to honorary membership because of
his fondness for Joe Wheeler. The
resolution provoked warm words.

deep resentment was shown on ac-
count Of Mr.. Roosevelts references
in his book to Jefferson Davis.
When the resolution came to a vote

Kansas City dispatch of February
2, to the Charlotte Observer: Miss
Pauline Webster today announced
that she would return to Gaffney, S.
c., as soon as she RECEIVERS from her
illness caused by her recent exciting
experiences. She is now under ply
sician's care. She caused to be pub
lished today in the Kansas City news
papers a statement in part as follows:
'I have employed no lawyer in Kan
sas City to look after my interests and
l have not authorized any one to en-
ploy an attorney for me. Any person
or persons who may be claiming to
act as attorneys for me are doing so
unsolicited and gratuitiously and need
not expect remuneration. Mr.. ]. {.
Otis, prosecuting attorney at Carney,
s. c., where my property is located,
has volunteered to see that l get In
full possession Of my rights without
1t costing me a cent. Other lawyers
there have voluntarily made the same
offer, consequently I need no legal
counsel here"
Countess Anna Gould de Castel-
lane, the American wife of Count
Boni de Castellane, according to
Paris dispatch, has instituted legal
proceedings for a separation from
the count. The countess remains at
her residence in Avenue Bois Bou-
logne in charge Of the children. I'm
der the permission of the court the
count has returned to his home in
the country. The trouble between
the count and the countess, which
has been brewing several years, came
to a head this week and as a result
there has been an irremediable
breach, which is now about to be
followed by a separation. The coun-
tess learned that the count was pay
ing attention to a noted society wo-
man who is married and accused
Boni of paying such attention and
created a violent scene. She declares
she had often forgiven the count his
misdeeds, but this time she would de-
mand legal separation unless he
broke with the woman. The count
at first tried to persuade his wife
that she was absurdly jealous, but
failed in this. Then, seeing that
Countess Anna was in deadly earnest,
rather than imperil, his claim to the
Gould millions he consented to re-
nounce his acquaintance with the
whose smiles Boni had basked, was
furious at the slight played upon her
and laid a trap for Boni. She re-
duested him to call, which he did.
The countess learned of the visit and
at once put into effect her threat to
get q separation.
