OFF TO kt0NOIkE
TO FIND DEAD
HUSBAND
MRS r. NJ. RAWLlNs. OF NEW
YORK, WHO ELoPso IN 1902.
HOPES TO PROVE HER WIDOW.
HOOD.

NEW YORK, May 26-With the
hope OF finding grave In the golden
klondike thatw Ill give her the right
10 wear widows weeds, Mrs. X. NJ.
Rawlins, who until her elopement six
years ago with a handsome English
man. was the beautiful Miss Ethel Hol-
man. OF this city. has started on a
lone Journey OF five thousand miles.
When she has reached her objective
point in little Alaskan cemetery,
she will possess the peculiar record
OF having girdled the globe in her
efforts to discover whether she Is
wife or widow
Virtually before her honeymoon had
ended this unique search began and
for fve and u half years Mrs. Rawlins
has been engaged in the hunt, paying
thousands TO agents in various parts
OF the world, besides exploring many
OF the large cities herself.
Left Her Home Secretly.
Mrs. Rawlins departure for the west
was decidedly in contrast with her
going away in 1902. Then she was
the blushing bride OF man who had
won her heart in romantic fashion,
after seashore meeting, but whose
wish 10 wed her was vigorously OPP
posed by her relatives:
Strong in her love for him, she Sc
cretly left her home at Thirty-fourth'
st and Madison-ave., and sailed to
Europe as his wife. certain that events
would prove her course a happy one.
Five months after. while the couple
were In Paris. the bridegroom sudden
" disappeared. From that time no
member OF his family, which Is said
TO be we'll known In London's social
circles. has ever heard from him.
Throughout the five and half years
that have elapsed, the bride has al
ways refused 10 believe that he VIII
fully deserted her. 'She has consoled
herself with the thought that he went
away TO some field in which he i'm
agined he could make a fortune quick
~ and that while so engaged he met
with some mishap.
Started on GirdIe Of Globe.
When elapsing time convinced her
that he would not return, she started
on her globe-girdling search. After
visiting all the large cities OF Europe,
she went TO the diamond mines OF
South Africa, and then later carried
her search 10 the Philippine islands
Wherever she has heard that adven'
turous men were congregated she has
made Investigations through represen-
tatives.
About a month ago, Mrs Rawlins
read in an English paper of the death
In the Klondike OF an Englishman,
whose antecedents were unknown ard
who had amassed a fortune as an as
sociate OF Macdonald, king OF the
Klondike.
| Mrs. Rawlins at once determined on
making the journey TO Alaska. She
arrived In this city on Saturday. and
from that time until her departure
was the guest OF friends at the Hotel
Gotham in Newark and at New Ro-
chelle.
Mrs Rawlins is still a young and
pretty woman. She is only 20. having
been less than 81 when she was left
alone without a protector in one OF
Paris big hotels

EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE IN MINNIE.
APOLIS is TO BE DIS
CONTINUED.

BALTIMORE. May 26.-The com.
mittee on episcopacy of the Methodist
Episcopal conference, in session here.
has recommended that Detroit again
have bishop. The committee further
advises the establishment OF new
episcopal residences In Pekin, China;
a City OF Oklahoma, New Orleans and
Omaha. That in Minneapolis will be
discontinued. Two bishops will be as
signed to China and the next foreign
bishop will be placed in France.
On the twelfth ballot rev. Charles
w. Smith. of Pittsburg, was elected
a bishop. The result was: Total,
7ii; necessary to choice. 496
The conference decided that there
shall be two corresponding secretaries
Of the Board OF Freedmen's Aid who
shall be coordinate, the understanding
being that one shall be a white man
and the other a negro. IL was deemed
that II would be for the advantage OF
the church to have two men represen-
tive OF each race.
The conference put itself on record
as indorsing unqualifedly the work of
the anti-saloon league and also favor
ing the local option.
The committee on revision has de-
cided 10 recommend the elimination
from the baptismal service OF the dec.
laration that all men are conceived
and born in sin. The same committee
will report adversely 10 the memorial
asking that the word catholic" be
omitted from the Apostles Greed.

KISSED BY EXCITED CROWD
Popular III Feeling Against Dr.. Peters
Breaks Out.

Cologne, Jan. 1.-THE Peters libel
suit has brought out expressions of
popular i'll feeling and when Peters
left the courtroom at lunch time he
was followed by an excited crowd
shouting Murderer" and other ep-
ithets. Herr Won Pechmann, who tes-
tilted for Peters, received similar
treatment. DR.. Peters, who was at
one time governor of German East
Africa, is suing the Cologne Gazette
for libel, charging that certain pub
lished statements alleging misconduct
on his part in Africa are untrue.
Several of those who annoyed Pe-
ters were arrested.
Tho evidence being given at this
trial is practically repetition OF that
brought out at previous hearings of a
similar nature, but the recitals of the
witnesses are arousing considerable
local Indignation.
