WHAT IS BROMONIA ?
Read the following carefully: If
you have consumption or some of the
contagious forms of, blood poisoning
we cannot cure you. We don't pre
tend to cure you. You need the indi
vidual treatment of . some skilled spe
cialist; but if you are Tun down in gen
eral health, if you have dyspepsia, are
subject to fainting spells, a victim to
in; omnia, biliousness, kidney , or liver
trouble, catch cold easily, if your sys
tem is in that condition that you may
bocome an easy prey to the . disease
germs- of pneumonia, la grippe and the
various epidemics, if you are bothered
with constant headache, loss of mem
ory, generally impaired vitality, 1 we
can help you, and, if you follow our di
rections, render you immune against
sickness. Most skin disease can be
cured by the use of "Bromonia."
"Bromonia" is to the 'human sys
tem what the scrubbing brush and

aids Nature tc resume normal action.
It increases the strength, the fighting

COUNT BONI COST s
JUST $2019 A DAY
IN THE ELEVEN YEARS OF THEIR
MARRI ED-; LIFE AN N A GOULD'S
FRENCH COUNT HAS COST HER
O V E rUfrj&WQO SOM E D ET A I LS.
Paris, Feb. 8. Even if. Count Boni
de Castellaine affects a reconciliation
vith the Countess his income will be
so cut down . as to practically ; extin
guish one of the greatest spenders that
even prodigal Paris has ever known. .
Of all the Anierican investments in
Old .World titles Anna .Gould's has
probably been the most costly.
Reduced to cold figures, the price
of her title has ' been ' approximately
$2,017 each and every day for the elev
en years they have been married, or
the equivalent every four weeks of
President Roosevelt's salary for a
year. c "-. j '
. Recently Frank Work, the New York
millionaire and bis daughter had a dis
pute that led Mrs. Roche to leave his
home because for a time she spent
about $350 a day, Gne-sixth of the
daily expenditures of the Count. Fur
thermore, Mr. Work permitted his
daughter's "extravagance for only a
few weeks, while George Gould's titled
brother-in-law, has hammered away
until he has made the record of $9,
000,000 ; for the , eleven ' years of his
married life.- . ..;
' ,; .. Gives $4 for a Cherry. ' ,
The Count has smilingly spent $4 for
a cherry andv cheerfully - given enough
to pay the bonded indebtedness of a
small city for a piece of bric-a-brac.
He has made for himself a reputation
as a spender that caused the famous
literary men of this and other capitals
to . write about him, and he has in
flamed the Parisian populace more
than oncesoYthat'- he has to placate
the city; by great giftrta'carity.f ;
One of his little foibles was a vaude
ville performance . given at Auteuil
when for 350 guests he presented an
all 'star bill, no act of which cost him
less than $500. .
" EclipsS! That has been the one idea
of-the Count from the moment he got
his hands on the Gould fortune. He
waited .for others to give fetes or to
buy jewels or antiques only that he
might eclipse them ,and generally he
has succeeded. He has lived to hear
hi praises5 sung, and the Countess
paid the cost. .
For his world-famed mansion on the
AvenueiBois de Boulougne, known as
the "Redi: Palace' ;:Bqni spent more
money than ;:iie' catv ever accurately
tell. He liked the location so well that
f he- paid J740.000 for the land alone,
and before he. ot.: through he had pro
duced a palace that"any king in Europe
might envy:
He was told when he started to du
plicate the historical Trianon at Ver
sailles in which: Mme. Pompadour once
liy,ed, that it was going to cost tre
mendously, but he smiled and showed
hi$
pend an additional million in fur-
topend
nishing the place.
r One of the . details of the palace is
,a setijof fountains built in the garden
which" he could run for ten minutes
at the trifling cost of ?1,000. Then he
got the idea that he wanted a yachts
man,; so he bought the yacht Valhalla
for $200,000 and planned to sail her on
a. scale that totalled $150,000 a .year.
Later he had to sell this . toy, but
that's another part", of the story. -.,
: Gives a $200,000 Banquet.
When he was elected to the Cham
ber of. Deputies he felt so good-natured
that he gave a feast that Would, have
made- Lucullus turn green. The. bill
was $.200,000. He seemed to like that
amount, for. it figures frequently in
his accounts. . -
At another time'he got the idea that
modern dress was all wrong and that
it only required a daring individual to
reviy0.the styles of past centuries. To
wardthis end he gave a flower ball
and all : men appearead in the cos
tufnes'of the Louis XVIII. period. Bill
$125,000. But then his ideas were al
ways costly. '.
While his palace was building some
off the lots needed" were occupied and
although it was altogether unnecessary
he impatiently bought; the . inhabited
houses and evicted . the "tenants.That
cost a. pretty sum. . : Vif i
Sorjietimes the Count's methQds.were
what might be questionable and in. the
light M the recent scandal, it is prob-
apie Luai ouij. ui uis: iittte mysienes is
revealed. About six years ago he pre
sented' to his - wife a necklace' thaTTBe
had jxaid $100,000 . for. Anna : Gould
realized how he was draining her for
tufieiand when she looked at the
bajjbfa she"didn'tthink it was" worth
the njQney, so she hurried to the jew
eller. 5 She found that he took a lofty
attStiide anckinsisted that his business
was Ith the" Count,. . t ,.i ' . . r ;
.Yda have cheated ' niy husband,"
she declared hotly, " and yo,u must
'take this bacfe-H- 4. ' ' "'
A TBejt tht secret was let .put. t, The
Jeweller lost ' his temper, and, taking
the necklace in his hand, said angrily :
"If you thnk,.madame,T.have cheat
ed," you are. wrong. When I sold this
necklace t6-M.,Le Camte it had fdjir
rows of 'diamonds. It ,i.as but two rows
now. Can Madame tell me where 'the
other two rows are?"-"-'-.'.'. ' '' - s

