SOME OTHER TOPICS The fashionable contingent will soon turn their faces Lenox-way. The whirl of gayety at Newport certainly reached its height the present week, and left its eager rartici- pants but little time to rest between their manifold engagements. Balls and dances have succeeded each other with perfect rezularity, and in connection with the other necessary appearances at the tennis con- tests, made both days and nights resemble, in their activity, the swift movement of a Washington winter. No wender one of the most stalwart of the amusement forces, Mr. Oliver Belmont, succumbed to the strug- gle, After wearing himself out attending to the smallest details of the big ball he had planned for Thursday night last, that date found him in bed, and absolutely un- able, even if permitted, to take any further interest in things mundane. The ball will take place on Monday night, if his health permits, and may usher in another week of extreme gayety before the fashionables be- gin to scatter to other points of vantage. Opinions differ here in the stay~at-home- colony as to whether Mrs. Brice made a ten-strike with her recent lawn party with its fortune teilers, mountebanks ani red- lemonade attachments. Her friends all came, and that was the main point, in any case, and they probably had just as good a time as at any other grand occasion of the summer. It all goes to show how easy it is to exhaust the usual forms of amusement, and what a good thing it is to be able to devise new forms of wasting one’s time pleasantly. If trick dogs and other circus features do it, then why not a wrestling match, some serous calisthenics, like a round or two of a prize fight or a bull fight? Stranger things are always happening, and after the first trial, neither of these would excite more than a passing mention. The Brices have taken their part well in the program at Newport. Outside of their dinners, theirs have been daylight effects. The only reason why they did not give a ball is because Beaulieu, their villa, has no ball room. Think of paying $12,000 for three months’ rent and then having to hire a ball room. Tho Duke of Marlborough may not know mvch more about the United States in general than he did before, but he will gain some valuable experience of the why and wherefores of its high life as displayed at Newport during his week’s residence there. ‘There has been quite as great a de- sire amongst the crowd inside the gilded cirele to look at and talk with him as with those who could only hope to watch the little lion from afar off. The Marlborough name and fame is’ a well-known quan- tity in this country, and it is surprising what national pride, so to speak, we all take in the fact; that it was the Ham- mersley good American dollars to the tune of 350,000 which pat the last new roof and other repairs on Blenheim palace. Take it all In all)everybody seems to like the young duke, and no one begrudges tim what he is most likely-to carry back with him to England—the promise of a rich American wife. Mrs. Alva Vander- bilt is reported to have said with consider- able spirit that her daughter's engage- ment to the duke would not be announced because it did not-exist. But time will tell. After Newport, his grace, who is a little past twenty-three, has a westward trip ahead of him. Notwithstanding Blenheim palace, a town house and lands, this young man is poor. Singe he acquired them all and is responsible for the heavy burden of debts with which they were literally cov- 1, he has had to sell his yacht and rid of other luxuries which a young aining must feel deep depri- vations. At Blenheim, where his tenants a wild to have the duke marry an Amer- ican heiress because of a much-needed shower of gold. everybody likes him, and he allows anyone that pleases to row, ride or shoot on the Marlborough estates. The Chilean minister and Mrs. Gana, who are now making a tour of northern summer resorts, have rented for the com- ing year the residence on K street adjoining Senator Sherman's mansion, and which was formerly his home.

