rlitous living, he nan surpassed Lticullus,
Who "ct one merit devoured n whole es
tate." Juvenal did not Intend thin allusion to a
trbole, estate to tie taken literally. In the
cane of the French count who married
Anna Oould the estate to be, devoured
was a very lirne one. but the nobleman
inn (In a Rood fluht. and If he filled to cause
It to disappear nt a single little supper
H was because he lacked the necessary
Invention. The French count was too
ftiuch of a gentleman to nsk the price or
to qupstlon a bill. Hence he acquired for
bagatelle of Jff'.nfio a few paintings ap
praised at about $Ti" and a pair of candle
sticks for I1S.WH), which connoisseurs aver
re Imitation and perhaps worth about
no one-thousandth of the price. Anybody
would be g'.ad to do business with such
a gentleman, even If he did have to send a
Collector for the money.
The fact Is the count Is typical of a very
Bumerous clas of persons who have no
adequate conception of the value of money.
JTe appears to have Imagined that the
Oould millions bred like rabbits and that
one lifetime was entirely too short a period
In which single-handed the most energetic
and determined spendthrift could throw
hem away.
Controlled Wife's Income.
Althoueh the late Jay Gould Is credited
with havins leTt an estate of $7"i OW.cro In
rapidly Increasing Investments, the dowry
Anna Oould brought to the French noble
man was only M.iW.ooO. This was regarded
as ample, considering the fact that .It was
practically M.oro.(viO nmte than the count
was accustomed to enjoy, fnder the French
law tlie huslmrd "lias full control over the
Income of his wife, so that at a stroke of
the ren the poor count had millions to
rend.
. Appreciating bis own weakness, he
guarded the countess against acquiring bin
habit by limiting her to from JfiO to $S0 a
month. This prevented lur from buying
cheap paintings at fabulous prices and In
culcated a model spirit of frugality. As for
himself, the count lost about $J5,000 a day
during the racing season. After the first
day or two the ordinary man would have
become suspicious of "straight tips" and
"sure things," but Bonl appears to have
been too much of a gentleman to have ever
harbored a suspicion against any person
either at T-ongehamps or In the picture
dee.ler's gallety.
Wlt!nm does not appear to have guided
any expenditure of which the count has
been guilty. He put his wife's whole dowry
Into a town h.mse In Paris, modeled after
the Utile Trianon. Then there Is a country
house which cost another half million. A
yacht cost J?(0.0(0, and a yncht cannot be
kept In commission for nothing, nor a crew -paid
with "I. O. U.'s" His attempt to be
come a politician cost another IW.'JCO.
Rut the enumeration of his follies Is by
no-means concluded. Bonl Is fond of enter
taining. Most of tho entertaining was of a
character responsible for. leading him Into
court as a defendant In a suit for divorce.
Tet It was not at all equal to the extrav
agant way In which he provided entertain
ment for royal guests. He gave a bear hunt
for the Grand puke Boris of Russia, This
cost Bonl IWO.fOO. The duke could have
irlven a better one In Russia for one-twin-tleth
the sum. A hunting party for the.
king of Portugal cost enly $:6,VK), for his
majesty is very stout, and his activity as
a hunter Is limited to shooting at released
trapped birds or freed deer. The luncheon
which followed was responsible for so large
an expenditure.
TSo Kilrntaitaner Too firnit.
Vo extravagance was too stupendous or
too astonishing to be neglected by Count
Bonl once he had conceived the Idea for an
entertainment. His dinner to the kin of
Portugal made him famous. Not only was
it carrlid out with a mngriflcent disregard
for cost, but It was one of those compb te
and perfect entertainments where every
guest feels tbat an artist Is In command.
It was cheap, too. According to various re
ports It ran the count only about In
debt, although It Is reported that a f6)K)
cloch was added to the Little Trianon de
Castellanc In crder to provide the sensa
tlcnnl feature and give a regal rest to the
dinner.
