TO SELL MARBLE HOUSE.
Mrs. o. II. P. Belmont Wants to Dis
nose of Her Newnort Home.

New York, July 21.-NIrs. o. H. P.
Belmont is anxious to dispose of Mar
Bile House. Newport, according to a
report from a reliable source which is
circulating in the fashionable world.
She is willing to take $1,000, 600 for it,
it is said, despite the fact that the
handsome palace cost William K. Van
derbiIt 81 700, 900 to build. Why anyone
should desire to part with such a
beautiful summer residence is not ap-
parent, but Mrs. Belmont explained to
a friend yesterday that her income of
$500 600 and Mr.. Belmont's income of
S125 900 were not sufficient to support
the costly establishment.
This announcement startled society,
for it was comparatively only a short
time ago that Mrs. Belmont, then Mrs.
Willie K. Vanderbilt, dazzled Newport
and opened Marble House for the sea-
son with a grand ball in honor of the
coming out of her daughter Miss Con-
suelo Vanderbilt, now the Duchess of
Marlborough. 1t was expected that
Mrs. Belmont would wage war upon
the Cornelius Vanderbilts, and would
seek in every way to outshine them in
social splendor If she sells Marble
House, society may consider that she
has given up the fight.

the disturbance takes place, of placing
his foot against a brass chain that ex-
tends across the stage. Last night it
broke. and Jones fell on his head in
the orchestra In falling he received
a severe cut over the right eye by
striking a music stand. The audience
thought that this was part of the play

CHINESE no SHED BLOOD.
War Declared in San Francisco Be
tween ze Yups and Sam Yups.

San Francisco, July 21.-Chinatown is
in a fever of excitement. War has been
declared among the factions of Ze Yup
company, and the murder of Lee tt
yesterday is only an incident in a feud
which is not expected to end until more
blood is shed. A price has been placed
upon the heads of two of the most in
fuentiaI merchants in the district.
Their entire families have been placed
under a ban and hatchetmen have been
promised heavy rewards to accomplish
their terrible work
The Chinese police have announced
their intention to allow the fighting
factions to settle their affairs without
interference and feeling of almost IN
paraIleled dread pervades the quarter.
Men much more important than Lee
III will be dead, it is believed, before The
fight is over.
The Re Yup company succeeded in
absorbing much local trade of the Sam
Yup company. The Sam Yups seem
determined to destroy the Re Yups if
possible by breeding dissensions among
them and by paying some OF the lead
ers to be traitors.

SUPREME COURTS REST.
There is No Court in August and JUS
tees Will Go Away.

The supreme court does not hold any
August or September session and the
justices have a chance to get away
from the law books and long tedious
records for a little while. They gen
orally take advantage of the Opportun-
atty.
Justice Allen has already begun his
vacation. He left for st. Louis on Sat
urday and will remain there as a spec
tator till the convention adJOurns; then
he and his wife will go north. The
Judge intended taking a trip up the
Mississippi on a steamboat to Minnie
apOlis when he left here, but further
than that he had not planned
Justice Johnston says in relation to
his summer trip:
''I don't know what I shall do exactly.
I will be around Topeka till about
August first. I have some work I want
to finish up, although I won't work
very hard from now on. intend to go
north but just where I will go have
not decided yet"
Pick Smith. Judge Johnston's secre-
tary, had intended going to Canada,
north of Quebec, but he has been cor
responding with the hotel men up there
and they can't guarantee that they
have any fish larger than the one he
caught last year, so he has about de-
cided to go to the Pacific coast. Whales
are caught out there sometimes.
Chief Justice Martin says Really
I don't think I shall get further away
than Atchison. What more can any
one desire than to summer in the me-
tropOlis of the Missouri valley, espec-
tally when from his house he can look
out on the largest stream in the land
and enjoy the beautiful soft amber
color Of the water. Then if went
away 1 couldn't get Missouri river
water to drink. You know when man
gets thoroughly accustomed to drink
ing Missouri river water he gets a good
deal OF sand in him. The water filters
through the sand or rather" said the
Judge as gravely as if he We're dictat-
ing an opinion, perhaps it would be
more correct to say the sand filters
through the water"

of tonic and Alternative is felt. A
prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
