Woman Kept Light 80 Years.

For thirty eight years a woman has
kept the light off Santa Barbara. The
lighthouse is situated about two miles
southwest of Santa Barbara on a low
point of land, the light being 17S feet
above the sea. The tower rises from the
center of a small white building with
the usual red roof and green shutters,
with tiny porch opening toward the
sea.
The building was erected in 1856 and
its first keeper was Albert j. williams,
the husband of Mrs. Julia F. Williams,
the present keeper. He received his ap-
pointment when Franklin j. Pierce was
President. The light is a fixed white of
the first order, and may be seen seven
teen miles at sea. Just as the Civil War
was closing in 1866 Mrs Williams was
appointed keeper in place of her hus-
band. who had died, and she has had
the longest service of any keeper on
the coast.
Mrs. Williams has been away from
her post but two nights in twenty-sev-
en- years. and does not go away in the
daytime save on Sunday, when she
rides into town to attend the Congre-
gationaI Church, of which she has long
been a member The family came orig
inally from Maine. When they came
to the lighthouse in 1856 Mr.. and Mrs.
Williams had two little daughters, and
while there two sons were born to them
and one child died.-Los Angeles Times.

SHOT DOWN IN THE STREET.
Henry Smith Fires Two Bullets Into
j. r. McCann.

d. II. McSann.
Joseph r. McCann, a stonecutter,
was shot twice and probably fatally
wounded by Henry Smith. worthless
character, at Taylor and Eddy streets
shortly after o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. They had begun a quarrel
in "a nearby saloon. but Smith was or
dered out. McCann, waited in the sa-
loon for a quarter of an hour, think
ing that Smith might go away, but
McCann found Henry Smith and a
brother, Fred Smith, waiting for him.
According to bystanders, Smith
drew his revolver after a number Of
hot words and McCann closed on him
and tried to pinion his arms. But
Smith fired twice, one bullet piercing
a lung and the other entering the abb
domen. The infuriated Smith tried to
shoot again, but Andrew Roberts, a
spectator, ran up and wrested the
weapon from him.
The quarrel in the saloon is said to
have started over some statements al
legged to have been made by McCann
ducts a shady resort at lis Mason
street 1t appears that the McCann
and Smith families lived together a
number of years ago and bitter feel
ing arose between them.
1t is said that the victim has a fair
chance of recovery. To the police
Smith said his memory was an utter
blank as to what had occurred. He
has bad reputation. being an asso-
ciate of depraved men and women of
his class.

HOW TO IMPROVE
YOUR SECKEL PEAR
Its Size May Be Greatly Increased
by Proper System Of
Graftiug

Grating.
If the Seckel pear We're ever as big
as it is good what a bouncer it would
be, writes correspondent of the Agri-
culturist. Exceedingly sweet, rich
favored and melting, it's one great
defect is lack of size. 1t is the aim Of
every grower to raise the largest speci-
mems possible, for it is size that takes
the premium every time. Some time
ago an old nurseryman let me into the
secret q raising extra-sized Seckels
and as the information was given
without any promise of secrecy being
exacted, my brother farmers are well
am ready personally to indorse it, for
/ have not as yet made a test of it,
though intending to do so.
IF you want size in your Seckels,' %
said the old gentleman. bud them into
top branches of a Beurre Hardy tree
and you will be sure to get it," He
gave me no reason why the Hardy
should be especially selected for this
purpose. Assuming that it was be-
cause it impaired some of its vigorous
growth into the slow-growing Seckel,
then one might suggest why not an
ticipate as good results If either of
those rank growers. Anjou or Diel,
were selected as the mother tree? Of
course, one cannot find in a nursery
catalogue Seckels advertised as having
been worked into the tops of the
Hardy, but l suppose it would not be
an impossible thing to find a nursery
man who, at reasonable price for his
extra trouble, would breed and supply
them on order.-Baltimore American.
