POOR ANNA GOULD.
HerCOunt's ExtravaganeeLeads
to Talk of Divorce.

London, Dec. 13.-It is whispered in Sc
lect circles in London and Paris that seri-
Gus trouble has arisen between the Count
and Countess Boni CastelIane over the
formers extravaganza. Even the vast
fortune of jay Gould's daughter was
proving unequal to the drain made upon
it by the financial follies of Count Boni.
Information now comes from the same
source that the question of a possible sep
aration by mutual consent. or if not a
legal decree, to be applied for by the
countess, is now being discussed by rela>
ttves and lawyers acting on behalf of
both husband and wife.
Matters appear to have been brought to
a head by the absolute refusal of the
countess to advance any more money to
meet the constantly increasing demands
for the accomplishment of Count Roni's
colossal folly of building a replica of
the grand Trianon in Avenue Bots de Bou-
logne. The construction of this lordly
pleasure house has been interrupted be-
cause the countess, acting by the advice
Of her relatives. declined to give anything
more toward the enormous funds neces-
sary for its completion on the scale Of
grandeur projected by her husband. The
outlay on costly marbles alone IS said to
be fabulous It was proposed that the
palace should include theater gorgeous
~ decorated by the principal living art
lists. and provided with all the most per-
feet modern scenic appointments and an
auditorium large enough to seat so
guests.
The extravaganza of Count Boni in all
possible directions amounts really TO
mania Everything he gets must be sew
eral degrees more costly and more rare
than is possessed by even his wealthiest
friends. It would take the wealth o.
Monte Cristo to satiate his passion for
throwing away money. Except that he
is rather worthless and utterly conceited,
nothing beyond idiotic extravaganza is al
legged against him.
Much sympathy is felt with the countess
in the unfortunate marriage into which
the glitter of a great title and the CLAM
our of a famous family drew her. She
il naturally quiet, retiring ana amiable.
without any apparent desire to take ad
vantage of the social position which her
fortune has secured for her. She IS. in
fact. rather a lay figure in the C-astellane
household and the financial demands of
her husband must have been startling.
indeed. when she was spurred to resist
them. The talk Of separation is regarded
by friends of the family more as a last
attempt to put the screws on Count Boni
by frightening him into putting curb
On his expenditures than q serious pro-
ject, but all the same he is so devoid of
sense and so monstrously vain that the
ultimate crash cannot be averted very
long.

A SINGLE TAX TOWN.
Mayor of Prescott, Ariz, Tells How
it Works


New York. Dec. 13.-Wi1Iiam O.O'NeiIL
forces and mayor of Prescott, A. t, the
is in town.
General O'Nein was first impressed
with the George single tax theory
through his experience with the obstac-
les to AriZona's development caused by
the lodgment of vast tracts of land in
the hands OF q few men who would not
cultivate it, but waited for more enter
prising men to improve surrounding
lands. For that reason General O'Neiu
IS a single tax man and mayor of Pres
colt, and what he says goes.
Last January he informed Prescott
that it was going to be a single tax
city and now it is. The single tax law
has now been in operation for four
months. General O'Nei1I says that it is
working satisfactorily. He added:
The charter provides that taxes
must be levied upon property values.
We get around this provision by impos-
ing taxes based partly on a rent value
and partly upon market value. To let
none escape, the least tax that can be
imposed upon a lot is s.. Our personal
property taxes were levied largely
ness and industries. These are now
done away with almost entirely, the ex-
captions being gambling and liquor sell
ing.
Business men, manufacturers and
their employees are all pleased. One tax
is now paid instead of four, and if a
Workingnan does not soon have a home
it viii be the fault of his lack of indus
try and thrift

Not Authorized.

Uncle Dave Hefebower who has sew

Office Of state treasurer has been per
sua6ed by his subordinates to make the
following statement:
To the Public: Articles have appeared
in several papers at various times to
the effect that did not desire. nor
would stand for a denomination for the
Office of which am now the incumbent.
These statements are erroneous made
without my knowledge or approval.
Knowing fuH well that the next F0pu-

candidates for public trust and not the

not considered q contradiction of these

right with all these words are sub

It is contrary to the tenets and teach
irgs of the P0pulist party for the candi-
date TO seek the Office: but that the of
fee should seek the man. Especially
should its representatives who are pub
lie servants zeaIouSly obey this maxim
I am a firm believer in these principles.
The preference of the people will be
expressed through the medium of a del
egated convention. To its wisdom and
sovereignty I bow As to whether or
not I have proven faithful to the trust
