Younger Set Fascinated by Swtter
PLAY Possible With Craps.
A VINEYARD DANCE" is THE LATEST,
HarU lehr Has Decided TO Sell His Msvel-
Ties In The Entertainment Line 10
Sscieiy 10 The Future

Down I'm Newport IL is averred that wo-
wen gamble among themselves for higher
stakes than at any other resort in the
world
Almost daily one hears Of thousands of
dollars changing hands at bridge whist
or at craps. The former is the popular
game among the set led by Mrs. Ogden
Mills, but the fascinations OF the dice
hold the younger people.
Mrs. Mills gives two bridge whist par
ties weekly. At most OF the places where
women play every visitor is expected To
bring her check book, as well as a goodly
sum in currency.
Single wagers often run as high as $500
among the women alone, and when men
are playing that sum is often doubled.
The matrons all contend briuge whist
is a good invention, for IL serves to keep
the men at home and out of the influence
of such attractive and unscrupulous ad-
venturesses as have been operating here
recently.
The ladies also believe the men get off
cheaper when they lose their money at
home.
There are several ugly stories aioat
regarding young matron who, IL is
said has been caught cheating both at
cards and at dice.
OF course, in case OF this kind, no
names can be mentioned but the woman
in question is gradually being dropped by
her acquaintances.
1t is hoped she will soon see the way
the wind is blowing and decide on Eu-
ropean trip or some other change for the
balance OF the summer.
The Rev. Dr. Braddin Hamilton. who
scoided Newporters so in his sermon last
Sunday, has secured the temporary ad-
vertisement which some theological ex-
FOUNDER annually grabs.
II is openly alleged that. in addition to
his desire for notoriety, the sermon was
prompted by the plight in which society
woman in whom he is particularly inter-
ested has found herself
This woman has been exceedingly un-
lucky this season and is never known to
quit any game winner. She Is fond OF
high play. and while possessed OF hand
some allowance, she is head over ears in
debt.
She is in constant terror lest her hus-
band find out about her extravaganza.
and In an effort to quiet her nerves she
consumes daily large quantity of alco-
hoic stimulant.
DR.. Hamilton was led by this woman TO
believe many other women were in the
same unpleasant predicament as herself,
hence the sermon.
Society folk are not given 10 accepting
unasked advice. and DR.. Hamiltons scold-
ing has but led TO the planning of even
gayer times for next Sunday. Invitations
have been issued for several bridge whist
and crap parties. to take place on that
date. An illumination of fleet and dancing

has been relieved and encouraged Is shown
by the increased prices for agricultural pro-
ducts, all of which have materially advanced
in the home market, and by the large in
crease IN expectation In the products of agri-

The message also recommended that the

greatly encouraged is amply shown by the
figures relating to the two great mining in
dustries-coal and iron. The coal produc-

ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN.
Express on the Ii. and O. Carrying So, OOO..
900 Runs into an Open switch.


Philadelphia, July 11.-According
to officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad deliberate attempt to wreck
the Washington express bearing 3d.
100000 in gold to the sub-treasury in
New York. came near being successful
early in the morning at Folsom, a
short distance outside of this city. The
train consisted of two sleepers, two
day coaches and three baggage cars
and left Washington at II 80 at night.
1t was due here at $40 in the morn
ing. While going at good rate Of
speed it ran into an open switch at
Folsom. The engine was overturned
and the three baggage ears were de-
rallied but no one was injured.
An examination of the switch by the
railroad men disclosed the fact that
the switch had been tempered with,
for the apparent purpose Of wrecking
a train. Whether it was done with
the intention of wrecking the express
bearing the currency could only be
cOnjectured. 1t Is believed, however,
by many in the vicinity that it was
the work of small boys. The railroad
officials have placed detectives on the
case and have offered a reward of $500
for the arrest or conviction of those
tampering with the switch. 1t re-
quired considerable time to get the de-
rallied cars back on the tracks and
there was n consequent delay in the
running of other trains

Pretoria, July 1.-THE British sue
cess at Bethlehem has considerably
improved the prospects for peace, it
is said. The whole of the government
Of President Steyn Of the Orange Free
State has surrendered except President
Steyn himself. Those officials who are
prisoners have been allowed to COM

him the uselessness of continuance
Of the struggle which can only produce
bloOdshed without any counterbalanc-

The collapse Of the forces Of General

here say that the men have taken a
solemn oath never to personally sur
render, but they are beginning to see
the unfairness Of sacrificing of life to
personal wishes. 1t is expected that
when General BOtha learns of the de-
feat of his colleagues he will gladly
enter into conferences looking to the es-
adjustment of peace. The need of
more civil administrators is urgent,
and the necessity for their appoint
ment Is becoming daily more apparent.

The popular view of the relation of the
blood to human character and conduct is
marked in many familiar expression. We
speak of there being ''bad blood" be-
tween people at enmity, of "bue blood" as
indicating ancestry, or ''black blood" as de-
scribing treacherous nature, and in many
another phrase mark our belief that in the
mental, moral and physical man, ''the
blood is the life." The one basis is a
healthful, happy and useful life is pure
blood. With the blood pure, disease has
no permanent lodging place in the system.
For this reason the use of DIR. Pierce's
olden Medical Discovery rids the body
of disease which have their origin in
impurity of the blood. 1t absolutely
puriies the blood, carrying off the waste
and poisonous matter, increasing the ac-
ton OF the blood making glands, and build
up the body by supplying the blood in
quantity and quality such as is essential
to condition of health. 1t cures ninety
eight people out of every hundred who
give it fair trial.
