COLLEGE WIDOW
COLLEGE ATHLETES

Football, of course, plays very i'm
portant part in The College Widow -
Jack Larrabbe, the coach, working his
hardest to have the team win and, in
cidentally to win Jane, does his work
well. Billy Bolton, the great half
and Jane for, himself, has the admira-
ton OF the entire college.
Matty MCGOWAN, the trainer, always
looking out for the welfare of the
team, and his suit with Flora Virgins,
furnishes much of the comedy of the
play.
Old Elam Hicks. State Senator, and
his son 'Bub" Hicks, from the coun-
try, are "a laughable pair, and have
lots of funny scenes and situations.
The town marshal, Mr. Tibbets, is on
deck at all times to preserve order.
which he fails to do after the college
crowd finish with him.
Stub Talmage, a busy undergradu-
ate, is into all sorts of affairs, and
manages to keep pretty busy. Hiram
Bolton, Billy's father, wealthy Wes-
tern railroad man, has his good scenes
and lots of action all through the play
Silent Murphy, the center rush, who
has been drafted into the football team
from the foundry, isn't at all at home
in a dress suit, and his shoes are al
ways hurting him.
Ollie Mitchell, whose great depend
ence on the influence of The Widow"
is phenomenal; Tom Pearson, fine
football player; Jimsey Hopper, Dick
McAllister, and all the rest of the col
lege boys are always in evidence.
The football team, the pride and hope
of Atwater, come in for their share OF
and there isn't a charac-
ter in the whole cast that doesn't ma
teriallv help to round out a finished
production.

MATERNITY
HOSPITAL
Valuable Changes in
Equipment OF
Home.

With the addition of more beds for
the Hawaiian pay ward and the cree
ton of a rev building for infectious
| cases, should there be any, the Kapio-
lani Maternity Home is now one of
the most complete hospitals in Homo
are now provided for patients. AL
though the Hawaiian Government is
supplying considerably less funds now
than in the past. the hospital or home
is making rapid strides and is today a
complete, up-to-date, sanitary and
comfortable maternity retreat.
A new office has just been completed.
This occupies the end of what was
formerly the Eva end of the front
veranda. 1t has been enclosed and the
interior is treated as all of the rooms
are = tongue and-groove boards ana
stained. From this comfortable office
Miss Elizabeth Dutot, the matron, di-
reefs the affairs of the institution.
,.'he room formerly used in the main
building for an Office now forms part
of the Hawaiian pay ward and three
additional beds have been added
through this addition. This relieves
the congestion somewhat as the Ma
ternity Home is becoming more and
more popular. and especially in the last
four years since Miss Dutot has raised
the home to a thoroughly up-to-date
establishment
The government funds maintain the
Hawaiian free ward. The remainder
of the home the Hawaiian pay ward,
in which are several beds, and the pri
vate rooms for Hawaiians and for
eigners, is maintained by the receipts
therefrOm.
TIL. new hospital for infectious cases
arising from births is erected in the
Maternity Home premises, but some
distance from the main building. 1t is
a pretty structure and is finished in
side as are the main buildings. There
is room for patients, bath room, con-
tainer for washing clothing in chem
icals, nurses room, wide verandas.
telephone to main building, complete
kitchen, etc. There will be no contact
of persons or things between these two
houses.
The Maternity Home is kept scrupu-
lousy clean, and owing to the finish of
the walls. floors and ceilings they can
be washed off at intervals. The in
terror finish is completely in shellacked
wood and patients do not have to en-
dure counting spots, circles squares
and rosebuds in papered walls and
ceilings as is often the case in such
Institutions.
The Maternity Home is also provided
with a baby incubator and this has
proven a success.

Everything is necessary.
The newspaper business is the most

have reservoir of vitality to stand
the killing strain of intense labors
squeezed into a short compass of time.
Second. the beginner must have what
is known as ''the nose for news" It
is difficult to describe this faculty-us-
ually born in one. 1t is the ability to
see "a story" where others stumble

are fundamentals. To them must be
added untiring industry, the tenacity
of a sleuth to follow a lead, accuracy
in judgment, ability to make and keep

A ROMANCE OF MAGNOLIA,
Wealthy Yale Graduate Who Works
In His Fathers Foundry.
New York Herald.

I've" 1Ork I1cfalQ.
DR.. Franklin Farrell, of Ansonia,
Conn.,, young Yale graduate who
works in the foundry of his father
will wed III the autumn, Miss Mamie
Vincent Brown, the daughter of D.
Austin Brown. The announcement of
this interesting event came Saturday
from Magnolia, where Mr.. Brown
and his family are spending the sum-
mer. Mr.. Farrell's engagement fol-
lows quickly the announcement of
that of his sister, Miss Elsie Farrell
to George Cows, a former Yale var
sity guard.
In spite of his education and fami-
ly wealth, Mr.. Farrell at the con-
clusion of his college course elected
to go into his fathers foundry and
there work in jumpers and overalls
at laborer's wages. He argued that
every leader in the industrial world
should know the fundamentals of his
specially.
He said in further explanation -
"eWalth is no excuse for idlencsS. I
could have gone into the office with
my father if | had preferred that,
but II don't believe that the most
important factor in this industrial
age is growing how to keep books
straight. | believe that America s
amazing industrial development is
due to the fact that we have the best
men in the foundries and at the fur
naces and over the f0rges and the
lathes.'
His sister, Miss Elsie Farrell,
| came to somewhat similar conclu-
sions and went into the woman's de-
partment and there performed con-
scientious service for the wages of
So a week.
| Outside the business hours, of
course, the borther and sister were
prominent members of AnsOnia So
ciety.
Mr.. Farrell met Miss Brown in
Magnolia last season. He continued
his suit during the winter in Boston,
where with her family, she lived at
the Buchminster, and early in the
summer began TO neglect his factory
for the greater charms of Magnolia.