diseases for over two years, out kidneys and
lirer bothered me most Some of my worst
ailments were headache, frequent pains
around heart and under right shoulder
blade. My hands and feet were cold nearly
all the time, and 1 had such chilliness be
tween shoulders. Some days cared but little
for food; I lost flesh; felt so tired and mis
erable it seemed I couldn't do any house'
work. Took medicine from my physician,
but received no benefit. Boug-ht a bottle of

One of the greatest extravagances
was the purchase of tae Palazza della
Scala, in Verona that he might get the
eleven ceilings painted ' by Tiepolo.
Scarcely had he written his check for
a gigantic sum to secure the 'palace
when he made the artists of the world
gasp by putting a. force of men at
work tearing it. down. Tiepolo. was a
native Venetian who died in Spain
nearly 150 years ago, and his mural
decorations are of enormous value
The Count had the ceilings cut out ihr
tact and then , set up in his palace,, in
this city. j I : r
For three Caladon vases . with old
French mounts he gave $16,000; for a
set of two Rose . du Barry jardiniers
and two plates of the same pattern
$10,000; and, for two pairs of Louis XV
guilt candlesticks $4,000. One bill he
received for $104,000 covered a Lopis
XVI table in dove marble, a pair of
old Sevres vases, a Louis XVI Entre
Deux, a pair of old French silver
vases and several minor articles.
Another bill for $180,000 represented
among other things a wardrobe cabi-
of the Louis XVI period. Two of his
tracted, one for $85,000 . on May 27,
1896 and, another for $62,200 on June
18, 1897. The Count could show in
numerable bills for $10,000, $20,000 or
$30,000, for the little odds and ends.
For the pleasure of insulting Presi
dent Loubet, he paid $100,000 to en
gage Montjarret, once, the postilion of
the French Republic;: Montjarret be
canie the 'little Count's outrider, sim
ply because Boni didn't like th4 Re
public or the President, and he was
willing . to pay Montjarret's .price. The
outrider had led the ' procession J of
all the French presidents since Grevy,
and he was always cheered when he
appeared at 'the head of the State pro
cession. . - '.
These are some of the things Anna
Gould has, had to pay . for to be a
Countess. Given in detail the list

C eehdanl's Attorneys are Notified
; that U. S. Circuit Court of Ap
I peals ' has Reversed the Deci

