The priests had worked themselves to a state bordering on frenzy, reeling and falling in fantastic figure: sing their hands and crying aloud in mental anguish.

AT NIAGARA FALLS Three Young Men Risk Their Lives. RECOVER A SUICIDE’S BODY EARN A REWARD OF A THOU- SAND DOLLARS. | Perilous Undertaking Watched by a Breathless Crowd on Shore, Who Cheered the | Exploit. Special Dispatch to The Call. NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., Oct. 6.— Fred Preston, his younger brott a man named Howard Blake has ac- complished one of the greatest feats of daring in the history of the falls, and incidentally recovered the body of Peter Schemm, the Philadelphia millionaire, who committed suicide by jumping over the falls from Goat land bridge on September 13. There w a reward of $1000 for the body of Schemm, which was needed in order to collect insurance. Young Preston, since the reward was offered, has camped at .he great whirlpool ni~ht and day. With a spyglass he has watched the floating wreck of driftwood and dead animals which col- lects above the vortex every hour of the day,. At night, benumbed with cold but with the aid of great fires, he has watched the swirling of the green water. This mornirg he saw something which looked like a bod Preston, who has rescued bodies before, did not dare swim to the pool—a feat which he has often accomplished—on account of the cold. He transported a boat from Queenstown, and with his com- panions braved the terrible currents of the revolving circle of water. It was | soon in the middle where a few specta- | shoot up from cne green water. B. | tors on shore saw a huge black object It was a log held prisoner by the undertow, and being sudcenly released sought the surface and bumped the boat, but did not strike it squarely. Undaunted, the men rowed to the ve verge of the rapidly revolving mass of drift which is collected over the vortex. The body was caught in the limbs of a tree, but the men dis- engaged it and securing it with a rope started back to the shore. The crowd cheered. They rowed powerfully and soon were near the shore, the body of Schemm towed behind. It is undoubtedly the body of the mil- lionaire, who committed suicide because his eyesight was failing him. Several other bodies have been found, which were thought to be Schemm’s remains, but investigation showed they were not. Fillings in the teeth of the remains re- covered to-day make the identification complete. DISASTROUS FIRE RAGED AT HANKOW Fears That a Thousand Lives Were Lost—A Square Mile of Prop- erty Burned.

The first of these affected the question of a heading or title for the constitution, canons, etc., of the church, and provided it should be | as_follows: | “Constitution and canons for the gov-| ernment of that part of the catholic church known in America as the Pro- testant Episcopal church in the United States of America.” The amendment made by the last con- | vention incorporated in the title the fol- of the 1 ng words: “That portion catholic church known in law as.” The change had few advocates, but many opponents, who asserted that the umbersome and ary to de- e a part the title unneces allans we! change made awkward, that it v clare that the Epi: of the catholic church and that some wag would soon nickname the Episcopalians the “in- church.

It was announced that the Woman's | Auxiliary, aiso in convention here, had reported a collection of $80,400 for mi: sions, about $25.000 more than for the pre- vious ar.
