daughter could have bad him arrested for
non-support and locked up- OF course Mrs
Blaine would have hurried down and bailed
her son out.
'But have said too much, remarked
Mrs. Nevins 10 conclusion. THE answer to
the letter has yet 70 be made"
FROM THE ARCHBISHOP.
There is a feeling that Father Ducsy has
got himself ia hot water With the archbishop
again because Of his statement made Sun
day night in which he said that the arch
bishop knew everything be did and gave it
his approval.
Archbishop Cnrrigan would not be seen
personally about the letter, but Mgr. Nc
Donnell, secretary TO the archbishop, said:
THE archbishop has nothing to do with
Mr. Blaine's defence Of his wife aud family
Bnt when Father Ducey attempts to throw
upon him any error in Judgment which be
may have made in marrying these two per-
sons his action is somewhat surprising. The
archibishop's position in the matter Is that
Father Ducey brought the two young peo-
pie TO the residence. he desired a special
dispensation to marry them. The arch
bishop tried to dissuade them. The young
man was determined TO get married and
threatened to go to a Protestant clergyman
il Father Ducey would not perform the cere-
mony. The young man said he only lacked
three weeks Of being 81. The dispensation
given by the archbishop gave Father Ducey
the right to marry them If be saw fit and
the responsibility lay entirely with the
priest.
"When Mr.. Blaine wrote to Father Ducey
he sent a copy of the letter TO the arch
bishop, who sent for Father Ducey aud re-
ouested him to make some reply to the
charges it contained. Father Dueev re-
fused, aud said he would take his own time
in answering the letter. 1t is remarkable
for Father Ducey to beat about the bush
and try TO shift the responsibility to the
archbishop.
Repeated efforts were made yesterday to
see Father Ducey and get from him his re-
ply to Mr.. BlRine's letter. It was said at
each visit that he would be away from home
until to-day.

A Jealous DOG.
From the London Npectator.


A young man had for some years owned
dog which was his constant companion.
Recently, however, be married, aud moved
with his wife and dog into house on the
opposite side OF the street from his fathers
house. his old home.
The dog was not happy, for attentions
which had once been his own were now
given to the young wife. His master tried
to reconcile him to the altered state of
things. and the bride endeavored to win his
affection, but he constantly showed his dis.
pleasure and misery.
One day the master came home and sat
down, putting his arm about his wife. Jack
was lying by the fire, and he at one arose,
approached the two, and made the usual
exhibition OF his disapproval.
why, Jackln said his master. "This Is all
right. She is good GIRL" and as he spoke
he patted his wife's arm.
Jack looked up at him, turned away and
left the room. In a moment they heard
noise, and going into the hall, found him
dragging his bed downstairs. He reached
the front door and whined TO be let out.
The door was opened aud he dragged the
bed down the steps and across the street to
his old home, where ne scratched for adj
mittance. Since then he has never re-
turned to his master aud has refused all
overtures toward reconciliation.

DEATH OF A GRAND DUKE.
LeuiS III Of HeSSe SuteumbS to Stroke of
PARALYSIS at barmstadt.

BERLIN, March 13.-The Grand Duke of
Hesse, who was seized with an attack of
paralysis while at the dinner-table at Darm-
stadt week ago. died this morning.
LONDON. March 13.-The news Of the
death of the Grand Duke of Hesse caused
great grief at Windsor.
The Grand Duke Louis " was born
September y. 1897, and was married at Os-
borne, Isle of Wight. on the 1st of July,
1852, 10 Alice. daughter OF Queen Victoria
At the time Of the marriage of Prime ,ss
Alice the Grand Dake had m0rganatic wife,
whom he discarded for the hand of the Prin-
cess.
On account Of the morganatic wife, Queen
Victoria was somewhat opposed 10 the mar
riage but consented reluctantly, as Alice
was deeply in love with the Grand Duke.
Louis treated Alice WELL and was a sincere
mOurner when she died in December, 1879.
One OF their children is the Princess Eliza
beth, vile of the Grand Duke Serglus of
Russia. Considerable of sensation was
caused last year by the conversion of Eliza
beth to the Russian Greek Church. 1t was
alleged at the time that she was driven to
espouse her husbands religion by violence
and abuse on the part of the Russian In-
perial family, and that her father, the Grand
Duke. was strongly opposed to her leaving
the Protestant faith. ana wished her grand
mother, Queen Victoria, to join with him in
interfering.
The Queen. however, advised her grand
daughter to comply with her husbands
wishes. and sent her blessing. Another
daughter Of the Grand Duke and Princess
Alice is Irene, who is married TO Prince
Henry of Prussia. brother Of the Kaiser,
Prince Henry and his wife thus being grand
son and granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
Another daughter, named Victoria. is mar
ried TO Prince Louis of Battenbe The
heir TO the throne of Hesse is the Prince
Ernest Louis. born NoYem Der %. 1865 The
accession of Ernest Louis will see another

Special 10 THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, March 13. - Herbert of
Alabama, Chairman of the House Commit
tee on Naval Affairs, has prepared an elab-
crate report TO accompany the naval appro-
priatiOE bill recently reported TO the House.
After calling attention to the fact that the
bill carries an aggregate appropriation OF
SIS. 726. S23 and is over SS,000 COO less than
The amount appropriated by the second ses-
sion of the Filty-frSt Congress for the cur
rent year and S30.000 less than estimated by
the department as necessary for the year
covered by the bill, the report says: I'VE
have been enabled TO make reduction
without in any manner impairlng the pro-
gress Of our new navy, in great part be-
cause OF the large surplus that will remain
on hand at the end of the present fiscal
year" Speaking of the refusal of the COM
mittee to recommend considerable number
OF proposed Improvements at the navy-yaTds
and stations, The report says: LAS in any
thing else established improvements with
out limit can be suggested, but the commit
tee has followed rules which should guide
prudent business mar in the management
Of bis own property. and in no case re-
fused to recommend any expenditure which
seemed to be really present necessity. On
the question OF increase Of the navy, while
The committee unanimously favored an
Increase in the number of ships and yards
As we'll as increased facilities for building
armOr plates, gun forglngs etc, they think
every dollar available should be used 10
complete the vessels heretofore authorized
before eXpendlng any toward increasing
the facilities for building ships" The re-
port which Is very lengthy, ends as fol-
lows:
"A M ajority of the committee recommend
the authorization of one strong and swift
commerce destroyer Of the type of the New
York, whose arm0r can be manufactured
much more easily and With less delay than
can the heavy armor for q battle-ship
BY extending the construction OF the new
vessels needed over q series of years
we shall avoid mistake and prevent the
repetition Of slight errors and by keeping tie
appropriations within moderate bounds
each year Congress will commend its pro-
gramme 10 popular approval The few mis-
takes made thus far are SO inSigniicant
that 1t may safely be stated that our success
In sbip-building is remarkable"
