Is that when there Is imminent dan
ger OF death and no duly authorized
priest is obtainable then any obtainable
priest can perform the ceremony in
the presence of two witnesses.
The second is decidedly revolution

woman may contract a marriage that

their consent or intentions in the
presence of two witnesses.
This latter is the most important
change made in the marriage laws OF
the church during the last three cen
turtles. 1t introduces q radical over
turning Of legislation IN every coun-
try OF the world. and Is regarded as
the very first indication Of severa

ROME. Aug. 24.-within few days
an extraordinary sensational and revo-
lutionary law interesting ali Catholic
clergymen and laymen in the United
States and affecting directly all Cath
olics in America, Will be promulgated
BY the Vatican authorities.
Until now the church law has been
that American Catholics can contract
marriage validly, although illicitly, by
going before a justice or even before a
Protestant minister when duly licensed
by the civil authorities. but under the
forthcoming church law, all these
marriages will be regarded as null and
void among Catholics.
The new law. which is contained IN
a decree Of the Congregation Of the
Council, drafted by the special request
Of His Holiness, ordains that from
next Easter no marriages among Cath
olics shall be valid unless they are
contracted before a duly authorized
priest IN the presence Of two wit
nesses.
There viii be only two exceptions
to this law, which is to be universal

OBJECT TO NEW SCHEDULE.
Portsmouth People Find Fault With
N. and w. Companv

Considerable of a protest has been made
In Portsmouth. Va, over the announce
ment of the Norfolk and Washington
Steamboat Company that, beginning with
today, it will have 20 boats to stop there
except in the morning The point of obiec-
ton raised by the citizens and business men
of Portsmouth is that the new schedule
will prevent persons returning by boat from
Portsmouth to Washington in the evening
unless they go by ferry to Norfolk and
board the steamer there. The protestants
declare that this is not only a slight on
that city. but will subject to much incon-
venience the many exposition visitors who
make Portsmouth their stopping place.
President Callahan of the Norfolk and
Washington Steamboat Company admitted
last night that his company will only land
its steamers at Portsmouth in the morning
and gave the reason the fact that the
boats are laden to their capacity when they
leave Hampton roads, well being
from three to four hours late every night,
and the new schedule is intended TO re
leve further congestion and delay He
said the schedule is only temporary ana
will be abandoned when the conditions are
bettered. He stated that the Baltimore
steamers do not stop at Portsmouth in the
evening.
