In these days of the oncoming au
tomobile It la sometimes Interesting
to pause to consider the horse, that
noble animal, which baa been char
acterised as ("man's best friend," His
important Msltlon among - the na
tions of the earth Is easily demon
strated and this fact la best made
known In Buffalo Bill's Wild West,
where he cuts a most essential fig
ure. The Rough Rider contingent
itb Colonel Cody'a exhibition com-
irises equestrian experts from all
atlons, arrayed In native coatumes
nd performing horseback feats ac-
irding to their Individual methods
I employed In their own countrlea.
o witness all these boraemen on
heir native heath one would be
'ompelled to travel the world over,
'or there are Cossacks from Russia,
avalrymen from Japan, Guachos
'rom South America, Bedouin Arabs,
Royal English Dragoons, Irish Lan
ders, German Cuirassiers, Mexican
Yaqueros and our own native Indian
cowboys and western girls. Each of
these nationalities have saddle meth
ods of their own. They range from
the reckless daring of the Cossack
to the stately grace of the English
cavalryman. The Cossack la the
most reckless of all riders. What
seems almost a clrcua performance
Is to him merely a drill. The wild
looking fellowa stand up In their
stirrups, stand in their saddles, stand
ert their shoulders, stand on their
h.-ads their horie galloping mad
ly the while and.whlrl their awords
until they look like bu-aaw. Con
trasted with th'- exhibition, the mil
itary bearing of the German, Eng
lish and Amer.ijin cavalryman may
seem tame, b a P. all adds to the
composite plcti'ro of horsemanship
which haa as lis chief exponent that
knight of the saddle. Buffalo Bill,
who twice dally, rain or ahlne, leads
his cavalcades through the most re
markable performance ever present
ed In public.

E CASE
PARIS, Sept. 16. Though ac
cused by his wife of having lived
for months off her earnings as an
actress, Prince Robert de Broglie,
whose matrimonial adventurea were
aired In France and in the United
Statea a few years ago, haa aban
doned his spouse and her child and
announced his Intention to bring a
suit for divorce against her.
The Princess de Broglie Is an Am
erican woman. Her maiden name
waa Eatella Alexander, and she lived
in San Francisco. She was the di
vorced wife of Sidney D. Belt when
she married the prince In Chicago
In 1906. Tbe prince'a father was
opposed to this union, and he suc
ceeded in having the Chicago marri
age declared void by a French court.
Following this action the prince re-.
married Miss Alexander under the
French law.
When the princess waa aeen at
bed home today she was Intensely in
dignant at what she characterized
as the "cruel and cowardly act" of
her husband. She said that the
charge made by her husband was
baseless, and that It had been simply
trumped up by the prince, who doubt
less wanted to rid himself of his
American wife for the purpose of
marrying another woman or to ef
fect a reconciliation with his family.
Continuing, the princess declared
that ahe had supported her husband
by her earnings on the stage this
summer. While at Ostend singing
under the name of Manitza ahe sent
remittances regularly to the prince,
who waa Idling away hla time at
Chamounlx and other resorts. Just
before he returned to Paris she sent
him a considerable sum of money.
When he returned home August
.1. the princess said she noticed cold
ness on his part and taxed him with
it. He thereupon left the house and
told her to call upon his lawyer If
she wanted an explanation. This the
princess did and was told that her
husband had left her forever and
that he intended to bring action for
divorce. He claimed that the amount
of her last remittance to Chamounlx
proved that ahe had obtained the
money dishonorably.
The princess replied that even had
this money been obtained improper
ly which she denied, the prince had
not hesitated to accept It.
The princess describee her posi
tion as desperate. She Is besieged
by creditors and has not a penny to
support herself and baby. Her only
hope Is to secure another engage
ment on the stage.

Fir la Tunnel.
DETROIT. Sept. 16. It Is be
lieved today that more bodies may
be recovered from the new tunnel
under the river here, In which a fire
is known to have cost two lives.
More than 200 workmen were In the
tunnel when the fire broke out and
several were overcome. Had the ac
cident not occurred just at mid
night, while about one-third of the

ities would probably have been much
greater.
DR. GOODWIN DIES.
LOS ANGELES. Cal., Sept. 16.
Heartbroken and the end hastened
by humiliation incident to Oregon
land-fraud charges brought against
him. Dr. David M. Goodwin, formerly
a prominent practitioner and one of
thia city's wealthy men, passed away
without having been Informed that
a United Statea commissioner had
ordered his removal north for trial.
Dr. Goodwin was 75 years of age.
He leaves a widow, a bride of three
days, who was Miss Mary A. King,
whom hla skill once saved from the
grave, and who crowned her devo
tion by marrying him on his death
bed, In accordance with his dying
wish. Mrs. Goodwin is 50 years old.
Thousands of friends who knew
Dr. Goodwin well all along main
tained that he was innocent of any
wrongdoing, and for months, as he
lay on his bed, unable even to alt up,
he Insisted, over and over again,
that he was guiltless. Long before
the close of the preliminary hearing
granted him and his alleged associ
ates he broke down.
The widow will get all that re
mains of the physician's once large
fortune, he having arranged the mar
riage so that she would be sure to
receive the property.
DENIES STORY.
SPOKANE, Sept. 16. "Mra. How
ard Gould was my protege before her
marriage, and I did the best I could
for her. I did py her expenses for
a time, but this was simply a busi
ness proposition with me. There
was nothing In her conduct toward
me or mine toward her that could
give grounds for scandal."
So stated Colonel William F. Cody
(Buffalo Bill) to a Chronicle report
er when questioned regarding tue
sensational divorce Instituted by
Howard Gould against hla wife,
Katherlne Clemmons Gould. The
old acout maintained he had merely
aided Mrs. Gould, as he had many
others who aspired to the stage.

CANDIDATES TO MEET.
CHICAGO. Sept. 16. For the
first time in the history of modern
politics two rival candidates for the
presidency of the United Statea will
meet at the same board and address
the same audience, when William H.
Taft, Republican, of Ohio, and Wil
liam J. Bryan, Democrat, of Ne
braska, are to be the. guests of honor
at the annual banquet of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce at the
Auditorium on the evening of Oc
tober 7.
Thia announcement waa made yes
terday at the headquarters of the
association, which already had se
cured assurances of the presence of
the two nominees on different days
for the third convention of the Lakes
to tbe Gulf Deep Waterway associa
tion, for which the association will
act a host.
It already has been announced
that Mr. Taft would open the con
vention the afternoon of October 7.
and that Mr. Bryan would close It
October 9; and that Mr. Taft would
be the guest of honor at the banquet
the evening of October 7. Mr.
Bryan's acceptance of the dinner In
vitation, however, assuring a notable
occasion, came as a pleasant sur
prise. Mr. Bryan was Informed, as Mr.
Taft had been, that the banquet
would be a non-political one and
that It would be held under the aus
pices of a non-partisan organisation.
He readily agreed to attend.
There will be no question as to
which of the candidates will occupy
the right-hand seat. It will be oc
cupied by Mr. Taft at the express
wish and with the full approval of
the Democratic nominee and his
friends.
Chairman Mack declared that Mr.
Taft, as a recent member of the pres
ent administration, waa clearly en
titled to the place of honor. The
Ohloan therefore will sit at the right
hand of President Hall and the Ne
braakan on the other.
