property was far bel1H its actual value.

her protest before the proper commit

COUNT BONI HAS SCANT
SYMPATHY IN GAY PARIS

1t would be a great mistake to
imagine that the French great world
sympathizes in any way with Count
Boni de CasteIIane in his matrimonial
troubles The letters and dispatches
from Paris that have been printed here,
intimating that the members of the old
aristocracy are siding with him. are
altogether misleading. They strongly
disapproved Of his marriage from the
outset, not from any objections to Miss
on account of the endeavors made by
young De Castellane himself to convey
the impression at Paris that it was
business transaction rather than a love
match. Even after his wife had pre-
scented him with a couple Of charming
little boys. he never neglected any op-
portunity to insinuate that he had
sacrificed himself and ali his feelings
to the necessity of regilding the family
escutcheon-that is to say, of bringing
money into the impoverished house of
Castellane by means of marriage
Indeed, to such point did he carry
this that whenever he showed friends
ana acquaintance arounu the gorgeous
mansion upon which he had squandered
such vast sums of his wife's money and
reached her private apartments mar
vel of Louis QuinZe furniture and dec
orations-the exquisite Vernis Martin
bed adorned with paintings and carv-
ings that cost fortune-he would ex-
claim with that kind of impertinent air,
aped from the roues of the Regence,
as he threw open the door: La chapelle
expiatoir."

How the old French aristocracy re-
garded his attitude in the whole mat
ter is best illustrated by the fact that
when he offered himself for election at
the Jockey club he was ANONYMOUSLY
piled by the largest number of black
balls ever accorded to any one candi-
date, and now that great world in
which his mother and brothers-but not
his father-move is unanimous in re-
senting and condemning the scandal to
which his conduct towards his wife has
given rise. 1t takes the ground that
when an heiress brings such a colossal
fortune to a completely ruined man as
did Miss Gould on the occasion of her
marriage to Boni de Castellane, the
least that he can do is to fulfill his
share of the contract by the correct
ness of his private life. Assuming that
the union in question was, as Boni in
sisted, a business agreement rather
than love match, it was his bounden
duty as a gentilhomn1e loyalty to per-
form his share by according to his wife
fidelity for which she had paid mil
lions of dollars.
1t cannot be said that Countess Boni
de Castellane is popular in Paris. But
she is immeasurab bly, more respected to-
udN ny the people VI llIdl WI IiitC
which she has married than she was
when she tamely submitted to the in
fidelities to the monetary extortiOns-
and to the sneers of her ungrateful and
now thoroughly declasse husband who
will be regarded at Paris with more
contempt than ever if he consents to
accept the SIS, 900 a year which his wife
is to allow him in order to keep him ,
from starving. This amount will not |
go far, however. For he owes one hat
ter alone in Paris a bill Of $4,000, while, |
when on the last occasion. the sheriff
made an inventory of his belongings at
the instance of his numerous creditors, |
he found no less than SIG white waist |
coats belonging to Boni. From his I,
family Boni will receive little or no |
assistance For his father is an invet- |
crate gambler, always hard up, and has
every penny of the Gould |
allowed him by his worthless |
son at the card tables of the Club des
Capucines, a fifth rate institution. For
the old gentleman belongs to none OF |
the first class clubs of Paris, although |
his other sons, Jean and Stanislas, both |
of them popular, form part of the
Jockey Club.
