ji What Did Count Castellane Do With the Half of it He Didn't Bring Home? *\ 1
Paris Special to the New York Journal. (
New Year's day Count Boni de Cas- i
tellane, the husband of Anna Gould,
brought home to his wife a superb i
necklace of diamonds, a row of blazing <
lights with loops and three diamond -
-pendants the shape and almost the ]
size of small pears. A week later <
came the bill from the Castellane' jew- |
eler, in the Rue de la Paix, for 500,000
francs ($100,000) in Jay Gould's money.
But how were they going to pay such
an enormous bill when their great pal- i
ace on the Avenue dv Bois de Bou- <
logne, in Paris, was still unfinished i
for lack Qt cash, and a tremendous sum •
of money had just been put up for the
lease and refitting of the chateau of 1
the Noailles? *
This diamond necklace of the Count- i
iess de Castellane bids fair as an end
of-the-century romance and a scandal i
to rank with "the queen's diamond
necklace" at the end of the last cen
tury — "Le collier de la reine," immor
talized by Dumas.
This incident is the culmination of a i
long series of others, which make the
little Count de Castellane and his wife,
formerly Anna Gould, the most con
spicuous objects of public curiosity in
Paris.
When the Count and Countess de
Castellane returned last Autumn from
their chateau in Normandy they took
up iheir residence temporarily in a i
fp.nious hotel of the Place Vendome. i
All who are familiar with Paris know
this hotel as the favorite stopping place i
of European royalties and American
millionaires.
Here the count began a life of revelry
which astounded even the blase society
cf Paris and those who were familiar
with his earlier career. The days were
passed with luncheons, dinners and re
ceptions in which polite society partici
pated. After Madame la Comtesse had
retired, her husband entertained hi 3
Bohemian friends until far into the
night. Their songs and joyous dis
course disturbed the royal and other -
distinguished parsons in the hotel,
among whom were some of the Spanish
peace commissioners.
A fair but frail divinity of the music
halls, whom the count had greatly ad
mired In his bachelor days, moved into
a quiet corner of the hotel. Perhaps
the long-suffering daughter of Jay
Gould became restive at this point. It
s reported that there were acrimonious
passages between her *and her hus
band. At any rate, the count decided
to make a touching display of conjugal
devotion and generosity. The version*-
of this incident given here has been
freely aired in Parisian society. He
went to the best known jeweller in
Paris and ordered a superb diamond
necklace. This he laid at the feet of
his wife, who was much moved.
A few days later she happened to see
the jeweler's bill, from which she learn
ed that her husband's present would
erst 500,000 francs— sloo,ooo.
It Is hardly necessary to explain that
as the count has no money of his own
"IHE ST. HUL GLOBIS- SUNDAY- — FEBRUARY 26, 1899.
bis generosity must in any case fall ul- (
timately upon his wife. ■
The sum of $100,000, added to the im
mense outlay they were making on,
their palace of the Avenue dv Bois de' '
Bologne and other extravagances of the '
count, alarmed her. It was a beautiful j
necklace, but they could not afford it, <
and, besides, the price seemed enor- <
mous.
With true American decision and i
brusqueness, it is related, she jumped •
Into a carriage and went to the jew
eler's.
"I want you to take this back," slie >
said. I believe you have taken advan
tage of M. de Castelane's liberality and !
have made him pay far too much." i
The jeweler looked pensively at the
beautiful riveiere, but said nothing. i
"Well," said Mme. de Castellane,
"what have you to say? I do not think !
that my husband will pay that for some i
time to come; as for myself "
"Madame," interrupted the jeweler, i
"allow me to inform you that this is
the affair of M. le Comte exclusively.
I should be happy to take back the
necklace, but I know that he would be
seriously displeased. He made you a :
present of this necklace. The less I i
say on the subject the better."
Somewhat irritated, the countess 1
drove away. Following another Ameri- *
can instinct, however, she went to a
second jeweler, whom she knew. She 1
asked him for his opinion of the value i
of the necklace, and he told her that
It was not worth more than 250,000 1
"ranes. Then she returned promptly to
the first jeweler and said to him point
blank:
"You have cheated my husband! You
have charged him 500,000 franca for a
necklace worth only 250,000 francs."
In fear of losing his reputation for
honesty the jeweler lost all discre
tion.
"Madame," he exclaimed, "you would
be right, but, you see, you have only
me-half the necklace. It had four rows
when I sold it for 500,000 francs."
