COUNTESS DE cAsTELLANE RE.
FUSES TO WITHDRAW SUIT
FOR SEPARATION.
UNDER FRENCH LAW EACH RE
sUMEs CONTROL OF THEIR
OWN PROPERTY.

Paris, Feb. 8.-Strong efforts con-
dnue to be made In behalf of the Cas-
tellane family to bring about the aban-
donment Of the divorce suit begun by
the Countess Boni de Castellane (for-
merly Anna Could, but up to the pres.
ent the desired result has not been
achieved. An attempt made to obtain
the countess assent to judicial sep
aration without an absolute divorce
has also been unsuccessful and prob
ably the case will pursue the ordinary
course, coming up for hearing at no
fixed date, but 1t Is expected that 1t
will be heard three weeks hence.
According to the French law there
is no further necessity for the defend
ant to appear unless the Judge decides
that his evidence Is essential. The
pronouncement of a decree dissolves
any contract relative to marriage set
Elements, each party resuming control
Of their own property. A divorced
woman may not remarry within ten
months after Judgment, while an ap-
peal against decision must be lodged
within six months.
A report, which cannot be confirmed,
says that Count Boni has entered a
counter plea. claiming heavy damages.

Both of these statements, the wit

ITO the best of my knowledge" said
Professor Wolfe, 'polygamous cohab-
itation has increased very materially
since Utah was admitted as state"
On cross-examination Mr.. Worthing-
ton produced the original charges
brought against Cluff by Professor
Wolfe and other members of the Mex
lean expedition. The witness was
asked why he had refrained from max
ing the charge that Cluff was living In
Mexico with Florence Reynolds.
For several reasons" replied
Wolfe. "The chief one was that po-
lygamy was not crime In the eyes OF
the church"
Professor Wolfe said he believed the
''seed of treason" was sown In the
oath of vengeance. In answer to ques-
tions by Chairman Burrows he de-
scribed the interior OF the temple.
Among the pictures was one OF Sen
ator Smoot.

FORCED TO PART WITH WATCH
Count Boni dc Casteilane Already in
Financial Straits.

Count Roni de casteiIane Already in
Financial Straits.
Paris, Feb. 8.-Swift retribution oi
q tragic kind. even II 1t has a comic
element, has overtaken Count Boni de
Castellane for the wrongs suffered al
his hands by his American wife.
Count Boni has been obliged to sell
outright his watch and articles of per
sonal jewelry in order to provide him
self with pocket money for his or
dinary daily requirements.
When the count and countess part
ed so suddenly the counts personal
bank account happened to be exhaust
ed. a not infrequent state Of affairs
He was too angry or too proud, or
perhaps too much afraid OF q rebuff
to appeal to his wife for current spend
ing money. His determination to keep
secret the fact of his domestic calam-
ity so long as there remained any hope
of patching up reconciliation pre-
vented him from tapping the purses OF
his friends.
Count Boni has been for the last few
days besieged by his creditors. On
the other hand he is closely pursued
by money lenders who are eager to
speculate on his future by advancing
him almost any amount.

WATERING ITS STOCK.
Standard Oil Hopes to Dispel Public
Criticism.

Standard Oil Hopes to Dispel Public
Criticism.
New York, Feb. 8.-Unoficial an
nouncement Is made In Wall street
that the Standard Oil company Is pre-
pairing to increase its capital stock
from $100,0 900 to $500. 100000 by
Issuing six shares for each one now
outstanding. 1t is not designed to
raise Immediately any money on this
new issue. but simply to divide the
present high priced shares into six
and give them to old stockholders.
The company has two objects in do
ing this. One is to try to dispel public
criticism that arises every time the
Standard declares 40 or 48 per cent
dividend. The other is to bring the
stock among larger number OF hold
ers SO there may be missionaries In
every town to help stem the rising tide
of opposition to the trust.
It is argued that the salvation OF
the steel trust is It's enormous num-
ber of small stockholders and the
Standard at last is seeking cover from
antitrust sentiment.

apportioned 1t into small farms and
have distributed them among them
selves. There are no police or troops

Question of AGE.

II. A. Buck, who looks after the in
terests of the Pennsylvania Railroad
in San Francisco, was calling on Prof.
jerks, Of Cornell, at the ST.. Francis
Hotel the other day. They were ex-
changing raillery and airy persi1age,
and beclouding the ambient atmos-
phere with much smoke, when brass
buttoned bellboy cut short their ban
ter by handing the Cornell professor
a card
Pardon me moment, Harry" said
Prof. jerks, as he proceeded to read
an inscription on the card. 1t reao:
Some years ago on the occasion of
a visit to Alaska, l enjoyed the pleas
ure OF meeting your father, and I
would be deeply sensible Of the priv
ilege and honor Of shaking hands with
his SON"
s'How old was the man who sent up
this card?,' asked Prof. Jones of the
bellboy..
about 30. sir" said the bellboy.
A thought clouded the brow of the
professor for a moment. Then he
wrote something on the back of the
card and handed it back to the bell
boy. The something ON the back of
the card read:
My father died thfrty-seven years
ago. If you have any other good rea-
son for wishing to see me I should be
pleased to have you come up Sac
Francisco Chronicle.
