AND WIFE LIVE APART.
Countess Left Home After scene
with Husband and Has Since
Been Living at Hotcl-ohio Court
sets Tmportant Precedent.

Countess Boni Re Castellane, who was
Miss Anna Gould, is living apart from
her husband. according to a private dis
match received from Paris. The cause
of the estrangement was not given. The
information was corroborated in cable
adyices TO La Prensa of Buenos Ayres,
to the effect that the count and countess
have parted and that a legal separation
will follow. They have three sons,
George Boni and Jay. 1t is reported
that the countess left her home few
DAYS ago. after a scene with her hus-
band. and has been living at the Hotel
Bristol since. Count BOni is said to have
departed for his club and to have made
his home there since the separation. EV-
cry effort is being made, however, tc
bring about a reconciliation. Miss Anna
Gould was married to the Count de Cas-
tellane March /. 1890. Miss Goulds dot
was S1T.O0O.OOO. which had been settled
upon her with the provisO that in case
of legal separation it should revert &c
her. The count told his friends before
the wedding that he expected S2,0OOOOC
TO be settled on him. Three days after
the wedding the Castellanes sailed fol-
Europe. and their lives ever since have
been eventful. In the fourth year OF
their union it was repeatedly asserted
that the counts financial affairs were IL
II bad condition. The announcement came
from Paris. in 1900, that his wife's for
tune had been placed by the French
courts under the trusteeship Of her broth,
err. George J. Gould. 1t was stated that
this measure had been taken at the re-
quest of the Gould family, because the
count had contracted debts Of S4,40O,OOO

THE GIFTS OF MISS ALICE.
VIII Surpass Amy Collection Eve

VIII Surpass Amy Collection Ever
Seen in This Country.
According to a Washington correspond
ent, the gifts which Miss Roosevelt will
receive for her bridal display will be
many and costly. These will include pres
ents from the Gar, the Mikado, the EN-
press of China, the Kaiser, the King and
Queen of England, the Sultan, and pos
sibly the King and Queen of Italy. Near
ly all royal gifts take the form of jew
elry, laces or silk, all of which are among
the highly rated articles when it comes to
paying duty. However, if gifts are sent
to the legations there is no duty, and the
presentations can be made by the ENJOYS
and ambassadors in person.
Miss Roosevelt's gifts will surpass any
collection ever gathered in this country,
Invitations have gone abroad to every
ruler who has a representative in this
country or to whom this country sends
an envoy. There are 80 NATIONS holding
friendly relations with Hail Columbia,
and this does not cover all to whom rep
resentatives are sent.
News of the marriage has awakened
great interest abroad. The Roman pom
tiff, who admires the vigorous American
President so greatly that he is having
all his works translated into Italian, has
instructed his delegate in Washington,
Mgr. Diomede Falconi, to ask if the dis
tinguished pair will accept a gift of mo-
sale, designed in the papal institution in
the Vatican. This gift is meant to COM
pliment Mr.. Longworth, as we'll as Miss
Roosevelt. He is the nephew of Mrs.
Bellamy Storer, wife of the ambassador
TT Vienna, whom the pontiff knows we'll
and admires exceedingly.
The Sultan of Turkey is another who
is deeply engrossed in the preparations
for the nuptials. His gift, according to
those who know his traditions, is sure to
be a priceless gem-a diamond, ruby, en-
erald or sapphire.

Missouri announced that sufficient evil
dence had been produced to warrant the
bringing of criminal proceedings against
the Standard Oil Company under the

" on the statements of Louis II. Turrell,

he was induced by the trust officers to

FOR AND AGAINST FOOTBALL.
Harvard Banishes, While Yale De-
tends the Game.

tends the tame.
Close on the heels of Harvard's decis-
ion to Danish football as played at pres
ent, her traditional athletic rival, Yale,
has come out in defense of the game.
President Hadley, at the recent dinner
of the New York alumni, said that foot
ball was bound to be played, if properly
modified, and that, among all major
sports it has for the student the double
advantage of being the most democratic
and the least dangerous. Played by rich
and poor alike, it claims fewer victims
than the sports whose successful pursuit
is confined to the rich alone" lie refer
red to frequent deaths from hunting and
sailing, but said that during the thirty
years that Yale had played Rugby foot
ball no death or permanent injury had re
suited to a Yale man.
President Faunce says that the faculty
at Brown is wrestling with the subject,
but that he fears that the public has
become hystericaI over it, and that the
sins of all sport will be loaded on to foot
ball. After all, he thinks the physical
danger is of far less Importance than the
social and ethical side of the game.
At Chicago the representatives of the
''big nine western colleges have decided
upon many radical changes for football
and other college athletics, with the pur-
pose of curbing professionalism. 1t was
agreed that, unless football were modified
SO as to prevent brutality by the rules
committee, the big nine" would discon-
tinue the game for two years. 1t was de-
cided that in future the college faculties
should have charge of the gate receipts.
One rule proposed would bar all graduate
students from the matches. y player
must have as many recitatiOns during the
football season as at any other time of
the year. The students shall have moth
ing to do with the securing of coaches,
and the coach must be a member of the
faculty. The committee would limit the
number of intercollegiate games in a
season to five and limit the admission
fees to 80 cents.
