which has been leased by tho count for
the next three years beginning with tho
coming autumn. There must b. some
misrepresentation with reference TO the
counts means. as he is known to be very
well on. and through his cousin is related
TO the French branch Of the Bothschilda.
Another cousin OF his was formerly French
ambassador to the court Of the car,
and the count himself last summer gave
1900 francs to the hospital at Havre.
The Goulds themselves have said that
there is no truth in the assertion that Miss
Anna viii formally embrace the Catholic
religion but there can be no doubt that

should they be blessed with any, viii be
brought up In that faith. The dispensa-
tion from the pope would bc granted on no
other terms, and when it is remembered
that the Castellanes for eight generations
nave been .staunch supporters of the
papacy, it seems likely that the rumors of
Miss Gould's conversion to the Catholic
faith which were rife when she entered
the convent near Versailles about a year
ago have some element Of probability in
them.
In spite of the denial Of the statement
that the count is to have the sum Of
NVJO0O settled upon him. it Is known
that the bride win have the encumbran-
ces against the Castellane estates in Nor
mandy cleared off without delay. The
counts family have poss ssed FOR three
generations chalets in various parts OF
France, but they are all rather heavily
mortgaged, and il Is reasonable TO as
sumo that with rich wife his debts

has come from abroad that the Castel-
lane fortunes have Frightened cousidera-
Nly since the confirmation of the story
of the engagement. Miss Gould, it is
further ascertained. viii dwell perma-
nenuy in France after her wedding. and
this country has probably seen the last
OF her for many years, once she goes
abroad. But 1t must be remembered that
from foreign point of view Miss Gould
Is making a very brilliant marriage
/ Count de Castellane is no ordinary impe-
cunious foreigner, and could easily have
married into some of the richest Euro
pean families, while his relatives are not
only very wealthy but are powerful polit-
icaliy and financially The count has
likewise made a very favorable impress
sion since he came over here.
The match is deemed a triumph for
Mrs. Paran Stevens. who encouraged it
from the first. and who gave the brilliant
series of dances and dinners at which

The spectators in Hawaiian seouri-

that they are applying for State Commits
sionerships in New York, positions which
would give them decided advantage in
trading with the islands. The state seal
of Hawaii, as it is called, is already dis
played in the office of the Hawaiian boom

with the oriental crescent and the scimeter
so familiar to the street on the face
of the bonds. If Hawaii is ever annexed
