The Bubble Bursts.

Soon his expenditures became so lavish that Miss Goulds income of $G00000 year was not enough. It took just five years for the bubble to burst, and then George Gould became his sisters trustee Cred itors were making life miserable for the count and, when 1t came to figuring up, it was found that he had spent nearly $S, S,O00,000 The matter was settled by cut ting down the countness income to $00,- GOO 0 year and devoting half of it to the payment of the debts. In 1902 all the law suits had been settled and the De Castel- lanes started with clean slate. But econ omy seemed to have irlked Boni and he resumed his career of extravaganza with more energy than ever. He has spent al most $2,000OOO on the red marble palace in which most of the famous social af- fairs of the De Castellanes have been given. A fete called the Louis XVI. ball given there cost them more than $20O,000. Five hundred servants and seven hundred performers were employed and there were three thousand guests. They have given other affairs almost as expensive, and it costs them quite a bit to entertain the King of Portugal as they always do when he comes to Paris. Then the count has taken his dip into politics, and that cost him a pretty penny.
 Boni has always had his foibles, and long before he married Miss Gould he was a famous dandy. Once he took q notion to reform mems dress and restore the picturesque costumes of sixty years ago. Accordingly he and the countess

Name Coupled With an Actors

The countess has never been credited with having any very serious fondness TOT her husband. As a girl she was rather romantic and at one time every ooas thought she would marry Henry Nooa- ruff, an actor. This affair was broken OH
 and then 1t was announced that she was engaged to one of the Harrimans ihls engagement was broken off, MT, Harrl-
 son said at the time. by common agree
 ment. Friends who are close to the count ess say she has never quite forgotten the actor.
 Count Boni's life has been full of little romanees. Friends in his own country describe him as being brave gallant ana courteous, a man that women admhe. One story has 1t that the present trouble
 between him and his wife is oyer Wo-
 man, one who possesses a title and grea prominence in Paris. Another report Is
 that they have disagreed over money
 matters and that the countess is merely
 seeking a judicial separation and not a
 divorce.
 If she persists in her determination to
 be rid of him the counts creditors will
 be hard hit, for when the courts give the
 countess a decree of separation De Gas tellanes grip on the Gould millions will end According to the will of Jay Gould,
 Miss Anna Gould receives only the in- come which is paid to her or her legal representative in America, and no French
 law can divert any of this to her French husband The cable dispatches bring the informa-
 ton that the count is so hard up at pres
 ent that he has sold his watch to get spending money. No wonder he is so en- ergetically seeking a reconciliation.

WAS A MONEY MARRIAGE
BY sEWELL HAeeARD.

New York, February 10-(Special)-An- other of those international marriages gone to smash has given New York and society in particular something to talk about for the last ten days. No one is surprised at the break between Count Boni de Castellare and his wife, who was Miss Anna Gould. It is more than an even bet that when an American girl glves her millions for title there will be a crash sooner or later. With the De Castellanes 1t is surprising that 1t did not come long ago, for the marriage was simply a case of barter and sale.
 A little more than eleven years ago Count Bon came to America on his for tune hunting expedition. He was gun ming for big game. He was the son of an ancient but pitifully reduced and profli- gate line. and no ordinary fortune would serve his purpose. All he had to offer in exchange was his title, for the best that can be said of him is that he "possesses the virtues and the failings of his race. ' De Castellane took the social plunge at Newport, all the time disavowing his in- tention to wed an heiress. He paid de- voted court to Miss Virginia Fair, now Mrs William K. Vanderbilt Jr, and to Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, now the Duch- ess of Marlborough. Both these heiresses discouraged his attentions. The count was about to give up in despair when Mrs. Paran Stevens became his friend and arranged dinner to which Miss An na Gould came, story was told at that time that the count had staked his last dollar on d dinner party for the Goulds ill the hope of finally winning Miss Anna. If this story is true, that dollar brought the count great returns for in a very short time his engagement to Miss Gould was announced, and in four weeks more the marriage took place.
 The De Castellanes went to Paris to live and all these years they have kept themselves before the public through trou- bles of one kind or another. At first the aristocracy of France refused to receive Count Boni's $1S0O0,OOO bride, but after their first son was born the De Castel- lanes began to cut an astonishing figure. The first thing the count did was to spend nearly a million dollars for a bit of prop erty on a fashionable street on which to erect a town mansion.

Fastest Vessel in the World.

