BRISTOL SALOON
 OPENING DELAYED

Bristol. Va, July 9.-There will be no saloons in Bristol as result of yes terday's election before the first week in August This rather unexpected stua- tion caused chagrin amongst the liquor contingent, some of whom had planned to open saloons within the next few days. It results from the recent resigna- ton of Judge Price of the corporation court, which becomes effective tomorrow. Judge Price adjourned court today and as his successor, Judge Joseph L. Kelly, will not qualify until August 1, there IS no means before that date for securing the necessary license.
 The prohibition forces today began a segregation and regulation fight and will try and prevent the opening of saloons on State street. one side of which lies within Tennessee, the state line being the middle of this principal thorough fare.
 An excise commission will probably be appointed by Judge Kelly to handle all applications for license.
 It was stated tonight that the "drys'' contemplate contesting the election. No statement will be given out until the of- fcial canvass of the vote is made.

 Under the original conditions imposed the fund would have had to continue in perpetuity regardless of whether public demand for it's continuity exists or not.

Settlement of Boundary Dispute Is Cause of Uprising by
 the People
STONES ARE HURLED INTO

Bolivian People Consider That Deci- sion Rendered in Boundary Mat
 ter Is Unjust and Are Fore
 lble in Resentment.

La Paz, Bolivia. July 9.-At clock a furious mob attacked the Argentine lega- ton. Troops have been called out and fears are entertained for the safety of the Argentine minister. The trouble is the outcome of the decision rendered by President Alcorta of Argentine in the boundary dispute between Peru and Be- livia.
 Senor Fonseca is the Argentine minister to Bolivia
 Great crowds which had been parading the streets finally turned in the direc- tion of the Argentine legation, which they surrounded There were shouts of rage and stones and other missiles were hurled at the building. The local authorities en- deavored to check the manifestations and at length the government found 1t neces- sary to order out troops. Both this lega- tion and that of Peru are now under a strong guard.
 The Bolivian people unanimously protest against the decision rendered by President Alcorta, which they consider most unjust The territory involved Is the famous Acre district recently purchased by Brazil from Bolivia for $10,0OO, 600, notwithstanding the fact that Peru issued a warning that the territory was at that time the subject of arbitration. Serious complications are anticipated. which are certain to involve Brazil.
 The decision of President Alcorta was entirely contrary to expectations The opinion is held here that the decision is entirely favorable to Peru. The streets to- night are crowded and violent manifesto tions have been made against the arbi- trator. Crowds went about the city shout ing Down with the Argentine; down with Peru" Serious trouble is feared

Number of the Stars,

On directing the eye to the celestial
vault the impression made upon the
mind is that of an incalculable num-
Der of stars being visible, host which
our arithmetic will not suffice to reck-
on. But this is an optical illusion. The
twinkling and disorderly position of
the stars confuse and deceive the
sight. An ordinary eye, 1t has been
estimated, will discern at once time
only about 5000 stars in our firma-
ment under the most favorable cir
cumstances, and, including both hemi-
spheres, there will not be more than
5000 visible to keen and experienced
gaze. Using an instrument Of no great
size-little more than two inches wide
there have been not less than 10000
stars charted in the northern half OF
the heavens alone 1t is calculated
that the total number visible in the
entire celestial vault with the aid Of
the larger telescopes would mount up
to 000,0O0.-New York American.
