COUNT BONl As A DGa JUN
The Countess Castellane'S Divorce
Case On Trial.

Paris (By Cable) The first or
the Castellane lawsuits, so long and
so often postponed, came up for trial
in the Palace of Justice Wednesday.
1t not only drew a crowd, which in
! cluded many women, but furnished
much sensational matter regarding
the private lift of Count Boni de Cas-
| tellane.
The case at bar was Countess An
mas action for absolute divorce. Her
lawyer, Maitre Cruppi, refrainlng
from mentioning the names of the
women inculpated in the serious
charges brought against Count Cas-
| tellane, but otherwise he did not
mince matters or words. The hear
ing was in. open court, and 1t is en-
| pected that all the sessions gill be
open.
Maitre Cruppi occupied four hours
in his opening address, and then did
not finish. Consequently the trial
promises to be a long one. 1t is
understood that the lawyers have
agreed not to mention the names OF
the persons involved in the charges
on either side in either of the coun-
tersuits If they can avoid it, but as
| the lawyers know just who these in
dividuals are it will not be regarded
as strange if one of them some day
| speaks the real name instead of re-
ferring to him or her by letter OF
the alphabet. Maitre Cruppi alone
referred to II or IL women of the
two worlds as Mesdames A, G or X.
Aside from the scandal, which
drew the curious to court, Metre
Cruppi's revelations of the extent to
which Count Castellane had broken
into his wife's fortune aroused the
sharpest attention Maitre Cruppi,
in dramatic opening, pictured the
events that led the Countess to seek
divorce. He told of the sudden loss
of her ideals, and of the wasting OF
her fortune by her husband. He
described the reception given in hon
or of the King of Portugal on De-
cember 13, 1905, by Countess Anna
in her palace in the Champs Elysee
and said that the next day the Coun-
tess appealed to the courts for a di-
vorce.
Such a sever arraignment has prob
ably seldom been heard in this court
room. He painted Count Boni in
the blacklist of colors, declaring him
to be rapacious, brutal and licentious,
while the Countess was held up as
the long-suffering and innocent vic
tim. Nothing was spared and moth
ing was CLOSED over.
In chronological order Maitre-
Cruppi recounted the history of the
alliance, which, he said, had been
unhappy from the very honeymoon,
owing to the incredible extravaganza
of the husband, who in five years
used up the colossal fortune that the
daughter of Jay Gould had brought
him.
Count Boni's inordinate and in
satiable demands for money, accord
ing to the attorney for the Coun-
tess, began as soon as the couple ar
rived in Paris, and led Immediately
to i'll treatment and abuse and soon
to blows.

New York, Especially The United
States now holds the record of Ear
thest north''-S7 degrees 6 minutes.
This feat was accomplished by Com
mander Robert E. Peary, OF the
United States Navy.
The intrepid Arctic explorer failed
to reach the North Pole, as he had
confidently hoped to do with his spec
tally constructed vessel, the Roose-
welt, but he penetrated nearer to the
Pole than the Duke of Abruzzis ex-
petition, which had held the Arctic
record, sc degrees "a minutes.
What Commander Peary did and
his experiences during the past year
in the frozen North are rather briefly,
but certainly wildly, summarized in
a communication received Friday
night by Herbert L. Bridgeman, Sec
rotary of the Peary Arctic Club. This
communication follows:
A Succinct Narrative.
Hopedale, Labrador, via Twillingate,
N. F., November 2.
Herbert l.. Bridgeman:
Roosevelt wintered north coast
Grant Land somewhat north Alert
winter quarters. Went north with
sledges February via Heckla and Co
lumbia. Delayed by open water be-
tween "a degrees and IS degrees.
Beyond IS degrees six days. Gale
disrupted ice, destroyed caches, cut
off communication with supporting
bodies and drifted due east. Reach
81 degrees minutes north latitude
over the ice, drifting steadily east
ward. Returning ate eight dogs.
Drifted eastward; delayed by open
water; reached north coast Greenland
in straitened conditions. Killed musk
oxen and returned along Greenland
Coast to ship. Two supporting par
ties driven on north coast of Green
land. One rescued by me in starv-
ing condition. After one week recu-
peration on Roosevelt s1edged west,
completing north coast Grant Land
and reached other land, near one
hundredth meridian Homeward voy-
age incessant battle with ice, storms
and head winds. Roosevelt mag
nificent ice fighter and sea boat. No
deaths or illness in expedition.
(Signed) Peary.
Mr.. Bridgeman said that the re-
ceipt of any news from the explorer
now was quite surprise to him, be-
cause he had supposed it had be-
come too late in the season for Com
mander Peary to send news of his
venture.
How The Message Came.
Mr.. Bridgeman added that the
message spoke for itself and that
since he did not know more of the
results of Commander Peary's eff
fort to reach the Pole than the public
did, he could hardly comment upon
the dispatch. There was little doubt.
however, he said, that Commander
Peary was coming home. This seems
to be borne out by the routing of the
dispatch. Hopedale, or Hoffenthal
is Moravian mission station on the
east coast of Labrador. Twillingate
is a port on the east coast of New
foundland.
Mr.. Bridgeman said the message
was probably mailed by Commander
Peary from Hopedale to the most
accessible cable point.
