Still disappearing as Nun She Returns
to New York I'm the Steerage.

Nine. Diss Debar Of spook- picture notoriety,
after sensational voyage on the Inman steam
ship City Of Berlin. is again in New York. says
the Herald, and quartered at the lodging house
OF Mrs. Bennett, No. 1874 Washington place.
She occupies the second-story front rooms and
has her victuals sent in from an eating house
on Barrow street. When this notorious woman
last visited Europe she went in the guise of
nun and called herself Sister Ignatius. She
occupied, at q cost of $500, the most luxurious
quarters on the steamship City Of New York,
also of the Inman line. Her mission abroad
did not prove financially successful and she
returned in the Storage of the City of Berlin,
still masquerading Sister Ignatius. The
agents Of the Inman line in Liverpool, remem-
bering the regal way in which the bogus Sister
Ignatius had travelled on their other steamer
wrote letter to Capt. Land of the Berlin urging
him to make her as comfortable as possible.
Two days out from Liverpool Diss Debar
asked permission Of Capt Land to hold Cath
olic services for the benefit of the other steer
age passengers. Consent was given but Nine
Debar's courage failed and the service was not
held. She, however, attended the usual SER
vices Of the Church of England, held in the
CABIN, and a lady passenger who had paid $50
to Diss Debar for a spirit picture recognized
her. This passenger spoke to the captain and
he sent the steward to interview Nine Debar
She denied the story and became very indig-
nant but did not visit the saloon again. At
quarantine last Friday she refused to file out
with the other Storage passengers for exami-
nation by the health officer. As she could not
go ashore until she complied the examination
was eventually made. and carrying a satchel,
her only baggage, she met an elderly. we'll
dressed man and they were driven to the resi-
dence OF Miss Lena Zimmerman, dress maker,
on Lexington avenue. Miss Zimmerman, who
was swindled by Diss Debar years ago, refused
to receive her. Nine. Debar and her compan-
Ion drove to Washington place, where she got
a room. The lodging house keeper fancies
that her apartment is honored by the presence
OF Sister Ignatius. and refused to believe that
the latter LOGGER is sailing under false colors
The spook-plcture artist peremptorily refused
to receive visitors,and when Mrs. Bennett asked
II she would see a reporter the madame re-
the door.
