No tidngs Of Princess Ann O'Delia Diss De-
bar, dead or alive, had been obtained at Q

The disposition evinced at first to treat her
sensational announcement OF her intention to
take her own life as one OF her characteristic
advertising schemes has given place to-day to
agrowng belief that the woman really did in
tend to end an existence unique in Its startling
incidents.
Her preparations were elaborate and GER
tainlv seem to indicate that her intention was
to abandon the business of living.
She dismissed her maid last Saturday. She
surrendered up all her arparent possessions; 1;
gave up many heretofore guarded secrets of
her life for the past few months, even to the
innumerable debts that she had contracted, and
finally renounced the Roman Catholic faith, Of
which she had been 80 long and warm an ad-
hernet.
She reveals in her letter to District Attorney
NcolL which she evidently intended to be con-
sdered as her will, that her two children are
not sisters; but that Lola Alice, pretty girl Of
eighteen years, was only an adopted daug hter,
while Dodo (Juliette) ten years old, Is the child
of Joseph H. Diss Debar and herself, born in
Philadelphia, but that she loved Lola Alice
best.

Bonaparte in Rome in 1872, be given to

All of these things, the guests at Taylor's
Jersey City Hotel argue, were the preparations
Of Nine. Dlss Debar for leaving this world.
LAST SEEN IN TIE FLESH.
She went away from Taylor's Hotel Monday
forenoon, taking nothing but the very plain
clothing that she wore-tne garb OF Sister of
Charity, the head covering slightly modified In

While at Taylor's the SpiTltualistic priestess
behaved unexceptionably. she was in manner
exceedingly civil and unctuous, and seemed
to be very serious.

suici1e. whatever may have been her inten-
ton when she wrote and mailed her alleged
last communications to The WORLD. He be-
leves that she will return to the hotel In day

Not with the assistance of any materiaiiz-
