A ToLsTOI ANEcDoTE.
How tho Author Treated Publisher Who
Did 40. Know Him.


The following characteristic little
story of that eccentric genius, Count Leo
Tolstoi, is communicated to our Odessa
correspondents by a Moscow journalist.
After completing one of his recent short
works the count went i'll search of new
publisher. He appeared one forenoon i'll
the publishing Office of magazine
where he was personally unknown. He
was dressed after the manner of better
class mauzhik, and tho chief of the es-
Enlistment, probably given to Judging
from appearances, was not over polite or
patient i'll listening to the count s re-
quest to have his sketch published, ut
the Same timo taking tho manuscript
from his pocket.
"Oh," said the publisher, CT really
cannot DO bothered. 1t is no use my look
ing at your sketch. We have hundreds
of such things i'll hand and have really
no time to deal with yours, even though
you were i'll position to guarantee tho
cost, which very much doubt"
Tolstoi slowly rolled up his manu-
script, and replacing it in his pocket OBJ
served:
II must be laboring under some mis-
apprehension. I have been told that tho
public likes to read what write.
'Tho public likes to read what you
writo!" exclaimed the publisher, closely
scrutinizing him. "Who arc you? What
is your namc?"
My namc is Leo Tolstoi' -
The astonished and abashed publisher
was instantly OH the other side of the
counter, expressing tho most profuse
apologies and entreating the count to do
him tho distinguished honor of permit
ting him to publish tho sketch Tolstoi
quietly buttoned up his coat with tho
manuscript i'll his breast pocket, saying
You have no time, you say, having so
many hundreds of these things i'll hand
l must find publisher who has time,
and one who will not require guaran
tee. DasvidanyaP' And the count walk
ed off in his usual nonchalant manner

Miss Anna Gould Weds
Count de CaStellane.
Ceremony Was Perfect Pageant
and Details Gorgeous.
Exquisite Gown Worn by the youug
and Beautiful Is. ide.

Count dc Castellane of France and Miss
Anna Gould of New York are now man and
Vile. The wedding which took place in
George Goulds Fifth avenue home was one
OF the most elaborate affairs ever held in
Gotham, in fact 1t was perfect pageant the
details being solely under the direction of
Mr. and Mrs. George Gould The floral dec
orations exceeded in magnincence anything
hitherto seen in that city. The halls were
converted into a garden of white flowers,
lilies OF the valley being conspicuous and
abundant. The Moorish parlor IN which the
ceremony took place was remarkable for ex-
quisite taste and was decorated with orchids
only.
No clergyman, save Archbishop Corrigan,
oiticiated, and no other ecclesiastic was IN
vited to the wedding The ceremony was
performed at II o'clock noon, and was wit
messed by not more than 80 persons outside
the family, which, however, is n large one.
As is well known, it is contrary TO the
rule of the Roman Catholic Church to
permit its bishops or priests to solem-
nize marriages during Lent. 4 special dis
pensation was just rs necessary tor mar
riage during Lent as it is for the union of
Catholic and Protestant. II is within the
scope of the authority of the archbishop to
grant such a dispensation, as has been done
in the case Of the Count de Castellane and
Miss Gould.
The procession started from the library in
the southwest corner of the second moor,
thence proceeding to the head of the grand
staircase, through the main hall to the music
room. and then to the Moorish parlor, of
which the acove may be regarded as a part.
Those composing the procession marched in
the following order: First, the ushers, Mr..

Bertelmann was also set free for the same
reason. The prisoners, after being sentenced,

sentence of Capt. Davis has not yet been an
nounced. On account of his service as wit
ness it will doubtless be modified.
Martial law will probably be discontinued
at Honolulu after the military ycommission has
finished the trials for treason and misprision.
Several days we're occupied with the trials OF
81 natives for treason. All of them were
charged with having carried arms with Now
lein and Wilcox. Three pleaded guilty.
The majority tried to show that they were
compelled to carry arms. Only one OF
them, George Markham, well-con-
nected and capable half-white. seems to have
any show for acquittal. Twenty-one natives
were released from prison mainly for lack Of
evidence against them. One was William
Clark, Mrs. Dominis' steward, who Is condi-
tionally set at large on account of his impor-
tant services In unearthing the arms and
bombs at Washington place and aiding In the
search for the eX-Queen's papers as well rs
for his testimony on her trial.

C. L. FAIR, MILLIONAIRE.
His Sisters Settle with Him for His In
terest I'm His Mothers Estate.

Charles L. Fair of San Francisco, Cal, is
now millionaire. He has disposed of all
his interest in his mothers estate to his
sisters, Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair,
for $500, 900 and the promise of like pay
ment in April, 1897.
When the court decided that Charles could
not get the $500, 900 bequeathed to his brother
James, because it was not payable until 1887,
Charles was in a rather bad way. About this
time Charles and his father became recon-
ciled, and the dead Senator both counseled
and assisted his son to contest his mothers
will.
Mrs. Oelrichs thus comes into 81 900
and Miss Fair will have an equal fortune
when she is twenty-five, in 1900. They will
have absolute joint ownership of Mrs. Fairs
estate, which is constantly increasing from
its original value of "a 1000, 900. 1t has come
to light that at the very time ex-senator Fair
was inveighing against the trust created by his
wiie's will'he made the will conflding the
management of his own estate to trust.
