SoC ALNO iJH Si1S through his marriage with daughter of Jay Gould. The count is about as careful of money as of pebbles on the seashore.
 Although the countess is protected against the squandering of her for tune by the terms of the marriage set clement, her husband has the winsome manner and the fluent tongue so often characteristic of spendthrifts, and it is not surprising that the wife has ire quently yielded to the husbands per suasive speech. It is said of Count Boni that he can when he pleases make even men believe that black is white.
 The money question ultimately pro- duced state of tension from which the countess nerves suffered till her mind attained that point of irritability when the slightest event might provoke catastrophe. Such an event happen ed, and the catastrophe followed. |
 Despite all this, it is learned, that the situation is not irremediable It is true tuhI pIOtetuluSs nave Dtcii ut- gun, but they are only for a separa tion, it is now said. and not for an ab- solute divorce, and even if carried to a final issue they will not cut the knot.
 That the whole matter may be re- ferred to a family council. it was de clared, George J. Gould had cabled the countess to come home" and to bring her children with her. j The cable to the countess urges, her to visit Georgian Court, bsr. br,athers Lakewood home. If she comes she will bring her three children-George, Boni and Jay.
 Of all the American investments in old world titles the former Miss Goulds has probably been the most costly.
 Reduced to cold figures, the price of her title has been approximately S2.01T every day of her married life for eleven years ta.t D.. r

ToMne's Novel Mnrriare.

PROVIDENCE, k. l., Feb. T. Charles W. Towne, author of the Fool ish Dictionary" and prominent gradu- ate of Brown university, was welded in a novel manner to Miss Edith H. Kellner of Newark, N. J. While the bride and bridegroom were visiting at Amesbury. Mass, they mounted their hunters and rode thirteen miles across country to Plaisto, N. H., to the church of which the bridegroom's father, the Rev. Charles 4. Towne. is pastor. Here they were married. After the ceremony, without waiting for congratulations, they jumped on their horses and gal loped back to Amesbury, taking all the fences and ditches that were on their route.

The forest service fully recognizes the importance of fence posts in farm economy and the great demand for suitable timber. Studies of the growth and duration of various species have been made, and the limits of the con- mercial planting range of each has been more closely defined. Rapid growing species which are not dura- ble have been studied to determine some form of preservative treatment which will increase their durability. Further work along this line will un- doubtedly add largely to the list of species which can furnish the desired product. The annual production or fence posts in the regular logging camps of the country. as reported by the last census, is S,715,661. How many times greater than this is the annual cut from the home woodlor no figures exist to show; but by taking the total number of farms and their acreage and making q conservative all lowance for posts for the fences in- closing each farm, it has been estimat- ed that upwards of 1.000,000.000 posts are set each year. Such figures are too vast to mean anything. Even the nine million posts of the censusE4 n mere drop in the bucket as compared with the unreported production, would, if set 15 feet apart, girdle the earth, or would build solid pile D feet wide, 40 feet high. and mile long.

It is not difficult to reach a couclu- sion as to the source of the influences which are at work first. against thU SantO Domingan treaty. and second. to fomant discord and rebellion III Santo Domingo. says Washington writer. That island is rich in sugar lands and wherever sugar is ralsed there is more or less trouble. espe. cially if raised for the United States market. The plantations of Santo Do- mingo are largely, if not almost exclu- sively. controlled by American capl- tai, much of it coming from parties in New York city. The sugar is sold in this country aud for some years there has been a small but very sprightly lobby at work in Washington and in New York. off and on,,. in behalf of SaDto Domingo sugar interests It was very much in evidence during the fight over Cuban reciprocity when ii considerable amount of money was expended in the preparation and CIT culation of addresses 10 the American people. of articles intended for news paper publication. and of cartoons. The Amcrican-Santo Domingan sugar men justified their attempted imer- r.. |. sL country and Cuba on the ground that they were Americans engaged in busi- ness in Santo Domingo and that Santo Domingo should have whatever tariff concessions were made to Cuba. Their interference. however. was with out avail and congress laughed at their prctensions to consideration in this connection.

 Herman Delegate to Alwcciras Gives Evidence of kaiser's Good Intent. ALGECIRAS. Spain, Feb. 7.--Count von Tattenbach, the German minister to Portugal and the second of the dele. gates of Germany to the Moroccan con ference, and the Marquis Visconti ve. nosta, the head of the Italian mission to the conference. figured in two little incidents last evening which show Ger many's desire to avoid rupture with France and the neutral powers desire to maintain European peace. The count, who was chatting with the wives of the ambassadors, remarked:
 T have been painted as sort of devil throughout this Moroccan affair.""
 One of the ladies replied that if peo- pie could see him in his present amia- ble mood it would remove such an un- favorable impression.
 "Perhaps so," answered Count von Tattenbacb, but this legend has be come so firmly fixed that fear history willtp;cture me with horns." 4
 Just after this Countess von Tatten- bach passed her autograph album. in which she was taking the signatures of the ambassadors, to Marquis Visconti Venosta, who leads in the efforts of the neutral powers to effect reconcilia- tion. He took the album and wrote in Latin the following:

 The marquis passed this pacific in- scription to Count von Tattenbach, who smiled grimly his approval.
 This glimpse behind the scenes gives the keynote to the present efforts to reconcile the Franco German relations.

The Horse Market,

Normally spring demand is most ur-
gent at this season, but general tfaae
is characterized by only moderate ac-
tivity. The largest receipts of finished
stabilized drafters have been marketed
the past week of any like period or
the current year, but the clearance OF
the offerings was less satisfactory than
Anticipated This commercial class
has not responded in urgency of de-
mand and advanced prices with the
progress of the spring trade as was SO
pronounced last season. Prices IN l9oa

burdensome to consumers and radl-
cal change In equipment has peeh qui-
city inaugurated among big eastern
teaming interests from heavy drafters
to medium weight and more actlVe
chunks While the heavy CONNER
cial drafter is wanted, consumers are
determined to force prices down or
else substitute lighter workers in the
general teaming industry. Prices are
nominally stationary at $l60@2Io Tor

drafters were selling year ago at S3oo

year has yet reached the level of S4O0.
Small chunks for the southern trade
are selling at $5O@115. Farm chunks

Apparently farmers west of Chicago
are pretty well filled up with feeding
cattle. but there is still quite a strong
demand from the east, and prospects
are that it will continue for some
time. The bulk of the feeders which

but later it picked up some and at the

was 1000 more than last week, but the

Slowing down of the demand has not
brought about any very gloomy feeling
among sellers respecting the probable
trend of values in the immediate flu
ture. Consumptive demand is still in
pretty good shape for this time of the
year. and the fact that the proportion
of good fat beeves included in market
ings continues small lends hope of
good prices for such classes within
the next few weeks. The present out

any sharp upward trend in values, but
the trade believes there is generally

Provision stocks are light and very
little addition has been made to stuff

have the effect of checking the run,

advances in prices, as dead mutton
