The Victorian medal came as a com

clusion of his concert before the royal
family at Sandringham, on the first of
last December. After thanking the
American conductor for his concert and
congTatulating him upon the excellence
of his band, King Edward took a little
box which was handed to him by an
equeFry, and in q few pleasant words
a souvenir of the occasion. Later In the
evening, when he had been presented to
the Prince and Princess of Wales the
former asked him what were the medals

that one was the decoration of "Offleer

organist of the choir She oSsG4pied that
position for a year when she was mar
ried, ana was succeeded by Mrs. Frank
J.. Hoffman. Mrs. Hoffman, is one of
the musicians to whom ST. Paul can al
ways point with pride. AS an organist
and particularly as an accompanist she
has won a reputation that is by no means
confined TO the Northwest. AS an ac-
cOmpanist particularly does she rank
among the best known in the United
States.
When Mr.. Gehan first assumed the di-
rectorship of the choir Mr. Heating was
the tenor and Miss Sarah Nicely, Miss
Frances Smith and Miss Hannah Naugh-
ton were the women soloists. Miss Neely
studied with Marchesi in Paris Both
she and Miss Naughton took the veil
and both are now nuns at the Visitation
convert About four years ago Mrs. Hoff-
man left the cathedral to become organist
at st. Luke's. Two years later she left
for Chicago, where she now is and where
her artistic work is winning her deserved
fame.
Accomplished organist though she was,
Mrs. Hoffman found a worthy successor
in Miss Gertrude Sans Souci, who now
occupies the position as organist at the
Cathedral. For so young a woman Miss
Sans Souei has won for herself an en-
Yiable standing among the women or

a young school boy, not yet in his teens
ne sang in the chiidren's mass and later
at the 1890 O'Clock mass. Just before he
accepted the position as director at the
Cathedral he was connected with the
choir of st. Mary's for a short time but
that was the only break in his thirty
eight years of service. John c. Hanley
is another old-time member of the choir
who is still connected with it, Mr. Han
ley has sung in the Cathedral choir for
twenty-five years and in his quarter of
century of service he has seldom miss
ed a Sunday. Mrs j. r. King, who now
sings in the chorus, is still another mem
Der who was connected with the early
history of the choir An event in the
history of this choir and the church was
the purchase of the present pipe organ.
The organ cost 5000 and was purchased
by the congregation twelve years ago.
The fact that Archbishop Ireland, when

seal service, and that service, even more
IMAM other Catholic churches in the city
draws on wide and classical repertory
OF masses and organ literature. The
CHRISTMAS and Easter services are espe-
claliy elaborate. For these services an
orchestra Is generally employed. During
Holy week the chanting OF the Tenebrae
by the seminarians from ST. Thomas on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights
OF that week adds peculiar solemnity to
the last days Of Lent as observed in the
Catholic church. This custom will be
followed caring the coming Holy week.

THEORY OF ACCIDENT
AMERICAN DOCTORS WILL PRO
BADLY ACCEPT THIS.
Yesterday Conducted Post-Mortem
Examination on the Body Of Mrs.
Gore-Gowdy Still TAX
ing Dispositions.

Paris, Nov. 3.-In spite of the rigid
secrecy which has been maintained by the
officials and by the committee OF Ameri-
can doctors concerning the result OF the
autopsy conducted by the latter on the
body of Mrs. Ellen Gore, 1t Is learned
from an authoritative source that the doc-
tors tend individually to the acceptance
to the theory of an accidental death and
the probabilities are that their official
report will strongly incline to that theory,
IL it does not positively assert 1t. thus
bringing the French and American doc
tors into agreement and relieving the case
of any international Significance.
After the post norton examination held
this morning, the American doctors ar
ranged to have a consultation later in
the day in order to draw up their official
report, but this conference was postponed
owing to the indlsposition OF one OF
the gentlemen. Meanwhile the doctors
were interviewed by the representative
of the Associated Press, but they posi-
lively declined to make any statement
as to the results of the examination. 1t
Is clear, however, that the American doc
tors are impressed with the thoroughness
with which the French surgeons investi-
gated the case and they are not inclined
to raise a professional issue.
At least two of the American doctors
hold an outright accident theory and they
will seek to have their view incorporated
in the official report. The grounds for
this conclusion are the following:
THE French experts exhibited at the
morgue this morning a geometrical design
In which one line showed the direction of
the bullet from the revolver as 1t struck
the floor and another line showed the
victim in leaning posture. sitting at the
foot of the bed as had been described by
De Rydzewski The angle Of the bullet
tailed exactly with the geometrical de-
sign based on De Rydzewski's statement
and the American doctors verified this.
The fact that the direction of the wound
was almost parallel with the earth is ac-
counted for by the leaning posture of the
victim.
The doctors regard this design as
almost equivalent to a mathematical
demonstration.
Consul General Gowdy continues to take
the disposition of all witnesses.
The Temps tonight says that II was the
activity displayed by the Russian colony
on behalf of De Rydzewsk that stimu-
lated the American officials into counter
activity on behalf of the late Mrs. Gore.
