the countess worn out with her hus-
bands 1nsincerity, wrote him three
postal cards, one Of which read: MY
response is the refusal OF a respectable
woman to see such libertine."
The wording of the other postal
cards was equally emphatic, one read
ing: DO not think | am so stupid as
Madame - = -imagines." The last
postal card was signed: with my
profound scorn.'
Counsel described the countess gen
erous offer to settle $4,000 a year on
the count for life, which the latter re-
jected. He was offered $4,000 and
100000 to pay his personal debts, but
wanted $4,000 and the settlement of
all his debts.
There was f1utter of excitement just
before counsel closed his summing up
when he referred to a forgery in the
possession of the side, designed to
"blacken the character" of a promi-
nent attorney ard man conspicuous
in public. But Maitre Cruppi said he
would not pursue the matter unless
compelled to do so.
After the court had taken a recess
Maitre Bonnet. of counsel for Count
Boni, began his reply by describing
the dreams of luxury of a young Amer
lean heiress when she married a
French noblemap, resulting in max
ing the life Of extravaganza upon which
she entered quite natural to her.
Counsel then read affectionate let
ters written by the countess to the
count eXcusing her inability to furnish
funds because her brother George
would not supply them The divorce
proceedings counsel said were due
to the evil counsel of mischief-makers.
Without diverse influence counsel
was sure the countess would return to
her husband.
As for the tales Of servants and
chauffeurs, Maitre Bonnet classed such
evidence, mere declarations not made
under oath, as a comedy and conse-
quently he insisted On the examina-
tion of witnesses.
Maitre Bonnet. protested Indignantly
against the bitterness shown against
his client in picturing him as the bru-
tai jailer of his wife. Counsel said:
''The count has not been the brute he
has been described to have been. He
always has been a gallant gentleman,
who has respectful affections for his
wife. The counts only thought has
been to give his wife the luxurious,
queenly existence of which he dream
ed
Counsel for the count declared that
the Gould family did not look favor
ably on a divorce At any rate George
J. Gould wrote to Count Boni that he
was profoundly grieved at what had
happened.
Before counsel had concluded the
court adjourned until tomorrow.

Washington, November 7.-PresidGG:
Roosevelt has directed that a repri-
mand be administered to Willis L.
Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
for his action in the case of a printer
named Cooper in his Office who had
been expelled from the typographical
union for not paying his strike assess
ments. Mr.. Moore, it is alleged, urged
Cooper on two occasions to pay his as
sessment, but the latter refused and he
was expelled from the union Follow
ing this Cooper was transferred to
New Orleans and he claimed that this
action on the part Of Mr.. Moore was
intended as punishment.
not complying with the demands of the
typographical union. The matter was
referred to the civil service oOn:mis-
sion, which without reporting on the
question of whether Or not Cooper 5
transfer was intended as a punishment,
held that Mr. Moore's action in urging
the payment of the strike assessment
was improper. Under the circumstan-
ces the commission expressed the Opin-
ion that CoOper's transfer would not be
for the good of the service as this
would give the impression that it was
intneded as a punishment.
Cooper, accordingly will be re-instat-
ed in his former position in the weather
bureau in Washington and the repri-
mand to Mr.. Moore will at the direc-
tiOn of the president, be administers
by the secretary of agriculture.

horrors and charging the authorities
of Bialystok with deliberately prepar-

appeared.

INVESTIGATION.

st. Petersburg, June 20.-M. Vina-
yer, a member of the lower house, has
received the following dispatch from
M. Jacobson, a member of the COM
mission sent to Bialystok by the lower
house of parliament to investigate the
Jewish massacres there:
"Order was restored yesterday.
Seventy.eight Jews and six Christians
have been buried. The majority Of
the dead were killed with bayonets
or rifle bullets. The total of the dead
has not yet been established. A Cos
sack yesterday killed a passing Jew.

declared that the massacre was not
the result of race hatred, but was due
to provocation and the troops and po-
lice participated in the outrages.
"The reports that Jews and revolu-
tionists attacked the inhabitants are
false"
