allowance which he has been directed
to pay her. It was we'll known that
he wished to avoid further airing of
their marital difficulties.
The allowance, furthermore, which
the court directed him to pay was
$4,000 year, and, although that was
$ll,OOO more than he had voluntarily
given her, it was said to be little more
than one-thirtieth of his income.
Although the alimony was low, in
view of the large income from the
Jay Gould estate, it is said to be the
largest allowance that has ever been
made in case of this kind, so far
as the records of any court in this
country could show, except where a
private settlement had been made.
Mrs. Gould still retains dove,

is the $1,7O0,O00 valuation of the Cas-
tie Gould estate, for which he failed
to find purchaser last year at ST.

gage or dispose of any of his real
estate without his wife's consent. and
she may place lien on the real es-
tate to obtain her alimony in case
ne should default in his payments.

Miscellaneous Account of the Senate

one months bill, that for December
having been $24S.5S. It provides Ap

vored because Senator Hale of Maine
introduced it years ago. This water
has come to possess traditional
standing as the proper thing-of it,
klnd-to slack the senatorial thirst.
The miscellany fund buys type
writer's and bicycles, horses, wagons
and, maybe, an auto or two, although
none are found listed in the classified
accounts. No senator was ever see1
upon a bicycle. There are bicycle
messengers, however, and the senate
being big-hearted institution, give.
