A Broken Syndicate.

The report that the American
Countess Castellane is about to
leave or. has left her French
fried potato of count is nei-
Their surprising nor necessarily discon-
certing news. Nobody over here cares
much about the waste Of the Gould mil
lions, for everybody knows that Jay
Gould got them in crooked ways. His
daughter took $17,00O,0O0 abroad and
Count Boni soon ran himself in debt
to the extent of 100000 buying
material for castle on the Bots de
Boulogne. The Gould family on this
side of the water interfered with the
counts activities when they saw that
IT Boni went on in his contraction Of
debts there would be but one way to
liquidate and that would be by throw
ing several millions Of Missouri Pa
cific stock upon the market. This was
not in accord with the plans Of George
Gould, and he forbade it. An arrange
ment was entered into by which the
(! principal was to remain intact and
100000 annually were to be subtract
ed from the Castellane income and ap-
| piled to the payment Of the art dealers
who had worked Boni to a great Amer
lean standstill. This left a paltry 5000
| 600 for the count on which to get
drunk, run for office and make love tc
| several other women. It was not
enough, and troubles arose in the Gould
Castellane syndicate.
There is scarcely a more naked in
stance of the marrying Of money tt
title for the mutual accommodation o1
the titled prig and the untitled money
bag than the Gould Castellane match
Since their marriage neither has. con
tributed anything to the good Of man
kind. The man is a vain, volatile
French harlequin, seeking tho bubbl
reputation anywhere except at the can
non s mouth. The countess appears t
have never had or to have early los
any sentiment of delicac y. Her motiv
has been to be known as a great money

Cleveland and the Doctors.

Grover Cleveland s point with the
doctors seems to be that while medical
science has advanced, the doctors have
made no allowance for the advance of
the patient They still treat him as
a child who is not to be told anything
about his ailment, or if he must be
told something, preferably he should
be treated to a fairy tale. While the
medical fraternity will not deny that
they treat their patients cavalierly,
they will be likely to ask, - What do
patients demand?'' Do they demand
to be informed of all the Doctors sus-
pieions in regard to their cases. In
many cases this would of itself be fatal
to the DOCTORS plans for a recovery.
The relation of the physician and his
patient is one full Of intricacies. It
is not a relation which may be dog
matized upon by either patient or pro-
fessional man. The best intelligence
of both is required to even approach
satisfactory solution and then the
solution is so much a matter Of individ-
ual temperament that congratulations
fall far short Of affording anything
like a safe guide. Mr.. Cleveland's idea
appears to be that the patient furnish
ing the working capital while the doe
| tor supplies the tools and skill, should
be taken into an equal partnership. He
should be shown the books and should
have all the. processes of the business
lexplained to him. But the doctor knows
that capital is timid and that when
you start scare it seeks cover very

BiIou-"A Runaway Bow"

Hal Reid has surpassed all his previous
efforts at play building in the Runaway
Boy which opened at the Bijou last
night. The boy should have been al
lowed to run away quietly and no effort
should be made to find him.
All the heroes of dime novel fiction,
Nick Carter, Diamond Dick, Frank Merri-
well, Fred F'earnot and the Liberty Boys
are wiped off the map by the deeds Of
daredevil, dumfeunding and deliberate
daring performed at the rate Of one
every minute by the runaway boy, Joseph
Santley, the boy actor. At any sort of
a game from clubs to hot air the boy
wonder is a real ""steeple picker" He
bulges with fat phrases and pistols and
talks to old and young like a, father to
a sick child. On top of it all the boy
actor is no longer boy. The terrible
ravages of age have left their mark.
His voice is no longer that Of a child,

"A Little Senate Graft.

An interesting story is told Of how
the senate figured it out to pay Burton
of Kansas his mileage. Burton is con-
structively member Of the senate, but
actually he has been warned not to ap-
pear on the floor. He just hangs about
the cloakrooms and the corridors, prob
ably smoking cigarets and wishing the
United States courts were in Jericho.
Recently the senate mileage account
came up and it became necessary for
some employee of the senate to certify
that he had seen the Kansas senator IN
the chamber. This was rather difficult,
since the senate itself has warned him
to keep out. But Mr.. Burton was in
duced to stand in the doorway and an
employee was stationed so he could see
him from the floor. He thereupon post
ed off in haste and made affidavit that
the senator from Kansas was Gin at.

The Statehood Fight.

The reason for railroading the Arr
zona-New Mexico bill thru is SAID to be
the fear that the democrats will BRING
them in as separate states If the repuo-
lica'ns do not bring them in jointly,
while they have the power. Is this
fear we'll grounded, and if so, is it immi-
nent enough to justify the Arizona-New
Mexico bills
The democrats, in order to accomplish
this coup, would have to capture both
the house and senate. To capture the
house might not be long job. 1t fire.
quently flops- in the middle Of an adj
ministration and sometimes is in oppo-,
sition to the president during his entire
term. To get the house it is only nee
essary to put the governing party in
the hole on some spectacular issue.
This the republican majority in the
house is quite capable Of doing. 1t
did it once when it passed the salary
grab bill. 1t has done it at other
times and suffered the consequences.
Sometimes the republican party has lost
the house thru no fault of the house,
but because the house could make no
Roadway against an unpopular senate.
But capturing the house is not tanta-
mount to putting statehood bill thru.
That requires the cooperation Of the
senate. The senate now stands fifty
six republicans, thirty three democrats
and one vacancy. In 1907 it will
stand a little more strongly republican
since there is no present prospect of
losing a republican state and the repub-
licahs may gain senators in Oregon, Col
orado and Idaho. In 1909 it will still
be republican with the chances fayoring
a slightly decreased republican major
ity, assuming that the democrats follow
up their successes in Ohio and retire the
delectable Foraker to the entire salts
faction Of the country. In 1911 the
democrats would have to carry nearly
all the strong republican, northern
states in order to get majority Of the
senate. The peril Of their doing this
is not imminent. The chances Of the
democrats controlling the senate in the
next ten years are not convincing to
the democrats nor alarming to the re-
publicans.
What then is the hurry about the Ari-
IONA bill? The suspicion abroad seems
to be that the republican majority in
the senate is only nominally republican
on the statehood issue. It is believed
that the senate under the influence OF
certain great interests would consent tc
join with democratic house for separ
ate statehood. This was understood te
be the situation when the late Matt
Quay brought the statehood bill into
the senate. He had it all arranged
