United States.
DUELS AND DISGRACE

PARIS. Nov. 2.-1aklng II for grant
ed that the Countess de CastelIane. for
merry Miss Anna Gould Of New YorIE.
VIII obtain from her titled wife beating
husband the divorce which she now
seeks and along With that divorce the
custody OF her children. the American
colony here expects 10 see her depar-
tupe for America rs soon as the decree
has been granted.
Count BOnl de Castellane Will per-
force remain behind. for there Is every
reason 10 believe that he would be
soundly caned by some lusty male rela-
live Of the countess should he dare 10
follow her across the sea TO the United
States.
Indeed. the word Is now passed
around here that the titled wife beaten
who used his rich wlfe's millions TO
pamper the various herolnes OF his
amours may have difficulty In remaln-
Ing on the earth ut all.
He Is certain TO be challenged by the
Indignant husbands OF some OF the la
hltH NhVNf hhhitn haNt bteh o'htt
through his indIscretlons. At least two
OF these husbands are men who would
not he content with the serlo comic
sham OF a typical bloodless French
duel.
Moreover, the little count faces the
disgrace OF expulsion from his clubs
and from the chamber OF deputies, TO
which the money OF the woman he
abused has elected him.
Duels, In which the count will either
have to figure or inglorlously sneak out
OF, are common talk. Society women
whose husbands are swordsmen OF
note have been brought into the unsa-
worry divorce case, some coming as
surprise TO the injured husbands.
In spite OF the reiterated statements
made by Maltre Cruppl in the opening
address OF the trial that there was not
the faintest possibility OF a reconcilia-
ton II Is by no means certain that the
count has completely abandoned hope
Of such an outcome. His entire con-
duct since the suit for divorce began
would appear TO be based upon the be-
lief that his wife, who for ten years
submitted to so many lndlgnities, must
yield in the end. This theory will ex-
plain the counts refusal Of liberal Of
fers OF life income, and 1t is now dis
closed that the count never ceased
writing love letters to his wife in
which he begged for reconciliation
and in which he mathematical the
American lawyers under whose infiu-
ence, he charges, she Is acting.

HALLOWE' PARTY.
M, lockwood and Miss WtstialI Entertained
Dickens Club.

Mrs s. II. lockwood and Miss West
fall entertained the Dickens club at
the home OF the former Halloween.
One OF the features OF the evening was
the telling OF fortunes. In kettle
suspended over an imitation wood fire
we're the fortunes written on cards to
which we're attached short ribbons.
Staining beside the kettle was skele-
ton with long spoon in its hand.
Around the kettle was coiled a large
snake. BY means of an invisible
black thread the skeleton was made to
culver and the snake to wiggle when
ever any OF the guests attempted to
take fortune out OF the keith. 1t was
a nervous venture and some OF the
ladies had to make several attempts
before they were able to secure a card.

A warming to American Girls.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-"At the time
of the Could astellane marriage in
March, 1895, predicted just what has
come to pass" said the Rev. DIR. Pc
tiers, pastor of the Church of the Epiph-
any. Il very much regret that my
sermon was that of true prophet,
but my words were meant as warn
ing to American women. This occa-
sion emphasizes an important lesson
to American girls. Almost without ex-
ception marriages of American heiress-
es with the titled nobility of Europe
have turned out disastrously. The few
notable instances of happy unions only
prove the rule that our American wo-
men have made terrible bargains. They
lead lives of gilded misery, where cold
moonbeams sometimes glitter, but lit
tie sunshine ever falls, nor flowers
bloom nor birds sing"

Pleasant Memories Recalled BY Call on the
Venerable David Redwood.


