Says He Is a Suitor For
Madam Gou|d's Hand
Gould Family Is Split and Big
Fight May Follow,
Anna Is Ready to Fight For Her
Property Rights.

New York, April l. The Prince
Helie De Sagan is a sutton for the
hand of Nine. Anna Gould is an
nounced by the Prince himself in a
statement in which he added that
Nine. Gould would sail for France very
soon after his own departure, which
is set for April 9. The princes an
nouncement was made concident with
the circulation of reports that Nine.
Gould has quarreled with her family
because if her determination to mar
ry De Sagan. Nine. Gould is quoted
as saying that she shall not longer
be oppressed and ruled by her family;
that at last she has asserted herself
and shall abide by her own decision"
Nine. Gould has left the home of her
sister, Miss Helen Gould, with whom
she had been staying since her arrival
from France more than a week ago
and is living with friends at the Hotel
st. Regis.
Not only is sentiment but money as
well involved in the break between
Nine. Gould and the members of her
family. The will by which Jay Gould
disposed of his fortune contained a
codicil which may have a prominent
part in developments which may fol-
low a Irolongation of the family
trouble. This codicil provided that
any of his children who should marry
without first gaining the consent of
the other sons and daughters should
forfeit one-half of his or her interest
IN the estate. In Nine. Gould's case
the one-half is varously estimated at
between $600O,O00 and $4,000 900. 1t is
said to be the contention of Nine.
Gould, however, that this portion of
the will was abrogated as far as she is
concerned when the consent of her
brothers and sisters was given to her
marriage with Count Boni De Castel-
lane.
Having taken this position she is
said to have retained a prominent firm
of attorneys with large interests both
in New York and Paris and to have
informed her relations at the last fam
lily conference that she is prepared to
fight, if necessary, for what she re-
CARDS as her right to her entire share
of the fortune left by her father
Nine. Gould is i'll in her apartments
at the st. Regis and the date for her
departure for Europe is believed to
be largely dependent upon the rapidity
with which she RECEIVERS. No definite
date for her sailing has yet been set.
so far as can be learned, but it is not
believed that it will be delayed longer
than 10 days or two weeks.
Mrs Tyler Morse, with whom Nine
Anna Gould is staying at the st. Regis
hotel said today:
Il am authorized to say for Nine
Gould that there will be no formal an
nouncement of her engagement made
in this city. The engagement will be
publicly made in France, according to
certain formalities that must be OBJ
served there as Nine. Gould is citi-
zen Of France. Nine. Gould should ar
rive in Paris before the end of the
month if her health permits, as she in
tends to sail directly after Easter. l
cannot say how soon Nine. Gould will
give her answer to the Prince, but it
will not be made publicly known in
this country"

TO MAKE SECURING BALLS.
Two Methods of Preparing These uss-
 fui Aids to Housewives.

Net every housekeepert knows how to prepare securing balls. The follow ing is a good method: Mix fuller's earth and strong studs of white cas- tile soap to a stiff paste, then work this into balls about the size of a hens egg and allow them to dry. To use, first remove all surface dirt with brush after shaking, and sponge the soiled places lightly with tepid water
 Then rub gently but very thoroughly with one of these balls. The garment should be hung in dry place for a day CT so. then the dry earth brushed of. After this, It is ready for press ing. =
 Another way of making these balls Is 10 use five ounces of pipe clay. three ounces of powdered French chalk and three ounces of alcohol. This paste should be molGed into small balls and set aside to dry.
 If a housekeeper has any leisure time on her hands after the autumn housecleanings she would find i: a great help to make lot of tbese securing balls and have them on hand for any emergency.

CANNON NOT ALONE TO BLAME.

The following item is taken from the Washington Post:
 The movement to limit the pow CT of the speaker af the house of rep resentatixes will not. in my opinion, amount to a great deaI," said Mark A. Smith, delegate in congress from Arizona, at the Willard. Why blame the speaker for powers that were dele gated to him by the house itself? The speaker is merely the product of our rules. If his powers are curtailed, lne house will undo its own work I am in favor of revising the rules. because think they ought to be revised
 Mir. Smith is correct. The rules of the lower house of congress have been just what the republican majority sanctioned and agreed. The present rules allow the speaker great power in controlling legislation. entirely too much, but the speaker has had no power than was conferred upon him g the republican majority and he cannot exercise this arbitrarily for a day longer than the majority consent to.
