LONDON, July 1.—Beatrice Grim- shaw, the young Irish author who has been roaming around aloné. in the| South Seas for the last two vears, in| search of literary material seems °to | have run across the real thing in the | way of adventures. She has just re- turned to London to fimish a book or two, and will then return to Fiji. Just before she salled, she succeeded in slipping into a native devil temple on Mallicollo, one of the New . Hebrides group, an island populated by a very manllke and treacherous cannibal race. These temples are Bluebeard chambers to all. women, being strictly forbid- den to the gentler sex. Any native| woman who broke the law would be | killed and eaten immediately; and no| exception would probably be made for | a white woman, if she were caught. Miss Grin'shew, however, was lucky | enough to find a temple ungugrded, | save by one or two old women out- side. She made her way In,-and saw | T\ ON VAN NESS AVENUE.

THAWS TO LEAVE PITTSBURG. | | Mother of Tombs Prisoner Beloved by the Poor of the City. PITTSBURG, July 1.—Pittsburg will never again know “Saint Mary,” as | Mrs. Willlam Thaw is generally known té her friends. Some persons who ob- jected .to Mrs. Thaw dominating Pitts- burg society have spitefully called her “Lady Thaw,” but as “Saint Mary” she [18" better known, and, while she has been canonized by no church, she has earned the title fairly. No project for the betterment of the community has | ever appealed to her in vain. Shé has | always been especlally interested in work for the children of the poor and her contributions to church work have | been enormous. | Mrs. Thaw belongs to the Third Pres- | byetrian Church, one of the most fash- ionable in Pittsburg. For years she | wes the largest contributor to its sup- | port and the magnificent church re- | cently erected was buflt largely with her money. For this bullding she or- dered two magnificent art windows portraying “The Holy City,” which cost $20,000.* She did not like them in some details and had changes made which aid not please her. The windows are now lying in the basement of the church and - the ‘firm that made the | changes brought suit before a settle- | ment was effected. That the Thaws will never return Pittsburg to live is admitted by all| lto | was askedto assist. | no ‘money, but wanted to help. | Thompson, widow of a Pittsburg bank. Victim of Avengers First Strangled and Then Incinerated. CHICKASHA, 1. T.,, July 1.—A negro who committed a criminal assault upon | the 16-year-old daughter of Ira Rob- ertson, near Womack, was captured last night, and, after being taken back to the s and burned. He confessed his corime and- offered no resistance to the mob. To one person the negro gave his name Clift Mays of Marshall, Texas, | while he told another that he was Will Newbright of San Antonio. E > time the hegro was overtaken near Bradley last night 400 men had joined in the chase, and soon after the capture the march~ to Womack was begun. It was nearly 3 o'clock this morning when the Robertson home was reached and the negro was taken before his victim. “That's the one” said she at once, and the negro replied: “Yes, lady, I'm the one. Gentlemen, I admit the crime.” The mob then proceded with its vie- tim past the spot where he had com- mitted the crime and to a tree on the road on the bank of Walnut Creek. A rope was thrown over a limb about | elghteen feet high and the other end knotted abput the man's neck. He was | given an opportunity to speak and again confessed his guilt. vent prayer to God for forgiveness he was drawn into the alr to die by strangulation. Before life was extinct the body was lowered to the ground. Legs and brush were heaped upon it and the mass ig- | nited. For a moment the body writhed, a few groans were heard and the flames completed their work. Two hours later teh charred corpse was burled under the same tree, under the direction of a deputy marshal from Purcell, who had been thwarted in his effort to take the negro from the mob. the friends of the family. Lyndhurst, the handsome town mansion of Mrs. Thaw,, will be retained, but plans are now being prepared to build houses on the large grounds surrounding it. Mrs. Thaw's marriage was a Tro- mantic one, Willlam Thaw's first wife was the daughter of Professor Lee of Washington College, later merged with Jefferson College and becoming Wash- ington and Jefferson University. professor belonged to the The first Mrs. Thaw died in the early sixtles. At that time Joseph Copley was the chief editor on the Pittsburg Gazette, and gained national reputation by his vigorous editorials on the slavery ques- tion and other problems that resulted in the Civil War. His daughter, then as now Interested in good works, eked out her father's income and earned pin°money and something for charity by sewing occasionally for friends and neighbors. % When Pittsburg started its famous sanitary fair to raise funds for the care of wounded soldiers every one Mary Copley had She. had a gold ring that belonged to her dead mother and she felt that no better use could be made of the treasured memento than to give it to her country. She sent the ring to the fair, where it was the prize for a raffle. William Thaw heard of the incident, obtained' an introduction to Mary Cop- ley and in a few months married her. The children of the first marriage were Benjamin, whe died some years ago; Alexander Blair Thaw, who is a scientist simply for the love of science, and lives in London; Mrs. W. R. er and philanthropist, who died in a private hospital in New York two weeks ago, anti Edward Thaw. The children of the present Mrs. Thaw are Harry Kendall, now charged with murder; Josiah ‘Copley; Margaret, who married George Tudor Carnegie, | nephew of Andrew Carnegle; Alfce, Countess of Yarmouth, and Eliza, | widow of George B.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. NEWPORT, R. L, July 1.