Zion City Kept
It's Promise to Pay

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Zion City has
paid the final instalmlnt on the big
debt which a year ago involved it in
sensational bankruptcy proceedings
and threatened to wreck the gigantic
enterprise established by John Alexan-
der Doiwe. Checks were sent out to-
day by Deacon G. b.. Barnard, in pay
ment of the financial department Of
Zion, proximately $140, 600, of the or
ignal Indebtedness of more than $780,
900.
The payment brings to a conclusion
one of the most remarkable cases of ap-
plication for bankruptcy in the annals
Of the country. One year ago a num-
Der of Chicago creditors Of Zion City
petitioned Judge Kohlsaat for the APP
pointument Of receivers for the Zion
institution
Judge Kohlsaat appointed receivers
and they took chrage Of Zion. Dowie
protested that he could pay the debt in
q year If the receivers were removed.
A committee of the creditors heard
of the argument of Dowie and came to
the conclusion that he was better fitted
to conduct the affairs Of Zion than any
other person. 1t was arranged that he
TO pay 10 per cent in three months
% per cent in six months, and % per
cent in nine months, and the balance
of 40 per cent in q year. Dowie has
kept his agreement to the letter and
paid 100 cents on the dollar Of every
claim involved.

Chicago, Dee. 13.-Something akin
to a panic broke loose in the big State
street department stores late this after.
noon, when the electric ligths in the
loop district went out without warn
ing, just as the Christmas shopping
was at its height. The stores were
crowded and when the darkness came
some one shouted watch your pocket
books" The ~proprietors took precau-
ton and hastily summoned the police,
closing the doors until their arrival,
fearing some valuables would be stolen
from the counters and carried away.
No one was allowed to enter, and no
one could leave except after scrutiny,
conducted by the glow of lighted
matches and candles.
There was a policeman at every door,
who insisted on the right to search.
Floor walkers amt detectives busted
themselves by going through the dark
ened aisles and giving whispered orders
to clerks to shove bundles Of articles
under the floor, behind the counters
and show cases. The scare of shoppers
was quickly abated, and the queer sit
uation was turned into one of amuse-
ment.

buildings, two Of which are Quilted.
Because Of the dense smoke it was
almost impossible to get access to the
burning buildings, and the heat being
so intense, despite the zero weather
prevailing. The fire will, it seems,
burn itself out, as the firemen are plac-

in danger. 8
In front Of the burning building of
Boutelle Brothers there stands a street
car totally demolished by a falling
electric pole, from which several live
wires were burned. Only n man is
reported killed by these wires, though
several were stunned.

Chicago.-The final act in the life of
Miss Myra Delaro, "a. years old, a
pretty opera singer, was the most thrill
ling and spectacular in her career.
A hundred people, almost frozen
with horror, watched her fall to her
death from the fourth story window
of the Revere house.
She had been out of an engagement
for a month, and, fearing prosecution
because she was unable to a her
hotel bill, she attempted to escape
from the hotel by climbing down an
improvised rope. from her room on the
fifth floor.
Miss Delaro had descended less than
one story wnen persons in the hotel
and on the street saw her, and shout
ed to her to climb back. She tried
to do so, but her strength failed, and
in the presence Of the crowd, which
had gathered, she fell to the pave
ment, and was instantly killed. The
young woman made a rope py tearing
up some blankets and sheets, ana
started to climb down from her win
dow, which faced an alley. Mrs. EN-
ma Leslie saw her from her laundry
across the alley. and shouted to her
to go back. Mrs. Leslie then ran into
the hotel to get help. A man in the
room adjoining to where Miss Delaro
was hanging, with her knees against
the wall, opened his window. In an
swer to his startled query sne replied:
Il can't pay my room rent" go
back. woman, I'll pay your rent" de-
clared the man. She started to climb
upward but had gone only a few feet
when she suddenly lost her grip and
fell.

Japs Will Meet
Russian Baltic Fleet

London, Dec. IA. The Shanghai
correspondent of the London Post
claims to have information to the eff.
cot that a Japanese squadron will soon
start in search Of the Russian Baltic
fleet, with intention of giving battle at
a point far removed from Port Arthur.
This move, the correspondents infor.
mant states, has been made possible by
recent addions to the Japanese feet,
which increases it to an exceptional
grade of efficiency. A dispatch to the
Daily Mail says: q
An officer has returned from the
army before Port Arthur says the delay
observed in Russian preparations for
the gathering the dead during the arm
istices showed a scarcity of available
men in the garrison.

FRIENDS YET BITTER FOES.
kuropatkin and Japanese Minister Te
rauchi Are Divided by War.

