nitary of the Catholic church in New
York. was not present at the cere'
mony. While he granted the neces-
sary dlspeasation, he refused TO be
present at the ceremony himself, be-
cause OF his strong feelings against
marriages between Catholics and
Protestants. He heartily disapproves
of all such alliances, and. no matter
how prominent the contracting par.
ties. he has always consistently re-
| fused to give the sanction of his pres
ence to such marriages.

at court. unless special patent Is
granted by the emperor. Only one il
