There la nothing unusual In the proceed
ing for divorce instituted by Countess de
Castellan in Paris. It la the usual fate
of American girls who exchange their pa
trimony for foreign titles. Exception! to
the rule there are, but they are might
rare, and the second daughter of Jay
Oould la treading the thorny path along
which scores have traveled In heart an
guish and misery.
The Castellunes were married March 4,
19S, at the New York home of George
Gould, brother of the countess. It was a
wonderful wedding wonderful In appoint
ments, In lavish display and In the vast
crowd that almost blocked the neighboring
streets. The '.ate Archbishop Corrlgan tied
the nuptial knot, and bride and bridegroom
as usual gave solemn pledges to remain
faithful until death. A ton of southern
clematis, 10,000 tolossoma and 1,000 yards of
vines were used In decorating the Oould
home. "A series of arohes In the hall,"
aid the New York Sun on 'the day fol
lowing the wedding, "were hung with
southern clematis, and the edges of the
suspended vines were ' finished with a
framework of smllax. Wire frames were
made to fit In the arched doorways, leading
from the hall Into the reception room at
the left, and the Rant India, music and
dining rooms at the right. The frameworks
were first hung with asparagus and then
Into the thick bed of feathery green were
thrust thousands of yellow and pink roses.
The woodwork of the doors was entirely
lost from view. Passing under the arches
of clematis, under the rotunda of the hall,
the guest found himself under a tent of
asparagus. The apex of the tent was In
the stained glass celling of the hall, sixty
feet above the floor of the hall, and the
roof of the tent was formed by numerous
strands of asparagus vine falling In grace
ful sweeps from the celling to the hall,
where the strands were caught up. The
strands of asparagus were studded full of
yellow roses and Faster lllv flowers.
"In the Kast India room against the
front wall was a purple canopy, under
which the bride and bridegroom were mar
ried. Everything else In the ; room was
white and green from myriads of lilies' of
the valley. The wire frames were made to
fit the walls of the room, and Into the
frames lilies of the valley were thrust In
a deep bed of asparagus. The count and
countess received under a canopy of lilies
of the valley and the arch over the door
was a mass of lilies of the valley. The
muslo rofim opening Into the Fist India
room was treated In an equally lavish
manner with American Beauty roses. The
hslusters of the stairs to the uppermost
landing were covered with cut palm leaves,
and to this foundation of green were fast
ened shout a thousand long-stemmed
Filter lilies.
"The heavily draped walls of the hall
and adloiiitng chambers produced a pe
culiar effect. In the thick decorations the
rritrl tint of the walla was lost and the
'--nr of the house had the appearance
of being a dense thicket with Moomlng
walls, and !n the center a glgmntle flower
ing, vine winding up to the apex of the
green grotto.

In the Limelight.
From the day of the wedding to the pres
en time the Castellane have been conspic
uous In the public" prints, due chiefly to' the
extravagances and political ambitions of
the frivolous count. When the couple left
this country the countess, who was then In
her 18th year, had as her share of the Jay
Gould estate a fortune of $18,000,000, which
yielded her an Income of over 1900.000 a
year. This looked enormous to every one
but the count, but It became evident within
a few weeks that he Intended to show how
to live up to It.
Here are a few more ways Bonl made
money fly, not yet mentioned In the dis
patches: ,
He bought a $160,000 equipage and em
ployed the outrider, Mont Jarret, formerly
In the service of the president of France.
He bought a rfl.OOO clock.
He bought a $38,000 antique cabinet. "
He purchased a mantelpiece for 150.000.
He purchased a necklace at $100,000, half
of which he gave, his wife. No one knows
who got the other half. - 1
Barillas the Money.
Max Nordau, the French novelist, who
knows Bonl de Castellane, Is one of the
. many to criticise the extravagance of the
count. The following Is Nordau'a scathing
account of the extravagant expenditure of
' money for an $80,000 fete In Paris and a few
other extravagances;

DENTISTRY
There Is no need of suffering in the dental chair, because It Is
now possible to operate on sensitive teeth without pain. To many
this claim will see incredible, just as the claim made for the Roent
gen ray se,emed incredible when first announced. But ten years
from now dentistry without pain will be the rule in every high-class
dental office. Today I need not tell you It Is not the rule.
This method of mine of filling sensitive teeth painlessly does
not employ any dangerous drug, nor does It cause sleep or benumb
the faculties in any way. I believe It marks as great an advance
In dentistry as ether did In surgery.

