Bishop Spalding. Of Peoria, announced
to the Catholic hierarchy her inten-
ton Of endowing the Catholic univer-
sity, and council was held to con-
slider her offer.
Such project long had been con
sidered, but suficient funds had never
been provided. Miss Caldwell donat-
ed the eighty-eight acres on the edge
Of Washington, erected three of the
largest buildings, including Caldwell

who was thirty-three years the senior

queen secured. and the day for the
ceremony set.
The day before the marriage the
prince and his legal representative
and Miss Caldwell and her attorneys
met to arrange the antenuptial con-
tract. The prince insisted upon the
control Of the fortune Miss Caldwell
refused this Then he offered to take
half OF 1t. This the American girl
refused. saying that she had intended
settling $4,000 year upon her hus-
band. The prince wanted more. Miss
Caldwell at once broke the engage

Miss Caldwell, in 1892, announced
her engagement to the Marquis de

be love match. She was married

Prominent members of the Roman
Catholic clergy in Washington ex-
pressed their surprise at the an
nouncement that the Marquise des
Monsters, formerly Miss M. G. Cald-
well, and the founder of the Catholic
university at Washington had re-
nounced the Catholic faith. In fact,
they we're loath to believe she had
formed such determination,
Bishop Spalding of Peoria, when
asked IL he could assign any reason
for the Marquise des Monsters ac-
ton, he answered that he could not;
that he knew her only as good
Roman Catholic, and until the an
nouncement was made had given no
thought otherwise. ut is all mys-
terry to me- he said.
One official of the Roman Catholic
church attributed as possible cause,
taking the story to be correct, the
notoriety which the university gained
by the failure of Thomas q. Wagga-
man, It's treasurer, by which the uni
versity suffered considerable lnan-
cial loss.

In connection with the celebration Of

committee is considering plans for a
monster muster and parade of the volun-

feature OF the day. with a balloon ascen-
sion at the park In the afternoon and fire.
work in the evening both at Roger VIII
liams and Davis parks.
The committee met at the city hall last
night and talked the matter over, IL de-
veoped that with suitable prizes the mus
ter would bring 20 this city n greater
number OF the most famous hand tubs
in New England so that the affair would
be one long to oe remembered. Exchange
place which was the scene OF the muster
about Is years ago would be the place
OF the playout and ample room would
be secured there for the machines as
we'll as the great crowd OF spectators.
1t is proposed TO give the matter in
charge OF the Providence Veteran Fire
mems association 10 have Captain George
Hunt as chief marshal and in case the
parade is started about $50 the squirt
would be under way before noon. In case
a substantial prize is offered II would be-
possible TO get 10 or 90 companies here and
the turn out OF red jeckets would be
revelation TO great many people In
order to get through In time two ma
chimes could ne played AT the same tllHe
upon double platform.
For the interval between the parade and
the squirt hose reel races and hose lay
ing matches could be held on the asphalt
pavement OF the square and the running
teams would prove an interesting feature
OF the procession I'm which also some com
panies OF the city department might par
ticipate as is often the case when fire.

No danger from flre is feared, as the com
panies can respond TO an alarm from the
