THE sANCTITY OF MARRIAGE.
Assertion as to Attitude of Catholic
Church Is Denied.

Editor The Washington Herald:
This mornings edition of The Herald
reports a sermon delivered by Rev. DIR.
Randolph H. McKim, rector Of the
Church of the Epiphany. in the course
of which the doctrine of the Catholic
Church, regarding the sanctity Of the
marriage bond, was attacked, and the
consistency Of the church in enforcing
her doctrine brought into question.
DR.. McKim declares that the position
of the Catholic Church is at variance
with the teachings of the Bible. The
Bible, he states, sanctions divorces IN
cases Of certain misconduct, and gives
TO the innocent party the right to marry
again. For sound and obvious reasons
the doctor cites no texts in support Of
his assertions.
The words of Christ, Whom God hath
Joined together let no man put asunder, 1"
have been observed by the Catholic
Church from the beginning. When the
Pharisees called attention to the bill of
divorce allowed by Moses, Christ re-
sponded that Moses. as a law-giver and
on account Of their hardness OF heart,
had permitted divorce, but that the
Christian law would not permit It, The
teachings of st. Jerome were that no
person guilty OF adultery could be per-
mitted to marry another. and the attf-
tude OF the Catholic Church has ever
been firm in upholding this doctrine.
History does not show a single de-
parture from this policy. On the con-
trary, the record is filed with notable
instances of its enforcement, even
against Kings. AS early as the ninth
century Pope Nicholas 1 excommunicat-
ed Lothaire II, King OF Lorraine, while
Urban II. in the eleventh century, ex-
communicated Philip I Of France. who
had put aside his wife Bertha These
instances were in the so-called Dark
Ages. They had their counterpart in the
courage exhibited by Celestine III and
Innocent III against Philip II of
France: by Clement VII and Paul III
against Henry VIII. and finally by Plus
VII against Napoleon. when Europe was
at the feet OF the Emperor.
When DR.. McKim says that the
Catholic Church has been abundently
shown by history TO have failed to carry
out her pretenses. he has misled his con-
gregation. The record Of history is en-
tirely the other way.

RIoTING IN CHOLERA ZONE.

Milan Italy. Oct. 16.-Serious rioting,
which was quelled only by the arrival
of troops from Rome, occurred at Segni
to-day, as a result of the precaution be-
ing taken there to-day. The populace,
not understanding the measures of the
sanitation that were being enforced, and
fearing that narm would come to the
quarantined persons, became enraged,
drove the sanitary corps from the city
and then sacked and burned the town
hall.
A number of cholera patients were
taken from the hospitals and carried
shoulder-high TO their homes. The mob
paraded the streets. yelling: Death to
the nurses!' and Death to the doctors"'
until the situation became so menacing
that a regiment of troops was sent from
Rome. Order was established soon after
their arrival Many arrests OF rioters
were made.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
BY A. w. MACY.
BACHELORS RULED OUT.

BACHELORS RULED OUT.
In 1884 the moderate Repub-
licans of France, who wished to
establish a republican form OF
government, held a convention
and prepared a new constitution
to be voted on by the people. In
some respects II was very good
and much superior to any which
had preceded it. It provided that
the legislative powers should be
committed to two bodies, as in
the United States. The higher
one. corresponding to the United
States Senate, was to be called
THE Council of the Ancients."
It was to consist of $50 mem
bers, each OF whom was to be at
least forty years of age. and a
married man or a widower. An
unmarried man was not consider
ed equal to the responsibility of
being a member of this weighty
body. The second or lower body
was to consist of 500 members, d.
each OF whom must be at least
thirty years of age. There was
no restriction in regard to being
married or unmarried, however
In the rapid whirl of events this
constitution was soon lost sight
OF, along with a great many
other things. and the French
bachelors escaped the impending
humiliation.

Concerning this ring a romantic anec-
dote is told in THE Traditionary Me-
moirs Of Queen Elizabeth" 1t is to the
effect that the Countess of Nottingham,
who was a relation, but no friend, of
the Earl of Essex, being on her death
bed entreated to see the Queen, declar-
ing that she had something to confess
before she could die in peace. When
Queen Elizabeth appeared the dying
countess gave her a ring which, she
said, the Earl of Essex had sent her
after his condemnation, with an earnest
request that she would deliver 1t to the
Queen as the token by which he I'M
plored her mercy, but that in obedience
to her husband, to whom she had COM
municated the circumstances, she had
withheld It, for which she entreated the
Queens forgiveness.
Elizabeth instantly recognized the ring
as one which she had given to her hap
less favorite, with the tender promise
that whatever offense he might be ac-
cused OF or even guilty. on his returning
to her that pledge, she would either par
dop him or admit him to Justify himself
In her presence. Transported with griet
and rage at learning OF the cruel du-
plicity of which the earl had been the
victim. and she herself the dupe. the
Queen is said to have violently shaken
the dying countess as she lay on her
deathbed. This episode, II is said, caused
the melancholy which SEIZED Elizabeth
on returning to the palace and perhaps
hastened her death.

WRATH OF HER PASTOR LOVERS SWEETHEART

red IN Kent, England, tragedy
that was vry similar to that which
has blasted Violet Edmands' life.
The Rev. Raeburn Forbes, a
curate in a country village, gave
up the girl to whom he had been
engaged from the days, of his
childhood, in order to become the
affianced husband of Lady
Brooking, the daughter of the
Oldest, and wealthiest, family of
the neighborhood.
The day Forbes engagement
to the Lady Brooking was an
nounced, the dead body of Gle
mentine Watson, the girl with
whom he had broken, was found
in her bedroom at her home.
Three weeks later, Forbes was
arrested charged with murder.
Poison had ben found in her
body.
Forbes protested his innocence.
The Lady Brooking offered to
stand by him. She did stand by
him. She gave him the aid of
both money and sympathy.
And the day before Forbes was
found guilty of Clementine Wat
sons murder, the Lady Brooking
was found dead in a room in her

She had committed suicide, and

But another explanation of the

about the Select circle in which

It's said that this girl, who was

Cincinnati, March 9.-White firemen of the Cincinnati.

The action was taken by the union after a long conference with T. c. Powell, vice president of the railroad, had failed to result in an agreement.
 While the union officials were busy sending out the strike orders MT Powell dictated a telegram to Washington in which he asked mediation of the federal authorities under the Erdman act. The union officers. upon being informed of this, declared that they would not join in a request for mediation, asserting their experience had led them to believe the men would lose rather than gain by such a course.
 Outside of this sentiment they would not issue any statement beyond what had already been published on their side of the question. MT Powell gave out memo randum relating to facts of the confer ence and the refusal of the union to join the railroad in an application for media tion. The memorandum states that the road thereupon had applied to Charles P

 This condition Is the result of contro- versy concerning conditions of employ ment which have arisen between the rail- way company and the firemen employed by us threatening to interrupt the busi- ness of said company. In view Of emer- geneies, immediate action is requested"
 The strike order was originally sched- uled to take effect at 5:30 p. m,, but be- cause of the length of the conference the union committee was forced to postpone the actual beginning of the strike for an hour and half.
 It was stated confidentially at the union headquarters that every white fireman belonging to the organization would drop his shovel and rake' at o'clock.
 The strike Is due to a dispute as to the status of negro firemen. The union claims that the working agreement with the road is such that the negroes are ineligible to any work except on local and slow freight trains and on yard engines. The rail- road disputes this and asserts that it's negro employees are entitled to promotion on the same terms as the white men. About 220 firemen are on the roster of the road.
