THREW HER MONEY AWAY.
Count Castellane Dived Deep Into the Fortune of His Wife. The news that the Gould family has at last been compelled to step in and save what is left of the millions willed to Anna Gould, who five years ago married Count Castellane, has created little sur-
prise in this country, but has occasioned a lot of talk. Tales of extravagance have been coming over the water ever since the marriage. The count expended the fortune of his wife with a recklessness that astonished even Paris.
COUNT CASTELLANE.
Thae cable, in telling of the appointment of George J. Gould as trustee of his sister's money and property, says the order was given upon the request of the Gould family and with the consent of the countess. When it became apparent that something must be done quickly, the Gould family held a council and unanimously decided that, in the interest of the countess and her children, a judicial trustee must be appointed, and George was selected to take the matter in charge. Accordingly application was made, and M. Bonnet appeared in court for the countess. He stated that “the countess herself admits the fact that she has Indulged in extravagant expenditure, and is in need, of having an authoritative
adviser to supply the experience in which she is lacking. She consents to the appointment of a judicial trustee." Maitre Badouin, who presided over the court, immediately upon hearing this statement, appointed George J.
COUNTESS CASTELLANE
Gould trustee. Maitre Bonnet, acting for the Goulds, stated that the Gould family had prayed the elder brother, George, to save their sister, Auna, and her children, from ruin. He stated that Castellane himself was absolutely penniless. Under his guidance the countess had spent $3,000,000 In the. .first four years. ?600,000 more than her income for that period, besides having contracted debts to the amount of nearly $4,500,000. Count Castellane does not take kindly to the restraint on his expenditures. The count will have to go to his American brother-in-law for his pocket money, and he will have to render account to Gould for the money he spends. It is rumored that the Goulds favor a separation.
FROM FOREIGN LANDS.
The most notable event in European polities during the week has been the reorganization of the English ministry. There have been numerous changes, and tord Salisbury has succeeded in pleasing fither his own party nor the opposition. Political considerations seem to have given way to social preferment and personal favoritism. There was popular demand for the retirement of Lord Lansdowne, whose marked incapacity in the conduct of the war office nearly resulted in the break down of the British army system in the recent war. Lord Salisbury answers this demand by promoting Lansdowne to a higher post and by placing one of his own subordinates—almost, it might be said, one of his own clerks—at ’he head of the war department. There has been an equally determined campaign against Mr. Goschen as first lord of the admiralty. Lord Salisbury lets Mr. Goschen go and installs his own son-in-law in the place. Joseph Chamberlain is retained at the head of the colon’ll o*lloo, and the opposition is mollified only by the consolation that his pathway to the premiership has been blocked, if only temporarily. The cabinet, as reconstructed, cannot be called a strong one. The Spanish government during the week has been called upon to deal with what at first seemed to be a formidable revolt of the numerous Carlist bands in the mountain districts north of Barcelona. Troops have been sent into the field, garrisons re-enforced and the frontier guarded to prevent the importation of arms. The rising* however, seems to be local in its character, and there is nothing yet to indicate that Don Carlos himself has given any countenance to it. There will always be discontent in Spain under the present system of government. The Spanish revenues, large as they are, •re eaten up by place holders. The people are poverty stricken and unruly under heavy burdens of taxation. The discontent of the people is only kept in check by a large army, and the army is on a most expensive footing. The Chinese affair seems to be drifting. Few dispatches come from Pekin, and these give little Indication of any progress toward a settlement between China •nd the powers. The alignment of the powers is now complete. Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Italy and Japan universally accept the entire Anglo-German agreement. The United States, France and Russia accept only part of the agreement. Yet the seeming lack of accord Is more apparent than real, and there seenis to be nothing to prevent active negotiations for a settlement. As to the demamls to be made upon China by the powers, there is a singular lack of information. Either the powers have not yet reached an agreement among themselves or their demands are so great that they hesitate to unite them all in one aitlon. Early in the week a rumor was given circulation that Germany was negotiating with Venezuela for the lease of the Island of Margarita, to be used as a coaling station. A fanfare of trumpets was speedily heard from the Washington agency of several American uewspapera •nd the Monroe doctrine held up as a warning signal. The minor was, however, officially denied by the German foreign office and the incident closed. Monarch sine mill, Clinton, Mo., bunted. Loss SIO,OOO.
COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
New York—Trade reports as a ruh continue to tell of hesitation in most of the principal lines of business. Bank clearings are usually regarded as a pretty correct index to the general business situation, particularly in times like the present, when speculation in stocks cuta very little figure in the totals. The axchanges made through the Chicago banka in October were not only the largest shown for any month so far this year, but with a single exception were the beat on record. The tbtal was $607,631,087, which was only about $7,000,000 below the record mark, made in December, 1889. Considering the fact that Decernl- - Is usually the best business month in the year and that the month just closed *wasjojne in which politics all over the country was at fever heat, this showing Is considered a good one. Chicago—Speculative business in grain Sh 4 bog products has been fairly active with prices variable, but generally upward. The advance in wheat was due partly to diminishing domestic receipts, but in larger degree to the news front Argentina of an unfavorable outlook for the growing crop. Had the alleged cause of the damage been other than excessive rain it would doubtless have had more influence with the trade. As none of the reports specified in what way the plant was being injured by rain at a period of its growth when on light soil rain might be considered more of a benefit than a detriment, the entire claim of damage that subsequent favorable weather might not repair was received with skepticism, hence the comparatively minor effect on prices. People In the trade here doubtless will apply their home experience to what is good or bad for the wheat plant of Argentina until they see cause to believe that the conditions of its growth differ from those that govern it In all the other countrieswhere It Is produced. The October pork deal was carried to a successful conclusion, the price of that commodity the last day of the month being S2O a barrel, or $5 higher than Its nominal value at the end of last week.
THAT $700,000 THIEF.
The New York Note Teller, Alvord, Now Under Arrest. The defalcation of Cornell ua L. Alvord, Jr., who appropriated $700,000 of the funds of the First National Bank of New
York, once more illustrates the facility with which the trusted employe of a financial Institution can hoodwink his employers and the national- bank examiners. Alvord was a trusted official. He entered the employ of the First National in 1879, serving until the expoee

