TAKES HER COFFIN HOME
Her Illness May Prove Fatal En-
Route on Steamship.

NEW YORK.-All preparations
for death were made by Mrs. Paula
de Diaz, one of the passengers leav-
ing this city yesterday on board the
Metapan of the United Fruit line.
Mrs. de Diaz is the widow of a
banker of Valparaiso, Chilli, and came
to this city month ago to be treated
for a tumor which for years had
threatened her life. Upon consulting
various surgeons here she was in
formed that in the advanced state of
her ailment an operation would be
fatal She decided to return to her
home, but first made all preparations
for the event of her death at sea.
When the Metapan steamed yestar-
day Mrs. de Diaz with two nurses
and her personal physician, occupied
the most spacious suite on board,
while in a compartment in the hold
was a solid mahogany coffin, which
Mrs. de Diaz selected herself in this
city.
To reach her home Mrs. de Diaz
must cross the Isthmus of Panama
and take a second steamship journey
to Valparaiso.
In the event of her death her body
will be taken home by her physician
and nurses.

New York, Feb. 13.-In view Of the
extraordinary popularity that the
sport of ice skating is enjoying at the
present time, considerable surprise
and some disappointment is expressed
by lovers of the sport over the fact
that the United States and Canada
have not seen fit to send some of
their star performers to compete in
the worlds figure skating champion
ships this year. The championships
are scheduled to begin today in vi

Club of Austria, which this year is
celebrating its twenty-fifth anniver-
sary. Since 1890, at st. Petersburg,
there has been no American represen-
tative, so far as fancy skating is con-
cerned, in Europe.
Figure skating originated in Hol-
land and in 1860 was introduced into
England by royal exiles returning at
the time of the restoration from Hol
land, when they brought the Dutch
roll. In Scotland the Edinburgh Skat
ing Club existed In 1742. In America
figure skating was an institution In
colonial days, and in 1772 Benjamin

skater and during visit to England
he captivated the Londoners with hi'
