GUITEAU,s WIDOW DEAD.

The widow Of CharlesJ. Gulteau oleo
recently at her home, in Omaha, where
she lived in retirement for years. In
that city she lad been known as AIRS
Anna B. Allen, and the fact that she
was the wife OF the assassin OF President
James A. Garfield had been kept so
secret that comparatively few persons
knew that the quiet Mrs. Allen figured
in ono of the greatest tragedies Oh
American history.
Throughout her Omaha residence,
Mrs. Allen persistently refused to talk
OF the nightmare period of her life. aud
it was only from, word now and then
dropped by her that the full story Is
known.
That is paSt; lot it rest was tho
usual way in which she was wont TO
parry any attempt to question her con-
corning Guiteau. The name OF Guiteau
does not appear on her gravestone.
Mrs. GuiLeau's maiden name was
Bum. While living in Freeport, H.,
she met Guiteau in 1877. Even III
those days Guitcau leaned toward an
archy and had peculiar ideas OF govern
ment. Concerning her courtshlp and
marriage Mrs. Allen was always retl-
cent. and even with her daughter, Mrs.
Williams. she never discussed those
days. That they were unhappy ones,
however, is known. But they did not
last long. Within two years from ;hc
wedding day Mrs. Guiteau obtained y
divorce on the plea 0; cruelty. Gu'teau
was subject to violent and terrible hts
OF temper.
After her divorce from Guiteau, Mrs.
Guiteau went TO Boulder. Col, where
she in 1SS9.marricd y prospector named
Dunmire. While the Dummies were
residing in Couldcr Tic news came that
President Garfield had been shot by
"Char.aS !. G,li:2au.
C1''I can easily believe that is my first
husband" Mrs. Dunmire is reported to
have said on that occasion. he IS
thoroughly capable OF tie deed. I"
Then came the long trial. in which
an attempt was made to prove mat tie
..ssassiu was insane Then the govern
ment played its bIg trump. Mrs DUE
m,rc wa> called TO the witness stand
She told OF The years She had lived with
iui,eau. told oi his violent temper and
OF his auarchstic ideas.
While Guiteau awaited his death his
erstwhilc wife busted herself in the wei
fare of his soul. She brought him i
Bible and did What she could to bring
about his repentance.
In 1856 Mrs. Dunmire aud her hus-
band separated and she obtained . di-
yorce. She married Enoch Allen IN
Chicago. Again there was a separa-
ton, and Mrs. Allen moved to Omaha.
Five years ago she got q divorce from
Mr.. Allen.

MERRY DEL VAL
MAY QUIT soon

ROME, Italy, July 1.-THE conflict
between the Vatican and Spain has
reached a most acute stage and the
chances of a peaceful solution seem
small. Thes corresponding of The
Daily News is informed authoritative
ly CHAT the pope greatly regrets the
1tate of affairs + anda desires
to settle the controversy, even at the
cost Of heavy sacrifices. Cardinal Merry
del Val, however, insists that a policy
shall be followed to prove that the
holy see does not intend to allow
Premier Canalejas' threats to in
fuence the adoption of measures
deemed necessary to safeguard the
dignity and to protect the interests of
the church.
Rumors of the resignation of Cardi-
nal Merry del Val as secretary of
state are persistent and it is asserted
by those we'll informed on Vatican af.
fairs that the pope has had several in,
terviews with him on the subject, be-
sides talks with other cardinals AS
the result of the conferences it has
been decided that Merry del Val shall
remain at least until the actual crisis
has passed.
No other cardinal is willing to as
sumo the office just now, but Cardinal
Rampolla is said by his friends tC
have the best chance of winning the
place.

ANOTHER PLEA FOR
TANTALUS ROAD

People having summer homes on
Tantalus feel strongly that the powers
that be should, at this season of com
paratively dry weather, repair the
road leading to the top Of the noun
tain. They claim that the work can
now be done at moderate expense;
and that the increase in taxation va
luations, to say nothing Of the con
venience of the public-would moro
than Offset the outlay.
Just now Tantalus is the resort Of
many Honolulu people. The schools
are out for the summer vacation, and
children are being taken up there for
their holiday season. The road up to
the region of summer homes is in a
very bad condition. Chuck holes have
formed here and there, and in nu'uer-
Gus other places the road has been
damaged by washing"
This statement was made this morn.

tain side. Continuing he said;
'rhe county is in position to put
this load in good shape at small ex-
pense. A gang of prisoners could do
up the job in short order, and could
keep the road in excellent shape with
little trouble.
Not only would the improvement
be of immense advantage to people
having homes up there, but the in.
) crease in property valuation by virtue
of a good road would more than repay
the government for the outlay. Many
people who do not now take an inter
est In Tantalus would acquire homes
up there if the road were in proper
condition.
at seems to me that the public ant
the county officials have not taken a!
keen an interest in this matter as it:
Importance deserves. The people ar;
seeking the higher levels more an,
more in the warm seasons, and tn,
only drawback to Tantalus is the roa,
referred to. Give us q road, an
Tantalus will become a suburb O
which the city will soon feel extreme

STEVENS TO BRING

en-, general labor agent in the Philip

for use in the gathering of laborers
at out of the way parts of the southern
islands. To your correspondent he
said:
During the twelve months that we
have been getting Filipino laborers
for ,ne Hawaiian sugar fields 5000
have been recruited at SIS U. S. c. per
month and up. Within the next three
years we expect to get 1900 more
at the same terms.

Gus, prosperous and contented. On
many plantations they have put out
their small yards in flowers and vege-
tables They have time for home i'm

plantation bank deposits. Some plant
ers say that the Filipinos are the best
laborers they ever had. All agree
that they are satisfactory and come

as a result of which the prohibition
lists will agree not to renew their fight
against the saloons in two years.
Pioneer stock was 1925 bid and
$2275O asked.
There is a well developed agitation
on, having as its object the cutting of
/ ioneer stock from 500 to $40 par.
Brokers and small investors are be-
hind the movement. Some of the
larger stockholders and directors have
expressed themselves as favorable to
the change, but there is some opposi.
ton to it, the reason given being that
it will give rise to an enormous and
Objectionable lot OF speculation. In
all probability, however, the propO
nenls of the cut will win out in the
end. Pioneer is up against a PROPOSE
ton of paying an extra dividend al
the end of this year or carrying an un
usually heavy balance over to next
year. The extra dividend viii likely
be decided upon.