"Then there were 600 Oriental rugs, whloh
were strewn In a tasteful pell moll, any

The evening reception was preceded by a
gorgeous fancy dinner of ISO covers which
were served by 115 waiters, twenty-four
powdered house stewards In Castellane,

ing strings, yellow waistcoats and white
knickerbockers, fifty-two other powdered

"Anna Gould's title has cost approxi
mately 12,017 a day. Recently Frank Work,
the New York millionaire, and his daughter
had a dispute that led Mrs. Roche to leave
his home because for a time she spent about
$330 a day, one-sixth of the dally expendi
tures of the count. Furthermore, Frank
Work permitted his daughter's extrava
gances for only a few weeks, while George
Gould's titled brother-in-law has hammered
away until ho has made the record of $9,000,
000 for the eleven years of married life.
"The count has smilingly spent $4 for a
cherry and cheerfully given enough to pay
the bonded Indebtedness of a small city
for a piece of bric-a-brac. One of his
little foibles was a vaudeville perform
ance, given tit Auteull, when, for 350
guests, he presented an all-star bill, no
act of which cost him less than 1500.
"Eclipse! That has been the one Idea of
the count from the moment he got his
hands on the Gould fortune. He waited
for others to give fetes or to buy Jewels
or antiques only that he might eclipse
them, and generally he was successful.
He has lived to hear his praises sung and
the countess paid the cost.
, Millions for n Palace.
"For his world famous mansion on the
Avenue Bols de Boulogne, known as the
Red palace, Bonl spent more money than
he can ever accurately tell. He liked th
location so well that he paid $740,000 for
the land alone and before he got through
he had produced a palace that any king
in Europe might envy.
"He was told when he started to dupli
cate the Historical Trianon at Versailles, in
which Mme. Pompadour once lived, that
It was going to cost tremendously, but he
smiled and showed his bank book, and
for spite planned to spend an additional
million In furnishing the place. On of
the details of the place Is a set of fountains
built In the garden which be could run for
ten minutes at the trifling cost of $1,000.
"At another .time he got the Idea that
modern dress was all wrong and that It
only required a daring Individual to revive
the style of past centuries. Toward the
end he gave a flower ball and all men ap
peared In costume of the Louis XVII
period. The bill was $126,000. . :
"In 1900, five year after th marriage,
the Goulds found' out that the count was
sadly In debt. Just how many millions
could not be determined, but It was esti
mated that he had spent $7,000,000 In that
time, and an adjustment was necessary.
Just to show that he wanted to pay, he
sold at auction the ancestral Castellane
estate, the Chateau du Marals, but this
sale netted only a drop for the waiting
bucket. Then the count called on the
Goulds again and they helped him out.
"Meanwhile, claim aggregating $4,000,000
were lumped by his creditors, and Anton
Dlttmar, as assignee of Ascher Werthel-
mer, a London art dealer, began an action
for payment, calling on the supreme court
In this city to prevent the payment of any
more money from the Oould trust fund to
the Countess until the claims were paid.
After the bitterest kind of litigation an ar
rangement was made whereby all of the
debts were acknowledged and yearly pay
ments with 4 per cent interest were begun,
while the Income of the countess was cut
down to $200 000 a year. The count moaned,
but he had to stand It.

STRANGE STORY OF CONNERS
Mind of Survivor ot Valencia Disaster
Evidently Affected by Awful
Experiences.
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 10. Testimony
offered today by Frank B. Conners, a sur
vivor of the wrecked steamship Valencia,
before the marine Inspectors became so
strange at times, interspersed with mixed
contradictory statements on points testi
fied to by other witnesses, that It Is
feared the awful experience Incident to the
disaster and the subsequent suffering has
so affected Conners' mind that he cannot
remember distinctly.
While festlfying regarding his actions
during the time when the vessel was
lying on the rocks and after the boats
had been sent away early Tuesday morn
ing. In reply to a query as to how he
came to be aboard the life raft, Conners
stated that he was thrown to th deck
of the Valencia as a result of the main
top mast being carried away and on strik
ing the deck a big sea that swept the
deck carried him over the side onto the
raft.
The witness said that Captain Johnson
told those on the vessel to get aboard the
rafts. He stated that he saw the master
wave his arms and shout to those on the
vessel deck to get aboard his raft
The passengers refused to go and hung
back, thus corroborating other testimony
previously Introduced showing that the
passengers apparently preferred to remain
on the vessel rather than to trust them
selves to the mercy of the wind and sea.
Mr. Conners remembered a ship coming
in very near the Valencia on the morning
after it struck, which Is thought to be the
steamer Edith, so nearly wrecked an hour
after the Valencia went on the rocks.
This was supposed to have happened be
tween the hours of 12 and 2 o'clock, Janu
ary 23. Captain Croskey of the steamer
Edith, on arriving in port Wednesday, Jan
uary 24, reported that be had nearly been
wrecked.