of his defalcations as note teller. During this period he held the absolute confidence of the bank president and of the other officials of the institution. In Mount 1 ernon, where be had a permanent home, he was looked up to as a model citizen. He and his wife moved in the most exclusive circles and enter tained with lavishness. No word was ever uttered against the honor and the honesty of the man. And yet this trusted official stole $700,000 of the funds of the bank. His peculations extended over a long period, and though the affairs of the bank were at stated periods examined by national experts no discovery of crookedness was made by them. It remained for an humble employe of the bank to have his suspicions aroused and then came the investigation that resulted In the startling disclosure. “I have played and lost. I’ll take the consequences.” Thus coolly did Alvord take his arrest when he was run down in a lodging house In Boston. Betrayed by two friends for the sake of the $5,000 reward offered by the bank for his capture, Alvord was located.
BELONGED TO THE DEAD.
Thousands Worth of Unclaimed Valuables in Galveston. Only 5 per cent of the money and valuables taken from bodies removed from the wreckage at Galveston has been claimed. The money aggregates several thousand dollars, and there are other valuables to the amount of over SIOO,OOO in jewelry and silverware. Capt. J, B. Alvey, who was appointed by Adjt. Gen. Scurry at the time the city was under martial law to take charge of money and valuables, has kept a complete list of everything turned over to him. The money and other articles have been deposited in a vault awaiting claimant!. Capt. Alvey has on hand more than a carload of all torts of valuables and his stock la Increasing with each day’s work. lfl this lot he has more than a heaping bushel measure of watches, the works, of course, being ruined, though in many instanced the cases are valuable. He has ovei two pecks of all sorts of rings, from the big diamond fellow to a birthday stone and plain silver band. There are big float loads of all sorts of silverware and about three float loads of odds and ends, all of more or less value. He has about two bushels of trinkets, au<*h as breast plna, brooches, bracelets, etc. The money takeo from the pockets has been a tough proposition, as have also many of the rings on account of the atoneh they give out. Oapt. Alvey thinks that after the valuables have been turned over to some State official they should be advertised for a certain period, and thep if there Is no claimant they should be sold.
American Cotton Crop.
The cotton crop of this country amounted to only 5,000,000 pounds in 1793. Last year it was about 5,500,000,000 pounds, representing three-fourths of the entire crop of the wortd and valued at $350,000,000. It filled 9,500,000 bales, and the loss by waste incidental to the process of taking samples was uot less than $7,000,000. ; Although the type of typhoid fever is as severe in England as it ever was, the death rate during the last twenty-five years has been diminished 50 per cent.

When this tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be iaken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are causea by catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Is for women. Mar. 18,1897. “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I have been sick for a long time. I was taken sick with flooding. All my trouble seemed to be In the womb. I ache all the time at the lower part of the womb. The doctor says the womb is covered with ulcers.

I had been in bed for ten weeks when I began taking your Vegetable Compound, but after using it for a short time I was able to be up around the house.
