The payment brings to a conclusion
one Of the most remarkable cases of ap-

Judge Kohlsaat appointed receivers
and they took chrage of Zion. Dowie
protested that he could pay the debt in
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
was to pay 10 per cent in three months
25 per cent in six months, and % per
cent in nine months, and the balance
of 40 per cent in year. Dowie has
kept his agreement to the letter and
paid 100 cents on the dollar of every
claim involved.

Rome, Dec. 12.-In the presence OF
10000 people assembled in st. Peters,
Pope Plus x Sunday morning canon

Blessed Gerardo Maiella, descendants
of whom, including Marquis and Am

the lamentations, ceremony SO rare
in recent times that this is only the
second time that it has Deen held since
1870.
The basilica was beautiful with elec-
trio lights, its immense height showing
the Examinations to perfection. The
throne room had been erected behind
the high altar and chair of St. Peter,
having device OF rays of gola with a
picture Of the Trinity in the center. Al
together the throne took up 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 hoiy sacrament. The
pope, in full pontificial costume, was
carried in the sedia gestatoria, with its
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.

BATTER SUNkEN HUlkS.
Japanese Believe the Russian Squad
ron viii Never Fight Again.

Toxic, Dec. 1.-THE battering OF
the Port Arthur feet continues and
there is but little ground for expecting
that it will ever again engage the
Japanese. The battleship Sevastopol
continues at anchor outside. and it is
possible that she returns to the harbor
at night. Her anchorage is inside the
outer boom. which protects her from
torpedo attacks, besides, the heavy
weather recently has given her added
protection.
Naval experts are discarding the the.
DRY that the Russians sank and ships
themselves. The fact that the ves-
sells first showed lists, the exposed po-
sitions Of the sunken vessels and the
effort of the Russians to save the Saw
astopol are regarded as conclusive
against the theory of self sinking.

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 pay 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 when 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 rope by 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.
