B0NI IS HOPEFUL
1AsIELIANE STILL BELIEVES
 WIFE WILL BE RECONCILED.
Scandal In Which Jay GouId's Dau~h- ter Is Concerned Drags Slowly In French COurt-DecisiOn Will
 Re Delayed.

Paris, Nov. In spite of the reiter- ated statements made yesterday bv Maitre Cruppi In the opening address of the trial of the case of the Countess de Castellane. that there was not the faintest possibility of a reconciliation, it IS by no means certain that the count has completely abandoned hope of such an outcome.
 His entire conduct since the suit for divorce began would appear to be based upon the belief that his wife who for ten years submitted to so many indignities, must yield in the end This theory will explain the counts re- fusal of liberal offers of life income and 1t is disclosed that the count never ceased writing love letters to his wife In which he begged for reconciliation. and in which he mathematical the American lawyers under whose inf1u- ence he charged she was acting.
 Friends of Count Boni say he was dumbfouded to learn that the countess had allowed the presentation yesterday of a detailed case. He was su confi- dent that his wife would surrender that he did not prepare d line Of de. fense. and that 1t was only today that the documents which under French law, must be exchanged, were trans ferred to counsel for the opposition.
 
 letters written to Count Roni by his wife, and which show the contempt in which she held her husband These letters probibly will necessitate the production of the letters which provok- cd them.
 II seemed certain today that Count Boni's defense to the charge of intidel- fly will be "unprovcn" and that he con- soquently will demand an inquiry and the nrOHnCtiOn witnpqSpG fnr he puupose of prolonging the case. his idea being to accomplish reconcila- ton. This would open q road to ex- tricate the count from the money diff cuIties with which he Is beset.
 The calling of witnesses is what the attorneys for the countess are partic- ularly anxious to avoid. as so doing names or France. Maitre Cruppi did not utter one word yesterday to give clue to the persons referred to as Nine. A." Mime. B., "Mmr. C." and Nine D." except to those persons familiar with current gossip.
 If an enquiry can he avoided the de- cision probably will hot be rendered before November 21
 Maitre Cruppi expects to speak for an hour ard half next "Wednesday, and the remainder of that session of the court will be given to Maitre Bon net. of counsel for the count The court will be then adjourned for a week in order to give the public pros ecutor, who under the French law, rep resents the interests of the community and the State in divorce cases, an op- portunity to present his conclusions. After this there will he delay of an other week while the judges prepare their decision.

The Seasons New Dances.

AS the winter approaches with it's So
ciety events and amusements much at
tention is being given to. the develop
ment Of several altogether new dances
that have been prescribed by the Ma
tional Association of Dancing Masters
as the only proper steps for the season
to come. Of these new creations the
"Whippoorwill' is no doubt the most
radical departure from the staid lines of
the. old time round dances, and for
poetry of motion very nearly ap-
proaches perfection. The "Elmore," the
Psyche" the Vienna" the Duchess, y
the "Tyrolienne," the "Waskena,' the
"Pompadour" and several more very
beautiful steps have been designed by
the masters who spend their lives com
posing new dances and they all indicate
a contemplated revival of the old and
justly popular Oxford Minuet which for
many decades was the only dance OF
nobility Frank Tinker has just re-
turned from Boston and New York. after
having thoroughly familiarized himself
with these new dances, and will teach
any or all of them at his classes now
forming. Dancers who care to be
strictly up to date will do well to see
these new creations of the best dancing
talent in the world.

The Star Course.
Brilliant Opening Of Splendid List of
Entertainments.

The largest audience in recent years
greeted the opening entertainment in the
Y. M. c. A. Course last week Tuesday
evening, when Romeo and Juliet was
presented by the William Owen Company.
The play was a decided success and the
large audience showed their appreciation
by frequent applause. The players were
handicapped by the total absence of
facilities for handling scenery and by the
very cramped conditions on the stage
Almost none of their beautiful scenery
could be used, but despite these difficult
ties the work of the actors was so good
that the lack of scenic effects was little
noticed.
The committee are very much pleased
at the enthusiasm which is being shown
for this course. A great deal of care and
work has been given toward making
this the best course St. Johnsbury has
ever had, and it is very gratifying to
know that the public appreciate what
has been done.
1t is many years since the announce
ment could be made on the opening
night of the course that the receipts were
sufficient to cover the entire expense of
the course, but such is the case this year
This allows the committee to provide
for various items whichgo to make these
entertainments pleasing to- the audience.
Some part of this seasons entertain
ments is sure to be pleasing to everyone.
Even if we should be disappointed in
some number the next entertainment is
sure to be entirely different in character
and the person who cannot find some
thing along the six attractions which
appeals to him must be hard to please
The next entertainment is the Ion Jack
son Grand Concert Company. This
attraction was voted the best in last
seasons course and it was for that
reason the first company selected for
this season. The artists are Dr. Ion
Jackson, tenor; Miss Anna E. Often,
violin; Miss Adah Hussey, contralto;
Mr.. Dion Kennedy, piano. Everyone of
them will be welcome here. The date is
Tuesday evening, Nov. II.

