tempted criminal assault is charged, but
he is also named as correspondent in a
divorce suit, and it is rather an odd
coincidence that at the very time the
trial of the young man was going on in
the Richmond Police Court Thursday
his name was being frequently mentioned
in the suit for divorce of Mr.. w. G.
Lambert against his wife, which was
given partial hearing in the Chancery
Court Thursday. Dispositions were taken
from Holman in the Richmond Jail
few days ago by the attorneys for MIR.
and Mrs. Lambert. From evidence III
the divorce case it seems that Holman
hid known Mrs. Lambert for several
months.

GAIErIEs AT NEwPORT.-Newport
was keyed last week almost to the burst
ing point. The principal event was
Mrs. William Astor's great ball Thurs
day evening at her enlarged villa, Beech
wood. Three or four functions have
been given there this season which sur
passed it in elaborateness, but not one
approached it in richness and statelness.
Her new ballroom is decorated in Louis
XVI. style, white and gold being the
prevailing colors. The next important
affair was the lawn performance of ''The
White Rose" rendered Monday evening
by Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., at
Beaulieu. The idea of bringing a pro-
fessionsl cast was simple enough in
itself, and had been proposed before
without having been tried. The cost OF
the entertainment has been absurdly
exaggerated, a large discount being
credited ON the ILL for society advcrtis-
ing, but the innovation has made a rec
ord in local annals that will be trouble
some to surpass next season.
The third largest happening of the
week was Mrs. Ogden Goelet's bull at
Ochre Court Wednesday evening in
honor of her daughter, Miss May Goelet,
which ranked second in point of ex-
clusiveness among the seasons enter
tainments to date.

THROUGH WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS.

THROUGH WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS.
While there were large number OF
people who witnessed the second swim of
Carlisle d. Graham through the lowerrap
ids of the gorge in the whirlpool to Lew
iston. Yesterday afternoon, there were a
still larger number who did not see him.
The reason for this is because the greater
number believed Graham would swim
the whirlpool rapids, which is that
portion of the tumbling waters between
the railroad bridges and the whirlpool.
It was in this part of the river that Capt.
Matthew Webb lost his life, July "a,
1883. Graham has been through whirl-
pool rapids in a barrel several times,
and knows too much about them to risk
his life there without proper protection.
The cliffs and bridges were lined with
humanity, bat all above the whirlpool
saw nothing of the performance yester-
day. Graham went down the gorge
early in the afternoon. lie dressed for
his swim by putting on life prescryer
and life ring. A crowd stood about
him. He entered the water on the
American side of the whirlpool. AT
signal from man in charge of
moving picture machine Install
ed on fiat car that all was
ready, Graham walked into the river at
$3.50 o'clock. The current picked him
up and in ten minutes he was being
hurled down stream and through the
long. sweeping waves that form at the
outlet river pocket. After passing this
he foated in comparatively quiet water
for mile or more until be reached Fos-
ter's flats, where, old fishermen say, IT
is ''the nastiest bit of water between the
two lakes" Graham met the waves
bravely. He bounded into them and
went cut Of sight. 1t seemed minutes
before he reappeared to the anxious
people who were waiting. When he
had left Fosters flats behind Graham
had an easy task, and he hoated with
tbc current, now and then turning and
throwing bis arms about. The route he
took was well over toward the Canadian
side to avoid the rocky ledgcs along the
American shore Opposite Queenstown
heights men in a boat gave him tow
at the end ola rope Nearing the dock
he again began to swim, and was cheer
ed by the people when he landed. This
was Graham's second swim from the
pool to Lewiston, his first having been
made September last. While attempt
ing this feat James Scott lost his life
August 10, 1886.

Carleton F. Hodge, editor of the AS

ened with prosecution for publishing
improper literature because he has un-

Mr.. Hodge received a letter from a
prominent official of the st. Joseph
County Savings Bank at South Bend,
Ind. informing him that the appearance
of such "matter" in newspaper was
illegal and he threatened to start law
suit.
Editor Hodge, said Thursday that
he proposed to continue printing chap
