TO PASS UPON MARRIAGE.
Case of Princess Rospigliosi to Be
Taken Up at Rome.

ROME, March 21.-Cardinal Gotti, pre-
feet of the Propaganda, has instructed Car
dinal Martinelli to report on the case pre-
scented by Princess Rospigliosi. formerly
Marie Jennlng Reid of New Orleans, for
the annulment of her first marriage with
Col. Frederick H. Parkhurst OF Bangor,
Maine.
The case will soon be discussed before
the congregation of the propaganda 1t is
generally believed by ecclesiastical authori-
ties that annulment will be granted as
even admitting that the Parkhurst-Reid
marriage was celebrated with dispensa-
ton. which considered him a Protestant.
the marriage is null and void, II being now
established that Colonel Parkhurst was
never baptized.
The Princess Rospigliosi who is a Cath
Ole, was divorced in 1898 from Colonel
Parkhurst, who was a Protestant, and in
1901 was married in Rome to Prince Ros-
pigliosi, head of ancient family of cler-
ical nobility and brother of the comman-
mony was a civil one, and from the first
the Catholic Church refused 10 recognize
the marriage.
When the prince first applied TO the con-
gregation of the propaganda for recog-
milton of his wife's divorce in the United
States the church declined to recognize 1t,
but Mgr. Chappelle, who married Mrs.
Parkhurst to her first husband, has since
testified before the congregation that the
first marriage was irregular, according to
the laws of the church.

Several times during the night Jean

outside to rcconnoitrc. but the hours
passed without disturbance.
Once. while Jean was pacing up and
down beneath the bright stars with
the hounds for company. the sound
OF n fnrOn VOLTS cry changed. ms

the current Of his thoughts.

A thrill Of hope made new life
spring within him. and. with an un'
voiced prayer. he lifted his wIliul face
to the heavens. from whence there
seemed to descend n strange peace.

Offered they generous bribe?
Pierre inquired softly. turning his
head In order to make sure OF the
other boats exact position. while his
powerful arms worked with the
smoothness OF piston.rod.
Indeed. yes. They offer me the
rank Of captain in the English navy.
and thirty thousand dollars in cash.
Pierre gave a low whistle.
And the price of all this honor and
wealth." he asked. taking another
backward glance.
Pull n bit more to larboard: we
will stop at easy hailing distance.
said Jean. after turning halfway in
his seat. Then. in an entirely dif.
ferent tone. one of concentrated rage,
"Thc price is that we are to sell our.
selves TO the English, and lead them.
by our own paths and waterways. so
that they may fall unexpectedly upon
New Orleans. and burn the city, after

Pierre. although of not so fine n
mould as Jean. shared the latter's dis
like to profanity, and rarely indulged
in strong language. But he now ut.
tered terrible oath.
This was his only comment: and 1t
was followed by silence. until Jean
announced. Here we are: and we'll
lie on our oars"
He sent a challenging shout over
the water, It was answered at once:
then came the sound of working oars,
and LATTE called again, Come no

Nothing more was said until n small