Twas autumn aud the leaves were dry aud

II was the last day OF October In the
afternoon that | wendell my way TO
meet one who had passed four score
years aud ton aud 10 talk with him
about matters which reached far back
In the early part OF the last century.
The falling leaves, the leAdened sky
Indicated plainly that We we're on the
threshold OF winter, yet when | reach.
ed the comfortable home of David
lockwood found that there was
cheer inside OF that pleasant home
and as looked upon him, ninety
years OF age, blind, and at his com.
panion who had journeyed with him
through life, she also slghtless, there
came 10 me the thought how beautiful
is conten'ment. Tenderly watched oy.
err by devoted daughter who anticI.
paies every wish, the venerable couple
far down the hill OF life sit waiting for
the tnal summons which shall call
them ~ their eternal home.
Most OF their associates have passed
beyond thed owing tide and yet as /
talked with Mr. lockwood ! was sur.
prlsed TO hnd his mind so alert and
active and his memory so good. We

ed 10 the subject OF william Lloyd
Garrison, the famous Abolitlonist.
Mr. lockwood recalled plainly the
time when Mr. Garrison had his priLt
ing office little to the south OF the
residence Of DR. Heman Swift whose
memory Is reyered by so many OF q
younger generation. Mr. lockwood
talked In an interesting manner OF the
famous anti-slavery agitator, remem.
bered well the date when his paper
came from the press and WAS delivered
10 basket TO the different subscrlb.
ers.
Mr. lockwood also suggested In a
modest way that the Garrison Marker
committee might well consider the
propriety OF having basket 10 bronze
filed with papers recalling the time
when the editor went about the streets
with his own papers. An hour and
over passed quickly in this pleasant
household and as the writer looked
upon the faces Of the venerable couple
whose life's journey must soon end,
he carried away with him not only
valuable information but 1t had
brought to his mind pleasant recol.
lections OF many whom he family re.
called and OF others OF whom he had
heard so much about from the lips of
those long since closed in death.

Madame Calve gives as the reason
she is in concert this year, that there
is a dearth of new good operas, and
pirate vocal and orchestral music the
highest form of stage art. Madame
Calve will appear in one concert only
in this city, on next Monday evening,
and great interest is being taken in
that appearance by vocal music lovers.
No other opportunity will be afforded

but once in this city. Madame Calves
program including selections from Car
men, the Flora Bird song from La
Perle de Brazil, excerpts from Gou-
mods "Sapho" and French and Scotch
folk songs, is unusually attractive. The

"WAY DOWN EAST"
RETURNS HERE WITH
ITS RURAL CHARMS

way Down East" the oft repeated
rural drama, has not yet lost all it's
charms for Angelenos. and the follow
ing who witnessed the performance at
the Mason last evening enjoyed it fully
as much as II they had not heard a
dozen friends say THAT old chestnut
again"
True, there were the same familiar
down east folk" whose hearts are all
in the right places, the same village
choir which has never failed to make
hit, the same melodramtic scenes, the
JOY of the gallery, but they were none
the less appreciated because of age. The
company is good and the scenic effects
tolerable. The play will run five nights.

Entire $I2.275 Shoe Stock
Sold to the Mammoth
Shoe House
On Sale Today at SIG South
Broadway

In the retirement of H. Cohn & Co.,
Los Angeles business circles lose an
old time shoe concern, having been in
the business for twenty years, but in
the sale of their stock to the Mann
moth Shoe House, $40 South Broad
way. the public will get the benefit.
When Cohn e. Co. sold their lease to
their store room at a good round
price they were forced to sacrifice on
their stock, which they certainly did
when they sold to the hustling Mann
moth fellows, who paid them spot
cash for the $12,275 stock at the rate
of 60 cents on the dollar of factory cost.
The tremendous crowds at this busy
store Saturday was evidence of the
legitimate bargains being offered to
effect a quick sale of these splendid
shoes. Just as an illustration of how
Olcovich G. Streicher will make prices,
they have taken every pair of Cohn &
Co.'s 80 shoes and put $1.23 price on
them. $3.50 mems fine shoes are selling
for $1.45. Mems celebrated Regent"
$3.50 shoe-stamped on the sole at three
fifty, cut to $1.95. Women's shoes are
marked at the same low range of price.
Several hundred pair of shoes and OK
fcrds and misses and chidren's at soc
a pair that are worth So and So of any
body's money. Boys shoes at CSC,
worth 50; and so on the whole way
through the whole list of styles and
sizes. Today will be big day, so you
better be there If you want to save
money on shoes.
