Former Husband of Anna Gould to
 Go to England For Bride.

Former Husband of Anna Gould to
 Go to England For Bride.
 PARIS, Dec 7.--society here has 1t that Count Boni dc Castellano. whom the former Anna Gould has recently divorced, will go to England, where, it Is asserted, he will wed Mme Letil- Her, the divorced wife of Albert Me nier, weslthy chocolate manufac- turer.
 After being divorced by Albert Me nier Mme Letillier married Baron de Forest, the adopted son and heir of Baron Hirsch, the famous Australian railway magnate and now one of the wealthiest men in England. She is di- vorced from him also.
 Mime. Letillier was one of the most famous beauties of Paris.
 Mme. Letillier and Mime. Gould know each other well. The former Is tho daughter of the owner of the Paris Journal and is reported to be worth $15. 10000
 The reply of Maitre Cruppi, counsel for Count Boni de Castellane and the former countess in the suit of their creditors, described how the trades mems and usurers' bills had been clev- erly mixed up and reiterated the will ingness of Mime. Gould to settle legiti- mate debts, although a delay was nee. essary, as there were no funds from the trustees of the estate at her dis posal at present. Counsel argued that it was unjust and illegal to attempt to make Mme Gould responsible for the enormous sums borrowed by Count Boni of usurers to meet his mad ex- travagances and princely prodigality."
 Count Boni was the recipient yes terday of the most stinging and over whelming rebuke ever administered to a member of the chamber of deputies when he ascended the tribune to make speech. About half the deputies abruptly left the chamber, and the movement was so concerted that it ap- peared to have been evidently planned for the purpose of snubbing Castel- lane.

TO SUE FOR MILLIONS
Huge Railway Land Grab Deal
 In the West.
CHARGES AGAINST A LAND OFFICE,
Two Senators Said to Re Involved Tn Greatest Graft Scandal on Rec- ord - Government Wants to
 Recover Large Tracts.

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 7.--It is re. ported that scandals in high places, criminal prosecutions and suits by the United States government to recover lands worth hundreds of millions of dollars are now certain to result from investigations concerning the relations of the Hartman and Gould railroads 10 the coal industry of the west
 Testimony of startling nature is said to have been taken before the Interstate commerce commission at Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake City before the present hearing at Salt Lake City began and which has since been suppressed by order of the commission.
 It was the purpose of this testimony to show that the Union Pacific rail- road and the Rio Grande Western ac- quired thousands of acres of valuable coal lands from the government by ir- regular means. Already the govern ment has sued to recover part of this land. and still other and more impor- tant proceedings are to come, which, it Is believed, will lead to one of the greatest legal battles in which the gov. ernment has ever engaged.
 Witnesses have charged the general land ohlce and Senators Warren and Clark of Wyoming with complicity in Wyoming land frauds, and much of the most important testimony regard ing the illegal acquisition of land by the Hartman interests was wrung by the commissions lawyers from D. 0. Clark, superintendent of the Union Pa ciflc's main subsidiary coal company.
 Among the witnesses was Special Agent Meyendorff. who was engaged in an investigation under Secretary Hitchcock.s He declared that after he had unearthed the land frauds Senator Warren had warned him that he had incurred the enmity of the Union Pa ciflc and tried to induce him to stop the investigation and leave the state, as his inquiries might bring about the defeat of Senator Clark. Refusing to yield, he was suspended and afterward transferred to Los Angeles.
 Tn addition the revelations have led to the finding of several indictments by a grand jury at Salt Lake. They include, it Is said, charges against the general land office and two United States senators, which, it is said, inAu- enced President Roosevelt to recom- mend that the government coal lands be permanently withdrawn from settle ment.

Fine carxlna on chests.

Old oak chests were carved, often with marvellous intricacy and beauty. often presenting in comparative minia. ture counterpart to the carving that was common in churches at a time when artisans were artists; some chests display a carving very similar to that seen on old bench ends and pulpit panels.
