FRENCH PROsECUT0I1 SPEAKS OF
 CAsTELLANE CHILDREN.
RecOnrnenas That They shouId Re- masn With Anna Could Despite Her Indiscretions-COart
 Will Decide Dee. 30.

Paris. De4. 2s.-M. Matter, the pub lie prosecutAr, was heard today in the suit brought by Count Boni de Castel- lane against his former wife, for the custody of his 1three children be awarded to His mother.
 Tn presenting his conclusion to the court the public prosecutor recom- mended that the childfen be left in the custody of their mother.
 M Matter saored both the Count de Castellane and the Prince de Sagan. The Count stobd well to the front of the court foon4 balancing, his silk hat on the end of his cane and was the exposure of ah eyes Several times when the condbmnations were partic- ularly severe he bit his lips and flush ed crimson but he never lost his com . posture. ,,s
 M Matter based. his argument en- tirely on the welfare of the children. He painted in telling colors the un- happiness of thd first marriage of Miss Gould which oeompellede her to seek a divorce. He then described how in her subsequent isolation she married Prince Helie de ISagsn against the op- position of her brother, George u. Gould, who was fully informed con cerning the past life of the Prince and who had hoped, especially in the interest of the children, that his sis ter would marry an American. The lawyer then spoke feelingly of the solicitude for the three children displayed By Miss Helen Gould. Regarding the future of the, chil- dren he said the primary conclusion was that they should be reared ir France. The advisapility of placing them in an institution was complicat- ed by the delicate health of the oldest boy. a condition which in the opinion of the. public prosecutor, rendered il | imperative that the children be kept togethe He said 1t was impossible to confide them to the care of theiI father or to his mother. the Mar quise de Castellane, which would amount to the same thing.
 As for the Princess de Sagan 1t was true that regrettable things had oc- cured. but the court must remember that previously she had been an ad- mirable mother and what had hap pened had not made her unworthy.
 In view of these facts, M. Matter said his conclusion was that the ehil- drsn should remain in the custody of their mother, provided the Prince and the Princess. de Sagan live circum- specify.
 The two older boys should be placed in school near Paris selected by the father and the mother. and in case of their disagreement by the President of the court All three should pass their vacations at the residence of the Marquise de Castellane, the court fix ing the. duration of the visits of both the father and mother.
 . Thus the mother will retain the GUS tody of her children who have the need of 8 mothers care.
 M. Matter said In conclusion:
 If this Is not the best solution, 1t is not a bad one The ideal condition of course would be to return the chil- dren to their tender parents and give them a sweet and peaceful home, but this apparently is impossible"
 The court will render its decision December 3O.s ,

PYRAMIDS OF
 FOOD CHARITY Elks Have Finished Titan
 Efforts. TONS OF THINGS FOR POOR Santa Claus to Be Dispatched to
 All city's Corners. Estimated that Fully 200 Families and More VIII Be visited By Wagons
 of Fruit and
 

Tons of flour, rice, sugar. coffee, pro- visions of almost every description: crates of oranges and apples, and all ready for consignment to the poor of Montgomery, are stacked In the bff- Hard room at the Efks' Home, giving the place the appearance of a grocer's warehouse, And there are baskets. too, that will be packed to their ut- most today, to be sent, Christmas day. here and there in every direction, to those destitute families whose quar- ters Santa Claus will forget.
 At 2 o'clock Christmas morning, twenty dravs will line themselves be- fore the Home on Bibb Street; forty or fifty of the Elks will stand ready to place upon each of the wagons the baskets, and then, each manned by two of the members, the vehicles will be started upon their errand of charity. families will experience the bountiful Christmas cheer that the benevolent order plans to dispense; for the last week scores of names of families and persons needing assistance have been sent in to the committee of the Elks, each cause investigated. and to each of the worthy poor a basket--no, two baskets, have been allotted.
 For to each house will be sent two baskets. In one there will be an assortment of necessities--sugar. rice, salt, coffee, crackers, tea, and the like; in the other will be fruits, luscious or anges, apples, polished Ito the degree of flaming redness. ,.s
 A sight of the enormous quantities of good things piled up at the Home serves as afi eye=opener, for few would think that the Capital City harbors so many in need. But the committee men declare that they find enough calls upon their bounty to dispense every grain of the eatables. The Elks set out to raise s1.000 for Christmas charity, and succeeded. And every cent has been expended.
 Besides the distribution to the hun- dreds of local indigents, baskets and contributions will be made to institu- tions out of the7 city. Thus, to the Old Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek, to the Woman's Home, Hale's Infirmary. St. Margaret's Hospital, the poor house, I~and one or two Of the suburban schools, will the full measure of Christi mas charity be dispensed. There will also be a quantity of stamps sent to the State eonvicts at Wetumpka, gift which seems trivial to the outsider, but to those who know the desire cd com munication with home that the prison CTS possess, it is acclaimed as note- worthy charity.

 By 8 o'clock the crowd had percep- tibly decreased. people had gone home to- fix things for the little ones, and to little Christmas gatherings at the houses of neighbors. Those who were left were mostly young men, fellows from the colleges who were meeting and talking to old friends. By 10 o'clock these, too, had decreased. By II o'clock one could see full block dis tances along tho sidewalks where nc one was passing. and those who were out were mostly belated jewellers who were gladdening the atmosphere with snatches of popular song.

Praise Polk Comfy Mohair.

Messrs. Sidney and Smith, extensive
dealers in mohair, were up from Port
land, Friday, examining the stock
recently turned in at the Dallas ware
house on the Polk county mohair pool.
Mr.. Sidney has just come to America
from Port Elizabeth, South Africa,
and has been in the mohair business
for years. He said that the general
run Of mohair in the pool was quite
similar to the output in his own coun-
try, and when U. s. Grant and W. A.
Ayres showed him few samples Of
their best mohair, he said that it fully
and in some samples sur
passed the very best OF the South
African product.