TWICE A WEEK. 81. so A YEAR
The Jones-Brunson Difficulty.

Going back to the difficulty be-
tween Candidate A. C. Jones, Of New
berry, and Mr.. Joel +. Brmson, both
of whom are running for governor as
Prohibitionists, the trouble between
these men seems to be Of long stand
ing. Mr. Jones has been criticising
Mr.. Brunson day after day as the
campaign progressed. He has become
very much wrought up at times, and
some laughing remark from Mr.. Brun-
son to-day about, CLONES, you are as
crazy as bees in Il barrcl,' seems to
have brought on the personal encoun-
ter.
Mr.. Jones was speaking at the time.
Mr. Brunson was standing down in tho
audience, at the foot of the stand.
When Mr.. Jones finished he left the
stand and, unobservcd, walked up to
Mr.. Brunson. Persons standing near
say that Jones said something about
Brunson having personally insulted
him more than once, and it had to
stop or be settled. 10 this Mr. Brun-
son replied that it could be settled
then and there. Instantly Jones lift
ed his right hand, shifting Brunson on
the left cheek. SO violent was the
blow that il could be heard throughout
the crowd.
Great confusion followed. The
crowd of nearly thousand people
surged about the two principals, while
somebody yelled for the police. The
candidates and newspaper men gath
cred on the stands surged toward the
corner where the encounter took place,
and the structure began to sway
Realizing that there might be a crash
everybody went back to their places
and the structure remained intact.
Policeman Kitchen and another Of
ficer arrived on the scene about this
time, and Mr.. Jones was arrested and
taken from the grounds. He was ac-
companied by Col Henry II. Thomp-
son, and with the officer the men ell
terd hack and were driven to the
police station. There Mr.. Jones' 5 bond
was arranged and he was released.
In view Of the fact that Mr.. Brun-
son had but one arm and from what
occurred at the GrccnvilIc gathering,
Mr.. Jones seeming more inclined to
attack Mr.. Brlnsnn : political record
than that Of anybody else, sentiment
in Grccnvillc is strong against the
man from Ncwberly. The print Of
Mr.. .Jones'S fingers were plainly Wis.,
iblc on Mr.. Brunson s cheek.

Rutherfordton Sun.
The movements of the engineering
forces of the South & Western are
still veiled with mystery and the only
thing which promises to clear up the
situation soon is the promised pres
ence the last of the week of more con-
tractors, of whom there were a few
here last week, at which time it is
said that the construction from Mar
ion to this point will be let. Two
parties have recently been put in the
field below here, both of them in
South Carolina, one north of Gaff-
ney, and the other near Yorkville.
These parties will make preliminary
surveys for new route, and it seems
from this move that the officials of
the road are considering a plan by
which they will tap tho main line of
the Seaboard Air Line direct without
striking the Atlantic Coast Line at
Spartanburg.

llabana, Aug. 22.-Thc insurgents
in the province of Pinar del Rio cap
turcd their first city there today. At
8 o'clock this morning the force led
by pino Guerra, an cX-congressman
and an influential man, and who was
thought to be many miles eastward,
and sundry Sther insurgent bands at
tack l[ed San Luis, which is situated
on the railroad about 10 miles west
of Pmar da Rio city. A sharp and
decisive engagement followed, during
which a number Of men were killed or
wounded. The town was defended by
less than 100 rural guards, 80 Of
whom surrendered to the insurgents
and are held as prisoners. The in
surgents forces are in possession of
the railroad station and of the town
which is resuming its normal condi-
tion. BY the capture of San Luis,
which has about 10000 inhabitants,
the insurgents have obtained an i'm

CUBA HAS UPPERHAND
SAYS GEN. RODRIGUEZ

Habana, Aug 22.-Gen Rodriguez,
commander Of the rural guard, tonight
after relating the incidents of the
day, said to the Associated Press:
"You can tell the American people
that Cuba is entirely competent to
cope with the insmrection. The flood
of rurnors in all directions about the
organization of insurrectionary bands
in great numbers are not borne out by
our reports, or, so far as, can be learn
ed, by the facts.
"The result of the encounter at
San Luis is still not known definitely.
The much talked of movement in
Santa Clara province has not been
encountered, and no insurrectionists
have been seen there bv.o forces.
owe have today equipped and sent
out in various directions 300 volun-
tcers under competent Officers. We
have plenty of Remingtons and am
munition for all who enlist at pres
ent and more have been ordered from
the United States.'
While the foregoing is typical Of
the utterances of the government Of
ficals, there are evidences of threat
ening increases in the number of in
Surrectionists. In the province of
Santa Clara the disaffection is wide
spread, and in the province of Ha-
bana great many people are in SYM
pathy with the insurgents. In some
eases whole communities appeared to
have been carried away by the re-
crudescence Of insurrectionary. The
extent to which this will lead to
open rebellion is still uncertain.
A gentleman who has returned from
Aeuarate, where he spent several days
stated to the Associated Press this
evening that as many as 800 men,
most of them armed. were riding
about the vicinity proclaming insur
rectionary ideas. The principal event
today was the fighting at San Luis:
One hundred recruits were started
westward this evening on board spe-
cal train, but it is not likely that
they will be permitted to reach San
Luis.
A detachment Of 100 recruits on the
way to Guines had a slight encoun-
ter today with insurgents but no one
on either side was hurt.
