PRINCE DE MONACO.

Il Famous Dsrorce Case in ROane-The
Duchess of Hamilton Secures a PGpaI
Dissoiastion Of Her Narr{cae.
Rome Gable to the Cincinnati Enquirer
The question still agitates the laity and
Hamilton seeking Papal divorce from her
husband, the Prince de Monaco. 1t is big
and broad question, brought to the very
threshold of the church in its capital city. If
what was refused the real Tudors in Henry
VIII. can be granted to the questionable line
of the Stuarts in the duchess OF Hamilton,
then indeed will a serious issue grow out of
the hitherto hard and fast virtue in vincu-
lum matrimonii, and the door of divorce
may readily be opened by any besieger.
It is alleged that the duchess is influenced
toward this appeal for divorce ON the
grounds that shs was unduly Influenced IL
the matrimonial tie by her mother, the
dowager duchess, and by the said dowager's
particular friend, the late Emperor Napoleon.
But VOLTA lea autre chose! There lived in
Vienna, and still lives there, handsome
Austrian duke, who has Oft visited Paris and
the principally of Monaco and for him,
like many bonnie laddies devoted to Annie
Lowrie, the Duchess would s'lay me doom
and dee" Here is the real undue influence.
And 10, here too, the dowager's repeated
power, for she loveth not the prince, but the
duke! Thus speaketh the quidnuncs of gos-
siping Rome.
But reigning prince, if even the loins
| and quarters of Grimaldi buccaneer an
cestory, intermarried with all the Bourbon
| blue-bloods of the day, will not tamely SUBJ
| NIT to be thus wooed, won and undone! Al
belt his dominion is but square mile OF
rocks and olive-trees, of lemon grounds and
orange groves, and his standing army like
"Falstafff's" guard, still it is the wealthiest
square mile, the gaudiest guard, and the
greatest principally in the world for roat-
lette and rouge ct NOR! Where so much ls
hazarded in funds the prince has learned
naught to risk in cardinal cards or Austrian
tricks. He will not be unloosened, he says;
but princes propose and popes dispose.
| To-day society in Rome is amazed at the
reported pontiicial action in this famous
lease. It is announced on apparently trust
worthy authority that the cardinals decreed
the dissolution Of the marriage contract, and
that the Pope has confirmed the decree. The
matter has attracted almost universal atten-
| ton here, and is the general topic Ct COM
versation in all social circles.

Sudden Death Of Horace Thompson Of st,
Paul, Minnesota,

Horace Thompson, President of the
First National bank in st. Paul, Mimi, left
home for New York Jan. Is, accompanied by
his wife and adopted daughter, and also by
F. F. Drake and John L. Merriam. The party
reached New York Jan. 10, and took rooms
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Mr.. Thompson
and his associates visited New York on bust
ness connected with the extension of the St
Paul & Sioux City railroad. On the afternoon
of Tuesday, Jan. 81, the cashier of the First
National bank received a telegram from New
York, stating that Mr.. Thompson was danger
ously i'll with pneumonia. The news spread
rapidly and produced great anxiety in St.
Paul. Other kilograms followed One dated
1920 p. m. stated that he was sinking and all
hope lost-another announcing his death at
1890 a m. Jan. %. The news Of his death pro-
duced profound sensation in st. Paul, Mr..
Thompson was born in Poultneo, Vermont
in 1927 and was therefore in the 53rd year of
his age. Wien quite young, he and his broth
er, James E., went to Georgia and opened
dry goods store. There he married daugh-
| terof the late Judge Scarborough. In 1864,
| the brothers removed to st. Paul, and en-
! gagged in private banking. Afterwards
| they organized the State Bank of Minnesota,
and in 1868, with the State bank sa basis the
| brothers organized the First National Bank of
! St. Paul, Of which James E. was chosen pres
ident and Horace Cashier. On the death OF
| James Horace was chosen Pres which posi-
! ton he oc cupied at the time of his death. He
wasthe largest stakeholder in the bauk owning
one fifth the entire capital of a million dollars
Besides lis wife and adopted daughter, Louisa
! Miller, he leaves two sons, Horase aged 26
and Charles about Is. A strong and honor
able man has fallen in his prime, and the more
| his death is contemplated, the more it will
be felt as public calamity.
LATER PARTICULARS.

ports as follows: Mr. Thompson was down
town on business Saturday as well as usual

THE IRISH FAMINE OF 1S47.
Parnnll Reiterates His Charge Against
Queen Victoria.

NEW York, Feb. lin reference to the state
ment made recently by Parnell, that Queen
Victoria contributed nothing in 1o47 to the
Irish famine, the denial of which statement
Lord Randolph Churchill hae cabieu here.
Parneli has addressed letter to the New York
Herald in which he says: In reference to Lord
Randolph Churchill's contradiction of my
statement that the Queen gave nothing to re-
lieve the famine in lS47, / find that might
have gone still further and said with perfect
accuracy that not only did she give nothing
but that she actually intercepted 5000 pounds
of donation which the Sultan of Tur-
key desired to contribute to the famine fund
in lS47. The Sultan had offered donation of
ten Thousand pounds, but the English ambss-
sador at Constantinople was directed by the
Queen to inform him that her contribution was
to be limited to two thousand pounds, and that
the Sultan shall not in good taste give any
more than her majesty, hence the net result t.
he famine fund by the Queens action was 9
