DEATH CLAIMS
FORMER HUSBAND
OF ANNA GOULD
BY REYNOLDS PACKARD
United Press Staff Correspondent


PARIS, Oct. 20. = Count Boni
de Castellane, who lived as the
husband OF Anna Gould in a pink
marble palace on the edge of Bou-
logne Forest and entertained with
O splendor Paris had never known,
died today, broken in health and
spirit by an illness that extended
over several years.
Boni de Castel1ane and Anna
Gould we're married in New York
in 1885, The countess obtained a
civil divorce in 1906, after three
children had been born to the
couple, and the count had made
great inroads into the Gould for
tune.
The count, deeply religious, spent
much of his time preparing for
death during the last months of
his life.
The elegant young Boni de Cas-
tellane, smartest figure of Partisan
nobility, built on the fashionable
Avenue de Bois de Boulogne a pink
marble palace, copied after the
little Trianon palace of Marie An
toinette at Versailles, for his AM
erican bride.
The little marquis furnished the
imagination and the Gould fortune
furnished the dollars For years
the good bourgeois of Paris were
thrilled as society gathered at the
gay and luxurious parties held at
the pink palace on the edge of the
forest.
Works of art of tremendous
value were gathered by Boni to
adorn its walls. He searched the
world for choicest tapestries. His
salons were large enough to hold a
regiment of soldiers. There was
private theatre where 600 persons
sat for his amateur theatricals.
Footmen in powdered wigs, silk
en- stockings shining below satin
breecheS, stood so magnificent and
impassive that one inquisitive guest
stuck pin into the calf of leg
of one of the wigged creatures to
see if the footmen really were alive.
AS the court told the story, the
footman screamed, Princess Isem-
bourg fell down in fright, and was
carried to bed with badly
sprained ankle.
But the pink house eventually
brought tragedy Anna Gould di-
vorced her husband, after long and
humiliating quarrels, married his
cider cousin, Prince de Sagan, and
continued to live in the pink pal
ace.

No Rush For Marker Plates Applications Fifty Per Cent Below Figure of Year
 Ago

With less than three weeks re- maining in which those persons, who wish to reserve particular number plates for their cars in the 1893 registration series, may apply, g. decrease of 50 per cent in the number of applications made to this period a year ago is reported today by the department of motor vehicles. A total of 33,770 numbers were assigned on this basis for the 1892 series.
 Up to November 15 each year the department endeavors to make such reservations as are requested. It is urged that those who intend seeking special numbers for next year do so at once.
 - During the first nine months of this year, figures compiled in the department indicate, Connecticut citizens have sacrificed pleasure but not business pursuits. An indication too, of gains in business enterprises may be inferred from the fact that g. total increase of 1,240 in regis trations of vehicles employed who'll ly or in part for business purposes have been issued.
 Whereas there has been a drop of 12,207 in passenger car registra- tions for the period, there is an in- crease of 143 commercial registra- tions and an increase of 1,097 com bination licenses. Thus it is seen that although pleasure car regis trations have declined Al per cent there has been an increase in bus- mess vehicle registrations of 2.4 per cent.
 Registrations this year are as follows: passenger 281.482; com mercial, 46,643; combination. B. 498.

Bunker Hill P. T. A.
 to Sponsor Play
Snow White and the Seven DWarfs" Benefit Milk
 Fund

Few women identified with the theater have been active in so many branches of it. and few have made such a valuable contribution to 1t as Clare Tree Major, actress, author and playwright has made. Perhaps her greatest contribution was to the national theater as founder. and director of the Chi1- dren's Theater company of New York.
 Grimm's fairy tales, though first published in 1872. are still read in every home where ther are chil- dren and one of the most fascina- ting of these tales is "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" which has been dramatized by Clare Tree Major and will be presented at the State theater Saturday morning. under the auspices of the Bunker Hill ParentATeacher Association for the benefit of the Milk Fund. This is real opportunity for the children of Waterbury to enjoy what has been the privilege of the children in the larger cities for years and at the same time to con- tribute to the very worthwhile and much needed Milk Fund. The children will have plenty of thrills in the Seven Dwarfs, the friendly little creatures who took pity on Snow White when she has escaped from the wicked Jealous queen. Then too there Is the handsome prince. and the old witch in the forest. No child should miss see- ing this performance.

About 10 gallons of apple juice disappeared, but MT Shaker still has plenty of time to replenish his stock providing he is anxious to prove a. popular host on the occa- sion of the contemplated party.
 If members of the detective bu- reau are successful ther will be an- other party" staged at police headquarters for the persons he- sponsible for the disappearance of the little brown jugs" No cider, however, will be served at this particular gathering.
