Her Public Statement.

Mrs. DOnnelly made the following
statement. whose publication she au-
thOrized:
THE Marqulse De Monitors wishes to
say II is quite true that she has aban-
doned Catholicism for the Protestant
faith, but she does not wish To discuss
the matter or 10 give any reason for
the step she has taken"
The marquise. as is well known, led
an unhappy life with her husband,
whose feFVid re .iglOus opinions did not
influence his mode OF life as pOtenty as
might have been expected. This dis
crepancy between religious ferNOr and
moral laXIty was, II is said by those
around her. the first cause or that doubt
which gradually Tpened into feeling
OF dislike, and finally OF open revolt
against the religion which she had for
merly espoused so enthusiastically II

The Marquise De Monitors knew that
she could not punish her husband more

Her Family Troubles.

The holy father takes the greatest
interest IN her case and is anxious 10
effect a reconciliation between her and
her husband. In Vatican circles, indeed.
It is confidently hoped that in the near
future the marquise viii reconsider her
decision. In the meantime it can be
asserted as a fact that as soon as the
marqUise's health viii permit OF her
leaving the hotel she viii again be re-
ceivSd IN private audience by the holy
father.

The marquiss is staying a the Hotel

the best suite or rooms. opening on

spends nearly the whole day, seated in
her deck chair, among the flowers and
plants she loves. Her aunt. Mrs Don
nelly, hardly ever leaves her, as she is
a great invalid. She has also d faithful
French eourtier, NJ. Eugene, and TWO

NOT FOR HIM.
People of Sitka Strongly Op-
 pose Braly

That the people of sitka are not pleased because of the respointment of Gov. Brady is evident from the follow ing dispatch in the Seattle times:
 "There is no disgusting the fact that the feeling in the governors home town is one of disappointment among the larger part of the citizens. Gov. Brady's affiliations with the Presbyter- ian missions have created great pre- iudlce against him and have caused a widespread feeling that he is opposed to the advancement of Sitka commer- ciaIlv because such advancement would hamper the missionary work now be- ing pushed among the natives here.
 The absence of any enthusiasm over the appointment indicates most plainly the sentiment here.
 "A new newspaper Is to be started here about January 1, and it is gener- ally supposed it will be autt-Brady. The present newspaper, the Alaskan, is owned by Gov, Brady's sister-in-law, Miss Cassie Patton, and has been pro nounced in it's leaning toward the mis- sionary faction. It is hoped that the new sheet will stir up the town. Its editor will be II. W. Robinson, form ,rly a member of the marine guard at Sitka."

PINEHURST SPORTS.
Indoor and Outdoor Pleasures at
Hand.

Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
PINEHURST N. c., December %, 1904.
Christmas finds a large and congenial
company assembled here, which will be
greatly increased with the coming of New
Year. Informal pleasures, both indoors and
out, are filing in the social calendar, and
delightful weather is contributing to the ell
joyment of all.
Among the pleasant features of the week
was a modelling party at the Holly Inn, at
which the participants fashioned from mod
cling wax compound, within given space
of time anything that fancy dictated All
sorts of odd creations resulted some OF
them ludicrous and amateurish, but others
finished and artistic. Mrs. Leonard Tufts
of Medford. Mass, won the women's prize
with ION the Point a bas-reief of a set
ter and DIR. George S. Hill of Marblehead,
Mass, the mems, with medallion of
George Washington.
Card parties are much enjoyed. and in
door putting contests seem to be more
popular than ever before.
A putting contest at The Inn drew over
seventy participants, and the scores were
excellent and close.
Another event of the same character held
at the Harvard was won by DR.. NJ. A.
Crockett of Buffalo, N. Y, and Mrs. f. III.
Abbott of Bethlehem, n. II.
Trap-shooting events are being held semi
weekly, and handicap pistol tournaments
every Friday.
The annual inauguration tournament to
be held here from January II to IA, is being
anticipated with pleasure by the guests

STREET FAKIRS.
The Usual Christmas Crowd is Very
Much in Evidence.

The street fakirs who come with every
Christmastime and line themselves along
the curbstones of 18th and 9th and + streets
arc abroad in the land today mingling
their shouts with the hustle and roar of
Christmas shopping They do not believe
in the ideal eight hours for work. eight
for play and eight for rest, but are out In
sunshine or storm, muffled to the ears in
heavy coats for business day of thir-
teen hours. which begins at 0 am. and
ends at 10 pm. All day long they shout
their wares until their voices get as thick
as foghorns and their noses blue with the
cold. Their wares equal those found in
the stores and include the latest novelties.
Among them the loop-the-loop a whole
express train; skyscrapers of a dizzy
height for from three to ten cents; steam
boats that run on land banks that show
and register the number of pennies they
contain; dogs and monkeys that walk, and
numerous other toys for the children.
These fakrs are not all residents of
this city, as one would suppose, but scores
of them come from New York and other
large cities where they can get their wares
cheaper. Just before Christmas large stocks
are shipped to this city and stored in cell
lars or a vacant store and then disposed
of to the small boys or local agents. The
profits for the ten days or two weeks, it
is declared, are something like $500 stand.

children the English words as he had heard
them. There were several hundred little
ones of all sexes in that impromptu choral
society. and they worked faithfully to mas
ter their parts Of the music and were highly
successful.
The arrangements for the Christmas fes-
dval were made so that the children could
attend divine service first and then march
In body with the priest at their head, to
the colonels quarters, where the Christmas
tree was placed. On the tree was present
for each one of the children, and they had
behaved themselves remarkably like
American children in order to deserve those
presents. All the officers and men gathered
in the court yard of the coloners house
when the time came for the procession of
children to arrive. We officers were
the center, and the men were lined up about
the sides of the place.
According to Program.
"As the time neared for the arrival of the
procession we heard sound of music, and
as it came nearer made out the tune. We
all smiled, not thinking for minute where
the sound was coming from. We did not
realize this until the procession entered the
yard and then all of a sudden we were all
seized with an uncomfortable desire to
cough and sneeze, and the colonel tried to
frown. Those children came trooping in
through the great hallway with the priest
IN the robes of his office, and they are
much more elaborate in the Philippines
than they are here. He was walking slowly
with his hands clasped in front of him and
his head slightly bowed, just as he would
walk in the professional at church. The
children were as serious in demeanor as
their reverend leader They, too, walked
with hands clasped and heads bowed, and
they were all singing the regimental hymn,
singing loudly, with the most distinct enun-
ciation in fact, pronouncing those utterly
inappropriate words more distinctly and
more clearly than they ever pronounced
English words before or ever have since.
They came slowly, the various parts ar
ranged in perfect harmony, and the walls
of that old house rang as they never rang
before with the ribald words of that song:
'Haili HALL
The gangs all here.
What the hi do carer
What the hi do CARE?
over and over again. 1t was too much for
the younger officers. They looked at that
dignified body of children with the stately
figure of the priest in front of them, and
doubled ups~with suppressed laughter. l
was standing with the commanding officer
and had to keep straight face, and never,