—Not since the notorious monkey dinner, originat- ed and executed by the fertile brain of Harry Symes Lehr, has Newport been given such a bit of spley anticipation as in the announcement that the famed cotillon leader and inventor of social | diversions for the smart set has been engaged by Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish to direct a Fourth of July dinner and dance at the opening of her “short sea- son at the Crossways.” For a week Newport has been lving with its ear to the ground for'the details of this affair. | It was given out at the very start that it would possess the merit of original- ity. Only today, since the invitations have been received by the elect of the col- ony, has it become knowm what Mr. Lehr planned and Mrs. Fish accepted. It is to be a “bathing suit” costume af- fair. All the guests will be attired in bathing suits. These costumes, and none other, are to be worn at the dance. Newport dressmakers are already busy designing weird and fantastic garbs for the nymphs of America’s high society who will be Mrs. Fish's guests. According to those from whom infor- mation can be obtained, there is to be notning decidedly shocking in the cos- tumes. “The dresses are to be long, with shor. sleeves, and cuffs, collars and four-in-hand ties are to be provided,” says one of Newport's elect, who pro- fesses to be puzzled as to just what sort of a pattern to direct her dress- maker to cut from. This is the first real sensation New- porters have had this season, which up to date hus been one of the dullest in years. However, for a time at least, the | bathing costume affair promises to di- vide the small talk of the community with the animated discussion of the weather and the ills to which the Pitts- burg millionaire cc¢lony is heir. It | promises another social sensation of more than usually interesting possi- bility. | e L h NERSTONE COMPOSED OF CEMENT AND CINDERS com | | Duke and Duchess of Aosta Assist in Dedication of Village Below Mount Vesuvius. NAPLES, July: 1—The Duke and Duchess of Aosta and the local officials ascended Mount Vesuvius today to lay the cqrnerstone of the new village of Ottajaho. The affalr was marked by great enthusiasm, a large number of residents ‘of San Guiseppe, Somma, Santa Anna ard other villages dam- aged by the eruption of the volcano last April witnessing the ceremony. |* The weather, however, was unfayor- | able, there being a heavy rainstorm, with lightning and thunder, and the heat was oppressive.

At another time, she | penetrated several milles into the un- known interior and saw an idol-dance in a cannibal town never before visited. On another Island, a cannibal feast took place during Miss Grimshaw's visi a mile or tfvo from the house where stayed. The victim was a woman hose husband killed her “because she talked too much,” as he afterward | explained to the missionary who re-| monstrated with him. Nothing. was| known of the tragedy till it was over. A native of the island brought a much- gnawed thigh-bone of the unfortunate vietim to the stranger to see; and Miss Grimshaw took It home as 4 memento. This, and a skull from a nelghboring | island, are among the curios of her collection that are least appreclated | by her friends. | Miss Beatrice Grimsnaw is of opinfon | that the New Hebrides are extremely | interesting, but that they lack the curlous charm and beauty of the East- ern Pacific. LIGHTNING WRITER. Dion Boucicault used to turn out plays with astonishing rapidity, and the knack Is evidently Inherited by {his grandson, Dion Clayton Calthrop, |a young Londoner, who has begun to| |harvest fame from several flelds at once, being a successful artist, as well | as the author of three books just pub-| lished, and all now on the market, but | so wholly different each from the oth- er that they do not conflict. One is a careful and serious study of the cos- tumes worn in a bygone centurysthe other, entitled “Rouge,” is a roaring melodrama written in conjunction with Haldane MacFall, and the third, “King Peter,” is a delicate and delightful fantasy. But what I started to tell about Cal- throp was that he had an idea of a three-act comedy the other day. On Friday afternoon he divulged the idea | to a friend, who proved to .be enthus- lastic. £ “Hurry up, and write it sald the| friend, “before you forget all about 1t | “Perhaps I will,” sald Calthrop, and | strolled off. The tollowing Monday | morning he turned up casually with a| parcel under his arm, and in the course | of conversation sald: “By the way, I have written that play we were talk- ing about, and here it is. Don't you want to read {t?” Sure enough, there it was, cpmplete, in three acts, with eyery bit of business carefully thought out, and with nothing to indigate that | it had not been the 'result of three monthe' work Instead of less than three days. Calthrop’s father was John | Clayton, the actor, for whom many of | Pinero’s early plays were written. | FINISHES NEW STORY. | Miss May Sinclair has finished the first story she has written since “The | Divine Fire.” It is of about the length of two magazine instaliments, | and the subject is one of special in-| tere't to women, and is treated from a viewpoint that is likely to make a sensation. Miss Sinclair returned from America much improved in health and is making steady progress with the novel which is to succeed- “The Divine Fire,” although she .has mo idea as yet how soon she will finish it. Hesketh Prichard, novellst, cricketer, traveler and hunter, has nearly finish- ed a series of connected short stories| to follow his “Don Q” series, and ha. | also been busy | vith a play which 18| declared by those who have seen it/ to have great promise. He and his| mother, who 1Is his collaborator, are leaving London soon for the elk hunt- | ing season in Norway. Like so many other English authors, they .are leav- ing London for good, for when .theys return to this country they will move into a house in the country. They hope to get over to Newfoundland next year for the hunting season. ’ Dr. Holsman & Co. 1807 Fllimore Cor. Sutter For $12.50 No Pay Unless Cured Our home cure system is mar- velously successful.