N~uropdtktn and Japanese minister Ie-
rauehi Are Divided by War.
An interesting tale of the great
struggle at arms between Japan nj
Russia lies in a long established per-
sonal friendship between General Te-
rauchi, minister of war of Japan n
General Kuropatkin, commander in
chief of the Russian armies in Man.
churia, and an exchange of swords
as presents between them on the eve
of the war.
They met in Paris 20 years ago. Te-
rauch, then a major, was a military
attache to the Japanese legation in the
French capital land kuropatkin, a ma
jor general at that time, went to Paris
to observe the military maneuvers. The
two soldiers met first officially, and
there soon sprang up between them
a feeling of warm personal friendship
and regard. They parted in Paris and
did not meet again until Kuropatkin
came to Japan last year. The lapse
of years had brought increased rank
and cabinet portfolios for both, and
their reunion was an interesting one.
Events were then moving rapidly
toward war, but the rupture had not
come, and the two ministers met as
friends and freely enjoyed the reun-
ion. When Kuropatkin was about to
leave Japan for home Terauchi pre-
scented to him a Japanese sword with
a blade of the finest workmanship and
interesting history. When he reached
Russia Kuropatkin gave IN order for
the manufacture of a Russian sword
for his friend, Terauchi. 1t was I'm
ished and dispatched in December and
reached the Japanese capital q week
before Togo's guns opened fire IN Port
Arthur.
A somewhat peculiar thing about the
Russian sword is that it reached 10
kio with the blade keenly sharpened, a
custom followed by officers as a rule
only in time Of war.

Robbers
Shoot a Hunter

Portland, Ore, Dec. 10. - Four
MASKED and heavily armed men wait.
ing tonight to hold up the Spokane
flyer on the Oregon Railroad & Navi-
cation company's line at Monsvilla
switch, just east of the city limits of
Portland, were met by a young man
named Peter Yetter, who was return
ing from a hunting trip. Yetter was
carrying a Winchester rifle, and when
seen by the bandits was commanded to
throw up his hands. The young fellow
refused to do SO and the robbers opened
fire on him, which Yetter returned,
Yetter was hit in the side and slightly
wounded, and from the fact that he
heard one of the men cry out, "Oh,
God, I'm shot. Joe," Yetter thinks
that n of the bullets took effect. The
night as pitch dark, and Yetter was
unable to see what became of the men,
who abandoned their attempt to hold
up the train.
Yetter states that he was walking
along the track and when nearing the
Montavilla switch he suddenly saw the
white switchlights change from white
to green. He continued ON along the
track, and when near the light was
surprised to see four men, who, in the
dim light, he could see were masked
and heavily armed, waiting for him.
As o as they discovered him the
bandits levelled their weapons on him
and commanded him to throw up his
hands. Instead of complying he swung
the Winchester into position. but be.
fore he could discharge the gun he felt
q singing sensation in his side.
He was slightly stunned by the force
of the bullet, but recovered himself
just as one of the men turned and fired
at him again. Yetter says that he fired
in the direction of the flash and heard
the robber cry out in pain.
The robbers had already started to
run when they fred the last shot, but
as Yetter was considerably weakened
by loss of blood he was unable to pur.
sue them and they escaped.

The New York Times says:
A canvass of the popular vote at the
last presidential election, complete, ex-
cept as to one county in Tennessee and
four counties in Michigan, for which
estimates are given, shows that Presi-

This is more than 400, 1000 in excess OF
the vote cast for Mckinley in 1900.
The official figures for Missouri show
that Roosevelt carried that state by
25, 600.
In Maryland one republican elector
received the largest vote, but his col

of Maryland therefore will have seven

CANONlAT|ON BY THE POPE
SIXTY THOUSAND PEOPLE PRES.
EMIT IN ST. PETERS, ROME.
Ceremony 10 Rare in Recent Timss--
Second Time Since 1870-Wondrous
scens-The Pope in Full Pontifaeal
Costume Was Greeted With APP
piause--Americans Present.

Rome, Dec. 12.-In the presence OF
$4,000 people assembled in st. Peters,
Pope Plus x Sunday morning canon
lied Blessed Alessandre SAUL. and
Blessed Gerardo MaieIla, descendants
of whom, including Marquis and Ann
brosio, SAUL and Negrotto, assisted in
the lamentations, a ceremony 80 rare
in recent times that this is only the
second time that it has Deen held since
1870.
The basilica was beautiful with cleo
trio lights, it's immense height showing
the Examinations to perfection. The
throne roo had been erected behind
the high altar and chair of st. Peter,
having a device of rays of gola with a
picture of the Trinity in the center. Al
together the throne took up a space OF
90x70 feet. Four banners hung under
the dome, showing the chief miracles
Of the new saints.
The papal procession met In the Sis
tine chapel, entering the basilica by the
chapel of the holy sacrament. The
pope, in full pontifcial costume, was
carried in the sedia gestatoria, with it's
historic fans. His ROBUST figure and
handsome head showed thus to the
best advantage, and wnen he entered
the church it was impossible for the
authorities to repress entirely an out
burst of loyalty from the multitude.
which cried: Long live Pope Plus"
The lei vas such as to evoke the
devotion of the beholder, everything
having been done to heighten the ef-
feet, and the central figure in the cere-
monial presented a scene never to be
forgotten. His holiness was preceded,
surrounded and followed by guards OF
the court and high prelates. He look
ed pale, fatigued and less robust than
a year ago, as though the triple crown
were bearing more heavily upon him.
The pope was thus escorted to the
throne, the cardinals, arcnbishops and
bishops forming a square about him.
The ceremony that followed was in
teresting in the extreme. Pope Plus
pontificated, preserving a calm, rever-
entail air to the end, although, as ne
confessed later, he vas greatly IA
tigued.
After the ceremony the procession
a reformed amid P'-rmurs of love
and loyalty. All tho American prelates
now in Rome who assisted at the beat
ification OF Thursday OF the saints
canonized Sunday were present, as was
also the faculty of the American col
lege at Rome.
