NEW YORK. Feb. 9.--W ord comes
from Rome that the Princess Rospig-
liosi OF Italy, formerly Mrs Frederick
II. Parkhurst. of Bangor. Me-. nee
Marie Jennings Reid, of Washington,
and New Orleans, seems TO have set
tied the great matrimonial controversy
for herself.
The princess left the ancestral
palace, stopped a few days at the
Ritz hotel in Paris. and is now in
London.
The prince is furious-more furious
than usual-and has declared that II
his wife seeks a separation he will
contest it.
And thus seems TO end a contention
that at one time bade fair to upset
the Catholic church's policy toward
the remarTiage OF divorced persons
for even to the day of his wife's elope'
ment Prince Jos. Rospigliosi has
pressed the pope to recognize his mar
riage to the divorced wife of Col
Parkhurst in 1901.

The voyages of the princess bark
upon the high seas OK love have filled
many newspapers with sensational
stuff.
The princess put out originally from
New Orleans, where she stood out con-
spicuously in the brilliant Creole So
ciety.
She made Washington as a port OF
call. There, after considerable ma
neuvering she was made fast to the
side Of Col. Parkhurst as his consort.
But there was, indeed, considerable
maneuvering, Miss Reid was Catho-
lie Parkhurst wasn't. The late Arch
bishop Chapelle secured n special dis
pensation from Rome for the couple
and performed the ceremony.
Followed period OF drifting
through quiet waters. Two children
were born. But squalls broke and Col
Parkhurst secured divorce.
Mrs. Parkhurst then met the prince
and they were married In Rome.
