MT. Gould Feels keenly the Result of His Divorce Case and Wants to Get Entirely Away From
 America.

New York January 16.--(Special.)- Frank J. Gould. whose divorce troubles and more recent difficulties with Bessie Ge Foie, the dancer have interested so- ciety, is to quit America, for some years at least, according to a statement made by friend who has just returned from Europe. Only MT. Gould's intimate friends understand what plans he has been making. but today if was learned that for the next ten years this country Is likely to see very little of him.
 Whether MT. Gould intends to expatri- ate himself permanently could not be learned. Nor was any information ob- tainable that would indicate whether he purposes sacrificing his American resi- dence.
 The principal reason for this action is said to be disappointment at the man ner In which many of his former friends are treating him since the courts un- wound his matrimonial knot with the former Helen Kelley. He is said to feel bitterly the humiliation of his position since the publication of his letters to Miss de Voie and intends to stay abroad at least long enough to let these things be forgotten.
 France Is to be his new home. The most elaborate arrangements are now practically completed for MT. Gould to maintain not only Paris home, but also a country estate at Chantilly.
 Mir. Gould has already leased luxuri- ous suite in the Rue Victor Hugo. His agents have been engaged for some weeks securing the best shops in Paris to make the new apartments the finest bachelor quarters in the French capital.
 It is the country place at Chantflly, however, that is to be his main place of entertainment. For some time negotia- tions have been under way with Mime. Menier, widow of the famous chocolate manufacturer. who astonished the world by purchasing the Canadian island of AnticostL to rent her country palace. It is not known if these negotiations have been completed as yet, but they were con- ducted on a ten-year basis.
 MT. Gould intends to go into racing in earnest, although it would be more of a pantime than a business project. One of his trainers has been studying the entire French racing system and getting all possible information about likely horses which may run next year under MT. Gould's colors. In addition to what horses may be purchased in France and England it Is said that NIT. Gould will send abroad some animals which have won fame on the American turf

 She had been suffering all day from a severe headeach and in the afternoon sought relief by & walk in tEe open air.
 It was due probably to her intense suf- fering that she did not sec a motor car in the Champs Elysees. or hear the horn blown frantically by the cnauneur. The car threw her down, and one of the wheels went over her legs.
 The chauffeur and spectators thought that she was killed, or at least seriously hurt, but the lady stood up, turned to the driver and said. 'Thank you. this has cured my headache" She was real lv pleased and went away delighted at the cure, which besides, had the merit of being very cheap.

understand that the advantages of the south as place for the profitable in- vestment of capital are being considered in England. and If the proper efforts are put forth some portion of the golden stream may be diverted towards southern railroads, mines and manufactures.
 Will Brown, Hayne, Patton and Scales be able to force the price Of cotton up to 20 cents as they declare they will? It is not only the spectators who would like to know the answer to that question The New England mill men are even more deeply interested. They had about ad- Justed themselves to 15 or even 16 cent cotton and now they are on the anxious bench.
 In the meantime the market here is largely a gamblers market, with violent fluctuations which make the speculator feel alternately poor and rich until he is finally left in no doubt that Jobs turkey was a Christmas fattened fowl in comparison with him.
 I understand that papermakers are ex- perimenting with devices to make the refuse of the southern lumber mills, which now goes into the slab pits into wood pulp and ultimately of course into paper. Just what measure of success is met with I am unable to learn, but it is said the experfmenters are very hopeful of being able not only to extract the rosin and turpentine from the southern pine but to get it as a by-product which will prac- tically pay the cost of handling. Sawdust also may be treated by this process. so it is claimed