sale and Retail Lines.
A combination of circumstances made the
last week a remarkably good one In Omaha
trade circles. In the nrst place, prices were
firm, collections good, demand unusually
heavy. The spring buyers' excursion, tne
Shorthorn breeders' and lumber men s con
ventions brought such crowds to the city
that every hotel of any consequence was
put to it in the accommodation of Its
guests. Wednesday the climax was
reached. While trade was particularly
strong, mall orders came in In large num
bers. Omaha retailers and wholesalers are
reaping generous results of these trade ex
cursions. Country buyers are prompt to
take advantage of them and they come In
Increasing numbers from time to time.
The enterprise is proving more and more
a aa.su clous move on the part of the busi
ness men.
In dry goods last week trade was good.
Jobbers had no spare time in tilling ad
vance orders, house trade was tine and
traveling salesmen increased their busi
ness. The floor trade was augmented by
the presence of tiie large numuer of dele
gates to the conventions. Cotton goods
were In strong demand and some difficulty
was experienced In getting orders tilled by
the manufacturers. The sale ot American
prints has not been checked by the advance
of half a cent made a short time ago.
Preparations for fall goods, even, are ex
tensive. Inquiries from dealers are com
ing in already. The new Drlces on cotton
blankets will be from 16 to 26 per cent higher
than last year s on various classes ot
goods. Canton flannel, dometts and mottled
flannels also, have been advanced from 15
to 20 per cent. Collections are good.
Groceries Generally Good.
k
The general condition of groceries was
good, tnougn the price of sugar raws was
quite weak. No change, however, has oc
curred In refined. As the canning season
drew near jobbers anticipated a reduction
and then an advance, but it has not yet
transpired, ine only prediction they win
now make Is that if the reliners can con
trol the market as at present the subse
quent Increased demand will cause an ad
vance without the preliminary decline.
Though wheat has gone up some In price,
flour has not yet undergone any change.
Coffee also is unchanged. A better demand
for salt fish was apparent, and with the
approach of Lent the demand for dried va
rieties has been stimulated. A slight ad
vance In prices Is anticipated soon.
The last week has been a quiet one in
the canned goods line and yet a liberal
quantity of goods has moved out. There
has been considerable doing In the way of
spot corn, and some heavy purchases were
made by houses along the river, hut pre
sumably for their needs. The feeling Is
pretty well established that corn is about
as low as It can possibly go, and that h
usual active demand or the spring montns
can reasonably be expected to put the
prices on a higher level than they ara
today.
No change has occurred In tomatoes,
either on spot or for future. The operators
say In the east It Is difficult to get con
tracts on a satisfactory basis, the grower
demanding from $1 to . per ton more tnan
they recolved last season. Dealers are In
clined to think, however, that with anv
kind of a good crop the amount of toma
toes packed this year will exceed anything
for a long time. Canners are very apt to
go to extremes In packing, arid a there
has been a good margin of profit in toma
toes this last season for the man who did
not sell early, the chalices are that many
ot the canners will pack, but not offer
until later in the season. The Impression
Is the first prices will be the best, and the
canner who sells at the opening price will
get the very best price of the season.
Canned peas are getting very well cleaned
up. Gallon goods of all kinds are In very
strong position, with not a single excep
tion. Canned pumpkin baa been advanced
on the eastern market.
Dried Fruits Strong.
Dried fruits are now moving very rapidly
and yet there Is a good, healthy demand
for this season of the year, yuite a num
ber of sales has been made to the jobbers
at the recent advance of Ho on cost price,
and there Is every Indication that further
advance will take place In the near fu
ture. .
Prune are becoming stronger, and with
th very small amount of stock available,
higher prices can be looked for on these
goods.
Evaporated apples have again taken a
chance for the better and all stock is now
more firmly held In the east. There are
very few black raspberries obtainable any
where. Under active demand they have
been advanced lc per pound during the
laFt two weak.
Business In drugs and chemicals is brisk
and prices advancing on many articles.
Camphor $1 and likely to go higher.
Quinine up lo and will probably advance
again. Rock candy syrup schedule, 62c In
barrels; half barrels, &4c for staple brands,
all subject to advance If sugar goes up.
Outside brands 5oo to 62c. Oil pennyroyal.

a gallon. Wood alcohol firm at 75c. Ar
senic very high at 8c In kegs. New sched
ule for Paris green not announced, but will
probably be about 15c for kegs.
v'nnusaal Stability la Paper.
An unusual stability was noticed In the
paper trade during the last woek. Buying
was steady, though no special flurry was
noticed In the market. Dealers generally
were quite eatistled with the week's re
sults, they believing a steady market In
dicative of good things in their particular
branch of trade.
The conditions prevailing In the hide
market had a preemptible effect in prices
quoted on boots and shoes, a slight aAvanoe
being noted on quotations on footwear.
Inasmuch as most of the spring orders
have been placed and, in moat Instances,
deliveries made, the effect on the market
was not so much after all. The trade
in general was good.
The week was something of an off one
in the hardware trade, the advent of
spring being awaited by the Jobbers, who
will then stock up with more goods. No
changes in quotations were recorded during
the week. The dissolution ot the American
Axe company did not affect the trade.
The situation was good during the week
in paints, oils and glass, the trade being
exceptionally good. Turpentine went to
7$, with a rather weak market, but 'oil
and lead remained the same at the week
before. There appeared to be no disposi
tion on the part of the gloss manufac
turers to cut prices on glass, the- better
class of makers being reported as having
sold ahead on their output. Demands
for plate glass were strong. . ,
