The Partridge Season.

The first Of November ushers in the
open season of cartridges, pheasants and
wild turkeys, and from now until Feb
ruary lst these denizens of the woods
and fields will, as the old saying goes,
olive hard" The season for killing
water fowl has been open for some time
past, but so far few have been killed.
"Old hsre's" and squirrels seem not to
be protected at all by the law, but can
be killed at any time, although their
hest protection lies in the fact that their
flesh is not pslstable until after frost.
Ia this section on account of the wet
summer, the partridses are said to be
scarce.

Castellane win be Made to Fight.

Paris. Nov. THAT Count BOni de
Castellane will soon have an opportunity
to show his manhood ia other ways Ihsn
by beating his wife, formerly Miss Anna
Gould. of New York, is regarded As
certain as a result Of the revelation made
in Yesterdays hearing OF the Countess
suit FOR divorce. The husbands of the
women involved ia B)lPs lisisous
are ready to demand satisfaction f,he
little "noblemsD," and 1t Is freely pre-
dicled that Boni will either have to fight
several duels or sneak out of them as
best he eau.
This ia not the only punishment which
is said TO be preparing for Boni. 1t Ia
intimated that he will b. invited to re
sign from all his clubs. Radical men,
bers Of the House of Deputies, it IS
believed, will also see that things are
made so unpleasant for Boni that he will
be forced t. get out.
Boui's RELOCATION TO the ranks OF wife
besters is a revelation which men aud
women who have hitherto been his
friends will not tolerate.
Little doubt is expressed that Count
ess Anna will be given her divorce on
the showing made Ivy Matte Cruppi in
his address to the court
While the identity of the women in
yolved in the CastellaDe scandal was
concealed under such names as Madame
A. and Madame b, in the court pro-
ceedings, their real names are we'll
known in Paris salons The husbands
of several of these women are noted
swordsmen and that they will challenge
Boui Immediately is regarded as certain.
The little count who has defended his
''honor" before, even while his wife's
body was black and blue from his blows,
is expected to draw his sword again or
be branded "a the coward he is regarded,
since bis wife's story has become known.
The love letters to Boni read in court
left no doubt as TO the character OF his
meetings with other women ranging from
titled married women down to demi-
mondaines of mos questionable standing.
1t is related that the countess was
awakened one night and going into her
husbands room found that he had placed
dummy in the bed She kept watch
and saw her husband leaving the room
of one OF her titled guests.
The list OF inhdelities charged against
Boni is so long and so many married
women are said to be involved that IL
is anticipated BOni vii have lively
time in the future keeping all engage
nlents offered him to meet the husbands

Joachim Of Prussis, secUnd son of the
late Prince Albrecht and cousin Of
Emperor William Of Germany, and
Marie Sulzer, the concert hall actress, to
whom he is engaged, have interested
citizens here immensely. Incidentally
all Vienna is having good laugh at the
expense of Kaiser William because Of
the side light thrown On the character OF
bis cousin-to-be as demonstrated by her
latest escspade It is freely predicted
that if the emperor ever meets his future
cousin she viii be able 70 protect herself
even against his royal scorn.
Ii nov develops that the concert hall
queen, DESTROYS Of having title OF her
own to match against that OF Prince
Joachim when they are married, plan
ned to secure one in her own iuimitable
way. Accordingly she arranged with
Baron Won Liebenberg, an impecunious
Austrian noble, for marriage OF con-
venience which would give the actress
her title aud yet relieve her of her un
necessary husband in time to csrry out
her marriage agreement With Pnnee
Joachim.
Marie offered YOU Liebenberg 81, 900
to marry her with the agreement that be
was then to commit an act Of inddelity
which would allow her TO get divorce.
The wedding accordingly TOOK place IN
London on September B. The parties
separated Immediately atlers I'd.
When it came to settling with the
Baron Marie showed herself sbrewd
fnancier, aud instead Of paying him the
81, 900 agreed upon, through her agents
offered $500 aud the Baron accepted

her title at quarter price.
But Baron Won Liebenbefg did not
fare so we'll. When be returned 20

an income of $3.50 a fortnight, eusb.
ling he Baron TO live 10 his accustomed

Hearing that the concert hall actress
wac about to marry Prince Joa him, OF
Prussia, Baron Won Liebeuberg went to

Through this affidavit the sd ir came to
