THE MOUSING OHEGOXIAX, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY G, 1906. SHE SEEKS DIRGE Countess de Castellane Will Not Be Reconciled. APPLIES TO FRENCH COURT Count's Lawyers Vainly Seek Settle ment Intrigue. "With French So ciety r .Woman Brought ,-, 'Quarrel to Climax. PARIS. Feb. 5. Countoss - Boni de Castellane, formerly Anna Gould, en tcrcd a pica for divorce today. Repre sentatives ot the Countess and the Count appeared before Judge Henry Ditto, of tbc Court of First Instance, who, in conformity with -the French law, endeavored to arrange a concilia tion beforo' allowing' definite suit to proceed. It is said on unquestionable author ity that judge Dltte's efforts were not successful, the Countess absolutely dc t lining to resume relations with her husband and that, after repeated but vain attempts by Count de Castellanes advisers to arrange a settlement, the representatives of the Count and Coun toss left the court and tomorrow suit will proceed. Another effort at reconciliation will almost certainly be mado before .the suit comes to trial in the ordinary course. Mother Will Keep Children. No decision has been reached rela live to the eventual custody .of the children of the Count and Countess, but they, being under age, wll naturally for the present remain In the care of their mother. Friends of the Count and Countess do Castollanc express little hope that any adjustment of their differences will be brought about, but, as divorce proceedings under the French law are ery lengthy, new developments may occur before the case comes up for trial. A decree cannot bo pronounced under from three to six months. Rumors have been current for a long time that the Countess had de cided that any continuation of her re lations with her husband was impos sible, and her removal from the Cas tcllane residence to a hotel gave sup port to the belief that she had finally decided to apply for a divorce. Another Woman In Case. Sensational reports have been heard ( with reference to the Count's conduct. The name of a prominent society lead er of Paris, a woman of very high standing, has been mentioned in con nection with the affair. But tho great est reticence has been maintained by all the parties concerning the progress of the proceedings looking to a recon ciliation, and even this morning a fa vorable result was expected, especially as the Countess returned to her resi dence. It now appears that the efforts of those interested In bringing about a settlement of the differences between the Countess and the Count without an appeal to the courts have been un availing. The Count is said to be in the southeast of France. J)ENIAI COMES FROM COUNT t v- Cousin In Xcw York Receives Mes sage About Quarrel. "NEW YORK, Feb. E. Count Armand de Gontautblron, a cousin ot Count Boni do Castellane, said yesterday that he nad received from Paris the fol lowing cablegram: "Say that it is not true. Boni." Assuming that the cablegram re ferred to the report that the Countess de Castellane, formerly Miss Anna Gould, of New York, contemplated an uctlon for separation from her hus band, the Count de Gontautblron, who 3s a frequent visitor at tho home of the couple in the Avenue Malakoff, Paris, declared that the denial conllrmed his own opinion that the report was wholly untrue. "Such action." he continued, "on tho part of my cousin's wife would be cn tirtly at variance with the conditions which I have every reason to believe exist between the couple. When I am in France I am a constant visitor at their home. I have never known of r ny disagreement between them, in fact, tftey got along very well togeth er "I am very sure that, if any such ac tion as is indicated in the stories that have recently been cabled to this country had been taken by the Count ess, I would have been the first to Lear of it from Boni. I hope there Is no such deplorable thing happening. But in this life who can tell? Per iiaps it may happen in ten days of ten weeks. I do not know, but that it has not already happened I am now sure." TRACK IS NOT A HIGHWAY Idaho Man Loses Damage Suit Be fore Court or Appeals. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5.-In the Cir cuit Court of Appeals today a decision was rendered in the case of Harry S. Jones vs. the Nortncrn Pacific Railway Company. This company has a seven mile road running from Wallace to Burke, in Shoshone County, Idaho". Part of this road runs through a canyon, and i was the "habit of the general public to use the trades as a highway. Jones, while walking on the track, was struck by a train. He brought suit and tas awarded J7000 damages. The Circuit t'ourt has reversed the decision, instruct ing the lower court to give a decision for tho railway company.

Besides cer tain alterations that promise to avoid de lay In landing Chinese who apply for ad mission, other alterations have been made where possible with a view to' avoid any action that would seem offensive, pro vided that the object Intended by such regulations could .be accomplished other wise. 3Iusl Inform Chinese of Law. As an illustration of this, the commis sion recommended tho discontinuance of the Bertlllon system of Identification. Another amendment is a requirement that the administrative officers should advise Chinese persons, cither laborers or of the exempted classes, before their de parture from the United States, of the conditions under which they will be ad mitted upon their return. Upon this point the officers are directed to use special care, so that no Chinese person who has a right to reside in this country shall be allowed to depart therefrom under a mis taken Impression that he will be read mitted. Provisions are also made for the notifi cation of Chinese who have been denied admission at the ports of entry of their right to appeal from such denial to the Secretary, such notice being required un der the new regulations to be In the Chi nese tongue, and the further precaution to be taken to notify the Chinese Consul. if there be such an officer at the port of entry, of the adverse action of the officers at such port in the case of any Chinese person, so that said Consular officer may have the opportunity, should he deem such a course necessary, to employ coun sel or other-wise Interest himself in behalf of his countryman.

When, in cold or ivet weather, the rheumatic parieut feels twinges of paiu iu the joints and inu-scles it is natural to think that the trouble is local and that it is caused by thechill or the damp. The trath is that rheumatism is a disease of the blood, caused by thefailareof the body to cast off certain poisons. It is hereditary and. often runs in several generations of one family. Gold, damp ness and certain localities do. promote the development of the disease, but the root of the troable is always in the blood. With this iu taiud, it will be readily seen how useless it is to try to cure rheumatism by rubbing liniments on the skin. External applications, are of use in securing temporary relief from pain the cure for rheumatism lies in purifying and enriching the blood. Mrs. "Frederick Brown, of 40 Sumptcr street, Sandy Hill, X. T., was a sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism from the time She was sixteen. She says: "It first appeared, in my knee joints, then in my hips and waist. It became a regular thing that I would bo laid up all winter. The rheumatism affected mostly my hands, hips, feet and shoulders. My hands were all puffed up and my feet became deformed. I lost my appetite, couldn't sleep and sometimes I was compelled to cry out, the pain was so intense. " For several winters I was under the doctor's care and while his medicine re lieved the pain for a little while there seemed no prospect for a permanent cure. I was confined to ray bed, off and on, for weeks at a time. My limbs swelled dreadfully at times and I was reduced almost to nothing. " In the spring of 1904, upon the ad vice of a friend, I began to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. At that time I wasn't able to do anything and could barely eattenough to keep alive. I felt a change lor tne better in about a month. I began to eat heartily and I suffered less pain. Of course I kept on the treat .ent, using care in my diet, and iu about three months I was cured. I am entirely well today and do all my own work." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mrs. Brown by driving the rheumatic poisons out of her blood. But yon must get the genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, sold by all druggists or by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Higk-GraJe Watch Repairing . , , Cipman,molfe$d.
