BONT'S MANEUVERS.
Castellane Implores Countess
 to Take Him Back Again.
WIFE FOUND HIN DISGUSTING. !"
Maitre Bonnet Defends the Titled FrenchMnn, Charging Outside IA- fuencc and Bribery of Witt
 neases In Famous Suit.


 nesses In Famous Suit.
 PARIS, Nov. S--The courtroom in the palace of justice occupied by the tri' bunal of first instance of the Seine was again crowded to the doors when the hearing of the divorce suit brought by the Countess de Casteliane against her husband, Count Boni, was resumed Maitre Cruppi of counsel for the count ess, in resuIning the presentation ot the case which he had covered last week, referring to the reckless fashion in which the count had spent millions of the countess money
 Maitre Cruppi then plunged directly into the counts manenvers since the divorce proceedings were instituted to reconquer his wife's affections. writing to the countess letters filled with avow als of sincere repentance. supplications for pardon. passionate words and pro- fessions of undying love.
 You have been my life" he declared in one of his letters. Your absence will be my death. Take me back once more. I will live only for you. Let me embrace you and once more feel you in my arms.' anu so on.
 The countess sent cold rejoinder, concluding with the statement that she found him disgusting"
 The counts tone changed. The next day he sent the countess aNletter in which he upbraided her for being "a mad woman actuated by hate and vengeance and saying that their chil- dren would some day reproach her for her "sp.tefulness.
 But the count soon resumed writing love letters to the countess. begging to be allowed to see her and predicting that he would soon die. The letters continued until the middle of Septem- Der. when the count wrote that he would not long survive. pleading to see the countess and saying:
 If am in danger, come. Do not let me die alone, like an abandoned dog" The feature of Maitre Bonnet's pres entation of the counts side of the case was the charge that the countess law yers had poisoned her mind. Freed from outside influence he insisted she would have returned to her husband. He argued that an inquiry was now imperative to give the count an oppor- tunity to explode the f,imsy evidence according to which he had been pic tured as a cruel brute
 Count Bonfs only fault, according to counsel, was his desire to have his wife realize her dream of becoming the queen of the French arlstocracy. and in his efforts to this end he had compromised his own as we'll as her fortune. Maitre Bonnet savagely at tackled the countess attorneys. but did not utter one word of criticism of the countess
 In the course of the proceedings it developed that the count had asked the court to grant him S30,000 year after having rejected his wife's offer of the same sum annually and $2O0,- OG0 down.

have issued an order that Assistant Engi-
neer Commissioner Harding. Building In
spec'or Ashford and Health Officer Wood
ward be notified of their appointment by
the act to be a board for the condemnation
OF insanitary buildings In the District OF
Columbia. They are requested to begin
their proceedings at once by furnishing the
Commissioners with an estimate of the
amount OF money which will probably be
required under the act for the next fiscal
year, taking account of the removal of in
sanitary conditions rapidly as possible 1t
is Intended to submit these estimates to the
senate committee ON appropriations when
the Commissioners begin their conference
with that committee on the District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill.
In commenting on the proposed campaign
for more healthful conditions in the city
Commissioner mcfarland said:
Now that the Commissioners bill to en-
able us to deal with insanitary buildings as
we can deal with dilapidated buildings has
become a law we shall lose no time I'm carry
Ing 1t out. 1t is the result of long effort
on the part of the Commissioners and the
citizens in the interest of the health of the
community and the improvement Of social
conditions. As all the constitutional rights
OF the property owners have been safe
provided for. there may be, In some cases.

domination proceedings. but If the appro-
priation necessary for expenditures is made

1.-THE board provided for by the bill to see
that insanitary buildings are either made
sanitary or vacated or destroyed, consisting
of the assistant to the Engineer Commits
sioner in charge of buildings the health Of
ffcer and the inspector of buildings will
meet at once and prepare an estimate of
the amount of money required, so that the
commissioners may present it to the Senate
committee on appropriations. No one can
tell how many insanitary buildings there
are in~the District of Columbia. We know
that there are probably several hundred
practicable to pass upon them all in one
year. 1t Is great step forward in the i'm
provement of social conditions here.
Another very important Commissioners
Dill which has just become a law gives US
the powers we have long desired to deal

such cases, but this act which has just been
approved will enable US to meet these cases
efficiently.