Breese Case. . '
f .t;-;- i -;: -:
Special, to The News. : , t. ;
t Asheville, N. .0.,,- Fb. 8. Attorneys
f pr VVilliarii : E".- Breese, who was in
dicted and has been repeatedly tried
lor i alleged eriibezzlement in connec
tion' with the failure of. the First Na:
tional Bank of Asheville, . about nine
years ago, were this afternoon notified
that the United States Circuit Court
cf Appeals at Richmond, has reversed
the decision qf the lower court in this
case, the ground of the decision being
that one cf the grand jurors who in
dicted Breese had not paid his taxes
and therefore was not qualified to sit
on the jury. This, in effect quashes
the bills of indictment against Joseph
E. . Dickerson a director, and W. H.
Penland, cashier of. the f ailed bank, of
which Breese was president, -and it is
the opinion here that this is the end
of this long sensational trial; in -which
the government in its effort to convict
these meri has, according to the state
ment of Bank Examiner Hull, of Ashe
ville, who helped 6 work up the case
against them .expended the sum of at
least $100,000. According to' the state
ment !of lawyers, District Attbrney
Hpltpn is stopped by the statue of limi
tations from further proceedings, and
no further, effort, can be .made to prose
cute; these three men on. this charge. -It
is stated that in every: previous
trial a motion has been made to quash
the indictment on the ground -that the
grand jury was not legally constituted,
and on every occasion this has been
overruled by the judge presiding.
The interest manifested in the mat
ter here this afternoon recalls the in
tense feeling when the banks closed
their doors with a shortage' of hun
dreds of thousands; when, bank ex
perts were put on the case, and when
as a result Messrs. Breese, Dickerson
and ; Penland were indicted for the al
leged embezzlement of $117,000, $80,
000 and $87,000 respectively. - s
: Messrs, vBreese and Dickerson were
brought 'to trial and given ten years
each in the penitentiary, . from which
verdict an appeal was taken; A new
trial was granted by the itAppel late
Court, which was held in Asheville and
resulted in a. mistrial. The case, against
Major Breese. was then brought up in
Charlotte, whither it had been removed
on the ground of local prejudice, and
again a . mistrial was had. At the
fourth and final trial. Major .Breese was
convicted and sentenced tjfti the peni
tentiary for seven years. ;, Dickerson
and Penland were in the meantime out
on : bond pending a . decision r. of the
Breese ease,ft..Dic.kerson,uhaiy4ng j .been
SK
The' case throughout , has been a great
and spectacular legal battle and some
of :trie ablest lawyers . in North Caro
lina have fought for and against these
men. Judge Jeter C. Pritchard was
then United States Senator,, was lead
ing counsel for, Breese, and associated
with ,him were J. D. Murphy, .Charles
A. ;ioore and other counsel. Judge
Pritchard, . however, later., withdrew
from .the case. .t)lgne.djf;J'ct

were Congressman Blackburn and

His band he led, and once more lost
:The meed for which he fought;
And now from battjei: faint and worn
The homeless fugitive forlorn
- A hut's lone shelter sought.
And cheerless was that "resting place
For him who claimed a throne;
His canopy, devoid: of grace, .
The rude rouh beams alone;
The heather couch his Pnly bed
Yet well I ween had slumber fled
From couch of, eiderdown !
Through darkspme, night till dawn of

Absorbed in wakeful thoughts, he lay
Of Scotland and her crown.
The sun rose brightly, and its gleam
Fell on that hapless bed,
And tinged with light each shapeless

When, .looking up with wistful eye,
The : Bruce : beheld a spider try
His finny threaa to fling
rom.beam to beam of that rude cot;
Aid; well the insect's 'toilsome lot'
Taught Scotland's future king.
Six . times the gossamery ' thread
The wary spider threw; " " M
In vain the filmy, line was sped, '

Each aim appeared, and back recoiled.
The. patient insect, six thnes: foiled, .
. And yet uncongured still r '
And soon the Bruce, with eager eye,
Saw him prepare one more to try
, His courage, strength and skill.
One effort more, nls seventh - and

The hero hailed the sign! -And
on the wished-for beam hung fast
That slender silken line!- l
Slight as it was, his spirit, caught
The more than omen, for his thought
- The . lesson well could trace, , '.
Which even "he. who runs. may read,"
That Perseverance gains ; its . meed, ;
And Patience wins the race.