There was so much talk about this
necklace, the nocturnal revelries and
cognate matters that the count and
countess moved out of .-the hotel into
their unfinished palace of the Avenue
3u Boir de Boulogne. A manced recon
ciliation took place between the count
and countess. He- wa3 untiring in his
attentions to her, and drove constantly
and ostentatiously" with "her In the Bois
de Boulogne. Those *who observed
were inclined to think that the gentle
man did protest tpo much.
The episode of the diamond necklace
Is one of others that reflect unpleas
antly on De Castellane'S character. It
has been charged* that fie has repeat
edly entered Into, arrangements with
tradesmen and others doing work for
his wife whereby lie has pocketed half
or some other part of' the amount
charged to her. He hats applied this
system to building opei&tions and the
purchase of pictures, jewelry, furni
ture and so forth. ' The count declares
that he has enemies who set these re
ports In circulation. This may be true,
but where there is so much smoke one
suspects some fire.
There is little doubt that De Castel
lane. by his extravagances, has dissi
pated a large part of the $15,000,000
which belonged to-Jay Gould's daugh
ter. He inaugurated his career by
a great al fresco fete in the Bois de
Boulogne, at which there were 300
liveried servants and 300 guests. A
palace was erected for a night's enter
tainment.
Then he began to build a palace in
imitation of the Grand Trianon at Ver
sailles. De Castellane's palace is at
the corner of the Avenue dv Bois de
Boulogne and the Avenue Malakoff.
The site alone cost 4,700,000 francs. It
extends 250 feet on one avenue and 120
feet on the other. Its cost before It
swas nearly completed was $3,000,000.
It will cost $5,000,000 to perfect It.
To furnish interior decorations for a
theater attached to his house, De Cas
tellane tore up a palace In Verona and
removed from its ceilings a magnificent
f-eries of paintings by Tlepolo. The re
production of the Trianon Is at present
far from complete, and It Is understood
that there are excellent financial rea
sons for this.
De Castellane has now gathered for
himself n fine crop of enemies In
Prance, social, political ami journalis
tic. He was elected a deputy from
the town of Castellane last year. To
achieve this end he spent the Gould
millions freely. The Radicals end So
cialists shrieked that the French de
mocracy was being "corrupted with
American gold.
Later, when De Castellane was oc
cupying a house In the Faubourg St.
Germain, one of his servants threw
her stillborn infant into a neighbor's
yard. Henri Turot, a writer in the
Petite Republique Francalse, a Socialist
organ, charged that the woman was
driven to this horrible act by the cruel
ty of De Castellane.
The little count called Turot out and
wounded him severely, although the
journalist was a burly ruffian. The
Vicomte de Royer, a nobleman of au
thentic lineage, undertook to prove that
the Castellanes were not noble at all.
He said that they were a common fam
ily at Toulouse, who, without any au
thority or blood relationship, had
usurped the titles of the ancient but ex-
tinct Castellane family of Provence. Ac
cording to M. de'Royer, Anna Gould's
husband is nothing but a Toulouse Cas
tellane, not even entitled to put "de"
before his name.
During all the notoriety which has
been showered upon the Castellanes
the public acts of the countess have
been only commendable. She gave $200,
--000 to build a mansion to be called the
Hotel de la Charite, and to be used as a
center of organization for charitable
work. It will avert such a catastrophe
as that of the Bazar de la Charite.
As the historical affair of the queen's
diamond necklace has been referred to
here, it may be well to remind rusty
memories of the facts of it. The Car
dinal Prince Louis de Rohan was in ill
favor at the court of Louis XVI. The
wicked Countess de Lamotte suggested
to him that there was a splendid neck
lace which Queen Marie Antoinette de
sired, and that he might regain royal
favor by presenting^ to her. She hand
ed him forged letters from the queen,
one of which gave him a rendezvous.
The cardinal waited one night in the
park of Versailles until he saw a figure
he took to be the queen's. He knelt
and kissed her hand. Then the count
ess cried, "They are coming!" and the
cardinal had to run. The figure he had
seen was that of a common woman of
the same height and complexion as the
queen.
He bought the necklace for $400,000
and intrusted it to the countess to
give the queen. The countess stole It,
was exposed and convicted, but poor
Marie Antoinette's name was unjustly
smirched. WRen she was afterwards
arrested and guillotined the episode
was freely used against her.
Anna Gould, like Marie Antoinette,
is a victim of the affair of the diamond
necklace, and curiously enough the
family of Count Castellane is directly
connected by blood with that of the
unfortunate and beautiful queen whose
head was cut off by the guillotine dur- "
Ing the Reign of Terror.
