UDOLPH, Count Festetics de Tol- na, must face the uncertaintles of the new century alone. A de- cree of absolute divorce was granted his wife Eila, Countess Festetics de Tolna, by Judge Bahrs yes- terday morning. If married life was called him. She might have been an absolute stranger to him so far as his actions went. When ahq spoke to him he answered, that was all.” Countess’ Health Impaired. In her complaint Countess Festetics stated that in the month of April, 1589, the defendant declared his intention to sail to Colombo, Cey- 1on and other places in the Indian O:ean, thence pleasant to Count Festetics he may bury | his happiness with the ashes of his yacht | he owes what woe the divorce ‘court has brought him to the erstwhile existence of that little vessel. Every ground and cause of action urged by Countess' Festetics has the brand of untruth has been stamped on the pages of Count KFestetics' deposi- tion, wherein he assailed the honor of his wife in defense of his own. Months ago the ashes of the Tolna were swept up by the sea. The pig that lent its odorous presence to the unhappy environ- ment of the Countess aboard the yacht has long been dead, and the cockroaches that infested the cabin were lost with the | ship. The Malay crew that frowned dark on the deck and auded to the Countess’ terror are scattered far, and now the Count has lost his Countess. The last chapter of the cruise of the Tolna has been written and the last link of associa- | tion has passed from the life of the Aus- ! | trian nobleman. He may take an appeal | to the Supreme Court, it Is true, but out | of the mass of testimony introduced in | support of and against the action for di- | vorce Judge Bahrs has taken the salient ts, d the welght of evidence is against the defendant—Count Festetics.

Prior to the month of April, 1888, the health of the Countess had been greatly impaired by her life { upon the yacht and the constant dangers at- | tending the same, and at this time she again ! besought the Count to abandon the yacht and | their mode of living thereon and secure somie place on land convenient and satisfactory to imself, which Le could have done at no greater than that of maintaining a yacht. The | contemplated voyage to Colombo and other lo- calities was fraught with great and unusual dangers and privations and was entirely beyond the strength of the Countess, as she informed the Count at the time he announced his inten- tion, but he refused to comply with her re- quest or to change his plan. The Countess | there told the Count that it was impossible for her to live moy longer upon the yacht, These allegations I find are sustained by the evidence in the se, many of them being supported by | the Count Fimself. Count’s Charges Are False. As to Count Festetics’' allegations re- garding Countess Festetics' ‘“big_flirta- tion” with one Remington of the British ship Immortalite, the court says: 1 can state that in my opinion this affair with Remington appears to me to be a studied effort on the part of the Count to maliciously magnify 2 very natural occurrence into some act of im- propriety on the part of the Countess. Bven the Count's version of the affair makes it savor more of uncalled for jealousy than a transgres- sion on the part of the Countess. After giving T T T L T T e T T T e e T T R T T et v eeds and says: When my wife came down below I told her me as you know before our marriage, tha million_ francs, then 1 ing and live on shore. . 8 ,can give up the yacht- It appears, therefore, that the Count up to the 20th day of April, 1899, mever offered the | Countess any home or other place of abode | other than the yacht. His testimony justifies the conclusion that he did not intend to do so in the future, and it is not claimed by him on land since the date mentloned. Conclusions of the Court. The court has no hesitation i concluding that the yacht and the mode of living thereon was grossly unfit for the Countess as a _home and place of abode, and that she could not live as he elected to live without great risk to and im- pairment of her health, and without being sub- Jected to extraordinary dangers and privations. On April 20, 1589, the Count sailed away on his yacht for Colombo and left Countess Fes- tetics at Singapore without money or means of subsistence other than that which had been transmitted to her by her parents. Since April | for her maintenance and support. From Countess’ Festitics letters to her hus- band and mother it appears that she never had any Intention of deserting the Count, as they were couched in terms of endearment and af- | fection, and hint at some future prospect of | reunion, but Count Festitics' letters became cold and formal.

It is the sense of the Elec- tors that the honor should be accorded to him, and he has signified a willinrgness ‘o visit the national capital on a mission of this character. No aoubt the President will be giad to see Mr. Shortridge and de- lighted to receive the beautiful ballot box. It goes without saying that Senators Perkins and Bard will extend to the gifted orator and trusted messenger the glad hand of friendship. It is true that Mr. Shortridge aspires to public service in the United States Senate, standing ready to relieve Senator Perkins of official responsibility, but this aspiration will not dull the edge of cordiality when the Sen- ators and the aspirant meet. Californians are pleased to recall an in- cident which occurred at S8acramento four years ago, when Perkins and Shortridge were cendidates before the Legislature for the honor of serving in the United States Senate. In that contest the orator was vanquished, but he did not sulk or threaten to be revi the contrary, he dispatched a message of congratula- tion to the victor, and received in reply assurance of Senator Perkins' highest consideration.
