strange Matrimonial TauE,c.
One Of tho most extraordinary mat
rimonial cases ever brought before
the Vatican is that of the Trincess de
Chimay. formerly Clara Ward, OF Dc
troit Michigan.
This tempest-tossed woman. who IS
a daughter OF tho late Commodore
Ward and niece Of we'll known
banker of Chicago. is the divorced
Wife or the head OF princciy house
the ex-wifc OF the Gipsy fiddler, Rlgo.
and the discarded Wife OF an Italian
railroad station master, named Ric-
chardi.
She is making desperate opposition
to the Prince DE Chimay's attempt to
have their marriage annullcd by the
church. Prince De Chimay Is the head
OF an ancient Catholic house, which has
powerful branches in France and Bel
gIum. His chief sea, Is at Hanault. In
Belgium. So powerful was he with the
late King Leopold. that after his mar
riage with Clara Ward be was able to
have her made a lad%/of court
IN In 1897 after her elopement with
Rigo. the prince obtained n civil d.
vorce, but had no intention of letting
the matter rest there, and cndcavored
TO obtain from the ecclesiastical au-
thorities a declaration that tho mar
riage was null and void from the be-
ginning. The case came in the first
instance before the matrimonial court
Of the Archbishop OF Paris. and much to
the princes surprise. Archbishop
Annette took the side or the Amer
lean woman. He holds that Clara
Wards marriage with De Chmay was
valid and cannot be dissolved by the
church.
This marriage was performed by the
.Papal Nuncio in Paris. twenty years
ago. Though Clara Ward belonged to
a non Catholic family, a dispensatIon
was got from Rome. Prince De
Chimay has appealed from this de-
cision OF tho Paris archbishop, and
has taken the case to Rome. 1t is now
before the Rota. which Is a body OF
churchmen appointed by the Pope to
try matrimonial cases. 1t was this
court which decided against Princess
Rospigiosi formerly Mrs. Parkhurst
OF Bangor, Me. and niece of the late
General d Cesnola, of New York
