TO LYNCH ONE
 OF THEIR OWN RACE.
Robert Warner, Confessed Rapist, is Saved From Hands of Mob by Justice of the Peace
 John F. Burns.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, April 23.
 One of the most revolting crimes in the history of this county came to light here when Robert Warner, a negro rapist, was brought to Selma and placed in the county jail for safe-keep- ing.
 For criminally assaulting a young negro girl named Polly Garner near Burnsville Saturday Warner barely es- capped hanging by mob of negroes whose efforts were thwarted by Jus tice of the Peace John F. Burns, who stood guard all Saturday night over the negro. Sunday morning he was hurried to the Selma jail, where he is now confined.
 The crime with which Warner is charged and which he confesses he perpetrated. was horrible. Alluring the 1O-year-old daughter of one of the most respectable negro families of that vicinity to a lonely spot near Burns vile Town, Warner committed most dastardly assault on her. It Is said that the girl now lies almost at the point of death.
 As soon as Warner released her from his clutches she ran to the community in which she lived and told of the ne- gro's crime. Soon the entire negro population, according to reliable re- ports brought to Selma, was up in arms and Warner was captured in less than a mile of where he assaulted the young negress.
 The negroes wanted to lynch Warner. but the counsel of Justice John F. Burns prevented a second crime He took charge of the negro and confined him in store building. All night long negroes prowled about the store talking of hanging Warner to a tree, but Justice Burns kept watch through out the night and when the excitement had subsided the next morning he brought Warner to Selma.
 Warner Is said to live at Randolph. He admits that he committed criminal assault on the Gardner girl.

glass of cocoa-nut water on his way
to his bungalow nearly every evening
while he was in Office, and the little
place he named Cocoa-nut Inn still
fiourishes.
! The streets of Honolulu are always
picturesque in the matter of dress.
There is every variety of costume
from the Mother Hubbard to the mod
ern dress of the smart American wom-
an. You can see the natives nearly
every morning riding on horseback
one behind another with garlands
around their heads. There are young
kanaka girls exposing brown feet,
bright teeth, and bare legs; dainty
little Japanese women clanking along
on their wooden sandals, and soft
slippered Chinese girls wearing the
bright silks that are the pride OF the
Orient.
The most unusual thing to which
the American woman in Hawaii must
aecuStom herself is the mixture of
blood she encounters On every hand.
The natives have intermarried with
almost every nationality. Englishmen,
Americans and Germans have taken
native girls for wives. The natives also
intermarry with the Chinese to a great
extent. The reason they give is that
the Chinaman makes good provider.
However, the Celestial has an I'M
pleasant way of going home as soon
as he becomes wealthy, and he in
variably leaves his Hawaiian family
behind. A notable example of this was
in the Along family. Mr.. Along was
a fu1l-blooded Chinanan who married
a Hawaiian girl. A number of sons
and daughters blessed the union. and
in the course of time the father be-
came so wealthy that he was said to
be many times a millionaire. Then
Mr.. Along yearned for China. After
settling large sums of money upon his
wife and each of his children he took
his departure for the land of his ma
tivity. For years the beautiful home
of Mrs. Along was besieged by mar
riageable young men of all classes and
her daughters one after the other be-
came the wives of white men.
HAWAIIAN A PROUD RACE.
The pride of birth which exists
among the Hawaians is often a matter
of establishment to Americans. An
example of this was given recently
when the governor of Hawaii invited
a prominent native to dinner. An
American who was very close to the
Hawaiian family was approached and
asked if he thought the invitation
could be accepted without the loss of
dignity, as the native did not con-
slider the governors family on an
with his own. This is only
one of many instances showing the
excessive pride of birth which char
acterizes the Hawaiian race. They /
have dark skins but woe betide any
one who presumes to classify them as
negroes. 1t would be a dangerous
thing for any one in Hawaii to at
tempt to draw what is known as the
''color-line'' in the United States.
There is no such thing here. Not long
ago, while Prince Cupid, the Hawaiian
delegate to Washington, was taking
a pleasure trip in Canada, a man on

the street sneeringly referred to him
as niger and was promptly
knocked down. That is the way they
feel about it.
The natives hold undisputed sway
in Honolulu society. Doubtless the
most conspicuous figure is the Princess
Kawananakoa, wife of Prince David
who is a nephew of ex-Queen Liliuo-
kalani. The Princess is a charming
woman of unusual beauty. Her father
was a Scotchman and her mother a
native. She is twenty-one years old
and has two children. Aside from be-
ing one of the most accomplished ladies
on the island, she has a fortune of sew

COURT OF Ex-QUEEN LII,

Queen Liliuokalani, Notwithstanding
her reinforcement, is one of the most
! important figures in Hawaii today. In
| the United States there seems to be a
tendency to laugh at the deposed
queens pretentions. but come out here
and laugh if you dare. Her home is
a big square house built after the
plantation residences of the South,
and it is beautifully furnished. She
receives in state with the two prin-
cesses always at her side. Two cham
berlains in black broadcloth with
tall silk hats and futtering white
rosettes attached to their coats, are
stationed at each door. Your name is
taken by one and another conducts you
into the presence of the queen. If she
knows you intimately she will bow and
say a few pleasant words, but if you
are a stranger she will nod to you
graciously and the ceremony is ended
by your backing out of the room the
best way you can.
One of the peculiarities of the Ha-
waiian women is a sense of serious
ness. There is always an element of
sadness in their demeanor. You can
not be f1ippant with them because
certainly resent it. I travelled on the
same steamer from San Francisco to
Honolulu with Prince Cupid and his
wife, and the reserved attitude of Mrs.
Cupid was matter of general COM
ment. She hardly smiled more than
twice during the whole six days
PAsTIMES OF THE ISLAND.
There are many ways of passing
the time in Hawaii. The climate is
considered enervating but the Ameri-
can woman overcomes it by exercise.
Tennis is very popular and a large
golf club is we'll patronized. Base
ball is a regular Saturday afternoon
attraction and all classes join in the
fun of watching the great American
game. Surf-boating is a sport pecu-
liar to Honolulu and strangers are al
ways enthusiastic over it. There are
many automobiles owned here and this
form of sport is much in vogue.
1t is said that social conditions are
rapidly changing in the capital of our
island possession. Formerly the Amer
lean girl of good character, be she
school teacher, clerk. or stenographer,
was given entree to the best circles,
but the number of resident Americans
has now become so great that the lines
are being drawn more closely and fac
tons are being established.
POEM BY STEVEN
SON.
But the islanders are really great
entertainers. They have had many
famous people as their guests. Robert
Louis Stevenson spent some time here |
He was the guest of Mr.. Archibald
C1eghorn, a Scotchman who married
into the royal family of Hawaii in the
days of the monarchy. His little |
laughter, the Princess Kaiulani. would |
have been the natural successor of |
Queen Lii, the present incumbent. |
stevenson became greatly attached to |
he little princess and visited her con-
'tantly. When it was determined that
she should make a visit to Scotland
lie wrote the following verse and ex-
olanation in her album:
