did not leave her oar. Tbe reason, how
ever, lay hi the very great care she Is
taking of her health and tbe variable
weather, which seems pregnant with ths
cold germ. For this reason she declined
r.Il entertainment from tie time when her
ear and that of the company were cut off
at ZO Hi o'clock from the Northwestern
train, which brought them from Minneap
o!!s. until t'liion Parlflc No. t pulled them
out for Sail Lake City. I hiring the day
E. RosewBter and members uf his family
puld their New Tear respect to the diva.
Madame Patti -seemed In the best of
health and spirit and expressed herself
well satisfied with the present tour of this
country. Imring the concert al Minne
apolis, wrrtch lest preceded her arrival
here, tbe new of the Chicago disaster
was received and caused ronaidc-able ex
citement and horror among tbe singers as
well en the audience, but the concert pro
ceeded without any apparent disturbance.
Madame Patti has appeared twenty-two
times during ttie tour and has yet thirty
eight concerts to give. The party arrives
In Bait Lake City Sunday night and the
concert 1 given the following evening.
From there the itinerary takes the great
singer to California and back again to
Omaha during the second week tn March.

ing ihe name of the baroness' castle in
Wales. Craig-T-Nos. which means Rock of
the Xight and is near Tstradginloa, Wales,
or sixteen miles from Swansea, th great
tin center. Madame Patti has not left this
car exoept to drive to tbe theaters since
she left New Tork. where she consented to
a single drive. The car is as well arranged
for a Wring place as any steamer. With
the diva i, of course. Baron Cederstrom.
and her maid, Caroline, who has tieen In
her service twenty-eight years. There Is
also an English companion. A piano bear
ing Craig-T-Nos castle In oil 1 one of
the luxuries. The concert company has a
second car. Madame Patti tawr one rec
ollection of Omaha always in mind and
one which is not usually thought of it Is
the bluebirds.
New Tear's evs, en route from Minne
apolis, the baron and Madame Patti had
the entire company in their private car
for a watch party, and thus sad not retire
until about " a. m Madame Patti slept
until late, but the barrm, as is his cus
tom, arose early and took a brisk walk of
several mile alone. He admired that part
of the city be saw and nn hi return asked
many questions about Omaha In general
and the state, its resources and conditions.
The baron Is a tan. We.tl-built man. has
dark blue eras, light hair and wears a
closely trimmed moustache, and speak
very fluently. He la very observing. He
appeared to be deeply Interested In the af
fairs .of the far oast and wanted to know
the opinion of others a lo the likelihood
of war between Ruas1aand Jupun.
The private car of the baron and baroness
bore striking evidence of a watch party,
with Its fragments of greens, mistletoe
and others scattered about.

Attorney Fitch and George Good enough,
a brother of Mrs. W. J. Christy, who wa
found dead In her room at HEW Burt street
the morning of Iiecemlier IK now allege
tliat the circumstances surrounding her
death lead to conclusions other than thai of
suicide by Inhsllng chloroform, which wns
the cause assigned for her deeth. They
suspect foul play.
Mrs. Christy was said to have had seri
ous trouble with her buBlanJ prior to com
ing to Omaha: tbe home ties had lieen bro
ken and the family, consisting of herself,
huslauid and two children, scattered. After
coming to Omaha Mrs. Christy engaged in
the rooming hnise business at 20?ft Burt
atreet, but the venture never paid and Mrs.
Christy was said to have committed the act
which ended her life in a fit ot despond
ency .-
Just s few day lief ore she was found

McCann. to Council Bluffs to collect SiMC

Thl wa believed to have hastened the
inevitable.
aspect Fwal riar.
Messrs. Fitch and Goodenough cite cir
cumsUmtial evidence in support of their
theory that Mrs. Christy met with foul
ply. They allege that the woman who
dressed Mrs. Chrinry" hair for burial found
a mark on her forehead which might have
been mude by a blunt Instrument; also
they say that Mrs. Christy wrote a most
cheerful letter to ber brother Just a few
hours before Rhe wa found dead and they
conclude that this letter tends to show
the condition of her mind.
Attorney Fitch and Mr. Goodenough have
preferred no charge have no proof. In
fact, bryond what 1 merwly circumstantial,
on which to liese their belief of foul play;
but Mr. Goodenough declares he will sift
the matter to the bottom.
The coroner and pollne do not coincide
with the suspicions entertained by the at
torney and relative of ths dead woman,
but adhere to the theory of suicide, as the
dead woman was found lying across her
bed with her face burled b a towel which
had but a few hours previously been sat
urated with chloroform.
