Chattanoo ga Times. Senator Crane Is making himself popular around campaign headquar ters by bis evident willingness to give Tatt a lift. It is hardly likely that Lord Wll lougbby de Broke confines his speeches In the house of lords to financial questions. The speeches Editor Watterson makea on the stump also read well In editorial type. So he doesn't lose any time by being away from the of fice. A New York paper says John D. Rockefeller "always had a literary turn." But he didn't Indulge It ear lier In life. He had to economize on the "midnight oil." Harpers Weekly says "the sole, burning question Is one of kerosene oil." Well, Harper', haa been clamoring for light, and more light.

That How ard Gould's Income formerly was $600,000 a year, but since the de pression of business of last year bas been reduced to $400,000 and that he has lost $300,000 this year, was stated by his counsel In an argument before Justice Biscboff today. These figures were given in opposing an ap plication by Mrs. Katherlne Clem mon! Gould, who Is suing Mr. Gould for divorce, for an Increase in her alimony from $25,000 a year to $120,000. To support her application Mrs. Gould asserted that her bus- band's income was $600,000 a year. Delancy Nicholl, counsel for Mr. Gould, made the assertion that Mrs. Gould's course for many years has been one of unbridled extravagance and last year she received from her husband $220,000. Counsel for Mr. Gould declared that In 1900 Mr. Gould told his wife he would separ ate from her unless she abandoned her habits, but that Mrs. Gould de clined to do so. Clarance J. Shearn, counsel for Mrs. Gould, said that Mr. Gould had tried to "starve" his wife out in Castle Gould and had filled the house with spies, who watched her every movement, compelling her to remove to a hotel. Mr. Nicholl retorted that in seven years from 1899 to 1906. Mr. Gould gave his wife $766,500 and that Mrs. Gould had aaved $200,000 of it. Decision on the increase of ali mony was reserved.