The fll.CCO fur coat which the count pur
chased Is r.ot perhaps to be credited to the
acccunt of the bear hunt which the Croesus
gave for a Russian grand duke. Opinions
differ as to whether the hunt was the ex
cut for adding a fur coat to his wardrobe,
or vice versa, thus giving rise to another
fmrr.etrablo historical mystery. As, fout
th.3 same time, a handsome wardrobe price
HMOo was Introduced Into the count's
apartments, It may be surmised that this
fai t will be seized 'upon as the key to the
mystery by the future chronicler, who will
show conclusively, that the coat was bought
to ornament the costly piece of furniture,
and that the bear hunt waa a mere Incident.
After the Manner of Kln.
Another enteralnment which waa the talk
of "all Paris" was a "little dance, Ixiuls
XVI s.yle." This costume ball waa very
charming, and not too dear at J.W.0O0. A
more modest dance Louis XIV style cost
IITO.MpO. ' Both of these fetes were appropri
ate in the palatial setting which the Cas
tellane mansion afforded. One celling of
the palace, that of the countess' room, waa
decorated nt an expense of lion.000, as an
evidence of the count's gratitude.
When, the other day, the countess' law
yer denounced Bonl as a "monumental
spendthrift," he evidently was well In
formed, for the rapidity with which tho
count showered money and obligations for
more money-has perhaps never been,
equaled.
There Is far more fiction than truth In
the accounts of the royal spendthrifts of
former ntrcs. For Instance, the statement
that Caesar's supper bills for, four months
were more than five millions sterling or
almost 120.0O0.0OO Is probably exaggerated.
Some explanatory notes are needed also
with the anecdote of Antony giving his
cook a town of 35,050 Inhabitants Next
morning, very likely, Antony rebuked him
for falling to take a Joke. But the case
of the Count de Castellanc Is one of those
modern instances which. In a measure, is
open to the Inspection of the world.
An Inerertllle V'nrdrobe.
Jewlery, gorgeous figured waistcoats and
a private theater were the principal ave
rues through which his money disappeared.
He gave $50,000 for a single pearl, and $250,
00) worth of Jewelry was sold during the
bankruptcy proceedings. His wardrobe was
the envy of every dandy. He owned 227
suits, 362 fancy waistcoats, 453 ties, 278
pairs of gloves, 100 overcoats one of fnem
. of sable fur which cost $5,000 1C0 pairs of
pyjafnaa, seventy-three smoking suits,
sixty-one lounge suits but the catalogue la
entirely too long to be followed. The sale
of his effects at the castle occupied several
weeks, and was ngreeably divided. . One
day the sale would be known as the day
of waistcoat poems, another as bathgown
day, and so on.
' At his theater a company of more than
thirty actors appeared for a whole year,
the marquis frequently taking part himself,
for he aspired to honors as an amateur
actor. Supporting so large a force of
theatrical artists for a season made no
small hole In his millions. Marie Tempest
on one occasion was the star, and the cos
tumes were Imported from Paris without
a question as to their cost.
Lrbaadr Expense Larsreat.
Reckless and riotous living and falling
into the company of swindlers were re
sponsible for dissipating the millions of the
late Max Lebaudy. who. Indeed, died of
consumption before all his money, left
him by his father, had gone from him. He
arranged bull fights and private theatricals
on an extravagant scale, kept race horses.
Indulged In every freak which suggested
Itself to him, and gave his money to every
one who asked of his bounty. Two broth
ers survive him, and each keeps his money
on a quick move. One of them fitted out
an expedition for the conquest of the Sa
hara, and for the last three years has
been Jocosely alluded to by European news,
papers as "Jacques I, Emperor of the Sa
hara," for so he styles himself. The other
brother has spent some of his money on
building gigantic airships, and ene of bis
Inventions actually made a record flight.
"foal OH Johnny's" Heror.
America has had Its share of corgeous
spendthrifts. There are so many of them
that only once In a while one distinguishes
himself by some frik -which compels at
tention. The first of the magnificent money
spenders was John W. Steele, sttll living In
Franklin, Ta., and known best as "Coal OH
Johnny." His reign lasted but a few
months, but lit that short period actually
seven months he Is said to have squan
dered $3,000,000.
Coal Oil Johnny waa a youth of 20 when.
