london, Aug. MAY Yohe drove to
the Savoy Hotel early this morning
and registered as Lady Francis Hope.
She spent the day dejectedly reading
and rereading a batch of letters which
she had just received from Putnam B.
strong and in which, while urging for
givenness and beseeching news of Miss
Yohe's future movements, he carefully
disguised his own whereabouts. On
the inside flap of one envelope, Strong
wrote:
send word by him (bearer) if you
forgive me-"
on reading this, Miss Yohe exclaim-
ed:
There have been all sorts of friends
here to-day Offering me all sorts of
inducements to leave here, but care
only for Bradlee. Where is he? Why
don't they bring him to me? Why
does he write me if he doesn't love
me? 1 would forgive him in a minute
if he would only say that he is sorry"
Miss Yohe grew quite hysterical.
Strongs letters declared that he was
within a days ride of Paris, which was
obscure enough to leave Miss Yohe in
doubt as to whether he was in Eng
land or at Genoa.
Miss Yohe had all her trunks pack
ed in readiness to go to Paris. but an
intimation she received that Strong
was not there, finally decided her to
remain in London. Referring to this
decision, she said:
IL don't see how l can spend an
other night in this miserable place,
but l suppose I must
Prior to leaving London, Strong told
his friends he intended to go to the
United States and never to see Miss
Yohe again. 1t is now evident that
he has changed his plans, and that
a reconciliatory meeting between him
and Miss Yohe is only matter of
few days. Such a meeting would
probably have occurred already if
Strong were not doubtful as to Miss
Yohes attitude in the matter of Grim
inal proceedings against him.

CASTELLANES TO PAY.
C""nfe@s' Life May BE Insured for
Benefit or Creditor.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Paris, July S0.-It was learned to-
day that Samuel Untemyer of New
York, while in Paris several days ago,
en- route for ST. Moritz, succeeded in
effecting a settlement of the long
pending litigation between Asher Wer-
theimer, the London antique dealer
and the Count and Countess Boni de
Castellane. The suits have been be-
fore the American courts for more
than a year and are still undecided.
six judges who have thus far heard
the case being divided equally in opin-
ion. The case is now on appeal to the
highest court in New York.
By the terms of the settlement Wer-
theimer's claim is admitted for the
full amount, with interest at per
cent. The Countess, who was former
ly Miss Anna Gould, agrees to pay at
the rate of 100000 francs ($100, 000) per
year. AS the claim with interest is
about 100000 ($400,000) this arrange
ment is equivalent to undertaking TO
pay in four annual installments. To
secure the payments the American
courts are to make an order for In
stallments out of the income in the
hands of George ]. Gould, trustee.
According to the reports, to provide
against the possibility of loss in the
event of the Countess death, it is
agreed that she furnish Mr. Wertheim-
er with life insurance policies for the
amount of the claim in full.
A Riot of ExtraNagance.
Ever since 1895. when athe little
French Count married the daughter
of Jay Gould the Castellanes have
spent money like water and broken
the record for extravaganza in the
French capital. And the liberal for
tune left by Jay Gould to his daugh-
ter was melting away rapidly when
Mr. George Gould took their affairs
in hand and administered the estate
so that the Countess should receive
the income from the millions she had
left, but should not further impair
the principal.
Seven months after the Castellanes
were wed the Count, who had been
without money before ne met Anna
Gould bought, with the consent OF
the Countess, for 100000 francs
about s940, OO0) site on the corner Of
Avenue du Bots de Boulogne and Ave

BILE palace, which he afterward built.
1t is an imitation Of the Petit Trianon
at Versailles. Work on the palace was
frequently stopped because the Count
could not get money fast enough 10

meet the bills. The palace cost 5000, 900
francs (about $1,000, 0O0).
In 1896 dazzling fete was given by
the Count and Countess, which is said
to have cost an immense sum.
In November, 1897. the Countess paid
100000 francs (about $200,000) for a
site in the Rue Jierre Charron for
the erection of a permanent charities
bazaar building, which was formally
opened a year or two ago.
The claims of Wertheimer were for
superb antiques and costly bric-a-brac
that the Castellanes bought for their
vast palace in Paris. When the Count
got into financial straits he refused to
pay the bills. and then Wertheimer
brought suit in the courts.
