STILL LOVES HER COUNT.
George Gould Denies That His Sister,
Anna, Is Seeking
Divorce.

New York. Dec. 1.-THE Count and
Countess of Castelane are living most hap
ply and any talk to the contrary is an in
iquitous lie
That statement was made to-day by Mr..
George Gould.
The report that my sister Anna con-
templates Il separation from her husband
is nonsense" he said. There never has
been any serious difficulty between them.
and all this talk of the counts eNtrav-
aGance dissipating his wife's fortune is
false from beginning to end.
IF any such thing We're in contcmpla-
tion" continued Mr.. Gould. Il wond
know all about It. for 1 would have been
consulted and would he instrumental in
taking the initiative action toward Il sep
aration if such step were in contcmpla-
ton.
The relations between the count and
countess are as happy as possible, and |
regret that such nonsense as these rumors
should for moment obtain credence."
The report that Anna Gould regrets her
marriage is based upon gossip among the
members of the American colony in Paris.

COCKRELL IS NO INVALID.
Lives Three Miles From the Capitol.
but Makes the Journey
EoOt.

Washington. Dec. 1i.-tSpecialo Senator
Cockrell lives three miles from the capitol
and he walks the round trip every day
Besides this. he tramps all around the
departments every day. He was GS years
Old on the LIST day of October. Damaging
stories have been circulated lately about
the senior senator from Missouri. They
Were to the effect that he was failing rap
idly. that he was getting old, and as re-
suit might not want to he reelected some
years hence. Possibly by way OF assuring
his friends of his physical powers ne has
taken TO long walks and violent physical
exercise.
The senator. in fact. does not in his per-
sOnal appearance suggest the need of n
hospital or the recupcrattve qualities OF not
springs. II" never took IL vacation any
way, and should he attempt il he might
make Il failure OF it. His failure to in
du!ge in festive senate restaurant lunches
and his close attention TO Il common sense
diet is partial explanation of his ability to
indulge in the luxury of long walks and
the further pleasure of constant work.
