AS announced exclusively in
THE HUSTLER some time ago, the
Board of Trade has been working
on the project of bringing great
Chautauqua and Bible Conference
to this city. The untiring ef-
forts of the Board, and of its
special committee, Of which DR..
Grinnan ia chairman, has, it is
believed, resulted successfully,
and this annual gathering is now
practically assured.
In fact, it ia now "up to" the
citizens and business men of this
city to say whether they want it
or not.
In GAINESVILLE, Fla, the Chau-
tauqua established there has re-
suited in an increase in real estate
values conservatiYely estimated
at from 80 to 100 per cent.
The advertising the city will
get trough the reports published
in the secular and religious press,
is, according to c:mpetent au-
thorities, of the highest value, and
must inevitably make this beauti-
full city and it's manifold advan-
tages as a resort, known all over
the United States.
1t is the kind of advertising
which money cannot buy.
It brings right to our doors,

EHendersonviIle fully realize the
advantages to be derived, morally,
financially and and socially, it is
not to be expected that they will
be backward in each doing his
full share. 1t is worthy of en-
thusiastic support from all, and is
the first great step towards MAX
ling beautiful Henders onville the
best known and most widely ad-
yertised town In the South.
Each year the sessions of the
Chautauqua will be longer. This
first one, which will be in late
August and early, September. will
probably last two weeks. They
will gradually lengthen out until
1t is confidently expected that
before long they will occupy a
full month.
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed upon the educational ad-
vantages herein offered, and at a
price which is merely nominal.
1t attracts and holds the best
class of people, and large num-
Der of them will naturally become
permanent residents.
Wherever the auditorium is
built there will Immediately
spring up a settlement of pretty
little cottages, to be rented or
owned by people who will come
and stay during the entire sessions
of the Chautauquaa and Bible Con-
ference.
At an enthusiastic meeting of
business men held at the Opera
House, Tuesday noon, and at
which DR.. Strouse spoke, there was
an enthusiasm shown and readi-
ness to take hold, which spoke
we'll for the success of the project
and we are reliably informed that
if the people of this progressive
city do their individual share,
tnere Will be no hitch in the pro-
ceedings, and that the first great
Chautauqua ever held in Notrh
Carolina will be an actual fact in
Hendersonville this summer,
which means an added impetus
to the prosperity of what IS
already the finest and most pro-
gressive city in the State.
The mayor of the city of
Gainesville, Fla, is ready to GER
tify that the institution of the
Chautauqua in that city has re-
suited in increasing the real
estate values of the city 100 per
cent.

Met By a Delegation.

Hon. A. F.P. King, mayor of Hender-
sonville; Mr.. o. E. Blyth, clerk of the
Board of Aldermen; Mr.. J. NJ. Waldrop,
secretary, of the Board of Trade, w. A..
Smith, Tax Collector Brooks, Sheriff
Rhodes, and other officials, were among
those present to welcome the party. Mu-
tual regrets were expressed by the
members of both parJies at the inability
of the Florida editors to stop over in
Hendersonville at that time. They
agreed, however, to consider stopping
for several hours IN Hen1ersonville on
their return from Lake Toxaway.
At Hendersonville the Florida party
changed cars and boarded special cars
on the Lake Toxaway branch of the
Southern Railway. Before getting on
the train each member of the party was
presented with a handsome souvenir
booklet, issued by the Hendersonville
Board of Traed.
AnAppreciated Compliment.
The book is neatly printed and bound
and on the cover, printed in golden let
tering, is the following: Compliments
of the Hendersonville Board of Trade
to the Outing Florida Press Associa-
tion." This was compliment most
highly appreciated by every member of
the Florida party, and the thanks of all
were extended to the enterprising
Board of Trade of Hendersonville.

sRairs In Russia

St. Petersburg, Feb. 7.-Government
officials are considering plans for max
ing Peterhof fortress of the first class
with harbor accommodations for gunboats
and torpedo boats. The idea is to afford
better protection for the Gar in case OF
need. The announcement was made
to-day that the government censorship
on kilograms from abroad has been re-
sumed. The censorship was abolished
some time ago. Adyices received from
HOmel state that when General Orloif,
who has been commissioned by the Gar
to suppress revolutionary disturbances
in the Baltic provinces, arrived there he
received at his headquarters Jewish
deputation. General 0rlof told the
members of the deputstion that if arms
are found anywhere on premises occu-
pied by Jews the Jews will be shot on
the spot without trial. These and other
repressive measures adopted show that
the reactionaries are again in absolute
control in that portion of the country.

The CastelIane Divorce Case.

Paris, Feb. An intimate friend of
the Castellanes today informed the cor
respondent Of the Publishers Press that
The question of Countess Anna de Cas-
tellane attempting to secure a divorce
from Count Boni is no longer being DIS
cussed, at least for the present The
expected solution of the difficulty between
the little Count ard his American wife
is that the Countess Anna will seek n
temporary separation. If this is granted
il vill give time for both parties t. soothe
their spirits and attempts at bringing
about q reconciliation can then be re.
newed with good prospects of success.
1t is considered certain that there will
be no more developments for the present.
The French newspapers are still keeping
quiet about the troubles OF the Castel-
lanes. They have not printed line
about the affair, having even allowed
the decree OF the court in regard to The
children to 30 unnOticed. The Paris
editors still remember how Count Boni,
in March, 1902, slapped the face Of NJ.
De X, days, editor OF The Figaro, and
later fought a duel with the editor in
which the latter was wounded, because
NJ. De Rodays' paper printed a personal
article rejecting upon the Count, al
though BOni's name was suppressed
Confirmation was secured today of the
report that Countess Anna and Boni
met Monday evening in the private office
Of Judge Ditto, of the First Civil Court,
who issued the decree giving the count
ess temporary custody of the children.
Judge Ditto attempted to bring abont a
formal reconciliation, but as no one was
present at the meeting, details of what
took place are unknown. Ii is certain,
however, that reconciliation was not
effected, and the judge then advised
members of the family to intervene since
the court could take no further proceed
ing except to hear the suit for separation.
The Marquis and Marchiouess de Cas-
tellane, parents of Count Boni, then
cablel TO members of the Gould family
urging them to persuade Countess Anna
to agree to a settlement Of the couple 5
differences. Legal proceedings have
been suspended during the pendency Of
these negotiations, in the outcome OF
which friends of both parties still ex-
press confidence of a reconciliation. Talk
of probable due. between Count Boni
and the baron whose wife is said to have
been responsible for the break between
the Castelanes still is heard, but friends
are a ain intervening to prevent such an
occurrence, as frightiul scandal would
be inevitable, if there should be such
meeting.
1t is impossible to secure statements
from either the Countess Anra or Boni
at present. Count BOni is hiding some
where.

years old. The gown she wore is tailor
made. of the latest cut, and her under
clothing is of most expensive silk. The
woman's recovery is doubtful She re-
fused to tell anything other than her
name. When told that she might die,
she gave the address of relatives at l76
Oxford street, Brooklyn, but refused to
give the name of the party, simply say
ing that they might help her, although
she doubted it. Other than this the
woman declined to talk. She wore five
suits of costly underwear which accounts
for the fact that she was not frUzen TO
death. On her neck was found mark
such as might be the result OF an attempt
at hanging. The wound, however, was
not inflicted very recently.

DECLARING that the report OF the In

road in other coal-carrying railways was
so insufficient as to be an insult to the
House, and following this with broad
side in the way Of detailed charges OF CON-

Gaines, of West Virginia, who denounced

commission has ignored or suppressed.
He declared that no room was lett for

Commission knows or can ascertain that
