GOULD MAY WE'D AGAIN
Said to Be infatuated With Another
Titled Profieate.

NEW YORK, October GA cableeram
from Paris says that despite her denials
ii Is we'll understood that Madame Anna
Gould is so infatuated with Prince de Sa-
gan that she is determined to marry him
The strenuous protests of her family and
the fact that the prince is the most noto-
r.ous spendthrift in Europe weigh moth
ing to her.
The prince is telling his friends that the
marriage IS all arranged and that only
the details of settlement remain to be per-
fected. The prince asserts that he does
not want Annals money, and proposes to
make post-nuptial settlement upon her
of the De Sagan estates. which Will come
to him after the death of his father. The
prince Is certainly devoted to Anna and
Anna is undoubtedly infatuated with the
handsome spendthrft, whose titles are
the most ancient in France.
iSnce Annals infatuation for the prince
has become the gossip of the boulevards
the princes creditors are beginning to
hope they will be able to extract their
money from him after his marriage to the
American millionairess
II is reported that George Gould visited
his sister fortnight ago and en,ieayored
to persuade her to break off the match,
and he Is reported to have said that II
Anna married De Sagan the entire Gould
family would have nothing to do with
her ever afterward AS reply to this
1t Is stated that Anna is now in conmuni-
cation with Judge Dillon of New York.

fer financially under her fathers will for
marrying against the wishes of her fam
lily.
1t Is reputed that the princes debts in
France aggregate fifteen million francs.
While he owes ten million marks in Ger
many.
If the prince marries Anna he NAV have
to fight duel with Count Boni de Castel
lane. for 1t Is reported that the count is
furious over De Sagan's wooIng of the
mother Of his children. II the count is
unable to meet De Sagan on the dueiing
field he will make things interesting for
Anna by applying to the courts for per-
mission to remove the children from the
custody of their mother on the ground
that her marriage with De Sagan will
make her an unfit person to care for
them. If the count makes this move the
hearing of the case will be a sensation.
for the count will have to prove De Sa-
CAMS worthlessness.
The De Sagan estates in Germany are
worth millions, and since the bankruptcy
Of the prince they have been managed by
the German government, which Is finan-
cially interested therein In the event of
the prince marrying Madame Anna and
paying off the German obligations. the
kaiser may permit the estate to revert to
the De Sagan family again.
