THE LAKE MYSTERY uNsoLyEn'

Chicago Girl and n Wealthy Hol-
lander Drowned.
Chicago, Sept. 18.-A %coroner's jury mas
decided that M. G. Van der Burg and
Miss Stella Cook. whose bodies were
found in the lake, met their death by
drowning, but that there was no evidence
to prove whether it was accidental or
otherwise.
The introduction of M. G. Van der
Burg, the wealthy Hollander, into the case
partially cleared up the mystery sur
rounding the death of Stella Cook and
freed Harry Thurston from a charge of
murder.
The remains of a man were picked up
at the foot Of Peck court, near where
the girls body was taken out of the
water Saturday. Fred Schmidt, the
boatkeeper, identified Var der Berg as
the man who, in company with the girl,
had rented a boat Tuesday night.
Van der Burg is said to have been a
wealthy man, prominent at his home In
Amsterdam, where his wife and daughter
live. A copy Of a cablegram sent by
Van der Burg to Amsterdam, which was
found on his body, showed that he had
held conferences with ]. J.. Hill Of the
Northern Pacific railroad and other rail-
way magnates, in which he had tried to
enlist their support.

Souls can not be estimated in shek-

does seem to be an unwelcome signifi.
canoe in the fact that, as some one has
estimated last year, the sum of $780,.
600 was expended in Greater New
York for the current expenses Of Pro-
rtestant churches, while the increase in
membership was only 5,278. Yet the
fault, continues the Evangelist, Of
these facts is not to be blamed wholly
upon the members Of the churches. as

People Pass Before the Bier.

Buffalo, Sept. 16.-Buffa!o yesterday
became a city Of mourners. h gay
and flaming decorations gave way to
the symbol of sorrow. The black
drapery of the city's streets muffied the
tolling bells of the churches. Bits OF
crepe appeared on every sleeve. The
sorrow was everywhere apparent. IN
the morning a simple service took place
at the residence on Delaware avenue
where the martyred president died.
A hymn was sung and prayer was
offered over the dead body. That was
all. Only the immediate family and the
friends and political associates OF the
late president were present. The scene
there was pathetic in the extreme.
Then the body was borne ont to the
waiting cortege on the brawhy shoul-
ders Of eight sailors and soldiers of the
republic. The cortege passed hroug
solid walls of living humanity, bafe-
headed and grief-stricken, to the city
hall, where the body lay in state yes
terday afternoon. There a remarkable
demonstration occurred which proved
how close the president YES to the
hearts of the people. Arrangements
had been made to allow the public

extended literally for miles. When o
o'clock came 10000 people had already
passed and the crowds waiting below
in the streets seemed undiminished. II
was decided to extend h time till mid.
night. Then for hours longer the
streets were dense With people and a
constant stream flowed up the steps Of
the broad entrance into the hall and
passed the bier. When the doors were
closed at midnight it was estimated
that $4,000 people had viewed the re-
mains, but thousands Of disappointed
ones were still in the streets.
The body will be taken to the station
by a military escort this morning, the
