Proposed Visit of Britain’s Ruler Causes Great Discussion at the Vatican. ROME, April 5. cussion at the Vatican continues to be whether or not King Edward will see the Pope. The ceremonial proposed, that the King should start from tie British Bm- bassy, is much opposed, “not because he would be starting from the residence of an Embassador accredited to the Quirinal for the King once there, say the Vatican authorities, it ceases *to be an embassy to becothe the house of the sovereign, but because Cardinal Rampolla must re- turn the royval visit to the Pontiff, and he would arrive at the house when, King ward having left it, had become again an embassy acéredited to the King of Itaiy. Tt Is suggested that King Edward on leaving the Vatican should return to the British embassy, followed closely Cardinal Rampolla, who would arrive while the King was there. The objection against this course is that it would create a precedent. The nuncio at Lishon has been charged to sound King Edward on the subject. he chief topic of dis- | | i 4 DIVORGEE'S lllfl& ENDS Austrian Baron’s Former Wife a Suicide.

Recently Divorced in Sioux Falls From Austrian Nobleman. SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., April 5—Mrs. Louis Ames Van Weik, who committed sulcide In New York, was until a short | time ago Baroness Wolfbauer, the South Dakota courts having only recently grant- ed her a divorce from Baron Wolfbauer, an Austrian nobleman. For about a year past she resided at Hot Springs, a summer resort in the western part of the State, and in Sioux Falls, coming from Hot Springs to this city last October. She was a lover of books, fine works of art, of music and ‘of golf. TUpon reaching Sioux Falls'she engaged apartments in a local hotel, which she occupied until re- cently, when she was granted a divorce and departed for the East. She evidently feared that the Baron would contest the legality of her divorce decree, for she re- tained a room in her hotel, for which she agreed to pay indefinitely, her purpose be- ing to thus maintain a semblance of a residence in this city and State, so that her decree should not be attacked on that score, Her father was a captain in the United States army. She was born near Buffalo, N. Y., about thirty-two vears ago. Her father was stationed at various military posts, where she lived with her parents until the death of both father and moth- er, when she was sent to Indiana and be- came a student at DePauw University. Her paternal grandfather had been prosi dent of this educational institution many years before. It was this fact which de- termined the selection of the university as the place for her education, and as a granddatighter of ex-Pregident Ames she naturally was distinguished among the students of the institution. Although Baltimore was claimed as her formec hcme, she passed very little of the last ter years of her life in that city. Miss Ames was exceedingly popular, 2 — — - THI; steamer Alliance of San Francisco, with fifteen passengers aboard, siruck the rocks at Point Gorda, on the Northern California coast, Saturday night, and was necar re The vessel was fortunate in running lightly on the ledges and was enabled F qu She then stcamed southward as far as Caspar and was beached in a sandy re the extent of her damage may be'determined to-day.
