Paris, Nov. 1.—Count Bonl de Cas
tellano, it I* believed today, will be
forced to tight a series of duels as a
result of amazing expoftu-es In tlie
hearing of the suit for divorce brought
by the countess, formerly Anna Gould.
The letters read to M. Henry Dltte,
president of the tribunal of first In
stance of the Seine, by Maitre Cruppl,
counsel for the countess, and which
she had found, leave no doubt, it Is de
clared, that the count will be chal
lenged by the husbands of the women
who wrote the burning love letters to
him.
Must Resign From Clubs.
The names of the women were not
mentioned and they were designated
Jn the reading as Madame A, Madame
B. etc., but their names are well known
in all the fashionable salons. Nearly
.all are society women and several are
women of title.
As a result of the shameful disclo
sures, including the revelation that the
count had beaten his wife, Count Bonl
will be forced to resign from all his
clubs.

The radical members of the chamber j
of deputies also will make It so dls- j

more, this time to Miss Helen Hah*, the

Prom a recent talk made at a public
meeting In Cartersvllle by Robert
Jones, son of the late Bam P. Jones,
It Is believed that he will soon enter
the ministry and follow In the steps
of Ids father. In the talk young Jones
reviewed Ills past life up to the time of
his conversion some weeks ago.
He is welt known in Atlanta, for
some months being connected with one
of the Atlanta newspapers. During
recent years, however, he has )>een In

Should young Jones decide to enter the

By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.
Now York, Nov. 1.—Fair skies and
bracing weather are the prognostics for
election day.
Ordinarily, this would spell profit to
the Republican cause. But this elec
tion annihilates all political proverbs
of past times and mixes Democrats and
Republicans In camps of conviction,
rather than party.
The issue between Hearst and
Hughes is made clearer and more defi
nite every day. The trusts, ,!n abso
lutely solid rank, are lined up against
Hearst. The trusts, In solid rank, are
lined up for Hughes. “By their friends
by their fruits shall ye know' them,”
and the people are wiser than they
have been before.
Trusts Fighting Hearst.
The best proof of Hearst's absolute
sincerity in fighting the trusts Is the
desperate sincerity of the trusts fight
ing Hearst. Can they buy or bully the
election from the people’s candidate?
Every prospect now Is pleasing to the
friends of Hearst.
Max Ihmsen. manager of campaign,
is out this morning tin a statement that
the election Is already safely won,
and that it only remains to watch the
polls for fraud, I heard a Tammany
audience last night applaud to the echo
the statement that Tammany loved a
great fighter and loved Heurst all the
better for the llvklng he gave them two
years ago.
Betting Cuts No Figure.
Tfie assembly rallies were partlcu-
arly enthusiastic last night and rang
with applause over the Indorsement of
Hearst by Nathan Stfaus, the Demo
cratic philanthropist, and by Bryan, and
Adlni Htevenson, the Democratic nomi
nees of 1900.
The betting odds, which'slightly fa
vor Hughes, cut no figure here, be
cause men recall that ten days before
the election In which Hearst undoubt
edly won the mayoralty, the odds were
lo to 1 on McClellan and 4' to 1 on
the day before election.
Up to this time It. Is believed that
the Hughes camp Is short of money,
and only money can save it.
Silent Vote It Feared.
,The New York World, ablest and
fairest of the opposition papers, de
clares this morning that the great si
lent vote Is a menacing reality this year,
ami that, while the Republicans hope
for the best, they fear the worst. They
fear that the disaffected Democratlc
vote will be more than upset by the
disaffected labor vote, and the paper!
reports the Republican campaign man- j wants here
agers as shrieking to their subordl- j hibltion” oi
nates: "Get back the labor vote." The ; ber

For a debt of about $200 the whole

On Wednesday evening, county of

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 1.—Expect
ing startling developments, there was
a throng at the opening of the cor
oner’s inuest today which Is to ex
amine and fix the responsibility for the
electric railroad wreck on Sunday.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is repre-
sented by Judge Joseph G. Haskell. ex-
Judge Joseph H. Thompson and George
A. Bourgeois. The state of New Jer
sey’s Interests are being looked after
by District Attorney Abbot.
Foreman Lee, of the coroner’s jury,
arose at the opening and asked per*
inlsston to make a public statement In
which he denied u story printed In a
Philadelphia paper alleging that he had
prejudiced the innocence of the rail
road comiiany.
Coroner Guskell then charged the
Juiy to discover the cause of the ac
cident, whether It happened by the act
of God or man. The railroad offered
the extensive resources of the Penn
sylvania company to assist in ascer
taining the true cause of the accident.
The road, through Its legal representa
tive, said tt did not know the cause of
the wreck and hud nothing to hide.
The testimony of the agent near the
bridge was as to the condition of Wal

of the cars.

Hearst Displays Courage.
The personal element of the cam
paign has no more thrilling feature
than the marvelous courage of Hearst.
His daring knows no bounds, and each
records some fresh Instance of the
superb nerve of the man. Only a few
days ago he was attacking and ex
posing the most powerful paper In the
Western world; another day he was de
nouncing the reckless statement of
Murphy, the powerful adherent whom
he has literally chastised Into working
for him; another day he was defying
the McClellan Detnmracy In eloquent
terms, and now he id boldly demanding
the Indictment of the state hoard of
elections for criminal Ignorance or par
tisanship in the case of the league
nominees.
Hurely the definite Democracy has
found a leader, bold, dashing, resource
ful and tireless to the last limit of en
durance.
Hearst Is Great Speaker.
Hearst Is back today from his last
tour nt the state. He has made on an
average six speeches n day. And greut
speeches they were; pungent, tense,
packed with meat atid bristling with
epigrams that enter the minds of the
people. And they are splendidly de
livered.
Hearse’s development as an orator
since his Atlanta Visit is little short
of marvelous. Two Western congress,
men told me yesterday that not Bryan
himself controlled and swept an audi
ence better than the man who was
charged with not being able to make
a speech. And the best speech of his
campaign was made impromptu at
Byracuse In answer to an afternoon

took Ids seat on tl»e stage.

The baroness was Marie Bulxer be

was of an unknown family, and mar

manner that gave the baroness tin early
op|»ortunlty for a divorce.
Prince Albrecht Inherited $2.000,OB*)

the kaiser may have been induced to
