had won by fair and foul means in

near-nobleman, noble In name and ig'

Of his type.
On March 4, 1895, Boni de Castel-
lane, alleged nobleman Of France, mar
ried Anna Gould. She had met the
pink and white, dapper Frenchman by
special arrangement of his own-of
which she knew nothing-and perhaps
she had loved him, in way. Perhaps
she dreamed he was her Prince
Charming. The Frenchman came to
America. He lived in a back room
over dressmakers establishment.
He had come to America to marry
money. He said it himself. And be-
fore he married he asked for a mar.

Gould when he privately announced
that he would marry her. He had lit.

wed. He went to hotelkeeper and
explained. Then he moved to one OF
the greatest hotels in the world and

New York, Nov. chairman J.

tonight sent the following telegram
to President Roosevelt:
"Of nine districts heard from in
New York which we classed as
doubtful we have returns showing
seven Republican and two Demo

estimate of Republican congress by
fully fifty"

Finds Comfort In Baby.

The countess was not happy-but
then Boni was born and came to COM
fort her. Her husband continued his
wild extravagances until even Paris
marveled. Millions seemed to have
turned his head. The nursery for his
heir in Petit Trianon was furnished
at the expense of more than the ordi-
nary man makes in lifetime.
In June of 1897 the income for the
year was spent. Boni still was buy
ing. He bought from Asher Wertheim,
of London curios for which he could
not pay. This bill later proved one of
the direct means Of his downfall.
Among other things that he wanted
was an Italian palace. He bought one
at Verona at a stupendous price. In
1t were II ceilings by Tiepolo, and
the count wanted them transferred to
Paris. It was done and then-they
were sold at enormous loss.
The year 1898 was marked by Cas-
tellane's duel with Henri Turot and
his blackballing in the Jockey club.
But still, with her two sons, the lit
tie countess was busy and found
solace in them, even when the ex-
travagances of her husband and his
wild actions caused doubt as to his
sanity. His eccentricities and his half
insane desire for notoriety amazed
even Paris. He planned riot direct
ed against the president of France at
the races at Auteuils and he and his
wife were among the chief actors In
the comedy-drama which cost them a
fortune.
Boni was becoming ridiculous. He
proved himself skillful at fencing,
wounding one adversary. Even his
title was attacked; he was ridiculed

surprises.
Throughout the south the Demo

majorities. In the west and east the
states that were aligned two years
ago in the Democratic and Republi-

change, the Democrats making gains
in some instances and the Republi-
cans in others. The Republicans re-

Children May Prefer Father.

The attitude of the children them
selves toward the warning parents is
rather inclined toward the father.
They are more French than American,
having been raised In France and in
such luxury and extravaganza that
they scarcely know the meaning OF
money, the thing that has caused all
OF almost all-the woes OF the
American girl who allied her millions
to a doubtful French title.
Their loyalty to their mother is I'M
doubted, but between America and
France they choose France, because
the older ones have been trained In
French schools, and, deeper than that,
because they have been reared in the
religion of their father. II the choice
lies with them 1t will he France and
the Roman Catholic church on one
side. and the love Of their mother
and money-on the other. The coun-
tess herself has become almost

Millions to Save Name.
In 1900 financial troubles were at o
climax. Castellane had openly slurred
the Goulds, especially Helen Gould.
His family openly charged that Anna
Gould was "bourgeoise." Boni was az
reckless as ever. Petit Trianon was
incomplete. Boni came to America
again to get money and failed The
countess chateau at Dumarais was
ordered sold for debt and only an ap.
peal to her family saved 1t. Trader
men openly insulted the Castellanes
and dunned them in public. George
and Edwin Gould gave 100000 to
save the family pride. Boni had spent
$3,O00,00O, besides his wife's income,
and owed over 100000.
In 1901 the courts took a hand to
save the fortune of the little Ameri
can. A receiver was appointed In the
person of her brother George. The
family paid $4,7OO.O0O of Boni's debts
and held the countess fortune to pro-
tect her and themselves By order OF
the court the income Of the Castel.
lanes was reduced from 100000 to
100000, but they fought in court and
got the entire income.
In that year Boni fought Henri do
Roday and shot him In the leg. Also
he gave boar hunt that cost 100000
for the Grand Duke Boris. He enter
tanned the king of Portugal.
Early in 1903, when Jay, the young
est baby, was few months old, the
countess suddenly left the count. II
was reported that they were es'
tranged, but Boni came to America
and denied this report. Also he was
charged with refusing to pay debts Of
honor.
Debts were piling up again and the

hand out more millions to be thrown
away.
With her three children to comfort
her and keep her busy, the countess
did not care. But in 1904 the real
trouble began, the trouble that changed
the countess and made her woman
and a mother, instead of the reckless
follower of a more reckless husband.
