Hopes of Reconciliation Fading


Paris, Feb. S.-The prospect Of a
reconciliation between Countess Anna
de Castellane and her bus band, Count
Boni, are less bright since yesterday,
owing to developments which have oc-
cured ia that time. Careful investiga-
tons which have been conducted on be-
halt Of the Countess have brought to
light many additional facts in regard to
Count Boni, which had not been sus-
pected. The revelations relate particu-
larly to vast debts which Boni has been
contracting, hoping that he would be
able to make his wife pay them. One
item alone in the shape of jewelry bills
is said to amount to 5000, 600 francs.
Countess Anna now refuses TO pay these
bills. as we'll as others Of like nature.
She says she will pay all legitimate
debts after she has secured separation
from Boni, but that she will pay nothing
before this.
Paris, Feb. SIT has Just become
known that there was q violent scene be-
tween the Countess Anna and BOni,
when they met before Judge Ditto, of
the First Civil Court, on Monday when
the Judge made formal effort to effect
a reconciliation. At that time Countess
Anna offered Boni to insure him an income
of $40, 900 annually, Boni replied with a
sneering laugh, that this sum was not
sufficient to keep him in pin money.
The Countess resented the tone of his
remarks. BOni then burst into rage
and used much insulting language.
Both left the court house in passion.
Although the friends OF both parties
have made an effort to hush up this lit
tie affair, and maintain that the efforts
to bring about reconciliation are pro-
crossing favorably, this information
which Comes from reliable source
seems TO put an end TO all hope Of an
adjustment of differences. Ii is even
stated that Countess Anna has decided
to sue for a divorced instead of for a
legal separation.
Count Boni de Castellane has filed a
cross petition in his wife's suit for d.
yorce, in which he claims heavy dam
ages from her according to a report
which has not been confirmed. One
item of the counts debts is jewelry
bill for 5000, 900 francs.

THURSDAY EVENING. FEB. s, 1906.

A BILL is being prepared for intro
duction in the Maryland Legislature
which is aimed at spiritualistic mediums,
clairyoyants, fortuDe-teilers and the
like. ThoseIwho are urging the bill claim
that there are large number Eof this
class of persons doing business in B"ltl-
more city, and that many of them are
entirely INSCRIPTIONS and make llv-
ing by imposing upon credulous persons.
II is said that they have broken up
number of homes and destroyed the
peace of not a few families by alleged
revelations and false statements. The
bill will compel persons engaged IN
business,of this kind to obtain license
and will put about them restrictions oil
various kinds. In other words, the
Maryland Legislature purposes to do
what has been done in other States-place
people who are engaged in obtaining
money under false pretenses under protec-
ton. Most people have never been able
to understand why so much hue and cry
is raised over some illegimste procedures
while others are licensed and protected.
II is said that when the late George K.
Curtin was missing, fortune-teller in
this city went into trance and saw the
unfortunate man murdered and his body
cut up and packed in barrel. The
facts in the case showed that no such
disposition was made of the body. Yet
this species of imposture is legalized.

Rescued From Burning Building.

New York, Feb 8 "A human bridge,
formed by Roundsmen Delos, Evans aud
Samuel JOHNSON and Policeman John j.
Gallagher, OF the Dekalb avenue sta
ton, saved ten persons from almost GER
tain death in fire which destroyed the
fashionable fve-story apartment house
at No 297 RyersOn street, Brooklyn,
this morning. The house was the home
of eighteen families, comprising about
100 persons. When the alarm was
given nearly all of the occupants fled to
the roof, but ten of the tenants, who in
cluded men, women and children, tried
to make their way to the street. They
were met on the first floor by wall Of
fire and we're forced inside apartments
on the floor above. There the police
came upon them, weak from breathing
smoke, and frightened. The life line
was then formed. The ten persons were
passed out of side window over an air
shaft to a man in the window OF the
house next door, and every one escap ed.
The damage is estimated al $50, 900.

Boor and shoe manufacturers are bt

BooT and shoe manufacturers are be-
ginning to place in effect an advance OF
from 10 to 20 per cent. on all of their
goods, the result, they claim, of the in
creased cost of staples. The manufac-
tuners of New England met recently and
decided that the only thing to save them
was an advance, and it was promptly
ordered. Dispatches from that section
OF the country are to the effect that it is
computed that the price of material has
been increased 50 per cent and this
holds true in all the other sections. The
causes for this advance in the price of
staples. il is claimed, is directly trace
able to the beef trust, which stands in
opposition to the reduction or dropping
of the tariff on hides. The people in
New England say that the country at
large is not consuming as much meat as
heretofore, and that therefore more hides
have to be imported at ruinous tariff
rates. 1t seems strange in time like
this, when trusts are being 30 universally
decried that the beef trust should have
the power in Congress to prevent the
passage of simple resolution removing
the duty on hides, but it has, and no
well-informed man concerning congr's-
sional affairs will deny this assertion.

tionists, but says they are well-armed,
aud that the band is now on its way to
commit other depredalions. The rego-
lutionists are said to be marching to-
ward Changhow, the seaport of Annoy,

In THE Senate yesterday Mr.. Bailey

tation. The debate which eEsued was
full If exciting and dramatic incidents,
but no action was taken. Mr.. Patter-

tude and his many inconsistencies were
cleverly shown. Henceforth Mr.. Pat
terson will in all probability be found
where he beloogs-on the republican

Mr. Patterson from democratic ranks

good, and Mr.. Bailey speech has had a