In 181, oil waa found on the farm which
hed been bequeathed to him. Had he held
on to his farm he might have today been
one of the envied Standard Oil group, but
ha did not rise to his opportunity. Instead,
he planned how he could cut a dash with
the enormous sum paid him for his prop
erty. '
He began by lining his clothing with
bank notes; he pinned some on his coat; he
gave away notes; he lighted cigars with till
bills: he tipped waiters with $5 or $10 at a
time; he hired the Continental hotel In Phil
adelphia for a day and boarded everybody
free. Another time he had a bathtub filled
with champagne and took a lc.th In the
costly liquid. He backed a minstrel com
pany. Frequently he hired a cab, then he
bought it, and at the end of the day he pre
sented It to the driver. One day his bill at
the Glrard house was $19,000, and there were
days when he spent as much as $K,0nn.
Now he Is "down and out," snd for forty
years has had to pay with hard work for
his seven months of folly.
"Seotty's" llrrnr Way.
Walter Scott, familiarly known as
"Scotty," blows Into the effete east now
and then on a special train, -and proceeds
to enjoy himself In a bizarre manner.
Scotty is the owner of a mysterious gold
mine In Death Valley, and cautiously brings
its products east In $5,000 parcels at a time.
Recently he waa starring In a play written
around his adventures, and at the same
time acting aa "angel" for the enterprise.
The amount of Scotty's wealth has never
been disclosed, but, as he showers his gold
on bellboys, messengers, waiters, and hires
special trains to run across the continent
and break records, it Is probably consider
able. However, Scotty Is not very com
municative. He drawls, when put to It,
that "perhaps he has a mine and perhaps
be hasn't."
Most of the money spenders make their
most telling displays at unique entertain
ments. Many of the dinners and suppers
given with novel surroundings cost large
sums of money. In one way or another. For
Instance, one eccentric young ludy of for
tune gave a barnyard dinner In a stable.
Pigs, goes and hens disported themselves in
perfect freedom around the tablo, seriously
impeding the cfTorts of the waiters In New
York a Venetian dinner was served at a
large hotel. In which, as near as possible,
the picturesque atmosphere of the Grand
Canal was presented, even to the Introduc
tion of gondolas, with their gondoliers.

F
lOR all the good that he will ac-
complish, the representative of
the Jamestown exposition who
went abroad to try to Induce
either Oxford or Cambridge, which
ever crew wina next annual race between
these two, to come to this country next
tills to be the case not only this year, but
for many seasons past, that It seriously
protests against letting either Harvard or
Vde pose aa the American rowing cham
Im. If the management of the Jaiuea
tOArn regatta wants to do the popular thing
it will strain every effort to bring together
year to row against the winner of either all the American college crews In one big
the Havard-Yale race at New London or
the intercollegiate regatta at Poughkeepsle,
ifiight as well have stayed at home, ac
cording to a correspondent to the Washing
ton Star. The management of the expo
sition by its action dhows a lamentable
ignorance of the attitude or the English
toward the American oarsmen and likewise
a deep ignorance of the temper of tho oars
men who row annually at Poughkeepslti
and Now London.
Any proposition which alma to arrange a
race for the "International college cham
pionship," to be decided between the win
ner of the Harvard-Yale race and the Oxford-Cambridge
meet, will simply meet with
a frost. The American public does not
recognize either Harvard or Yale as the
best exponents of Its rowing prowess.
Judged solely on the work they did laat
spring, it is safe to say that the Harvard
eight, which beat Yale for the first time
in years, would not have finished a bit
bitter than a fourth at Poughkccpale liu.d
It competed there. The Cornell eight sim
ply ran away from Harvard In their duul
race at Cambridge over a two-mile course,
and us both Pennsylvania and Syracuse
give Cornell a desperate struggle over the
entire Poughkeepsie course of four miles,
not two lengths separating the first and
third crews, it la fair to assume that both
Yale and Harvard, had they ventured to
row at Poughkeepsie, would have been far
back in the ruck with Wisconsin and Co
lumbia. It Is because the American public knows
re.uarta to determine the winner of the
Axierican Intercollegiate championship. And
thiin If the British champion eight carea to
venture to this side of the water It can
race the winner for the International col
1uk championship.
The possibility of the English collegians
accepting an Invitation to row any sort
of a crew from this aide of the water over
an American course is too remote to be
sareiously considered. When the matter
waa broached to the Britons last summer
on the occasion of the visit of the Har
vard crew to the other alda the Englishmen
made It appear that such a trip as that
tnJten by Harvard would muke proftssion
ali of the Britons. This was nothing more
"' less than a flimsy excuse, on the part
of the Britons, who would be afraid to rbik
their rowing prowess in a race with an
American, crew under equal conditions.
