UnexceIIed Entertainers.

Vinita Is, undeniably, pretty
smart town and "when the country
opens" that long-talked-of time when
such wonderful things are to happen
the newcomers will discover that
they are far inside the bounds of civ
ilization and from society point Of
view this is especially the Casa fact
which is fully verified by glance
through the past week, which was ex-
ceptionally full of social events. And
the more notable, If not all of the
principal ones, were given by Vinita
ladies proper-those whose homes
have been here from childhood.
1t will be many day before a
prettier wedding will take place than
that of DR.. Griffith and Miss Beatty
Wednesday night, which was almost
wholly arranged by native Vinitans.
Another notable event was Mrs.
Halsell's dinner party, given Thurs
day night in honor Of Judge Springer,
which for elaborateness was never
equaled in the city. What with its
half dozen or more separately served
courses, costly table service, exquisite
flower decorations, dainty little SOU
venirs and buttonaires, and care
full attention to every detail
throughout, it will not soon
soon again be equaled in the city,
even though our population may
double several times. And the ease
and grace with which the hostess pre-
sided and looked after the pleasure of
each guest, relieving the occasion of
any strain, characterized her as
model entertainer.
Then too, there were the usual
quota of parties given for the 'young-
er SET" and by them, generally. On
these occasions the salads and ices
rival the efforts of DelmOnico's chefs
and the quiet demeanor of the young
entertainers is marvel to the
stranger who may be so fortunate as
to receive an invitation.
On the whole, Vinita may with as
surance be considered as the abode of
a large number of unexcelled enter
tainers.

and made disgusting charges against
the Earl. she could not prove her
charges nor obtain her divorce but a
a man whose name she had dragged
into the scandal sued the Countess for
libel and obtained damages against her
to the amount OF $4,000.
Earl Russell so- a divorce from his
Countess, and fol- a time the public
heard no more of the unhappy pair
But the Countess and her mother, Lady
Lena Scott, began soon to circulate
most horrible stories about the Earl,
and finally, in 1896, the Earl had Lady
Scott arrested for criminal libel. After
trial which brought out many sensa-
tional things concerning the family,
Lady Scott was convicted. In the evil
dence produced at the trial was a letter
from Lady Scott to q bookseller, who
had prepared, ut her order, the printed
libels which she circulated. She said
in this letter: Il want you to find me
rich American gentleman to help me
bear these expenses, with view TO
marriage l have had plenty of good
offers, but must have riches"
Though no erich American gentleman"
was found to furnish funds for Lady
Scott, she got enough English money
to enable her to continue her fight
against her son-in-law and to send her
scandal broadcast Lady Scott and
those arrested with her for the libel
utterly failed to prove the charges
which they made against the Earl.
Lady Russell was always fond of
dancing, and some years ago appeared
at the Royal Theatr, London. She is
now determined to remain on the stag
and earn her own living by her wit al.a
her beauty.

This statement" says a late Opin-
ion, ''is a summary Of GG7 large type
written pages of what is called 'evi-
dence,' bur which, for the most part,
is simply gable, gable, gabble;' thus
furnishing a fine illustration of what
curse the art Of the stenographer is to

action for killing a dog said: Gentle

The trouble with some corporations
is described in n late case as follows:
Some are afflicted with what may be
called 'congenitar insolvency. They
are born insolvent, capitalized into in
solvency at the moment of their crea-

in an apparent effort to solve the old
paradox of living on the interest Of
their debts"
Gentlemen Of the jury, have you
agreed upon a verdict?' asked the
judge. I'VE have not" replied the
foreman, and what's more we never
will be able to. You see, judge" he
added confdentially, its just this
way: When the lawyer for the defense
got through talking we were unani-
mously Of the opinion that his client
should be acquitted and the prose
cutting attorney disbarred, if not
hanged, and when we had heard the
prosecuting attorney we decided that
the prisoner was guilty and his lawyer
ought to get twenty years in the peni-
Tertiary rs well. Then you gave us
about forty-hve minutes of instructions
and we were up in the air, so to speak,
and so confused that we have been I'M
able to agree upon anything except
that both attorneys ought to be con-
victed."

Russian Diplomat, Baron de Stae1,
Filled the Post of Honor.
Baron de Stael, the permanent chair
man of the Cars peace conference at
The Hague, Holland, is Russia's ambas-
sador to Great Britain and possesses
the highest qualifications for his pres
enr duties. He represents the old
school of diplomacy, but is its finest
embodiment in Europe. AS the real
issue lies between st. Petersburg and
London, the fifteen years of his diplo-
matte career at the Court Of st. James
have given him a special intimacy
with the controversies between the
two powers. No one could have bet
ter knowledge of what to avoid. His
