Tho Able Jules Claraz, Vicar Of St.
German, LAuxerrois, has published a
book entitled. The Marriage nr
Priests which has caused a greas
sensation in ecclesiastical circles. The
priest has already published numerous
works approved by the cardinals OF
Paris and Rennes and several arch
bishops and bishops. but The Marri-
age OF Priests" has been issued with
out the authority OF the church
Mons!gnor Annette. the head OF tho
church in Paris. forbade the priest to
publish the book. He has written a
sharp letter to Monsignor Annette. in
witch he rebels against ccclesiastlc
authority. and utters the cry OF Down
with the Croiserl'
The thesis OF the Able cIaraz Of tho
marriage or priests is simple In $50
pages he attempts TO demonstrate that
Systematic and compulsory cciibacy Is

by the history OF all the centuries
This thesis, which is not new. was not
admitted hy MonsiRnor Annette when

sale Will be allotted to the Turkish
Meet. From this point OF view it is
unfortunate that the auction will not
take place earlier. since the money
would have been useful in present cir
cumstances.
Since the seizure Of the ex-Sultan's
effects by the Turkish government the
jewels have been lying a the bank
here. where they have been seen by
plany people The objects. however.

stant;nople
There are two OF three exquisite
diamond necklaces. each containing
three rows Of fine pearls. Chaplets
for the recital of the prayers OF tho
Koran are also extremely beautiful
Then there arc necklaces and pendants
in emeralds and diamonds The Turk

stones. contained the cigarettes or bon

harem. In all, the Jewels number 4?o.
The most interesting and charming
of any are tile "zarfs.' in the form %

and emeralds. They intended for

which the Turkish court drank it's
coffee. These rich examples of work

atmosphere than other Of the objects
figuring in the catalogue, which is pre-
faced by an article of Jean Richepin
the academician.
While in Constantinople he wa.
asked to write a preface to the cata-
logue of the ex-Sultan's Jewels. which
arc TO be put up to auction. The poet
was shown the Jewels in the under
ground strong room of tho Imperial
Ottoman Bank. and his recital of the
experience reads like a chapter from
