Princess ROspigliosi.

Rome, March l6.-Princess Rospig-
liosi, formerly Mrs. Parkhurst, OF Ban
gor and Washington, continues to exert
every effort to have her marriage to
Parkhurst annulled, in order that her
marriage to the prince may be solemn
lied by the church. She has sent a
communication to the propaganda de-
nouncing Bishop O'Connell, OF Port
land, stating that he was influenced by
enemies of Prince Rospigliosi when he
refused to declare her marriage with
Parkhurst irregular, The evidence adj
duced at the time she attempted to have
Bishop O'Connell make such DECLARE
ton, She says, was most favorable to her
case. Prince Rospigliosi wants Bishop
O'Connelps decision reversed. The
troubles of the prince and Mrs. Park
hurst have been before the Vatican
for about two years. Mrs, Parkhurst,
who was divorced from her husband sew
eral years ago, married the prince, legal
ly. in 1901. She then tried to have her
marriage to Parkhurst annulled on the
ground that he was Protestant and she
a Catholic, and that no dispensation had
been granted for their marriage. She
appealed to Bishop O'Connell, and fail
ing there, she carried her case to the
higher courts of the church. The mat
ter is still in allegiance.

Webster's International Dictionary.

The New Edition Of WEBSTER'S INTER
NATIONAL DICTIONARY, recently issued
brings Webster again abreast of the growth
of the language and again confirms 1t in its
position as the standard authority. A decade
has passed since the International was first
published and the years have been full OF
changes that have been reflected in the
language and that must now be registered in
the dictionary. A supplement of additional
words has therefore been added to the Inter
national TO include the thousands of new
words thar have come into literary use. The
same ideals and principals, so thoroughly ap,
proved by experience, which were followed
in the body Of the book, governed the work
of the supplement, and the best scholarship
and expert knowledge in the country have
been employed TO make it equal in every re-
spect to the main vocabulary. In addition to
keeping the dictionary abreast of the times,
its typographical excellence has been presery.
ed, by the making of any entirely new set of
plates for the book. There are 1854 pages in
the International and over 5000 illustrations
in the body of the work, and most of these are
repeated and classified with many. others in
the appendix. The new edition of Webster,
therefore retains all the excellencies of the
International, emphasized and multiplied, all
its accuracy and convenience with added full
ness and authority, so that it is, as before, the
best practical working dictionary of the
English language.

appointment

In TIE course of his lecture before
the National Geographic Society in Wash
ington on Friday night, Prof. Charles
o. Walcott, director of he geological
survey, made the statement that at the
present rate of consumption the anthra-
cite coal fields of the United States would
be exhausted in sixty years and that the
bituminous coal field would be worked
out by the year A. d. 220S. When this
occurred, he said the country would be
Obliged to secure its fuel supply from
the practically inexhaustible Ignite beds
of the West. The professor should re-
member that the people Of this country
had enough trouble last winter in getting
coal and don't want to be reminded OF
troubles in that line three hundred years
hence. Still some people, however,
would be willing to endure the coal
inconvenience if they were assured they
would live the three hundred years to
experience it.

battling with the Waters.

Memphis, Tenn, March 16.-Waging
a desperate battle with the waters of the
Mississippi, which last night reached a
stage of 3S.5 feet at Memphis, 1000
men are fighting to save the levees in
the lower st. Francis basin. The river
i now threatening to break the levee at
Holly Bush, one mile above st. Clair,
and fifteen miles above Memphis. For
a distance of nearly 600 yards, the water
has reached the top of the leyee at that
point. and all through the night force
of 100 men have been working to keep
the food from breaking the embankment.
In several places the water has also COM
menced to trickle through the defense and
only by the most heroic efforts has a
collapse of the levee been prevented.
The crest of the rise is expected to reach
Memphis this evening, when it is be-
lieyed the river will reach stage OF ~
feet. All along the st. Francis levee
district the engineers are working night
and dav. raising the levees with sacks OF
dirt and strengthening them with timber.
Four steamers are patrolling the threat
ened territory and the embankment is
being guarded by armed men to prevent
any malicious tampering with the works.
Just at the present, the greatest danger
in the river is between New Madrid and
Memphis. m
Memphis, March 16.--The Mississip-
pi river is rising now at an appalling
rate. The gauge now reads 1871. This
is l.S feet over the highest water mark
of record and 6.3 over the danger line.
The crest of the food is now between
Memphis and New Madrid, Mo-, and is
not due to reach this city until Wednes

The New Shamrock.

Glasgow. March l6.-A number OF
members of the press and others were to-
day admitted to Denny's ship yard,
where Sir Thomas Lipton's racer
is being constructed. Those who were
looking for sensational developments in
the design and construction of the chal-
Ienger were disappointed, as the under
body of the yacht was hidden by cradle
and huge pontoOns. Great difficulty ac-
cordingly was met in making out the
lines of the boat. 1t was seen, however,
that she is not as lightly framed as the
last Shamrock. The perfection with
which the nickel and steel hull plates
were wrought together was a matter OF
general admiration. The boat is decid-
edly buoyant, but sitter, and will stand
a heavier strain than her predecessors.
Her underbody is full forward, but finely
drawn aft, with long counter and easy
entrance forward. Stability is secured
from a powerful fin keel. While the
dimensions of the new boat are withheld,
it is known that Fife and Watson have
not radically departed from the lines Of
Shamrock H., The draft of which was
49, feet and beam 251. The present
boat has rather more beam than the Sec
ond. but she has a shallower underbody
Nickel and steel are used throughout ex-
cept, in the deck, where aluminium,
sheathed in wood, is employed. The
main spars OF the boat are hollow steel.
Altogether the new boat is considered
shipbuilding triumph.
