Escape of Pope Plus TX from Matri.
mOny.

1t is we'll known that the present Pope,
Plus TX, was never married, but it is not
generally known how near he once came to
that blissful state. The Rome corr >spoDd-
ent of the Boston Traveller says mat he
has the documentary proof sud the asser-
ton of the relations OF a certa n Miss Fos.
ter, which reveal the existence of ro-
mantle incident in the early life Of the
Count Ferretti, in days when the world had
more charms for him tb1n the Church.
The reader will remember that it was Just
fifty years ago last April that the present
Pope took the VOWS Of a priest; In 1882, as
Archbishop, he was transferred from Rome
to the Sc of Imola, and made q Cardinal in
1889. The story is as follows:
The world at large does not know that
fifty or sixty years ago he was engaged to
be married to O Miss Foster, the daughter
of an Irish bishop, and the sister of the
Countess de Sails, famous at that time in
Italian society, and that the young lady
and her friend waited at the altar of the
church of st. Luigi de Francesi (near the
present ofice) for Count Mastai Ferretti to
appesr and complete his marriage vows,
and they waited and waited in vain, be-
