is anything that woman hates it is to
talk about her friends.
Somebody must have peeped at the
letter, however, for within a day or so
everybody was saying: "Of course, you
have heard the latest from Paris. Anna
Gould and the count are in awful straits.
They say it is all his fault. He is
sharp one, you know. He made up his
mind to marry Anna, and ne did it.
Why, when he came over here he had to
take a little two by two furnished room.
That was all he could afford, and the
Goulds had to pay his papa's and his
mammals passage money over to this
country at the time of the wedding, and
because they would not pay their pas
sage home their father-in-law was angry,
and when he got back to Paris wrote
his impressions of America, and said we
were all stingy and thought of nothing
but money.
.'But Anna has something of her IA
Their in her, and nobody ever said he was
a fool, and before she married the count
she made certain arrangements by which
her fortune was to remain in this coun-
try. If she had taken it with her the
laws of France would have given every
cent of it to her husband. AS long as it
is in this country he can't touch it.
''Her income from her fortune is sent
over to her by her brother, and this
money the count could claim. In some

way or other Anna managed the count,
however, and did not allow him any too
much small change. So the count
thought out an elaborate scheme; He
went into partnership with the trades
men. They doubled their prices for ev-
erything they sold to his countess, and
then gave him so per cent. of the extra
price. In that way he managed to
increase his income. Really, he is a
smart young man. Just recently Anna
found herself in pretty hard straits and
SO she has sent French lawyer over
to talk with George and see if she can't
get him to allow her more money"
There, that's the story. Of course, it
is impossible to say whether it's true or
not. John T. Dillon is George Gould's
lawyer. He was not in a good humor
today when he was asked if it were
true. ''Of course, there's nothing in the
report" he said. ''Mr. Cachard has not
come over here to settle up any affairs
for the countess. She has no affairs to
settle up"
..Have you seen Mr.. Cachard?''
''That is an impertinent question"
Mr.. Cachard is no more communion
tive.

Demands Free Silver.

Peoria, H., June 23.-John P. Altgeld
is the nominee of the Democratic party
for governor of Illinois. He was unan-
imously placed at the head of the ticket
this afternoon. He had no opponent and
few moments before the honor was
thrust upon him declared that he did not
want it. He said so at the conclusion
of one of the most impressive speeches
ever made before Il Democratic conven-
ton. He said that he was physically
unable to lead the fight. and his financial
affairs were in bad shape and needed
his attention. No sooner had he men
toned his desire to retire from public
life than there came an imprisoned

COUNTESS NEEDS CASH.
De Castellane's Expenses Would
Make the Wizard of Wall
Street CrOan.

New York, June 26.-It is common talk
in society that Anna Gould and her hus-
band, the Count de Castellane, are in
need of larger allowance of money to
pay current expenses, and that they have
sent to this country Paris lawyer to
confer with George Gould, who controls
the estate, and try to induce him to
loosen the purse strings. What gives
color to the story is the fact that Hen
ry Cachard, who is connected with the
Paris branch of the firm of Coudert
Bros. is now in the city. and has been
here for week.
About the same time that the lawyer
arrived in New York there also came
q long letter to New York society
leader. In this letter were certain
things that were "just between you and
me- Of course, the society leader did
not tell a thousand others within the
next twenty-four hours what was in the
letter. She was a woman, and if there

1t was strange convention, and will
not soon be forgotten. 1t was in ses-
sion only a little over five hours. Near
ly all the candidates were nominated by
reclamation. There was no strife, there
were no acrimonious speeches save those
directed against the enemy.
The convention as had been predicted
came out strongly for silver and so in
s:ructed it's MISUNDERSTANDING to the ma
tional convention. The platform was al
most Numerically opposite in all it's
parts to that of the Republican party and
the 1865 delegates voted unanimously
for it's adoption.
The first part of the financial platform
read:
We favor the soundest and safest money
known to man, and experience has shown
that this consists of both gold and silver
with equal rights of coinage and full legal
tender power. We demand the repeal of
the Republican and plutocratic legislation
which demonetized silver and reduced it to.
the basis of token money, destroying by One-S
half the stock of real money and by doubling
the work to be done by gold, doubled it's
purchasing power so that the farmers and
producers had to give twice as much work
to get dollar they formerly had, and
found it hard to meet the debts, interest,
taxes and fixed charges which were not low
cred. ;,
Having learned through bitter experience
that Wall street las controlled the financial
legislation at Washington and knowing that
every effort will be made to defeat tie win
Of the people we deem it proper to be ex.
plicit in our declarations.
Actuated by the foregoing principles and
desiring the prosperity of the people, we
demand the immediate restoration Of the
free and unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver as standard money at the rate of 16
ounces of silver to l ounce of gold of equal
fneness, with full legal tender power to each
metal without waiting for depending on
any other nation on earth; and the delegates
from this convention to the national Demo-
honorable means to secure a similar declara-
ton by said national convention and to sup
port only such men for the presidency as
are in full and pronounced sympathy with
these principles.
We are also opposed to the contraction Of
the currency by the retirement Of any part
of the outstanding treasury notes.

with the Valkyres calling to each other from
