There is SuSpecGeu case VI s"oiiPoA
in this community; but the patient
has been sent to an isolated point in the
blackiacks, where he is in quarantine.
The suspect is one Will Hilton, men,
ber of the Third Kentucky volunteers,
whose regiment was mustered out OF
service at Savannah, Ca, on Tuesday
of last week. He came to Rock Hill
Wednesday night, and Friday the dis
ease appeared on his body. Steps
were at once taken to isolate him,
nurse who had had smallpox was en-
ployed to look after him, and guard
was placed in charge of the tent in
which the patient is confined. Hilton
was visiting his brother Ed, a resident
of our city, and the latter and his fam

prompt action and there are no fears

To the plain, work-a-Gay mind Of the
stay-at-home it does seem that with so
much fashion and wealth divided between
less than half dozen big resorts, there
is mighty little pleasure going on.
The Cinderellas of life have pernicious
habit of making themselves doleful think
ing of the triumphs that would have fallen
10 their lot could they have belonged 10 the
gilded set that sows not. neither does it
spin. G!amourous thoughts of the sensations
they would create in ball room and surf,
tantalize her poor fancy until she becomes
absolutely blind to the happiness to which
she is lawfully entitled in the way of cheap
pretty muslins. and evening strolls. and car
rides with a more or less satisfactory beau
II she could look al the matter imperson-
ally, how much comfort she might get out
of her view. With all the advantages OF
money and fine clothes rich people do not
seem to especially enjoy themselves
at the seaside these midsummer days.
There are dinners, and golf, and boat
rides ad libitum, but ali of them in ii
bunch count for very little to men women
and girls who are in the habit of having
good times at home. Society chroniclers
whose ears and eyes are always on the trig-
ger to catch every little incident going on
in their special precincts of Vanity Fair
find very little work for their pencils and
pads. One naturally expects more from So
much gorgeous ge-settings-but so far
nothing our of the ordinary has occurred.
Take Bar Harbor. for instance, where it
costs a fortune to breathe. The stay-at-
home pictures the happy sojourner at that
resort TO be in continuous maze OF be-
wildering pleasure and here is what the
latsst special from there has TO say for
itself:
Society is gradually gaining confidence,
and the season begins TO look more hopeful.
The uresome dullness of July will surely
be succeeded by an abundance of gayety in
August. The White Squadron arrives here
II opening week, and already preparations
are under way 10 receive them. Following
the feet, there is the news that the New
York Yacht Club will race down from Vine
yard Haven and anchor at Bar Harbor"
Naturally. the White Squadron is a fine
thing 10 look upon; likewise, the New York
Yacht Club. but-Bar Harbor, Then con-
slider the latest from Cape May: Water
for the past two weeks TOO cold for comfort,
but Improving every day. The most i'm
portant social event OF the week was the
concert at the Stockton in the interest of
the beach concert fund" The concert is
even less distractingly fascinating than the
Bar Harbor boat race
Newport's most intoxicating social per-
formance last week was an old fashioned
hare and hounds race-the paper hunt, OF
course-and the sport was so well received
that they viii be given weekly throughout
the season. Nobody can find anything
criminal in a paper chase; ii is = really
nice and exciting little game-for those
who have never realized the real hunt
with reynard and the hounds. and Incl
dentally. not so cruel. but, after all. when
you figure up the millions of money repre-
sented at Newport a paper hare seems
like very tame affair.

Marine COrporals May Court TIL,
Girls While on Duty

What may be said to be the establish
ment of q standard of military discipline
for members OF the Marine Corps was ac-
complished yesterday in the approval By
Secretary Long of a verdict of Not guilty
rendered by naval COURT martial in the
case of Corporal Thomas Scanlon, charge
with unsoldierly conduct and neglect OF
duty because he was found hugging a girl
while on guard duty.
Corporal Scanlon is a member of the
Marine Corps stationed at League Island
navy yard. and while guarding an officer
residence he was joined BY a serving mai
OF the house, and while marching his beat
with his arm around the girl, he was con
fronted by the officer. The charges court

There are doubtless other girls at New
port who are handsomer and richer, by
good DEAL than Miss Julia Dent, but that
she is one of the most popular young
women at the resort is made evident by
the unlimited attention she receives from
its cavaliers and by the tribute to her
taste paid by other girls who are said to
be copying her fashion in hair and dress.
OF course the secret may lie in the fact
that she has a wonderfully clever aunt
and wealthy uncle, and that she is pretty
soon to be married to a prince, but even
allowing for the glamour Of her social sur
roundings, she is an out-and-out popular
girl, liked by everyone who has ever
known her since she was a scrap of a
child-perhaps for the possession of the
same charm that is characteristic Of her
cousin, Miss Vivian Sartoris, of whom ker
maid said-and by the way, the incident
is worth telling. II happened at one of
the Bachelors cotillions at the National
Rifles Armory. Up in the foliage en-
powered gallery flock of maids were
looking down at the dancers and chattering
| like sparrows in a tree.
They were trig. bright-eyed little bodies,
and were having an immensely good time
all to themselves until the question arose as
to who was the prettiest dancer on the
| floor. Each little maid promptly claimed
the laurels for her own young lady. She
was perfectly willing for any other maids
! young lady to come in second best. but
! three was no doubt about her own particu-
I lar young lady being the handsomest, the
most beautiful dancer and the greatest

Just sweet in company and cross at home.
She's an out-and-out angel, with the dis-s

! And when she had, as 1t were, silenced
! the last battery and run up her flag, an
other onlooker who had slipped up to the
gallery and was busy doing gowns" with
] her pad and pencil, asked the maid If
she would tell her the name of her re-
markable mistress.
/ The faithful little soul pointed down to
a dancer in a girlish gown of white tulle
who was being whirled around by dis
tinguished young bachelor Just where
the light from the huge red umbrella suf-
! fused them both with its rosy glow.

/ that gave the other maids to understand
that she would tolerate no contradictions.
