THE COMING VANDERBILT BALL
The coming ball of William K. Fauder-
built, which is planned to eclipse the
famous Bradley Martin function of last
year, is subject of much discussion
among Gothanl's 400 Phe chief iptei-
est in the affair centers not lii the elet-
oia.eness O; the ball, but in the Ques-
ton as 10 who are TO be invited and
who are to be ignored. About five
hundred invitations will be- sent QUO,
and, as there are at least thousand
people in the New York 400, there Will
necessarily be many disappointments,
Mr.. Vanderbilt has already expressed
opinion that new blood should re IL
fused into New York's most exclusive
set, and this ball will bring 1t TO he
front. The friction among the members
of the various Vanderbilt households
will lead TO some embarrassing situs
tons, and it is question as TO WHIST
branches of the Aston family ere 10 tie
let in, and what mem beis are TO be kept
out. Society in New York are wonder
ing whether Mr.. Vanderbilt will extend
sd Invitation TO bis nephew, young Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, whose marriage with
Miss Wilson YVES opposed by several
members of the Vanderbilt family, ard
whether Mr.. Vanderbilt viii ltciude
among bis invited guests Mr.. aud Mrs.
O. II. P. Belmont. Mrs. B-lmont was
formerly Mrs William K, Vanderbilt,
Mr.. Belmont is an important factor in
New York society, and it is hardly be-
lieved that he will be overlooked when
the invitations are: sent out.

a Matrimonial MIX.

Frank Case met with a surprise
when he returned from British CO.
lumbia with his pocket full of rocks"
a few days ago, to resume his place as
head of family he left several years
ago to seek the favors of that tickle
goddess, Fortune. The surprise in
store for him was q no less incident
than finding his wife married to
another man.
1t seems that up to about two years
ago Mr.. Case and family had lived
near Rainier, in this county. At that
time he caught the mining fever, and
left his home to delve in foreign
lands for the object around which the
"root of evil" entwines its many
tendrils. A few months after his de-
parture there was hold-up" of a
car on the Tacoma-SteilacOom line in
which one of the bandits was killed,
and as his name was ascertained to be
L" Jack" Case, the wife very naturally
concluded it might have been her alb
sent husband, and this belief was ap-
parently corroberated by the fact that
not word was afterwards heard from
him. Last May Mrs. Case was mar
ried to Henry Grimm, of this city.
Last week a man recognized rs the
original Frank Case made his appear
ance in this city, and upon making
inquiry as to the place OF residence of
his wife, was told that she had given
him up as dead and had married again.
The news was of course appalling to
the returned miner, but lie appears to
have possessed a philosophic nature
which sometime tides men over difficult
ties and disappointments. Arden-like
he simply resolved that he would
cause no trouble and return to the
mountain Businesses which had yielded
up their treasures to him and prose-
cute anew his search for wealth.
Mr.. Grimm will, on investigation, if
the circumstances rs narrated prove
true, apply TO the courts for aid in re-
arranging the conditions which en-
viron himself and the woman he has
thought was his wife. If the true hus-
band interposes no objection, doubtless
this course will not present any insur-
mountable impediments. Absence and
failure to provide for SO prolonged a
a period is a legal cause of application
for divorce aside from the new-found
relations resulting from tie presump-
ton of death of her first husband.

"There is now being carefully en-
gineered big movement in Chicago
for the control of the worlds stock
OF corn" remarks the Echo. "No
one can surely tell the people who
are at the back OF it, The buying
has been chiefly done through a
young broker, Mr.. @. B. French,
who year ago was a clerk in a rail.
way Office. He came to Chicago
with commendatory letters from
Mr.. Morgan, the banker, and other
Wall Street leaders, and has inHu-
entail hackers out west. Mr.. Phil.
Armour, the famous pork packer
and millionaire, stores his grain for
him, and declares that Mr. French
has all the money he wants for his
work; and it is certain that the erst
while unknown broker is able to pay
cash for as much wheat as he can
secure. The corner headed by him
must have had control Of nearly
twenty million bushels Of grain, Of
which cne-half is wheat. The pro-
fits earned on wheat alone by Mr.
French and his hacker must have
come to at least 100000. These
are the men to whom every London