From Harper's Weekly.
 During the past year the British navy has been augmented by eight remarkable vessels known as Fleet Scouts, which have practically the speed of torpedo destroyers. but have sufficient length and coal capacity to go considerable distances. and not only gain information, but prey upon an enemy's merchant shipping. The Attentive, the latest of these scouts, when recently tested, made a record of 25.SS knots on a sustained run of six and a half hours, during which a maximum speed of 261s knots was reached, this being reached on the last hour of the trial trip. If destroyers and high-speed launches are excepted, this probably makes the Attentive the fastest ves- sel in the world, and the representative of type which soon may spread be- yond the British navy.

WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body In Health and
 Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grand-mothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall
 It was the universal spring and fall blood purifier" tonic and cure-al, and mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was not without merit.
 The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable. and a large quan tity had to be taken to get any effect.
 Nowadays we get all the beneficial eff offect of sulphur in a palatable concen- trated form. so that single grain Is far more effective than a tablespoonful of the crude sulphur
 In recent years. research and experi- ment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold In drug stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium Waters. They are small choco- late coated pellets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur fin highly concentrated effective form.
 Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sul- phur acts directly on the liver and ex- cretory organs and purifies and enriches tine blood by the prompt elimina ton Of waste material
 Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every spring and fall. but the crudty and inn purity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur. of which Stuarts Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the best and most widely used
 They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipa- tion and purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and physician alike.
 Dr. R. NJ. Wilkins while experimenting with sulphur remedies soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He says: For liver. kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from constipation or malaria. l have been surprised at the re- suits obtained from Stuarts Calcium Waters. Iii patients suffering from bols buncles I have repeatedly seen them dry leaving the skin clear and smooth. AL though Stuart's Calcium Waters is pre- prietary article, and sold by druggists and for that reason tabooed by many physicians, vet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation, liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forms of skin disease as this remedy"
 At any rate people who are tired Of pills, cathartics and so-called blood purifiers" will find in Stuarts Calcium Waters far safer. more nalatable and effective preparation. ttl

The Shoe Pinches.

l The rejuvenated republican organiza- tion of New York state, under the leader ship of Governor Higgins. who receives his orders from Washington, realizes that it is about to go too far for the good of the party. in the reform line The
 new element hinted so strongly that there
 was to be a house cleaning in every state department that needed 1t that some of the members of the legislature have been | cruel enough to call the bluff and demand an investigation of the state banking de- pertinent, an investigation undesirable to Governor Higgins and his advisers Fred erick B. Kilburn, a protegee of the Gov ernor, has been at the head of this de- partment for years and it Is pretty well known that if his conduct Is probed there will be a repetition of the insurance scan dals. Another state election Is coming soon and the insurance sins are about all the party will be able to carry. To uncover the rottenness of Kilburn's de- partment at this time would make the
 election of @ democratic successor to Hig-
 gins almost certain. That is why the Governor rebelled when the inquiry was first suggested. However, when the pres
 sure of public sentiment was brought to
 bear on him he announced that he was in favor of it. Now the matter is before
 the senate, the assembly having approved
 the investigation.
 The senate is delaying the matter to give certain banking interests time to protest against the investigation on the ground that it would cause a financial
 panic. If the protest is loud enough it may strengthen the hands of the opposi-
 tion so that they will dare suppress it.
 The case of the Anglo-American Saw ings and Loan association proves the need of house cleaning in the banking department. This institution collapsed of it's own rottenness. with liabilities in ex- cess of $300o,000 and assets insufficient to pay the cost of the receivership. From the time Mir Kilburn assumed office in 1896 until the bank failed in 1900 he had been informed officially of the exact con dition of this institution. Not only once. but every year. the examiners assigned to this task warned the banking department. yet nothing was done to prevent the dupes of this concern from investing more and more of their savings in the care of sharks, not one of whom as yet is in prison.

Back From Death.

How it feels to come back to life after ones spirit has passed to the judgment seat was told the other day by young woman whom Dr. John D. Quackenbos a professor at Columbia university and an expert in therapeutic suggestion, says he resuscitated. The young woman in telling her storys says that she was des- perately i'll and dimly realized that her relatives had given up hope and were weeping around the bed
 "Then 1 lost consciousness, I suppose" she continued. "G seemed to be a great distance from the earth. suspende, as it were, 'twixt heaven and earth The earth was far below, as l could see quite plain ly. and there was that tremendous feel ering in it's effect.
 AS 1 looked into the heavens I seemed to be among the stars. Each one looked like huge ball of fire, but there was one directly overhead that seemed bigger and brighter than all the rest. As I looked it came to me that that particular star in some way governed my destiny. And as I watched it shot from the heavens as a falling star and struck me directly here on the forehead.
 q can feel now the shock l had when the contact came I heard a voice saying Adele, where are you going? Come back; you cannot die. You have work to do on earth It is not finished yet. Come back a. once

S8. .843. .e85 a Mile.

