COUNT KEPT GEMS.
Anna Gould Makes a Discovery Re-
garding Il Diamond Necklace.


LONDON. Jan. 26.-Modern Society, local
weekly paper, published story concerning
Count De Castellane, the husband Of Anna
Gould. 1t says that the count recently
brought to his wife a superb necklace in
diamonds-two rows of blazing light. A few
days later a note came from a well-known
Jeweler, from which the countess learned
that her husbands present to her was worth
2OO,OO0 francs. She did not see how the count
was going to be able to pay so much for the
bauble. so she drove to the jewelers. with a
hint that 1t might be returned.
Madam interrupted the jeweler, "aIlow
me to tell you that this is my own affair and
that of the count exclusively. He made a
present to you Of this necklace and the less
L say on the subject the better"
"All right cried the countess. and she
drove away. Let home, however, but to an
other jeweler. and showed him the riviere,
Having obtained his opinion, She again pre-
scented herself before the first jeweler You
have cheated my husband' the countess ex-
claimed TIL necklace is worth only leo :
600 francs. just half the price you made him
pay-for it,
This time the jeweler. entirely forgetting
the wise precept OF the sage, let his tongue
wag. You would be right he said in a
breath. only, you see, you have only half
of the necklace. 1t had four rows when |
sold it for 200 000 francs"
Since Christmas the count and countess have
hardly spoken to each other and the good
friends are waiting for the sequel of the
story. Who has got the other two rows of
diamonds2 This Is what the countess is try
ing to find out.

JANOwsKI OBJECTS.
VIII Not Accept Provisions Pro-
posed by Champion PiiIsbury.

NEW YORK. Jan. PA letter has been
received by D. Janowski, the French cham,
pion. from Harry n. Pilsbury. the American
champion accepting his challenge for a match
with stakes of $3.50 side. Pillsbury says.
however. In his letter. that it is doubtful
II he could play match before the London
International tournament, which is scheduled
for May. as he Is under contract for three
months yet. and it Is not likely he could alter
the contract. In agreeing to play the match
Mr.. PIllsbury makes several conditions. the
first being that he declines to allow any one
not personally acceptable to him to have
anything to do with the match or its ar,
rangements. He also wants all the profits
from the publication of the news OF the
match and games to be divided between him
self and Janowski, and STIMULATES that they
shall supply the reports themselves allowing
no Newspaper representative to be present;
that the match shall be played in a private
room, and that no one shall be admitted
without the consent of both players.
On receiving this letter JanowsId gave out
a statement to the effect that he would only
play in public and that he would insist that
the newspaper representatives should have
reports of the game free of charge.

PLEAsEs Mr. RIDLEY.
British Home Secretary Glad to Di-
vide Cares With America.

LONDON, JAM 26.-Sir Matthew White
Ridley, secretary Of state for the home de-
partment, was the principal speaker this even
ing at great Unfonist demonstration at
B-ackpool. Referring to the historical events
OF the past year. and particularly to ths
Spanish-American war, the home secretary
said that while the absolute neutrality OF
Great Britain had not been properly appre-
ciated by one Of the contestants, the English
people had been gratifed at the good feeling
which had arisen between the United States
and Great Britain. The results of the war
had been to make the United States an i'm
portant factor. not only in Asiatic but post
America face to face with some OF the colos-
sal problems and difficulties which Great
Britain had long experienced.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons is not coming East to make
match with Sharkey or Jeffrtes just
yet Fitzsimmons is still in Detroit
punching the bag and telling what he
will ultimately do to his rivals. Mean
while Sharkey's manager, Tom
O'Rourke, has decided to make a final
statement regarding the Cornishman,
and also promises that in future he
will keep his peace. This is what
O'ROurke said:
4 have come to the conclusion not to
waste any more time arguing with
Fitzsimmons. If he really wants to
fight Sharkey here is his last chance.
II FitZsimmons, inside of two weeks.
can find reputable club in which the
bout can take place, Sharkey will meet
him in a twenty five-round bout, the
winner to take all If Fitzsimmons
cannot locate a battles ground, the Le-
nox Athletic club will offer $25, 600 in
cash for the bout. The club will also
guarantee to pay $4,000 to Fitzsim-
mons, win or lose. l personally will
wager Fitzsimmons or Julian, or both,
$4,000 or more that Sharkey will win.
/ will also wager $1,000 or 81, 800 with
Fitzsimmons or Julian. or both. that
the fight does not last ten rounds.
The only condition I will name is
this: Fitzsimmons must post S.. 900 in
cash as a guarantee that he will fight
on the level and not fake, the referee,
whoever he may be, or the newspapers,
to judge. Sharkey will post like
forfeit under similar conditions. The
reason 1 shall insist upon this part of
the programme is that l believe Fitz-
simmons. when he fights again, will
try to get all the money, win or lose,
and l want to make him meet Sharkey
on his merits. Any referee of standing
will suit US. So far as the Lenox club
Is concerned, it cannot afford to stand
for anything unless fair. Fitzsimmons
can get just as square a deal here as
i'll some other place, and he knows it.
Il do not believe Fitzsimmons wants
TO fight, but l make this offer with the
hope that am wrong. So far as Fitz-
simmons and Jeffries are concerned.
the Lenox CLUB will not offer a purse
for them at all. Whenever F'itZsim-
mons shows that he means business
in making a match with Sharkev l
will cover his $1,000 forfeit with cold
cash. Sharkey can beat Fitzsimmons,
ard he's got plenty Of money behind
him that says so. Money, by the way,
can speak many languages

Kansas City Judge Holds They Are
as Legal as Boards of Trade

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, jan 26-Last week
seventeen proprietors of ''bucketshops," .dy-
Mantle stock" and race horse pool rooms"
were arrested, charged with violating the
city ordinance against betting on any
event. Even President Moore of the board
OF trade, was arrested, but soon dismissed.
Today Police Judge Burnham handed down
decision dismissing the cases. He holds that
there is no material difference between a
bucketshop and the board of trade, and that
both came under the ban of the ordinance
He holds. however, that the supreme court
has decided that the board OF trade is legal,
and, therefore, the bucketshops are legal.

WIND CAUSES DELAY.
Snow and Strong Blasts Impede the
Running of Trains.

The transcontinental trains eastward bound
were all late yesterday. The delay was due
to the high winds prevailing on the prairie
west of this city. All the engineers report
that 1t is difficult for the locomotives to make
good speed against the blasts that blow direct
ly against the engines.
There Is a good deal OF snow in Dakota and
Montana and that has also impeded the
trains. Both the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific trains from the coast were
an hour late yesterday. The st. Paul-Chicago
trains are moving on time, though they too
report high winds along the lines.
