We have always maintained that while gossip
about the masters of literature is bound sooner
or later to cease there can never be end TO
the publication of StevensOniana. The fate of
that charming romancer is fixed Some one
must always ne talking about him. preferably
along personal lines. Another contribution Of
the usual sort looms upon the horizon. Mr..
Edmund Gosse who is editing the ''Pentland
Edition" Of his old friends works makes in one
of his notes this portentous revelation: Mrs.
Stevenson has been told. what she believes
TO be good native authority that the Queen [of
Hawaii kept notes in her diary of all that
Stevenson said in their daily conversations and
that after her death this interesting manuscript
will be published" 4 commentator in the Lon
don Sketch" pertiDcntly asks. 'Why should
Queen in Hawaii show such delcacy about pub
fishing in her lifetime? Let her come to
Europe TO be hide hardened She need not

now there dauntless souls on their

her difficult at the outset. She probably knows
little of the modern literary body -snatcher But

They will show her how provincial and in

tude and thorouehness where the publication of

Gus girl friends OF the principals in
the fierce fstic encounter that result
ed in the arrest OF Miss Boyer on a
warrant sworn out by Miss Wilson,
as stated in the Sentinel yesterday.
Miss Wilson was naturally the
leading witness for the prosecution
She stated that she was going home
from her work at Pats laundry on
last Friday afternoon late when Miss
I Boyer came up to her near the Boyer
house on struthers avenue and said;
Alice Wilson you have been talk

MED the allegation. Miss Boyer con-
tinued: YES you talked about me TO
Mrs. Johnson Then. according to
Miss Wilson Miss Boyer struck her on
The head and Miss Wilson struck Miss
Boyer with her dinner pail then fol-
lowed a most animated exchange OF
blows. Miss Wilson claimed that Miss
Boyer struck her in the eye. "oh,
1 don't know how many times" She
said she broke loose and started to
run but that Miss Boyer caught her
and continued to beat her. She fin
ally got away and went home crying
and suffering much pain.
Miss Wilson created considerable
amusement by her demonstratiye
and decisive way of testifying but
She was mistaken by cross exam
nations.
\ young lady employed in the
Laundry where Miss Wilson and Miss
Boyer both worked swore that she
heard Miss Boyer say that about a
month ago that she would pound
hell out of Alice Wilson. "

answered her roughly and suddenly
struck her on the head with her din
ner pail. She admitted that she
then struck Miss Wilson several times
She contended that Miss Wilson
struck the first blow.
Several other witnesses were ex-
amined on both sides. including sis
ters of Miss Wilson and of Miss Boy
es and neighbors OF the two famil-
/ les.
There were various sharp tits be-
tween the attorneys.
It was never brought out just what
slanderous remarks Miss Wilson was
accused of making regarding Miss
