SWEETHEART.
Announces That He is a Suitor For
Anna Gould's Hand.
She Has Quarrelled With Her Sis•
ter and Friends,
By, Marrying the Prince She May
Lose Eight Millions.
ew York, April 0. --That Prince Helie
de Sagan is a suitor for the hand of
Madame Anna Gould is announced by
the Prince himself in a statement in
which he added that Madame Gould
has quarrelled with her fancily because
of her determination to marry De Sa-
gan, ]llme. Gould is quoted ns saying
that she shall not `longer be oppressed
and ruled by her family!" that at last
"she leas asserted herself and shall abide
by her own decbvion."
Mme, Gould has left the home of her
sister, Miss Helen Gould, with whom she
had -ren staying since her arrival from
France more than a week ago and is liv-
ing With friends at the Hotel St. Regis.
Not. only is sentenehi1 but money as
well involved in the break between Mme.
Gould and the members of her family.
The will by 'which Jay Gould disposed
of his fortune contained a codicil which
may have a prominent part in develop -
manta which may follow a prolongation
of the family trouble, 'Phis codicil pro-
rided that any of his children who
should marry without first gaining the
concent of his sons and daughters should
forfeit min half of his or her imt.ereat
in the estate. In Melanie Gould's ease,
the one-half interest is variously es-
timated 'et between $0,000,000 and $8, -
lege at Belfast is to constitute the pro-
posed new northern university, which
probably will be called the University
of 13elfast. Opinion at present is Le-
vided as to whether to call the Dub-
lin seat of learning St. Patrick's Uni-
versity or the University of Ireland.
Incidentally Chief Secretary Dirrell
defended Mr. MOOS Bryce, who has
leen subjeetcd to criticism in connec-
tion with hie outline of e nmversity
wine given out just before hs became
British :Ambassador to the United
StaLes.
Ales Birrell referred to Mr. Bryce,
who preceded hint in the office of Chief
Secretary for Ireland, as being "busily
and nobly eo gaged in removing all pos-
sible causes of dispute between Great
Britain and the United States."
Mr. A. J, Balfour warmly approved
the broad lines of Mr. Terrell's scheme,
and Mn, John Dillon on behalf of the
Irish party also expressed approval and
assured the Government that it would
have Catholic support in carrying the
project through.

Procession.
London, April Q.—The Bishop of
London, the [tight Rev. A. F. Winning -
ton Ingram, intenda to organize a
monster religious demonstration In the
slums of Westminster.
Some of the worst alums have been
destroyed by the magic of the modern
builder of apartment Mouses, but there

way of morals and sanitation than any
spot in the enet end of London,
Through these squalid streets the
Bishop of London will march at the
treadof a great - Church of England
procession on Saturday, April 4. The
procession, with benzene and mottoes,
will wind in and out of mean alley-
ways and courts headed by a surpliced
choir singing "Onward, Christian Sol.
diere," and finally a midnight service
will be held in an ancient church known
as St. James' the Less.
The popular bishop hes scores of
"workers," mostly women of good post•
tion, spending their entire days trying
to better the conditions of those who
live in Westminster slums.
