MME.DECASTELLANE
STILL HEADS SOCIETY
Count Boni Is Wrestling
With Problem of
Living.
By RAOUL DE SAINT RENE
Paris, May t.—While Count Bonl fie
Castellane is still wrestling with the
serious problem of how to make a
living without actually hiring himself
out as a chauffeur or dancing master,
his divorced American wife, Anna
Gould, has, contrary to all expecta
tions, undertook to maintain her high
social position.
To be sure, there are no longer lucul-
,11c or costly fetes given at "Petit
Trianon," which, by the way. Is for sale
and will probably be bought by the
former Mrs. Hugh Tevls, but Anna
Gouig Is still entertaining quite lavish-
ly and the creme de la creme of Paris
ian aristocracy do not hesitate to ac
cept her Invitations.
At her latest inuslcale a young
American girl, Miss Brooks, who is
studying music here, won a great suc
cess by her masterful singing of airs
from "Alda" and "Thais.” The music
was charming and was furnished by an
orchestra concealed behind palms on
the famous balcony.
Mme. Gould at thls'occaslon wore a
blue velvet gown trimmed with moos-
sellne de sole and handsome Venice
lace.
As a proof that Paris society has not
ostracised the ex-countess I shall only
mention that among the guests were
such famous names ns Princess Pierre
d'Arenberg, Princess de Polignac, the
Countess de Montebello, Prince de
Murat, Countess de Pourtales and
Countess de Chabrillon.
And while this fete was going on poor
Bonl was prububly sitting home chew
ing his pen In an eflbrt to And more
unpleasant things to suy about the
American girl In Ills potboilers In the
newspupers.
A curious mistake has occurred at a
public hospital here. Two young wom
en were recently taken there and one
of them ge^j birth to g boy and the
other to a girl. The mothers were
subsequently discharged from the hos
pital, but before they left their babies
were taken from them and vaccinated,
according to law. The vaccinated ba
bies were then returned and the moth
ers left.
A few hours afterwards one of the
women returned In tears and stated
that she had given bihh to a boy, but
the nurse had handed back to her a
girl, and she now Insisted she must
have her boy.
The woman's statement caused a
great commotion, as the other mother
had left no address. There was noth
ing to do but await developments, and
the mother of the boy refused to leave
until her rightful child had been re
stored to her.
Toward midnight the other mother l
arrived, greatly excited, and demanded'
her baby girl Instead of the boy she
had received. A change was effected
and both women returned home happy.
An open-air theater like the Hearst
theater In California, which was de
stroyed by the San Francisco earth
quake, opens tomorrow Id Algeria.
It Is called "Theater du Holell" and
Is a girt from M. Rene Gamier, owner
of the North African Review.
The first play to be produced
"Klectra,” by Alfred Polxat, and the
actors and actresses are all stars from
the Paris Comedle Krancalse. Hun
dreds of American tourists have bought
tickets for the premiere at which the
French assistant secretary of fine arts,
M. Dujardln Reaumets. will preside.
May 9 "Horace," by Corneille, will be
played, nnd after that will follow "Iphl-
genla," by Euripides. V
Algeria has already two other am
phitheaters, one at Flnrgad, the Afri
can Pompeii, and the amkiue theater
of Carthage, both of which will be open
this summer.
American visitors returning to Paris
after having spent the winter In Italy
are all expressing their regrets at Ihe
gradual disappearance of the pictur
esque gondoliers of Venice.
It has become noticed that gondnlns
are being less and less used by the
Venetian nobles, who prefer Ihe less
poetic but more practical modem
launches.
The gondoliers have long protested
against the motor boats, which swamp
their gondolas and leave behind them
an evil odor, but no one has listened.
The motor boats have come to stay,
and it Is the old black gondolas, In
use for nearly centuries, which will
have to go and soon, very soon, nil
the poetry will have disappeared from
the famous canals.
At the present time they are used
only by tourists and the tourist season
la too short for Ihe gondoliers to earn
enough to keep themselves all year
reuml.

EDWARD VII STOPS
ROYALjRAFTl
Gentlemen of Cellars and
* Pantries Must Quit
Taking Txpsi
BY RICHARD ABERCORN.
London, May 4.—King Edward, who is
great believer in personal liberty and who
seldom, If ever, Interferes with the personal
affairs of those around him, had a very un
pleasant duty to perform on his return from
his recent Mediterranean cruise. Because
of repeated utterances by socialistic and op
position members of the bouse of commons
he had to warn several members of the
royal household not to use their official po
sitions for private gain.
Among those who came under Ids criti
cism were Sir Vernon Harcourt, who Is re
sponsible for the royal palaces, who had
added to his Income by nuttlug bis high In
fluence at the disposal of enterprising trades
people, nnd who was lectured very severely
n private by the king.
Another gentleman who spent a very un
comfortable hour with the king was Colonel
Klugscote, paymaster of the royal house
hold and gentleman of the cellars, with an
official residence In 8t. James palace, who
had been accepting tips nnd commissions
from a well known champagne Ann for
pushing tho sale of Its bruml among high
society.
Lord Knnllys. the king's private secre-
iry, who is associated with various flnnn-
nl ventures, and who was Involved In the
Yecent Siberian gold field smash, also came
In for a reprimand, but told the king that,
as his official iucome Is-small and his poal-
tlon lu society requires him to be n liberal
spender, lie had to do something to muke
both ends meet, /
That Russian revolutionists are receiving
their ammunition from England is the
amusing discovery made by tho English po
lice.
Vast stores of' ammunition have l»een
seized at Newcastle* and there is evidence
of vast traffic In this kind of eontralutnd.
I .urge numbers of case* of cartridges have
been shipped into the Tyne and the Wear,
where local centers have been established,
with more Important centers of export at
'Irlmsby nnd Edinburgh.
The cartridges, which are of two kinds,
for revolvers and rifles, are manufactured
nt Mannheim. Germany; but ns Unssian
agents keep un eye oil all shipments to Rus
sia they nre shipped to this country for re
exportation to HiiiiIkIi ports.
One Itussfau revolutionist, who Is be
lieved to have directed the whole export,
was a resident of Newcastle for more than
year, and claimed to be the agent of an