Judge Stafford's Lecture.

1t not large audience it was certainly
almost appreciative audience that greet
ed Judge Wendell P. Stafford in Athe-
naum Hall Saturday evening and all
who heard his mastery address on
Thaddeus Stevens are agreed that it was
without question his finest of many
excellent addresses. The speaker was
happily introduced by Rev. Edward 7.
Fairbanks, who pleasantly referred to
the visit of Thaddeus Stevens to St.
Johnsbury.
No abstract can do justice to the ora.
ton which was great picture OF great
man. The Montpelier Journal, in re-
ferring to this address given in repre-
sentatives hall the night before, well said,
"By apt anecdote, vivid word pictures,
and mastery eloquence Judge Stafford
well nigh called Thadeus Stevens back
from the grave and make him again live
out his career"
Referring to his early life in the town
of Peacham the speaker paid the finest
tribute to motherhood ever heard here.
The weak and sickly child in the family
was the one the mother loved and sacri-
feed for and by her sacrifices he was
educated at Peacham Academy, the Uni
versity of Vermont and Dartmouth
College. Then followed the weary years
in Gettysburg, trying to make money by
practicing law, and finally his defense of
a murderer which brought him fame and
plenty of business.
The orator followed Stevens to the
Legislature of Pennsylvania and showed
him winning the fight for free public
schools in the state by a speech that
won AN overwhelming majority of
hostile legislators and made the name of
Stevens a household word in the state.
In 1849 he was sent to Congress, became
the leader of the Free Soil party in 1850
and made his first great speech in the
national House as bitter opponent OF
slavery. He soon retired from Congress,
disguised with the spirit of compromise
that pervaded that body, and did not
return again until 1869 when the
imminence Of the Civil War crisis again
called him to public life and the leader
ship of Congress. This statesman's
opposition to the weak conciliatory
measures attempted by Congress, his
prophetic vision of the outcome of the
war, his work in preparing the constitu-
tional amendments that enfranchised
the negroes and accomplished recon-
struction, and finally his impeachment
of President Johnson, were recalled by
the orator.
Judge Stafford gave in closing most
eloquent peroration and fine tribute to
the relgiouslife ofthe great commoner. !"
The lecture was generously given for
the benefit of Sunset Home and netted
that worthy institution over $35.

Tenth Anniversary of St. AlOySius
Parish.

The members of st. Aloysius church
wish to publicly thank the merchants of
the village for their kindness and gener-
osity in donating such beautiful articles
for the bazaar.
This year marks the 10th anniversary
of the establishment OF St. A1oysius par
sh, and the bazaar is being held in com
remuneration of this event. Ten years
ago the Right Rev. Bishop in his wisdom
and Judgment decided that the English
speaking Catholics of St. Johnsbury were
capable, generous and numerous enough
to form a separate parish. That the
Bishop was right in his Judgment is evil
dent from the fact that during the pres
ent rector's administration the sum of
$4,000 has been collected and expended
on the debt and other improvements of
the parish. The bazaar promises to be
the most successful that has been held in
the past 10 years. A cordial invitation
is extended to all to attend, and the ba-
zaar is to be held in Pythian Hall, Nov
ember %, 30, "a and 26.

COMPANY D MinstreIs.

No matter what the cause of your
meloncholia might have been, or how
serious you may have been taking life, if
you attended the soldier boys annual
event Friday evening, those feelings were
sure to be supplanted by state of cheer
fulness and smile that was bound to
stay put. A record breaking crowd
witnessed this "laugh-fest" and it was
generally conceded that all previous
attempts had been labeled "23' by their
work Friday night.
The grand opening showed tasty and
effective stage settings. Thecho were
in full dress uniform, and the eight end
men in just the reverse. The songs, both
sentimental and rag-time, were well
rendered and well received, and encores
were frequently called for and freely
given. In addition to the work of the
soloists and chorus, the eight fun makers
were continually handing out local
hits and sallies that kept the crowd
in an uproar. The olio convinced our
people that all good talent is not confn-
ed to large cities, but that some of our
local artists are up with the leaders in
their line. This part of the program
opened with a banjo solo by Claude
Goodrich, whose masterful work on that
instrument has won him a deserved
popularity and an enviable reputation
not by any means confined to this
locality Interfering to Frank O, French
it is unnecessary to comment. The fact
that he was there would naturally lead
to the inference that there was "some-
thing doing" while he held down the
boards. In this case they were not dis
appointed. In the role of caterer he
certainly is call to the good" and his
"Bill Of Fare" consisting of rich and
spicy sayings, witticisms, and local
all French fried, were edible
and satisfying in every respect except
quantity. The outside talent, LaFavor
Brothers, in their unique acrobatic work,
and Prof Bonnette, aerial artist, were
well received and did good work.
:, The finale was characteristic song,
beautifully arranged with tableaux and
calcium light, and was fitting close to
one of the best local talent entertain
ments ever given in st. Johnsbury.
