IF men are hired only on exposition of

for outbreaks of this kind, whether charges

Amos W. Butler. secretary of the State
Board of Charities. said yesterday that he
was not sure whether the members of the
board would take a hand in the investiga-
ton of alleged inhuman treatment of Grim
inals at the State Prison. Secretary But
Ter said he knew very little about the state
of affairs at the prison, and that all he had
learned of the case was from the news
paper reports. He said il would not be
proper for two boards to carry on an in
vestigation of the same matter. 1t is
thought that the Board of Charities will
take up the investigation when the Board
of Prison Directors has finished.

PRINCESS Us. CHURCH
PRINCE RosPIGLIos1 IS FURIOUS
can Girl Who Married a
Prince.

Rome, July "A great sensation has
been caused here by the action of the
vatican authorities towards the Princess
Joseph Rospigliosi, an American. # Her
husband lis head of an ancient family OF
clerical nobility, and his brother is COM
mandant Of the papal noble guard. On
Aug. &C. 1901, Prince, Rospigliosi; married
hurst OF Washington, the divorced wife
of Colonel Frederick H. Parkhurst of
Bangor, Me. The ceremony was civil, and
hence was not recognized by the vatican.
Princess Rospiglfosi, who is now on the
point of confinement. engaged an English
Blue sister aa nurse and the latter took
up her duties. But Cardinal Macchi (sec-
rotary Of apostolic briefs) hearing OF. this,
forbade the sister to- fulfill her duties, on
the ground that the marriage was nom
existent. The prince was furious and ex-
erted all his influence to overcome the
soruples of the church, but without! avail.
Eventually he was obliged to, send to
England for a nurse. The incident is ex-
pected to have important Developments.
When the news of the marriage of Mrs.
Parkhurst and Prince Rospigliosi reached the
United States, it. was asserted THAT at first
the vatican refused to sanction the marriage
because Mrs Parkhurst was divorced woru-
an; but when the prince declared that she
should be his wife with or without the con-
sept Of the church. sanction was finally given.
Mrs. Parkhurst is a daughter of Samuel Ches-
ter who commanded the American privateer
Brigadier General Armstrong in the battle at
Fayal in the war of 1872. On her mother s
side she Is descended from the Rowan family
of Kentucky. ABOUT ten years ago., in Wash
ington, she met Mr.. Parshurst, who is a
member of the, Maine legislature and Of Gov
ernor Hills staff, with the rank of colonel.
They were married and lived happily for a
time in Bangor They had two children.
Several years ago they became estranged
and Colonel Parkhurst sued for divorce. The
divorce was granted and Mrs Parkhurst left
the city. At Bar Earbor, she met Prince Jo-
seph, who fell in love with her. =.

J.P. and THE KAISER
His Visit to Berlin Caused a Great
Stir There.
HE CALLS THE KAISER GREAT.
The Emperor sympathizes With the
Effort to Abolish ''Unneces-
sary Competitions"

New York, July al. Pierpont Morgan,
on his arrival here, caused great stir,
cables the Berlin correspondent OF the
Herald. When MIR. Morgan, accompanied
by his daughter, sauntered through
Inter den Linden, he was easily recog-
nized by his resemblance to the pictures
and cartoons with which the German pub
lie has been almost daily entertained.
Asked about his meeting with the kaiser,
Mr.. Morgan said: ".-,.&
Il am very sorry, but l cannot say any
thing about the kaiser. He was exceed
ingly courteous to u.s. He's a great man,
for a fact -...- g.. ...s. d.
Clement A. Griscom, who was with the
party on board the Meteor, said: sa
'tThe Anglo Saxon countries - the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many-are destined to rule the sea and
commerce. The kaiser is acquainted with
all the deails Of the ns-Atlantic ship
ping company and shows a marvellous
grasp of current affairs.
while we were aboard the Meteor he
assumed charge and directed like ire
long seaman; lin fact, he would nave LED
the Meteor in as winner Of the nfst
prize except for the large handicap given
the boat.
THE kaiser sympathizes with our Ell
fort in doing away with the unnecessary
competition between the various trans
Atlantic liners and effecting economy.
81 have no doubt the kaiser Is becom-
ing more and more popular, not only
among his own people. but in other
countries. When Prince Henry visited
the United States a member of the New
York Yacht Club decided ito make re-
turn by coming over to the meeting at
Kiel. 1 am sure that the attendance OF
an increasing number of American yachts
at Kiel is nowrcertain.
1.-THE kaiser expressed admiration for
Mr.. Morgan. think he believes that the
United States is a good country to model
after. There Is no reason to fear rivalry
either between Germany and the United
States from a commercial standpoint.
All may work together for a connon end. y
