AN ELABORATE SCHEME.

To obtain gradually that italian catho-
lies shall take part In voting, such is
his intention and object. To succeed in
this he cannot count on the Vatican nor
on the junction OF the two powers: the
entrance of the conservatives into public
life will be enough
Those who know can tell even now
that this will be the ann OF all the ef-
forts OF the king I'm matters between
Italy and the Papacy.
The scheme IL by no means trivial A
gradual break with the theory of the
non expedit would mark. in effect, de-
cisive evolution. beneficial for the third
civilization" IL would mean. on the
one hand, quietly burying the Roman
question. What more would he needed
TO make institutions work regularly? In
place OF the partial desert which incioses
the monarchy In living circle OF hostile
foes there would be the effective col
laboration Of all citizens with the usurp-
ing government. On the other hand, II
would mean the rallying of all the parties
of order against the Republican. that is
to say, the revolutionary, movement.
See what an advance that would be!
At the present moment, as was shown
in the last elections, the dynasty or
Savoy languishing between the Republi-
can left and the right, which refuses TO
vote
Ii the South be thrown out. where the
eternal submission TO the ministry -four
ishes, whatever the government or the
form OF government may be, there fs
left in the center and I'm the North only
an infinitesimal minority In favor OF the
monarchy.

the plea OF Annie castka. is years old,
who asked for tho annulment of her
marriage to Frank Castka, on Nov. 80.
1899. under threats by her father, Emile

She said the ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Victor G. Smith. OF the
Protestant Episcopal church OF the Holy
Faith, at lG6th street and Trinity ave-

FATHERS ALLEGED THREAT.
Mrs. Castka formerly resided with her
parents at No. 1916 Boston road. She had
several admirers. among. them being
Castka and James Chamberlain. When
Castka asked her 10 marry him she told
him that Chamberlain had her love.
Castka was. nevertheless, persistent. He
made visit TO the house on Nov. -.
1893, and in the presence OF the parents
OF the girl. again asked her 10 marry him.
She refused Her father told her she
must marry Castka. and, she testified.

IF you don't marry him, and that
soon. ! will Kill your
Mrs Castka testified that her father
then seized "a shotgun which was stand
ing I'm the dining room and threatened TO
blow her brains out unless she complied
with his wishes. Frightened at the state
ments of her father, she said she gave
her consent
SAID THAT SHE CRIED.
Her father gave her $50 the next day
TO purchase wedding gown, and told
her to have II ready In the evening. She
did not buy II, hoping that her father
would change his mind. That evening,
fearing to make any more trouble. she
accompanied her father, Castka and two
OF his friends and late in the evening
they went to the rectory OF the Church
of the Holy Faith, where the marriage
was performed.
did you not make any objection to
the wedding ceremony being performed?"
inquired Judge Lawrence.
II was asked no questions by him, and
was crying all the time" explained
the young woman.
The Rev. Victor c. Smith admitted.
when seen. that he had married Annie
Corsari. and said that she made no pro-
test against the marriage
The men and women were laughing

TO NAME NEW POPE.

The day when the Papal adherents en-
ter the fray the Republicans will form a
very small class. Not only would great
narties support the established order, but
the probable situation of the two loyanst
forces would check the increasing sue
cess OF Republicanism.
The monarchy would no longer be be-
tween two fires: IL would be opposed
merely by an unstable group, whose
power OF expansion would be broken
against the rock of a harmonious ana
regular policy.
The house of Savoy would be saved
without having asked the Vatican TOR
either assistance or sacrifices. To the
criticisms and remonstrances OF foreign
powers and of the Christian the Quirinal
would answer: go your way; we are In
perfect harmony il Is no longer vital
questions that keep us apart; IL Is only
matters OF practical arrangements
Nevertheless. the Quirnal does not ex-
pect TO surprise the vigilance OF the
present Pope; Leo XIII. looks on parti-
cipation I'm the voting as the keystone of
the opposition TO the government of the
conuuerors.
But already the house of Savoy has be-
gun a series of far-on campaigns with
an eve TO ultimate success. What con-
Germs II above all Is the preparation OF
the conclave with the object OF having
a pope come out of IL who would close
his eyes TO the plan of liberation,
II counts upon certain cardinals and
prelates and Catholic groups. u believes
II can rely on effective assistants both
In and out of the conclave. Lutheran
Germany favors the new intrigue.
WILHELM is AMBITIOUS.
Italian and German Catholics are CIV
ing their aid 10 these tactics. To detach
the pope from France 20 rally the
Italians 10 the monarchy by means OF
electoral and parliamentary cooperation
would be, the shrewdest say, to consoli-
date the triple alliance and to march
firmly toward the establishment of an
empire of the west under the scepter OF
Wilhelm II.