Americans are beginning to realize that
tliwy can never expect to win when com
pering ugalnst the Er.gllsh on their own
ciarses. Even If all other things had been
ecr.:al, the Thames course from Putney to
Mo-tlake Itself would have been enough to
d.jfoat Harvard. But when to this Is added
the climatic handicaps, one can see how
impossible it is to win abroad. And if an
American crew can't win abroad and tho
English will not meet us on fair terms, it
1b apparent that we should abandon all
plans or hopes of getting the Britons to row
where It Is a waste of valuable time and
traveling expenses. '
They call Eddy Stanard the "Jersey Buf
falo" this season. With his 230 pounds or
hard flesh and galvanized bone he Is the
king of Princeton's wonderful line of
tackles. Going strong In the preliminary
work, he is called upon by his followers
to fulfill the prediction made by Walter
Camp two years ago that Stanard had
the making of the greatest tackle the grid
Iron has ever aeen. Very few followers
of piRskln dope have forgotten the game
the "Jersey Buffalo" put on the orange
and black eleven two years ago, when he
was a tower of strength on the Tigers'
line.
George Sutton, the 18.2 champion, and
Willie Hoppe, the 18.1 champion and chal
lenger of Sutton's honors, will cross cues
In New York about December 12. If Hoppe
should win he will be the undisputed cham
pion at 18.1, 18.2 and of France, having won
over Maurice Vlgnaux last winter. Yet
old-time players look for Sutton to show
his heela to Willie that night in the con
test. The two games are greatly different
and Sutton has always stuck to the 18.2
style. The conditions which govern the
championship emblem require that the
game be played within sixty days after
the challenge, and the time expiration
after Hoppe
December 19.
threw down the gauntlet la
Following the English custom, the women
lawn tennis players of this country will bo
ranked this year for the first time. Mrs.
Barger-Wal'ach, who was runnerup to Miss
Helen Homans in the national champion
ship, has aided the committee in Its en
deavor to give the women a rating. Mrs.
Barger-Wallach has been In correspondence
with A. L. Hopkins, the chairman of the
ranking committee. It is said the plan
for the ranking this year is to give the
places and allot the handicaps according
to the performances of the women In the
three most Important tournaments of the
season. The meetings that were selected
were the national championship a Phila
delphia, the Ixingwood open tournament at
Boston and the trl-state ehamplomhlp at
Cincinnati. The majority of '.he ir.ol fa
mous women players of this country con
tested for the trophies In these tourna
ments, so that for a beginning the asso
ciates of Chairman Hoskins, R. C. Carle
ton of the Crescent AW'letlc club and Rob
ert M. Niles of the Orange Lawn Tennis
club, believed that a fair rating could be
made.
In outlining her sefectlons for the lead
ing places, Mrs. Barger-Wallach said 'hat
Miss May Sutton, ex-national chamolon
of the United States and England, Ftood
first on her list. Miss Helen Homans of
the West Side Lawn Tennis club, winner
of the national championship this season,
she placed second. For third plae Mrs.
Barger-Wallach favored Miss Florence But.
ton, a sister of Miss May Sutton, while
the fourth place would fall to either Miss
Evelyn Sears of Boston or herself, accord
ing to the record of several scores. This
would fill tho honor llt of the first five,
while close up with them would come MIfs
C. D. Neely of Chicago, Mias Coffin of
Staten Island and others. It was ex
plained to Mrs. Barger-Wallach that the
national champion had always been placed
first In tho ranking of the men, hich
would give that post to Miss Hona.ns,
and that her own record of runnerup to
the national champion and her victory In
winning the Longwood cup, together with
her play at Newport on the Casino courts,
entitled her to second plnce. The only
victory scored by Miss May Sutton was
that In the trl-state. In former years
the committee had taken no account of
the work of the players on foreign courts,
so that Miss May Sutton was likely to
go unranked or get third place. Such was
the placing of experts, with Miss 9iars
fourth and Miss Florence Sutton fifth.