JUDGE SCOTT DIRECTED THE WAY ee ee Points of the Procession That Passed in the Police Court. : SINNERS ~ GET SENTENCED One night in a police cell fs enough to make any man change his mind, and Charles Steele did not prove an exception to this rule. Last evening the young man was tired and hungry and when he met Policeman Elsworth he said to him that he would like to go down on the farm. “I-have no home,” he said, “neither have I any place to go, and therefore I want to get locked up.” Policeman Ellsworth talked to Steele and advised him that he had betier go to work and earn his Uving, but the young man seemed to be worried over something that he did net care to tell, and he was so persistent that the officer accompanied him to the station and locked him up. This morning he led the procession in Judge Scott's court and the charge against him was that of vagrancy. “Are you guilty or not guilty asked. ‘ 5 “Not guilty,” he answered in a tone of voice indicating that he meant just what he said. His plea was a surprise both to the court and the officer, but the prisoner said he had changed his mind. “Where do you belong?” “I've been away,” he answered, “and now I am on my way to Gaithersburg, where my mother lives.” “When are you going there?” “I don’t know,” the prisoner replied. “I hayen’t any money.” oo you walk there?” Mr. Pugh asked “I don’t know the way.” “Get on the Metropolitan car track and relied until you see the sign Gaithers- 2 he was t's too far.” “Only about twenty mile: Judge Scott told the young man that he had better get along outside of prison and informed him that he could not get the District to support him in this way. Ninety Days for Ninety Baths. Charles Young, a Dingman place colored boy, next appeared on complaint of Po- Iiceman Pat Creagh on a charge of va- grancy. “Ym guilty,” the boy replied when ar- raigned. “This gentleman,” said Mr. Pugh, “is sadly in need of a bath, and the water will do him as much good as the time you will give him. He is in the habit o7 Joaf- ing about the streets, and I think sixty days will do him good.” “Ninety days,” said the judge. “I think ninety baths will do him more good than sixty.” Charles Hughes, a colored citizen, was also a member of the short procession, and the charge against him was unlawful as- sembly, “Are you guilty or not guilty?” he was asked. o “Not guilty this time,” he answered. “This defendant, your honor,” said Po- liceman Lightfoot, “was engaged in a crap game the otrer day, and when I appeared on the scene the party scattered and ran.” ““Did you see this man there?” the court asked. , sir.” “And you are sure they were playing crap?” “Certainly.” “Judge, your honor prisoner, “that policeman didn’t see me playing ‘crap. When he came there 1 was standing in the crowd looking at the other boys who were playing.” And why did he arrest you?” “I don't know. He let the little boys go and arrested me because I didn't run.” “Ten dollars or thirty days.” Thought He Owned It All. John Burns,-who was under the influence of-something stronger than soda water, said the indignant .xesterday was cu Pennsylvania avenue, | where his conduct indicated an imaginary ownership of everything in sight. Policeman Manstield, who has charge of the patrol wagon, made the arrest when he was called by telephone, and the prisoner who was feeling unwell this morning, plead guilty, and stepped back because he was short of funds. One Charles West had appeared and been sentenced, and Jennie Johnson complained that another Charles West was disorderly in a house. “Did he talk loud enough to be heard in the alley?” Mr. Pugh wanted to know. “Well, squire, to tell you the truth, I ee know, ‘cause I wasn't out in the al- ey. ut did he talk loud enough to have been heard?" “If anybody had been standing near the door I think they could have heard him.” Charlie made a statement in his own be- half, and denied everything that Jennie had said against him. He admitted, however, that he had some trouble about the women in the house. “I am going to let you go this time,” said the judge, “although I think you made too much noise. I would suggest that you had better move from the house.” , Craps and Disorderly Conduct. George Robinson, a colored crap shooter from South Washington, was the last one in the procession, and, although Policeman Bowie said he saw the “bones” thrown, the prisoner made a wholesale denial. Judge Scott did not believe the denial, and impesed the usual tine. Samvel Spates, Albert Spates, Samuel Burns and Anna Burns appeared in court because Policeman Ward had sworn out a warrant against them for alleged disord>r- ly conduct. When the case was called the officer sald he had no evidence against them, and the charge was dismissed. This is only one of ene many similar cases that fared the same ‘ate. John Scott, a boy who was arrested for jumping cn a cable car, failed to appear, and his collateral, $2, was forfeited. William D. Webster forfeited $5 because he failed to get a license for an entertain- ment he gave last night. Alfred Smith, a small colored boy, fig- vred in a stone battle yesterday, and his head was filed as an exhibit. A piece of brick had made a scar on his head, but as Alfred had thrown the first stone the court fined him $2. His mother paid the fine.
