Place of Death Not Known.
/ The place of Mrs. Browns death is
not known, but from the itinerary OF
the convention party it is safe to say
that the end came somewhere in Par
estine. Jaffa, or Joppa, as it is more
commonly known, is a Mediterranean
seaport town about thirty-five miles
northwest of Jerusalem, and was prop-
ably the nearest cable station. The
convention party, numbering $50 per-
sons, left New York on March on the
specially chartered Lloyd steamship
"Grosser Kurfurst." The itinerary OF
the party's trip places them today IN
liberals. on the sea of Galilee, where
they were to take boats for Caperna-
UNI. On last Saturday they were at
Haifa, on the Mediterranean coast. and
from there they went overland in car
riages to Nazareth, where they spent
Sunday. Monday they were to leave in
for q drive past Mount Ia
Dor, the scene of the TRANSPORTATION.
and to Canaan of Galilee. and then on
to Tiberias, less than twenty miles
northeast of Nazareth.

position will be made of the body, bu,
Judging from experiences of others had
in foreign countries in sending bodies
to the United States, it is considered
whether the body can be pre-
pared for shipment and whether or nor
it would be accepted by the transpor>
tation company. 1t will take in the
of eighteen days to re-
ceive a letter from Joppa. in which the
plans of Mr.. Brown can be MADE
public.
