news Of CAPTIVE WOMAN
State Department Hears About
Miss Stones Situation.
WAS ALIVE LAST SATURDAY.
She Is a Captive Upon Mountain
Strengthens the Hope of officials
That the Brigands DO Not Intend to
XIII Her. -r..

Washington, Oct. 11.-Miss Stone
was alive and we'll last Saturday. This
was the reassuring information the
state department has received from
Consul General Dickinson at Sofia. 1t
strengthened the hope entertained by
the officials that the brigands have no
intention OF putting Miss Stone to
death, and that she will be safe until
the ransom is paid. The state depart
ment has forwarded to Spencer Eddy,
secretary Of the legation at Constan-
tinople. who has been negotiating with
the brigands, the draft sent it Gy the
Boston board of missions. This draft
is only half of the sum demanded, and
a determined effort is being made to
induce the brigands to accept a smaller
ransom than they seek. It would not
surprise officials should the Bulgarian
government send troops to surround
the mountain upon which the brigands,
with Miss Stone, have sought refuge.
The Department. dispatch is rather
vague, but indicates that this noun
tain is in Bulgarian territory. The au-
thorities would naturally prefer Miss
Stones rescue without the payment of
ransom, but rather than she should be
harmed they think the money should
be paid.

of time-how much is not stated-and

reasonable hope for getting the money
in season to save her life.
The danger in the situation lies in
the abatement of popular interest

I)IV0R||ClE CANON is ADOPTED.
Episcopal Bishops for Reform IN
Marriage Laws.
DEPUTIES SILL TO ACT.
r.nmittec's Report ON the Marginal
Readings Accepted. with One Amend
,nent--lseading Original with Com
mittec Are Eliminated.

San Francisco, CaL,rSOcC. II.-Ine
ho,,se of bishops of the triennial Epis-
copa convention by vote OF 81 to 81
odonted canon SO, which relates to the
determination of marriage. All of the
provisions of this canon had been ar
rued previously except those contained
IN section 4, which forbade the mar
riace of persons divorced for any
cause not existing before marriage.
..For any cause not existing before
marriage is understood to refer to
such causes as insanity, inability to
execute a contract, the existence of a
living wife or husband, or like rea-
sons which practically render the mar
rage null and void. This section
caused contention, strong element in
the church holding that the remarriage
Of the innocent party to a divorce
granted on the ground OF infidelity
should not be forbidden. The bishops
have refused to accept this view of the
matter. The question is by no means
settled, as the whole subject is now to
come up in the house of deputies,
where it is expected to cause a pro-
tracteE debate.
Committee to Decide on Name.
Another important feature of the
work of the house Of bishops today
was the appointment of committee
of five to act with similar committees
of priests and laymen, constituting a
Joint committee of fifteen, in consid-
ering the proposed change In the name
of the church. The committee has no
power to act, but is to report it's find
ings at the next general convention,
to be helds in Boston in 1904. The
bishops rejected the Huntington
amendment, and also article v of the
proposed constitutional amendments
which provides for the admission of
new dioceses and which has already
been rejected by the deputies.
Marginal Readings Adopted.
The house of deputies adopted the
report of the joint committee on mar
ginal readings, after agreeing to an
amendment eliminating those readings
which are original with the committee.
The vote on the main proposition, as
amended, was as follows: Clerical
Aye, So dioceses; nay, dioceses: dl-
vided, 1 diocese. Lay-Aye, 45 do
ceses; nay, dioceses; divided, 2 do
ceses. The report as amended will
now 60 back to the house Of bishops
for action on the amendment.
Both houses unanimously selected
Boston as the place for holding the
next triennial convention.

she was playing, and he lay in wait.
AS she alighted from her carriage
and was about to enter the theater he
served the paper on her and demand
ed the box of diamonds. Lady Hope
refused to give them up, but the depu-
ty insisted, and said he would call a

sheriff should take them, while she
summoned Emanuel Friend, her law
yer.
Mr.. Friend was at home taking a
bath when the telephone message that
Lady Hopes diamonds were In the
grasp of the law was brought to him.
He hurried over to Brooklyn and in
formed the sheriff that he represented
the Hope estate, and that the diamonds
belonged to the estate, and not to Lady
Hope. He declared that she was mere
ly custodian of the gems.
The sheriff was finally convinced by
Mr.. Friends arguments, and he gave
up the diamonds. Later in the even

Office of the theater to get her salary,
able to get the diamonds, had attach
ed the money.
Lawyer Friend, who was still in the
theater, was called again, and he prov
ed to the deputy that her salary had
been assigned to others and did not
belong to her, and he was forced again
to relinquish his claim.
Lady Hope stepped triumphantly in
to her automobile, which called for her
at the theater. When the sheriff was
informed that it was her own property
being a present from her husband, he
made a dash for the vehicle to attach
it, but the auto left him behind.

There was added another chapter to
the interesting history OF the famous
Hope diamond when a deputy sheriff
with an attachment for $500 against
Lady Francis Hope, gently tapped her
on the shoulder as she aIighted from
the carriage in front of the theater at
which she is playing and informed her
charge of the box of gems she was
carrying.
The attachment which the sheriff
had was obtained against Lady Hope
by Junius Brutus Booth, an actor and
a grandson of Edwin Booth He al
leges that on March 4th Lady Hope.
through her attorney, Manuel Friend,
made a contract with him whereby he
was to take part in a sketch which she
was to produce entitled "The Lady and
the Lover" written for her by George
v. Hobart.
He also asserted that as an evidence
of good faith on the part of Lady
Hope, she introduced him to her hus-
lee Strong, who is. said to be back of
her in the sketch. Later on, however,
Booth alleges she changed her mind
and produced the sketch without him.
His contract, he declares, was to
have been for ten weeks, and he has
begun an action against her for 81 500
damages.
His lawyer got out the attachment
and placed it in the hands of Sheriff
Cunningham to serve. The sheriff was
informed that Lady Hope carried her
diamonds to and from Hyde & Beh-
