ISSUES new ORDER
Postmaster General Cortelyou Has
Promulgated New Postal Re-
gulation Regarding Post Cards.
INTERESTS MANY PEOPLE
The Ruling Admits to the Mails
Some Very Profitable Mail Mat
ter-TO Go into Effect
March 1, 1907.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Postmaster
General Cortelyou has issued an or
der which will be of interest to {;
multitude of people engaged in the
collection and exchange of illustrated
postcards which are understood t.
be very profitable mail matter. The
Universal Postal convention recently
concluded in Rome provides that On
October 1, 1907, these cards which
are technically designated post
cards" in our service in contra-dis
tinction to the government postal
card, shall be admitted to the mails
exchanged between the countries OF
the postal union when bearing writ
ten messages upon the left half OF
the front of the cards; but inasmuch
as such cards are now admitted tc
the postage rate applicable to post
cards both to the domestic mails OF
the principal countries of Europe and
to the mails exchanged between them
the postmaster general that has or
dered that from this date postcards
conforming to the provisions of the
Rome convention, when mailed In
foreign countries and fully prepaid
by postage stamps, shall be delivered
to addresses in the United States
without additional charge for post
age, and the order further provides
that on and after March 1, 1907, such
cards when fully prepaid by postage
stamps at the rate applicable to post
cards, shall be admitted both to the
domestic and international mails of
this country and treated as postcards.
The date of the admission Of these
cards to the domestic service was
fixed at March 1 next, anticipating
the date when the universal postal
conviction becomes effective in order
that our people might, at the earliest
practicable date. have equal facilities
with other countries referred to in the
exchange of these cards.

The Castellaine Divorce Case Now
on Trial.
Count Spent SS,OOO,OOO of Gould
Fortune Before Truss
tee Was Appointed.

Paris, Nov. 1.-The Castellane d.
vorce case was heard Wednesday af-
ternoon before M. Henry Ditto, presl-
dent of the tribunal of first instance
of the Seine. Neither the count nor
the countess was present. Maitre
Cruppi, for the countess, pleaded for
. divorce on the documentary evil
ience submitted.
On an extended review counsel de-
clared that the countess at the be-
under influence, but solely for the
purpose of ending forever the peril
of the moral desolation of her house
hold. He explained the marriage con-
tract, by which the regime of sepera-
ton of property was established from
the very beginning, and stated that
domestic difficulties were over the
question of money, ill-treatment soon
followed, the count even striking the
plaintiff before the servants.
When he reached the question OF
the infidelity charged against the
count, Maitre Cruppi did not mention
names. or even initials, designating
the correspondents as Madame A."
Madame B." and so on.
BY 1899 the countess interests, NJ.
Cruppi said, were so heavily compro-
missed by the counts extravaganza
that it necessitated a family meeting
in New York and the appointment of
legal trustee But the difficulties
regarding money were unceasing, and
in order to obtain funds the count
pawned or sold at ridiculous prices
the most costly objects. When the
countess protested the count abused
her in the presence of servants, and
when she declined to attach her sig
nature to documents he frequently
pinched her and some times struck
her. the first time being four months
after their marriage.
The final rupture came the day at
ter the famous entertainment of King
Charles of Portugal, December II,
1905. The count at that time insisted
that the countess go with him to a
shooting party given by a noble or
whom the countess had cause to COM
plain and when the count became en-
ragged at the countess refusal, she
abruptly announced her intention to
separate from him and began legal
proceedings.
Counsel placed at 100000 the to
tai of the counts expenditures pre-
ceding the appointment Of trustee.
At one time, there was seizure Of
their property in a suit for the recov-
cry of a debt amounting to 1929, 900.