An extraordinary phase of the merger of the subway, elevated and surface rail- ways of New York is the fact that the combination will actually own only N.4S miles of road This would make the capi- talization SS ,S43,SS5 mile. The secret of this is that all the lines ar leased. Au- gust Belmont's Interborough company did not own a mile of track and Ryan's New York City Railway company only the twenty-five miles referred to. There is no other railroad in the country that has a capitalization anywhere near so eX- cessive as that of the new combination. In steam railroads the Erie generally is looked upon as one of the heaviest capi- talized per mile, yet its total is only S228.61S In connection with this 1t would be interesting to know what becomes of the money the traction companies collect every year in 5-cent fares. Certainly the operating expenses do not eat it up. It costs less than 2I2 cents a passenger for ali wages, salaries, power, maintenance and legal expenses. The companies are never liberal in paying their conductors and motormen, and they do not pay ex-

Automobile Statistics.

An estimate furnished by the manufac- turers shows that there are 100000 auto- mobiles in use in this country. This means that one person out of eight hundred and one family in less than two hundred op- crates one of these machines There are four-fifths as many automobile owners as there are lawyers or clergymen, engi- neers and firemen, plumbers or butchers. Last year there were seven times as many automobiles manufactured as there were Grand pianos. The conservative and dig nified Evening Post declares that there are more automobilists than barkeepers In this country.

Yerkes, Remarkable History.

The marriage of the widow of Charles T. Yerkes to Wilson Mizner, a young ad- yenturer from the west, recalls the in teresting story of the life of Yerkes. It reads more like q chapter from a novel than chapter from real life.
 Yerxes was a Quaker. Years ago he built up q banking and brokerage bus- ness in Philadelphia and then failed. When the smash came he was in debt to the city of Philadelphia for bonds sold on it's account. On his refusal to make the city a preferred creditor he was sent to the penltentiary but afterward the sentence was declared to be illegal. He had trouble with his wife got rid of her and with a prison record against him started life anew with a second wife. He recovered his lost fortunes through the failure of another man and moved to Chicago, where he reorganzed the trac- tion system and debauched the city gov ernment, one writer has declared as It was never debauched before. It Is even asserted that he corrupted the govern ment of the state of Illinois and as one historian describes it, finally, when he capitalized the past, the present and the future, he unloaded his property and turned his face toward the east, leaving to the city legacy of corruption, econ omic mischief and socalistlc discontent to plague more than 2,0O0,000 people for a generation to come"
 Yerkes next went to London, where he laid aside his despicable business meth ods and was hailed as a public benefac- tor. Then he came back to New York to die. Domestic scandal followed him to his death bed, and while one of his nu- merous "favorites'' watched over him his wife refused to enter the room. After his death the papers were filled with details of his domestic entanglements, but de- cency prevented the naked truth being told. Although he left millions to this city to build a hospital and donated to the public a mansion filled with art treas ures, more mourners have frequently fol- lowed a pauper to the grave than fol- | lowed Yerkes body to it's last resting place. In London the papers printed col umns about the death of a great and good man. And a month after his death his widow married a young man about town who was so greedy for wealth that | he could not wait a respectable length of
 time before annexing the income from l the Yerkes millions.

EXPLORER PREDICTS
UPRISING IN AFRICA
Says Revolution Against Rule of White
Men Is Only Question of
Time.

BERLIN. Sept. DIR. Karl Peters
stated. in an address delivered at Han
over recently. that during the tour in
South Africa from which he has Just
returned he again observed many evil
dences OF the growth OF the Kaffir dan
ger in all European colonies.
He has come TO the conclusion that a
negro rebellion against whites rule in
Africa Is only a question of time. The
Ethiopian movement. in particular, has
been greatly strengthened during the
present year. and its adherents already
possess six daily papers. in which hatred
against the whites Is assiduOusly
preached TO the Kaffirs.
DR. Peters does not believe that the
dream of the Afrikanders to constitute
a United States of South Africa will
ever be realized on the ground that
South Africa cannot nourish itself, and
viii also always be dependent on Euro
pean capital.
